The changes in the Primordial World that attracted Yang Jian's attention were not earth-shattering in the East Ocean.
"Second Master." Zhi Jian and Guo Shen stood at the side. The one who pushed Yang Jian's incarnation's shoulder was Zhang Boshi, who was scratching his head.
"What's the matter?"
After Yang Jian looked at the fitness center, he immediately stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man who was dressed strangely.
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Why did you come to my Guan River, Yama Lord?"
"Ah, I was ordered to ask of you, Perfected Lord." King Qinguang sighed with a bitter expression. Yang Jian hurriedly let King Qinguang take a seat and called Zhi Jian, Guo Shen, and the others to take a seat.
He thought that a monkey had jumped out of a rock, but he did not expect that the Yama Lord of the Netherworld had been ordered to come.
Orders? Whose orders?
Apart from the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court, the only person who could order the ten Yama Lords was the Lady of Earth.
Yang Jian did not dare to be careless. He said seriously, "If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me. I will definitely do my best."
"Perfected Lord, this … is a little long."
"If the situation is not urgent, let's start from the beginning." Yang Jian pulled his sleeves. "If the situation is too urgent, tell me what the Lady of Earth wants me to do. My true body can rush back from the Primordial World in ten hours."
King Qinguang had mixed feelings. He stood up and bowed to Yang Jian. All sorts of grievances surged in his heart, and his eyes almost turned red.
Fortunately, King Qinguang had been in a high position for many years and knew how to stop being emotional.
"I don't dare to lie to you, Perfected Lord." King Qinguang sighed. "The Goddess has strictly ordered us not to disturb your cultivation. However, now, the Netherworld has been bullied to the point that we have nowhere to go. We went to look for the Great Immortals and Gods, but we were all rejected. Apart from you, I really don't know who else can save the Netherworld!"
Yang Jian's expression turned gloomy when he heard that.
"What happened? Did the Jade Emperor attack you? "
"Yes and no," King Qinguang shook his head, "It's fine if it's only the Jade Emperor, but the Buddhism … Sigh! True Monarch, let me start from the beginning. "
Yang Jian nodded and listened attentively to King Qinguang's complaints.
Although he had long known that the Western Sect and the Jade Emperor were in cahoots, ever since Laozi transformed into a Buddha and severely injured the Western Sect's prosperity, the Buddhist Sect began to rack their brains to plan for luck and merit in an attempt to prosper as soon as possible.
The demons that were struggling at death's door in the cracks of the five continents were the leek fields of the Buddhist Sect. They had already begun to harvest great demons to increase the Buddhist Sect's luck.
While Yang Jian was busy subduing the thousands of forces in the Hundred Mountains, the Buddhist Sect and the Celestial Court had officially formed an alliance.
More than 300 years ago, the Celestial Court issued a decree to the Buddhist Sect, ordering the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist Sect to accept the conferment of the Celestial Court.
The Buddhist Sect accepted it calmly. Not only did they become a powerful helper of the Celestial Court and obtain the rewards of the Celestial Court, but they were also outside the Celestial Court. Vairocana Vairocana called the Jade Emperor Your Majesty, and the Jade Emperor called Vairocana Buddha. This made the Buddhist Sect's status in the Three Realms extraordinary, completely suppressing the Dao Sect's momentum.
From then on, the Buddhist Sect began to extend their tentacles to various parts of the Three Realms. They nurtured believers and collected the power of incense offerings. The Skyward Pavilion in the Three Thousand Great Worlds even took the initiative to shrink its strength and let the Buddhist Sect establish a Buddhist kingdom.
Two hundred years ago, with the tacit approval of the Jade Emperor, the Buddhist Sect established the Buddha Realm in Hell and forcefully fought with the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation for reincarnated souls.
The moment the Buddha Realm appeared, the order of the world immediately received a huge impact. After the believers of the Buddhist Sect died, they would be led to the Buddha Realm and reincarnated in various Buddhist kingdoms to consolidate the power of incense offerings of the Buddhist Sect.
The Netherworld was furious but did not dare to say anything.
"In the beginning, the Buddhist Sect only enlightened the believers of the Buddhist Sect. That was fine. We endured it for the time being. However, in just a few decades, the Buddha Realm sent a million Buddhist soldiers to various parts of the Three Paths River. They directly snatched away their souls and reincarnated into their Buddhist kingdoms!"
