Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Just a few hours after the Queen of Xiliang ordered the retreat, all the disciples from various Daoist temples in Xiniu Hezhou had evacuated the area.

When the Buddhas of Mount Ling arrived in a menacing manner at the place where the disciples of those temples were causing trouble.

All I saw was chaos and ruin...

……

Outside of Ling Mountain.

The world was shattered, and storms raged.

Darkness surged in the sky, and the earth turned into lava.

The towering Buddha's palm gradually dissipated, eventually transforming into Buddha's light and disappearing without a trace.

Not far away, Maitreya Buddha stepped forward, his face showing no obvious change in expression, and simply waved his hand casually.

The Buddha's light shone brightly, spreading throughout the entire world.

Having reached his level, he had already comprehended many supernatural powers and grasped some of the laws.

The changes of heaven and earth are but a thought away from him.

The lava solidified, and the darkness receded.

The shattered earth reformed, and the cracks in the sky were repaired.

As green light shines down, life emerges, and the jungle becomes lush.

In just a short moment, the world returned to its original state, peaceful and serene.

If anyone else came here, they would never guess that such a terrifying battle had taken place here.

After Maitreya Buddha finished doing all this, his expression seemed unchanged, but in reality, he also sighed slightly.

Even if the scene is restored, what good will it do?

Three mysterious figures wreaked havoc on Mount Ling, killing four Arhats and then battling three Bodhisattvas.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned evil and became a demon. After his death, his personality changed drastically. Before reaching Mount Ling, he defeated the three great Bodhisattvas.

Then, after fighting Maitreya Buddha, he actually withstood a palm strike from Tathagata Buddha and escaped!

This matter, no matter what, is destined to shock the entire Three Realms!

This will cause a huge upheaval in the Three Realms!

Looking at the three Bodhisattvas in the distance, whose faces were pale and who were seriously injured, Maitreya Buddha waved his sleeves and took the lead in walking towards Mount Ling.

"Let's go."

"This incident needs to be discussed carefully."

"We really need to find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible."

Maitreya Buddha spoke slowly, his eyes flashing with holy light.

"We must not allow him to continue causing trouble and disrupting the prosperity of our Buddhist community..."

……

In the heart of Mount Ling, numerous Buddhas gathered to clean up the chaotic scene.

Far away from Mount Ling, the Queen of Xiliang and her two companions, along with the Howling Celestial Dog, were flying silently forward.

"After this great battle at Mount Ling, we need to gather all our fellow disciples together," said the Six-Eared Macaque.

"Well, that's about it. After we reunite, we should go to the dojo to find our master. It would be best if our master treated Lin Xi's injuries," said the Queen of Xiliang.

"Just now I think I saw you, Howling Celestial Dog, go to Mount Ling during the great battle, right? Did you get any treasures that you can offer to your master?" The Golden-Winged Roc King suddenly turned his head and looked at Howling Celestial Dog.

At the same time, the other two people also turned their heads and looked over.

The Celestial Hound, who was rummaging through his floral underpants, tallying up his gains from his trip to the Buddhist temple, suddenly shuddered upon hearing these words!

Howling Celestial Dog: "???"

What do you guys mean?
These are all my treasures, treasures that I want to present to my master!
Show respect to your teacher by using your own precious treasures!

Queen Xiliang and the other three flew swiftly through the air, intending to meet up with their fellow disciples from various temples and then visit their master together.

While they were discussing...

Queen Xiliang suddenly looked up at the sky.

The Golden-Winged Roc and the Six-Eared Macaque also looked up suddenly.

"Shh!"

A flash of light flashed.

Ksitigarbha, dressed in a blood-red robe engraved with thousands of demon faces, quietly appeared before them.

His eyes flashed with a divine light, and with a slight turn of his wrist, he flicked out a sleeve.

"Boom!"

A terrifying Buddhist light emanated from behind the Queen of Xiliang and her three companions!

Immediately afterwards, an invisible Buddhist aura behind the four was completely shattered by Ksitigarbha!
All four of them were stunned.

"Thank you, Ksitigarbha Buddha!"

After realizing what had happened, the Queen of Xiliang quickly bowed and expressed her gratitude.

She understood that this was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva using his great supernatural powers to sever their tracks and conceal the cause and effect of their war with Mount Ling.

"No need to be so polite. You are disciples of the senior, and this is what I should do."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke slowly, his robes fluttering in the wind.

The current Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is completely different from his previous frenzied appearance in front of Mount Ling; he appears calm and peaceful.

The four women, including the Queen of Xiliang, exchanged glances. To be honest, the sudden appearance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva here was a great surprise to them.

Although I had heard that my master had tricked Ksitigarbha into going to the temple, intending for him to attack Mount Ling.

