System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

Three months is enough time to change so many things.

Yuanshi, this once pure land where the Buddha's light shone brightly and the sound of chanting filled the air.

It has now been completely reduced to a gray, dead zone.

The sky was a chilling gray-white, like the whites of a dead person's eyes—stretching to the horizon.

The grass and trees on the ground no longer withered, but instead grew exceptionally lush.

Each one was twisted beyond recognition, its branches and leaves covered with countless tiny eyes that seemed to gaze at everything in the world with a faint, indistinct gaze.

What's truly chilling is that those eyes can move.

They rotate slowly in response to fluctuations in external spiritual energy, as if observing or contemplating.

The river flowed gurgling through the sky with an eerie sound, as if a life was whispering within it.

But the "crunching" sound makes your teeth ache.

That day.

When Chen Wen tried to persuade Zhenliu to leave.

While all the True Lords were eagerly waiting for the next Yuan Shi Bodhisattva to give in, they were ready to pounce.

While the two sect leaders and the Red Buddha sat high in the void, waiting for the ancient Buddha who had never been reincarnated to appear.

Sudden.

A monk suddenly emerged from the top of an eighty-one-story Buddhist pagoda at the heart of the Yuan Dynasty Buddhist temple.

His face was aged, his beard and eyebrows were white and fluttering in the wind. He wore a gray monk's robe, his hands were clasped together, and he was gazing into the distance with a look full of vicissitudes.

The moment it appeared, the entire area around Yuan Shi froze for a split second.

Immediately afterwards, trees, flowers, birds, beasts, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, houses, and buildings... all living things seemed to emerge with their eyes, all looking at the old monk.

Then the entire Yuan Shi seemed to come alive, and they all rushed towards the old monk as if on a pilgrimage, impatient and extremely fervent.

It wasn't out of devout worship, but rather... a desire for assimilation!

The old monk withdrew his gaze, and his body radiated a Buddha light that seemed to penetrate through eternity.

The Buddha's light was pure and immaculate, untouched by dust. Even this strange principle seemed to encounter its natural enemy for the first time.

Those eerie creatures, like shadows that cannot bear the light, all retreated and dissolved.

There were just too many of those bizarre creatures, swarming everywhere, endless, densely packed, blotting out the sun...

When there is too much darkness, light appears exceptionally small and conspicuous...

Without exception, everyone around this place had one name in their minds—Wu Gou!

Chen Wen was jolted awake, his eyes stinging, as if he had seen a glimmer of light.

There was nothing else besides that. The word "pure" was deeply imprinted in my heart, yet it was rapidly fading away.

It's as if leaving a name in this world is also a stain...

He was a fake who was transformed into a real one. Only when Heaven recognized him could he be considered an ancient Buddha. He was called a false Buddha by the Fire Fusion Sect Master.

Yet, even though it is not an ancient Buddha now, it still possesses such miraculous powers.

What kind of demeanor must the true ancient Buddha and Supreme Master possess?

Chen Wen couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

At this time.

Its radiance was gradually submerged by the almost endless array of bizarre creatures.

Chen Wen's gaze sharpened. Even the ancient Buddha couldn't do that...

A few more sighs of regret echoed through the world.

However, the sigh was abruptly cut short.

A pure, flawless, and untainted golden light of Buddha pierced through layers of dark and eerie darkness, tearing apart the distorted rules of the sky, and slowly rose from the core of Yuan Shi.

The Buddha's light spread across the heavens and earth, gentle yet resolute.

The Immaculate Ancient Buddha stood in the center of Purgatory, gazing at the various Heavenly True Lords at the border, each with their own calculations, without any reaction.

But when he looked down at the devastated, lifeless, and utterly distorted Yuan Shi land, he sighed softly.

"The world is in ruins, and the Buddha's land is shrouded in dust. My body may perish, but the world must not be completely destroyed. I only wish that after my passing, my relics will remain here to ward off evil spirits..."

Before he finished speaking, he sighed twice;

"Forget it, what can I do about what happens after I'm gone..."

"Do good deeds and don't worry about the future."

"Buddha, Tathagata, Buddha, Buddha of Compassion, Namo Amitabha Buddha~~~"

The words fell.

The incomplete body of an ancient Buddha or Taoist.

The pure Buddha light, accumulated over countless millennia, was blessed by the broken Heavenly Dao.

In that instant, it transformed into a Buddha fruit.

Yet it dissolves completely.

They all radiate pure, flawless light!

He abandoned all attachments to the path of enlightenment, relinquished his lifelong cultivation, and merged himself with the world, using the Buddha to suppress calamities!

Boom—

Endless golden Buddhist light suddenly spread out, completely enveloping the entire Yuan Shi Purgatory.

