The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

Opening the Pure Land will bring great calamity.

This is a warning passed down by the strongest predecessors of Buddhism. Even though we are in chaotic times, Buddhism is still thriving and far from its end.

Xinyuan wants to open the Pure Land, but there's no way Wula can agree to it.

So, even knowing he can't match Xinyuan's power, Wula still wants to give it a try.

"Tathagata's Pure Reserve, Mahayana's severance and extinction."

With a Dharma Seal in hand, perfect pure Buddha Light rises from Wula's top door, illuminating the ten directions. The Mahayana Buddha Light extinguishes the five dusts, its power unmatched.

"Starting the fight like this?"

The Buddha Light approaches, but Xinyuan remains motionless and undefended, allowing the Mahayana Buddha Light to wash over him. Outside his body, various cause and effect form wheels, igniting Red Lotus Karmic Fire. As he sits in the fire, the Buddha Light approaches Xinyuan's body, only to be burned away by the karmic fire, unable to get close at all.

"Wula, after forty years of reverence to Buddha, your cultivation has not progressed much."

Xinyuan gently sighs, his body emitting a golden glow, and the indestructible, unbroken Vajra Perfection stabilizes all appearances, making the Mind Wisdom Sword unable to function.

"Mind Wisdom Sword, still the old trick, openly Mahayana's extinction, secretly Mind Wisdom Sword. Buddhist friend Wula, your skills are exhausted."

"Indeed, exhausted. I didn't expect you to obtain the Esoteric Sect's supreme treasure, no wonder you claimed to have resolved the weakness. A Diamond Heart stabilizes all appearances; using the Wisdom Sword to cut your mind is completely impossible now." Wula shook his head wryly.

Even the only means of restraint could not be effective—he was completely out of tricks.

In terms of strength, Wula is not considered top-notch, as his name doesn't appear on the Heavenly List. This is partly because Wula doesn't venture into worldly society, and partly because he is not particularly good at combat.

So, even if he has the heart to stop Xinyuan's actions, he truly lacks the power.

"Your skills are exhausted, but the poor monk is far from using his full strength. Wula, today I will first let you see the foundation of this poor monk, so you may know that the future of Buddhism is ultimately in the hands of this poor monk."

Pointing to heaven and drawing on the earth, a gigantic golden Buddha appeared behind him, with infinite Buddha Light. Xinyuan's Qi Mechanism and the Buddha's appearance became one, unleashing an unprecedented peerless power.

"Buddha and I are one, heaven and earth revere."

"Boom—"

Heaven and earth become filled with Buddha Light, and the rising morning sun loses its color under this Buddha Light.

For Dharma Temple, this day is a new day, and one completely different from the past.

························

"Creak—"

The advancing wheelchair suddenly stopped. Qing Yu lowered his lightly raised right hand, gazing coldly ahead, "Who are you, sir?"

In his eyes, Sword Light burst forth, an invisible Sword Intent flew forward, piercing through as if a curtain, a figure in deep blue appeared out of thin air.

"The master of Piaomiao Sword Palace is indeed extraordinary, able to see through my tracks even when gravely injured. No wonder that person recommended you to become a new member of us." Elder Shiming looked at the strands of hair already turning white on Qing Yu, deeply said.

There are not many who can see through his stealth technique. That Ren Piaomiao could see through his tracks even when wounded is a testament to his extraordinariness.

If this person had not been recommended by Qing Yu, Elder Shiming might have directly let Ren Piaomiao join.

"A new member of yours?" Qing Yu seemed to catch something, "Nine Heavens, isn't it?"

"You know?"

"Master Qingyu and I have talked; he should also be a member of the Nine Heavens." Qing Yu began his dramatic monologue again.

Previously within the Heavenly Vault, Qing Yu recommended Ren Piaomiao; if he were said to have no relation to Qing Yu at all, Elder Shiming would absolutely not believe it.

So, what's known must be known, but the relationship should not be too deep.

"Qing Yu, what kind of person do you think Qing Yu is?" Elder Shiming asked.

"My view is not something for you to worry about, sir. If there's nothing else, please leave." Qing Yu said very coldly.

The wheelchair automatically turned under the effect of True Qi, heading sideways.

"Doesn't Palace Master Ren have any interest in the Nine Heavens?" Elder Shiming asked from behind.

"I am only interested in the sword," Qing Yu said without looking back.

To have Elder Shiming agree for Ren Piaomiao to join the Nine Heavens, it's not something that can be done with just one conversation. Qing Yu needs to first create the image of a Sword Dao madman, gradually dispelling Shiming's doubts.

Time is on Qing Yu's side, and he can take his time to play with him.

························

Xuanzhou, Hou Qian Palace.

The Imperial City, recently completed, was as grand and majestic as the Daqian Palace but lacked a sense of historical weight.

After all, the Daqian Palace was inherited from the Great Zhou, with a history of nine hundred years.

That night, the Shengde Emperor was alone in the Study Room, approving memorials and checking information sent from the Shadow Pavilion.

Since Hou Qian was established for a short time, all affairs required the Shengde Emperor to personally handle them, to avoid being deceived by disloyal people. Therefore, since Hou Qian's establishment, aside from seclusion, Shengde Emperor has mostly been handling court matters.

Fortunately, his Martial Arts Realm is supreme, and working day and night is not a problem. If it were an emperor of ordinary strength, he might have long been exhausted.

"Recently, there was a sudden surge of Buddha Light from Dharma Temple, with Buddha's appearance in the sky. Qing Yu, what do you think?"

While opening a new memorial, the Shengde Emperor asked the floating projection on the left.

"If it's Buddha's appearance, it should be the Buddha-Self Supreme Skill of the Great Zen Temple. The only one capable of such feats at Dharma Temple is Xinyuan Abbot from the Great Zen Temple. It seems that Buddhism is also planning a big move." Qing Yu, manifested through an array, said calmly.

Although Dharma Temple stays away from worldly society, being one of the Three Great Buddhist Temples, there are many who pay attention to it. Qing Yu also received a report on the Buddha appearance anomaly.

"Today, Bian Tian already went to meet Ren Piaomiao; ultimately, without other candidates, he could only choose Ren Piaomiao," Qing Yu said.

"Next, you need to push your efforts."

"I know," the Shengde Emperor nodded, "I will have Bian Tian quickly choose Cangtian and have Ren Piaomiao join the Nine Heavens."

Qing Yu wants Ren Piaomiao to join the Nine Heavens not just by relying on his own efforts. After all, he is the object of Elder Shiming's suspicion, and without another pusher, this would be very troublesome.

After Jun Heaven's seclusion, the only Supreme warrior, You Tian, who is also the Shengde Emperor, would be an excellent object to leverage.

Fortuitously, the Shengde Emperor and Qing Yu have a deep relationship due to past connections, and like Qing Yu, he wants to usurp the Sword God and Elder Shiming. Thus, they reached a mutual assistance plan.

Like when Ji Chengtian decided to list Ren Piaomiao as a candidate, it was the result of their cooperation.

"You and I will assist each other, I will help Ren Piaomiao join the Nine Heavens, and you must help me seize Elder Shiming's right to speak. Remember this well." Ji Chengtian said deeply.