When Yang Jian heard that, his face turned livid.
He had spent so much effort to nurture his faction in the Chaos Sea, hoping to turn the tide in the future and save the country from collapse. However, the Buddhists were doing these evil things in the Primordial World's Three Realms that were already stable!
Zhang Boshi, who was at the side, was also anxious. He shouted, "There are so many ghost soldiers in the Netherworld. Why don't you just kill them!?!"
"The Buddhist Sect is behind the Buddhist soldiers. It's the Jade Emperor." King Qinguang sighed and said, "We used righteousness to send troops and chase the Buddhist soldiers away. However, we did not dare to really clash with them. However, in less than ten years, the Buddhist soldiers made a comeback. This time, they did not take the ghost soldiers of the Netherworld seriously."
The essence of the Buddhist soldiers was also ghosts. However, with the support of the Buddhist Dharma Seals, they had the golden Buddhist power that specialized in restraining ghost cultivators.
The ghost soldiers of the Netherworld suffered a huge loss when they chased away the Buddhist soldiers. Some ghost generals could not hold it in and led their troops to fight. However, the Buddhist soldiers had been waiting for a long time. The two sides fought at the Three Paths River.
As a result, the Buddha Realm used the excuse that the Netherworld was unreasonable and officially started a war with the Netherworld.
What added fuel to the fire was that the Asura Clan walked out of the sea of blood. Not only did they not fight the Buddhist soldiers that could threaten them, they pointed their swords at the Netherworld's ghost soldiers.
"The entire Netherworld is built on the sea of blood. In these areas, the Buddhist soldiers and the Asura Clan joined forces to attack, and the ghost soldiers of the Netherworld were defeated. Now, the Netherworld only occupies a third of the Netherworld. The Buddhist soldiers and the Asura Clan have already arrived at Fengdu City. If Fengdu is destroyed, the eighteen levels of hell will have nowhere to hide! "
King Qinguang's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. "In the past few hundred years, it's not that we haven't walked around the Celestial Court. However, even the Dragons of the Four Seas avoid the people of the Netherworld!"
"At this point of the battle, we no longer want to take back the entire Netherworld. We only want to protect Fengdu and the reincarnation of Heaven and Earth that the Goddess sacrificed herself to establish!"
"The Goddess ordered us not to disturb you at the mouth of the river. She was afraid that we would disturb your cultivation, but … but the Netherworld is now at a dead end. If the Six Paths of Reincarnation are taken away by the Buddhists, this world …"
Bang!
The square table beside Yang Jian suddenly exploded. It was because Yang Jian was a little unstable when he placed the teacup.
"Fengdu can still last for half a day?"
"Of course," King Qinguang replied in a low voice.
"In that case, Yama Lord, go back for now." Yang Jian exhaled softly and forced an ugly smile. "I have never dared to forget the Lady of Earth's kindness to me. In half a day, my true body will return to the Primordial World."
Yang Jian stood up, his eyes flashing with coldness.
King Qinguang endured the waves in his heart and stood up to bow to Yang Jian. With tears in his eyes, he turned around and left hurriedly.
"Is what he said true?"
Yang Jian suddenly asked.
The Six Friends of the Plum Mountain were in the Primordial World. If such a huge thing happened in the Netherworld, it would be impossible for it to be hidden from them.
Zhi Jian and Guo Shen nodded at the same time.
Yang Jian said coldly, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Second Master …" Zhi Jian and Guo Shen knelt on one knee at the same time and lowered their heads, not daring to answer.
It was rare for them to see Yang Jian with such killing intent. They could not help but panic.
Zhang Boshi hurriedly said, "Second Master, actually, I've been hesitating about whether to report this to Second Master. However, there was a rumor in the Primordial World that it was because of the incompetence of the Netherworld that the Six Paths of Reincarnation had deviated. That was why the North Ocean's Netherworld Stream had a change … A great calamity was brewing …"
"Alright, I know."
Yang Jian slowly took a deep breath and stood there with his eyes closed.
Not only did the Six Friends of the Plum Mountain not report this matter, even Ao Xinke hid it from him and did not tell him about it. Yang Jian could understand the reason.
