How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Western Regions...

An hour ago...

A solemn and dignified atmosphere pervades Wanfo Temple. Incense smoke curls through the air, and chanting echoes throughout. In the main hall, the Buddha statues, with their benevolent expressions, radiate a compassionate and peaceful aura. High-ranking monks hold scriptures and chant, the sounds of Buddhist prayer ethereal and distant…

Suddenly, a series of steady footsteps came from outside the hall. The abbot was chanting sutras with his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint Buddhist light. He sensed someone entering, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp. Seeing that it was his junior brother Huineng returning, he gestured for everyone to stop chanting.

"Amitabha! Brother Huineng, why are you back so soon? Did you return from gathering information in the Eastern Region?"

"Huineng greets his fellow abbot. Amitabha!"

"Abbot, I have news. Actually, there's no need to inquire about this matter; it's already spread throughout the entire Eastern Region. I went there to find out what happened and then immediately rushed back. Amitabha!"

"Brother Huineng, please tell us quickly, how exactly did Brother Xuanji and Nephew Jiechen pass away?" All the eminent monks looked at Huineng, waiting for his answer.

"Amitabha! The deaths of Junior Brother Xuanji and the others were indeed the work of the Myriad Dharma Sect."

"Outrageous! It truly is the Myriad Dharma Sect! Abbot, let's gather the temple's experts immediately and storm the Myriad Dharma Sect!"

"Amitabha! Fellow disciples, let's hear what Brother Huineng has to say about Brother Xuanji's murder before we discuss the follow-up matters. Brother Huineng, please continue," the abbot said.

"Yes, Abbot. After Nephew Jiechen and the others went to the Eastern Region, they found the Tianyu Dynasty, which had a grudge against the Wanfa Sect, and cooperated with them. As for the specific conditions they discussed, I don't know, but I guess they probably wanted the Tianyu Dynasty to become our vassal."

"Junior Nephew Jiechen and his group's first step was to directly seize Wanfa City, which was newly built by the Wanfa Sect. On the same day, he ordered the Tianyu Dynasty to send troops to Wanfa City, demanding that it hand over its defenses, on the grounds that Wanfa City belonged to the Tianyu Dynasty. Junior Nephew Jiechen's move was probably intended to cut off the development of the Wanfa Sect."

"Later, the Wanfa Sect directly dispatched two quasi-emperors to annihilate all of our Wanfo Temple's personnel sent to the Eastern Region, along with several generals from the Tianyu Dynasty. When I returned, I saw that the Tianyu Dynasty had already been destroyed by the Wanfa Sect's forces. Amitabha!"

"Outrageous! We only asked them to hand over the city's defenses, and they should have obediently complied. How dare they kill the people of my Wanfo Temple! They deserve to die! Amitabha!"

The group of eminent monks all spoke with indignation and resentment...

"Alas! Jiechen and the others are still too impatient. As soon as they arrived in the Eastern Region, they went straight to seize the territory of the Wanfa Sect. Amitabha!" the abbot sighed.

"Junior Brother Huineng, you said the Tianyu Dynasty has been destroyed, so we need to prepare ourselves. Since we've already offended the Wanfa Sect, we have to be careful. I'm worried they might target our Wanfo Temple. Amitabha!"

"If they dare to come, we will wipe them out, thus avenging our Senior Brother Xuanji. Amitabha!"

"Alas, fellow disciples, we must not underestimate them. The abbot is absolutely right. After all, the Wanfa Sect has a quasi-emperor level expert, and our Wanfo Temple must be on guard. Amitabha!" Huineng said.

Suddenly, everyone at Wanfo Temple was startled by the terrifying sounds of fighting coming from the direction of Zhongzhou.

"This is the will of the Great Emperor? And there are two of them! What happened in Central Continent?" the abbot asked.

Not long after, a terrifying imperial aura spread out. When Lu Chen said, "The Xiao family wants the Myriad Laws Sect to be their dogs," the emperor's voice resounded throughout the entire Xuanhuang Continent, and the monks in the Myriad Buddhas Temple trembled with fear.

"Is this the Great Emperor of the Myriad Laws Sect? We're doomed..." the abbot murmured in terror.

"Attention all personnel! Immediately recall all disciples located outside the temple. Wanfo Temple is to be closed for ten thousand years!"

The abbot's order reached everyone's ears, and no one dared to be negligent in the slightest; they immediately sprang into action.

But as soon as they stepped out of the main hall, five terrifying figures tore through space in the sky.

Lei Wanjun, Zhan Wuji, and the other four looked down at the Wanfo Temple, where incense was burning brightly, and said, "This is it."