Those bizarre and distorted principles that devour everything and twist the law.

Bathed in the Buddha's light, everything rapidly solidifies, dissolves, and is purified...

For the first time, the world-ending calamity that raged for three months was truly suppressed!

The rules of heaven and earth briefly returned to order, decaying mountains and rivers regained their vitality, and disordered laws and principles were slightly restored.

No one spoke in the world; for a moment, there was silence.

No one could have imagined that an ancient Buddha who had lived for countless years could actually achieve what his name implied—immaculate!

They gave up everything.

Once it's gone, it's clean.

Come clean and leave clean!

The Azure Nether Sect Master lowered his eyes and sighed softly:

"Unfortunately, the Immaculate Ancient Buddha's path was incomplete and he was not aided by Heaven. He tried to suppress the world with his own body, but in the end, he was not strong enough."

"Of the fifty cycles of the Heavenly Cycle, one escapes, leaving even evil spirits a glimmer of hope!"

The Fire Fusion Sect Master held a ball of dark flame in his hand, playing with it while muttering to himself.

The Buddhist disciple merely bowed slightly and said calmly:

"Amitabha Buddha, I pay my respects to the Buddha~"

All three of them could see it;

His realm is fixed between the Golden Elixir True Monarch and the Supreme Ancient Buddha.

Neither holy nor false, neither real nor fake, transcending the constraints of ordinary true lords, yet not worthy of the position of ancient Buddha.

Its name is Wugou (meaning "immaculate"), and its Buddha-light is immaculate, untouched by any dust, not even by evil spirits.

However, it is not an ancient Buddha. Although it exerts a suppressive force, it is extremely short-lived and can only temporarily alleviate the disaster, but cannot eradicate the abnormality.

Sure enough, a moment later, the Buddha's light slowly dimmed and dissipated.

The immaculate ancient Buddha's majestic body shattered inch by inch under the backlash of the dark and turbid world, transforming into thousands of crystalline relics that scattered throughout the primordial world.

The ancient Buddha has passed away peacefully!

Even the relics that remained did not return to heaven and earth, but stayed in this world, continuing to bring a ray of light to a world corrupted by strange doctrines...

But things did indeed unfold as He had predicted.

The peace he risked his life for did not earn him the pity or awe of the cultivators of the heavens.

On the contrary, one sees ancient Buddha relics floating in the sky, surrounded by pure Buddhist aura and immaculate Buddhist light.

The True Lords, high above the heavens, instantly felt a surge of greed in their eyes, far more terrifying than any gluttonous beast...

Even if the path of the ancient Buddha's relics is incomplete or not yet perfect, they are still supreme treasures containing the power of the Buddha throughout the ages, capable of suppressing all evil, repairing the foundation of one's path, and enriching the true essence of a lord!

If this relic remains within Yuan Shi, it will only be eroded and polluted by this evil spirit, eventually returning to dust and ashes.

Rather than let it go to waste, I'd rather keep it!

All the True Lords and Chen Wen had this thought at the same time.

next moment!

Zhenliu narrowed her eyes, opened her arms, and blocked his way, her tone full of warning and threat, with a hint of anger.

"What do you want to do!"

"think."

Chen Wen's gaze swept past the other person, fixed on a relic a hundred miles ahead.

From the moment the relic appeared, he could no longer contain himself and unconsciously took several steps.

"Vulgar! Obscene! Shameful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhenliu's expression changed drastically, and she pointed at Chen Wen, her finger trembling with anger.

"How have I taught you all these years? How dare you betray your master and utter such rebellious words..."

"Hiss—go somewhere cool and stay there!"

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Wen impatiently interrupted her, then pushed her head aside and anxiously looked at the relic in front of him.

Just now, the relic dimmed slightly, clearly indicating that it was being severely damaged inside.

That won't do!

That's mine!

As for Zhenliu?

Chen Wen glanced at her and scoffed disdainfully:

"Ha, they're really going all out!"

Then, without hesitation, he rushed into Yuan Shi...

Zhenliu stood there stunned for a long time before she realized that he had pushed her away.

Was he just talking about himself?

What does "below" mean?

Am I ugly?

Is it not even as good as a relic?

For a moment, she was in a state of confusion, and even began to doubt her own appearance.

Completely unaware, it seems that the fact that someone has stormed into Yuan Shi is now more important than all of this!

However, this moment is even more important.

Chen Wen's actions were like opening Pandora's box.

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, the Xuanmen disciples, who were already itching to make a move, followed suit and began to enter Yuanshi to seize the relic.

As for the Azure Nether Sect, they had already begun various attempts even before the relic landed—sending personnel, retrieving magical artifacts, and using magic to capture...

