Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 1390: Chapter 812: Ah, Yes, Yes, Yes, All Are the Grand Moves Made by Me, the Future Buddha_2

"Heh."

Unexpectedly for the monks, after reading the Jade Slip, the two True Buddhas exchanged glances and simultaneously let out a bitter laugh.

They had just been thinking that if the speculations were true, it implies the Future Buddha harbors selfish intentions, disregarding the future of his own Great Sect. They hadn’t anticipated a corrective method would arrive so swiftly.

Since Bodhi Sect suffered greater losses, letting a few more Immortals die on the opposing side wouldn’t be so bad.

In front of this Jade Slip, the internal conflict between the two Buddhas became a reality, but to look on the bright side, the Future Buddha was merely displeased with the calamity, still keeping the Great Sect close to his heart.

"Fetch some Buddha Treasure from the mountain."

The Joyful True Buddha waved his wide sleeve, and said indifferently, "Go."

Truth be told, when he first intervened, he genuinely intended to dissolve the grudges between the two sides. Despite the Three Immortals Sect behaving unruly, the Great Freedom Miao Yin Monk indeed provided fodder for criticism by attacking the younger generation. Hence, at the start of this debate, the True Buddha did not intentionally favor either side.

The issue was that his forbearance seemed to be mistaken for weakness and susceptibility by those Immortals.

If the debate couldn’t conclude the catastrophe, then let killing replace it.

With peace talks failing and an Immortal Emperor couldn’t be chosen, the two sects would revert to their previous state, navigating the Human World through their disciples, each claiming territory by their means.

Under such circumstances, Bodhi Sect naturally wouldn’t endure the slightest loss.

At the command from the True Buddha, the monks immediately responded solemnly antes dispersing promptly.

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva also stood, just about to turn and leave, when he heard a gentle call from the Medicine King True Buddha: "Wait."

"I wonder what further instructions the True Buddha has?" The Snow Mountain Bodhisattva looked back.

"By rights, the Three Immortals Sect shouldn’t be so reckless; they likely encountered some issues upon returning." The Medicine King True Buddha, unable to directly disclose the hidden struggle between the two Buddhas to the younger generation, resorted to beating around the bush.

"I suspect Emperor Dongji had a disagreement with Master Yu Yu."

Even True Buddhas can’t deduce with such detail based merely on conjecture, but already knowing Shen Yi is under Future Buddha’s command, many matters become self-evident.

The other side’s allegiance to Future Buddha certainly means rejecting another Emperor’s solicitation.

"What do you mean?" The Snow Mountain Bodhisattva froze for a moment.

"If my guess is correct, there may be only one Emperor left protecting Master Yu Yu, or perhaps none at all."

The Medicine King Buddha didn’t speak directly, but hinted clearly enough.

Given that it was originally a pawn to deter the catastrophe, and bound by such an Immortal Oath, the outcome of downfall was already predetermined. After delivering this Jade Slip, the value of the opponent’s continued existence would lie solely in alleviating Bodhi Sect disciples’ grievances.

Moreover, handling it early could help preserve Future Buddha’s good reputation, eliminating inappropriate thoughts prematurely.

The calamity is a momentum driven by the alliance of the two sects. In this tide, Houtu Huangdi Qi can do nothing, and Future Buddha has no difference despite her higher status.

"I understand, Master."

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva bowed, according to the True Buddha’s idea, as long as they could find matters for the Houtu Emperor, Shen Yi would have no protection.

Among the Three Immortals Sect disciples who came to the East Continent for the debate, only two were omitted within the Jade Slip.

One is Shen Yi, the other, Shi Mu under Lady Houtu, possessing the Yin Yang Purifying Bottle, an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Though somewhat troublesome, finding someone in the East Continent for Sumeru Mountain isn’t difficult. As for the Innate Treasure, as long as True Buddha permits, one or two pieces can also be taken.

...

East Continent, in the desolate mountains, Immortal Sword traversed like a Flying Shuttle.

To avoid detection, Immortal Disciples dared not unveil too much presence and specifically chose secluded locations. Though their pace slowed, the advantage was moving silently.

Over three days, it has been ample time for them to catch those monks by surprise.

