This kind of force is relatively rare in Lai Province, because they are usually focused on breaking through their own cultivation level.
They hoped that one day a Quasi-Saint would be born, allowing the sect's power to reach near-first-tier status.
This allows them to acquire more resources, and their disciples often gain experience in various parts of Lai Province.
The so-called Third-rate forces refer to blessed lands where Taiyi Golden Immortal is stationed.
Third-rate forces have become the dominant force in Lai Province. They usually occupy a single prefecture or kingdom and hold a dominant position within that prefecture or kingdom.
Disciples usually train within the prefecture. The three forces in our Daning Commandery Kingdom are merely insignificant in Lai Province.
Don't be fooled by our impressive appearances in public; within Lai Province, we're not even Third-rate force.
Among the Third-rate forces, Li Jianxin belonged to the Tianmen Sword Pavilion.
Tianmen Sword Pavilion is an unparalleled power, with Taiyi Golden Immortal presiding over it.
The disciples of the Tianmen Sword Pavilion are all cultivators who practice the way of the Sword Dao, and they usually live in seclusion in blessed lands.
However, once they are born, they can awe the Boundless Wilderness. Many major events in the Boundless Wilderness are carried out by the disciples of the Tianmen Sword Pavilion.
Furthermore, the elders within the sect are extremely protective of their own, and any opponent who is hostile to the sect is often subjected to indiscriminate attacks by the Tianmen Sword Pavilion.
Falu is a Evil Monk, and his sect is no clean place either.
His sect was called the Ten-Faced Buddha Kingdom, Third-rate power that occupied an entire prefecture on its own.
All beings in the Buddha Kingdom, regardless of gender, age, status, or origin, are forced to believe in the Buddha Kingdom doctrines.
If the Sword Pavilion can still exert its influence by occupying a single prefecture, then there is no other force within the Ten-Faced Buddha Kingdom.
Only countless beings who believe in the teachings of the Buddha Kingdom.
These beings have been ruled by the Buddha Kingdom for generations, and have believed in the Buddha Kingdom teachings for countless lifetimes.
In his heart, he already revered cultivators like Falu as true immortals and Buddhas.
Under long-term brainwashing and poisoning, believers have been donating their hard-earned money to the Buddha Kingdom for many years.
Although there are countless believers in the Buddha Kingdom, they toil all day long, are poorly clothed, and lack food. When they are sick, they only know to go to the temples of the Buddha Kingdom to ask for talismanic water.
Some believers sold their possessions just to have clay sculptures Golden Body; others sold their wives and children just to obtain a single Buddhist verse from a disciple.
As a result, although there were many believers in the Buddha Kingdom, they were all extremely poor.
The Buddha Kingdom monks, supported by the offerings of their followers, lived lives of extreme luxury and indulgence.
Is this Buddha Kingdom truly for the salvation of all beings, or is it merely a means to Wuxian amplify their desires?
Let them remain trapped here generation after generation, never to escape this sea of suffering!
Yun Feng's words contained a Zen-like quality, but upon hearing them, Xu Long felt a chill run down his spine, as if haunted by a demon.
If this is the doctrine of the so-called Ten-Faced Buddha Kingdom, is it truly Buddha Kingdom? Or is it more like a scene from Hell on earth?
This perpetual rule has robbed believers of their ability to think, leaving them only to mindlessly worship gods and Buddhas.
How are they any different from those beasts in their behavior?
How is the behavior of the Buddha Kingdom monks any different from that of Hell demons?
Everyone only sees the prosperity of the Buddha Kingdom, but who sees the devotees who are like cattle and horses?
On those tall, magnificent Golden Body, among those solemn and dignified idols, are there not countless tears and blood of believers?
The Ten-Faced Buddha Kingdom is just like the Avici Hell!
Buddhist monks and practitioners are just like those evil demons and Rakshasa!
It is precisely because of the offerings of countless believers that the monks in the Buddha Kingdom are able to possess countless magical treasures.
Yun Feng's words left everyone feeling a sense of unease; it seemed the forces within the Earth Realm were not to be trifled with.
The cultivators in the Boundless Wilderness fared somewhat better, as they were merely fighting alongside ferocious beast clans.
Yet that Buddha Kingdom, Third-rate power, was hosting a Hell event on earth.
Xu Long mind still lingering on Yun Feng's words, pondered the words within his cheek pouch. It was clear that Falu was a Evil Monk.
He feigned a sycophantic attitude in front of Li Jianxin, but in reality, he wanted to use the Yin-Yang Cauldron technique!
After hearing Yun Feng's words, everyone fell silent.
Lai Province is so vast that the sect I belong to can only be considered second-rate.
The forces vying with them for this opportunity have Taiyi Golden Immortal residing within their sect.
The sect leader had made preparations before the trip to the Vast Sea, and now it seems that his actions were not unfounded; the sect leader had clearly considered many things.
