Chapter 683: 546 Six Saints Reach Consensus_2

Want the Buddhist domain to act as a pawn for the Mystic Sect? Dream on!

Taking a deep breath, the Zhunti Saint forced himself to calm down and said indifferently to the Saint of Taiqing:

"Brother Taiqing, there is no need to say more. Regardless of the situation in Spiritual Mountain, it is a matter of the West, and it has nothing to do with the East. Whether it’s evil spirits or the Demon Sect, I ask that my brothers let it be, my siblings and I will solve it ourselves."

No matter what the Saint of Taiqing says, this time Zhunti Saint had made up his mind to define this matter as one of the West, not leaving any room for the East to interfere.

The division between the East and the West is not a division made by the West, but by the East. The Mystic Sect has always advocated that matters of the East have nothing to do with the West. In the same way, the East has no right to interfere with matters of the West.

Zhunti Saint used the words once spoken by the Sanqing to block Sanqing’s words. He wanted to force them not to intervene in the matter of Spiritual Mountain.

However, the Saint of Taiqing would not let him hold on to these words. Shaking his head, he said with a serious expression: "Friend Zhunti, your words are troublesome. The appearance of the Demon Sect affects the safety of the entire Prehistoric World. How can it only be a matter for the West?"

Zhunti Saint wanted to say something, but the Jieyin Saint next to him had lost the desire to argue. The other party was clearly causing trouble, and to continue would be a waste of time.

Blocking Zhunti Saint who wanted to speak out, Jieyin Saint took a step forward, came to the face of the Saint of Taiqing, saluted him, and said:

"Four brothers of the Dao, why feign confusion? I do not know your intentions, nor do I want to. All I know is that the Buddhist domain cannot fall into chaos or be destroyed."

"Whoever touches the Buddhist domain is trying to undermine the foundation of my disciples and me. We are prepared to fight."

Compared with Zhunti Saint, Jieyin Saint was direct. He didn’t care why the four saints of the Mystic Sect came, he only knew that the Buddhist domain could not be destroyed. Otherwise, he would risk everything.

Whoever tries to destroy the Buddhist domain, he will fight them to the end.

Indeed, words are powerless, attitude is key. Once Jieyin Saint’s attitude of risking everything was revealed, the Saint of Taiqing immediately stopped talking.

The atmosphere abruptly grew tense.

It took a long time before the Saint of Taiqing spoke, breaking the deadlock: "Brother Jieyin, you’re overreacting. No one wants to destroy the Buddhist domain. But now, Spiritual Mountain is invaded by evil spirits and the whole Xiniuhe Continent has become a land of demons."

"The disciples of our Mystic Sect can’t bear to see the suffering of the people, so we responded to the invitation of the Buddha of Great Power and Virtue, and went to Xiniuhe Continent to help eliminate the demons."

The Saint of Taiqing was not afraid of the threat from Jieyin Saint. Because the disciples of the Mystic Sect going to the West was not voluntarily. They were invited by someone from the Buddhist domain.

Under the control of the Buddhist domain, the creatures of Xiniuhe Continent lived in misery. Their lives were so pitiful that even the people from the Buddhist domain could not bear to watch. That is why they resolved to risk universal condemnation and invite the Mystic Sect to save people.

No matter how you look at this, it is the Buddhist domain at fault, not others.

Upon hearing the words of the Saint of Taiqing, the two Saints of the West immediately felt embarrassed. In recent years, the behaviors of the Buddhist domain have indeed been somewhat unseemly. To increase their numbers, they have indiscriminately accepted anyone who is willing to join the Buddhist domain.

As a result, the environment inside the Buddhist domain became mixed with good and evil. The number of bad people gradually outnumbered the good, causing Xiniuhe Continent to be filled with such chaos and unrest.

Being fully aware of their wrongs, the two saints of the West knew that this point could not be argued. Therefore, they directly acknowledged their mistakes and said:

"Indeed, we have neglected the discipline of the Buddhist domain in recent years, leading to many forgetting the teachings of Buddhism. Fortunately, the Buddha of Great Power and Virtue was born, corrected the disorder in time, and prevented us from making a big mistake."

After admitting their fault, the Jieyin Saint continued to speak: "The Buddhas have lost their virtues, causing sentient beings to suffer and causing innumerable grievances. Their karma led to this disaster, they fell into reincarnation and suffered. This is their retribution, not the fault of others."

"But why should the disciples suffer for the Buddhas’ faults? They were merely deceived by the evil spirits."

