“You, when will you cultivate your heart? When you do, you will be able to break through that threshold.” The Second Grandmaster spoke earnestly, holding great expectations for his junior brother.

The Third Grandmaster neither agreed nor disagreed but also did not mention the matter of descending with a sword to the Demon Domain.

The Second Grandmaster walked to the window, his hands clasped behind his back, and looked toward the west with a hint of worry. “The Demon and Barbarian tribes are currently not a threat, but what we must consider is the pressure coming from the west.”

“Those bald donkeys!” The Third Grandmaster’s tone changed instantly upon hearing this, obviously finding them disagreeable.

The Second Grandmaster continued, “For ten thousand years, the Buddhist Sect has become increasingly prosperous, and now their power is vast. They wish to spread Buddhism from the west to the east and have been scheming in secret.”

“The Sword Domain and Devil Region may block the spread of Buddhism to the east, but the Xuan Domain can’t. The Kurong Sect was established early in the Xuan Domain by the Buddhist Sect, and they even extended their reach to the Daqian Empire. Although their influence was cut off, now that Daqian is in grave danger, the Buddhist Sect will inevitably try to take advantage of the situation.”

“We need to prepare early; otherwise, there will emerge a trend where Dao diminishes and Buddhism rises. When our master blames us for this, it will be hard to explain.”

“Humph~”

The Third Grandmaster snorted coldly, his palm stroking the Immortal Sword at his waist, unfazed.

“I want to see whether those bald donkeys’ golden bodies are harder or my Immortal Sword is sharper,” he said defiantly.

The Second Grandmaster was at a loss for words; it seemed that his lengthy explanations fell on deaf ears.

The Buddha Domain is vast, known as the Million Buddha Kingdom, where monks are everywhere, whether mortal or immortal.

In the far west, there is a mountain that reaches to the heavens, where thunderous sounds are constant. This place is known as Xumi Mountain, upon which resides the Great Leiyin Temple.

Xumi Mountain is the ancestral home of the Buddhist Sect, and the Great Leiyin Temple, also known as the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, presides over the Buddhist Sect.

Atop Xumi Mountain, a Bodhisattva was seated cross-legged in the air, expounding on the sutras and imparting profound Buddhist teachings.

Around her, Arhats, Kong, Protectors, and others listened intently, each in a different pose, with solemn expressions, and varying degrees of understanding.

After this sermon ended, the gathered monks dispersed, leaving only the Bodhisattva and a Kong.

“Tuoshan Kong, go to Daqian and assist Kurong Kong in retrieving the Dragon Ball of the Jiao Saint,” she instructed.

“Yes.”

The Kong bowed with hands clapped together in respect and immediately set off on his journey.

“The spread of Buddhism from the west to the east is an inevitable trend. None of the Dao, Devil, or Sword traditions can stop it,” the Bodhisattva said with a smile, murmuring to herself.

Ten thousand years ago, Buddhism was meant to spread eastward, but it encountered three great wars and had to join forces with other traditions to fend off the invasion of the Demon Barbarians.

In those wars, all sides suffered heavy losses and were greatly weakened, including the Buddhist Sect, and the great trend of spreading eastward was forcefully interrupted.

Now, the Buddhist Sect has risen again, returning to its peak. Without the Demon and Barbarian tribes causing trouble, the eastward spread is inevitable, and no one can stop it.

In the Daqian, Yuanzhou.

Above the nine heavens, the Dragon Maiden rode the wind, her feet atop a Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.

Since leaving the Capital City of Daqian a few days ago, she first went to a certain place to retrieve something, and then she began her journey to Leizhou.

She did not fly at extreme speeds but rather leisurely, enjoying the scenic landscapes along the way, her Spiritual Sense covering a vast area.

“Oh? This humble Yuanzhou actually hides dragons and harbors tigers.”

As she passed by Yonchang Manor, her Spiritual Sense swept through Chengsheng Mountain and upon seeing three figures standing on Chengdao Peak, she was somewhat surprised.

The grand formation of Chengsheng Mountain couldn’t block her Spiritual Sense, which easily saw through everything inside. She wasn’t interested in anything else, but the two women and one man caught her attention.

The man was handsome and imposing, at the Peak of the Hollow Realm. The two women were both in the late stage of the God Refining Realm, with unparalleled beauty, not inferior to her in the slightest.

The three stood there, as if they were perfectly matched.

These three seemed young, clearly possessing high potential, at the very least of Fourth Grade talent.

Yuanzhou had no foothold from the Ten Major Sects, and on the surface, not a single Master from the Myriad Phenomena Realm; yet this Sect harbored three talented geniuses with the potential of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, which was truly remarkable.

However, the Dragon Maiden was only mildly interested and did not linger, as her Spiritual Sense quickly moved elsewhere.

If these three were all of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, she would have bestowed them with opportunities and taken them under her wing to serve her, but at present, they were not qualified.

Being at the late stage of the God Refining Realm or the Peak of the Hollow Realm might be impressive in the Daqian Empire, but how lofty were the Dragon Maiden’s standards?

In her previous life, she was a Saint of the Saint Abyss Realm, a powerful Jiao Saint, whose might shook the Eight Hundred Divine Regions; countless beings of the True Martial Realm and Divine Yuan Realm fought to become her disciples, yet she dismissed them all with disdain.

After passing Yonchang Manor, the Dragon Maiden swiftly arrived at Xuanshi Manor. In the city, her Spiritual Sense detected a woman in a purple dress and another in a yellow dress.

A faint smile appeared on the Dragon Maiden’s face, not wishing to disturb the two as they enjoyed their peaceful life, and she headed directly towards Leizhou.

The talents of the woman in the purple dress and the woman in the yellow dress were inferior to the three individuals she had seen earlier. When she had helped them to escape the Capital City of Daqian, it was only due to their roughly shared bloodline.

The Dragon Maiden flew over Yuanzhou, believing she had concealed herself well, hidden from any detection.

After all, she was an Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, and in Yuanzhou where not a single Myriad Phenomena Realm individual existed, who could detect her if she wished to remain hidden?

But someone did take notice.

In Chengsheng Mountain, on Chengdao Peak.

Han Li was in a state of bliss, feeling he had reached the pinnacle of life with two unparalleled beauties in his embrace. Each one of them was a rare beauty in the world.

And now, he possessed two of them, both of whom had taken on his form—one had gifted him a child, and the other was already carrying his child.

Han Li was about to say something to Lu Tianxiang and Jiang Baiye, when he suddenly frowned, sensing a strong presence coming from outside Yuanzhou. The presence was not overly concealed; it seemed to assume that no one could detect it.
