Although Merriment Temple had brought this upon themselves, the disciples of Merriment Temple absolutely could not accept the fact that they had fallen from one of the top three sects in Buddhism to its current state.
At a time like this, it was already good enough that they did not cry.
Therefore, during this time, some disciples of Merriment Temple had the idea of leaving Buddhism. Some of them were even martial artists above the Divine Transformation Realm.
After all, Divine Transformation Realm martial artists could dominate a region even in the martial arts world of the Central Plains, and Xiantian martial artists could do well in a small city. There was no need for them to continue living in a lifeless place like Merriment Temple.
In the past, if the people of Merriment Temple had done this, they would have been afraid of being hunted down by the experts of Merriment Temple. The problem was, how many experts were left in Merriment Temple now?
Xiao Moye and Ye Jianan had died in the hands of Su Xin, and Venerable Hidden Dragon had been forced to cripple his own martial arts. Now, he had gone to Arhat Great Joy's seclusion place to accompany an unknown existence.
The rest of the people were panicking. Now, the people of Merriment Temple really wanted to escape.
In the main hall of Merriment Temple, a Harmonious God realm martial artist of Merriment Cult sighed and said, "Junior Brothers, now that Merriment Temple is in such a state, are you still going to hold on?"
A tall and fierce-looking foreign monk bellowed, "Li Gaojia! If it wasn't for Merriment Temple, would you have such a cultivation base now? Now, seeing that your sect is in trouble, you want to escape. Are you worthy of the teachings of Merriment Temple? Are you worthy of Senior Brother Hidden Dragon? If it weren't for Senior Brother Hidden Dragon, we would have been killed by Su Xin two years ago! "
Li Gaojia sneered and said, "Don't preach such principles to me, Venerable Bo. Who caused Merriment Temple to become like this? It's them!
Before Arhat Great Joy went into seclusion, he handed over all the affairs of Merriment Temple to them. But now, they have run Merriment Temple to this state. Do you want us to continue guarding Merriment Temple and be buried with them? "
When Li Gaojia said this, everyone present fell silent.
Actually, they were very touched when Venerable Hidden Dragon crippled his own martial arts to preserve the Merriment Temple.
But the problem was that emotions couldn't be eaten. It was better to be realistic. They were Harmonious God Realm experts in their prime, and they still had hundreds of years to live. It was unwise for them to be buried with Joyous Temple at this time. Therefore, they were prepared to leave Joyous Temple and find another way out.
Seeing that his fellow disciples were all silent, it was obvious that they agreed with Li Qingjia's words, and even had the same idea as him. He could not help but sigh dejectedly, "Fine, you guys can leave if you want, but I won't.
If it wasn't for the Merriment Temple, I, Bo Zun, would just be a wandering child beggar in the Western Wilderness. Who knows when I would be buried in a heavy snow or cold wind.
As long as there are people, there will be a Merriment Temple. Even if you guys leave, I will still guard the Merriment Temple until I die! "
A few Harmonious God Realm experts stood up and placed their palms together to greet Venerable Bo.
They admired Bo Zun's choice, but unfortunately, they also had their own path to walk.
Just as they were about to leave, the entire mountain peak where Merriment Temple was located suddenly began to tremble. A terrifying aura came from the back mountain of Merriment Temple, as if it was going to soar into the sky!
Everyone present looked at each other. At this time, they could not care less about whether they should leave or not. Instead, they turned around and rushed towards the back mountain of Merriment Temple.
At this time, a large number of Merriment Temple's disciples had gathered at the back mountain of Merriment Temple. They looked at the back mountain where Arhat Great Joy was in seclusion with eyes full of excitement and a trace of disbelief.
After all, Arhat Great Joy had been in seclusion for a hundred years, but there was no news of him at all. Even the disciples of Merriment Temple thought that Arhat Great Joy had already passed away.
After all, Arhat Great Joy was from the same generation as the current abbot of Vajra Temple, a True Martial Realm expert, 'Buddha Treasured Sun' Suo Nanche. It was just that Suo Nanche was outstanding and advanced to the True Martial Realm, while Arhat Great Joy was slightly inferior and chose to go into seclusion. But now that a hundred years had passed, even if Arhat Great Joy did not die, his lifespan would probably be exhausted. Would he still be alive?
Many of the Merriment Temple's disciples present stared at the door of the seclusion place without blinking. Even Li Qingjia and the others who were about to leave had a look of anticipation on their faces.
They wanted to leave because they felt that there was no hope for Merriment Temple. But after all, they were disciples of Merriment Temple. They still had feelings for Merriment Temple. Even if there was still a glimmer of hope for Merriment Temple, they would not choose to leave.
At this time, the aura of the seclusion place became stronger and stronger. A powerful aura soared into the sky and finally exploded, so that half of Western Frontier could see it.
