So, because of the Jade Emperor standing behind Li Changgeng, the Tathagata Buddha had no choice but to retreat.
After that, the Great Tang regained its calm, and no one from the Buddhist sect dared to come to the Great Tang. Whether it was Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, or ancient Buddhas, they all disappeared in the Eastern Land.
At the very least, there must be no mistakes before the Yaochi Peach Fair.
However, everyone knows that such peace will only be temporary.
After all, the spreading of the Dharma to the East is extremely important to the Buddhist sect. Even though they have suffered repeated setbacks, the Tathagata Buddha and many great supernatural beings in the Buddhist sect will never give up.
From the perspective of Li Heng, the holy emperor of the human race, he would never allow the Tang Dynasty to be transformed into a Buddhist kingdom by Buddhism. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
Now that Jade Emperor Tianzun is mediating in the middle, the conflict will not completely erupt.
However, after the Yaochi Flat Peach Fair is over, a world-shattering conflict will definitely break out between Buddhism and Li Heng, the contemporary human emperor.
At that time, even if the Great Heavenly Venerable in Heaven still wants to continue to protect Li Heng, the Tathagata Buddha may not necessarily continue to buy it.
In the eyes of everyone, the time left for the race is running out.
However, Li Heng was not in a hurry.
After the battle at Huaishui, he returned to the southeast courtyard of the Human Emperor's Palace, lived in seclusion, comprehended the "Human Emperor's Jade Book", enhanced the cultivation progress of the Human Emperor's Treasure Body, and practiced in an orderly manner going on.
Three months ago, Wu Zhiqi, who had lost most of his mana and had less than 7000 million years of mana left, came to Renhuang Palace.
After it bowed to King Dayu's shrine, it came to Li Heng again.
Ask Li Heng to take him in.
At this time, Wuzhiqi possessed spiritual wisdom. Although he was only at the level of a three- or four-year-old child, he was fundamentally different from the previous Primordial Demon God.
Therefore, Li Heng accepted it as a Dharma protector and a disciple.
At the same time, Li Heng also figured out the real situation of Wuzhiqi.
It turned out that the reason why King Dayu and other gods subdued Wuzhiqi instead of killing Wuzhiqi, but chose to suppress and imprison him, was because he discovered that this superficially fierce demon god was pure in nature.
It is only when the spirit is polluted that it appears insane and irrational.
It can be left to future generations and used by the human race.
The suppressive seal left by King Dayu is not only a blockade, but also an array to purify Wuzhiqi from the spiritual pollution.
After thousands of years of refinement and purification, Wu Zhiqi's mental state was about to return to normal, but the long-browed Arhat forcibly opened the suppression blockade in fear of leaving Sun Buddha's seal, causing the purification power to do its best.
Only then was the insane primordial demon god Wuzhiqi born.
When Li Heng fought against Wuzhiqi, he felt that his mental state was unstable.
Therefore, when the five virtues and five elements were smashed down, the power of the five virtues and five elements was involved, and the residual pollution in Wuzhiqi's spirit was forcibly washed away, allowing it to regain its sanity.
It was precisely because of this final forced refining that Wuzhiqi's mana was greatly damaged, leaving only less than 7000 million years of mana.
However, Wuzhiqi's background is still there, and it will definitely be much faster to recover.
In addition, Li Heng also learned a message from Wuzhiqi about the Lord of the Blood Sea Styx.
The power of the Lord of the Blood Sea Styx once again refreshed his understanding of great supernatural beings.
The source of the spiritual pollution Wuzhiqi suffered, the culprit who made this demon god with more than one billion years of mana lose his mind is the Lord of the Blood Sea Styx!
As a natural affinity with the Dao of Water, born with the power to master the laws of water, Wuzhiqi naturally began to peek at the source of the Dao after his mana broke through a billion years, trying to explore the source and essence of the Dao of Water.
But it was during this process that when it felt and explored the avenue of water, it saw a boundless sea of blood in the long river of water where countless laws of water converged.
Just by looking at it, Wuzhiqi completely lost his sanity, fell into a state of madness, and became a fierce god who only knew destruction and killing.
The blood sea in the long river must be connected with the Nether Blood Sea. Li Heng had expected that this great supernatural being should be an extremely powerful existence.
But a demon god with more than a billion years of mana fell into madness just by looking at the sea of blood, and completely lost his mind. It would take an existence like Dayu King to suppress it for thousands of years to purify it. The power of this pollution is too terrifying up.
This made Li Heng realize even more that his Taoism was still not strong enough, it was too weak.
If one day, the Lord of the Nether Blood Sea was born again, came to the human world, and came to the Tang Dynasty, with his current strength of Taoism, it is impossible for him to have the slightest ability to resist.
As a result, Li Heng practiced even harder, and even lived in the Nine Emperor Palace for a while, fighting against the projections of those ancient emperors almost crazily.
A large amount of combat experience has been obtained, as well as many magic weapons, supernatural powers, and martial arts that the Three Emperors and Five Emperors once possessed.
In just half a year, Li Heng's strength has been greatly improved.
However, he is very clear that relying on these gains alone is not enough if he wants to not lose face at the Yaochi Pantao Fair in more than four years, and to be able to face the wrath of Buddhism directly after the meeting.
Must become stronger!
Or make Tathagata Buddha fearful and dare not really attack him.
First of all, let's start with the small success of the human emperor's treasure body!
Li Heng set a goal for himself.
As long as the human emperor's body is small, his own safety will be protected by the luck of the entire dynasty and vassal states, and if he makes a move against him, he will suffer huge karmic backlash.
This also means that the stronger Datang is, the more burden Li Heng will bear, and the greater the karmic backlash he will suffer if he makes a move against him.
When this karma is large enough, it will make the Tathagata Buddha fearful.
Don't dare to shoot him.
……
In the southeast courtyard of Renhuang Palace.
While feeding Wuzhiqi, Li Heng pondered, secretly said: "Now the most likely to be effective is to let the emperor's body first form, which is much more realistic than the power of Taoism surpassing the Tathagata Buddha.
"This road can be divided into two lines. One is to make Datang continue to become stronger, so as to enhance the luck associated with me. This is what I have been doing all the time. The other is to let the emperor's body reach the level of Xiaocheng as soon as possible."
Although his Human Emperor Treasure Body had been completed a long time ago, it condensed the two brilliance of holiness and merit, and possessed the indelible characteristics under Da Luo, but it was still a relatively long distance from Xiaocheng.
Chucheng is condensed into two of the five virtues, and Xiaocheng is condensed into four of the five virtues.
The five virtues are holiness, merit, morality, merit, and yin.
Now that Li Heng has condensed the first two, he needs to choose two of the latter three to condense, so as to enhance the cultivation process of the human emperor's body.
It's just that compared to holiness and merit, the remaining three are too obscure, and he doesn't even have the idea of how to refine them, let alone try them.
Completely helpless.
