I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!
Chapter 679 - 278: Spirit Mountain Reopens! (Request for Subscription)_2

"Uh..." Emperor Wei and the others exchanged glances, clearly surprised by the statement: "Weren't they all said to have perished at Taizhou Mountain?"

"If we didn't say that, wouldn't it make them seem too foolish? We have to leave some dignity for those old guys." Huangshan Taoist scoffed:

"But strictly speaking, they didn't intentionally make a move; they were forced by the Demon Court's ambush."

"Then..."

Before the others could ask more questions, Huangshan Taoist had already guessed their thoughts and added, "The ancestors of the Demon Court were also besieged and killed like this."

Emperor Wei and the others were rendered speechless.

Silence fell for a moment.

"The matter of the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge,' will it impact the situation on the Tianyuan Continent and the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield?"

"Don't ask this poor daoist, this poor daoist doesn't know!" Huangshan Taoist looked at them, irritably scratching his gray hair and said:

"This is obvious, isn't it? A thousand years have passed, and there are always some among demons and humans who don't believe in taboos; it takes the death of some for them to understand that the rules left by the ancestors are not unfounded."

"..."

The group exchanged a look, pondering for a while, and found some truth in it.

After all, it's not the chaotic times of a thousand years ago anymore, and the relationships between the Wei Dynasty, the Southern Barbarians, the Buddha Country, and the East Continent Islands are no longer as harmonious as before, already showing signs of discord.

If the Demon Court wasn't still powerful, blocking and pursuing the humans at Taizhou Mountain, perhaps without the intervention of the demons, the Wei Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians, Buddha Country would have already fallen apart.

"Nevertheless, preparations still need to be made," Emperor Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Later, more guards need to be dispatched to Beizhili Ferry to prevent attacks from the Demon Court ancestors, and send someone to notify the Taizhou Mountain side as well."

"Further, there's also Beixiong Pass where just now Wang Xidu sent a message back, stating that Chen Yi is in the Ten Thousand Mountains, this matter..."

"Not only Chen Yi, his brother Chen Yuan should be there too." Before Emperor Wei could finish, Xie Jing interrupted.

"Oh?"

"Previously, I had contact with Chen Yuan and brought up 'Pure Heaven'... At that time, I didn't know their names, only said they were the ones hidden in the shadows, targeting the Wei Dynasty and the Zhou family, so I had Chen Yuan secretly investigate..."

As Xie Jing narrated, Emperor Wei and the others finally understood why Chen Yuan was taken away by 'Pure Heaven,' looking at each other they said:

"Left Minister, how did you know about 'Pure Heaven'?"

"Guessed."

At this point, Xie Jing didn't intend to hide anymore, so he revealed the doubts about the battle at Beixiong Pass, combined with his understanding of the ministers in the imperial court who framed Zhou Guanwu, it wasn't hard to spot the hidden manipulator behind.

"In short, Chen Yuan was forced to join 'Pure Heaven,' and perhaps Chen Yi's journey to the Ten Thousand Mountains is related to him."

"Uh, are you saying that what Chen Yi did in the Duke Jingye Mansion before was, was all an act?" The Great Master realized.

"It should be," Xie Jing glanced at him and said with a smile, "The Great Master's disciple just happened to run into the Heroic Marquis on the Sword Edge."

"..."

Emperor Wei's face also showed a smile, his tense mood eased a lot when seeing the Great Master falter, waving his hand he said:

"Alright, let's not talk about that, Beixiong Pass also needs to guard against the Demon Court's desperation, in my opinion, let's have the sects and holy lands that are nearer support that area soon."

"Rightly so, I am also... Hmm?!"

However, just at this moment, Nine Thousand Years halted his words, listening for a moment, then looked towards the southeast with a slightly grave expression.

Beside him, both the Great Master and Huangshan Taoist furrowed their brows, gazing towards the southeast, "Dakong Temple..."

