Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 173 The Golden Buddha Temple is abolished and kicked out of Buddhism!

Zen Master Shih Hua felt it wasn't that he was cowardly, but rather that those who understand the times are wise!

However, Zen Master Shi Hua was more speechless than anything else; these disciples and their followers were really too much of a liar.

If these guys had only provoked a Nascent Soul cultivator, I could have managed to hold my own, but they actually managed to provoke a Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

Knowing he still had two or three thousand years left to live, he wanted to die sooner so he could inherit his mantle!

Shi Kong: Ancestor, it's all that old Living Buddha's fault for not reporting his cultivation level!
If he had known that the other party was a Tribulation Transcending stage ancestor, he would have knelt down to welcome him long ago.

The old Living Buddha shook his head helplessly at Zen Master Shihua's pleas for mercy.

"Unrepentant!"

The old Living Buddha has no shortage of a servant in the Integration Stage, nor does he lack a Golden Buddha Temple!

What he wants is for Jinfo Temple to recognize its mistakes and give an explanation.

The fact that Zen Master Shi Hua is so unrepentant is a classic example of how a crooked upper beam can cause a crooked lower beam!
The old Living Buddha's image of the Great Sun Buddha was crushed by a single palm strike from Zen Master Shi Hua's towering image.

At the same time, the combined cultivation level that Zen Master Shi Hua had achieved over thousands of years vanished into thin air.

"You monks of Jinfo Temple, as disciples of Buddhism, have long been committing evil deeds. Today, this old monk will punish you!"

With a loud shout, the Great Sun Buddha image, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, released the Great Sun Buddha light.

Under the continuous illumination of the Great Sun Buddha Light, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Hongfu Mountain coughed up blood one after another. The Golden Core cultivators' cores shattered, and the Nascent Soul cultivators' nascent souls vanished!

At this moment, apart from the monks of Jinfo Temple outside Hongfo Mountain, there are no Buddhist cultivators above the Foundation Establishment level on Hongfo Mountain.

"Today, I, the old monk Xuan Yu, in the name of the Living Buddha of Wanfo Temple in the Western Regions and the previous Buddha Master, proclaim to the beings of Daozhou in the Eastern Regions that from this day forward, Jinfo Temple is no longer a Buddhist temple!"

The old Living Buddha used the secret Buddhist technique of Great Brahma Sound to inform the outside world that the Golden Buddha Temple had been expelled from Buddhism.

The Golden Buddha Temple was doomed from then on. The old masters of the abandoned Golden Buddha Temple all lived much longer than expected.

If one cannot restore their cultivation level and does not have life-extending pills, they basically will not live for long.

Moreover, judging from their situation, ordinary life-extending pills are not very effective.

Now that the patriarchs of Jinfo Temple have been deposed, the disciples below them, who usually do evil deeds, will inevitably suffer the same fate without the protection of their patriarchs. They will basically have no choice but to seek refuge with another master.

After Cao Meng reported the latest situation of Jinfo Temple to He Huanzong via a telepathic jade talisman, he then said to the old Living Buddha:

"Old Living Buddha, the Buddhas of the Eastern Region Dao Continent are basically the same as those of the Golden Buddha Temple. Why don't you go and investigate them again!"

Now that there are no cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage at Jinfo Temple, Cao Meng plans to plunder its treasury.

However, before looting the warehouse, he needed to get the old Living Buddha out of there.

"Young friend, would you be willing to travel with this old monk?"

The old Living Buddha's words immediately put Cao Meng in an awkward position.

Cao Meng wanted to get rid of the old Living Buddha so he could plunder the resources of Jinfo Temple. He had no intention of continuing to guide the old Living Buddha.

If he goes to guide the old Living Buddha, who will empty this warehouse?
“Old Living Buddha, I haven’t been to the other temples either. I’ve only heard about their evil deeds, so I’m not really sure where they are!”

Moreover, with the disciples of Jinfo Temple having their cultivation crippled, other sects will inevitably come to take advantage of the situation. I plan to stay here and clean up the mess! Cao Meng casually made up an excuse. He wasn't going to lead the way; he wanted to stay here and empty Jinfo Temple of its resources.

"Young friend, you are indeed compassionate. In that case, this old monk will not insist. This old monk will go by myself!"

The old Living Buddha first praised Cao Meng, then changed the subject and said:

"Young friend, you are a person with great compassion."