Not to be outdone, Chi Shi, confident that he could return to the Nine Heavens, led his followers in a line, bundled together, toward Yuan Shi.

Like ants huddling together to escape a fire, the outermost layer is cannon fodder; after they succumb and die, the second, third, and fourth layers are revealed...

Until the very last floor!

This method allowed them to obtain a considerable number of relics.

The True Lords did not stop it; instead, they tacitly allowed it to continue.

Although it is more efficient for them to do it themselves.

However, with so many True Lords present, a fight would inevitably cause enormous destruction. It would be better to leave the task to the younger generation and then distribute the spoils later.

At this moment, Chen Wen had already arrived in front of the first relic, reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

Feeling the immense, pure Buddhist light within, he felt the pressure of the surrounding erosion suddenly ease.

The evil spirits here, having been purified by the Immaculate Ancient Buddha, were already severely weakened, and their corrosive power was greatly reduced.

Now Chen Wen has obtained another relic.

The Buddha's light emanating from the relic blocked 80% of the erosion.

He originally planned to stop after getting one.

But now... I'll greedily take one more!

He suddenly lunged towards one of the deeper ones.

However, just as they were about to capture him, a hand suddenly appeared.

Looking up, I saw it was Chang Yan.

His face wore a smile, but his eyes were hard:

"Junior brother, I'm sorry, this relic is mine now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a massive beam of moonlight descended from the sky, its serene and tranquil nature replaced by a murderous intent!

[The Taiyin Half-Circle Pivot Sword]!

The illusory moon split its blade, arriving in the blink of an eye with miraculous speed.

"Chang Fan, we're from the same sect! Are you out of your mind?!"

Caught off guard, Chang Yan took the sword strike head-on, and his physical body was instantly split in two. The Taiyin sword energy enveloped his physical body and quickly dissolved it.

He shouted, and a large number of Dao patterns appeared around his body. In an instant, Chen Wen's divine sword energy disappeared and he returned to normal.

However, when he wanted to teach this arrogant brat a lesson, he found that the place was empty, and even the relic had disappeared.

He hurriedly activated his supernatural powers to search, but found nothing; there wasn't even a trace of life left in the place!

Chen Wen had already taken the relic and fled, searching for the next one.

Now is the time to reap the rewards, with relics appearing every minute. Saying anything more would be a waste of time.

As for the charge of attacking a fellow disciple, let's talk about that after this matter is over!

My contribution is significant enough that even if I suffer a small loss, it won't be a big deal.

Moreover, is this matter even going to end? Does the sect still have the energy to deal with those other matters?

There is still no conclusion...

The entire Yuanshi was engulfed in revelry.

A single relic is priceless!

But here, it is available to almost everyone.

Chen Wen found five in just three days.

However, these were all found in the last two days. If we want to get more, we'll probably have to risk entering the core area.

In this regard.

Chen Wen himself was very tempted.

However, Chang Fan, who was in a deep sleep, was even more excited than him, to the point that his body disobeyed him and actively wanted to move closer to the core area.

He was no longer interested!

Are you kidding me!

This is probably a trap set by some evil spirit!

Chen Wen decisively abandoned his plan to continue the search and quickly returned the way he came.

Be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy!

He was the first to rush out and take the sari, and also the first to restrain his desires and leave decisively.

His actions were undoubtedly foolish in the eyes of others.

Such a great opportunity, and you actually let it slip away!

If we don't find more and hand over our share to the sect, how many will we have left for ourselves?

As the crowd discussed the matter, they fought amongst themselves, and the three sects even began to cross boundaries and engage in combat.

The fighting grew increasingly frenzied, and gradually, real people began to fall...

Even the True Lords in the sky couldn't help but rub their hands together, wanting to go down to the core area and take the relics scattered all over the ground.

However, the sect leaders and Buddhist disciples of the two sects all had solemn expressions and issued decrees, ordering that experts above the True Lord level should not make a move.

This is why the true people were able to fight each other freely within the Yuanshi sect.

Chen Wen ignored everything and didn't care about anything until he left Yuan Shi and returned to the area he was responsible for. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief—the evacuation of one million people was successful!

However, upon his return, he saw a white-clad woman with a sinister expression staring intently at him.

"Master, are you just admiring the scenery?"

Chen Wen was in a good mood, so even though the other party had a cold face, he still greeted him with a smile.

"To see the scenery?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenliu's killing intent surged, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

"What did you do to me? Don't you remember?!"

"Master, what are you saying? You're my master, what could I possibly do to you...?"

Before Chen Wen could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

I... it seems... it's possible... I really did do something to my master.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and took the initiative, saying with an incredulous expression;

"Master, you..."

.......
