Chapter 646 Buddhist Challenge
The immortal ship sped along at high speed, leaving the twenty-odd elders in awe.
Especially Zhuge Qingtian and the others were shocked, "This malignant tumor has such a good thing?!"
The fairy boat is handsome and flies fast.
For a cultivator to possess such a magical mount, their prestige is off the charts.
This incredibly lucky bastard!
Xu Xiao steered the boat, and Dongfang Qing took out a portrait of Wu Qiu and explained the operation to everyone in detail.
The Jade Capital Immortal Realm is ruled by Buddhism, and there are countless Buddhist sects of all sizes, organized into kingdoms.
The largest Buddhist sect among them is the Zhongyuan Buddhist Sect, the national sect of the Yujing Kingdom in Zhongzhou. Its strength is even greater than that of the seven major immortal sects in the Lingzang Immortal Realm.
After all, it is the foremost sect in its region, unique and unparalleled.
Legend has it that Wu Qiu came from a mysterious background. Rumors circulate that she was the daughter of Abbot Huici, the current abbot of Zhongyuan Buddhist Temple, during his travels in the mortal world.
For the sake of Wu Qiu's future, Abbot Huici sent him to the Lingzang Immortal Realm to cultivate and embark on the path to immortality.
After all, in the Jade Capital Immortal Realm, female cultivators cannot cultivate Buddhist supernatural powers, and their upper limit is not high.
But this is just a rumor, and no one can confirm it. The Buddhist community is even less likely to acknowledge it.
Dongfang Qing said, "Everyone, I have read the sect's records about this matter, and it is almost certain that Huici personally escorted Wu Qiu to Qingxuan Sect, a subordinate sect of Tianyi Immortal Sect, 400,000 years ago."
"Back then, one of our sect's outer elders happened to be traveling near the Qingxuan Sect, and the memory of the Buddha's light shining upon him is still fresh in my mind."
"Based on the rumors, it can't be wrong."
The crowd sighed, their brows furrowing slightly.
If the rumors are true, then the biggest obstacle to this trip is not capturing Wu Qiu, but whether the Buddhist community will release him.
Dongfang Qing said, "Don't worry, Wu Qiu is an evil cultivator from my Lingzang Immortal Domain. She slaughtered the inner elders of the Tianyi Immortal Sect and seized the Supreme Immortal Sword. She is doomed to die. No one in this world can protect her."
"The Zhongyuan Buddhist sect would never go against the seven great immortal sects of Lingzang for the sake of a female cultivator. If Huici doesn't release her, the other monks will."
Everyone nodded; Dongfang Ruandan's analysis this time made sense.
The twenty-odd inner sect elders on the Immortal Boat are the best among the inner sect elders of the Yin Yang Immortal Sect.
Chief Enforcement Elder Mo Jie, a sixth-level Celestial Immortal and peerless sword immortal, possesses his natal supreme immortal sword and is the number one enforcer.
Elder Yan Yang, the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect, is a sixth-level Celestial Immortal and possesses a Supreme Immortal Artifact. He is also the second-in-command.
Dongfang Qing, Zhuge Qingtian, Qingluan, Hun Tian, Long Zhantian, Jian Zun, and others are all powerful Celestial Immortals.
Lu Daoli, Mu Jian, Yin Xuan, Yao Guang, Cang Song, Liu Huainan, and Ding Jing, who was recently promoted, are all peak Earth Immortals.
With such a formidable lineup, taking down a heavily injured Celestial Immortal at the first level would be a piece of cake.
Whether or not we can obtain the Supreme Immortal Sword depends mainly on the attitude of the Zhongyuan Buddhist Sect and the state of the other six sects.
The Eastern Capital City was far away; even with Xu Xiao's immortal ship traveling at full speed, it took him a whole day to arrive.
Yujing City is located in the easternmost coastal mountain range.
The city was magnificent and densely populated, with cultivators from both regions residing there, making it extremely prosperous.
At the weak point of the barrier between the two realms, it was created by the immortals of the two ancient realms who broke through the boundary and set up a large teleportation array.
These cities, equipped with large teleportation arrays, do not belong to any sect or faction; instead, they are governed by an independent second-rate sect.
When the immortal ship of the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect arrived, the city lord personally flew to welcome it and specially opened a teleportation array to allow the entire Yin-Yang Immortal Sect to be teleported to the Jade Capital Immortal Realm.
Jade Capital Immortal Realm, Spirit Treasure City of Western Continent.
After a dizzying spin, everyone's eyes lit up and they found themselves in the city's teleportation hall.
"Welcome to the Yin Yang Immortal Sect!"
The city lord of Lingzang City is already waiting here. Both sides are under the jurisdiction of this second-rate sect, and the entire sect is making spirit stones around the teleportation array.
Dongfang Qing stepped out of the teleportation array and said, "Is this City Lord Zhou? It's an urgent matter, so I won't stand on ceremony. My sect needs a complete map of the Jade Capital Immortal Realm, as well as a detailed map of the Central Plains, the kind with directions."
"Please mark the location of Zhongyuan Buddhist Temple for us, thank you."
