90: Three-seven split, three breaths, kill him seven times!

Western Heaven Sect.

Tathagata's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing. I'm stealing someone else's dao lineage??

While Tathagata was in shock, a Buddha statue slowly rose in the east, bathed in the radiance of the great sun, appearing exceptionally solemn and majestic.

"This... how is this possible?"

Tathagata turned to the Master of Tuoshenyuan: "Kāśyapa, is this what you meant?"

"What exactly is going on now?"

Kāśyapa, the Master of Tuoshenyuan, also stared wide-eyed at the Buddha statue appearing in the east: "This is impossible!"

"I clearly felt the summons of Heaven and Earth, so how did it go to the east?"

While Tathagata and Kāśyapa were bewildered, a figure appeared atop the Eastern Buddha statue.

"Nanwu Amitabha!"

Nanwu means Salvation assumed a solemn appearance, pressed his palms together, and chanted a Buddhist name!

"Bastard!"

"Shameless!!"

Hearing Shen Xuansheng's Buddhist chant, how could Tathagata and Kāśyapa not realize that their dao lineage had clearly been stolen? And now, it was being turned around as if they were the ones stealing his?

"Tathagata, don't be anxious yet, there is still hope!"

Kāśyapa took a deep breath and said, "You still have the Mahā Vairocana True Scripture. As a Buddhist teaching, the Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities within the Mahā Vairocana True Scripture can also serve as scriptures to deliver all living beings."

Upon hearing this.

Joy flashed in Tathagata's eyes. He immediately bowed to the heavens again, holding the Mahā Vairocana True Scripture in both hands: "Reporting to Heaven and Earth, my Western Heaven Buddhism has a Mahayana Sutra called the Mahā Vairocana True Scripture. Please, Heaven and Earth, observe!"

In the Eastern Domain, Shen Xuansheng's gaze was already fixed on the Western Sect. When Tathagata spoke of the Mahayana Sutra, Shen Xuansheng's brow furrowed.

"I actually forgot about this!!"

Sutras were also one of the foundations of Buddhism.

He had only thought about how to seize a portion of the Luck, but he had overlooked the Buddhist Sutras.

"Damn it, it won't actually let him succeed, will it?"

Shen Xuansheng watched the Western Heaven Sect. Sure enough, just as he thought, two lotuses of Heaven and Earth bloomed once more. This time, a golden lotus bloomed in the west, while a white lotus blossomed in the east.

"Good!"

Between Heaven and Earth, a single word reached the ears of Shen Xuansheng and Tathagata.

Shen Xuansheng reached out, and the blooming white lotus rapidly shrank, flying into his hand. An innate supreme treasure resides where Karma is; since Shen Xuansheng founded Buddhism, it naturally fell into his hands.

Tathagata was the same as Shen Xuansheng at this moment; the golden lotus fell into his hand.

"Shen Xuansheng!"

Tathagata naturally recognized Shen Xuansheng and stared at him with gritted teeth.

"Nanwu Amitabha!"

"Fellow Daoist seems quite angry!" Shen Xuansheng said with a smile.

Tathagata waved his hand, and the golden lotus flew into the air. The twelve-petaled golden lotus bloomed instantly, emitting an endless radiance: "Shen Xuansheng, you dare to intercept the Luck of my Western Heaven Sect? You're looking for death!"

Shen Xuansheng gave a light flick, and the white lotus ascended to the sky in response. It also bloomed with twelve petals, its white divine light clashing directly against the golden lotus's divine light.

Boom!!

The two lotuses collided in the air, and an endless amount of energy exploded instantly!

"Fu Shijia, you're overthinking things."

"Wasn't that Tuoshen Institute also taken in by your Western Heaven Sect? Now that I have established the Lingshan Great Sect, which conforms to the new Dao of the Heavenly Dao, how has it become a matter of me intercepting your Western Heaven?"

"Even being shameless should have a limit!"

Tathagata took a step forward and sat upon the golden lotus: "Nanwu Amitabha!"

"Shen Xuansheng, you still dare to say it wasn't intentional?"

Shen Xuansheng chuckled: "The Western Heaven has a Saint. Fu Shijia, you might as well have the Western Heaven Saint calculate it and see if there's anything wrong with my Dao title."

"I take my name as my title, bearing the Luck of a Great Sect and also shouldering its tribulations. My name is Nanwu means Salvation; is there a problem?"

Hearing this, Tathagata said angrily: "Shen Xuansheng, don't think that just because you changed your name, I won't recognize you!"

"Then please have your Western Heaven Saint calculate it!"