At this moment, everyone recalled Yun Feng's earlier words, "Advance when there is profit, retreat when there is no profit."
This must have been a prediction left to them by the sect leader...
After careful consideration, the disciples of Jade Screen did not succumb to despair.
After all, having gone through the selection process, they were clearly the most promising disciples in the sect.
The sect leader and his generation were able to bring glory to the Jade Screen Sect School, and Yun Feng and others are determined to develop the sect in the same way.
This is their responsibility as core disciples; to keep moving forward and expanding themselves amidst overwhelming adversity is the mark of a true strongman.
Despite Yun Feng's explanation of Li Jianxin and Falu's origins, Xu Long still felt somewhat uneasy.
Because he knew that this trip to the Vast Sea involved more than just the Tianmen Sword Pavilion and the Ten-Faced Buddha Kingdom.
There is also a hidden force at the edge of the Vast Sea.
Although the disciples of the Sword Pavilion and the Buddha Kingdom are powerful, they are all in the open, while the hidden person is in the shadows.
This is what Xu Long is truly worried about.
This trip to the Vast Sea has clearly exceeded everyone's expectations. In this turbulent vortex, Xu Long felt for the first time how insignificant he was.
Just as ordinary people look up at the sky, they can never see the azure sky amidst the thick sea of clouds.
Ten-Faced Buddha Kingdom, Tianmen Sword Pavilion, Hidden Forces, Duck Beast King, Saint Daoist Sanctuary...
As a series of forces intertwined, Xu Long suddenly recalled the scene of his divination before his departure.
He had discovered that he was deeply embroiled in a massive conspiracy.
There seems to be an unseen hand stirring up this body of water.
He can only fight his way out of the Sea of Suffering and Calamity and rely on his own strength to break this conspiracy!
While Xu Long and Yun Feng were communicating telepathically, He Huaibao, located in the center of his cheek pouch, was pondering something else entirely.
He originally planned to attack the Jade Screen Sect School after disappearing into the sea.
However, Li Jianxin and Falu arrived in the Vast Sea ahead of him, which undoubtedly thwarted his plans.
He no longer wanted to get entangled with Xu Long and the others, fearing that they would waste time in the Vast Sea.
Li Jianxin and Falu have impressive backgrounds and may possess some secret methods.
If the heirloom is truly lost, then the ancestor's entrustment will also be in vain.
At that time, there will be no need to return to the blessed land; the things you carry alone will be enough to devour you alive!
But letting Xu Long and the others go like this would be letting them off too easily.
Although there are water-repelling pills underwater, what if they separate?
He Huaibao narrowed his eyes, a deep smile appearing on his mature face.
He sat cross-legged in the center of his cheek pouch with his eyes closed, as if he were concentrating on matters concerning the water, one hand slowly stroking the golden brass ring between his knuckles.
Waaah!
The sound beside his ear suddenly became short and sharp, and Xu Long's closed eyes snapped open.
He Huaibao was in the center, also woke up in an instant, and he communicated with the aquatic beast once again.
He then had the ferocious beast change direction again, and then led Xu Long and his group into the depths of the Vast Sea.
After hearing the short, sharp sound, Xu Long guessed that the aquatic beast had probably reached the bottom of the sea.
However, at this moment, He Huaibao did not allow the aquatic beast to open its huge mouth and release everyone. Instead, he continued to urge the beast to sink.
Xu Long, inside the cheek pouch, became secretly alert, but at this moment he was inside the cheek pouch of a ferocious beast.
He clearly couldn't control He Huaibao's every move, so he had no choice but to swallow the water-repelling pills from the jade bottle beforehand.
After the ferocious beast had traveled some distance, He Huaibao Xiu seemed to sense something, and his expression changed slightly in the darkness.
Then, the copper ring on the joint was rotated a few times, and the ferocious aquatic beast in the seabed immediately flipped itself over.
The people inside the cheek pouch suddenly staggered, as if they couldn't stand steadily, and began to tumble inside the cheek pouch.
Before the dizzying sensation had subsided, a salty, fishy smell wafted into everyone's nostrils once more.
Xu Long immediately used his Magic Power to refine the pill he had just swallowed, which was still inside his cheek pouch.
Before one could even experience the effects of the medicine, the salty, fishy smell was instantly replaced by a surge of seawater.
Xu Long channeled golden light into his cheek pouch, and a bright light instantly appeared before his eyes.
But the light entered with the water flow, and I watched as the light flashed before my eyes.
Xu Long was unaware of the impending disaster; He Huaibao was clearly planning to drown them all at the bottom of the sea.
But this was something that had been expected, and the people inside the cheek pouches were not particularly alarmed.
Upon seeing the crack, each person channeled their Magic Power within their body.
After the pills they had just consumed were refined, everyone was surprised to find themselves walking on land as if they were on the seabed.