But to their utter surprise, their master actually sent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

What methods did Master use to make Ksitigarbha, one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, attack Mount Ling?
The four women, including the Queen of Xiliang, were filled with doubt. What else could they say?

Master is mighty...

After a moment's thought, the Golden-Winged Roc King slowly spoke: "May I ask, Great Emperor Ksitigarbha, have you visited the temple and met your master?"

"Just call me Ksitigarbha." Ksitigarbha nodded gently.

“I did visit the dojo and met the senior monks, and I received a lot of guidance from them.”

"It can be said that without the guidance of my predecessors, I would probably still be in the dark, working hard for Buddhism."

"Being a pawn, yet completely unaware."

As he spoke, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed afraid that the four of them would not believe him, so he took out the Vajra Pestle.

This ancient, supreme imperial weapon, with four sides and three blades, spun rapidly in the air, emitting an eerie Buddhist light.

"This is the magic weapon that the senior lent me."

Upon seeing the Vajra Pestle, the Celestial Dog immediately barked loudly.

"Ah!! I recognize this! I saw it in the treasure pavilion, but I couldn't pick it up back then!"

Treasure Pavilion?
When did a treasure vault appear in the temple?
The three women, including the Queen of Xiliang, were taken aback.

Seeing this, the Celestial Hound's eyes darted around, and he quickly added.

"The three senior brothers and sisters don't know?"

"That was just built by Master, not long ago. My Anlan Spear, Devouring Demon Jar, and General Appointment Platform were all bestowed upon me by Master..."

"They said it could be used to help you..." Upon hearing this, the Queen of Xiliang smiled slightly and bowed to Ksitigarbha, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

The six-eared macaque also said solemnly, "Thank you for saving my life, senior."

The Golden-Winged Roc King also bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Ksitigarbha."

"No need to be so polite," Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said calmly, his voice carrying the gentleness of an elder.

“Your master has been very kind to me in resolving my doubts and imparting knowledge, and even without my intervention, you would most likely have been able to escape.”

"After all, you are the senior's disciples. The senior is all-powerful, how could he let anything happen to you?"

"I suppose the senior has been watching you secretly all along, which can be considered a way to train you!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples suddenly realized the truth of the matter, feeling both moved and ashamed.

Dapeng said nervously, "I don't know if Master has seen our battle. I'm afraid Master will be disappointed in us."

Liu Er was also somewhat bewildered: "I hope I haven't let Master down."

The eldest sister, Queen Xiliang, laughed and said, "Don't worry, Master's trials for us will definitely go beyond this. I guess..."

The group all turned to look at her.

The Queen of Xiliang continued, "I suspect that this arrangement of the Three Realms is the path of growth that Master has laid out for us! Otherwise, why would Master disband the Daoist temple at this time and send us out of the mountains?"

"Moreover, Master has said many times that the strong rise from battle. Now that the Three Realms are in turmoil, Master's plans for the Three Realms should be our whetstone and path to sainthood!"

Dapeng nodded repeatedly: "Master has chosen the Three Realms as our training ground. This is a great expectation for us. He wants us to reach the pinnacle!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was listening to their conversation, was utterly shocked and exclaimed in admiration, "Using the Three Realms as a whetstone! Truly the skill of a senior, with such great supernatural powers!"

"The senior's abilities are truly admirable!"

Upon hearing this, Dapeng and the others nodded in agreement, proudly saying, "Our master has always been like this!"

If Lin Nan were here, he would probably want to vomit blood.

I'm not afraid of exaggerating too much, I'm just afraid of my disciples having too many wild imaginations...

Meanwhile, seeing everyone chatting away, Xiaotianquan's eyebrows twitched and his face darkened.

"Don't try to change the subject. Do you need to tell me how mighty Master is? Are you trying to steal my magic treasures?"

As if she hadn't heard the Howling Celestial Dog's words at all, the Queen of Xiliang shook her head and spoke softly.

"Regardless, we must thank you, senior. Without you, we would never have been able to inflict such heavy damage on Buddhism."

"You have indeed damaged Buddhism, but it is far from crippling. Buddhism is not as simple as you think."

Ksitigarbha shook his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and gazed in the direction of Mount Ling, his eyes flashing with divine light.

The Celestial Hound squinted, his tone unfriendly: "Hey, don't pretend you didn't hear me, it's my magical artifact..."

"In this great battle, has Mount Ling still failed to touch the foundation of Buddhism?" The Golden-Winged Roc King looked at Ksitigarbha King, his brows furrowed in confusion.

“How can the foundation of Buddhism be so easily touched?” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"The Three Great Buddhas, the Four Great Bodhisattvas, the Six Directions of the Assembly, the Eight Heavenly Dragons... none of them are without formidable strength."

