My clan is super powerful

Yang Shi's orders have been somewhat ineffective recently, which is not only related to the Buddhist cultivation path, but also to the breakdown in negotiations with the elephant demon.

Many within the Buddhist sect believe that although the conditions for the elephant demon are somewhat harsh, it is absolutely a tremendous opportunity for the Buddhist sect.

They believed that Yang Shi should agree to the conditions proposed by the demon king of Jin.

If Yang Shi had agreed to the conditions of the Jin Kingdom's demon king, not only would they now be members of the Jin Kingdom's high-ranking officials, but the Buddhist path would have already begun to spread throughout all regions of Jin Kingdom.

After all, even the most demanding conditions from the demon king were far better than the current situation where the Buddhist path was trapped in a corner, unable to move, or even on the verge of collapse.

Some high-ranking members of the Buddhist sect believed that the demon king's conditions were indeed somewhat harsh, but they could feign compliance and temporarily agree to the demon king's conditions. As for what would happen in the future, they could deal with it after the Buddhist sect had developed further.

After all, they were quite confident in the ability of the Buddhist path to convert others.

However, to avoid the Buddhist path becoming a tool for the Jin Kingdom's demon king and the demon race's higher-ups to rule over the lower-level demons, Yang Shi rejected the demon king's conditions.

This has led to the Buddhist path being targeted by the Jin Kingdom at every turn. Not only has its rapid rise been interrupted and its sphere of influence shrunk considerably, but a large number of Buddhist cultivators have also perished during this period, resulting in a significant loss of strength for everyone.

In addition, the pressure from the weak divine power realm demons stationed around Jin Kingdom has led to many high-ranking members of the Buddhist sects secretly harboring resentment towards Yang Shi.

If it weren't for the rumors that Yang Shi was connected to the respected master of the world, the Buddhist disciples below would have already conspired to kick him aside, replace him with someone else, and then agree to the demon king's conditions.

Therefore, Yang Shi's current situation is actually not very good.

Or rather, if it's not handled properly, he might not just be forced to step down; he could even be stripped of his status as a Buddhist practitioner.

Moreover, in the current standoff with the King of Jin, he is actually in a position of absolute weakness.

After all, this is a world of extraordinary beings, where everything is built upon strength. With the current power of the Buddhist path, the Jin Kingdom's dispatch of only a few weak Divine Power Realm beings is enough to suppress all the struggles of the Buddhist path.

Moreover, the Jin state is not in a hurry to integrate with Buddhism, but if the current situation continues at Guangli Temple, Yang Shi may not be able to hold on.

That elephant demon actually wanted to use this method to force Yang Shi to give in.

Zhang Zhi pondered for a while, wondering whether he should stop the elephant demon's actions. After all, its recent actions had affected his plans for the Buddhist path.

After pondering for a while, he shook his head slightly, thinking that he should wait and see what happens and see if there will be any more trouble with the Buddhist path in the future.

After letting out a soft sigh, Zhang Zhi turned his gaze to the demon city next to him.

The loud noise just now naturally alarmed the demon race in the city. Many legendary and extraordinary cultivators appeared in the sky above the city and turned their attention to the Temple of Buddha.

However, after seeing the Temple of the Buddha reduced to nothingness, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and no cultivator dared to make any move.

Naturally, no one suggested coming over to see what was going on.

After all, there are beings within the Fudōji Temple capable of contending with demigods.

Even the temple of the Buddha was reduced to ashes after that loud noise; these people were just a few more wronged souls in the process.

At this moment, many people stared at the vanished Buddha Temple with flickering eyes.

Most people might not notice what Fudashi has been doing lately, but as high-ranking members of the demon clan gathering area right next to Fudashi, they have all been more or less aware of it.

Some even rescued their clansmen who had been abducted by the Buddha Temple.

However, due to various reasons, even if they made some discoveries, they couldn't do anything about Daji except to take action in secret.

Therefore, many people secretly cheered when they saw Nagupta Temple turn into ashes.

At the same time, many people also looked at the group of people present.

The group of people being watched were monks from the Buta Temple who had come here on business.

