Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Venerable Xuan Tian's meaning was obvious. Although the Buddhists appeared to be benevolent, they had done many dirty things in the dark. It was not surprising that they had done such things. As long as they did not admit it, even the Heavenly Court could not do anything to them.
After all, the Buddhist sects were deeply rooted. Not counting the forces of the Western World of Buddhism, just the Eastern World of Buddhism alone had three giants, all of whom were Emperor-level powerhouses. In addition, there were countless Buddhas, Arhats, Protectors, Bhikkhus, and so on.
Although the Buddhists of the East were not as powerful as the Heavenly Court in the past, after the two invasions of the Demon Race and the Extraterritorial Demons, the Heavenly Court's power was greatly weakened. This caused the power of both sides to be extremely close.
However, the problem was that the Buddhists of the East had the Western World of Buddhism as their backup, while the Heavenly Court had no backup. They only had the Demon Race, the Extraterritorial Demons, Ancestor Blood River, and other strong enemies.
Under such circumstances, the Heavenly Court's power was obviously far inferior to the Buddhists. Therefore, the Heavenly Court was now in a situation of internal and external troubles. They were mostly afraid of the powerful Buddhists and did not dare to provoke them.
Song Zhong understood this deeply. That was why he did not want the Buddhists to be the culprit behind this. Because if it was really them, it would be troublesome. It might cause a bloody war between the Immortal World and the Buddhist World.
Once it reached that stage, many Immortals would die. The entire Immortal World might be stained with blood. Perhaps even the catastrophe of the ancient times would be nothing more than that!
However, after listening to Venerable Xuan Tian's words, Song Zhong's doubts became more obvious. One had to know that the three giants of the Buddhists did not have a good impression of Song Zhong. Among them, Mahamayuri had killed his nephew. The other two, Medicine Buddha and Dipankara Buddha, had even snatched Song Zhong's Torch Dragon Lamp.
Although they did not succeed that time, they had lost a lot of face. They might even hate Song Zhong when they returned. Moreover, they could not forget Song Zhong's Torch Dragon Lantern. Later on, Song Zhong revealed that he had an even more powerful supreme artifact, the Bell of Chaos. How could they not be jealous?
With the innate sacred artifact, the Torch Dragon Lantern, in hand, the Eastern Buddhist Realm would be invincible in the Immortal World. Even if the Heavenly Court were to return to its heyday, it would still be able to stand on equal footing with the five Celestial Emperors.
Once the Supreme Artifact fell into their hands, the Eastern World of Buddhism would undoubtedly dominate the Immortal World. Even if the Five Great Celestial Emperors joined forces, they would not be able to contend against the Supreme Artifact, the Bell of Chaos. From then on, the Buddhist Sect would completely become the master of the Immortal World.
From this, it seemed that the Buddhist Sect that had long coveted the Immortal World might really disregard their reputation and make a move against Song Zhong's wives for the sake of the Bell of Chaos.
Given their status, if news of them doing such a thing were to spread, they would definitely lose all standing and reputation. It would be a devastating blow to the righteous image that Buddhism had always promoted.
However, as long as they hid it well, the chances of them being exposed were not very high. Moreover, even if they were to take a step back and be exposed, as long as they could obtain the Supreme Divine Weapon, the Bell of Chaos, so what if their reputation was damaged? Anyway, with the supreme artifact, the Bell of Chaos, they would be the overlords of the Immortal World. When the time came, no one would casually say anything!
When Song Zhong thought about it, he realized that this matter might really be related to Buddhism. However, Buddhism was too powerful. Even with Song Zhong's current level, he could not afford to offend them.
And Song Zhong couldn't let his wife be taken away. He had to get her back. However, he didn't have any real evidence. If he rashly went to the door, he would only bring shame to himself. Buddhism was not a soft persimmon that he could bully as he pleased. As a result, he fell into a difficult situation.
It was also at this time that a figure suddenly flew over from the distance. Song Zhong focused his gaze and saw that the person who had come was actually his old acquaintance, Taibai Jinxing.
Seeing Taibai Jinxing's anxious expression, Song Zhong knew that something major had happened. He hastily went over and greeted, "Old brother Jinxing, why are you in such a hurry?"
After Taibai Jinxing arrived in front of Song Zhong, he didn't immediately reply. Instead, he looked around and saw that the Xuantian Dao Sect hadn't been destroyed by Song Zhong. He immediately let out a long sigh of relief and bitterly smiled. "Isn't it all to stop you from continuing to go crazy? The Xuantian Dao Sect has a lofty position in the Heavenly Court. Adding on the fact that they only had one unfilial disciple participate in this matter, you don't have to be so ruthless! "
"This ~" Song Zhong bitterly smiled. "At least they were tactful and obediently cooperated with me. They didn't play any tricks, so I've already decided to let them go!"
"Ah!" Taibai Jinxing immediately let out a long sigh of relief. "That's more like it!"
