Chapter 2327: Chapter 2272–2273: Buddhism School’s Retaliation; Divine Continent Situation (2)

The Reincarnation Path itself is part of the Great Tao of the Buddhism School and can be said to be a vital foundation of Buddhism. Originally, the Buddhism School coveted the Nether Yin Department and always wanted to intervene.

It is simply because of the existence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch and the suppression by various strong figures within the Yin Department that the Buddhism School has never had the opportunity to truly interfere. Even so, over the ten thousand years, the Buddhism School has continuously made moves in the Netherworld.

The recent calamity faced by King Zhuanlun is not good news for the Buddhism School. If he certifies as a Taoist Monarch, it would mean increased power for the Yin Department, resulting in greater challenges for their future interventions.

At the same time, they do not wish for another wielder of the Laws of Reincarnation to emerge who is not a Buddhist strong figure.

Regarding the one in the Nether Yin Department who took action, it is naturally Lady Pingxin.

Though it is said that Lady Pingxin rarely shows up in the Nether Yin Department and does not get involved in the disputes of the Divine Land World or even the Realms of Heavenly Seas, it doesn’t mean she is indifferent to her own interests.

This time, King Zhuanlun certifying as a Taoist Monarch implies having a formidable rival on the Reincarnation Path, one who threatens her interests.

“However, it seems that the Witch Deity Teaching’s key members are determined to help this King Zhuanlun. No matter how many people make their moves, these Ancestor Witches from the Witch Deity Teaching do not relent but go all out to aid and obstruct.” Yu Zhenzi commented.

Even though the calamity during Tao Certifying is extremely powerful, with strong figures from the Heavenly Court, Buddhism School, and Yin Department all taking action, the Ancestor Witches from the Witch Deity Teaching are not to be trifled with and do not back down.

The Witch God Sect Leader, Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, and Fire Virtue Star Lord all successively took action, and although the Hou Tu Ancestor Witch did not personally take action, she prevented several Taoist Monarchs from stepping forward.

“It seems King Zhuanlun must have reached some cooperation with the Witch Deity Teaching, advancing and retreating together. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the case.” Pang Hong chuckled and said.

Without needing any evidence, simply judging from the performance of the key members of the Witch Deity Teaching, it’s clear that King Zhuanlun reached some agreements with the Witch Deity Teaching.

If not, given the character of those key members of the Witch Deity Teaching, how could they exert such efforts?

Even when trading a Star Lord Divine Position in the past, although there were some agreements, it didn’t warrant such actions by these members.

The true reason can only be an even deeper agreement binding them together, which is why they would commit so much.

“Should we investigate the details of their cooperation?” Yu Zhenzi asked.

Currently, the Witch Deity Teaching has numerous strong figures. Adding a King Zhuanlun who wields the Laws of Reincarnation will undoubtedly enhance their strength, potentially becoming a formidable adversary that must be guarded against.

According to logic, the secret agreements among Taoist Monarchs are beyond the reach of ordinary True Immortals, but the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and Bai Xiaosheng Organization specialize in this area. Anyone willing to pay enough can buy any secret.

“There’s no need for that, unnecessary. We can’t find any useful information.” Pang Hong shook his head slightly and said.

Secrets among Taoist Monarchs are inaccessible unless the counterpart is willing; ordinary cultivators can’t investigate them, not even fellow Taoist Monarchs.

Furthermore, there exists Zhu Jiuyin, who wields the Time Dao among them, using the Power of Time for defense, making it impenetrable even for some powerful Taoist Monarchs.

To truly probe these secrets, unless Master Tianji personally intervenes or the Fate Controller Star Lord takes action, it’s impossible to uncover any secrets.

Otherwise, even some veteran Taoist Monarchs couldn’t truly investigate the actual reasons behind the cooperation.

Most importantly, there is an understanding among Taoist Monarchs; if someone relies on their abilities to find out, it’s acceptable.

However, relying on brute force to pry into another’s secrets really is tantamount to tearing the fabric apart, possibly leading to war between both sides.

Hence, there’s no need to investigate such matters, being petty.

