During the fight for the Immortal Extermination Formation, the orthodox Daoism had won the battle and reversed the perilous situation after the Great Calamity.
No matter if it was Yan Zhaoge, Yang Jian, or the others, they knew that this wasn't the time to relax.
They could only be said to be on the same starting line as their opponents, no longer lagging far behind like before.
However, it was still unknown who would be the first to reach the finishing line.
If anything went wrong, all of their previous efforts would go down the drain.
Now that the environment was more relaxed, it wasn't time for them to put their weapons away. Instead, they had to make use of this rare opportunity to accumulate as much strength as possible, in order to face the upcoming, even more intense competition.
"Everyone, you can return first," said Yan Zhaoge to Ying Longtu, Long Xingquan, and the Tai Yi Cultivated Deity.
Long Xingquan nodded, "Zhaoge, do as you please. I'll quickly inform the others about the abnormal situation in the Western Pure Lands. By then, someone will reinforce you."
"My disciple's situation is worrying, and I can't afford to relax yet. I can't leave for now." The Tai Yi Cultivated Deity said, "The two of us have been trapped for many years, and our understanding of the current situation is limited. It wouldn't be good for us to interfere. Hence, we can only hide for now. Thank you, Little Friend Yan."
"You're too polite, Cultivated Deity." After saying that, Yan Zhaoge bade farewell to everyone and entered the void. As for Ying Longtu, Long Xingquan, and the others, they returned to Zhu Luo's Royal Reed Heaven, Crimson Brightness, and Yang Heaven's Daoism territories.
After parting ways with the others, Yan Zhaoge walked alone within the void and pondered.
Of course, he couldn't just walk straight to the Western Pure Lands and ask the various Buddhas, "What's everyone busy with recently?"
Without mentioning whether they would tell him, if he dared to go, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the other bigwigs of Buddhism would be more than happy to keep him in the Western Pure Lands forever.
Currently, he hadn't heard any news of the orthodox Buddhism plotting anything. The other party had concealed the news very well.
If Yan Zhaoge wanted to find out more information, he would have to think about it.
However, there were still clues to be found.
The Western Pure Lands had invested a lot of manpower. With such a large-scale movement, it would be hard for them to not leave any traces behind.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't noticed any clues earlier that he hadn't paid much attention to it. But now that he had discovered the problem, he had the heart to look for it. What he had been careless about previously was no longer ordinary.
Yan Zhaoge first contacted the Incongruence Divine Mother.
Previously, after she recovered from her injuries and established the Crimson Light and Yang Heaven, the Goddess of Wudang replaced Fairy Yun Xiao to control the Immortal Vanquishing Array. She had been compatible with the void all year round and did not appear in the world.
To a certain extent, she was also monitoring the movements of the other forces.
With the Immortal Cultivation, the Immortal Divine Immortal Dao, the Spirit. The Immortal Exing Divine Formation.
Of course, she and the Immortal Execution Formation were the people that the other sects paid the most attention to.
After all, they weren't staring at each other face to face. It was hard for the Incongruence Divine Mother to come to a direct conclusion. However, Yan Zhaoge could obtain a lot of first-hand information from her, which was already very valuable.
Yan Zhaoge continued forward and approached the Universe Domain, where the Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus were clashing.
He did not continue to go closer. The fight over there had little to do with him.
Tian Heaven. to, the Yan To Tian Yan Yan Sect.
Yan to, he. only, if, he, to, Dao, he, it, he to he,., Dao, the.,, and Dao, and all...
The Immortal Extermination Formation posed the same threat to the other factions. However, the two heretics couldn't bear the consequences. As a result, the Immortal Extermination Formation posed the greatest threat to them.
After a long time, the void trembled slightly. Rays of clear sword-lights formed a world and enveloped Yan Zhaoge.
Within this world, the Incongruence Divine Mother's voice resounded, "Zhaoge, why did you come here?"
"I'm here to discuss something with you, Divine Mother," answered Yan Zhaoge.
"Where did the joy come from, and where did the sorrow come from?" asked the Incongruence Divine Mother.
Yan Zhaoge told her about the good news, "Our two Jade Clear senior bigwigs, the Taiyi Cultivated Deity and the Three Altars Oceanic Group Divinity, have returned. Only, the Three Altars Oceanic Group Divinity's situation is still a little inconvenient."
During the Ancient era, the Incongruence Divine Mother wasn't on good terms with the Jade Clear lineage. She agreed with Yan Zhaoge, "That's right. It's worth celebrating."
"Other than that, there's another matter." Yan Zhaoge told her about his suspicions regarding the Western Pure Lands, "I wonder if Divine Mother has noticed any abnormal movements regarding the orthodox Buddhism?"
The Incongruence Divine Mother didn't answer immediately. Instead, she pondered for a while before saying, "Perhaps there's something worth paying attention to."
"Shang Na and Xiu had entered the Western Pure Lands twice, and the time gap between them was extremely short." She said slowly, "I heard you mentioning that the Western Pure Lands might be plotting something. Now that I think about it, this matter might not be normal."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly, "Shang Na and the Exalt Xiu?"
Shang Na and the Exalt Xiu were one of the five hundred Arhats of the central Blessed Lands of Saha during the Middle era. They were proficient in Buddhism and possessed extraordinary strength.
However, in terms of cultivation, it wasn't enough for the Incongruence Divine Mother to pay so much attention to them.
The reason why she specifically mentioned them now was because of something else.
Yan Zhaoge naturally thought of the other label on Shang Na and the Exalt Xiu.
Ananda's disciple.
During the Middle era, the Gautama Buddha stood in the central Blessed Lands of Saha. Among his many personal disciples, two of them were extremely famous.
Maha Kasyapa and Ananda.
From Shang Na and the Exalt Xiu, Yan Zhaoge naturally thought of Ananda.
He believed that the Incongruence Divine Mother had the same thought as well.
No matter if it was Kasyapa or Ananda, both of them perished during the end of the Middle era. During the beginning of the Modern era, the Maitreya Buddha caused a huge change in the central Blessed Lands of Saha.
However, just like how Yan Zhaoge easily thought of Ananda from Shang Na and the Exalt Xiu, Ananda could also easily think of the Mystical Mountain's Tathagata Buddha.
"Gautama Buddha, or should I say, Daoist Ancestor Zhun Ti, did he leave anything behind?" Yan Zhaoge frowned, "I didn't hear anything about it, except …"
He paused for a moment.
Unlike the Three Clear Grand Masters who left behind treasures like the Six Soul Banner, Green Duckweed Sword, and Triratna Jade Scepter, the similarly transcended Daoist Zhun Ti didn't seem to have left behind any treasures.
Not only did he not leave behind any treasures after transcending as the Mystical Mountain's Tathagata Buddha, none of the treasures that shook the world during the Ancient era were left behind.
If there were things like the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree or the Six Purified Bamboo, Yan Zhaoge believed that the Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the Guanyin Bodhisattva wouldn't have missed it. They wouldn't have waited so many years to search for it.
If there were any exceptions, it would be the Buddha's sariras that attracted Mahamayuri's attention …
Yan Zhaoge's voice paused, and the Incongruence Divine Mother's voice resounded again, "Looks like you've thought of it as well. This is the most likely possibility."
