After the other Great Demons left, the cave manor's owner sat within the cave manor and started pondering.
A moment later, he summoned a servant boy in front of him and instructed, "Go to Daoist Hyakume's cave abode and tell the disciple on duty that after he finishes refining immortal pills and comes out of seclusion, he can come to my cave abode to reminisce about old times and have a drink."
The child bowed and left. The cave manor's owner looked up at the sky and was lost in his thoughts, "Pill Hall, sigh …"
Just like what many had predicted, a huge war unavoidably erupted.
Although Suo Mingzhang didn't show himself, the news spread out that he didn't perish in the hands of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
The Future Buddha had given the Immortal Court quite a lot of time. However, he wouldn't wait forever.
For bigwig experts of their level, ten thousand years was like a moment. However, a moment was sufficient for many things to be done, far beyond the imagination of mortals.
Very quickly, the Immortal Court's territory was being pressured by the enemy's army.
Although the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord gave up on pursuing them and returned to the Immortal Court, the Future Buddha was still there to restrain him.
Outside of the battle formation of the two leaders, the direction of the war was quickly determined.
Compared to the past, where the victor was slightly higher and the loser, the overall situation was still considered as an equal. However, the war that erupted this time was in an unbalanced state right from the start.
The Immortal Court's strength was already greatly damaged. Now, they could only retract their forces and focus on defense. However, they were still forced to retreat.
Unlike the past, the situation was clearly unbalanced. Other than the two warring parties, other forces finally surfaced and joined the war.
The Immortal Court had already contacted for reinforcements. However, the enemy had also requested for reinforcements.
The war that implicated a lot of people was becoming more and more intense.
In the past, the war between the heretics would usually last for several years or even decades. It was the same now. It would only end when one side achieved a decisive victory, or when both sides had no intentions to continue fighting.
No matter if it was the Dao universe or Yan Zhaoge and the others who were by the void's outskirts, such a situation was a rare opportunity for development.
Within the Pill Hall's universe, as time passed, the pill qi became lesser and lesser. Every world's boundaries and space-time laws became more stable and perfect.
Although the entire universe was still unstable, the people living in the various worlds were getting more and more comfortable.
Everything seemed to have returned to how it was in the Dao universe.
In the following days, Yan Zhaoge focused on cultivating while refining the Pill Hall to stabilize the cosmos formed by the Pill Hall.
However, it wasn't completely cut off from the outside world.
Yan Zhaoge was still paying close attention to the progress of this great battle.
After all, even though they were hiding in the Outerealm right now, the changes in the situation were still closely related to them.
Whether it was Yan Zhaoge, the Sword Sovereign, the Earthly Sovereign, or even Feng Yunsheng and the others, all of them were now on the other side's radar.
Once he showed himself, he would definitely be closely watched, and it might even be possible to squeeze out some people to hunt him down.
Still, Yan Zhaoge and the others could contact the Roving Jade Heavens and obtain the latest news regarding the current situation there.
While both the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens might be under surveillance, as the war grew more and more intense, the attention of the heretics would ultimately be placed on the war itself.
Therefore, this gave Yan Zhaoge and the others a chance.
However, the information that was sent back was rather surprising.
"Western Pure Lands …" Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself.
The Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi who had been entrusted by Yan Zhaoge to make a trip to the Roving Jade Heavens nodded slowly, "That's right, the Western Pure Lands!"
The others also looked at each other.
Once upon a time, the Western Pure Lands had shaken the heavens, and its reputation was even higher than the central Blessed Lands of Whirling.
The Lord of the Western Pure Lands was one of the oldest bigwig experts in the world. Amitabha!
After the Journey to the West era, the name of the Western Pure Lands gradually faded, and the central Blessed Lands of Whirling overtook them. The Mystical Mountain's Great Thunderclap Monastery became the symbol of the Western Paradise.
After the Journey to the West era, the Mystical Mountain's Gautama Buddha transcended, and the Maitreya Buddha was reborn in the central Blessed Lands of Whirling, becoming the new Lord of the Blessed Lands of Whirling. Buddhism's cultivation gradually changed, and the Buddhist disciples of the world only heard of the Future Buddha's name. They often chanted "Namo shall come and reborn the Maitreya Buddha", and the name of the Pure Lands of Whirling disappeared.
Most people believed that the Buddhas of the Pure Lands had also entered the Blessed Lands of Whirling.
As for the Amitabha Buddha, no one could guess the specific situation of such a top-notch existence.
Some said that the Amitabha Buddha transcended before the Gautama Buddha, some said that the Amitabha Buddha had already passed away, and some said that the Amitabha Buddha had sealed the Pure Lands of Whirling, and always sat in nothingness. He never left the world, and no one could find him.
Other than that, there were many other rumors, and it was hard to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.
The whereabouts of the few top-notch bigwigs in the world were mostly mysteries, and legends were everywhere.
Other than the Three Clear Grand Masters and the Mystical Mountain's Gautama Buddha, and the Creation Heavenly Devil, it was hard to say where the others were.
Due to various schemes, they might even purposely create illusions to deceive those who weren't on the same level as them.
Some of the people who created the legends were even themselves.
The Future Buddha reorganized the teachings of the Blessed Lands of Whirling, allowing Buddhism to flourish in the human world. As time passed, its position became more and more stable, no matter before or after the Great Calamity.
However, today, the experts of the Pure Lands of Whirling reappeared in the human world, which caused a huge commotion.
"Are they all newcomers, or are there any Buddhism bigwigs that I'm familiar with?" The Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong looked at Fu Yunchi and asked slowly.
He had been sealed within the land of tranquil streams for thousands of years. Naturally, his intelligence wasn't as good as Gao Han, Ling Qing, Jiang Shen, and the others.
"Yes!" Fu Yunchi nodded and said in a deep voice, "There's the White Bear Venerable."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze turned serious, "The Dipankara Buddha's disciple … He was once a Buddhism expert of the central Blessed Lands of Whirling …"
Fu Yunchi said, "That's right. We can only confirm his identity. He's a Buddhist Bhante that existed in the previous era. Other than that, there might be even more powerful existences."
It wasn't easy for the Roving Jade Heavens to gather information. They couldn't get close to the core area where the two sides were fighting.
"There are two things that I'm most interested in …" Yan Zhaoge said, "Firstly, Amitabha. What's the situation now?"
Amitabha. During the Investiture of the Gods era, Buddhism's predecessor, the Western Sect's Great Sect Master, also known as the Welcoming Daoist.
Before the Ancient Era split open the heavens, he had already transformed into the Faceless Heavenly Devil and occupied the position of the Ancestral Devil.
He was one of the most ancient and strongest existences. He had once fought against the Daoism's Three Clear Grand Masters!
After the Investiture of the Gods era, he and the Pure Lands of Whirling Jade Heavens gradually lost their fame. After the Journey to the West era, they were even more silent. They were one of the most famous mysteries in the world.
When the Pure Lands of Whirling Jade Heavens reappeared, Yan Zhaoge and the others didn't feel shocked. Instead, they felt curious and relieved.
Only, it hadn't completely landed.
The Amitabha Buddha's presence and absence were two completely different concepts.
