The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 191 The treasure is obtained by those who are destined to receive it
"These two powerful Buddhists..." Ji Xiaoshan asked curiously, "Which Buddha is the leader?"

Ji Xiaoshan knew that in Buddhism, the gods were called Arhats, the immortals were called Bodhisattvas, and only the powerful ones at the level of true gods and Taoist ancestors were called Buddhas.

“This is not the Buddha!” Daoist Master Qingxu smiled slightly, “This is Venerable Kasyapa, the great disciple of Tathagata who achieved enlightenment in the ancient Pangu world. Although he has the power of a true god, he never calls Buddha his ancestor, but only wishes to be his venerable.”

"Venerable Kasyapa..." Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved, "Then the one behind him..."

"That is the Subduing Tiger Arhat, who also achieved enlightenment in the ancient Pangu world. He is a top-notch celestial god, much more powerful than the average celestial gods and immortals, and even very close to the Taoist Ancestor. He is also an old rival of many of my Taoist disciples in ancient times!" The Immortal Duxu on the side sighed.

"Subduing the Tiger Arhat. Venerable Kashyapa." Ji Xiaoshan immediately had some understanding of the strength of the two.

……

"It's the Subduing Tiger Arhat! But the person next to him...why don't I recognize him?"

"You don't know him? That's Venerable Kasyapa!"

“Your Excellency? Isn’t that a powerful being at the level of a True God and Dao Ancestor?”

"Another powerful person at the level of a True God..."

"This time, there is no hope for my Hellfire Island..."

The gods and immortals who came to this void land secretly groaned in their hearts. Before, when the void vortex moved, even if there were disciples from the Buddhist and Taoist sects who came here, they were at most gods and immortals, and they still had a chance to compete with them fairly.

After all, treasures belong to those who are destined to obtain them.

But now...

When Taoist Ancestor Qingxu came just now, he was extremely low-key, but not as high-profile as Venerable Kashyapa and Subduing Tiger Arhat, so the gods and immortals had not noticed it yet.

But the memory of cultivators is so strong, and these gods and immortals are also powerful in the Three Realms. After a long time, they naturally noticed the extremely low-key Taoist Qingxu beside Ji Xiaoshan.

This notice made me feel disappointed.

And now even the Buddhist sect has sent out a True God and Taoist Ancestor. With these two True Gods and Taoist Ancestors to suppress them, even if these gods and immortals are all powerful ones famous in the three realms, they are no match for them.

"Daoyou Qingxu." Venerable Kasyapa walked over step by step, barefoot in the void. Suddenly, auspicious clouds and golden lotuses appeared in the void, and a lotus flower bloomed with every step.

Behind him, a tall bald monk followed closely, and as he walked, there were faint shadows of dragons and tigers following him.

“Fellow Daoist Kasyapa.” Daoist Patriarch Qingxu said with a smile, “The slight movement of this vortex in the void actually alarmed the Tathagata Buddha, and even asked Fellow Daoist Kasyapa to make this trip… It’s a bit of a fuss.”

"Mobilize a large army? Didn't you come here on the orders of the Taoist Ancestor? We are here only to watch this grand event, just to watch." Venerable Kashyapa smiled, but he emphasized the word "just to watch" very much.

"Of course. We'll just watch from the side." Daoist Ancestor Qingxu also smiled. "It's not just us. Now that undercurrents are surging, all major forces should focus on preserving their strength. Those gods and immortals are also the backbone of our Three Realms. Even if one of them dies here... it will be a huge loss for our Three Realms."

However, what Taoist Qingxu said was indeed true. There was already a tacit understanding among the Three Realms that powerful beings at the level of Taoist Zhenshen were forbidden to take action, especially in fights between powerful beings at the same level.

Not to mention the intuition of the True Gods and Taoist Ancestors that the catastrophe of the Three Realms was approaching, so they became even more cautious. After all, in such a situation, even if they were not careful, they could easily turn into a smudge of ash in the catastrophe.

"Fellow Daoist Qingxu is unwilling to suffer a loss..." Venerable Jiaye narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "Well! Then I will do as you wish."

If any of their True Gods and Taoist ancestors were here alone, they would not have made such an agreement. Even if a powerful person at the level of a True God and Taoist Ancestor did not allow them to take action, no one would care if they collected some ownerless treasures that floated into the Three Realms during the chaos.

After all, among the immortal cultivators, the strong are respected, and unless these gods and immortals unite together to perform a large formation, they can pose a threat to these Dao ancestors who are relatively powerful among the true gods and Taoist ancestors.

But in the current situation... this is the best way without taking any action.

Besides, they have to be on guard. If a strong man really comes in from the void through this vortex, they will have a chance to react.

Taoist Qingxu's gaze fell on the huge starlight stone that had almost completely emerged from the vortex of the void. It was over a million feet long and nearly a million feet wide.

He smiled slightly, "Then let's start with this starlight stone?"

"Good!" Venerable Kasyapa also looked at the huge star-lit boulder and nodded slightly.

Wow!
Taoist Qingxu nodded, and he just stood there, pointing from a distance.

Suddenly, the entire void began to twist, and a mysterious spatial fluctuation suddenly spread. The huge star stone that floated out from the vortex of the void was immediately cut into ten parts of different sizes by an invisible force.

