Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood

Yang Shi's administration had been somewhat ineffective lately. It was not only related to the Buddhist Cultivation Path; it was also connected to the breakdown in negotiations with the Elephant Demon.

Many people within the Buddhist Path believed that although the Elephant Demon's conditions were somewhat harsh, they were absolutely a tremendous opportunity for the Buddhist Path.

They believed Yang Shi should agree to the conditions proposed by the Monster King of Jin.

If Yang Shi agreed to the Monster King of Jin's conditions, they would not only have certainly become members of Jin's upper echelons by now, but the Buddhist Path would also have begun spreading throughout every region of Jin.

After all, no matter how harsh the Monster King's conditions were, they were still far better than the Buddhist Path being trapped in one corner, unable to move, and even tottering on the verge of collapse.

Some of the Buddhist Path's higher-ups also believed that the Monster King's conditions were indeed somewhat harsh, but they could first engage him in a superficial relationship and temporarily agree to his conditions. As for what happened afterward, they could wait until the Buddhist Path had developed before deciding.

After all, they still had great confidence in the Buddhist Path's ability to make others convert.

However, Yang Shi had refused the Monster King's conditions to prevent the Buddhist Path from becoming a tool used by the Monster King of Jin and the upper echelons of the monster race to rule the lower-ranking monsters.

As a result, the Buddhist Path was now being targeted by Jin everywhere. Not only had its former rapid rise been halted, but its sphere of influence had also shrunk considerably. During this period, a large number of Buddhist cultivators had even perished, severely weakening everyone's strength.
