"I must find a way to enhance my strength!"
The sudden display of strength by figures such as Buddha terrified Jiang Chen, making him realize that his preparation wasn’t as adequate as he initially thought.
Perhaps, he won’t be able to resist Buddha and the others.
It was precisely this reason that Jiang Chen was so desperate to enhance his strength. Why resort to schemes and tricks? It was simply because he wasn’t strong enough.
If only his strength was enough, there would be no need for schemes and tricks, he could just force his way through. If people like Buddha didn’t submit, he would just have to beat them until they did.
In the end, strength was what mattered in the Prehistoric World.
As for how to enhance his strength, Jiang Chen already had a plan in mind. In the short term, his realm could not be elevated.
Hence, to enhance his strength, he could only tackle it from another angle - like the Great Wish Technique.
The experience he just had confirmed to Jiang Chen that fulfilling his great vows indeed increased the power of the Great Wish Technique, possibly even elevating it to a horrifying level.
If he could fulfill these vows, the resulting power of the Human Path could even suppress a Quasi-Saint.
Moreover, there was a speculation in Jiang Chen’s heart. If he could complete all forty-eight of the great vows, the feedback of the Human Path would grant him the power to rival a saint.
The Human Path was on par with the Heavenly Dao. A saint who mastered the Heavenly Dao would be invincible in the Prehistoric World. By the same token, a person who mastered the power of the Human Path would also be invincible in the Prehistoric World.
This would be the ultimate attainment of the Great Wish Technique; transforming the willpower of all beings into a power of the Human Path which would make one on par with the saints.
Perhaps the Great Wish Technique was Jiang Chen’s only chance to turn the tables when facing Buddha and others.
After leaving the Xiniuhe Continent, Jiang Chen would inherit the Yang God position and head to the Nanbuzhan Continent. There, he would fulfill his great vows and cultivate unmatched divine abilities.
Why the Nanbuzhan Continent? Because it’s where the orthodox humanity resides, where the fate of the human race converges, and it’s also the land cherished by the Human Path.
Only the achievements gained there would gain maximum recognition from the Human Path.
Jiang Chen snapped out of his reverie and looked at the Realm of Nothingness before him.
The Spiritual Mountain Buddhas had perished, Buddha and the others had also departed through Nirvana, and now, this Realm of Nothingness had completely fallen into his hands.
As such, the last resort left by Buddha and others was completely removed by him. Prior to the outbreak of the West Journey Crisis, there was no longer any threat from the Buddhists to him.
The Realm of Nothingness before Jiang Chen’s eyes was almost exactly like the Spiritual Mountain.
This was the achievement of Buddhism’s countless years of operation, transforming the Realm of Nothingness into another Spiritual Mountain, based on which, they planned to slowly devour the entire Realm of Nothingness.
Jiang Chen had seen through the plans of Buddha and others. They found it impossible to create a real Pure Land in the real world, so they planned to refine the Realm of Nothingness and turn it into the Pure Land.
Their intention was the same as Jiang Chen’s.
First, they would create a phantom world, and then gradually solidify it to form a real world.
Unfortunately, Buddha and others’ research on the willpower of all beings was too shallow, far inferior to Jiang Chen’s. Even though they cultivated in the Realm of Nothingness for many years, they only managed to open up a Spiritual Mountain, and didn’t conquer the entire Realm of Nothingness.
Now, they’d lost even their lone Spiritual Mountain, becoming Jiang Chen’s trophy.
Of course, Jiang Chen would not create a Pure Land for them. Honestly speaking, he didn’t believe that there existed a truly blissful place in this world.
The so-called Pure Land was just a world in the Buddhists’ dream, and it would never become a reality.
Rather than letting the Buddhists build an impossible world in the Realm of Nothingness, Jiang Chen might as well use it to rebuild the Chaos World.
After taking a deep look at the Spiritual Mountain once again, Jiang Chen shouted coldly, "Shatter!"
Then, an invisible force surged from his body, rolling towards the Spiritual Mountain.
The void trembled, countless cracks emerged from the surface of the Spiritual Mountain, then, with a loud rumble, the massive mountain collapsed and shattered into countless fragments.
The next moment, the bell rang and the fragments quietly disintegrated, turning into strands of thoughts floating in the void.
"Sumeru Mountain, reveal yourself!"
At this moment, Jiang Chen made his move.
The brilliant light of human path flickered from him. The thoughts floating in the void seemed to be summoned and flew towards him.
Releasing his divine mind, Jiang Chen actively merged with these thoughts, trying to explore their original vow, extracting all the parts related to Sumeru Mountain, and condensing them in front of him to slowly form the phantom of a giant mountain.
This mountain was composed of four treasures: the North side was gold, the East was silver, the South was Liuli, and the West was pear. The color of the void around the mountain was also reflected by these treasures.
This was the ancient Sumeru Mountain, the center of the land to the West, where the ancestral vein was located.
If one wished to reshape the Chaos World, the Western Sumeru Mountain was of utmost importance.
In that distant era, although there were endless sacred mountains on the Chaos World, among the most important Great Ancient Sacred Mountains, there were only three - Mount Buzhou, Kunlun Mountain, and Sumeru Mountain.
Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven in the Chaos World, was of self-evident importance.
Kunlun Mountain, it’s the ancestral vein of the East, the source of all spiritual veins in the East.
Sumeru Mountain, it is a Supreme Sacred Mountain corresponding to Kunlun Mountain, the ancestral vein of the West, and the source of all spiritual veins in the West.
