Dipankara Ancient Buddha definitely didn't want to fight this battle if he could avoid it.
Perhaps he was happy that the orthodox Dao Sect did not have an expert like Nezha, but the ancient Dipankara Buddha never planned to fight Nezha one-on-one.
After all, Nezha was extremely powerful, and he wasn't easy to deal with.
More importantly, even if he defeated Nezha, the gains would be limited, and the losses would outweigh the gains.
However, if the ancient Dipankara Buddha was seriously injured in the process of fighting with Nezha, it might affect the game about the Nine Nether in the future.
Back in the early years of the Middle era, the ancient Dipankara Buddha, who was already prepared to break through to the Tao Realm, had been waiting for this for too long.
If he missed this opportunity, he would really go crazy. What was even more worrying was that he did not know when he would get another opportunity.
Back then, the battle at the Immortal Extermination Formation was of great importance, so they had to fight for it.
Now that he was challenged by Nezha, it was obvious that it would cause more trouble.
For orthodox Daoism, if there was a chance to cause trouble for the ancient Dipankara Buddha, they would naturally be happy to do so. However, Yan Zhaoge felt that the ancient Dipankara Buddha was famous for being thick-skinned and black-hearted. The fact that Nezha had killed White Xiong might not be enough to provoke him into accepting the challenge.
"Beware of any tricks, or the other party trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes." Yan Zhaoge said.
"That's why I came to inform you as soon as you came out of seclusion. Let's discuss the rules together." Xue Chuqing smiled and said, "Fortunately, you came out of seclusion before this battle began, so you wouldn't have missed it."
Yan Zhaoge glanced at Feng Yunsheng, sighing, "I suddenly feel that it's also not good."
"Let's deal with Fellow Daoist Nezha first." Feng Yunsheng smiled at him and said, "As you said, the battle with the ancient Dipankara Buddha might not be that simple."
Yan Zhaoge glanced at her exasperatedly before saying, "Since time is tight, let's talk on the way."
A battle between Golden Immortal Realm experts, especially the top figures amongst them, was undoubtedly a grand event, and it had enormous reference value to others.
Even if Yan Zhaoge and the others weren't here to support Nezha and were merely spectators, they wouldn't miss it.
However, even a Grand Virtual Immortal would find it difficult to watch the battle between Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
Even though Xue Chuqing and Yuan Zhengfeng yearned to hear it, they did not have the strength to do so. They could only wait for the capable spectators to return and tell them about it.
While Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, and Xu Fei weren't Grand Heavenly Realm, they were capable of spectating the battle.
However, as the current Sect Leader, Xu Fei still decided to stay. Zhu Luo, Royal Reed Heaven, and Sky Beyond Heaven also needed experts to hold down the fort.
In the end, Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, and Yan Di left the Sky beyond Skies, left the Vermillion Royal Reed Heaven, and entered the void's boundless outskirts.
When Nezha challenged him, he had said that the location would be decided by the ancient Dipankara Buddha.
Now that the Dipankara Ancient Buddha had accepted the challenge, he naturally had to decide on the location of the challenge.
This ancient Buddha was really thick-skinned and black-hearted. He didn't hold back and directly chose to stay in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. He just wanted to see if Nezha dared to come.
While the ancient Dipankara Buddha firmly occupied the home ground, he was also preventing the people of the Dao Sect from supporting Nezha.
Nezha agreed immediately.
Yan Zhaoge and the others, on the other hand, had no choice but to consider this a little more.
"The good thing is, with this stance, we can basically be sure that Amitabha Buddha won't intervene."
Otherwise, the outcome would be the Immortal Extermination Formation descending upon the Western Pure Land, and the two factions would start an all-out war.
"The bad thing … there are plenty of bad things happening." Yan Zhaoge waved his hands as he walked, "If it's a one-on-one fight, there shouldn't be any problems. However, after the one-on-one fight, not to mention losing, even if we win, we might not be able to leave easily. Even if we help, it'll be difficult. The other party's home ground advantage is too huge."
He smiled, "Moreover, if I really enter the Western Pure Land, the Buddhist Sect would probably think of keeping me and the Three Sea Association Great Divinities here."
"Now that you have the Duo Flowers Converged Crown and the Spirit and Qi Flowers, it won't be that easy to keep you here. Besides, you're not going alone." Feng Yunsheng shook her head and said, "As for me, if I enter the Western Pure Land, it'll be hard for me to ambush my opponents like before."
After all, the owner of the Western Pure Land was the Amitabha Buddha. The Buddha's radiance was grand, and it shone upon millions of Buddhist Lands. It would be hard for Feng Yunsheng to hide her tracks.
However, she wasn't discouraged. With her current cultivation, even if she didn't ambush her opponents and attacked them openly, she would still be top-notch in the world.
Although her threat level had decreased, it was only compared to her original level.
"It's a pity that we can't bring the Green Lotus Flag with us this time. Although Amitabha Buddha has already bestowed the flag to Guanyin Bodhisattva, we're practically forcing Amitabha Buddha to take action if we bring the Green Lotus Flag to fend off the Buddhist experts in the Western Pure Land."
Yan Zhaoge said with pity, "He doesn't have to make things difficult for us. He just needs to take the flag away."
"If we could use the Green Lotus Flag, the Three Sea Association Great Divinities would be invincible against the Dipankara Ancient Buddha." Yan Di said, "Not to mention the Western Pure Land, even if we were to use the Green Lotus Flag to fight against the Buddhist Sect experts other than the Mahamayuri, it's still a provocation to the Amitabha Buddha."
"Indeed." After thinking for a while, Yan Zhaoge asked, "Will Daoist Yang come this time?"
"He'll come according to the news," answered Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "If that's the case …"
After pondering for a while, he said, "When the time comes, we'll have to count our manpower. Of course, we can't send everyone in. Not only do we have to wait outside, but we also have to be wary of the Demon Race and the Nine Underworlds."
The Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus were currently waging war against each other.
The Western Pure Lands' attention was occupied by the orthodox Daoism, and the Demon Race was free. How could the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus not seize the chance to attack the Immortal Court?
Of course, the Demon Race wouldn't personally attack the Immortal Court.
That would be equivalent to forcing Daoism to temporarily let Buddhism go and stop Nezha's challenge, giving Buddhism a chance to reinforce them.
Although Yan Zhaoge and the others hated the Immortal Court heretics to the core, it wasn't the time to eliminate them yet.
Unless they could kill the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
Otherwise, if the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord didn't die, and the Immortal Court was destroyed, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord might as well go all out, and the Immortal Extermination Formation wouldn't be able to restrain him anymore.
The Blessed Lands of the White Lotus suppressing the Immortal Court was something that Daoism would be happy to see.
However, beating them to death was an entirely different matter.
Even if they wanted to beat them up, Yan Zhaoge and the others would do it after they became stronger and no longer had anything to fear. Then, they would personally confront the Immortal Court about who was the orthodox and who was the heretic.
This time, although the Dipankara Ancient Buddha had the upper hand, and Yan Zhaoge and the others were quite cautious about it, they weren't too worried about it.
After all, the Demon Race was still eyeing them. The Western Pure Lands' orthodox Buddhism wouldn't fight against Daoism to the death.
Only, they couldn't let their guard down. Who knew if Buddhism and the Demon Race would suddenly make peace and plot against Daoism together.
The group discussed as they walked, and gradually approached the Western Pure Lands.
