The Amitabha Buddha resided in a peaceful place. Since he didn't fight, he wouldn't be defeated.
It wasn't that he didn't make a move, but it was rare.
However, if this existence truly left the Pure Lands and descended into the world, even the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha would lose their momentum.
If the Amitabha Buddha was still around, even if he didn't leave the Pure Lands, he wouldn't take the initiative to attack. As long as he existed, no one would dare to offend him.
The Primordial Heaven Devil was an example. Even if he was suppressed throughout the ages, no one would underestimate him.
It was fine if they were outside the Nine Underworlds. However, if they were to invade the Nine Underworlds, they would have to consider if the Primordial Heaven Devil would be able to break out of the seal.
If the Amitabha Buddha was no longer around, regardless of whether he had transcended or perished, the reappearance of the Western Pure Lands in the world this time would be worth pondering over.
"The possibility of the Amitabha Buddha being still around is higher, right?" Feng Yunsheng frowned.
Yan Zhaoge nodded lightly, "That's right."
Previously, he thought that the Pure Lands' disappearance was due to the merging of the central Blessed Lands of Saha.
However, from the looks of it now, while the two sides had a close relationship during the Journey to the West era, the possibility of it being the opposite was higher after the Journey to the West era.
After the Mystical Mountain's Tathagata Buddha and the Gautama Buddha transcended, the Future Maitreya Buddha was born and became the new owner of the central Blessed Lands of Saha. The Mystical Mountain's Western Heaven's Great Thunderclap Monastery's Buddhism began to change, slowly becoming what it was now.
At that time, some of the Mystical Mountain's Buddhist Bhantes converted to the Future Buddha, while some left the central Blessed Lands of Saha and joined the Western Pure Lands.
Although there was no way to confirm it, Paragon White Xiong's appearance and stance made people suspect it. If the ancient Dipankara Buddha, who once had many conflicts with the Daoism, hadn't perished, it was very likely that he had switched allegiance to the Western Pure Lands.
This Buddha was extremely ancient. He had already existed before the central Blessed Lands of Saha appeared, and he was even known as the Past Buddha.
According to the legends, he was a rather active bigwig expert.
Of course, most of the legends were fake. Now that so many years had passed, it was hard to ascertain the exact situation.
However, since there were experts from the central Blessed Lands of Saha who had defected to the Western Pure Lands, and there might even be quite a number of them, it meant that the Amitabha Buddha was still alive in this world.
Otherwise, it would be a miracle if the Future Buddha Ancestor didn't set his sights on enlightening the Buddhas of the Pure Land, let alone the experts of the Saha Buddhist School.
It was hard to say whether or not there was any kinship between them, but even if there was, given the current direction of Buddhism, it was not the time to talk about kinship.
Only existences above the Grand Heavenly Realm could make the Future Buddha feel wary.
Even if Amitabha was no longer around, there would definitely be other existences above the Grand Heavenly Realm presiding over the Western Pure Lands.
Otherwise, the Pureland of Bliss' experts wouldn't have participated in the war in such a high-profile manner.
With their behavior, even if the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was hidden and hard to find, it would still be easy for people to find clues after this battle.
Since he dared to be so high-profile, he must have something to rely on.
"So, here comes the second question …" Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Since the Demon Race dared to enter the world and go against the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where did they get their confidence from?"
The Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei shook his head slowly, "Existences above the Grand Heavenly Realm are hard to fathom, and information about them is a mystery. However, since the heretic Buddhists lured them in as reinforcements, and even went against the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, many things could be explained."
"That's right. I just don't know who's standing behind them." Yan Zhaoge smiled bitterly.
At this moment, he had thought of many things.
The Western Pure Lands had already gone silent during the previous era, which was the Journey to the West era. After entering the current era, no matter if it was before or after the Great Calamity, they had reappeared in the world recently …
The central Blessed Lands of Saha's Tathagata Buddha had transcended, and the Maitreya Buddha took over. After entering the new era, the Blessed Lands of Saha's teachings started changing. Some of the Blessed Lands of Saha's experts left and went into seclusion for the Western Pure Lands. Until now …
The Demon Race gradually weakened during the Journey to the West era. After entering the new era, most of them kept a low profile, as if they were recuperating. Now, they had reappeared in the world …
Before the Great Calamity, the Immortal Court didn't exist. After the Great Calamity, the Immortal Court appeared and stood against the Blessed Lands of Saha …
"The relationship between the four clans is quite interesting." Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself.
After the Demon Race experienced the Ancient era, the Ancient era, and the Investiture of the Gods era, they were no longer as powerful as before. The human race was the dominant race.
However, when the Demon Race completely weakened, it was still during the Journey to the West era – the Middle era.
The Middle Era was also the time when Western Buddhism spread to the East, and Buddhism began to flourish.
To be precise, it was the central Blessed Lands of Saha that prospered.
In the end, the Demon Race that was recuperating became the Blessed Lands of Saha's allies.
Even when the Future Buddha gradually evolved the Blessed Lands of Saha's teachings and was labeled as a "fake Buddha" by others, the Demon Race's attitude was still quite interesting.
Meanwhile, the current orthodox Blessed Lands of Buddhism had allied themselves with the Immortal Court.
Although they knew that it was impossible for them to ally with the Blessed Lands of Saha, the choice in front of them still made one's imagination run wild.
Yan Zhaoge gradually organized his messy thoughts. After arranging them, some guesses appeared in his mind. However, he wasn't able to verify them.
No matter if the past history was real or fake, there were always some people standing behind it.
"The situation is too chaotic, and the waters are too muddled. If we can't catch the fish, we might even become the fish that gets caught by others." Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "Before figuring out the situation, let's be more cautious and focus on accumulating more information."
"Now that they're fighting against each other, it's beneficial for us to keep a low profile."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Feng Yunsheng looking at him with a smile.
The others smiled as well.
The Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei and the Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong nodded in approval.
Seeing their expressions, Yan Zhaoge instantly guessed what they were thinking. He could not help but say helplessly, "Alright, alright. I admit that I often stir up trouble, cause trouble, and like to take risks. However, if I could just eat and be lazy, I would also be very content."
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
Just like what Yan Zhaoge said, everyone peacefully cultivated and accumulated their strength.
The great battle outside was like a raging fire, growing more and more intense by the second.
The Pill Hall was like a paradise. However, Yan Zhaoge and the others didn't want to hide their eyes and ears. While keeping a low profile and recuperating, they were constantly gathering more information about the outside world.
Some of the seemingly unintentional bits of information were very thought-provoking.
For example, under the rule of the Future Buddha, the Buddhist heretics still referred to themselves as the central Blessed Lands of Saha. The Demon Race also referred to them as such.
As for the orthodox Buddhist experts of the Blessed Lands, they were used to calling the Buddhist heretics as the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
Even the Immortal Court had changed the "Blessed Lands Evil" to "White Lotus Evil."