At this time, in the Vajra Temple, Suo Nanche, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and said doubtfully, "Is that Babukun? Did he succeed? That shouldn't be the case. His path is doomed to fail. Could it be that something happened to Merriment Temple? "
In the past, Suo Nanche and 'Arhat Great Joy' Babukun were from the same generation, and they even had a good relationship when they were young.
After all, Buddhism had been suppressed to the extreme by Shaolin Temple at that time, so almost all the sects of Buddhism rarely had internal strife.
But later, as Suo Nanche and Babukun both advanced to the peak of the Yang God Realm, their relationship became less pure.
After all, one of them came from the Vajra Temple, and the other from Merriment Temple. They also had to think about the sects behind them.
As long as either Suo Nanche or Babukun advanced to the True Force first, the sect would be the leader of Buddhism.
The fact was that the final winner was Suo Nanche, while Arhat Great Joy chose to go into seclusion to find the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and advance to the True Force.
At that time, Suo Nanche had already reached the True Force. With his eyesight at that time, he could naturally see how unreliable Arhat Great Joy's choice was. But at that time, he did not say anything to remind Arhat Great Joy.
It was not that Suo Nanche had a dark heart, but he knew that it was better to have one True Force than two True Forces in Buddhism.
If Suo Nanche and Arhat Great Joy had advanced to the True Force at the same time, would the Vajra Temple or Merriment Temple have the final say in Buddhism?
Neither of them were the kind of masters who would submit to others. At that time, even if they were to negotiate for peace, it was likely that they would have to fight amongst themselves first to determine the winner.
But the key problem was that Buddhism at that time could not tolerate the loss of such internal strife, so Suo Nanche deliberately suppressed Arhat Great Joy's cultivation. Otherwise, he would have advanced to the True Force.
Looking in the direction of Merriment Temple and feeling the powerful aura coming from there, Suo Nanche shook his head and did not say much, nor did he make any unnecessary movements.
Previously, Suo Nanche deliberately suppressed Arhat Great Joy's cultivation because he was worried about the internal strife of Buddhism. But now, he had nothing to worry about.
Buddhism had risen in the Central Plains, and the threat of Shaolin Temple no longer existed.
The most important thing was that the current Suo Nanche was no longer the Suo Nanche who had just entered the True Force. He was now rushing towards the Kamibashi Area. Even if Arhat Great Joy had really advanced to the True Force, Suo Nanche was confident that he could suppress him.
Looking in the direction of Merriment Temple, Suo Nanche closed his eyes again.
He had made up his mind. If Arhat Great Joy could give up the frictions and grudges of the past, then Suo Nanche would be willing to help Merriment Temple rise again and become an existence second only to the Vajra Temple in Buddhism.
After all, they were all from the same branch of Buddhism, and one more True Force Realm expert would definitely be of great help to Buddhism.
If Arhat Great Joy did not know how to appreciate favors, then Suo Nanche could only let him have a good look at how big the gap was between him and a True Force Realm expert.
At this time, it was not only Suo Nanche who felt that power. Most of the sects of Esoteric Buddhism had also felt that power coming from Merriment Temple. This also made the faces of the leaders of the other sects turn a little ugly.
Compared to Suo Nanche's indifference, these sects of Buddhism did not want Merriment Temple to have a True Force Realm expert rise again.
One of the reasons was that the way Merriment Temple did things was somewhat displeasing to these sects of Buddhism. For them, some of the doctrines of Merriment Temple were even close to heresy. They could not tolerate Merriment Temple sitting on top of them.
Moreover, Arhat Great Joy was not a good person to be around.
Among these sects of Buddhism, there were martial artists from the same era as Arhat Great Joy, so they were very clear about Arhat Great Joy's character.
Although Arhat Great Joy had the strength, he was too domineering. Moreover, he was simply unreasonable and extremely overbearing.
As the leader of Buddhism, Suo Nanche naturally had a very domineering character. However, the only advantage of Suo Nanche was that he abided by the rules. Therefore, he had won the favor of many sects of Buddhism. On the other hand, Arhat Great Joy did not abide by the rules and was hated by most sects.
Therefore, if the one who had been promoted to the True Force Realm was not Suo Nanche but Arhat Great Joy, it was estimated that Buddhism would have ushered in an internal conflict.
If Arhat Great Joy had really been promoted to the True Force Realm after coming out of closed-door training, it would definitely not be good news for the martial arts forces of Buddhism.
At this time, a huge power fluctuation had been going on for about a quarter of an hour in the back mountain of Merriment Temple. The surrounding weather had changed, and it was obvious that this powerful force had stirred up the weather.
Many of the disciples of Merriment Temple who were present were very excited. Stirring up the weather was already a means that only a True Force Realm expert could do!
The door of the closed-door training place rose with a loud bang, and a young monk with a cold face and bare upper body came out of the closed-door training place. He was surrounded by a terrifying aura, and every step he took caused the earth to tremble. His power was shocking.
However, at this time, there was a confused look in his eyes. Was he Arhat Great Joy or Venerable Hidden Dragon?
