Chapter 448: Chapter 335 The Great Path Ends_2

The emaciated figure before him was like an endless abyss, as if it contained an entire epoch and seemed to harbor all of the Great Path and Laws.

This shocked him, while at the same time he felt somewhat amused.

Nowadays, there are rumors in the Chaos that the Chaotic Martial Ancestor is a fake, and with his understanding, the Supremes of the Dao Realm will definitely have some crooked ideas.

But now, having seen him, he was certain that the Chaotic Martial Ancestor before his eyes was definitely not a fake; even if not on the Great Path itself, he certainly transcended all of them, the Supremes.

Whoever dares to provoke him will absolutely regret it.

However, that’s not for him to worry about anymore.

"I see the repentance in your heart," Sun Wukong spoke again.

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm remained calm, but Kongxing felt somewhat surprised.

Repentance?

What does that mean?

Why would a Supreme need to repent?

"Truly, the Ancestral Martial is wise!" the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm said with a bitter smile, "In the previous epoch, I thought that by turning into consciousness, I was helping the Myriad Realms of Chaos escape a calamity, but I didn’t expect to instead push the Myriad Realms into an abysmal abyss.

Alas, I realized it far too late."

Sun Wukong said, "Buddha emphasizes a heart of Buddha as clear as Liuli, but now you’re caught in the hinderances of karma!"

A flash of shock passed through the eyes of the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm, not because of these words, but because he saw a pure buddha light shining from within Sun Wukong’s brow, purer even than his own!

At this moment, even he felt an urge to prostrate in worship.

But the problem is, he is supposed to be the Buddhist Law’s source among the Buddha Ancestors of All Heavens!

Ultimately...

"You wonder why my Buddhist Law is so pure?" Sun Wukong smiled.

"Previously everyone guessed that the origin of Vast Wilderness Daoism and Buddhist Law was related to the primordial spirits, but it seems they were all wrong," said the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm with a sigh of admiration, "If the junior has not guessed wrong, the Buddha Sect of Vast Wilderness originated from the Ancestral Martial’s hand!

No wonder the Vast Wilderness, as a newly established world, has Buddhist Law in some respects that is even more profound than that of the Buddhist Realm!"

At this moment, he referred to himself as a junior, clearly subdued by Sun Wukong.

And he knew that what the Chaos Martial Ancestor mastered was certainly not just Buddhist Law, but must also include the Dao.

After all, Dao manifestation exists in the Vast Wilderness too.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Whether it’s Buddhist Law or Dao, the Great Path is the same journey. Different paths lead to the same destination, all streams flow into the same source. When your realm reaches that level, you will naturally understand."

Upon hearing these words, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm’s eyes were full of longing.

He had always been pursuing a higher realm of the Great Path, which is why he had defected from the Dao Realm to establish the Buddhist Realm.

"Ancestral Martial, I have a question I want to ask. Can the law of the Respected Daoist step onto the Great Path?" the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm inquired.

Although he had placed all his hopes for attaining the Dao on Kongxing, without erasing Kongxing’s consciousness,

he also harbored an obsession. He wanted to know if what he had done in the previous epoch was right or wrong.

"What do you think the Great Path is?" Sun Wukong answered the question with a question.

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm fell into a period of silence.

What is the Great Path?

He had already traveled a long distance on the Great Path, being one of the strongest entities in the Myriad Realms of Chaos, so he had his own understanding of the Great Path.

"I believe the Great Path is the end of the Dao, where one merges with the Dao and exists within it forever," the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm mused.

"You are mistaken, the Great Path cannot be the end point!" Sun Wukong said, "The Dao has no end, that’s no idle talk. The Great Path is far from reaching an end point, and the so-called merging with the Dao is more of a joke."

Upon hearing these words, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm was stunned, and even his Dao heart began to ripple.

"Merging with the Dao is a form of imprisonment, a limitation!" Sun Wukong continued, "Walking the Great Path is actually a pursuit of freedom, breaking through constraints.

If you blindly pursue merging with the Dao, then you are on the wrong path and will never reach the heights of the Great Path."

"Freedom... Constraints!" the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm murmured, followed by another bitter expression, "It turns out, we have blocked our own way."

In the last epoch, in order to survive.