Two of the Starlight Stones together directly occupied 90% of the entire Starlight Stone of millions of feet. The remaining 10% was divided into eight equal-sized pieces. The countless immortal cultivators in the void all stared blankly, watching the extremely dazzling and majestic gray-robed Taoist wave his sleeves to take the largest piece, and the other huge Starlight Stone of the same size was directly taken by the Venerable Kasyapa.

Taoism and Buddhism account for 90% of the total, and the rest belongs to various forces. The meaning of this action is already very obvious.

"Fortunately, the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect can check and balance each other. Even if they share 10%, the remaining starlight stone will be valuable."

"The remaining ten percent is several hundred thousand feet long and eighty to ninety thousand feet wide. Even if it is divided into eight parts... each part can be refined into several pure yang magic weapons..."

"The Taoist master Qingxu of this sect is a very particular person. He even left some treasures behind... But I don't know how to divide the remaining starlight stones. If there are more treasures later..."

The gods and immortals were thinking secretly but did not dare to say anything.

"Taoism and Buddhism occupy 90%? The remaining countless forces can only share 10%?" Ji Xiaoshan saw everything.

When Daoist Ancestor Qingxu was talking to Venerable Jiaye, he did not block the immortal cultivators around him. The two Daoist Ancestors of True Gods divided up the benefits in an instant and set the tone, or the rules, for the matter...

"Subduing Tiger Arhat, go and tell the gods and immortals what I and Taoist Qingxu have agreed on! Remember, each force here that possesses a god or immortal is only allowed to send out one person, and let the cultivators they choose fight against each other. The last eight people left will be the ones who are destined to receive this treasure!" Venerable Kasyapa said lightly.

"I follow the Venerable's orders!" Subduing Tiger Arhat responded immediately.

……

"Those of you who are gods or immortals among the various forces present here should listen carefully!" The Subduing Tiger Arhat stood in the void, releasing his majestic aura of a god without reservation.

"Hmm? It's the Subduing Tiger Arhat!"

"Is there any result?"

"This is...has the two True Gods and Taoist Ancestors already discussed it?"

"For countless years, whenever there is a benefit, it is always like this. A powerful person like Daozu would not take action easily! If they do take action, it will be us, the gods and immortals, who will fight for it. Even..."

The gods and immortals communicated secretly.

"Just now, our Buddhist Master Kasyapa has made a rule with Taoist Master Qingxu. You gods and immortals are strictly prohibited from fighting each other! And any force with gods and immortals present, if they want to compete for the treasures produced in this void vortex, can send out an immortal cultivator to fight in pairs. But the strength of the immortal cultivators sent out is only allowed to be below that of the gods and immortals!" The voice of the Subduing Tiger Arhat was like the sound of a tiger and leopard, echoing in the entire void.

All the gods and immortals as well as the cultivators under their command listened attentively.

“Only cultivators below the level of Heavenly Gods and True Immortals are allowed to take action? And only one person is allowed to take action?” The Heavenly God of Hellfire on Hellfire Island showed a hint of joy on his face. “I have spent tens of thousands of years collecting hundreds of precious materials just to refine a set of Pure Yang magic weapons suitable for me. One of the main materials is this Starlight Stone, but Starlight Stone is hard to find in the Three Realms. If I can get this one... I will have more than enough materials for my magic weapon.”

……

"Starlight Stone... Only the True God Daozu can go deep into the chaos and bring back this kind of material safely. Even if this is sold to other gods and immortals, it can be exchanged for a few Pure Yang magic weapons. This kind of wealth... let Banzhu take it! His strength is also top-notch among the immortals." A purple-robed immortal whispered.

He looked directly at the green-haired female fairy and said in a deep voice, "Bamboo Celestial Fairy, you have heard everything that the Subduing Tiger Arhat said this time. If there is a fight, and you get a piece of Starlight Stone for me, I will grant you a Pure Yang magic weapon... You must seize this opportunity!"

"Yes! Sect Master!" the Bamboo Fairy responded immediately.

……

"Are there any gods or immortals here? My ancestor couldn't come this time because he was unable to spare the time... Then wouldn't my Hundred Flowers Fairy Island have missed out on this opportunity?" A silver-haired old woman frowned slightly. She was only a celestial immortal, a top-notch celestial immortal who could barely rival the Pure Yang Immortal, so she was not counted among them.

"If the ancestor comes here, I will go to join the battle... This opportunity will definitely belong to my Hundred Flowers Fairy Island."

"What a pity!" The silver-haired old woman shook her head. Without strength, she naturally had no right to have a say.

……

Taoist Master Qingxu looked at the gods and immortals who were whispering instructions to their cultivators, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Fellow Daoist Jiaye, Buddhism is indeed Buddhism. This invisible method of dividing the forces of the cultivators... a soft knife can make people be eaten without knowing it!"

He had seen a lot of Buddhist methods, but every time he saw it he still felt fearful and did not allow the powerful people to take action. The invisible deterrence of such a powerful force as Buddhism made the power of such methods amplified countless times.

"Daoyou Qingxu, it's the same to you!" Venerable Kashyapa still had a smile on his face.
