In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 363 Tiger Mystic Altar, Exorcising Buddha
One of the nine federal administrative stars.

South from the star.

This is a well-known "military planet" of the Federation.

Most of the federal troops are stationed here.

This place has the largest and most elite army in the Federation, as well as a large number of military families.

The entire planet is almost entirely dedicated to serving these "military regions".

Saying that everyone on this planet is a soldier is a bit of an exaggeration, because both the flanks and the aristocratic families need a large number of logistics personnel.

But it is no exaggeration to say that everyone served the army and military families.

Because that's what it is.

Tianhuo Mingdu is the capital of the Southern Star government.

The Hu family, a prominent military family, is also located here.

But it is not on earth, but in the sky.

A floating city, suspended tens of thousands of kilometers above Tianhuo Mingdu.

Cities, fortifications, and towers forged from steel and crystal stretched for thousands of kilometers.

Fortunately, it was over 10,000 kilometers away; otherwise, it would have almost completely obscured half of the Heavenly Fire Capital.

The people living in this city will probably never see the light of day again.

This isn't just one house; it's clearly an unimaginably vast floating city.

Deep within this "jungle" constructed of steel and crystal lies an extremely magnificent palace.

One person stepped inside and walked quickly.

After passing through layers of checkpoints and announcements, we finally entered the main hall—the White Tiger Hall.

The central location of the Tiger Clan, the place where they held discussions.

It is tall, vast, and magnificent, unlike anything seen in the human world.

"Zongjun!"

The man bowed deeply to the person seated high in the hall.

The person sitting high above is naturally the head of the Hu clan—Hu Xuantan.

In the Federation, only the head of a prominent family is qualified to use the title "Zongjun".

Zong refers to a clan or lineage that has existed for generations.

You are the head of the clan.

Their grandeur is comparable to that of ancient emperors.

However, it has nothing to do with it.

In the minds of the people here, the so-called emperors of ancient times were nothing more than ignorant monkeys who had never seen the world.

They couldn't even compare to any of the subordinate forces that were dependent on them.

For ordinary people, the emperor is the pinnacle of human achievement, but to place him here would be an insult to the aristocratic family and the Hu clan.

Hu Xuantan, who sat high on the throne, looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old, judging from his appearance alone.

His face was covered with a thick beard, each hair as sharp as a knife.

He was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority even without anger.

"explain."

The man said, "News has come from Far East Star that one battalion of the Tiger Clan's Hundred Soldiers Army, the Overlord Spear Army, has disguised themselves and infiltrated Far East Star, entered the White Lotus Domain, and is proceeding according to plan."

"It shouldn't be long before 'Buddha' is able to descend smoothly into the material world."

"Um……"

Hu Xuantan pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Remnants of the White Lotus? This is a minor matter and not worth worrying about."

Someone below said, "Master Zong, while these remnants of the White Lotus are not a threat, the Ten Directions Buddha they worship is no ordinary being; it is said to be 'the closest to the Buddha.'"

"Its divine power, within the Buddhist lineage, is second only to the legendary 'Buddha's divine power,'"

"If the Xiao family were to seize it, their territory in the Thirty-Six Heavens would likely expand considerably."

Hu Xuantan waved his hand and said, "It's alright. This time, my Hu clan is helping him; it's just a transaction."

"The Xiao family has declined somewhat in recent years. They're actually willing to give up fifteen cities for a bunch of rats in exchange for my Hu family's help."

"Instead of trying to obtain that so-called power of the Ten Directions Buddhas, it's better to have the fifteen cities in hand. Once we digest these fifteen cities, the fortune of the Tiger Clan will greatly increase. What is there to fear?"

"Xiao family, this is a desperate act, grasping at a rotten blade of grass as a lifeline, huh!"

The man reminded them, "After all, they are a family with a thousand-year history; it's best to be cautious."

Hu Xuantan's face showed disdain, exuding an aura of dominance.

Clearly, he was not unaware of the reasoning the man was making, and he agreed with what the man said.

But as he said, he was confident in his own strength and didn't care what others thought.

"Alright, just tell the people below to keep a close eye on things... I remember, that kid Hu Duo seemed to have gone over to join in the fun too?"

Someone replied, "Yes, the young marshal returned from a bloody battle at Jiutianmen a few years ago. Feeling restless after a long period of quiet, he volunteered to lead the team there after learning about this matter, which can also be considered as a way to get away and relax."

Although Hu Xuantan looks young, he is actually nearly a thousand years old, yet he is still vigorous and has many offspring.

Hu Duo is his granddaughter, but she is only a few decades old.

However, he was the one most favored by Hu Xuantan, and because he was outstanding enough and had made great achievements in battle, he was honored as the young marshal.

The Hu clan has a "hundred weapons" tradition, which is replaced every three hundred years.

Hu Duo is the successor of the Heavenly Blade in this generation of "Hundred Weapons" and is also the youngest member of "Hundred Weapons".

"Nonsense."

Hu Xuantan scolded him, but anyone could see the helplessness and doting on his face.

"Let her come back in a few days. Although the remnants of the White Lotus are no longer a threat, they are still rats that the Federation has been hunting for years."

"Once that damned Buddha arrives, it will inevitably attract the Federation's attention, turning Far East Star into a hotbed of trouble. It's not worth getting involved." "Yes!"

"Let's discuss the matter."

The voice of Hu Xuantan resounded throughout the White Tiger Hall.

