Born with immortal seed

Chapter 924 Demon Buddha
"Who is such a person?"

The young man in purple appeared calm, but his heart was far from at peace; he had simply suppressed his emotions.

The Dragon Realm holds a great secret, which is already widely known.

But to say that there is a second unknown figure like the Heartless Sword Immortal in the cultivation world is quite astonishing.

Even more remarkably, its activity lasted until 10,000 years ago.

How could such a powerful being remain in the lower realm and waste such a promising future?

Unless it's a special case like the old lion, where his strength actually increased significantly in the lower realm, he wouldn't be trapped in the cultivation world.

“There is a force in the cultivation world that rose suddenly, but it is extremely closed off and has no contact with the mainstream sects... Even in the most critical moments, the grandmasters never thought of asking them for help.”

The propagation of the Dharma was profound and secretive, passed down orally within the Daode Sect and never recorded in writing.

Moreover, it doesn't limit you to any particular lineage; it will only inform the strongest person within the sect.

Gong Shu only passed the secret to Hongfa before going to the final battle. Before that, he was the only one in the entire Daode Sect who knew it, because he was afraid that if too many people knew it, it would attract the attention of this powerful figure from the upper realm.

The young man in purple lined up the various factions one by one, and a target began to emerge in his mind.

To be praised in this way by the Dharma, one must first and foremost require that this force become a mainstay in the great war between the human and demon races.

This effectively excluded 99% of the forces.

"Is it the Kasyapa sect?"

He guessed as he spoke.

Aside from Bai Zichen, who is an anomaly, only those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage can play a crucial role in the great war between the two races.

At that time, the only sect with a visible deity in charge, but with relatively little effort invested, was the Kasyapa school, led by the Buddha Ratnavali.

There are at least six or seven great Arhats in the Wish-Fulfilling Buddha Land. Even if the Buddha of the Precious Wheel cannot leave the Buddha Land, there shouldn't be such a shortage of personnel that only the Arhat of the Green Lamp is present.

Looking back now, it does seem rather eerie.

“That’s right. Our sect’s founder suspected that the person was hiding in the Kasyapa Sect. Several things involved Buddhist monks, but we couldn’t find any evidence against them… However, the most outstanding peak master in the history of Wubu Peak accidentally entered a secret realm while searching for a piece of dragon bone and bumped into a mysterious Buddhist monk.”

This secret should have been kept sealed forever before being passed on to the next leader, but Hongfa felt that his life was nearing its end and that the successor would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

If we can take advantage of the opportunity of the Sword Lord of Time descending to the mortal realm to eradicate this hidden danger, it will be a great matter to be settled, and it may even save the entire cultivation world.

The Moral Sect is involved in every mission to save the world; it's exhausting.

"The opponent possessed Buddhist power, but his supernatural abilities were sinister and unpredictable, bewitching people and leading them astray. They were even more demonic than demonic techniques... That patriarch was only a hundred years old, but he had cultivated witchcraft to an unprecedented level. At the critical moment of life and death, he used his life as a catalyst to curse and kill the opponent. His last wisp of soul rushed back to the sect, left his last words, and then his soul was scattered."

"According to him, the man was dressed in coarse cloth robes, dull and listless, and was dressed as a novice monk of the Kasyapa sect. The Buddhist teachings he practiced were extremely evil and superstitious. The disciples of Wubu Peak are weak and short-lived, but no one can deny the speed of mastery and destructive power of ancient witchcraft. This senior's desperate attack was enough to threaten a Nascent Soul cultivator, but the opponent only broke through the skin."

"From then on, the successive patriarchs who knew the inside story became more wary of the Kasyapa Sect and dared not get too close to it... The patriarch gave that person a title, calling him the Demon Buddha."

"Demon Buddha? Isn't that what the Kasyapa Sect calls those who have gone astray and deviated from the orthodox path?"

The young man in purple immediately recalled the Arhat with the green lamp who had opposed him years ago out of jealousy and greed.

Despite the unintentional malicious intent involved, the flaws in the Jiaye Sect's techniques were still exposed.

