Treasure Against Treasure

Being crouched and trapped in a cave passage, taking a beating, is no less dangerous than being ambushed while crouching in a toilet.

Sect Master Jieyin was not physically injured, his mind was bound to be in turmoil.

If he encountered an ordinary cultivator, the Sect Master Jieyin could have survived two blows and emerged at an equal footing, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan would never give the Sect Master Jieyin such an opportunity.

"Zhenyuan, you've gone too far!"

He was struck repeatedly and could not lift his body, and his physical body was even unable to move at all. The Sect Master Jieyin was furious.

Enduring the humiliation of being beaten was one thing, but the Sect Master Jieyin was certain that sooner or later he would find an opening in the attack to enter the stone chamber or retreat.

The real problem is that Bifeng Cave was destroyed by Divine Lord Zhenyuan and others. This means that the Western Sect's confidence in prolonging life and changing physical bodies has been discovered and even destroyed, which may cut off the two leaders' hope of continuing for a long time.

Having long roamed between the Immortal Court and the Heavenly Court as the second-in-command for millennia, maintaining a style of not offending either side, the Sect Master Jieyin never expected that this neutrality would be broken by the Divine Lord Zhenyuan, which in turn triggered problems such as antagonism with the Immortal Court.

He was both anxious and furious, his gaze almost burning Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

"You old codger, you really like to portray yourself as the victim, but that kind of rhetoric is completely useless. If we bumped into each other in a place like this, we'd definitely fight, and it wouldn't be a question of who would win!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan slammed his hands down repeatedly.

His technique excels at delivering heavy blows, rather than targeting specific points to break through the entire area. His repeated attacks on the Sect Master Jieyin only restricted his opponent without causing any serious injury.

If the new emperor were here, he could repeatedly strike a single point with his sword, thereby breaking through the protective measures that the Sect Master Jieyin was so proud of.

"If this old codger doesn't have any other trump cards, I can keep him here for at least two hours. Could you bring His Majesty over here?"

After briefly rebuking the Sect Master Jieyin, Divine Lord Zhenyuan determined that the terrain was sufficient to restrain him, and then discussed countermeasures with Zhang Xuezhou.

"He can't cross that windy area!"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, indicating that the new emperor's swordsmanship was sufficient, but not enough to get this far.

If Zhang Xuezhou wanted to dig a tunnel towards the Wind Cave, he didn't know how far it would take to reach it.

"That was truly a case of being both made and broken by the wind!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan had a slightly irritable temper. He had waited for the best opportunity to make a move. He hadn't even thought that the Sect Master Jieyin would be stuck in the passage that was dozens of feet deep and unable to move in or out. But apart from beating the other party to a pulp, Divine Lord Zhenyuan really didn't have any good way to defeat the enemy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially invited the new emperor over.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan's initial thought was simply to fight and vent his anger; he never imagined it would escalate to this point.

Judging from the current situation, either these two leaders must be completely overthrown, otherwise, once they catch their breath, Divine Lord Zhenyuan feels he will have no place to live.

He replied to Zhang Xuezhou, which again provoked the Sect Master Jieyin to curse him.

There will be very few cultivators qualified to compete here. The disadvantages of being caught in the tunnel are obvious, but this also ensures that the Sect Master Jieyin is only being beaten by Divine Lord Zhenyuan at the moment, and it is difficult for anyone else to interfere.

The Sect Master Jieyin hadn't expected there to be other cultivators inside the stone chamber. Just thinking about Vishnu, that blind fool, made him furious.

If Divine Lord Zhenyuan's attacks hadn't been so continuous, making it difficult for him to use his strength, the Sect Master Jieyin would have even considered cursing and killing Vishnu.

"The Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform is a supreme treasure from the primordial chaos of heaven and earth. It can freely absorb Spiritual Qi and resist all external attacks. The sect leader has accumulated countless amounts through years of sacrifices, making it virtually impossible to break through by brute force!"

The deep voice of the Buddha's disciple came, Sect Master Jieyin Amitabha sect was about to order him around, but as soon as he heard the Buddha's disciple's voice and felt a burning heat on his body, he knew that he could not order him around.

