The man at the Dao Integration Realm froze slightly when he heard Ning Cheng's words. Then, he nodded. "Yes, come with me. With your contributions, it won't be difficult for you to reach the second step even if you obtain some opportunities. "
He understood Ning Cheng's thoughts and felt that Ning Cheng's choice was the best. If Ning Cheng could bring Yu Qing to meet Huan Xi Venerate alone, he would naturally gain Huan Xi Venerate's favour. However, since such an opportunity had appeared in the Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom, the main credit would not go to Ning Cheng, but to the Lord of the Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom. Ning Cheng's choice not only saved his life but also benefited him.
Ning Cheng and Yu Qing were third-step experts, and their Dao runes had already formed their own nomological aura. Even late-stage Dao Integration Realm experts would find it difficult to see Ning Cheng and Yu Qing's true realm, let alone someone who had just entered the Dao Integration Realm. In the eyes of the Dao Integration Realm man, they were first-step experts.
"Daoist friend, I've long heard of Huan Xi Venerate's name. May I know which star continent he lives in?" Ning Cheng asked casually.
The Dao Integration Realm man snorted. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. With your realm, what can you do even if you know? Can you see Huan Xi Venerate? "
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and didn't speak any nonsense. Even if he wanted to make a move, he had to first find out about Cang Wei's movements. Moreover, he couldn't alert the enemy before doing so. If it weren't for Cang Wei, Ning Cheng would have already taken out the Lord of the Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom and fought him directly.
In just one incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng and Yu Qing were taken to a gold-plated palace.
The Divine Magus Palace was one of the three supreme treasures of the Witch Clan, but compared to the palace in the Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom, it was like a straw shed.
The entire palace was wrapped in extremely cold gold, and Buddha statues stood on both sides of the palace. Several thick incense sticks were burning, and a rich Buddhist aura permeated the palace.
A man in a buddhist robe sat at the top of the palace. He had a square face and a golden mask, and the aura of an expert could be seen at a glance.
"Daoist friends, your cultivation …" The man in the buddhist robe stood up when he saw Ning Cheng and Yu Qing. Unlike the Dao Integration Realm man, he could tell that Ning Cheng and Yu Qing weren't simple. He was not sure about Ning Cheng's strength, but he knew that Yu Qing was definitely not any weaker than him.
Ning Cheng did not expect that a Buddhist Country's Sovereign would have already stepped into the third step. Even if it was a Pseudo World, it was still not a simple feat.
After feeling the formidable strength of Ning Cheng and Yu Qing, the monarch wearing a buddhist robe realised that Ning Cheng and Yu Qing had not come because they feared him, the monarch, but because of something else. He then walked down, cupped his fists and said, "May I know your names?"
Ning Cheng also cupped his fists and spoke, "The King can directly address me as Ning Cheng. I passed by Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom and felt that the Buddhist Dao here is flourishing, so I came to pay a visit. "
Seeing that Ning Cheng didn't introduce Yu Qing, the king felt even more certain that Ning Cheng's strength was above Yu Qing's. "Dao Friend Ning is too polite. My Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom is not eye-catching among the Buddhist Kingdoms of the West. To be able to obtain Fellow Daoist Ning's favor is truly a joyous matter. If Fellow Daoist Ning doesn't mind, then you can just call me Xi Ya. "
In any place, the strong were respected. If Ning Cheng and Yu Qing truly hadn't taken the second step, then the king of Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom would at most meet Yu Qing. If Yu Qing truly was a good person, then he would give Ning Cheng some benefits and take Yu Qing away. But now that Ning Cheng's strength was so strong that he couldn't even see through it, how could he dare to mention anything about Yu Qing?
Even if Ning Cheng wanted to take Yu Qing to visit Revered Joy, it would have nothing to do with him.
"Since the two Dao Friends have come from afar, why don't we go to the guest hall together? I'm sorry for neglecting you here." Xi Ya spoke these words to make friends with Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng smiled, "Many thanks, Dao Friend Xi Ya."
Ning Cheng naturally wouldn't refuse the invitation of Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom's king.
… …
Xi Ya brought Ning Cheng and Yu Qing to the guest hall and personally accompanied them.
Compared to the Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom's palace, which was built entirely out of Supreme Mellow Metal, this guest hall was truly low-key. It didn't have any Buddhist charm lingering around it, nor did it have any kind of aura of the Power of Hope. It was just an ordinary place for receiving guests.
"The guests who come here are all my, Xi Ya's, best friends." After Xi Ya invited Ning Cheng and Yu Qing to sit down, he took the initiative to fill their cups with spiritual tea.
