Chu Tiange strode proudly inward, quietly taking stock of his surroundings.
Since the Buddha Kingdom was called a "kingdom" rather than a "city," it was naturally rather large, though not actually that much larger. One could also call this its "capital," with the other cities outside belonging to the Buddha Kingdom and this merely being its heart.
Of course, this central region did not take the shape of a city, but a mountain-Vulture Peak.
Vulture Peak's layout was essentially little different from sects such as the Cloudreach Sect. Powerful Buddhas and bodhisattvas occupied its various peaks, holding assemblies to expound the Dharma. Atop the largest and tallest Main Peak stood the Great Thunderclap Monastery, the Buddha Ancestor's abode.
Even an idiot could work out that the most important place had to be on the Main Peak: either its rear slopes, or the Great Thunderclap Monastery itself had been built right atop the most crucial spot.
What was this most important place, this most crucial spot?
The White Tiger's tomb, of course.
Its counterpart in the New Heavenly Realm was the tomb where the Western Great Emperor had fallen.
As for whether it was behind the mountain or beneath the Great Thunderclap Monastery itself, Chu Tiange leaned toward the former.
The reason was simple. The White Tiger presided over slaughter, fitting the mold of an ice-cold god of war, utterly incompatible with Buddhist attributes. It clearly belonged with the likes of Qiu Wuji or Chu Tiange. Though Buddhism in this realm had become twisted, it still preached the peace of the Dharma on the surface. Incompatible attributes remained incompatible. Forcibly building a monastery over it would inevitably cause severe conflict, making the losses outweigh the gains.
So it was more likely behind the mountain, allowing them to "develop and absorb" it