The Celestial Dog narrowed its eyes. "Hey... that's too much... just give it back."

"This great battle has indeed caused Lingshan to lose face and will also damage their fortune, but that's all."

"Although it can be considered a serious injury, it is far from... enough to cause serious damage."

Upon hearing this, the three women, including the Queen of Xiliang, immediately frowned.

He killed four Arhats, seriously injured a Bodhisattva, and even caused a great disturbance on Mount Ling. Doesn't that count as a serious injury?
"Please enlighten this junior, Senior Ksitigarbha," the Six-Eared Macaque asked respectfully.

Howling Celestial Dog: "No... I'm not going to return my magical artifact?"

"I humbly request that Senior Ksitigarbha offer me some guidance," the Golden-Winged Roc King respectfully inquired.

Ksitigarbha gazed into the distance and sighed softly, "This is a long story..."

"The depths of Buddhism are unfathomable; even I have only glimpsed a corner of it..."

The three women, including the Queen of Xiliang, listened intently as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva recounted Buddhist matters, hoping to lay a solid foundation for their future conquest of Buddhism and to use Mount Ling as a whetstone.

They were determined not to let their master down and to meet his expectations!
This time, they have completely broken ties with the Buddhist Lingshan.

On the other hand, the Celestial Dog glared wide-eyed, its nostrils flaring with rage, and opened its mouth wide to bite the Six-Eared Macaque's thigh.

However, the six-eared macaque paid no attention and let the celestial hound bite it.

He listened attentively to Ksitigarbha's explanation, nodding frequently in agreement.

and many more!

They just ignored me so naturally?

What do you mean by changing the subject?
Now that the fight's over, give the treasure back to me, you bastards!
……

The three queens of Xiliang, with remarkable tacit understanding, left behind the Howling Celestial Dog's treasure.

The Spear of Tranquility, the Devouring Demon Jar, and the Platform for Appointing Generals—these magical treasures are extremely well-suited to the three of them. How could they possibly return them to the Howling Celestial Dog?
Just as the three of them were asking Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, in a temple extremely far away from this place, the incessant notification sound in Lin Nan's mind finally stopped.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Nan rolled over and collapsed onto the recliner.

It's finally over!

This notification sound must have been ringing for at least half a month, right?

As he pondered this, Lin Nan began to silently recall what rewards he had received from these recent notifications.

"The Primordial Medicine Pavilion, the Immortal Transformation Pool, the Gemstone Tower, the Immortal Gold Mountain, the Divine Source, a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, a drop of Pangu's essence blood..."

As Lin Nan silently pondered, he suddenly realized that he had acquired quite a few good things in the past two weeks.
Furthermore, it seems that I also received a reward for upgrading the dojo. Was that mentioned in the last notification sound?

Is it the second to last one?

Lin Nan frowned in confusion, gazing at the dazzling array of treasures in the distance, as well as the numerous pavilions, palaces, and fairy pools that had suddenly appeared.

He suddenly sighed for no apparent reason.

"What are these little brats doing? Are they really going to attack some mountain? Will they get hurt?"

Looking at the numerous and complicated magical treasures and elixirs, and at the empty and desolate dojo, Lin Nan felt a sense of emotion.

"Our dojo is quite powerful now, but unfortunately, all the disciples are gone."

"After being a hands-off manager for so many years, I never expected to end up with so much stuff."

"I haven't taught them properly in the dojo for so many years. All they do is read novels all day. My poor disciples, I'm truly ashamed. I haven't taught them anything..."

"The dojo is powerful now. I wonder where they are now. Otherwise, I could help them improve their strength."

Looking out over the distant temple, at the blue sea and sky, Lin Nan sighed softly.

"Sometimes."

"I still really miss my good disciples..."

"What?!"……

"Has someone attacked Mount Ling?"

The events that occurred in Xiniu Hezhou spread throughout the entire Three Realms in a very short time.

Everyone who heard this news was utterly shocked!
The chaos in Xiniu Hezhou is actually part of a grand scheme.
What was thought to be a minor skirmish turned out to be a tragedy that resulted in the loss of four Arhats, serious injuries to three Bodhisattvas, and even the Buddha himself taking action!
"Have you heard? It's said that a great battle took place near Mount Ling, and the heavens and earth seemed to collapse!"

"Three Bodhisattvas at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm defeated three Bodhisattvas at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, leaving them utterly powerless!"

In the human realm, the demon race was excitedly discussing it, and many powerful demons clapped and laughed upon hearing it!
Inside the Flaming Mountain, the Bull Demon King burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha, well done! I've been wanting to get rid of Mount Ling for a long time!" (End of Chapter)