Luo Huayu was the first to act. After the light appeared, she quickly Yunmo into the distance.
The group from Jade Screen behind followed suit, but at that moment, the He Huaibao in the cheek pouch smiled slightly.
The copper rings between the joints floated up, and the aquatic beast, which was diving, suddenly stopped.
Its enormous form, which resembled a train as it swam along the seabed, suddenly came to a stop, causing everyone to be violently thrown into their cheek pouches.
Before they could react, the light that had been opening and closing suddenly shone brightly again.
Everyone felt a strong suction force pulling them into the salty seawater, and they were violently slapped around in the water.
Unable to withstand the suction force, people were thrown about, but at that moment, He Huaibao behind them uttered a single word:
"Imperial Edict!"
After that word was uttered, the massive amount of seawater that had surged in was instantly blasted out by a Super Strength.
A violent roar came from beside my ears, and the seawater was compressed into more than a dozen streams by a surging force.
The people were separated by the sea, and in the chaos, they could not find each other.
Amidst a surge of water, Yun Feng couldn't help but curse He Huaibao for his despicable behavior.
This plan is to disperse the Jade Screen disciples one by one, and then defeat them one by one in the perilous Vast Sea.
They have now lost contact with each other, and if they encounter a powerful enemy, they will almost certainly not be able to teleport out unscathed.
Yun Feng's curses were naturally not heard by He Huaibao, who had already withdrawn from the pouch.
The aquatic beasts and monsters of the sea were particularly jubilant, under the control of He Huaibao.
The ferocious beast raised its enormous head and swung it violently towards the trench beneath it.
Splash!
A splashing sound came from beneath him as Xu Long's body was compressed together by the seawater and waves.
As the sound of splashing water grew more frequent, the light inside the cheek pouches also became brighter.
Suddenly, a tremendous force came from behind, and Xu Long, caught in the compression of energy, was instantly thrown back by the Super Strength.
A "whoosh" sound echoed in his mind, and Xu Long instantly felt his body being thrown away almost uncontrollably.
A dozen or so streams of seawater were flung out from his cheek pouches in an instant, and the cultivator amidst the waves instantly transformed into a trail of splashing water.
Countless bubbles were generated along the trajectory, and as more than a dozen bubble tracks appeared on the seabed, the ferocious aquatic beast behind them swung its tail once more.
Its long tail swept fiercely across the dozen or so sprays of water, and a dark shadow suddenly rose up amidst the spray.
Just like the swirling ribbon of water, a "splashing" sound echoed across the seabed, accompanied by the popping of countless bubbles.
After the dark figure was pulled out, the dozen or so bubbles that had just been flung out were instantly separated.
Xu Long felt a Super Strength pushing him back, carrying countless waves of water that slammed into his back again.
Although there was no danger of drowning in the sea, the impact of this Super Strength suddenly ripped Xu Long's internal organs out of his chest.
The immense pain caused him to furrow his brow underwater, while he remained wary of the underwater world beyond his cheek pouches.
Xu Long knew that He Huaibao had released them out of the cheek pouch, but when they turned around, they would inevitably be attacked by the ferocious aquatic beasts.
In the rush, the group couldn't reunite and could only let that fellow do as he pleased.
Meanwhile, at the He Huaibao saw that everyone had been separated, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.
He originally intended to severely injure them on the seabed, but at this moment he had more important things to do.
Therefore, the only option is to separate them, and if they encounter each other somewhere, they can be defeated one by one.
When he saw a huge black shadow turn over, He Huaibao's eyes flashed and he looked towards a certain direction on the seabed.
With a casual gesture, the shadowy figure enveloped his body, lifting him up in a long trail of bubbly water, and vanished from the seabed in an instant.
After sliding rapidly down the water for a distance, Xu Long finally managed to regain his balance.
The Magic Power within his body was circulated and regulated, and the internal organs in his heart cavity finally returned to normal.
He Huaibao is truly cunning; it's likely that he's already prepared to attack like a ferocious beast hidden in his cheek pouch.
Having separated everyone, he must have already gone elsewhere to compete for the underwater treasure.
When they stopped in the Vast Sea, Xu Long couldn't help but take a closer look at this mysterious body of water.
He was at the bottom of a trench, his body covered in mud and sand.
Over countless years, the influx of water has resulted in extremely deep sediment deposits at the bottom of the trench.
Xu Long's body was buried in this thick mud and sand.
After he struggled free, he looked up and was surprised to find that the sunlight from the sky was clearly visible on the seabed.
When those golden rays shone down onto the sea, they actually formed a scene like a rainbow.
He had assumed there was no light in the deep sea, but he was surprised.
The golden light illuminated the entire sea area, making it as bright as an exquisite palace.
Even with the clear light shining into the seabed, Xu Long still felt that the place was too quiet, even giving off a sense of desolation and decay.
