According to the information from the Willow Tree, as stated on the scroll.
The Xu Clan used their Ancestral Soul to successfully reincarnate their ancestor Xu Youming. After accumulating a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he has successfully returned to his peak.
Xuanyuan Clan Xuanyuan Tianzhao, the first owner of the Xuanyuan Sword, also condensed his physical body with the Great Dao of Sword Intent from the Xuanyuan Clan Sword Tomb, transforming it into a sword body to guard the Xuanyuan Clan once again.
In the deepest part of the Qingming Sea on the Qingming Continent, a primordial alien species, Mo Lin, possessing the bloodline of the Qingming Dark Serpent and the strongest bloodline of the human race, has appeared in the world.
Dugu Jue, during the most prosperous period of the Heavenly Mystery Continent, single-handedly fought against many forces on the Cangxuan Continent with his sword. He was considered one of the most outstanding sword cultivators after the Azure Cloud Sword Master, along with Xuanyuan Tianzhao.
In the Devil Beast Continent, all Four Great Beast Clans have awakened their beast souls. The beast souls of the Four Great Beast Clans merge and condense into the Four Symbols Divine Beast, which can destroy half a continent with a single kick.
Based on this intelligence alone...
Mu Fusheng then realized that it was reasonable for the Divine Realm to be wary of the Chaos Realm.
Judging solely from their previous apparent strength, the Chaos Realm was far inferior to the Divine Realm.
Moreover, what truly worries Mu Fusheng about Ning Chenxin is...
Ning Chenxin and the Buddhist disciple preached the Dharma together.
Beside them was a taboo figure within the Buddhist Sect.
Bitter Zen Devil Buddha.
Based on the information Liu Ziru had gathered over the past few days, he gained an understanding of the High Antiquity times of the Chaos Realm.
This Bitter Zen Devil Buddha is a traitor to the Buddhist Sect.
Originally the head of the Cihang Hall of the Buddhist Sect, he became demonic due to his excessive pursuit of power and his comprehension of Inverse Buddhist Scripture Demonization, which led to his expulsion from the Buddhist Sect Buddhist Sect. Later, he was hunted down by various abbots of the Buddhist Sect for practicing the method of devouring souls.
I thought his soul had dissipated, but according to the Willow Tree's perception, it was just a feigned death to escape. Now he has returned with a vengeance, seemingly targeting the Buddha's disciple.
Since Ning Chenxin is traveling with the Buddhist disciple, being targeted by Evil Cultivator like the Bitter Zen Devil Cultivator is an extremely dangerous situation.
After informing Xu Yeming and Huang Qian about this, Mu Fusheng led Jiu Bailu and Liu Ziru to the western part of the Cangxuan Continent, to the Buddhist Sect territory.
now.
Buddhist Sect is a thing of the past.
Even the number of people who believe in the Buddhist Sect has decreased significantly.
In a remote city.
After Ning Chenxin finished preaching in the city, the Buddhist disciple stood beside him with his hands clasped together and said, "Amitabha, Brother Ning's preaching has deeply moved me as well."
Ning Chenxin nodded and smiled lightly, " The Buddhist Sect path also has aspects that Chenxin can understand. All the ways of the world, though different in their starting points, will eventually converge on the same destination."
"That makes sense," the Buddhist disciple agreed. "Alright, there are two more villages nearby. After we finish spreading the word, the Buddhist Sect community here should be cleared."
The Buddhist Sect had committed many sins in the past, so after the Buddhist Sect destruction, these karmic obstacles permeated the area surrounding Buddhist Sect.
Such profound karmic energy had a deep impact on the city and villages, and many people even succumbed to its power and became possessed by demons...
Now, the Buddhist disciple and Ning Chenxin are doing just that.
At this point, the Buddhist monk clasped his hands together towards Ning Chenxin, his expression solemn, and said, "Thank you, Brother Ning. If it weren't for you, this humble monk alone would probably have needed to spend even more time."
Ning Chenxin, carrying a book basket, smiled modestly, "This matter is somewhat related to me. Since I'm involved in this cause and effect, I naturally have to resolve it."
