Right at the height of the Golden Altar grand ceremony, when the din was at its peak.
Deep within Spirit Mountain, a swath of chaotic barrier that screened off all heavenly gazes quietly opened.
Inside the barrier, four transcendent figures stood in silence, their auras cleaving heaven and earth, suppressing a whole quadrant of time and space.
The two towering figures draped in the kasayas of ancient Buddhas of ten thousand tribulations, their bodies wreathed in undying Buddha‑light, were precisely the Fangri and Mao Ri Buddhas.
The other two figures, wrapped in watery stellar radiance, were the Profound Sect's Ji Shui Primordial Monarch and Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui.
The True Buddha of Destiny's gaze sank slightly; Buddha‑sound rolled vast as oceans as he spoke a reminder:
"Primordial Monarch, now that the great trend has taken shape, do not forget the bargain we struck."