They just did not want Yang Jian to go against the Saints of the Buddhist Sect.
"Zhi Jian, Guo Shen, the two of you go to Fengdu first. If the Buddhist soldiers attack the city in half a day, appear and tell them."
"Second Master, tell them what?"
"Anyone who insults the Lady of Earth is my mortal enemy, Yang Jian."
After saying that, Yang Jian shifted his attention back to his main body and sent a voice transmission to Di Wu and Huo Rong. Then, he summoned the Black Shuttle and entered it.
The Black Shuttle broke through the layers of Chaos aura and instantly reached its maximum speed. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
At the mouth of the Guan River, Guo Shen and Zhi Jian looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Zhang Boshi sighed and said, "Look, I said to report to Second Master as soon as possible, but you said that it's fine. Second Master is really angry this time, right?"
Zhi Jian scolded, "Don't be so belated. Quickly gather some brothers. The two of us will go to Fengdu first to block them."
"There are more than ten million Buddhist soldiers. How can we block them?"
"With Second Master's words, regardless of whether it's the Buddhist Sect or the Jade Emperor, they have to think twice."
After a few reminders, Zhi Jian and Guo Shen hurriedly burrowed underground. Zhang Boshi shook his head and muttered for a while. Then, he hurriedly went to Mei Mountain to call for help.
There were hundreds of thousands of troops in Mei Mountain. Although it was a drop in the bucket for the Netherworld, it could at least show Yang Jian's determination to protect the Netherworld.
It would take some time for the Xuandu City to reach the Primordial World. It would take more than half a month for Ao Xinke to find out about Yang Jian's anger at the mouth of the Guan River.
Otherwise … based on Ao Xinke's understanding of Yang Jian, she would definitely use the Black Spirit Kingdom's army to return to the Primordial World. If that was the case, the mighty army of tens of millions of spirits would really cause chaos in the Primordial World.
In the Black Shuttle, the anger in Yang Jian's heart was gradually suppressed. He began to think about the twists and turns behind the matter.
The Buddhist Sect was actually able to snatch business from the Six Paths of Reincarnation. In just a few hundred years, they had built a complete system of the Buddhist Kingdom, the Buddhist Realm, and the Buddhist Sect. It was obviously impossible if the Jade Emperor did not add fuel to the fire.
What does the Jade Emperor want to do?
After unifying the Three Realms, he would use the teachings of the Buddhist Sect to fool all living beings and use them to build an iron bucket of territory?
What a joke!
His uncle was really walking further and further on the path of power. He was about to exceed the limits of ordinary people's imagination!
As he thought about that, the Black Spirit Kingdom was already in sight. Yang Jian slowed down slightly and sent a jade token to look for Ao Xinke. He passed the Black Spirit World and did not enter. Instead, he headed straight for the Primordial World.
Yang Jian's jade token did not have any other contents. It only asked the 1,800 Magi to return to the Primordial World as soon as possible to listen to orders.
It was not easy for the Spirit Race's army to act rashly. Yang Jian did not want the forces under his control to descend into the Primordial World too early. That was not his original intention.
Moreover, there was no need to find tens of millions of cannon fodder to fight a war. A few hundred experts under him could sweep through the boundless territory.
Perhaps, he would have to fight the Buddhist Sect and the Celestial Court. The path ahead would be filled with obstacles.
Or perhaps, this trip would cause the Primordial World to bleed …
"Hmph!"
Blood would flow like a river.
…
In the East Ocean, between the continuous mountains of Huaguo Mountain.
A rock reflected a seven-colored glow and stood quietly in the morning light. An old man sat cross-legged beside the rock with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Wan 'er, your fate has already been decided before you were born. I've really caused you to suffer." The old man gently stroked the rock with his right hand and sighed softly. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes.
Near the rock, a few figures were hidden everywhere. They stared at the old man, as if they were afraid that he would escape with the rock.
"I can't bear to see you like this. I can only take a step first." The old man shook his head gently. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but he could only look away.
The sigh lingered with the wind. The figure of the old man sitting quietly beside the rock slowly dissipated. He had already cast a spell to escape.
The rock swayed gently, as if it was expressing its reluctance to part with the old man. However, the inner fetus had yet to be born. The spiritual object in the inner fetus did not know anything around it.