"It's not the same thing. Master Gong used it to describe the mysterious Buddhist cultivator... But it's hard to say whether he was behind the split of the Jiaye Sect."

For cultivators at the level of Wuxin Sword Immortal and Demon Buddha, the Heaven-Opening Spiritual Treasure is not worth the great risk of descending there.

The patriarchs of both the Hongfa and Daode schools of Buddhism recognized that the two men shared the same goal in descending to the mortal realm and thus studied them together.

"The Demon Buddha last appeared after the Taibai Sword Lord ascended to immortality. He hid in the shadows and organized an attack on the Taibai Sword Sect. The Sword Lord can follow this path to find him."

"In addition, with the deepening of the exploration of the outer seas in recent years, many traces of Buddhist practitioners have been discovered in the outer seas, which are suspected to be the lineage that left the Jiaye Sect."

"These people have seduced a large number of overseas Chinese, and even enslaved demons, leading a life of luxury and pleasure. Their behavior is completely different from that of traditional Buddhism."

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I understand now."

The purple-clad youth nodded slightly. If they couldn't find a breakthrough with the Heartless Sword Immortal, perhaps they could find something unexpected by changing their target.

Wuxin is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor undergoing tribulation. It is unknown which powerful figure is instigating the Demon Buddha. He cannot be an ordinary cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

As for strength, the powerful figure behind the Demon Buddha may be stronger than Bai Zichen in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but in the Hidden Dragon Realm, it's a different story.

With the Purple Mansion Incarnation and the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, such a combination makes it unimaginable who could stand against the Hidden Dragon Realm, which is suppressed by the power of the interface.

"There is another matter. Recently, rumors have been circulating that someone has emerged from Yanzhou, and your sect seems quite interested... According to the intelligence I have received, this matter is highly likely to be a trap, and some force is setting up a scheme to lure people into a snare."

Before leaving, the Dharma propagator also gave him a message.

"However, with the arrival of the Sword Lord, all the conspiracies and tricks will be in vain, and many people will be disappointed again."

"After I finish my business in this world, I will stay at Rotten Axe Mountain for a hundred days to preach and discuss the Dao... Fellow Daoists, if you have time, you are welcome to come and listen."

The young man in purple hesitated for a moment before smiling and speaking.

"Thank you, Sword Lord. I will definitely be there to hear your holy words."

Hongfa's body trembled, his expression complex.

In his eyes, this was Bai Zichen's way of repaying him.

The teachings of a Void Refinement cultivator, especially one who is a native cultivator who ascended from the Hidden Dragon Realm, are of immeasurable value.

Every cultivator aspiring to ascension is willing to exchange everything for such an opportunity.

Unfortunately, this opportunity came a little too late for the propagation of the Dharma.

Even if one can gain sudden enlightenment while listening to lectures and break through the barriers, the remaining lifespan will not be enough to support cultivation to the point of perfect Nascent Soul.

However, if one hears the Way in the morning, one may die content in the evening. To be able to take another step on the Great Way before one's lifespan ends is also a great joy.

Furthermore, bringing these insights back to the sect will benefit future generations.

"It's only been a few years since I left, and people have already started plotting against the Qingfeng Sect. The unparalleled merits of slaying demons and restoring the land, opening the sea and destroying monsters, can't protect us for more than a few generations... I hope my descendants will be more capable. If they can't even overcome this little obstacle, they should just abandon all the blessed lands and return to the Northern Region to live in seclusion."

A dangerous glint flashed in the purple-clad youth's eyes. He vanished in a flash, returning to the Black Mountain in the Northern Region.

It was here that he obtained the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box, the Purple Star Thunder Sword, and the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, which gave him the foundation to protect himself and deal with all kinds of calamities on his path of cultivation.

"It's a pity that Xiao Zi's important memories in the lower realm have been erased, otherwise we could just ask it and know what Wu Xin did in private."

The divine sense swept across like a storm, and the Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon pierced straight into the earth's core. Apart from a few spatial rifts that had not yet closed, nothing was left here.

