Chapter 258 - 247: Disciples from Three Religions Jointly Achieve Deification
As the Supreme Holy Mother descended from the Jade Purity Heaven, she made her way toward Kongtong Mountain in search of the Chan Taoist Sect Founder Guang Chengzi.
Guang Chengzi was an extraordinary figure. Lord of Primordial Beginning had created the Sky-Overturning Seal inspired by Mount Buzhou to bestow upon him. A single stamp on the crown of the head, even Sect Founders would be annihilated into dust, meeting an end as futile as drawing a cake on the ground. Guang Chengzi’s fame was built upon this Sky-Overturning Seal, which was nearly invincible during the battle of Investiture of the Gods, and there were hardly any foes he could not overcome. But in the end, he was no match for the Primordial Golden Dou, which stripped him of his Three Flowers and Five Qi. Now, he had once again cultivated back to the rank of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
The Supreme Holy Mother had come at the behest of the Tong Tian Sect Master, and she faintly sensed that this trip to seek out Guang Chengzi and meet with the Lord of Primordial Beginning might involve sealing gods at Mount Qi.
To seal gods was indeed a desirable task, as it could add much merit. Back in the days, Jiang Ziya performed the Investiture of the Gods, but due to insufficient cultivation level, he ended up like a drawn cake, wasting all his merit in vain.
Since both the Supreme Holy Mother and Guang Chengzi were at the realm of Primordial Golden Immortals, they naturally welcomed as much merit as possible. Perhaps this could elevate their cultivation to a level where they might touch upon the Heavenly Dao Laws — a state akin to Tathagata before he became the Victorious Fighting Buddha. One more step, and they could reach the pinnacle battle power of Sect Founders like those from the Nether River!
"Brother Guang Cheng, the Supreme Mother has come to visit under the decree of our teacher," called the Supreme Holy Mother softly at the entrance of the Kongtong Immortal Cave.
One voice carries for three friends, while the two teachings, Chan and Jie, divide.
As the eldest disciple of the Chan Taoists, Guang Chengzi was of the same rank as the Jie Taoist Tong Tian, and since they shared the same revered master, it was only natural for the Supreme Holy Mother to address Guang Chengzi as her elder brother. Many disciples of the Jie Taoists had perished at Guang Chengzi’s hands, but all past events had become like smoke in the wind, with no need for further disputes. The Supreme Holy Mother would not be petty over such issues, as those were merely times when each was serving their own master.
Hearing the voice of the Supreme Holy Mother, Guang Chengzi replied, "Sister Wudang, please come in."
The Supreme Holy Mother then entered Guang Chengzi’s Cave Abode, finding him sitting cross-legged on a mat.
Guang Chengzi said, "Sister Wudang, please sit. Let’s have a cup of tea before we talk."
