Wu De wiped the sweat from his brow, relieved that the two groups of people had not come to blows, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Not long after Guanghan Holy Land arrived, experts from Yu Heng Star, Qingqiu, Dongshi, Xuandu, and Yuquan and other holy lands began to arrive one after another.
The major holy lands did not take Blood Sea Palace seriously. Amassing the power of many holy lands, it was not difficult to eliminate a Demon Sect.
People from these holy lands also saw this trip as an opportunity for inter-holy land camaraderie.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Chants of the Buddha reverberated, Celestial Maidens scattered flowers, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth, and a burst of golden light descended upon the mountain gate of Tai Hua Holy Land. When the light faded, several Buddhas and hundreds of Arhats and monks appeared.
“The Grand Freedom Buddha from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, they’ve come too?”
“After all, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is one of the holy lands. Their arrival is also a support.”
Wu De still followed protocol, stepping forward to receive the Grand Freedom Buddha, the Arhats, and the masters of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
“Humph.”
The Grand Freedom Buddha let out a cold snort, not particularly fond of Tai Hua Holy Land.
Their Lu Changsheng had stolen away a reincarnated Buddha’s disciple, and the Grand Freedom Buddha harbored resentment in his heart.
Wu De, aware of the conflict between the Grand Freedom Buddha and Lu Changsheng, said little more to avoid provoking the Buddha’s wrath.
“The people from Mt. Sumeru Holy Land have arrived!” Enjoy new chapters from empire
The chant of the Buddha was heard again, and golden lotuses sprang forth from the ground once more as another holy land on par with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the Mt. Sumeru Holy Land, arrived.
Just as the Daoist holy lands were numerous, so too were there numerous Buddhist holy lands; the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was not alone in its grandeur.
“That is Buddha Baoguang from Mt. Sumeru Holy Land!”
“It is said that Buddha Baoguang once suppressed a Great Demon in the Demon Realm. During the battle, Buddha Baoguang elevated his aura to the extreme, illuminating several divine domains with his sacred light, truly an unparalleled mighty one.”
If Wu De was humoring the Grand Freedom Buddha, then facing Buddha Baoguang, he truly held enormous respect.
Mt. Sumeru Holy Land was more forthright and righteous than the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, which made the Buddhist monks there even more compassionate and merciful.
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and Mt. Sumeru Holy Land had ideological differences, which led to the formation of their distinctive Buddhist holy lands.
“The people from Primordial Holy Land!”
A group of Sword Cultivators arrived next, exciting the disciples of Tai Hua Holy Land once again.
Primordial Holy Land was an ancient holy land among the top ten, powerful and extraordinary.
“Amitabha Buddha, this monk has seen Sword Saint Wuji.”
Buddha Baoguang, amiable and benevolent, clasped his hands respectfully toward the leader of the Supreme Elders of Primordial Holy Land.
The Supreme Elder of Primordial Holy Land, dressed in plain sword attire with an Immortal Sword on his back, exuded the presence of an unsheathed sharp sword without moving a muscle.
Sword Saint Wuji, a Sword Dao expert from Primordial Holy Land, was a once-candidate for the position of Holy Son, long known for his prowess.
In a top-ranking holy land like Primordial Holy Land, to be qualified as a candidate for Holy Son could very well mean that one isn’t much inferior to an actual Holy Son from a lesser-ranked holy land.
“Buddha Baoguang, long time no see. After we eliminate Blood Sea Palace, we should spar when we have the chance,” urged Sword Saint Wuji, his eyes sharp and filled with the spirit of battle.
Buddha Baoguang maintained his smile, replying simply, “Good.”
The people from Mt. Sumeru Holy Land and Primordial Holy Land entered Tai Hua Holy Land, taking up arrangements made for them to prepare for discussions on eliminating Blood Sea Palace.
Dozens more strong figures from various holy lands kept arriving, as numerous as the clouds.
Tai Hua Holy Land had many Elders who were acquaintances with individuals from other holy lands, taking the opportunity to converse with old friends from the other holy lands.
“Isn’t that the Clan Leader of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Sheng? What is he doing visiting the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple with Jiang Yu?”
“Could it be that Jiang Sheng knows the Grand Freedom Buddha from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?”
“Jiang Sheng, being a protector that has cultivated for tens of millions of years, it’s unremarkable that he knows some of the Buddhas from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.”
Jiang Sheng, accompanied by Jiang Yu and several strong figures from the Jiang Clan, visited the people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Jiang Sheng and Lin Xuantong were sworn brothers, so even the Grand Freedom Buddha was junior to him and behaved with utmost respect, not daring to act recklessly.
“Hahahaha, Brother Lu, we meet again!”
The arrival of the people from Yaochi Holy Land caused a stir. Zhu Tianze, Holy Son of Yaochi Holy Land, greeted Lu Changsheng with warmth.
Although he had lost to Lu Changsheng, he admired the prodigy who was much younger than himself, and through their interactions, they had become acquainted.
With teams from the holy lands arriving at Yaochi Holy Land, and as the Holy Son of Tai Hua, Lu Changsheng was expected to come forward and receive them.
Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected the Holy Son of Yaochi to be so magnanimous, completely setting aside past grievances; it seemed this person was worth befriending.
Upon the arrival of Lu Changsheng, the gaze of the young talents and even the Supreme Elders from the various holy lands converged on him.
After defeating Zhu Tianze, Holy Son of Yaochi, Lu Changsheng’s ranking on the Qilin Ranking had climbed significantly, reaching the 23rd spot.
Rising from the 461st to the 23rd position on the Qilin Ranking in a short span, Lu Changsheng had gained a minor reputation among the major holy lands.
This time, the young prodigies from the various holy lands, eager to refine their skills, naturally wanted to witness the prowess of this genius.
“You little rascal…”
The Grand Freedom Buddha showed deference in the presence of Jiang Sheng, but upon seeing Lu Changsheng, the amiable Grand Freedom Buddha’s complexion changed, and a hint of aggressiveness glinted in his eyes.
Lu Changsheng had interfered halfway and disrupted his plans.
In Lu Changsheng’s hands, there was still a mysterious talisman that even the Grand Freedom Buddha could not withstand, even though he had cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Immovable King True Body.
Lu Changsheng’s gaze met that of the Grand Freedom Buddha, unafraid despite the Buddha’s high realm of cultivation.
This was Tai Hua Holy Land; no one would dare offend Lin Xuantong by targeting his disciple.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng still possessed the Taiyin Goddess Talisman as a trump card.
“Junior brother, this time quite a number of prodigies from the Qilin Ranking have come. Jiang Yue Fairy from Guanghan Holy Land—once the Holy Maiden of Guanghan and currently ranked 31st on the Qilin Ranking.”