"Besides, this is something I've always wanted to do."
The Buddhist monk nodded. "Brother Ning, please."
Ning Chenxin also gestured for them to follow, and the two walked together toward a village.
But.
When they arrived at the nearby village, their expressions changed drastically.
The entire village was shrouded in a black aura, filled with sinister energy.
The villagers, dressed in simple clothes, lay on the ground, looking like skin and bones, their faces filled with terror.
Most importantly, even their souls have vanished.
"Who on earth is so cruel? They don't even spare ordinary mortals?" Ning Chenxin's face was grim.
"This is clearly the work of Evil Cultivator..." The Buddhist disciple also put his hands together and said, "A soul-devouring evil technique... Does this Evil Cultivator even want to absorb the souls of ordinary mortals?"
Ordinary mortals' souls are inherently weak, and absorbing a soul of this level wouldn't significantly improve their strength.
Only an extremely wicked person would do such a thing.
"Oh? They've finally arrived."
Then a voice appeared.
Ning Chenxin immediately recited the Nine-Character Mantra, and Divine General appeared.
The Buddhist disciple clasped his hands together, his golden radiance illuminating heaven and earth!
Both of them looked upwards.
On a stone house in the village, a bald old man dressed in a dark red robe sat atop it, with the Buddhist Sect prayer beads around his neck, while his hand held the head of another old man.
The old man struggled incessantly, his face filled with terror, his mouth agape but unable to utter a sound.
He could only watch helplessly as the bald old man absorbed his soul.
"Why would you do such a thing, benefactor?" The Buddhist disciple frowned at the bald old man, who, judging from his appearance, seemed to be a member of the Buddhist Sect as well. "You should belong to the Buddhist Sect community. How could a member of the Buddhist Sect community do such a thing?"
"Buddha?" The bald old man covered his face and laughed maniacally. "Who said I am a member of the Buddhist Sect? The Buddhist Sect is nothing but a bunch of stubborn old fogies who are stuck in their ways. They clearly have a deeper foundation than anyone else, but they don't make use of it."
They could have relied on their deep foundation to firmly establish themselves at the top of the Chaos Realm, where everyone could then practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures. Instead, they have to feign compassion all day long. I disdain associating with such a Buddhist Sect sect.
Ning Chenxin looked at the Buddhist disciple, frowned, and asked, "Is he a member of your Buddhist Sect? Does your Buddhist Sect have such a person?"
The Buddhist disciple looked deep in thought, as if he had thought of something, but the more he thought about it, the more his pupils trembled.
Seeing the Buddhist disciple's expression, the bald old man sneered, "It seems I've also left a significant mark on the Buddhist Sect scriptures."
" The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha? How is that possible!" The Buddhist disciple, unusually losing his composure, exclaimed in disbelief, "Weren't you already killed by the combined forces of the Buddhist Sect in High Antiquity times?"
Figures from High Antiquity times?
Ning Chenxin looked at the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha with a solemn expression.
Having lived for so long... this person's strength has probably reached the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm, making them someone they cannot deal with.
The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha sneered, "Kill by shock? It's just a feigned death to escape. How could I die so easily? I originally planned to destroy Buddhist Sect after I finished my cultivation, but now it seems... there's no need for that."
The Buddhist Sect has been wiped out by Lu Changsheng.
"However, it's fortunate you're still alive." The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha stared at the Buddha's disciple, a greedy glint in his eyes. "Once I obtain the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira within you, I will be able to completely break free of my shackles, and at that time, no one in the Six Realms will be my match."
The Buddhist disciple clasped his hands together and said, "Relics are the most precious treasures of the Buddhist Sect, and they never belong to anyone. Since the Demon Buddha has already fallen into demonic possession, it is naturally impossible for him to obtain these relics."
The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha laughed loudly, "If I were to make a move, how could you possibly stop me?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha grasped at the air between the Buddha's disciple and Ning Chenxin.
The massive black mist then enveloped the two of them!
However, just as they were about to trap Ning Chenxin and the other person...
A flame, seemingly capable of incinerating everything, fell from the sky and burned away the black mist!