"However ~" Song Zhong's expression changed and he solemnly said, "According to the Xuantian Immortal Venerable's description, I believe this matter should be done by Buddhism!"
Taibai Jinxing naturally understood the situation in the Immortal World. When he heard Song Zhong's words, he immediately turned pale with fright. He hastily said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. This matter definitely has nothing to do with Buddhism!"
Song Zhong knew that the Heavenly Court was currently somewhat afraid of Buddhism, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent. Even Taibai Jinxing's expression changed. Then he unhappily said, "You haven't even finished listening to me. Don't you think it's a bit arbitrary to say that they didn't participate in this matter?"
"Oh, there's something you don't know!" Seeing that SongZhong was angry, Taibai Jinxing hurriedly explained, "I'm here to tell you a piece of news. The bandits have already sent someone to contact us. They definitely have nothing to do with the Buddhist Sect!"
"Hmm?" Song Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "So, you know their identity?"
"Indeed!" Taibai Jinxing nodded and then said solemnly, "This matter was actually done by your father-in-law!"
"Hmm? My father-in-law? "Song Zhong was stunned at first, but then he suddenly realized," Could it be Blood River Patriarch? "
"Yes, it's him!" Taibai Jinxing said, "He personally sent someone to deliver a letter to the Heavenly Court, asking us to cede three macro worlds to him. He also specifically asked you to deliver the Torch Dragon Lantern!"
"Bastard!" Song Zhong was furious when he heard this. He could not help cursing, "Three macro worlds and the Innate Sacred Artifact, the Torch Dragon Lantern. That old bastard really dares to ask for it!"
The so-called macro worlds referred to the worlds attached to the Thirty-three Layers Beyond Heaven, which had a land area of more than hundreds of millions of miles. For example, Song Zhong's East Emperor World was such a macro world.
In fact, such a macro world was not much worse than the Thirty-three Heavens. Generally speaking, such a macro world was extremely rich in Immortal Qi and extremely rich in resources. Moreover, there were very few of them. It was a place that the Immortals would fight for.
At the junction of the Blood River and the Immortal Realm, there were several such macro worlds. Unfortunately, without exception, all of them were controlled by the Immortal Realm. This made Blood River Patriarch very envious. He wanted to conquer these macro worlds more than once, but he was always thwarted by Emperor Chang Sheng and could not gain the slightest advantage.
Therefore, this guy took advantage of this opportunity and demanded an exorbitant price. Not only did he extort Song Zhong's Torch Dragon Lamp, but he also wanted to obtain the three great worlds.
If it were any other immortal, even the five Celestial Emperors, they would not accept such a threat. At most, they would fight the other party and vent their anger. They would definitely not hand over the Torch Dragon Lantern or the three major worlds. In their eyes, three mere mortal women were clearly not worth doing so.
However, Song Zhong was different. His love for Shuijin and the other two was extremely deep and sincere. It was precisely because of this that Patriarch Blood River dared to do such a thing.
Of course, Patriarch Blood River knew that he could not force Song Zhong into a dead end, so he did not directly attempt to obtain the Bell of Chaos.
This item was too powerful. Even if Song Zhong agreed, the five Celestial Emperors of the Heavenly Court would definitely not agree.
Therefore, Patriarch Blood River set his eyes on the slightly inferior Torch Dragon Lantern. In addition to the three major worlds, it was enough for him to make a big profit.
However, even if Song Zhong loved the three women deeply, he was still extremely angry in the face of such an exorbitant extortion. Therefore, Song Zhong asked Taibai Jinxing, "Did that old bastard say where we're going to make the trade?"
"He did!" Taibai Jinxing said, "He asked us to give up the three major worlds first, and then he asked you to personally deliver the Torch Dragon Lantern to the Nirvana World. He'll make the trade with you there!"
The Nirvana World was actually a small world, but it was famous in the Celestial World because it was located at the intersection of the Celestial World, Buddhism, and Blood River Sect.
Although Song Zhong had never been there, he had heard of its famous name. It was said that because of the long years of war, the Nirvana World had long been broken into pieces. There were holes in space everywhere, and the environment was extremely harsh. Even Golden Immortals of the Great All-Embracing Heaven might not be able to survive if they entered.
In addition, there was almost nothing there, so no Celestials would go there. Only the demons under Patriarch Blood River's command would wander there from time to time. It was a deserted place in reality, so it was called the Nirvana World.
Song Zhong did not expect that the trade would be held there. He could not help but frown. "This is strange. This is already very embarrassing. Patriarch Blood River should be afraid of others finding out. Under normal circumstances, he would arrange for the trade to be near Blood River. Why would he go to the Nirvana World this time? It's true that the Nirvana World is desolate, but it's also close to Buddhism! Isn't he afraid that those meddlesome bald donkeys will interfere and ruin his plans? "
"We're also very curious about this!" Taibai Jinxing frowned. "However, that's what the messenger sent by Patriarch Blood River said! As for the reason, we have no idea!
