Chu Li frowned as he looked at the two young monks.
They both wore purple kasayas, showing their noble status. One was handsome while the other was chubby like the Maitreya Buddha.
The handsome monk clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of the Demon Subduing Temple Master, good skills!"
"That's the Passing Light Divine Sword." The fat monk chuckled and asked, "What a vicious sword. It goes against the harmony of heaven and earth. It's better to use it sparingly to avoid incurring endless karma. Amitabha."
He could tell that the Passing Light Divine Sword could directly destroy souls. Those who died under the Passing Light Divine Sword could not enter reincarnation and would directly disappear from the world. This was tantamount to incurring karma and going against the principles of reincarnation.
Chu Li calmly pressed his palms together. "Masters, what can I do for you?"
He had already recognized them.
The handsome young monk was the Samsara Temple Master, Monk Wu Ming. The other chubby young monk was the Tathagata Temple Master, Tan Meng.
When these two monks fought with Monk Cheng Yun, he saw it with his own eyes and knew their identities.
As the Hall Masters of two of the Five Great Halls, their cultivation bases were also the highest, only slightly inferior to his. If the two of them were to team up, and if they had treasures to protect themselves, it was not impossible for them to challenge him.
"Amitabha." The two monks pressed their palms together.
Chu Li looked at them calmly.
"Master Ding Ru, we're here to persuade you." The chubby Tan Meng grinned. "Why do you have to ask for trouble and go against the heavens?"
Chu Li laughed. "Masters, are you here on Miss Zhou's orders?"
"No." Tan Meng shook his head. "We came here on our own."
Chu Li frowned. "If it's not Miss Zhou's orders, why are you here?"
"Miss Zhou is the Child of Heaven and Earth. She came with a wish, "Tan Meng said." Her goal is not to destroy the Buddhist Faction, but to combine the Demonic Faction with the Buddhist Faction. "
Chu Li laughed and shook his head. "The Buddhist Faction and the Demonic Faction are like fire and water. How can they be united?"
"Why not?" The handsome Monk Wu Ming said coldly. "Just like our Five Major Temples. Which one of them isn't united?"
Chu Li frowned at him.
Monk Wu Ming said, "Once the Buddhists and Demons are united, they will definitely surpass the current Buddhism. At that time, which sect in the world can stop them? There will be countless believers in the world, how can the Buddhism not prosper?"
Monk Tan Meng nodded slowly in agreement.
Chu Li said, "How ambitious."
He didn't expect Miss Zhou to have such great ambitions. She actually wanted to unify the Buddhist Path and the Devil Path.
"Although our Buddhism is big, there aren't many among the top hundred sects." The Wuming Monk said in a deep voice, "They are being suppressed by the various factions intentionally or unintentionally. The scale of their believers is also insufficient."
Chu Li frowned. "It's already not bad."
"It's far from enough." Wuming Monk said in a deep voice, "Master Ding Ru, don't you want to establish a Buddhist nation on earth and turn this world into a paradise?"
Monk Tan Meng said sternly, "As long as there are enough believers, our world can be transformed into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. What kind of merit would that be? All Buddhist disciples won't have to enter reincarnation anymore!"
As he spoke, his eyes shone with a fanatical light.
Chu Li frowned as he listened, deep in thought.
He never thought that the two of them would have such thoughts. They were even more ambitious than him. He only thought about how to ascend to the next level and never thought about turning this level into a paradise.
If it could become a paradise, the Buddhist disciples of this world would be directly in this world after they died. They would then be reincarnated and continue cultivating. This way, they would be reincarnated between life and death and eventually become Buddha.
With Buddha, this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss would be even more powerful. Even if the Buddhist disciples did not reincarnate after death, they would still be able to live in this world.
The two monks stared at him without blinking.
Chu Li pondered for a moment before shaking his head and sighing. "Grand ambition, I'm impressed."
"Then join us and lend Almsgiver Zhou a hand." Monk Tan Meng laughed as he listened. "Although she's a woman, she's the reincarnation of Guanyin. She's the most crucial person to realize the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
Chu Li said, "Are the two of you so confident that she can do it?"
"Lady Zhou's knowledge is as profound as the heavens, and her skills are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. She has reached an unimaginable level." Monk Wu Ming said calmly, "If she can't do it, then no one else can."
Monk Tan Meng said, "She's worth a try. At worst, we'll just die."
Chu Li said, "I'm just afraid that she'll be the first to destroy the Buddhist Sect and let the Demonic Sect rule this world."
Monk Wu Ming said calmly, "Although Miss Zhou has suppressed the Twelve Demon Sects, she has never attacked the Buddhist Sect. She's not from the Demonic Sect."
Chu Li said, "Although she didn't attack, the Demonic Sect did. Without her secret permission, the Twelve Demon Sects wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Moreover, it's shocking that the Twelve Demon Sects have recovered to this extent."
The two monks shook their heads and smiled.
Monk Wu Ming said, "The recovery of the Twelve Demon Sects has nothing to do with Miss Zhou. It's the result of the ebb and flow of Yin and Yang. They've been weak for a long time and it's time for them to rise again."
Chu Li frowned.
Monk Tan Meng said, "Master Ding Ru, there's no need for Miss Zhou to lie to us about this. She saw that the Twelve Demon Sects are rising again, so she secretly tamed them to prevent them from going against the Buddhist Sect."
Chu Li chuckled. "She's aware of the Blood Sun Sect's actions, right? Since when did she interfere?"
"She's always been in isolated cultivation. How could she care so much? Moreover, the world has its own rules. She can't interfere with everything." Monk Tan Meng said, "She's not a Buddhist Protector, nor is she one of the Five Major Temple Leaders."
"This Miss Zhou is unscrupulous." Chu Li shook his head.
He thought of the situation where he was coerced, and his anger surged again.
Monk Tan Meng smiled. "This is just a test of character. She won't really kill anyone."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Then have the two Masters passed the test?"
"We made the same choice as you, Master Ding Ru." Monk Tan Meng nodded and smiled. "We'd rather die than live in dishonor."
Monk Wu Ming said, "We hated Miss Zhou back then too."
"What changed your mind after that?" Chu Li asked.
Monk Wu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Monk Tan Meng also smiled bitterly.
Chu Li said, "It can't be that she captured you and had a heart-to-heart talk with you, right?"
"More or less," Monk Wu Ming said.
Monk Tan Meng chuckled. "We're completely convinced. Miss Zhou's methods are very powerful. We don't want Master Ding Ru to personally experience it, so we came to persuade you in advance."
Chu Li scoffed. "Then I'd like to personally experience Miss Zhou's methods."
"Sigh." Monk Tan Meng shook his head. "Master Ding Ru, we won't lie to you, nor will we harm you. If you give in early, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble."
Chu Li said, "Do the two Masters really believe in her great ambition?"
"She swore a poison oath," Monk Wu Ming said.
Chu Li frowned. "A poison oath might not work. It might not be true."
"We'd rather believe her this time." Monk Wu Ming said in a low voice, "You only have one chance."
Monk Tan Meng nodded vigorously.
