Peerless Taoist

This was the deterrence of strength. If it was someone else, it would have been chaotic already.    

However, the person who had said this wasn't someone else, but Heavenly Emperor Ling Long. This caused those who had rushed over to Chang'an City to feel resentful, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.    

Great Ming Palace, Purple Mansion Hall.    

This was the place where all the officials in the Tang Dynasty had an audience with the emperor in the past.    

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon throne and his words and actions were like words from the heavens, transmitted to every corner of the Heaven Realm through the hundreds of officials.    

It was a golden age. No matter what kind of tyrannical existence it was, they would eventually submit to the rule of the Tang Dynasty without any thoughts.    

Here, many things were preserved very well.    

It was not only because the things here were expensive, but also because this was the inner palace, the core existence of the entire Great Ming Palace.    

Beneath this palace foundation, there was also a massive array formation hidden. The power of the spirit patterns circulated at all times, making the entire Purple Mansion Hall in a protected state, resisting the erosion of the outside world's years at all times.    

At this moment, the Linglong Heavenly Emperor, Shen Linglong, was sitting on the dragon throne that the Great Tang's Son of Heaven had once sat on. After silently feeling it for a while, she said indifferently, "In the past, Chang'an was prosperous and magnificent. I never imagined that there would be a day where it would fall."    

Shen Linglong was also wearing a crimson dragon robe, which made her stand out in the palace.    

The dragon robe had a red edge and a black bottom. There were golden lines and dragon patterns embroidered on the edges. Each line was woven from the silk that the Dragon Silkworm spat out. After that, the Craftsman Department and the Ministry of Works worked together to form a peerless treasure.    

The crimson dragon robe also contained a dragon soul, which was a top Emperor Weapon. Even if a mortal with no magic power wore it, they would have the bearing of a ruler looking down on the world and all living beings.    

Shen Linglong let out a long sigh and stood up from the dragon throne. She murmured, "Forget it, everything is fake. So what if it was once extremely powerful? In the end, it still turned into a wisp of green smoke. Other than that, there's nothing else."    

This dragon throne, in the end, did not belong to her.    

Beside him, Xu Guizong had been standing with his eyes closed. A huge light wheel had appeared behind his back.    

A melodious Buddhist chant was released from Xu Guizong's body.    

This was an illusion that would only appear when one had obtained a certain amount of merit from chanting Buddhist scriptures in their hearts over the years.    

When those Bodhisattva and Arhats appeared, there would also be such an anomaly.    

However, the difference was that the Buddhist scriptures of the Buddhist experts were often performed by the believers. But Xu Gui walked a different path. He believed in Buddhism and learned Buddhism, but he worshiped himself.    

He was Buddha, and Buddha was him.    

Therefore, the power of faith generated from every scripture Xu Guizong recited would fall on him without reservation.    

If this power of faith had occupied the land for a long time, Xu Guizong would truly become Buddha.    

Hearing Shen Linglong's words, Xu Guizong slowly opened his eyes.    

His eyes flashed with a golden light, as if there was endless wisdom hidden within them, making it hard for people to move their eyes away.    

"The emperor of the ancient Tang Dynasty was only strong for a short period of time. They are outstanding people, and with the blessing of the destiny of the Heavenly Dynasty... They obtained strength beyond the imagination of ordinary people. However, before they were born, they and the ants on the ground... There was not much difference. When the time came, their lives would be gone. It will no longer exist." Xu Guizong said calmly.
