"From now on, the Chan Sect and the Spirit Vine Sect will clash across the Primordial World, and disciples of both sects will meet countless tribulations as a result. Our Buddhist Sect, secluded in the Western Lands, will be able to weather this tribulation unscathed!"
After Jieyin spoke, Zhunti smiled and offered a few words in reply.
Of course, beyond that, there was something else neither of them said.
With the Chan Sect and the Spirit Vine Sect at odds, judging by the current situation, the Chan Sect would probably be no match for the Spirit Vine Sect. When that happened, Yuanshi might well come asking for their help.
And once Yuanshi asked for help, would that not give them a perfectly legitimate reason to expand the Western Buddhist Sect's sphere of influence into the eastern lands? Using that as their foothold, they could plunder the east's resources, setting the Buddhist Sect on the road to rapid growth.
If the tribulation lasted longer, perhaps their Buddhist Sect would finally gain an opportunity to flourish in earnest once it was over.
He and Zhunti could also make up for the inherent shortcomings in their attainment of Sainthood and shake off their reputation as the weakest of the Primordial World's six Saints.
Even beings with no connection to the events on Mount Qianyuan were watching intently. As the leader of the Spirit Vine Sect, Lin Tian naturally could not remain unconcerned.
Yet although watching Yuanshi crush the Spirit Vine Sect's disciples beneath his aura stirred fury in Lin Tian's heart, it was not yet time for him to act.
It is only pressure. It will not truly harm them. Enduring it now will bring my Spirit Vine Sect nothing but benefits.
If I appear too early, that will cause serious problems instead!
