Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

With the vanishing of the pitch-black cosmic veil, East Sumeru finally regained its past radiant and colorful visage.

The Joyful True Buddha and Medicine King True Buddha quietly withdrew from the White Jade Hanging Tower.

Much to their surprise, upon hearing the entire dispute resolution process, the Present Buddha did not show much concern about Master Yu Yu, who had incited the wrath of Bodhi Sect disciples, giving a sense of premeditation.

Logically, one should at least investigate the roots of this person, how could they directly refrain from questioning?

"Do you remember when the Future World Venerable visited my East Sumeru last time..."

The Medicine King Buddha suddenly recalled something and glanced sideways at the Joyful Buddha: "The Present Buddha once said that this person would not become the Immortal Emperor, nor would he wish to see the catastrophe progress."

Perhaps it's not that they are unwilling to investigate, but rather that they already know well.

"Silence."

The Joyful Buddha reacted, his expression subtly changing.

When it involves the two Buddhas, one cannot afford to make wild guesses, lest it violates the Buddha's prestige.

Yet, he internally shared a similar sentiment. At the time during the dispute resolution, his emotions were stirred by that youngster, making it hard to see things clearly.

Now, upon reflection with a calm mind, what Shen Yi did seemed less like an attempt to become the Immortal Emperor, and more like a scheme to disrupt the proceedings, preventing either side from selecting an Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, just as the dispute commenced, the Future World Venerable "coincidentally" visited East Sumeru, it strongly resembled a cover-up for something.

Among the Three Lives Buddha, one had experienced transcendence, one currently wielded transcendence, leaving only the final one... unwilling to see the world stabilize, severing all changes, which indeed makes sense.

Recalling the Present Buddha's demeanor earlier, the gazes of the two True Buddhas became somewhat complicated.

Could it be that the Golden Immortal, highly regarded by the Three Immortals Sect, was merely a pawn laid down by Future Buddha to obstruct the catastrophe?

"But this is somewhat excessive..."

The Joyful Buddha let out a sigh of relief, he understood how disputes could arise between Sect Hierarchs.

Yet, to seize the transcendental fruit position, they let harm befall their own followers, causing immense resentment among disciples, resulting in significant losses, so much so that they were steadily suppressed by that group of Immortals.

Did the Future Buddha not consider that failing to stop the catastrophe would mean handing over the control of the incense burning to the Three Immortals Sect, a colossal sin?

"If he had never intended to become the Immortal Emperor, that Immortal Oath could be explained."

The Medicine King Buddha slightly raised his gaze, this Golden Immortal, being a pawn of the Future World Venerable, engaged in unseen actions, regardless of success, there would be no survival for the other party, otherwise if this matter became exposed, how could the two Buddhas meet again?

The two True Buddhas were somewhat speechless; the Future Buddha seemed secluded in the Southern Continent, silent for years, yet his methods were shockingly formidable, capable of inducing such an exceptionally talented youth to willingly serve as his diehard adherent.

"What needs consideration now is, with our sect suffering such heavy losses, even if the Great Freedom Bodhisattva were to descend entirely, it cannot contend against that group of Immortals. Within three days, it is imperative to have the Three Immortals Sect offer an explanation, resetting the rules."

The Joyful True Buddha sat cross-legged on the Lotus Platform, slowly gliding forward.

At this moment, he saw figures gradually emerging from the Yellow Cloud ahead.

Leading the way was none other than the esteemed Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva, followed by nearly all other Great Freedom Bodhisattvas and sect members, densely occupying the entire sky.

Gazing at the multitude of disciples, a trace of weariness welled up in Joyful Buddha's heart.

Even though he was a First Rank Giant, he still had to consider the emotions of sect members, though his subordinates were not up to the task, falling short against others, what solution could there be? He could not personally intervene, could he?

If only he could take action, then surely.

The problem lies in neither sect being weak; True Buddha dares not bully the small with great strength, the Emperors from the other side are not to be trifled with, not to mention that Houtu Huangdi Qi was probably already waiting eagerly for such an opportunity to vent his frustrations.

"What business do you have?" Joyful Buddha lifted his eyelids, intending to soothe the people.

Just then, the Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva walked slowly to the Lotus Platform, knelt beneath the True Buddha's Kasaya, raising both hands above his head: "Reporting to True Buddha, the disciples have just received this, please deliberate."

"..."

The Joyful True Buddha slightly furrowed his brow, casting a puzzled look at the Sealed Jade Scroll.

After casually browsing through its contents, he finally understood why the sect disciples gathered there.

That group of Immortals dared to openly breach their promise, attempting to swarm other continents while the monks were all at East Sumeru, catching Bodhi Sect off guard.

Yet what truly surprised was how this group of Immortals intended to act, for the detailed plan laid out by Master Xuanwei was entirely contained within this small Jade Slip.

It could be said that if the contents were true, should Bodhi Sect harbor murderous intent, half of these Immortals would likely have to remain in the East Continent.

"The disciple sent someone to investigate and did indeed discover traces of the Three Immortals Sect disciples, but fearing deception, they refrained from reckless action."

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva slowly lifted his head, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

The Three Immortals Sect's plan thoroughly enraged the monks, those self-proclaimed Immortals, not only had they unjustly intruded upon the East Continent repeatedly, with ruthless actions, now they even intend to tear apart the rules, engaging in blatant struggles for incense.

They were only still within Sumeru Mountain due to their skeptical stance towards the Sealed Jade Scroll.

After all, to know such clear arrangements, one's status must be high, why would an Immortal like that gamble everything to harm their fellow sect members?