The Buddhist monks were now looking at the ruins of the Temple of Buddha, which had turned to ashes, with grief and indignation, and cried out in anguish.

However, some quick-witted individuals have realized that it is highly likely that Futakuji's actions recently have offended someone he cannot afford to provoke.

Those with quick minds are already scanning their surroundings, looking for a way out.

However, Zhang Zhi would certainly not give these few who slipped through the net a chance to escape.

He glanced at the group of people, and with a slight thought, several bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air and struck the group of people directly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the few who escaped from Fudashi Temple turned into several clouds of blood mist.

These cultivators, whose highest cultivation level was only at the Legendary Realm, had no chance of blocking the lightning strikes unleashed by using the Lightning Laws mobilized by the Boundary Pearl.

After slaying the remnants of the Unreached Temple, he glanced at the numerous demons who had scattered in terror, then his figure flickered and slowly disappeared from the spot.

Next, naturally, they would hunt down any remaining members of the Fudakuji sect who had escaped their clutches elsewhere.

After using the Boundary Pearl to kill all the Buddhist cultivators who had practiced the branch techniques and Buddhist teachings, and confirming that no one had escaped, Zhang Zhi moved his mind and arrived above Guangli Temple.

Regarding this new branch of the Buddhist path, Zhang Zhi felt he needed to state his position.

Therefore, this time he didn't just approach Yang Shi directly, but solemnly announced to all the Buddhist cultivators present above Guangli Temple that no one was allowed to cultivate or comprehend any of the Buddhist teachings.

After Zhang Zhi left, the many Buddhist practitioners in Guangli Temple were discussing what the branch of Buddhist cultivation path mentioned by the Venerable One was really like.

Just how heinous must someone be to warrant the Venerable One personally warning everyone against comprehending or cultivating Buddhist teachings and practices related to that branch of Buddhism?

Yang Shi obtained information about the branch of the Buddhist path from the Venerable One. After glancing at it a few times, his pupils suddenly contracted. After silently chanting a Buddhist mantra, he continued to examine the remaining information.

After suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Yang Shichang finished reading the materials, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and then distributed the materials to the other cultivators in Guangli Temple.

After the many Buddhist practitioners inside Guangli Temple received the materials from that branch and examined them, many of them subconsciously chanted a Buddhist prayer after only flipping through a few pages.

The information inside left the many Buddhist practitioners in Guangli Temple looking at each other in bewilderment.

One of the Buddhist practitioners, after reviewing the small portion of information assigned to him, glanced up at the numerous high-ranking members of the Buddhist sects who were moving about, and then said:

“May Buddha have mercy. If His Majesty had not given us this information personally, I would never have believed that someone in our Buddhist community would do such a heinous thing.”

"No wonder His Excellency came to our Guangli Temple in person to warn us." "Indeed, if the corresponding cultivation methods and Buddhist teachings of that Buddhist path were to spread, who knows how many innocent lives would be lost to cultivators on that path."

"I have only looked at this little bit of information, but I can tell that this branch of Buddhism is a cultivation path that is completely immersed in mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"If this kind of cultivation method were to spread, unless our Buddhist path already has its own high-level cultivators, it would definitely become an enemy of the world."

After hearing what this person said, many people present nodded in agreement.

After reviewing the materials, the many Buddhist monks within Guangli Temple quickly reached a consensus.

Soon, an imperial edict was issued from within Guangli Temple: A Buddhist monk has been tempted and corrupted by evil, and has come to understand a heretical method.

This evil practice uses all intelligent beings as cultivation materials, which goes against the natural order.

All Buddhist practitioners are absolutely forbidden from practicing any Buddhist teachings or practices related to this evil method.

Any Buddhist practitioner who cultivates this Dharma is a heretic, and any Buddhist practitioner can be killed by anyone.

After leaving Guangli Temple, Zhang Zhi secretly rejoiced, thinking that he was fortunate to have carefully checked the entire Lingbao Small World beforehand.

Otherwise, if the members of the visiting delegation were to discover the actions of that branch of the Buddhist path, it would be truly difficult to explain.

