Chapter 983: I Chose This pig teammate Myself, So I’ll Finish This Game Even If I’m Crying

Seeing that Kong Ding was already intoxicated by the world of Mahayana Buddhism, “Qi Yuan” did not disturb him, instead leading Ji Fan silently out of the secret room.

These Buddhist scriptures from Earth were dirt cheap in the System Store; he had only spent a few dozen counterattack points to exchange for a whole pile of them, yet they could greatly bolster his side's combat power—a perfect example of spending a little to achieve a lot.

Of course, only those devout Buddhist cultivators could unleash the power of Mahayana Buddhism. Without the support of Buddha Power, even if one memorized the diamond sutra by heart, it would be impossible to produce the slightest effect.

In the Cultivation World, the cultivation path of the Buddhist Sect was inherently different from that of the Daoist Sect, possessing its own unique system and pursuing the Perfection of wisdom and enlightenment to achieve the legendary ultimate Nirvana.

Simply put, compared to Cultivators who emphasized comprehending the Heavenly Dao and advocated the unity of man and nature, Buddhist cultivators focused more on developing their own potential, opening spiritual platforms and dharma idols within their acupoints to manifest many incredible Divine Abilities.

Even if the Origin power of the Yunmeng Great World was fragmented, making it difficult for ordinary Cultivators to achieve Immortal Ascension through normal means, it didn't have much of an impact on Buddhist cultivators.

As long as they obtained the corresponding Buddhist Fruit Position, they could ascend directly to the Western Pure Land through the Reception Pool of Spirit Mountain.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the four old demons who converted to Buddhism to ascend to the Immortal Realm all at once in such a short time, quietly completing a feat that would make countless Cultivators of the Yunmeng Great World beat their chests in frustration.

Therefore, “Qi Yuan” was very much looking forward to Monk Kong Ding's next performance.

As the Namo Guangde Buddha of Spirit Mountain, the man already possessed strength not inferior to a Daluo Immortal Lord and was clever enough; he was definitely not the kind of pig teammate who lacked brains.

The reason this fellow had become the Buddhist Sect's most wanted criminal was not due to a lack of ability, but because the enemies were too cunning and powerful; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't overcome them.

After comprehending Mahayana Buddhism, this former unlucky fellow might truly soar to the heavens and become the key trump card to turn the tide.

Leaving the secret room, “Qi Yuan” did not stay long in Ji Fan's Fuliu Immortal Lords Estate. After leaving a contact method, he drifted away under his subordinate's reluctant gaze and soon vanished…

Meanwhile.

Tai Hao Palace.

Qi Yuan's true body was also busy. While teaching Mahayana Buddhism to a certain Buddhist disciple through his phantom body, he also had to deal with various forces coming to congratulate him, plus familiarize himself with the various rules and procedures for the coronation of the new Immortal Emperor, essentially keeping him constantly on the move.

If not for his [Dual-Tasking] talent, he would have surely suffered from a split personality.

Only now did he realize why Tai Hao, who was the sole dominant power in the Immortal Court, had not simply taken all the important treasures from the Immortal Emperors Treasury for himself. It wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

Before disappearing, the Immortal Emperor had specifically set up a very special Restriction outside the Lingxiao Palace's treasury, which contained the power of the Great Dao. Even Tai Hao, who had also broken through to the Creation Realm, could not forcibly destroy it.

And the key to opening the Restriction was placed in a location called the Heaven Worship Platform.

The Heaven Worship Platform was a special Immortal Treasure that usually drifted aimlessly in the endless Void Realm outside the Immortal Realm. Except for those who had ascended the platform to offer sacrifices, no one could calculate its position.

Only when the new Immortal Emperor completed the series of procedures before the coronation, with all Immortals submitting and the whole world celebrating, would the Heaven Worship Platform descend from the heavens for the new Immortal Emperor to ascend and offer sacrifices.

This meant that whoever wanted to open the Immortal Emperors Treasury had to truly ascend to the position of Immortal Emperor and obtain the recognition of the Heaven Worship Platform.

Although he didn't know why Immortal Emperor Donghua had arranged things this way, it gave Shui Yunshan the room to exercise her initiative, thus planning this shocking gamble.

But the biggest problem was that even Shui Yunshan herself didn't know if Qi Yuan, the fake Tai Hao Immortal Lord, could obtain the recognition of the Heaven Worship Platform when the critical moment arrived…

Predictably, when he heard these words, Qi Yuan's mood was one of utter bewilderment, and he wished he could choke this troublesome woman to death on the spot!

This… after all that, such a critical matter was actually out of his control, and whether it succeeded or not depended entirely on fate? Are you sure you're not joking?

God knows how to get the recognition of the Heaven Worship Platform. If something went wrong, wouldn't all previous efforts be in vain?

If he didn't know that Shui Yunshan's brain worked in bizarre ways, Qi Yuan might have thought she was an undercover agent sent by the enemy to lure him out and kill him…

After a period of miserable rage, he could only accept this cruel reality.

There was no other way; after all, he chose this pig teammate himself, so he had to finish this game even if he was crying.

Now that things had reached this point, there was no turning back. He could only choose to go all out. Fortunately, he still possessed a Substitute Puppet, so it wasn't as if there was no room for error.

The only thing that gave Qi Yuan some comfort was that under the pretext of preparing to move, he had unceremoniously ransacked Tai Hao's Immortal Lords Estate, making a fortune.

Although the truly good things were certainly carried by Tai Hao himself, it was, after all, the residence of the Immortal Court's leader. Just the many rare treasures taken from the storehouse were enough to make a certain newly ascended Immortal, who had just arrived, wealthy overnight…

After thwarting Shui Yunshan's attempt to share the loot under the guise of a service fee, Qi Yuan slumped exhausted into his chair and casually took the ring inhabited by Old Man Shi out of the creation cauldron.

In the next moment, Old Man Shi's breathless and terrified voice rang in his ears:

“I didn't expect the long-lost creation cauldron to actually fall into your hands, little friend. I am completely convinced… let's talk things over. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will agree to any conditions!”

Seeing that the other party had already experienced the deterrent power of the creation cauldron, Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, calmly picked up his teacup for a sip, and said coldly:

“Fine, then tell me first: should I call you the Prime Minister, or should I address you as… the Ghost Emperor!”