Seeing this, the abbot suppressed his fear and approached Lei Wanjun and his group of five. He clasped his hands together and said in a trembling voice, "Amitabha, what brings you distinguished guests to Wanfo Temple?"

Lei Wanjun sneered, "You know perfectly well why! Your Wanfo Temple sent people to the Eastern Region to oppose my Wanfa Sect, and even attempted to seize Wanfa City. How do you intend to settle this score?"

The abbot's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "It was our Wanfo Temple disciples who acted rashly. We are willing to reflect on our mistakes in seclusion for ten thousand years. We hope that Wanfa Sect will show leniency."

Zhan Wuji said disdainfully, "Don't you think it's too late to say all this now?"

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a beam of Buddhist light suddenly shot out from the temple, transforming into a huge pagoda that protected everyone in the Wanfo Temple. Immediately afterwards, three Buddhas flew out from the pagoda.

Upon seeing this, the monks realized that it was the Buddha within the temple who had intervened. The abbot was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Greetings to the three patriarchs."

The three Buddhas ignored them and went directly to Lei Wanjun and his group of five. They first put their hands together in prayer and said, "Amitabha! Greetings to the five benefactors."

"Five benefactors, it was our Wanfo Temple that was in the wrong in this matter. As the saying goes, revenge only leads to more revenge. Our Wanfo Temple is willing to make compensation. Besides, you have already killed many of our Wanfo Temple members. Why not let this matter drop and be considered closed? What do you all think?"

Lei Wanjun said, "You bald monks, if I wipe you all out, we won't have to keep chasing after each other!"

"Five benefactors, why be so aggressive? Amitabha!"

"Wasn't it your Wanfo Temple that was aggressive first? Who sent people to my Wanfa City? If we didn't have the strength, wouldn't we have been wiped out by you? A bunch of bald monks, you're shameless!" Zhan Wuji said.

Li Cangming stepped forward and said, "Why waste time talking nonsense with these bald monks? Let's fight!"

The moment the five of them simultaneously drew their imperial weapons...

The three Buddhas' expressions changed drastically, knowing that this battle was unavoidable. They then said to the abbot, "Quickly activate the Buddhist grand formation!"

The three Buddhas immediately activated their respective Buddhist supernatural powers, their bodies radiating Buddhist light. The leading Buddha transformed into a gigantic golden Dharma wheel, spinning as it charged towards Lei Wanjun and Zhan Wuji. Sanskrit characters flickered on the Dharma wheel, emanating powerful Buddhist energy.

Lei Wanjun, not to be outdone, drew his Thunder Spear and unleashed his supreme thunder magic. In an instant, the entire sky crackled with thunder. Zhan Wuji, wielding his battle blade, slashed out, the blade's light tearing through the void like a bolt of lightning. The thunder magic and the blade's light collided fiercely with the golden Dharma wheel, producing a deafening roar.

Instantly, the entire Dharma wheel was covered in cracks and lost its luster. The Buddha was slammed violently onto the formation, coughing up blood, and was severely injured by the single blow.

As soon as Fazheng made his move, he transformed the entire Wanfo Temple space into a large array, trapping everyone inside.

The sealer formed hand seals, and streaks of black runes flew out, shooting towards the other two Buddhas like sharp arrows.

Li Cangming appeared behind a Buddha like a ghost, his hands reaching out like iron claws and grabbing the Buddha's back.

The Buddha tried to struggle, but found his body bound by a powerful force, unable to move. Li Cangming exerted his strength, violently hurling the Buddha towards a distant mountain peak. The mountain collapsed instantly, and the Buddha crashed heavily to the ground, barely breathing.

Seeing this, the other Buddha was filled with grief and indignation. He chanted incantations, and the Buddhist light around him suddenly intensified several times, transforming into a giant sword of light that slashed towards Li Cangming. Li Cangming sneered, neither dodging nor blocking, but directly extending his palm to meet the sword of light. The sword of light struck his hand, only sending up a shower of sparks, failing to harm him in the slightest.

Just then, the Buddhist array of Wanfo Temple flickered with light, seemingly making a final struggle. The abbot was extremely anxious within the array, yet powerless to do anything. Meanwhile, Lei Wanjun and the others continued their attack, determined to completely destroy Wanfo Temple and wipe out these ignorant monks.

Suddenly, the sky flashed with light and overflowed with energy. Under the protection of the pagoda, the monks of Wanfo Temple watched the battle with tense expressions. The abbot's brow was furrowed, his heart filled with worry.