Amidst surging winds and billowing clouds, it swept across the Federation, numerous realms, and the Thirty-Six Heavens...

……

Chen Family Manor.

"You know, that woman..."

Chen Yuntao walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, his back to Xie Lingxin.

"I've maintained a superficial relationship with her for many years, and I've gathered a lot of information about the remnants of the White Lotus sect,"

"We were only recently able to thwart their plot in the Black Mountain, delaying the day they would unleash their blood sacrifice array,"

"As for these things, I only managed to get my hands on them recently. After investigating, I discovered that the White Lotus Society's schemes are far bigger and more ruthless than anyone imagined!"

Chen Yuntao walked back and pointed at the things on the table: "These things, each one more vicious than the last."

"Taking advantage of the appearance of the Great Black Mountain, tens of thousands of civilians died in the turmoil at Tonggu Bay,"

"In the past few days, including the West District and the four new districts, the number of civilians hunted down has reached tens of thousands!"

"In addition, through the gang forces in the three islands and seventy-two water cities controlled by Bai Shenji, the number of people they have harmed over the years, whether openly or secretly, is countless."

"Although these numbers sound like a lot, in reality, when placed in the context of the four cities, they are just a small splash in a big river, insignificant."

"But these victims have all become important tools and coordinates for the White Lotus Society to create boundless sins and summon the 'Buddha' to descend..."

Chen Yuntao looked at Xie Lingxin with a strange expression: "You should know by now, right? You... and the Spirit Official, you should also be 'props'."

Chen Lingguan's body trembled.

These words reminded him of the terrible memory of his mother... that woman, wanting to eat him.

Xie Lingxin looked at the things on the table. Although she wished she could capture all those beasts from the White Lotus Society into the Iron Strategy Bell and prepare them properly, she did not show anything.

"The Chen family head summoned me here, surely not just to reminisce about the past?"

Hearing the unfamiliar way he was addressed, Chen Yuntao smiled slightly: "Besides these things, the White Lotus Society has one more crucial step in summoning the 'Buddha' to descend."

Xie Lingxin raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

This person, without making a sound, actually did so much.

The affairs of the White Lotus Society are absolutely secretive, and even the Federation may not know about them.

But he had a clear understanding of it, as if he could read the lines on the palm of his hand.

It's incredible.

Chen Yuntao said, "The White Lotus Society's blood sacrifice formation is basically complete. This final step doesn't need a stepping stone."

"The power of 'Buddha' is so immense that it's impossible for him to directly descend into the material world,"

"But if one's will and thoughts are scattered across different legendary realms,"

“By anchoring coordinates in the material world, and having those coordinates, and then gathering these thoughts and intentions together, one can become a true ‘Buddha’ and descend upon our world.”

"This is the same principle as when we enter the legendary realm, only reversed."

Xie Lingxin recalled the ancient scriptures that Lu Wan had deciphered for him.

Is that the springboard prepared by the White Lotus Society?
Chen Yuntao said, "The power of the descending 'Buddhas' depends on how many thoughts they can gather. The White Lotus Society has been hiding for years, so it's impossible to find them all."

"But if it were to descend, it would probably be an unimaginable being."

"The essence of the seven emotions is the nourishment for the thoughts that strengthen the Buddha's will,"

He picked up the Blood River Crossing Tribulation Scripture from the table: "In those realms, there must also be a large number of White Lotus believers."

"Including the material world, these believers only need to devoutly copy and recite this scripture with their own blood and sweat,"

"This can evoke resonance and draw the will of 'Buddha' to converge and descend."

"The lotus lamp made of human oil and blood is the heart lamp of 'Buddha',"

"And the golden Buddha made of the child's bones is the purest vessel, used to carry the Buddha's will and thoughts,"

"At that time, the Buddha's 'benefactors' will devour all the donors, as well as this golden Buddha made of child bones, and will then become a 'true Buddha'!"

As Xie Lingxin listened to him, she imagined the scene, which was full of eeriness, horror, and bloodshed.

Buddha?
Even Shanghai isn't this magical.

In a daze, Xie Lingxin saw in her mind the image of the Buddha descending to earth and ruling the world.

Above, Buddha's light filled the sky; in the middle, the Human Emperor stood; and beneath the nine earths, endless black mist permeated the air...

The Buddha descends to earth, the Divine Emperor rules the world, and a demon lurks in the shadows...

I have seen the Human Emperor, who was wearing the Buddha's robe...

But he had never seen a real demon!
The "Buddha" of the White Lotus Society is a demon, a great demon!
Chen Yuntao said, "It's unrealistic to expect to eliminate the Buddhist thoughts within those realms."

“Those who are attached to the Buddha’s thoughts must be peerless experts. One or two is fine, but we simply don’t have that many experts to use.”

"But we can't do nothing either. We should eliminate as many as we can, even if the Buddha eventually descends. This will weaken His power."

Xie Lingxin understood: "Did Patriarch Chen summon me here to have me eliminate which Buddha's incarnation?"

Chen Yuntao laughed and said, "Actually, you have more knowledge of the White Lotus Domain than I do. Even Inspector Lu has to ask you for help."

"It just depends on whether you're willing or not."

"I invited you here mainly to tell you the truth, so you won't be kept in the dark and cause chaos later,"

"Furthermore, if you decide to 'exorcise Buddha,' then take Lingguan with you; he should also broaden his horizons."

"Ah I?"

Chen Lingguan was shocked.
