The clouds shattered, ripples spread across the void, magic, magical treasures, and talismans intertwined across the sky, and the aftermath of the battle transmitted to the ground, causing the earth to be shattered.

The Buddha and Demon factions fought from the sky to the ground, then from the ground back to the sky. The intensity of the battle was such that heavenly might seemed like a prison, altering the terrain within a hundred-mile radius—everywhere were collapsed mountains, gorges created by sword strikes, and underground rivers caused by magic blasts, forming artificial lakes.

In White Rock Town, the place was affected by the battle's aftermath, with earthquakes occurring continuously.

Many loose cultivators were so frightened that their thoughts of scavenging were completely extinguished. The battle was of such magnitude that they couldn't even get close enough to touch the corpses; even being thousands of meters away would cause them to be violently killed.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky darkened over White Rock Town as dozens of meteorites made of lava fell from high above, sparking the battle's aftermath which was unavoidable, not even White Rock Town was spared.

The dozens of meteorites were fragments of a lava volcano that had been struck; once they fell, there would be hardly any survivors in White Rock Town.

The loose cultivators trembled all over, watching this scene with despair. Their cultivation could do nothing in the face of these meteorites made of lava.

All loose cultivators were escaping, some townspeople of White Rock Town watched the immortals clash in the heavens tens of thousands of meters away, then closed their eyes to await death. Loose cultivators could run, but ordinary people truly could not escape.

Qin Yushang circulated her spiritual power within and was about to act when she heard a voice from next door.

"If you're going to fight, at least aim properly!"

Su Jie waved his sleeve, and a flying sword emerged from his robe, piercing the clouds and sky, cutting and slicing the meteorites made of lava falling from the sky into chaotic fragments, freeing White Rock Town from impending destruction.

All the people in White Rock Town felt as if they had taken a trip to Ghost Gate before returning, many loose cultivators did not know who had saved them, but they no longer dared to stay and hurried to depart.

The townsfolk of White Rock Town knelt and bowed in gratitude, thanking the god of the blue sky.

"Magic Treasure Flying Sword, you are indeed extraordinary."

Seeing the Magic Treasure Flying Sword return to Su Jie's robe, Qin Yushang suddenly spoke.

Many Secret Realm Elders did not possess Magic Treasures, only using Top Grade Magical Artifacts instead. Having a Magic Treasure indicated Su Jie's strength was not weak even among the Secret Realm.

Qin Yushang did not know, not only did Su Jie have Magic Treasures, but he also possessed a Spirit Treasure Flying Sword, a trophy seized from Li Yuze, Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Alliance, a Low Grade Spirit Treasure Sky Eagle Sword.

"I can't present this more, but this holy monk from the Western Regions has quite a few treasures."

Su Jie relaxedly sipped tea, his gaze mostly fixed on A Yiti Jialuo, or more accurately, on A Yiti Jialuo's Seven Treasures Kasaya, Demon-subduing Golden Bowl, and Bodhi Beads, lustrous equipment that made Su Jie covetous.

"A Yiti Jialuo is a candidate for Divine Monk in Esoteric Buddhism, expected to advance to the Purple Mansion Realm in the future, received the dedicated cultivation and protection from Esoteric Buddhism, naturally various treasures are not spared."

Qin Yushang, with phoenix eyes, watched the fierce battle in the sky while taking the time to answer Su Jie's words.

"You seem to know a lot about Esoteric Buddhism; what kind of system do they have?"

Su Jie asked casually, not knowing much about the Western Regions Countries and Esoteric Buddhism.

Perhaps due to Su Jie's action in saving White Rock Town, Qin Yushang's attitude towards Su Jie improved.

Under the veil, thin cherry lips slightly parted, Qin Yushang spoke: "The land of the Western Regions is hot and arid, mostly stretches of sandy desert, with only a few places suitable for habitation.

The Western Regions, due to the cuts by sandy deserts and a few habitable oases, have formed a distribution of small, scattered countries, with the smallest having only a few cities and towns, yet daring to call themselves a country.