"Though guilty, their crimes do not warrant death. A small punishment would suffice to serve as a great warning, and then they can maintain their useful bodies to atone for their past mistakes."

"As for the Buddhist scriptures, although my Daoist friends are proficient in their Daoist techniques, they may not fully understand the principles of Buddhism. We will not trouble them with discerning the real from the fake scriptures. My disciple and I will dedicate some time, and we should be able to identify the authenticity."

Faced with the dominant Mystic Sect’s Four Saints, Jieyin Saint eventually gave ground. If the Mystic sect wishes to kill the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain, then so be it, considered it as atonement to the suffering beings of the Western world.

However, the disciples of the Buddhist door must not be harmed, and the Buddhist scriptures must not be altered by the Mystic Sect.

These were Jieyin Saint’s bottom line. If the Mystic Sect were to push any further, don’t blame him for choosing mutual destruction.

The Four Saints of Taiqing felt the determination of Jieyin Saint, and so, they appeared to hesitate, wondering if they should agree to his terms.

Yes, the death of Buddhas from Spiritual Mountain would indeed impact the Buddhist door, bringing about a temporary decline, but it would not shake its foundation.

All are Immortals at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage. Even if they were to die, after several turns of reincarnation, most of them would be back. By then, the Buddhist door would surely overcome its weakness and return to its peak.

So killing the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain doesn’t matter. What’s essential is to win the interpretation authority of the Buddhist scriptures, and only then the core of the Buddhist door could be shaken.

Seeing that Jieyin Saint had backed down yet the Four Saints were still hesitant, it was inevitable that Jieyin Saint would lose his temper. A terrifying aura rose from him, causing the surrounding Chaos to collapse layer by layer.

Just then, from deep within the Chaos, several indistinct auras approached from afar, directly targeting Jieyin Saint. In an instant, the aura rising from him suddenly came to a halt.

The foundation of the Mystic Sect is truly profound. Since the ancient era, it had successively produced Taiyi and Di Jun, both Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

After countless years, it cannot be ruled out that someone may have advanced to the state of unity with the Primordial Chaos.

The Two Saints of the West thought that they were threatened by the Four Saints. But in reality, are there only four who threaten them?

The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive in the silence.

Finally, it was the Upper Qing Saints who broke the deadlock by speaking out.

"The Buddhist door is in chaos, yet Buddha of Great Might vanquished this chaos, thus deserving credit for the Buddhist door and the beings of the West. He should be the leader of the Buddhist door, the supreme authority amongst countless Buddhas," he said.

Knowing that the Two Western Saints would never give up the interpretation right of the Buddhism scriptures, the Mystic Sect decided to take a step back. They no longer sought the interpretation authority of the Buddhism Scriptures, but chose to promote Jiang Chen to the position of the supreme leader of the Buddhist door.

Regardless of the other conditions, it is important to establish one of their own as the supreme leader of the Buddhist door first. This would make it much easier to make a move against the Buddhist door in the future.

The Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents only thought about destroying the Buddhist door, but the Saints clearly want more. They want to convert Buddhism into the Mystic Sect’s path, so that the Buddhist door can return to the arms of the Mystic Sect.

The fate of the Buddhist door is not insignificant. It would be a pity to just destroy it, it’s better if it flows back to the Mystic Sect. Designating Jiang Chen as the leader of the Buddhist door was the first step in the Saints’ plan.

Next, the Four Saints would use Jiang Chen to gradually revise the teachings of the Buddhist door, reducing it to a puppet, and then swallowing it whole.

Realizing this was the bottom line of the Mystic Sect, the Jieyin Saint nodded in agreement, saying, "Good, the Buddha of Great Might and Great Virtue descended to the world amidst the great calamities, slaying demons, ending chaos, and reestablishing the Great Thunderclap Temple. He should be the supreme of the Buddhist door, and the host of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Thus, a consensus was reached amongst the Six Saints. The Buddhist door would not be destroyed, and the West Journey would continue. However, the inevitable death of Buddhas from the Spiritual Mountain was fast approaching, with Jiang Chen becoming the new Buddha of the Buddhist door.

...

......

While the Six Saints were discussing, disciples from the Mystic Sect had already taken action in the Three Realms.

With a thunderous roar, a massive void passage appeared in the sky above the Xiniuhe continent. Countless Golden Immortals of the Immortal Dao stepped out of it, slaying the demons on the ground below.

At the same time, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect also made their move, crossing the endless void to arrive above Spiritual Mountain, silently observing the great Buddha of the Five Sides of the Buddhist door.

No, it was the demons who were impersonating the Five Buddhas of the Buddhist door.
