Wensong, Take Me to Your Enemy!

One thousand two hundred and seventy-six halos of the Great Dao spread out behind Lu Qing'an. None of them were particularly dazzling, yet they made the entire mountaintop eerily quiet.

These Great Dao are interconnected yet independent. The Five Elements are the foundation, space is responsible for bearing them, time runs through them, cause and effect connect them, and the Great Dao life and death, reincarnation, destiny, creation, and destruction are distributed in a deeper depth.

Lu Qing'an himself couldn't explain what level of attainment this was.

Because no one in the Hongmeng Holy Realm had ever reached this point before.

He was still Great Dao Realm Great Dao Realm, but those three words carried completely different meanings for him compared to others.

Lu Qing'an did not immediately test his strength.

When he first cultivated five Great Dao, he used a million times his strength to frighten the Nether Emperor into refusing to accept his challenge. Now that all of his more than a thousand Great Dao have been completed, he himself has no idea what will happen if he extracts another million times his strength.

If you really want to try, you can't do it at the Nether Emperor Holy Sect.

There are still so many people here.

If she loses control and wipes out the sect with a single slap, Luo Qiushan would probably fight her to the death.

Lu Qing'an concealed his aura.

The Great Dao halos of light faded away, one after another disappearing into the body. As the last halo of reincarnation vanished, the invisible pressure finally dissipated.

Not far away, Li Wensong remained standing still.

He had known Lu Qing'an for a long time and had long known that this Brother Lu couldn't be judged by normal standards.

But today, he was still a little dazed.

One thousand two hundred and seventy-six Great Dao.

It's really all finished.

Back in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, he only thought that Lu Qing'an was likely the reincarnation of a powerful being who cultivated the Great Dao of Reincarnation. Later, when he came to the Hongmeng Holy Realm, he personally witnessed Lu Qing'an cultivate all the rules to perfection.

Even back then, Li Wensong never dared to imagine that he would one day witness such a scene.

All the Great Dao.

Not one is missing.

Lu Qing'an turned to look at him and found that the guy was still in a daze, so he raised his hand and waved it.

What are you thinking about?

Li Wensong snapped out of his daze, and a slow smile spread across his face.

I'm thinking about something.

"What?"

"If Duer knew who I brought back this time, I wonder if he would still be able to laugh."

Lu Qing'an smiled too.

After that laugh, the previously heavy atmosphere caused by the gathering of all the Daoists immediately eased considerably.

Lu Qing'an walked to the stone table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Speaking of which..."

"You should take care of your business now."

The smile on Li Wensong's face gradually faded.

Lu Qing'an looked up at him. "Where is the Great Brahma Buddha Sect?"

Li Wensong did not answer immediately.

It's not that I don't want revenge.

But now that the moment has actually arrived, it feels unreal.

When he escaped from the Great Brahma Buddha Sect, the Great Dao Sacred Origin was destroyed, the cause and effect were lost, and his origin was almost completely burned out. At that time, his greatest wish was not revenge, but to survive.

To leave the Hongmeng Holy Realm alive.

I'll come back sometime if I have the chance.

But as the years went by, he became increasingly clear that the so-called future might never come.

Duer grew stronger and stronger.

The Great Brahma Buddha Sect did not decline.

Instead, they became a true giant in the Hongmeng Holy Realm.

He was trapped in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, unable to even cultivate the Great Dao again.

The gap between the two sides will only widen.

Until I met Lu Qing'an.

Li Wensong remained silent for a moment, then sat down opposite the stone table.

"The Westernmost Buddhist Domain."

Is it far from here?

"At the average Great Dao Realm's speed, it would take several years. As for you now..."

Li Wensong thought about it.

"It's hard to say."

Lu Qing'an nodded. "Then there's no need to say anything."

"Lead the way directly."

Li Wensong was taken aback.

"Now?"

Is there anything else?

"No."

"I don't either."

Lu Qing'an finished his tea and put the teacup back on the table.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Li Wensong looked at him and finally let out a long sigh.

"Good."

After uttering that one word, he seemed to suddenly feel much more relaxed.

Some things have been piling up for too long.

When it's truly over, there's no need to hesitate any longer.

The two had just gotten up.

The Nether Emperor then walked over from a distance.

Where are you going?

Lu Qing'an didn't hide it from him.

"The Great Brahma Buddha Sect."

The Nether Emperor paused slightly.

Then he looked at Li Wensong.