And Esoteric Buddhism is the national religion established collectively by the Sixteen Western Countries. Their Buddhist Sect is located on Lingjiu Mountain, possessing the Innate Spiritual Object Sacred Bodhi Tree, Cave Heaven Treasure Realm, Spiritual Treasure Vajra Zen Stick, Fantian Tower, and other items.

The Buddhist Sect collectively respects Three Great Divine Monks, managing hundreds of Arhat Monks and over a hundred thousand monks. It is the largest and also the only sect in the Western Regions.

They control all matters of the Western Regions Countries. Esoteric Buddhism mainly cultivates the Mo Ah Fo Fa. This method includes traditional practices like chanting, sitting, and meditation, but if one wishes to truly deepen it and open what is called innate wisdom, it requires the gathering of all beings' wisdom, enabling every being to devoutly pray.

Many Western Regions people are brainwashed under the lure of the "Fantian Demon Sound," losing their original selves, becoming the living dead, as their wisdom is borrowed by Mo Ah Fo Fa, leaving only Buddha in their hearts, with family, kin, wealth, and even life treated as dirt, becoming tools for the disciples of Esoteric Buddhism to cultivate."

Qin Yushang slowly narrated about Esoteric Buddhism, as the White Tiger Hall Master, she stationed in the west of the Da Li Dynasty, fully understood what kind of monster Esoteric Buddhism truly was.

It seemed on the surface a sect encouraging people to nurture goodness and venerate Buddha, yet in reality, those brainwashed to believe in Buddha were no different from living dead; their daily task was to go to temples and worship, providing faith and spiritual wisdom, and they generally did not live past forty, dying due to the lack of wisdom light.

"Sounds even more demonic than the Demon Path!"

Su Jie made a small exclamation, likewise absorbing the power of faith, Su Jie on Blue Star never engaged in such practices as Esoteric Buddhism, which caused people to lose their selves and true selves, living without any distinction from being dead.

"Therefore, for Esoteric Buddhism to come to our Da Li Dynasty and preach the exquisite meanings of Buddhist law is definitely not well-intentioned."

Qin Yushang's tone sharpened, not at all hiding her disdain for Esoteric Buddhism.

During their idle chat, the battle in the sky changed further.

Under the siege of over ten Dao Platform Realm cultivators from Chongzhou, though A Yiti Jialuo was strong and possessed three treasures—Bodhi Beads, Demon-subduing Golden Bowl, and Seven Treasures Kasaya—he could not withstand such a number of attackers, gradually falling into a disadvantage as time went on.

This was greatly attributed to the Buddha light from Bodhi Beads, which largely weakened the Demon Cultivators' strength; otherwise, A Yiti Jialuo could not have held on for so long.

"Bald donkey, prepare to die for me."

The current Sect Hierarch of the Golden Brilliance Sect gritted his teeth and took out a special treasure, a bead with a dark and ominous glow, about the size of a baby's fist, its surface shimmering with blood-colored streaks.

Crack!

This bead floated in the air, revealing the visage of A Yiti Jialuo. Instantly, A Yiti Jialuo's battle stance faltered as his soul essence was being pulled, drawn into the bead.

This is called the Netherworld Soul Capturing Pearl, a special innate spiritual treasure. Under the Taoist Platform Realm, primordial spirits can hardly resist it and will be sucked into the bead for refining. There's a tale of a Purple Mansion Strongman refining a cultivator of the same realm with this item, truly strange and malevolent.

If A Yiti Jialuo hadn't pushed him to the limit, with several of his elders killed, he wouldn't have been willing to take out this Netherworld Soul Capturing Pearl for fear of other devils coveting it.

On the other side, the Sect Master of the Nine Dragons Hall took out the Sect Treasure, a low-grade spirit treasure, the Dragon Extinguishing Seal. As it was unleashed, nine dragons soared together, their mighty roars shaking the skies.

Yin Leibai, Sect Master of the Desire Sect, also wielded the Lingxiao Nine Curves Bell. This low-grade spirit treasure, when swung, released a grand and vast chime, as if the Lingxiao Goddess was singing, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble and countless beasts to perish.

