A green lotus appeared, with lights faintly flickering on the lotus platform. A powerful and lofty aura permeated the surroundings, suppressing Long Xingquan's will.
A group of Buddhist Bhantes appeared.
Moreover, there were many Grand Heavenly Realm experts among them.
A majestic Buddhist chant resounded, and a fragrance permeated the void. Within the glass-like Buddha light, the pagoda and the Bodhi forest were faintly discernible, as if a Buddhist country had descended upon the world.
However, in the next instant, the scene of the Blessed Land of Joy was destroyed.
Two powerful auras approached from afar. Under their attacks, the glass-like Buddha light was no longer pure, and the pagoda and the Bodhi tree collapsed.
Yan Zhaoge and the Taiyi Cultivated Deity appeared and calmly looked towards the green lotuses.
Under the influence of their auras, the Buddha silhouettes on the green lotuses became clearer and no longer ethereal.
The person in the lead was none other than the renowned Great Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra.
During the Ancient era, the Samantabhadra Cultivated Deity of the Daoism's Jade Clear lineage and the Taiyi Cultivated Deity was a veteran Grand Heavenly Immortal. After the Ancient era, he abandoned the Daoism and entered Buddhism. After attaining enlightenment, he transformed into the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Before the Tathagata Buddha had transcended, the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and the Manjushri Bodhisattva served as the Tathagata Buddha's attendants and guarded the central Blessed Lands of Saha.
After that, Sakyamuni Tathagata transcended, and the Future Buddha Maitreya was born, the central Blessed Lands of Saha underwent a huge change. The Samantabhadra Bodhisattva left and entered the Western Pure Lands. Ever since then, he lived in seclusion and rarely appeared.
During this era, during the Great Calamity, the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was still rarely seen. Only in the recent few hundred years, when the entire Western Pure Lands returned to the world, did the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva reappear.
After receiving Muzha's report and the Western Pure Lands' mediator, Muzha's master, the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, led the team over.
Beside the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva stood other Buddhist Bhantes. Among them, there was the Luo Yan Buddha, who had also attained enlightenment.
However, the first person that attracted Yan Zhaoge, the Taiyi Cultivated Deity, and Long Xingquan's attention was a middle-aged man.
Although the man's body was also surrounded by a pure Buddhist aura, he was not dressed like a monk. Instead, he was wearing armor and a Golden Winged Crow crown on his head. He was holding a pagoda in his left hand and a sword in his right. He had a dignified demeanor.
It was the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of the Heavenly Courts' Divine Palace, Li Jing.
When Yan Zhaoge and the Taiyi Cultivated Deity saw him, joy appeared on their faces, and they both let out a sigh of relief.
This action confused Samantabhadra, Narayan Buddha, and Li Jing.
However, there was something else that attracted their attention.
Perfected Taiyi sat on his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield. The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield was clearly extremely restless as it swayed. There seemed to be something suppressed beneath it.
On top of the transparent cover, Yan Zhaoge's Golden Body of the Great Sage was even supporting it with the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel.
He was very curious about what was under the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield.
Suspicion appeared on the faces of the Buddhist experts as if they had thought of something.
"Back then, Perfected Taiyi seemed to have helped that evil creature break out of the encirclement …" Heavenly King Li felt his heart skip a beat. "Although that evil creature is seriously injured and cannot be treated, so many years have passed. There might be other possibilities."
The bewildered Heavenly King Li looked at Mu Zha, who was captured by Yan Zhaoge, and became even more anxious.
"Daoist Taiyi …" Just as Samantabhadra spoke, Perfected Taiyi smiled, "Don't be in a hurry, Daoist Samantabhadra. Let's catch up later. Let's settle another matter first."
As he spoke, he released the suppression of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield.
The Demon Monkey that Pan-Pan transformed into also lifted the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel and leaped away.
The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield was almost instantly overturned.
As the flowing fire spread everywhere, a silhouette rushed out from within. He seemed like an Asura that had returned from hell. His malevolent intent permeated the air, making it hard for others to look at him.
Samantabhadra focused his gaze and saw that the silhouette belonged to the Three Altars Sea Meeting's Great Divinity – Nezha!
However, compared to before, Nezha was different now.
The surface of his skin that was originally as white as a lotus root was now blood-red. Even his face looked mournful, filled with resentment and malevolence.
The Three Altars Sea Meeting's Great Divinity stood on the Wind Fire Wheels. After he appeared, his gaze immediately locked onto the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King – Li Jing!
Seeing that, Li Jing felt that something was amiss.
Without waiting for him to speak, Nezha let out a furious roar. His figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of him. He held the Fire-tipped Spear horizontally and stabbed it towards his chest!
Samantabhadra sighed and did not directly help.
That was because after Perfected Taiyi retracted the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield, he had already rushed towards him.
"Fellow Daoist Samantabhadra, we can catch up now," said Perfected Taiyi with a faint smile.
On the other side, the monkey also held the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel and attacked the Buddhas of the Western Paradise, not giving them a chance to help Li Jing.
Yan Zhaoge made a move and saved Daoist Miao Chen, who was captured by a Bodhisattva.
On the other side, Nezha was like a mad tiger. His Fire-tipped Spear was deadly as he pointed it at Li Jing.
Li Jing hurriedly took out the Ru Yi Golden Pagoda. Although this treasure was sharp and specialized in restraining Nezha's Treasure Lotus Immortal Body, Nezha, who had ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm, was different from him when he was at the Grand Virtual Realm in ancient times.
Although the Ru Yi Golden Pagoda was good, it could only play a decisive role when others were fighting against Nezha.
When facing Nezha alone in Li Jing's hands, he couldn't suppress him. He could only resist for a while.
Just like how Nezha was reborn in the form of a lotus after his first death tribulation, he chased after Li Jing until there was no way out. Today seemed to be another reincarnation.
Samantabhadra glanced at Muzha, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. However, he could only try his best to shake off Yan Zhaoge, Perfected Taiyi, and the others along with the other Buddhist Bhantes to chase after Nezha.
At the same time, someone chanted the Buddha's name in the faraway void.
A green lotus appeared within the dark universe, and a Buddha sat on the lotus. His body was blue, and his right hand held a treasured pennant on his left shoulder, while his left hand held the Dhyana Mudra.
He was the Red Inferno Dhvajra Lord that Yan Zhaoge had interacted with before.
After he appeared, he attempted to receive Samantabhadra and the others.
The Western Pure Lands' Buddhist Bhantes were extremely careful when they came over. They specifically made many arrangements to prevent anyone from ambushing them.
Although they were still affected by Yan Zhaoge and the others, they had their own backup plans.
However, their efforts were futile.
Amidst the deafening roar, a golden violent ape leaped out from another void and disrupted the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's and the Red Inferno Dhvajra Lord's arrangements.
After Yan Zhaoge exited the Great Wilderness Origin Palace, other than contacting Long Xingquan and Daoist Miao Chen, how could he forget about his North Ocean Clone?
His North Ocean Clone manifested another Golden Body of the Great Sage. Demonic qi surged into the skies, and he attacked together with Yan Zhaoge and the others, instantly dragging the group of Buddhist Bhantes into a chaotic battle.