After all, regardless of the other party’s plans, ultimately they must reveal them. As long as one’s strength is adequate, any scheme can be countered.

If one’s strength is insufficient, knowing the other’s plans won’t change the outcome.

“Xuan Lingzi certifying Tao this time, coupled with King Zhuanlun becoming a Taoist Monarch, makes the situation increasingly tense.” Yu Zhenzi frowned and said.

“Not long ago, after the Buddhist strong figures failed to stop King Zhuanlun from certifying Tao, they did not immediately choose to return to Lingshan. Instead they fiercely headed to the Hell Demon Sect site, where two Bodhisattva Daojun of the Buddhism School aim to suppress the Purgatory Demon Monarch. If it were not for the Alliance Leader of the Heterodox Path, Zhao Baiyang, who happened to discuss matters with the Hell Demon Sect that day, the Purgatory Demon Monarch wouldn’t have escaped unscathed, possibly being severely injured. Even so, these two Taoist Monarchs, faced with the Buddhism School’s vigorous move, are not unscathed.”

The Buddhism School’s retaliation was to avenge the earlier event where Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch and many Demonic Way strong figures jointly plotted against Mahasthamaprapta and Medicine Master Glaze Bodhisattva.

That day, many Demonic Way Taoist Monarchs joined forces, and along with other factions’ Taoist Monarchs pushing from behind, plotted against these two Bodhisattva Daojun of the Buddhism School, leading to their severe injuries despite surviving.

Originally, all parties believed that given the dominant nature of the Buddhism School, facing such an ambush would immediately counter with force.

However, afterward, the Buddhism School chose to consolidate its forces without any sign of retaliation.

Many strong figures speculated that perhaps it was because the Buddhism School’s Lingshan plan reached a critical moment, preventing these furious Buddhist strong figures from mobilizing enough forces for retaliation.

Under such circumstances, the Demonic Way strong figures also became somewhat lax, with their previously close ties gradually decreasing.

After all, there were many grievances among the Demonic Way strong figures themselves; if the Buddhism School retaliated forcefully, they naturally would quickly unite.

But seeing no sign of retaliation from the Buddhism School, they naturally chose to focus on their affairs, overlooking this matter.

No one anticipated that when King Zhuanlun certifying Tao occurred, the Buddhism School would suddenly pull a surprise attack and start retaliating against the Demonic Way, not targeting Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, but going straight for the Purgatory Demon Monarch.

If not for Zhao Baiyang’s presence, the Purgatory Demon Monarch would have suffered greatly.

“The Buddhism School has always been notoriously retaliatory, and such thunderous retaliation is entirely expected.” Pang Hong frowned and said, “From this perspective, the Buddhism School’s Lingshan plan should be almost ready; otherwise, they wouldn’t have made a move at this time.”

The most important matter for the Buddhism School is the Lingshan plan, and it can be said that most bets have been placed upon it, with everything needing to make way for the Lingshan plan. If not, they would have immediately retaliated when Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch attacked that day.

Now that the Buddhism School has made retaliatory moves, it must mean the Lingshan plan is secure, allowing them to free up their hands.

“With the onset of grand calamities, all forces are continuing to place their bets; if the Buddhism School does not act at this point, facing this ambush while continuing to tolerate, even with the Lingshan plan, it would cause dissatisfaction among some internal strong figures.” Yu Zhenzi shared gathered intelligence.

The Lingshan plan is indeed the core for the Buddhism School, but not everyone has such a grand perspective, especially with the Buddhism School’s traditionally forceful nature; if they continue to tolerate, it will not sit well with internal strong figures.

“Besides this, the intensity of confrontation on Five Directions Continent in the Divine Land World is continuously increasing. Originally it was just clashes at the Supreme Strong level, but now even True Immortals are stepping into the battleground, with one Divine Dynasty after another being eliminated. Now, the Five Directions Continent primarily sees Jade Emperor competing against the Human Race Five Emperors and supporters of some top immortal sects, and others simply aren’t qualified to remain.” Yu Zhenzi continued discussing the internal situation of the Divine Land World.