At this juncture, the Chongzhou Demon Path had practically played all their cards, aiming to quickly resolve A Yiti Jialuo. If the battle continued, too many Secret Realm Elders would die, and the sect would be left without leaders.

Ahhhhh!

A Yiti Jialuo's features contorted as his primordial spirit was torn and pulled by the Netherworld Soul Capturing Pearl, causing him immense pain, making his body difficult to control.

The Lingxiao Nine Curves Bell tolled, the sound pouring into A Yiti Jialuo's ears, causing black blood to ooze from his seven orifices.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Dragon Extinguishing Seal descended, the nine flying dragons roaring in succession, blasting A Yiti Jialuo from the sky to the ground.

Seeing victory at hand, more Fourth Level Taoist Platform Realm experts struck down with their attacks, mercilessly beating the fallen enemy.

Poof!

A Yiti Jialuo spat out a mouthful of blood. Even with the Bodhi Beads' support and the protection of the Seven Treasures Kasaya, he was gravely injured.

"I didn't intend to use this move, but you seek death."

A Yiti Jialuo, seeing the group of demons approach, no longer maintained his earlier calm, instead becoming sinister and fearsome.

He took out a relic and swallowed it whole.

The relic was left by a certain Divine Monk after passing, blessed by the wisdom light of countless people day and night, sacrificing countless lives to imbue it with transcendent Divine Wisdom Light.

In an instant, A Yiti Jialuo underwent a massive transformation, his head growing a flesh crest, gleaming golden.

His ears extended, drooping, his gaze turned solemn and serene, imbued with compassion, a halo of wisdom rose atop his head, resembling a living Buddha.

A Yiti Jialuo slowly lifted his eyes, his primordial spirit constantly transforming, clad in a precious armor, leaping into the air, like a Yang God.

The spiritual power within A Yiti Jialuo surged explosively, reaching an unimaginably high level, the standard of a Purple Mansion Realm strongman.

"Amitabha Buddha, how dare you demons wreak havoc in the world. Convert to my Buddha, swiftly."

A Yiti Jialuo chanted in a voice that was eerily foreign, a result of ingesting the relic. The awakened innate wisdom within took over, with the wisdom, combat consciousness, and experience of the relic's owner guiding everything.

Simply put, someone took over A Yiti Jialuo like a high-level account to fight.

That's why A Yiti Jialuo dared to come to Chongzhou alone.

After speaking, A Yiti Jialuo reached out with a palm.

The palm kept growing, transforming into a gigantic hand covering the sky, overshadowing heaven and earth.

Two Fourth Layer Heaven Taoist Platform Realm experts trembled, wishing to resist, yet under the giant hand, they were like bubbles, their entire beings erased into void.

The Sect Master of Nine Dragons Hall, wielding the Dragon Extinguishing Seal, was ready to launch a sneak attack when A Yiti Jialuo glanced over. The Yang God atop his head joined its hands, transforming into a grotesque Dharma Form with two horns, six feet, and eight wings.

Crunch!

The void trembled, the Sect Master of Nine Dragons Hall screamed in agony, his body bitten by the Dharma Form, his upper body devoured, the lower body dropping to the ground. Even his primordial spirit was annihilated before escaping.

"The Buddhist Law is boundless."

A Yiti Jialuo smiled faintly, the Bodhi Beads turning into eighteen Golden Light Sanskrit Seals, suppressing in all directions.

The Fourth Level Taoist Platform Realm demons either spewed blood or had their bones and tendons snapped, beaten into retreat. The nearby Secret Realm Elders were no match, instantly killed, as if swatted like pests.

The scene was astonishing, A Yiti Jialuo dominating the battlefield, leaving the Chongzhou demons with no means of counterattack.

"This is... this is the power of the Purple Mansion Realm."

Yin Leibai's lips trembled, his body enveloped in chill, finally realizing the transformation within A Yiti Jialuo.
