? The Outer Realm was very large. It could be described as boundless, but resources were very scarce. It could be said that most of it was barren, and only a small part of it was suitable for humans to live in. The great war in ancient times had torn the Zhenwu Continent into several regions. Among them, the best preserved place was the Central Plains. There were no advertisements.
The Jin Kingdom was one of the four countries in the outer region. Each of the four countries in the outer region was a major force and was very powerful. They could compete with the 21 major forces in the Central Plains. Although the 21 major forces looked down on the outer region, it was undeniable that the four countries in the outer region did have some strength.
However, in the face of the Demon Lord and the Demon Lord, the people of the Jin Kingdom kept quiet out of fear. Even the Zen Sect, the protector of the Jin Kingdom, did not dare to say anything.
Zen Buddhism was also a Buddhist sect, but it was not of the same origin as the Tenryū Temple. Instead, it was somewhat similar to the Evil Buddha.
There were all kinds of Buddhist cultivators in the Zen Sect. Some enjoyed dual cultivation, some cultivated Buddhism through evil, some used mercy to redeem others, and some used killing to enter Buddhism. The cultivation methods of the Zen Sect were extremely evil.
However, different paths lead to the same destination. In the end, they would all become Buddhist cultivators. This kind of cultivation method would not create inner demons in one's heart, which would affect one's cultivation. Whether it was a Buddha or an immortal, they all had their own desires. No one could have no desires. Even a saint would chase after fame and fortune. Zen Buddhism was to vent the desires in one's heart. When all the desires were vented, one would reach the state of having no desires. Only then would one let go of everything and become a Buddha.
The Zen Sect was different from the Tenryū Temple. From the beginning, the Tenryū Temple had been cultivating Buddhism, making oneself follow the thoughts of the Buddha. Although the Tenryū Temple did not cultivate as fast as the Zen Sect, in the Tenryū Temple, the higher one's Buddhism was, the more terrifying one's strength would be. At the same level, the Tenryū Temple was much stronger than the Zen Sect. In addition, the Tenryū Temple had countless resources and endless talented disciples. Its strength was also incomparably strong. It could be said that it was the strongest among the major forces.
Of course, the Tenryū Temple was in the past. Now that the Hades and the Temple of Eternal Life had appeared, the Tenryū Temple was no longer the strongest force. It was only as famous as the Temple of Eternal Life and the Hades. As for who was the strongest among the three forces, no one knew. The three forces had not fought with their full strength yet.
Half of the Jin Kingdom's imperial palace was occupied by Zen Buddhism. The architecture of Zen Buddhism was poles apart from that of the Tenryū Temple. The Tenryū Temple was a bit like the architecture of the Shaolin Temple in Shenlang's previous life, but the architecture of Zen Buddhism was a bit like the architecture of the Western Vatican. It was very strange.
At this time, in a huge building in the Zen Buddhism area, a fat monk with a square head and big ears suddenly opened his eyes when the Demon Lord and Optimus Divine General appeared in the sky above the Jin Kingdom. His smiling eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
"Buddhist Lord, the Southern Ghost Emperor of the Hades and Optimus Divine General of the Temple of Eternal Life are fighting in the sky above the Jin Kingdom. If we don't stop it, I'm afraid it will affect the Jin Kingdom." A dignified middle-aged man wearing a blue robe embroidered with a wolf howling at the moon walked in.
The moment the middle-aged man came in, he bowed to the fat monk with a very respectful expression.
This middle-aged man was the current king of the Jin Kingdom, "Yelu Ping."
Although the Jin Kingdom was called a country, it was different from the Qianwu Empire. After all, the Jin Kingdom was only a native country and could not be considered orthodox. Therefore, it was not built according to the traditions of the Central Plains. It was more like a foreign country.
When the fat monk heard Yelu Ping's words, his expression became serious. However, the monk's serious expression was different from that of a normal person. It gave people a feeling of joy.
However, Yelu Ping's expression did not change at all. Instead, he stood respectfully in front of the monk.
The protector forces of the four foreign countries were transcendent existences above the countries. Without the support of those forces, the four foreign countries could be regarded as ordinary small countries at most. They could not be compared with the Qianwu Empire at all. However, with the support of those forces, they could fight against the Qianwu Empire with peace of mind.
Yelu Ping could only meet the master of the Zen Buddhism, Xiao Maitreya, with the status of a subordinate.
Laughing Maitreya slowly stood up, his fingers pinched together as he muttered something under his breath. Not long after, Laughing Maitreya stopped as a glint flashed across his eyes. "I can't intervene in this matter. Those two are transcendent existences. I can only ask Venerable Jia Wen for help."
Venerable Jia Wen was an ancient expert of the Zen Buddhism. The Zen Buddhism competed with the Tenryū Temple in the past. Although they lost to the Tenryū Temple in the end and were suppressed in this barren land, their foundation was not weak at all. Buddhists paid attention to karma and rarely did things like exterminating people. Therefore, although the Zen Buddhism lost, the ancestors of the Tenryū Temple did not exterminate the Zen Buddhism. Instead, they gave them a chance to live.
Because of this, the Zen Sect was able to preserve their full strength. The Zen Sect's strength was much better than the Spirit Hidden Sect, which was a half-destroyed sect. It could be considered a powerful sect.
"Wait for me here. I will go inform Venerable Jia Wen." Xiao Maitreya said.
Ye Lü Ping nodded respectfully.
The Laughing Maitreya arrived at a space parallel to the Zhenwu Continent. This space was surrounded by Buddhist light. There were no buildings, only an empty void. Various Buddhist Bodhisattvas floated in the void. These Buddhist Bodhisattvas had different expressions. Some had Rakshasa faces, while others had benevolent faces.
And in the middle of those Buddha statues, there was a monk sitting cross-legged. That person's back was very old, even his eyebrows were white, and the beard below his forehead was as white as snow. However, there were no wrinkles on his face, giving people a strange feeling.
When Xiao Maitreya came behind the monk, the Bodhisattvas in the sky suddenly stopped as if they were fixed by something.
"How many years has it been?" An ethereal voice resounded in this space.
Xiao Maitreya respectfully chanted the name of Buddha. "Venerable One, it has been ten thousand years since ancient times."
"It has been ten thousand years? It seems that I am really old. "The voice sounded again.
"Are you the Zen Buddhism Lord of this generation?"
Xiao Maitreya put his palms together and respectfully said, "Yes, Venerable One."
"You must have something to say. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to open this space again. "Venerable Jia Wen said slowly.
"Venerable One, Zen Buddhism is now in trouble. Two Void-breaking Realm elites are fighting in the sky above our sect. If we don't stop them, I'm afraid it will affect Zen Buddhism. With Zen Buddhism's current strength, we can't resist at all. I'm afraid we will be wiped out." Xiao Maitreya said with a serious expression.
"Void-breaking Realm elites?"
"Void-breaking Realm elites have been born?" Venerable Jia Wen's voice finally changed. There was a hint of shock in it.
"Yes, Venerable One. Void-breaking Realm elites have been born. Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū have been destroyed. If Venerable One doesn't come out, I'm afraid Zen Buddhism won't be spared. The Diagram of the Heavenly Path will be unsealed in a few years. I hope Venerable One can lead Zen Buddhism to glory." Xiao Maitreya's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