"What?" Xie Jing saw their reactions and felt uneasy, asking, "Did something happen at Dakong Temple?"

"How could it be? The Holy Emperor has already ordered them sealed and dispersed..."

"Silence!"

Huangshan Taoist angrily interrupted, "Let this poor daoist listen carefully before speaking!"

The Great Master slightly shook his head towards Xie Jing, using sound transmission he said, "The bell within Dakong Temple is ringing, the monks are gathering, reciting scriptures."

"This..."

As Emperor Wei and the others noticed the changes within Dakong Temple, the bell suddenly rang out during the midnight, far louder than usual.

However, this roaring, resounding throughout Kyoto Prefecture, instead of waking those sleeping, seemed to make them sleep more peacefully and serenely.

And within Dakong Temple, with each increasingly resonant chime, monks and nuns arriving from monasteries across the Wei Dynasty sat down cross-legged, eyes closed in scripture recitation.

"Thus have I heard..."

At this moment, inside the highest abode of the Buddhist hall.

"Buddha's resurgence? Buddha's resurgence! Hahaha... My Buddha's resurgence indeed!"

Master Kongjing shouted hoarsely, maniacally screaming, "This old monk is delighted!"

The previously kind and enlightened demeanor of the holy monk completely vanished, replaced by a ferocious and terrifying visage.

"Amitabha, Master..."

"Dakong's Buddha" Fu Chen, holding a staff and dressed in a kasaya, looked at him with a somber expression.

Beside him, a tall figure looked at them with indifference, it was Zhou Guanwu, whose Divine Will had shattered within the Demon Court!

"Monk Fu Chen, stop wasting time!"

"You should know this is the last chance. If the great powers within Kyoto Prefecture arrive, you and I will have difficulty escaping!"

Fu Chen remained silent.

Zhou Guanwu's expression grew more irritable, "What exactly are you planning? Now the 'General' has taken away Gu Ying and Chen Yuan, our 'Pure Heaven's' plans on the Tianyuan Continent have mostly failed, if you make another mistake, both you and I will die later!"

After a moment of silence.

Fu Chen pressed his palms together, sighed and said, "Amitabha, Master, the Buddha's resurgence will happen in the disciple's hands, but unfortunately, you won't be able to see it."

"Crack!"

Seeing his leisurely manner, Zhou Guanwu nearly ground his teeth to pieces, articulating each word he said, "Monk Fu Chen, Huangshan Taoist's gaze is over here!"

Hearing this, Fu Chen looked at him calmly, saying without emotion: "Master Guanwu, the failed plan has scared you."

"Afraid?"

A fierce glint appeared in Zhou Guanwu's eyes, Chen Yi's image flashing in his mind, especially after what he did previously in the Demon Court, making his already murderous intent-filled mind even more unstable.

"What I'm afraid of is Chen Yi dying too quickly, leaving me no chance for revenge!"

"Heh," Fu Chen chuckled softly, his gaze returning to Master Kongjing: "Master Guanwu, why not just go over to the Duke Jingye Mansion and vent your anger then?"

"Hmph! No more nonsense! How I act, I don't need you to tell me!" Zhou Guanwu huffed.

"Enough said, later on, if the last chance gets ruined by Huangshan Taoist because of you, we'll both be dead!" he snapped.

Fu Chen fell silent for a moment, then calmly responded, "When this humble monk returns to Taizhou Mountain, I will seek 'General' to atone."

He withdrew his smile as he spoke and, sitting cross-legged, a radiant Buddha Light surged from his being.

"Amitabha."

The moment he finished speaking, a dazzling Buddha Light erupted from Fu Chen's body, and the voices of monks chanting sutras from various temples within the Wei Dynasty grew louder as they merged together.

"Oh Buddha, have mercy..."

Alongside the resounding recitations and the converging golden light, Fu Chen's body slowly began to levitate, drawing in the Buddha Light into himself.

"Buddha's mercy..."
