"I can tell. You're purposely trying to piss me off." Feng Yunsheng glared at Yan Zhaoge.
"You've always been very calm and magnanimous. Others wouldn't be able to piss you off." Yan Zhaoge chuckled with a smug expression.
Feng Yunsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Yes, you're the best."
After chatting for a while, Feng Yunsheng suddenly felt a little depressed. She asked softly, "You haven't made much progress with the Boundless Dark Vow. I wonder if Little Wan and the others can wait until you succeed."
She and Meng Wan were like sisters, and their relationship wasn't inferior to Xue Fei, Ying Longtu, Sikong Qing, and the others.
Like Fu Ting and He Xixing, Meng Wan knew about the existence of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord before she reached the tenth level of the Martial Saint Realm.
If the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was willing, he wouldn't even need to touch them. With just a thought, he could illuminate the three of them.
Although it didn't happen, and Yan Zhaoge and the others used the Three Brilliances Sacred Water, Taiyi Fist, and many other techniques to obstruct it, they still couldn't be assured.
Feng Yunsheng had a resolute and open-minded personality. She wasn't worried about the Nine Underworlds Puzzle that might affect her. Instead, the matter of her best friend had always been a thorn in her heart.
Yan Zhaoge straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Currently, it's hard to be sure. However, I already have some ideas. Junior apprentice-sister Meng, Fellow Daoist Fu, and Fellow Daoist He might have a chance."
"It might be hard to say for those who have been illuminated by the heretics. However, junior apprentice-sister Meng and the others haven't been illuminated yet."
After a slight pause, Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, "We have some clues about the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment. It'll be of great help to me. Unfortunately, we don't have the Humanly Essence Stone fragment. Otherwise, we'd progress faster and gain more."
He turned his head and looked at Feng Yunsheng, "Although I still need many years, and I've just started to understand it, the Immortal Court wouldn't make any big moves in such a short period of time."
"The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord is also waiting for the Nine Underworlds Puzzle." Feng Yunsheng nodded, "A new Dao Ancestor might be born in this puzzle. Naturally, the few Dao Realm bigwigs wouldn't be taken lightly. Most likely, they would participate in this puzzle."
Although no one from the Immortal Court could compete for this position, there was no doubt that the final result would definitely affect the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord himself.
The same logic applied to the Future Buddha and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
"Let us wait and see." Yan Zhaoge's gaze was a little deep and distant as he looked through the Everlasting Cloud Vow and into the distance.
While Yan Zhaoge was managing the Everlasting Cloud Vow to Heaven, the outside world was similarly in turmoil.
Previously, when Nezha stepped into the Western Pure Lands to challenge the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, Yang Jian, and the others supported him.
The Buddhas of the Western Pure Lands were naturally on guard against the Dao Sect's direct lineage army.
The Blessed Lands of the White Lotus seized the opportunity when the Western Pure Lands' attention was distracted by the Daoism to initiate a war against the Immortal Court.
Later on, when the matter of the Yellow Earth Apricot Flag was exposed, the Daoism, the Western Pure Lands, the Demon Race, and the Nine Underworlds fought against each other. However, it did not affect the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' strategy.
Without the interference of other forces, they more or less had the upper hand against the Immortal Court.
If no one else came to disturb them, it might be the situation that the Future Buddha and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus were most willing to see.
However, after that, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' situation took a turn for the worse.
Not only did the Lotus Platform Spreading Buddha, who went to settle his grudges with Nezha perish, even the new Sword Buddha, Qu Su, was killed by Yan Zhaoge.
To the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, this was a huge blow to their vitality.
As the strongest individual among the Buddhas of the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the number one person under the Future Buddha, even if Qu Su didn't participate in the war, he was still a formless deterrent.
Without Qu Su, the Immortal Court's strongest Grand Heavenly Realm expert, the Lazy Heavenly Lord – Wang Guan, wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Just like the Future Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Qu Su and Wang Guan were restraining each other to a certain extent.
Now that Qu Su perished, the originally stable balance of strength instantly crumbled.
Qu Su and Wang Guan were restraining each other. However, the Immortal Court's Grand Heavenly Immortals were inferior to the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' Buddhas. Hence, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus had the upper hand.
Now, with Qu Su's death, Wang Guan was freed up. With just him alone, he could make up for the Immortal Court's disadvantage in terms of Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
Just this point alone changed the situation of the battle between the two sides.
Besides, Nezha's challenge against the Dipankara Ancient Buddha had temporarily come to an end. The Western Pure Lands no longer had anything to worry about.
On the other hand, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus's ally had lost nine Great Sages, which affected their strength and morale.
As such, this war lasted for a limited amount of time. Very quickly, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus retreated.
The Immortal Court's top-notch experts didn't pursue them. Only the middle and lower echelons of both sides continued to clash with each other.
Above the Immortal Court's Three Thousand Immortal Territories, the Heavenly Palace filled with pavilions was no longer in a dilapidated state after Yan Zhaoge wreaked havoc on it. After being repaired, it looked majestic and majestic.
Within the Heavenly Palace, a Daoist dressed in red robes sat within a palace. His face was indigo, and his hair resembled cinnabar. He had three eyes on his forehead, and he had three heads and six arms.
He was the Plague Lord of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace before the Great Calamity. Later on, he joined the heretics and ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm – the Vast Heavenly Emperor – Lu Yue.
He sat peacefully, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a while, a voice resounded from outside the palace, "I've troubled Daoist Brother Lu to wait for so long. Why did you suddenly think of coming to my place?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Yue's mind couldn't help but feel drowsy, and his heart was filled with fatigue.
He wasn't surprised, as the other party clearly didn't intend to target him.
Very quickly, a green-clothed man walked into the palace, "My humble abode is simple. Sorry for the delay, Daoist Brother Lu."
The person who came was the Great Dream Heavenly Lord, also known as the "Lazy Heavenly Lord" or the "Sleeping Heavenly Lord". He was the number one Grand Heavenly Realm expert of the Immortal Court – Wang Guan.
After Qu Su perished, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one heretic Grand Heavenly Realm expert.
"Daoist Wang, you're being too polite." Lu Yue stood up and greeted Wang Guan, "It seems like the White Lotus Evil Devils have been repelled."
"They took the initiative to retreat." Wang Guan replied absent-mindedly, "However, now isn't the time to fight them to the death. The Demon Race possesses a Buddha's Sarira, and we have to prevent Mahamayuri from betraying us."
Lu Yue said, "It's fine. Qu Su is already dead. We no longer have any disadvantage against the White Lotus Evil Devils. In fact, we might even gain the upper hand."
"Yes, Qu Su is dead." Wang Guan's voice was filled with oddness and mixed emotions.
It was as if he was feeling sentimental, regretful, sorrowful, angry, and mocking.
But in the end, there seemed to be nothing left, only deep exhaustion.