The Supreme of the Dao Realm proposed that all the Supremes transform into consciousnesses of the Primordial Source. As the Epoch collapsed, their bodies were destroyed, but their consciousnesses endured, allowing them to fake death and escape.

In the second Epoch, they used their consciousnesses to derive a new world, then erased the memories of those survivors, scattering truths and falsehoods about the events of the previous Epoch to weave a grand deception.

At the same time, the Supremes used a portion of the Primordial Source to nurture new bodies for sentient beings, hoping to continue their severed paths.

This seemed perfect!

However, after being informed by the Ancestral Martial, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm finally saw the truth: the moment they transformed their bodies into consciousness, they had completely severed their paths to the Great Path; even if they reconnected, they would be unable to climb to higher realms.

"It seems that the teacher’s cleverness was his own misfortune; he is completely trapped, how pitiful!" the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm sighed.

"Pitiful?" Sun Wukong smiled, "It’s you who are pitiful, not him!"

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm was taken aback as if he had realized something, but he quickly resigned himself and shook his head, sighing, "The path is severed, I’m tired too, I don’t wish to be involved in those deceptions anymore."

"Supreme!" Kongxing suddenly knelt down, imploring, "Supreme, please take back my body. Although the path is severed, with your overwhelming strength as a Supreme, you can surely let Buddhism flourish, to endure in this world!"

"Kongxing, you don’t understand!" The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm’s expression was calm, but his heart had died.

For a person devoted to the Dao, the severing of the path of the Great Path is a fatal blow.

Then, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm asked Sun Wukong, "Senior, can Kongxing pursue the Great Path?"

"Although he is born from your Primordial Source, he is now an independent consciousness, a brand new individual," Sun Wukong said with a light smile, "You are you, he is he. Your path is severed, but his is not!"

"Good, good!" The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm laughed.

Kongxing, a continuation of his Primordial Source.

As long as Kongxing can authenticate the Great Path, even if there’s only a slim hope, he still has the qualifications to pursue it.

"Junior, thank you for the enlightenment from the Ancestral Martial!" The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm bowed solemnly.

Sun Wukong smiled without a word.

"Senior, do you know the truth behind the Epoch Cataclysm?" the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm asked again.

"It must not be spoken of!" Sun Wukong shook his head.

After all, he himself only understood part of it; speaking more might lead to errors. It was better to remain silent.

To the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm, this seemed like Sun Wukong knew but deemed him unworthy of knowing.

So even though he was somewhat disappointed, he didn’t insist further.

"Nowadays, everyone is spreading rumors that you, Senior, are a fake of the Great Path realm, do you need me to clear your name?" The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm said again, with a trace of indignation in his tone.

For an existence as supreme as the Chaotic Martial Ancestor, such defamation is unforgivable.

After this meeting, the Chaotic Martial Ancestor had become a shining and towering figure in the eyes of the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm.

Sun Wukong laughed inwardly, this was just as internet friends had said, completely hoodwinked!

Thus, he smiled and shook his head: "No need, the chaos is certainly not as simple as you imagine. I am merely a chess player, and there are others who are chess players as well!"

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm fell silent again, as this was beyond his strength.

Although he was a Supreme, he definitely had no place in the struggles at the level of the Ancestral Martial.

"Thank you for the enlightenment, Ancestral Martial!" At last, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm bowed again, his face showing relief and ease, his visit was fulfilled.

"Supreme!" Kongxing showed sorrow, seemingly realizing what was going to happen.

"Kongxing, you are the continuation of the Buddhist Realm; from now on, it is yours," the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm said, then transformed into a ray of Buddhist light and dispersed.

Kongxing remained on the spot, overwhelmed with grief.

At the same time, the real body of the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm came to the Origin Realm.

"Great monk uncle, you’ve come!"

This was the Origin Realm, and the speaker was Cai Er, the disciple of the Origin Supreme.

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm nodded at Cai Er with a smile, then entered the Origin Realm.

"You... have come!" The voice of the Origin Supreme seemed somewhat somber, for the issues of the Sword Realm had dealt him a great blow!

"I have seen the Chaotic Martial Ancestor!" stated the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm straightforwardly, his gaze fixed ahead. He saw a massive primordial beast coiled in the endless stars, filled with supreme dignity.

In that instant, the Origin Supreme’s body trembled slightly.