The dazzling light spun around, and when it reappeared, it was already above Beiyuan Sword City.

The Heavenly River Sword Sect was destroyed by the ancient demon Asura, with only a few disciples escaping with their lives.

Only after Bai Zichen slew the ancient demon, returned the spiritual vein to the Sword Sect disciples, and donated a large sum of Time Coins did he rebuild the sect.

It seems to have developed well over the years, and has already taken shape; there is an aura of Nascent Soul in the mountains.

Meanwhile, the Faxiang School and the Wusheng School of the same period disappeared in the vast tide, scattered by the wind.

Contesting temporary strength or weakness is meaningless to a sect.

The Sword Tomb Secret Realm of the Tianhe Sword Sect is far inferior in comparison, with only two fourth-order flying swords guarding it, and it is now also empty and barren.

Following the address given by the Daode Sect, they headed to the next location, only to find themselves in a deep pit that led directly to the Earth's core.

The lung toxins were faintly visible bubbling, rising one by one and crowding into a circle.

If someone wants to take revenge on the world, they could dive into a deep pit and risk their life to detonate it. A fire dragon would soar into the sky, billowing poisonous smoke, turning at least a radius of ten thousand miles into a dead zone.

Even more serious is the sinking of the northern region.

"Eagle Beak Cliff... This matter needs to be resolved, otherwise it will become a time bomb and cause serious problems sooner or later."

The purple-clad youth waved his hand, scattering a stream of true energy that split into a spiderweb-like network, isolating the flow of energy between the upper and lower parts of the body.

The last sword tomb is actually located beneath Zengguang Immortal City.

Once the celestial city was built, no one could access the secret realm, and it has existed to this day.

He unleashed a flash of sword light, which shifted and changed shape countless times, forcefully tearing open a gash.

The secret realm was rich in spiritual energy, and within a small area, countless spiritual flowers bloomed, only to vanish in an instant.

"A fifth-grade top-quality spiritual land, though small, is enough for one person to cultivate spiritual energy... It seems that in case future generations did not have a suitable blessed land, Wu Xin specially extracted it from a fifth-grade top-quality spiritual vein and constructed this secret realm to facilitate the successor's cultivation."

After confirming that the spirit-removing area in the secret realm was worthless, the young man in purple sighed in disappointment.

A fifth-tier spiritual land is a prerequisite for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and there are very few blessed lands in the entire cultivation world that can meet this requirement.

In the future, the Qingfeng Sect may consider using this place as a secluded cultivation location for Nascent Soul seedlings, where they will not be disturbed by others and will find it extremely secluded.

They can also hide one of their most prized disciples, preventing the outside world from knowing his cultivation progress.

"Let's go to the outer sea first, then go back to Rotten Axe Mountain..."

The purple-clad youth closed the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, which, without external stimulation, could last for at least another thousand years.

Having made up their minds, they headed straight for the Black Sea, which they had fought for many years.

……

The summit of Tianjian Mountain.

The two sat facing each other, so silent that even the starlight dared not fall, only circling around.

"Senior, I have told you everything I saw. It's your turn to come up with a plan: how to destroy the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree?"

Bai Zichen broke the deadlock by throwing the question to the other side.

"The Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree has far-reaching implications, so there is no reason to worry that the Dao Court will become alert if we take action."

Tian Jianzi saw the cold smile on Bai Zichen's lips and knew he couldn't fool him.

"Fine, I'll send a message to Old Ghost Wu of the Underworld and ask him to take action... The Underworld has always disliked longevity-enhancing spiritual objects and elixirs, feeling that they infringe upon its rights. Moreover, it has never given face to the Daoist Court, so it's understandable from all sides that Old Ghost Wu is the one to destroy the Five Virtues Longevity Peach Tree."

"Even at this point, you're still fantasizing about justifying your actions, thinking you can disappear from His sight... Abandon your illusions and prepare for battle."

Bai Zichen shook his head inwardly. Deciding to take action but still having to consider the other party's reaction was a bit too much of a hesitation.