Ning Cheng could tell that this was not the only guest hall of Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom's king. The reason why this king brought him and Yu Qing here was that he truly wanted to make friends with them. From the looks of it, this king couldn't see through his strength and wanted to make friends with him.
Ning Cheng didn't refuse this invitation. This was the first time he had contact with Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom's king, and he didn't find this person annoying. What's more, he still had a lot of things to ask this king.
"Since we can sit here, we are naturally friends. I came to visit the king specifically because I have a few things to ask. "Ning Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, implying that he wanted to make friends with Xi Ya.
Xi Ya felt overjoyed and also picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Brother Ning, if you have something to ask, just say it. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Just as Ning Cheng saw him as someone worth making friends with, he also felt that Ning Cheng was someone worth making friends with. Although he had great strength, he wasn't arrogant. Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom lacked such powerful friends the most. Moreover, Ning Cheng didn't seem to belong to the Buddhist Dao. If he could lead Ning Cheng into the Buddhist Dao, it would be even more joyous.
"I heard that the Holy Buddha has a new Venerable? Venerable Cherry Blossom? "Ning Cheng asked directly.
Xi Ya subconsciously glanced at Yu Qing and roughly understood Ning Cheng's meaning. Ning Cheng wanted to take this woman directly to see the Holy Buddha and become the next Venerable Cherry Blossom. Indeed, meeting the Holy Buddha directly was much better than meeting Venerable Joy. In Xi Ya's heart, this woman was even better than Venerable Cherry Blossom. It's just that the Holy Buddha was different from Venerable Joy. Venerable Cherry Blossom didn't become a Venerable under the Holy Buddha because of her beauty.
"Dao Friend Ning, Venerable Cherry Blossom was originally from the Five Elements Universe. She came to my Western Universe for only tens of thousands of years and became a Venerable by virtue of her qualifications and her understanding of the Buddhist Dao. Even in my Western Universe, there aren't many of them. In the Whirling Great World, Venerables have a higher status than Venerables. "
Ning Cheng understood Xi Ya's words. That is, Venerable Cherry Blossom didn't just rely on her looks, but also on her qualifications and her understanding of the Buddhist Dao.
Ning Cheng was even more satisfied with Xi Ya's words. This meant that Xi Ya sincerely wanted to befriend him. Otherwise, he would have definitely said that Yu Qing's beauty would definitely attract the Holy Buddha's attention. At the same time, Ning Cheng also remembered the Whirling Great World. This place should be the world where Holy Buddha Qu Pu lived.
"So that's how it is. Did Venerable Cherry Blossom come to the Western Universe alone?" This was what Ning Cheng wanted to ask the most.
Xi Ya didn't think too much about it. "I heard that Venerable Cherry Blossom came here to kill someone. At that time, Venerable Cherry Blossom chased him to the outside of my Shi Tong Buddhist Kingdom and happened to see Venerable Joy passing by. He stopped Venerable Cherry Blossom and persuaded her to put down her butcher knife and become a Buddha … "
Yu Qing couldn't help but say, "I think Venerable Joy took a fancy to that woman and wanted to scheme against her."
She didn't believe that a monk who plundered all the women in the world would have such a good heart.
Xi Ya frowned slightly. Venerable Joy's Joyous Buddha Dao was a branch of the Buddhist Dao. What did this have to do with schemes? As a woman, who wouldn't want to comprehend the Joyous Buddha Dao with Venerable Joy?
However, he didn't explain anything and continued, "Venerable Cherry Blossom was extremely disdainful at that time and lost to Venerable Joy in a fight. In the end, she was willing to follow Venerable Joy to the Whirling Great World to cultivate the Buddhist Dharma. After Venerable Cherry Blossom went to the Whirling Great World, the Holy Buddha took a fancy to her, taught her the Great Dao, and became a Venerable. "
Ning Cheng thought that Cang Wei had been trapped by Venerable Joy under Zhu Yinghua's request. Ning Cheng didn't expect Cang Wei to be saved by Venerable Joy. Since Venerable Joy could stop Zhu Yinghua, he must be very strong.
"Dao Friend Xi Ya, how is the person Venerable Cherry Blossom was chasing?" Ning Cheng knew that once he asked about Cang Wei's whereabouts, Xi Ya would definitely suspect him, but he had to ask.
"Are the two Dao Friends friends of that person?" Sure enough, as soon as Ning Cheng asked, West Asia asked with suspicion.