"I am Nanwu means Salvation, the 'Nanwu' of Nanwu Amitabha." After Shen Xuansheng finished speaking, the Buddha statue retracted, and the white lotus returned to its place: "From this day forth, I, the Eastern Buddha, am the orthodox Buddha. The Western Buddha is but a thief who stole from the Eastern Buddha!"

"The living beings of the Divine Continent Realm are not blind. The Heavenly Dao bestowed Luck, and the first place is with me in the East!"

Shen Xuansheng laughed and spoke no more with Tathagata.

Western Heaven.

Tathagata and Kāśyapa were both pale with rage.

"Our Western Heaven Sect staked our entire dao lineage on this, yet we were actually intercepted by this Shen Xuansheng!!"

Tathagata struck out with a palm, and a distant mountain was instantly leveled.

"Are you certain he is Shen Xuansheng? The Senior Brother of the Jiesheng Sect?" the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect asked, his expression showing little change.

Tathagata nodded: "Revered Master, that's right!"

"He is Shen Xuansheng!"

Tathagata said with certainty.

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect shook his head: "No, in his Karma lines, he is not Shen Xuansheng."

"But rather Nanwu means Salvation."

Hearing this,

Tathagata's eyes widened: "Revered Master, that's absolutely impossible!"

"I've seen Shen Xuansheng before; how could I possibly be mistaken?"

Kāśyapa spoke from the side: "Could it be that they just look alike?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"He is Shen Xuansheng. Furthermore, when I called him Shen Xuansheng, he didn't refute it," Tathagata said with absolute conviction.

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect looked at Tathagata's state, and a flicker of emotion finally appeared on his originally calm and rippleless face.

"If that's truly the case, then there is only one possibility."

Tathagata also seemed to realize: "Revered Master, you mean... a Clone?"

"No!"

"Even if it were a Clone, he couldn't have established Lingshan, because he carries the Jiesheng dao lineage."

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect slowly raised his hand, and a fallen leaf happened to fly into his fingertips: "No Karma lines, yet they are the same person. There is only one possibility in this world."

Tathagata and Kāśyapa looked at the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect.

"A type of Dao Body!"

"Known as One Qi Transforms into Three Venerables!"

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect's gaze turned toward the east, seemingly seeing Shen Xuansheng at this very moment with a single glance.

And Shen Xuansheng's gaze was simultaneously fixed on him.

"It seems Junior Martial Uncle has guessed it?"

A gentle smile appeared on the face of the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect: "For my Martial Nephew to have such good fortune, it is my Western Heaven that was a move short."

"Congratulations, Martial Nephew!"

Shen Xuansheng cupped his hands: "Junior Martial Uncle is too kind!"

"But I wonder, if Martial Nephew acts as the ancestor at Lingshan, how will you handle yourself at Jiesheng? Are you still willing to be a Disciple?" the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect said softly.

The smile on Shen Xuansheng's face grew even more brilliant: "What are you saying, Junior Martial Uncle? I may be an ancestor outside, but at home, I am still myself!"

"Does Junior Martial Uncle really think I am like Fu Shijia?"

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect's expression shifted slightly: "Hmph!"

"I hope Martial Nephew's Eastern Buddha can hold out. After all, this Western Buddha of mine is the entire Western Heaven Sect!"

Shen Xuansheng stood up, holding the white lotus in one hand: "Junior Martial Uncle, since you've already guessed it, why not guess further? Do I, your Martial Nephew, have other preparations?"

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect's expression suddenly changed.

He looked at Shen Xuansheng for a long time before finally spitting out a sentence: "What a 'One Qi Transforms into Three Venerables'!"

"This Junior Martial Uncle has truly had his eyes opened!"

"In the future, if Martial Nephew has time, come sit at my Western Heaven. I will certainly welcome you with open arms!"

"Certainly!"

Having their conversation across space and his secrets laid bare, Shen Xuansheng was quite dissatisfied, though it was an inevitable outcome.

The Black-Robed Youth sat behind Shen Xuansheng: "How does it feel?"

"Revered Master, can you beat him?"

The Black-Robed Youth set down his teacup: "A three-seven split!"

Shen Xuansheng looked at his Revered Master in confusion.

"In three seconds, I can kill him seven times!"

Shen Xuansheng gritted his teeth: "The Western Heaven Sect is shameless. They stole my companion magic treasure, leaving me unable to Cultivate and with abysmal innate talent. Revered Master, get him!"

The Black-Robed Youth looked at Shen Xuansheng.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Sufficient reasoning."

"Approved!"