"This ill-gotten wealth was all plundered by the Golden Buddha Temple under the guise of Buddhism. This old monk intends to return this wealth to those in need in the Eastern Region of Daozhou, is that alright?"

The old Living Buddha had cultivated for ten thousand years and was not stupid. He knew very well the greed in Cao Meng's eyes and understood his true thoughts.

If these resources weren't plundered by Jinfo Temple under the guise of Buddhism, the old Living Buddha wouldn't mind giving them to Cao Meng.

However, these resources were all plundered by the Golden Buddha Temple under the guise of Buddhism. Therefore, these resources must be returned to the people of the Eastern Region Dao Continent. This is an explanation from Buddhism to the people of the Eastern Region Dao Continent!
Convex (fuck dish)
Cao Meng's face was extremely embarrassed. He was extremely dissatisfied with the old Living Buddha's suggestion, but what could he say?
He was weak and insignificant, and the Golden Buddha Temple was destroyed by the old Living Buddha. What could he say?

After the old Living Buddha finished cleaning up the resources of Jinfo Temple, Cao Meng bowed to the old Living Buddha and said:
"Old Living Buddha, I am now being targeted by Chi Liyu, the Venerable of the Corpse Yin Sect. I wonder if the Living Buddha can help me get out of this predicament!"

Cao Meng felt that he had helped the old Living Buddha get rid of the great scourge, the Golden Buddha Temple, but had not received any real benefits. He needed the old Living Buddha to help him solve some problems.

With the old Living Buddha's strength at the Tribulation Transcending stage, he should be able to stop Chi Liyu from having any designs on him.

After all, that girl Chi Liyu is probably only at the Fusion Stage!

The old Living Buddha shook his head helplessly and said:

“Young friend, the Corpse Yin Sect has deep roots in the Eastern Region Dao Continent, and its foundation is unfathomable. Even I, an old monk, have no way to deal with the Corpse Yin Sect.”

"My young friend, the only way to escape danger is for you to come with me to the Western Regions, the Land of Buddha."

The beings of the Eastern Continent have a very shallow understanding of the Corpse Yin Sect, but the old Living Buddha knows a great deal about it.

The Corpse Yin Sect is not easy to touch. To do so would inevitably come at a great cost, and the Eastern Dao Continent would be plunged into chaos.

"Old Living Buddha, if I leave, that girl Chi Liyu will definitely take her anger out on the Hehuan Sect, so I can't leave!"

Cao Meng declined the invitation from the old Living Buddha.

Seeing the destruction of the Golden Buddha Temple today, Cao Meng realized how weak top sects are in the face of absolute power.

From the moment the old Living Buddha officially took action until the Golden Buddha Temple was destroyed, less than half an hour had passed!

The fact that the Corpse Yin Sect could make the Old Living Buddha wary shows that the Corpse Yin Sect must be quite powerful.

If I were to follow the old Living Buddha, I reckon that given Chi Liyu's personality, she would definitely not let go of the female demon, the great demon, the wronged senior sister, the widowed senior uncle, and Shishi!
Seeing that Cao Meng was unwilling to go to the Western Regions Buddhist Continent with him, the old Living Buddha could only shake his head helplessly.

The old Living Buddha handed his hand-held prayer beads to Cao Meng and said:
"Young friend, I am giving you this today. Perhaps one day when you encounter danger, it can help you turn the tide!"
"If one day you, young friend, come to the Western Regions of Buddhism and need help, you may also offer up these prayer beads!"

The old Living Buddha knew about Cao Meng's situation, which is why he gave Cao Meng his personal prayer beads.

After receiving the prayer beads, Cao Meng was overjoyed and asked:
"Old Living Buddha, what grade of magical artifact is this rosary?"

Previously, Cao Meng had witnessed the Living Buddha use these prayer beads to cripple more than twenty Void Refinement stage elders of the Golden Buddha Temple, including Fa Yun, a seventh-level Void Refinement stage elder!
In addition, the old Living Buddha was a great being in the tribulation stage, so the prayer beads he carried with him must not be ordinary items.

Therefore, Cao Meng was particularly curious about the grade of the spiritual treasure that was held in his hand. Given the status of the old Living Buddha as a great power who had undergone tribulation, could this string of prayer beads be an eighth-grade spiritual artifact?
After thinking about it carefully, Cao Meng realized that it was indeed possible!