City Lord Zhou presented a storage bag, saying, "My sect has already prepared it, Sect Leader Dongfang, there's no need to be so polite."
Dongfang Qing nodded, took the storage bag, bid farewell to the group in the main hall, and led everyone onto the immortal ship to continue their journey.
We just received news that, because their Yin-Yang Immortal Sect is the furthest from Jade Capital City, they will be the last sect to be teleported.
The remaining six sects have already headed to the Zhongzhou Zhongyuan Buddhist Sect.
The celestial boat sped along, with Dongfang Qing guiding Xu Xiao in the right direction.
They flew away from Xizhou, crossed the sea, and arrived at the beautiful and spiritual land of Zhongzhou.
The Buddhist sect of Zhongyuan is located in the center of the capital of Yujing Kingdom, and is the national sect.
"Invaders! You are all evil invaders! Leave my capital at once! Otherwise, I, the Supreme Holy Buddha, will subdue you with Vajra!"
"Amitabha! If your Spirit Realm continues to be so deluded, then I, the Buddha, will not be merciful!"
"Damn it, you're saying my Supreme Holy Sect is protecting a female cultivator, or rather, a heretical cultivator who stole your Supreme Immortal Artifact?! What kind of joke is this?! Are you looking for trouble?!"
"Get out of Jade Capital City!! We don't welcome you!!!"
The colossal city, resembling a behemoth, was filled with countless people gathered outside the gates of the Zhongyuan Buddhist Temple. The crowd stretched as far as the eye could see, and they were all cursing and raging at the sky.
Among them were Buddhist monks and ordinary people, all citizens of Yujing City who supported the Zhongyuan Buddhist sect.
Buddhist temples are built in cities to facilitate the collection of incense offerings and prayers; this is the case for most Buddhist temples in the Jade Capital Immortal Realm.
Six cultivators were already in the sky, riding flying swords and golden wheels, their celestial aura overwhelming and putting pressure on the Zhongyuan Buddhist sect.
Two of the three Southern Sects have arrived: the Five Spirits Immortal Sect led by Yun Huahai and the Pure Yang Immortal Sect led by Lü Xuanyi.
The four northern sects have all arrived.
Tianyi Immortal Sect, Golden Light Buddhist Sect, Killing Woman Immortal Sect, Nine Yin Mysterious Sect.
Cui Yun, the head of the Tianyi Immortal Sect, a tall and refined middle-aged man, stood on a giant flying sword and spoke as he channeled his spiritual power:
"This Venerable One, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly One Immortal Sect in the Spiritual Treasury Immortal Realm, Cui Yun, and Abbot Huici, hiding is useless. Wu Qiu tormented my Elder Xuan Guang for ten whole years, and finally died a tragic death."
"Afterwards, he stole one Supreme Immortal Sword and two other immortal artifacts, injured members of my sect, and refused to admit his wrongdoing."
"Such an evil cultivator must be exterminated by our Heavenly One Immortal Sect!"
"There is absolutely no room for negotiation. If the Buddhist sect refuses to hand over the person, the seven great immortal sects of the Spirit Treasury Immortal Realm will never agree to it!"
The overwhelming pressure of the celestial being was so intense that countless cultivators and mortals below felt it and their faces turned deathly pale.
If it weren't for the presence of the Buddhist sect, these minor cultivators would have been terrified and scattered long ago by the overwhelming aura of the immortal sect.
With the support of the Buddhist community, the crowd launched into another round of furious and angry rants.
In the heart of the city, hundreds of enormous Buddhist temples stand, but all are now closed, as if to keep visitors away.
No response yet.
A streak of light flashed across the sky, and a giant celestial ship appeared.
The colossal statue was twenty feet tall, radiating divine light, and its mysterious aura was awe-inspiring.
Seeing that the six sects were besieging the Buddhist sect, Dongfang Qing quickly said, "Brother Xu! Move to the front and increase the supply of spiritual energy!"
Xu Xiao rolled his eyes, piloted his flying boat and landed in front of the Six Sects. His overwhelming aura and heaven-shaking immortal light directly overshadowed the Six Sects' sharpness.
Just as Dongfang Qing was about to step forward to challenge him, Zhuge Qingtian stepped forward first.
Standing at the bow of the ship, with his hands behind his back, Dongfang Qing exuded an aura of celestial power and shouted excitedly from his superior position: "The Yin-Yang Immortal Sect of the Spiritual Treasury Immortal Realm is here!"
"You insignificant Buddhist sect, why don't you hand over Wu Qiu now! Send him before my Yin Yang Immortal Sect and commit suicide to admit your mistake!"
"Dare to protect us! My Yin Yang Immortal Sect will annihilate your entire sect!!"
The voice, imbued with celestial spiritual power, resonated throughout the entire venue.
Not only were the people from the six major immortal sects behind them shocked, but countless citizens of Jade Capital City below were dumbfounded.
Even the Yin-Yang Immortal Sect elders on the ship's deck were dumbfounded.
What the hell?! ! !
"Congratulations, host, you have gained 1000 Shock Points."