"Honestly, since leaving Brother Yu Yu...I somehow feel much steadier in heart."

A disciple chuckled sheepishly, though others didn’t verbally agree, their expressed sentiments were quite similar.

When united against external threats, having a leading senior brother capable of supporting everyone, naturally brings great honor.

But don’t forget, just being near this senior brother means, like during the time in the North Continent, not only couldn’t others expand their territory, but even the incense beneath was rather hard to preserve.

Furthermore, having face is one thing, but some might see it as coincidence, yet whenever Senior Brother Shen Yi intervenes, this group of disciples always seems to encounter losses.

"Enough, word is that the Southern Continent remains under the Divine Dynasty’s control, the Southern Sumeru wastes such fine resources, truly an affront to heaven’s goods, indeed the perfect opportunity for us brothers to exploit."

"Luckily, I’ve prepared early, leaving the East Continent with several convenient Demon Venerables, you’ll be far behind me this time."

The disciple laughed heartily, eliciting eye-rolls from others.

However, just then, a distant yet indifferent voice came from ahead.

"What stirs your exhilaration, Dao Brother? Why not share and let us monks join in the delight?"

As the words fell, the faces of many Three Immortals Sect disciples suddenly changed, swiftly deploying their Magic Artifacts, but upon raising their eyes, found the entire Sky Curtain covered by a piece of yellow cloth, akin to a pouch swallowing the heavens.

They found themselves unknowingly stepping into a trap!

The yellow cloth flapped violently, numerous soaring Bodhisattva Golden Bodies rose like colossal mountains, blocking the view of the Immortals, the gilded eyes etched with traces of cruelty, gazing coldly downward.

One side was caught off guard, while the other was well-prepared.

At this moment, it mirrored the time when several Bodhisattvas escaped into the North Continent and got trapped in the Formation, only now the roles have subtly swapped.

Behind the Immortal disciples, there was no elder like the Pure World Bodhisattva to protect them, the outcome would undoubtedly be different.

No matter how desperately the disciples of the Three Immortals Sect fought, how could they terrify those monks already brimming with anger from the debate?

Similar scenes occurred repeatedly across every corner of the East Continent.

Not only were the Third-rank disciples, but even the Golden Immortals had their paths blocked, the aura fluctuations from the duel shook the East Continent’s earth, Sky Curtain collapsed, mountains crumbled, and even rivers were severed by sword light.

"Not good!"

Master Xuanwei raised his eyes in shock. If two or three groups were noticed by Bodhi Sect, it was barely understandable, but the consecutive outbursts of aura were enough to indicate the severity of the situation.

It wasn’t simply Bodhi Sect catching on; in this posture, the whereabouts of his group were evidently under those monks’ control.

This couldn’t be...

He suddenly turned his gaze sharply towards the accompanying Qing Guangzi: "Was it you?"

"You scoundrel!" Qing Guangzi immediately panicked, face flushed with anger: "Even if I’m dissatisfied, how could I treat my Immortal Sect’s destiny as child’s play!"

Meanwhile, during the few’s dispute, elsewhere in the East Continent.

The worried Shi Mu suddenly halted, looking around in bewilderment.

Upon seeing figures approaching from all directions, her face showed traces of fear, yet she still mustered courage and sharply scolded: "I am under Lady Houtu’s Imperial Edict, returning to the Emperor’s Mansion on urgent matters, how dare you obstruct me?"

From the fierce expressions on these monks’ faces, Shi Mu could roughly guess something, she simply couldn’t comprehend why the Houtu Emperor’s Mansion, which never intervenes in calamity matters, would be targeted.

"Your grudges... have nothing to do with me..." she retreated step by step.

"Whether it matters or not, it’s not up to you to decide."

Of the three Sumeru Mountains, there were only over eighty Great Freedom Bodhisattvas in total, with more than half asleep during the debate, leaving merely thirty or so. For just Shi Mu, a full six were dispatched, reflecting Bodhi Sect’s resolve.

At this moment, these six Great Freedom Bodhisattvas formed a surrounding circle, firmly enclosing the purple-robed woman.

The leader stepped forward, a sinister smirk appearing at the corner of his lips, casually saying: "Or perhaps you could try calling for help, to see whether your lady can manage to arrive?"
