Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 168

"[One World Nirvana Plan]? What’s that?" asked Feng Heng.

"Just like the name implies, it was a plan that allowed all the Buddhist cultivators to all reach Nirvana by combining all their consciousness together, thus reaching a realm One-Self, One-Being, or One-World."

"That sounds like a brilliant plan, so why did it cause the destruction of Buddhism?"

"It was indeed a brilliant plan, and one that had a high chance of success too. However, there were three major problems: one of was the energy needed to sustain such a powerful consciousness, second was a leader to bear such tremendous amounts of power, and lastly was whether Heavenly Dao would allow such a thing to happen."

"The problem of leader could be solved as long as a powerful Great Emperor was born in the Buddhist Sect. As for the other two problems, well they both had the same solution: Incense Power."

"As long as the Incense Power was enough, the energy required for this plan to succeed was more than enough. As for Heavenly Dao, the Buddhist believed that as long as reaching Nirvana was the belief or desire of all living beings, Heavenly Dao would not interfere."

"All living beings? You don’t mean..." asked Feng Heng.

"Yes. The plan of the Buddhist Sect was to conquer the entire Myriad Plane World, then gather Faith from the entire world."

Feng Heng looked at his teacher with his mouth open, becoming speechless. The entire Myriad Emperor World is vast and very powerful, beside the Human Emperor, the world was only conquered once again in the Devil Era.

Shi Fuyu could guess what his disciple was thinking, "Yes, the Buddhist Sect wanted to conquer the entire world, just the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty.

After calming himself down, he said, "I’m guessing that they did not succeed."

"Even worse, they did not even begin their plan before they were destroyed."

"How come?"

"The Buddhist Sect knew that the cultivators of the world would never allow someone else to conquer the world like the Human Emperor, so this plan was kept the highest level of secret. They planned to only execute the plan after they cultivate a powerful Great Emperor. Unfortunately, the plan was leaked."

"Leaked? How?" asked Feng Heng.

"Well, this is where your ancestor came into this story."

Shi Fuyu paused for a few seconds before continuing:

"In the Ancient Emperor Era, both Taoism and Buddhist were actually competitor and fought for the title of the Orthodox religion of the Myriad Emperor World."

"During that time, the Five Element Palace was the leader of Taoism, while the Taiyi Profound Gate was probably not even created yet. However, after the Incense Era, Taosim was completely suppressed by Buddhism to the point that the Five Element Palace was forced to close their mountains for generations, only coming out when they decided to fight for the Heaven Will Battle."

"As such, the Taiyi Profound strived during the Incense Era with the absence of the Five Element Palace. However, they were only considered an Immortal Land, not an Emperor Lineage as they did not cultivate a Great Emperor of their own."

"Immortal Land?" interrupted Feng Heng

"Just know that they are more powerful than Supreme Land, but way weaker than Emperor Lineages. You will get access to this information when you become more powerful later in the future," replied Shi Fuyu, so he just nodded.

"Your ancestor actually got the news about the [One World Nirvana Plan] from the Heaven Race."

"How would the Heaven Race get access to such a powerful secret? Let alone leak it?"

Shi Fuyu sighed before continuing: "The plan actually needed a tremendous amount of Faith, and as the Heaven Race was born out of Incense and Faith, they were the perfect people to use as a catalyst to execute it. Furthermore, the Buddhist Sect wanted allies before executing the plan."

"With this plan, the Heaven Race would have access to a tremendous amount of Incense Power, as such they could deal with the problem of the low population of their race. So, they were the perfect partner."

"As for your ancestor, no one knew his exact connection with the Heaven Race, however, after finding out about the plan, he secretly rallied all the cultivators of the world against Buddhism."

After a brief pause, Shi Fuyu continued, "Your ancestor was a heaven defying genius with a deep and scheming mind. He was very low-key during his rise and his reputation was not very loud."

"Everyone knew that he was powerful, but no one knew how powerful until the Heaven Will Battle."

"In that Battle, the Buddhist Sect had pooled together all their resources to cultivate a terrifying genius. Using all the Incense Power of the entire Sect--which by that time had spread through thousands upon thousand of Worlds--they created a Buddha Golden Body."

"I remember that day when the Golden Body was completed. Buddha Lights enveloped all the continents of the Myriad Emperor World along with multi-colored lotus. The chant of countless people in myriad worlds chanting reverberated throughout the entire World Community we are located in. It was truly a majestic sight."

"Unfortunately, it was useless," said Shi Fuyu with a sigh.
