The path leading to the Western Heavenly Gate and the Bliss Mountain was filled with devout worshippers.
These worshippers who had survived in the Human-Demon Battlefield were either soldiers who had lost their way in the endless slaughter or scavengers who had lost their way in the endless scavenging.
No matter which identity they had, they were all powerful in their respective fields.
What was powerful was their abilities, but what was weak was their hearts.
Because of their weak hearts, after hearing that there was bliss in the west, they set out on the path of seeking inner peace under the accompaniment of Buddhist scriptures.
They had yet to reach bliss, but their hearts had already been nurtured and calmed by the Buddhist teachings. However, they did not stop there. Instead, their desire to reach bliss became more and more urgent.
This kind of urgency was devotion.
Along the way, Elder Ba and his group saw many worshippers like this.
Some of them even made the two Tyranny elders wary.
What did this mean?
It meant that these worshippers were very likely Quasi-emperors.
After all, even though Elder Ba was called a Quasi-emperor, he was still some distance away from being able to see the wonders of cultivation on the other side of the Heavenly Gate.
"They're all old monsters..."
The elder next to Elder Ba was named Liu Sui. He did not have a high status in the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, and his status was even lower than Elder Ba's.
Not only was his voice very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the old monsters he saw, but there was also a hint of fear in his voice that was not easy to detect.
However, Elder Ba could easily detect it.
"What's the point of living a life that is inhuman, no matter how scary it is?"
Although his words were unpleasant to hear, his tone was extremely calm.
His disciple Chu Mo's transformation had also brought about a huge change in him as his master.
Liu Sui was somewhat surprised, but it was precisely because of this that the two of them had the possibility of continuing their conversation.
"So it's not without reason that the Buddhist sects are growing stronger day by day." He sighed softly and shook his head. "This is especially so for the Human-Demon Battlefield. Speaking of it, it was originally a continuation of the war between the Buddhists and Demons at the end of ancient times. Who would have thought that not only did the Buddhist sects not decline, they even occupied half of the Nine Heavens..."
"Half of the Nine Heavens?" Elder Ba smiled coldly. "Do they deserve it? Quantity doesn't mean quality is good. "
"Hehe, of course." Liu Sui laughed. "Not to mention the Nine Heavens Nine Emperors, just the Karma Realm is enough to make the Buddhist Sect unable to raise their heads. However, I heard that the Karma Realm seems to be trying to ease the relationship between the Buddhist Sect and the Karma Realm. I wonder if it's true …"
Elder Ba shook his head and said, "It's not our place to worry about these matters. However, the Old Man believes that the Karmic Realm experts will not sit idly by and watch as the Buddhist Sect grows stronger. After all … the ones who betrayed the Human-Demon Battlefield were mostly Buddhist monks."
Between Buddha and Demon, it was truly black and white.
With Elder Ba's status, he was already qualified to know about the Buddhist cultivators in the Nine Heavens Universe. The origin of the Buddhist cultivators was the continuation of the first clan's cultivation system in the universe.
Therefore, when the battle between the Buddha and the Demon began, no one would believe that there would be such a thing as defection in such a black and white war.
However, as the war continued, reality shocked them.
Not only did the Buddhist cultivators defect, but they also occupied the highest percentage of defectors among all the other forces!
Not to mention the huge losses it would bring …
Just the actions of these Buddhist and Demon traitors almost caused the Nine Heavens Universe to completely view the Buddhist cultivators as enemies!
"Sigh, that's only natural. However, the strength of the Buddhist cultivators is also undeniable." Liu Sui nodded and said, "Not to mention the fact that most of the various military formations used to deal with the Demons on the Human-Demon Battlefield are from the Buddhist cultivators. Just the number of Buddhist cultivators who have become Buddhas in recent eras is not small. These existences who are comparable to Quasi-emperors are the absolute main forces on the Human-Demon Battlefield."
Invading was actually a form of communication.
The Demons who had destroyed the Demon Race would naturally absorb the essence of the Demon Race and integrate it into their bodies. Then, during the battle on the Human-Demon Battlefield, it would be absorbed by the Buddhist cultivators.
In the Nine Heavens Universe, not only was the strength of the Buddhist sects rising rapidly, but the various secret techniques and military formations that they created to counter the Demon Race were also very popular. They became an indispensable source of strength for the Nine Heavens Universe in the war between humans and demons.
Because of this, not only did the Buddhist cultivators not fall into the hands of the major forces of the Nine Heavens Universe, but as time passed, they became closer to the true center of power in the Nine Heavens Universe.
This could be seen from the initial evolution of the Buddhist cultivators to the current four mountains.
Tyranny only nodded at Liu Sui's words and did not respond.
In his eyes, whether the Buddhist cultivators were strong or not had nothing to do with him.
"Even if the Old Man wants to go to Bliss Mountain this time, but …"
But when he thought of the current Chu Mo and the difficulties that Chu Mo would suffer in the future, he felt that Chu Mo's survival was the most important thing.
As for revenge …
Revenge definitely had to be taken, but revenge could not harm Chu Mo's interests. This was the main theme of his trip.
"What's more, there's still the matter of saving Chu Mo …"
Chu Mo had been injured by the Spiritual Mountain's techniques and was unconscious.
Like the three elders in the base, Tyranny could have easily awakened Chu Mo, but when they considered the strangeness of the Spiritual Mountain's techniques, they chose to let the Buddhist cultivators of the Spiritual Mountain do it.
Therefore, asking about the attack on Chu Mo was secondary. The key was to ask the Buddhist cultivators of Mount Ling to save Chu Mo.
After traveling for half a month, Elder Tyrant's group finally arrived at Western Heaven's Gate.
Compared to Southern Heaven's Gate, Western Heaven's Gate had a more desolate feel to it. Strange mountains, strange rocks, strange rivers, and strange ravines dotted this battlefield. Upon entering, one would feel desolate.
However, desolate wasn't synonymous with weak strength.
Although Western Heaven's Gate was only slightly stronger than Southern Heaven's Gate and ranked second to last among the Five Heavenly Gates, this second to last strength was equivalent to two or three Southern Heaven's Gates.
It seemed that this was the reason why Western Heaven's Gate had never been built and only had a towering Heavenly Gate as its name.
Passing through Western Heaven's Gate was equivalent to entering the territory of Western Heaven's Gate.
There were many pilgrims here, and because it was close to Bliss Mountain, they were even more devout.
It was also because of this devoutness that Tyranny's group saw an abnormal amount of devoutness.
"Three steps to bow, nine steps to kowtow …" Liu Sui, who had never seen this scene before, was clearly frightened. "If that's the case, when will they reach Bliss Mountain?"
Tyranny heard this and looked into the distance. "They'll definitely be faster than us."
"Ah?"
"Because their hearts are already there."
Their hearts were in bliss, so they could ignore time and space.
However, even if they could ignore time and space, there was one place that neither the pilgrims nor outsiders could ignore, and that was …
Falling Soul Stream.
Standing next to Falling Soul Stream, Tyranny's group finally felt the darkness beneath the Buddhist's merciful exterior.
Or perhaps it could be said that this wasn't darkness, but rather a ceremony where one wanted to see Buddha, one had to shed their evil soul and leave behind only their good soul.
This kind of ceremony resulted in the pilgrims who arrived here severing their souls and sending the darkness into the stream, leaving behind only the light.