After discovering the problem with Nabuda Temple, Zhang Zhi spent a lot of time carefully inspecting every place within the Lingbao Small World, especially the other temples along the Buddhist route, which he explored inside and out several times.

They were afraid that a situation similar to that at Nabuta Temple would occur again.

Finally, they even spent a considerable amount of boundary power to carefully explore the entire Spirit Treasure Small World again using the authority of the boundary bead.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

There shouldn't be anything within the small world that could trigger the nerves of the visiting group members.

Well, no, that's not right either. The thing that seems to have the biggest problem inside the small world right now is the World Gate.

After all, a portal leading to other unknown areas would seem suspicious no matter how you look at it, but there's no way to hide it even if you wanted to.

What if the members of the delegation misunderstand this situation?
As for closing the door to this world?
This may be the only feasible solution at the moment.

If only Professor Confucius had entered the Lingbao Small World this time, then it would have been possible to close the portal completely.

After all, beings at the God Realm are already capable of resisting forced teleportation when the Gate of the World closes.

Therefore, after Professor Confucius arrived at the Lingbao Small World, he simply closed the gate to that world.

Actually, we don't have to close the gate to this world. We can just let the visiting group of cultivators come and take a look at the main world.

However, it would be too troublesome to explain to both sides at that time.

Moreover, we'll need to find someone to receive us in the main world.

Therefore, the best option is actually to close this portal.

After confirming that there would be no further problems in the Lingbao Small World, Zhang Zhi slowly exhaled, then with a thought, returned to the main world.

After taking a trip to the Qi Refining Small World and finding nothing unusual, he returned to the main world with a thought.

Three days later, Zhang Zhi finished his class and had just stepped out of the classroom when Professor Confucius appeared beside him.

After nodding slightly to Liu Wanwan and the other girls beside Zhang Zhi, the professor turned to Zhang Zhi and said, "The arrival time of that delegation you mentioned last time is about right, isn't it?"

"Let's go, take your master to your little world."

Zhang Zhi bowed slightly and replied, "Yes."

After a moment's hesitation, he turned to the three women beside him and said, "Would you like to come along too?"

Liu Wanwan and the other two exchanged glances, then said in unison, "Yes!"

Professor Confucius glanced at the three women beside him again, then said, "Let's all go together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhi and the others felt a blur before their eyes, and then found themselves inside the school's secluded cultivation area.

He led everyone into the secluded retreat he had rented, familiar with the place.

Upon entering the secret realm, the world gate at the very center of the chamber was immediately visible. Zhang Zhi quickly walked to the portal, nodded slightly to the projection of Fang Yun guarding it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He then said to Professor Confucius beside him, "Please, teacher."

Professor Confucius glanced at the Fangyun projection beside him before slowly stepping into the Gate of the World.

Liu Wanwan and the other two women were completely confused, but now was not the time to ask Zhang Zhi for details. After seeing Professor Confucius step into the Gate of the World, the three of them glanced at Zhang Zhi and then quickly followed him.

Zhang Zhi himself could not possibly have entered the Gate of the World. After seeing that Professor Kong and the other three had entered the Lingbao Small World through the Gate of the World, he had a thought and his consciousness also entered the Small World.

After entering the Lingbao Small World, with a slight thought, he arrived at the location of the World Gate.

At this moment, Professor Kong, Liu Wanwan, and the other two were looking at this small world with great curiosity.

Zixia had been to the Qi Refining Small World before, and she was deeply impressed by the huge wreckage above it.

Therefore, one can imagine the shock one feels upon seeing the empty sky within this small world, devoid of any trace of debris.

Because Professor Kong was present, she didn't directly ask Zhang Zhi, but her gaze kept sweeping over him, clearly wanting to know what was going on.

Professor Confucius naturally noticed that the three women seemed to have many questions for Zhang Zhi, so he turned to Zhang Zhi and said, "I see that your three confidantes seem to have many questions for you."

"Perfect timing, I'd also like to get to know your little world first."

"I'll come find you later."

After saying this, Professor Confucius disappeared from the four people's sight. (End of Chapter)