The other party's statement at this moment clearly showed that they had seen through his inability to control him using the Heart Sutra since he hadn't even punished Vishnu yet. Therefore, they described his situation and even attempted to launch an attack.

"But this treasure was nearly destroyed a thousand years ago when a demonic creature that could restrain it absorbed its spiritual essence. The sect leader used the Seven Treasures Thousand-Petaled Golden Lotus to repair this twelve-petaled golden lotus platform," said the Buddha's disciple.

"And then, where is the weakness of this tortoise shell?" Divine Lord Zhenyuan asked urgently.

"I don't know where the weakness is," the Buddha's disciple said, shaking his head.

"Then aren't you just talking nonsense?"

"We don't know where our weaknesses are, but there's one treasure we do know!"

"What treasure?"

"The Seven Treasures Tree!"

The Buddha's disciple stood up, gesturing as he looked at the Amitabha Buddha.

The Seven Treasures Tree and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform are similar treasures. The Seven Treasures Tree can hardly break the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform, but it can break through the flaws in the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform, thereby reducing the treasure's grade.

Even a fallen 12th-grade golden lotus platform can still withstand attacks, but it would be difficult to withstand an attack from someone at the level of Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

"Who will get it? Who knows how to use it!"

After a brief explanation, everyone learned how to restrain the Sect Master Jieyin.

"If you, benefactor, can go to Mount Ling and cause trouble, giving this humble monk a chance, I am willing to retrieve the Seven Treasures Tree and use it to knock down the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform, thereby breaking the power of this protective blue lotus!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan asked a question, and the Buddha's son immediately agreed.

"Tatakata, are you plotting a rebellion?"

Vishnu, who was standing nearby, was terrified.

While the three Buddhist disciples were still plotting to profit from a fake fight, the Buddha's disciples were already considering using someone else to do their dirty work.

"I think the saying 'Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?' makes a lot of sense. They are not born leaders and cannot always Gaogao and control our destiny. If they can become leaders, why can't we Buddhists become Buddhas and ancestors?"

The gaze of the Buddha's disciple was almost tangible.

There was no better opportunity than this. He didn't know the extent of Zhunti's injuries, but Sect Master Jieyin had already been subdued.

If he were to forcibly seize the Seven Treasures Tree and then pass through the Bifeng Cave, the Master Zhunti would be kept out.

After the twelfth-grade golden lotus platform is destroyed, not only will the Sect Master Jieyin become a prisoner, but the leader of the Zhunti will also lose his most powerful protection and will no longer be able to run rampant.

If the Seven Treasures Tree were lost as well, the injured Master Zhunti would be like a homeless dog, trembling with fear.

If these two leaders are handed over to the Immortal Court and Kunlun, this power struggle will surely end, and the two leaders will find it difficult to return to the Western Sect.

"Tatakata, you've gone mad! You've gone mad!"

Vishnu made a few feigned cries, but when the Buddha's son reminded the Sect Master Jieyin that he had suffered such a great loss and that if he had escaped successfully, Vishnu's false report would have resulted in a terrible fate, Vishnu stopped his feigned act.

"The Second Master was lying in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. He seemed to be truly failing. The Seven Treasures Tree was placed right next to the pool!"

Knowing that the Buddha's disciple had completely rebelled, Vishnu also revealed the information he had been carefully observing.

Thank you!

The Buddha's disciple clasped his hands together in thanks, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou.

"I am skilled in bone-shrinking techniques. Give me just a tiny passage, and I can squeeze through. If you give me even the slightest chance, I will destroy the Buddha and Arhats in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and then retrieve the Seven Treasures Tree!"

"Okay, sure!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded after a surprised expression.

Compared to the slippery bunch of Buddha Son Shigong, the Buddha's disciples truly rebelled as soon as their thoughts were clear, directly taking action and even directly intervening against the Sect Master Jieyin.

Anyone can talk big, but few people actually take action after making empty threats.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Vishnu and realized that it was not unreasonable that Vishnu and the other two Buddhas could only contend with the Buddha's disciples when they joined forces; the execution capabilities of the two sides were simply not on the same level.
