On the summit of a tall mountain in the hinterland of Central Province, this was the tallest mountain in the region.
The people of the Empyrean Temple and Chu Xiu's subordinates were gathered here, waiting.
They were waiting for the Sanskrit Sect.
After fighting for so long, the Sanskrit Sect and the Empyrean Temple had come to a tacit understanding.
Both sides had used all their means and killed nearly ten cultivators from the other side. Now was the time for the final showdown.
After this battle, only the final victor would be able to participate in the Exalted Divine Palace contest.
Although the Exalted Divine Palace contest had six spots, the Empyrean Temple didn't want to give the remaining spots to the Dao Sect, the southern region, or the eastern region.
Many cultivators had gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch.
Outside of Central Province, it was rare to see the Empyrean Temple and the Sanskrit Sect fight to the death.
Although the Empyrean Temple and the Sanskrit Sect had clashed frequently over the years, those had been small-scale. Fighting on such a grand scale was rare.
This kind of scene was rare, so even if they wasted a day to snatch tokens and soul crystals, it was worth it.
Fajing and Chu Xiu stood on the summit at the same time. One dressed in white, the other in black, one bald, one with long hair, one with closed eyes and one with cold eyes. It was a very symmetrical and harmonious scene.
"Master Fajing."
"Hmm?"
Chu Xiu looked ahead. "I've always had a question. Why are the Sanskrit Sect and the Empyrean Temple fighting so fiercely?"
Fajing was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected Chu Xiu to ask such a question.
The Brahma Sect and the Heavenly Net Treasure Buddha had fought all the way from the Lower Realm to the Daluo Heaven, and neither side would rest until the other was dead. This seemed to be common knowledge, so he had never thought that someone would ask them why they were fighting.
After a pause, Fajing said in a low voice, "There is no right or wrong in the struggle between orthodoxies. There can only be one voice for the Buddhist orthodoxies. I firmly believe that the Zen Sect is the most outstanding, and the Sanskrit Sect thinks so too. Therefore, only one of us can stand until the end. "
Chu Xiu looked at Fajing with some surprise. He didn't expect Fajing to be so straightforward without any concealment.
Chu Xiu nodded in understanding and said, "It seems that the battle between the two sects in the Western Region can also be summed up in one sentence, and that is, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say."
Although Chu Xiu's summary was correct, Fa Jing still felt a little awkward.
The Heaven Luo Treasure Temple was a sacred land of the Buddhist Sect. Other than showing off their fists to the Brahman Sect, they would also treat others with kindness.
Fajing frowned slightly and explained, "Almsgiver Chu, you can understand it that way, but …"
Before Fajing could finish speaking, a powerful fluctuation came from afar.
The Rule Force lingered in the air, stirring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in Central State was pure and non-elemental Essence Qi, but under the stirring of the Rule Force, it bloomed with spots of golden sunlight.
Xin Jialuo was here!
A group of Brahman Sect monks dressed in slightly strange attire gradually climbed the mountain peak, each of their auras blooming to the extreme.
Compared to the monks of the Heaven Luo Treasure Temple, the auras of these Brahman Sect monks might be a little disorderly, but every kind of power was blooming. Amidst the chaos, there was a strange kind of balance.
Fajing said with a hint of disgust, "The so-called three supreme Buddhas worshiped by the Brahman Sect have thousands of incarnations, but in the end, they can't even recognize themselves. How can such a chaotic existence dare to say that they are Buddhas? They are all mixed up but not refined! "
Xin Jialuo's voice came coldly. "Mixed up but not refined? There are thousands of paths, but they all lead to the same destination. Even though the three gods of the Brahman Sect have thousands of incarnations, every incarnation can reach the ultimate, returning to the origin! "
At this time, Xin Jialuo looked at Chu Xiu again, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Chu Xiu, I didn't expect that before I could find you, you would actually go with the monks of the Heaven Luo Treasure Temple."
"I killed Moriha," Chu Xiu suddenly said.
Xin Jialuo subconsciously wanted to speak, but his expression suddenly changed.
"What did you say!?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I said, I killed Moriha. Isn't this the answer you have been looking for?
I also obtained his illusion technique. Not to mention, it is really useful. Although this guy's strength is not strong, his attainments in illusion technique may not even be comparable to a Martial Immortal.
As for the corpse, it seems that I randomly found a place to bury it. Wherever the grass is more vigorous, it should be buried there. "
"Chu Xiu! You're courting death! "
Xin Jialuo's eyes were filled with rage. It was not only because Chu Xiu killed Moriha, but also because Chu Xiu dared to say it in front of him.
One must know that he had investigated this matter for a long time, and even went to the Blissful Demon Palace, bearing a great deal of karma.
Actually, at this moment, all he wanted was to capture Chu Xiu, force him to tell the truth, and enjoy that pleasure.
In fact, he had more or less guessed Moriha's whereabouts. The truth was not important, but the process was important.