"Revenge?"

"Um."

Li Wensong nodded.

The Nether Emperor seemed unsurprised.

Some time ago, he already knew about the matter between Li Wensong and the Great Brahma Buddha Sect from the Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect.

"The Great Brahma Buddha Sect currently has four Buddha masters."

"Duer is just one of them."

The Nether Emperor said, "The strongest one hasn't made a move for many years. I've met him a few times before, and he's quite powerful."

Lu Qing'an asked, "Stronger than you?"

The Nether Emperor remained silent for a moment.

"About the same as before."

It's unclear at the moment.

That's pretty strong.

Lu Qing'an became slightly more serious.

The Nether Emperor continued, "Moreover, the truly troublesome aspect of the Great Brahma Buddha Sect is not those few Buddhas."

"It's the power of will."

"The Westernmost Buddhist Domain has countless believers."

"Those people have been followers of the Great Brahma Buddha Sect for too long. Once the Buddhist Sect truly activates its protective array, the power of the vows of all beings in the entire Buddhist realm will be mobilized."

"At that time, you won't be facing just a few Great Dao Realm."

"It is a vast whole that has accumulated over countless years."

Upon hearing this, Li Wensong's expression also became more serious.

This is one of the reasons why he hasn't been in a hurry to take revenge.

The roots of the Great Brahma Buddha Sect are very deep.

Killing one of the Duer is easy.

It's very difficult to truly shake the entire sect.

Moreover, most of the ordinary believers are unaware of what the Great Brahma Buddha Sect is doing behind the scenes.

They are simply Buddhists.

If Lu Qing'an were to destroy the entire Westernmost Buddhist Domain, the number of deaths would likely be countless.

Lu Qing'an had also thought of this.

"Can those believers sever ties with the Buddhist Sect?"

The Nether Emperor glanced at him.

"It used to be very difficult."

"You should be able to now."

"I?"

"Cause and effect."

The Nether Emperor said, "The power of will is itself a form of cause and effect."

"Believers pray, Buddhist Sect receives the power of those prayers, and then offers so-called protection. This back-and-forth is cause and effect."

"I cannot fathom the extent to which you have cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect."

"But at least severing the connection of vows between ordinary believers and the Great Brahma Buddha Sect should not be difficult."

Lu Qing'an's eyes lit up slightly.

That makes things easier.

If a real fight breaks out, what he's most worried about isn't how strong the Great Brahma Buddha Sect is.

Rather, there are too many innocent people involved.

Remove those people first.

The rest is simple.

"Are you going, senior?"

The Nether Emperor looked at him. "What am I supposed to do there?"

"Let's see what the fuss is about."

"..."

Have you been with the Heavenly Dao of Fire for too long?

The Nether Emperor ultimately shook his head.

"This is Li Wensong's own karma."

"It's best if you go with him."

"I won't go."

Lu Qing'an didn't insist.

Li Wensong then took out a black jade pendant that had not been used for a long time.

The surface of the jade plaque has become somewhat worn.

A tiny Buddha character is engraved in the center.

Lu Qing'an glanced at it.

"Their stuff?"

"I snatched it from a Buddhist cultivator at the Great Dao Realm."

Li Wensong stroked the jade tablet, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "It contains the spatial coordinates of the Westernmost Buddhist Domain."

"I never threw it away before."

Lu Qing'an smiled.

"It seems you've been wanting to go back for a while now."

"Wanting to go back and daring to go back are two different things."

Li Wensong said self-deprecatingly, "I didn't dare before."

"And now?"

Li Wensong looked up.

"Now I have someone backing me up."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Lu Qing'an patted him on the shoulder.

I like hearing that.

The Great Dao of Space is in operation.

A silvery-white light spread from beneath Lu Qing'an's feet.

He instantly captured the coordinates within the black jade tablet.

In the past, crossing such a vast distance would have required multiple space jumps.

But not now.

The Great Dao of Space itself was already within him.

Distance is just a concept.

Lu Qing'an raised his hand and made a light sweeping motion in front of him.

A spatial passage slowly appeared.

The other end of the passage.

Golden light filled the sky.

A faint, deep chime could still be heard.

Li Wensong stood in front of the passageway.

I looked at it for a long time.

Take one more step forward.

That's the place that made him flee for countless years.

Lu Qing'an did not urge him.

I've been waiting.

A dozen or so breaths later.

Li Wensong smiled.

"Brother Lu."

Let's go.

"Go back and settle the accounts."

The two stepped into the spatial passage side by side.

The Westernmost Buddhist Domain.

There are no towering mountains like those of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect here, nor are there thunderclouds filling the sky in the Lightning Domain.

As far as the eye can see, almost everything is gold.

Temples and pagodas stand tall amidst the mountains and rivers. Monks often fly overhead on lotus platforms, and many ordinary believers can be seen on the ground.

And at the very center of the entire Buddhist realm.

A massive golden Buddha Mountain pierces the sky.

At the summit, a colossal Buddha, so tall that its head is almost invisible, sits cross-legged between heaven and earth.

The giant Buddha's eyes were slightly closed.

One hand rests on the knee.

His other hand was held upright in front of his chest.

Just looking at it from afar can evoke an urge to worship it.

The moment Li Wensong stepped out of the spatial passage, his gaze fell upon the giant Buddha.

The smile on his face vanished completely.

"Still looks the same."

Lu Qing'an followed his gaze.

"The Great Brahma Buddha Sect?"

"Um."

Where is Duer?

Li Wensong shook his head.

"Have no idea."

"But there's a way to get him out."

After saying that.

Li Wensong took a step forward.

A gray-white halo of causality slowly unfolded behind him.

After the reappearance of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, this was the first time he had truly returned to the Great Brahma Buddha Sect School.

Li Wensong took a deep breath.

The sound then traveled along the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, spreading throughout the entire Westernmost Buddhist Domain.

" To Duer."

"An old friend is back."

The sound wasn't loud.

But when the last word fell...

Atop the golden Buddha Mountain in the distance.

Giant Buddha.

I opened my eyes.

The moment the giant Buddha opened its eyes, the entire Westernmost Buddhist Domain fell silent for a moment.

Countless monks who were chanting sutras raised their heads.

The mountain bells stopped ringing.

Lotus platforms hovered in mid-air in the sky.

Even the ordinary believers seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked towards Buddha Mountain.

The next moment, a golden beam of Buddhist light rose from the mountaintop.

Amidst the Buddha's light, a middle-aged monk dressed in a white robe slowly appeared.

There are no ordination scars on his head.

There's nothing particularly special about his appearance.

It even appears quite mild-mannered.

He stood in the center of the Buddha's light, his gaze piercing through the vast distance before finally landing on Li Wensong.

A few moments of silence followed.

He laughed.

"So it was you."

Li Wensong smiled too.

"Surprised?"

"Really."

The Buddha Venerable Du'e clasped his hands together in prayer.

"This humble monk thought you had already died outside."

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Not disappointed.

Duer said calmly, "All living beings have their own karma. Your return here today means that there is still a karmic connection between us that is not yet resolved."

Li Wensong was delighted to hear this.

"So many years."

You still like to spout this nonsense.

Duer was not angry.

His gaze quickly shifted to Lu Qing'an.

This time.

The smile on her face faded slightly.

"Mr. Lu."

Lu Qing'an was a little surprised.

Do you know me?

"In the past six months, there should be very few people in the Hongmeng Holy Realm who don't know Benefactor Lu."

Duer said, "One thousand two hundred and seventy-six Great Dao, the first of its kind throughout history. Although I have long resided in the Buddhist realm, I have heard of them."

Lu Qing'an nodded.

No need for introduction.

"Since we know each other, things are simple."

Duer did not respond.

Lu Qing'an pointed at Li Wensong.

"His things."

"Give it back."

Duer looked at Li Wensong.

"Is what Benefactor Lu referring to the missing piece of cause and effect from back then?"

"Right."

What if this humble monk does not return it?

"Then let's talk."

Duer smiled.

How to chat?

Lu Qing'an smiled too.

"It depends on whether you prefer a literary or a physical conversation."

Li Wensong stood to the side, and the sounds seemed somewhat familiar.

It seems that Brother Lu has been following this approach when he's been searching for the Heavenly Dao these days.

Let's talk this out properly first.

That makes sense.

Everyone is comfortable.

That doesn't make sense.

Let's try a more easily understandable approach.

Duer did not rush to express his opinion.

Instead, he looked at Li Wensong.

"Back then, you stormed my Buddhist Sect sect's branch altar, killed Buddhist disciples, and destroyed the Vow Power Array."

"This humble monk will spare your life, but will sever the very foundation of your Great Dao."

"That's already considered compassionate."