So, at this time, Chu Xiu actually directly told the truth. Xin Jialuo was furious not because Moriha was killed, but because Chu Xiu had ruined the process of him enjoying that pleasure.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Many people have said that. Unfortunately, I, Chu Xiu, have been courting death for so long, but I have yet to find it. Why don't I trouble Palace Master Xin Jialuo … oh no, I should be Hall Master Xin Jialuo now, to help me find it? "
The onlookers at the foot of the mountain looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of surprise. Some of them were even a little impressed.
After all, in the Daluotian, there were not many who dared to speak to the Sanskrit Sect like this.
Most of them knew that Chu Xiu was the successor of a Prime Sovereign and that he was the Prefectural Governor of the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Unfortunately, this identity was nothing in the eyes of the Sanskrit Sect.
The entire Imperial Sky Pavilion combined was no match for a hall of the Sanskrit Sect, and the Sanskrit Sect did not care about a mere Martial Immortal.
In the eyes of the Sanskrit Sect, the so-called Prime Sovereigns were no different from itinerant cultivators. At most, they were slightly stronger itinerant cultivators.
Although the Sanskrit Sect was considered a branch of the Buddhist Sect, in reality, they were much more ruthless than the Precious Buddha of Sky. They had never had so many concerns.
Xin Jialuo did not continue to be angry. Instead, he turned to Fajing with a faint smile on his face. "Fajing, I knew that the people of the Precious Buddha of Sky would not be easy to kill, but I didn't expect that you would choose to work with Chu Xiu in the end. This is not the style of the Precious Buddha of Sky."
Fajing's eyes were still closed as he said indifferently, "Why can't I work with Benefactor Chu? We, the Precious Buddha of Sky, are willing to work with you to kill the heretics of the Sanskrit Sect. The Buddhist Dharma is vast and boundless. It's not that it can't tolerate people, but it can't tolerate heretics like you. "
A strange smile appeared on Xin Jialuo's face. "Is that so? But do you know who the person you're tolerating is? Do you know how much karma he bears? He, Chu Xiu, has committed all sorts of crimes and slaughtered countless people. He has already sowed countless karma in the Daluotian Empire. Do you know that? "
At this point, Xin Jialuo suddenly shouted, "Everyone, please show yourselves. Today is a battle to settle karma. Not only will it settle the karma between my Sanskrit Sect and the Sky Net Treasure Buddha, but it will also settle the karma between you and Chu Xiu."
As Xin Jialuo's voice fell, several more people soared into the sky from the foot of the mountain and landed on the mountain peak.
The expressions of the crowd changed abruptly when they saw those people, and they began discussing among themselves.
One of them wore ancient bronze armor. His exposed arms were covered in strange crimson tattoos. He was the Hall of War Spirit's Hall Master, Zhuo Bufan, a Half-Step Martial Immortal.
Another person held a black longsword. His black robe fluttered in the wind, and the aura he emitted was extremely pure demonic aura.
Beside him were Yan Zhifei and the other disciples of the World's Sword Sect. Most importantly, the aura he emitted was similar to that of a Martial Immortal, yet not one. It was somewhat unfathomable.
That person was Yi Guixie, the Peak Master of the Nine Nether Sword Peak from the World's Sword Sect. In any case, there were already rumors in the outside world that Yi Guixie had already stepped into the Half-Step Martial Immortal realm several years ago. At that moment, even if he was already a Martial Immortal, no one would be surprised.
On the other side, there were only three people. However, their auras were extraordinary too.
The person leading them wore dazzling golden clothes and a scarlet sun crown. His appearance was masculine and handsome, and he also possessed the strength of a Half-Step Martial Immortal.
He was Ouyang Sheng, a disciple of the Primal Yang Heavenly Exalted Gu Zun. He had already shaken the Jianghu over a dozen years ago.
To ordinary martial artists, the Primal Exalts were mysterious and powerful. However, in reality, there were also differences in strength among the Nine Heavens of Martial Immortals.
Divine General Zhenlong and Venerable Gu Yue's lineage were considered ordinary, while the Galaxy Unfettered Cultivator's lineage was recognized as one of the strongest among the Primal Exalts. The Primal Yang Heavenly Exalted Gu Zun's lineage was the same.
In fact, Ouyang Sheng had already stepped out of the Jianghu to train more than a dozen years ago. His performance was extremely outstanding, and his name shook the Jianghu. He could directly inherit the orthodoxy of the Primal Yang Heavenly Exalted Gu Zun's lineage.
However, for some reason, he had also come to the Daluo Divine Palace's opening this time around.
Xu Jiang and Chen Jiulong stood behind him. The three lineages had a good relationship with each other. It was obvious that he had come for the two of them today.
Apart from them, there were quite a few rogue cultivators and people from small sects who had also come here.
Of course, their reason for coming here was even more sufficient. It was because they were all people who had been robbed by Chu Xiu. At this moment, seeing that everyone was about to besiege Chu Xiu, it would be strange if they didn't strike while he was down.
Seeing so many people from the Sanskrit Sect appear in the blink of an eye, the expressions of all the monks from the Deva Temple, except for Fajing, changed.
Xin Jialuo sneered. "Monk Fajing, didn't you just say that Buddhism is boundless and can accommodate people? Would you be able to tolerate these people? Can you help Chu Xiu?! "
