Chapter 5142: Another Heartwood

Jian Wushuang listened carefully, realizing that the little samanera had hidden many details, and now the little samanera was looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

“Junior and Hu Qing supported each other all the way, barely driving away the enemies. It was not my sole achievement.”

Although he had been observing from the sidelines and didn’t know much about the distribution of power in the 3,000 Great Worlds, he could roughly tell that Heaven-Reaching Buddha and Wuliang, despite both being part of Buddha realm, did not belong to the same faction.

And Emperor Dongyan was not a Buddhist practitioner, not someone easy to deal with for both Wuliang and Heaven-Reaching Buddha. This time, they probably came together just for that grand temple.

Being around such powerful figures, he had to be cautious.

“Cause and effect cycle, thoughts are hard to settle!” Wuliang Buddha waved his hand, and a stream of light slid down.

“This item should have some connection with you. Diligently studying it in the future will help your state of heart and mind.”

“Thank you, Senior!”

After clearly seeing the item, Jian Wushuang’s heart trembled. He quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

The treasure in the stream of light was a short piece of wood, perfectly matching the one he had obtained earlier. Could it be?

Jian Wushuang’s heart shook. He now understood that the short piece of wood he received was a gift from Wuliang Buddha. If that was the case, didn’t it mean that Wuliang Buddha knew he was a practitioner of Heart power cultivation? He also must be aware of the existence of the Qishen Temple and little samanera’s original realm.

But he didn’t dare to have any doubts. He wore a surprised expression on his face while hiding his amazement.

“Oh, by the way, the one chasing after you two should be him!” Wuliang Buddha extended his arm and directly grabbed into the void. His arm casually extended for millions of miles, tearing apart the endless void and capturing the escaping Xiang Bingyun.

The Emperors remained very calm, even the little samanera was composed. Only Jian Wushuang was extremely surprised.

There was nothing he could do. He only knew a few Emperors, and the ones he had truly seen were even fewer. He had seen Zhen Wuyang a few times, but it didn’t compare to the awe-inspiring presence of Wuliang Buddha.

“Ah!”

Xiang Bingyun, who was suddenly grabbed from the void, looked astonished. Then, seeing the majestic figures of the Emperors above the void, his eyes widened.

“How is this possible? I was already far away from here. Even if they’re Emperors, they couldn’t have grabbed me from such a distance!” Xiang Bingyun was both shocked and afraid.

He was shocked by the presence of so many Emperors and afraid because he knew these Emperors had come not for him but for his Lord’s grand plan.

“Esteemed Seniors, I am the ruler of the ancient Heavenly Court in the Great Si Region, and my Lord…” Before Xiang Bingyun could finish his words, his throat was crushed by the immense hand of the Wuliang Buddha.

“Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil,” Wuliang Buddha waved his hand, and countless tiny bone fragments scattered from his palm.

“They should not have appeared in this world!” Wuliang Buddha clasped his hands together, restoring his former compassionate expression.

Emperor Dongyan sneered inwardly, thinking, ‘Revenge is one thing, but if they don’t revive, the secrets of the Qishen Temple might never see the light of day!’

With a wave of his hand, a Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal was lifted into the air. Jian Wushuang was shaken internally but maintained a respectful demeanor.

Such powerful beings could only be looked up to; at any moment, they could extinguish him.

“Both of you wait here for a moment. Later, a Grand Yan Immortal from our

Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm will meet you here,” Wuliang Buddha said.

The Emperors came and left swiftly. As their voices faded away, their imposing figures gradually dissipated until they disappeared completely from Jian Wushuang’s sight.

After several breaths, even the aura of the Emperors vanished from the void. Only then did Jian Wushuang exhale deeply.

The feeling of relief elevated his mood slightly, although the elevation was minuscule.

The injuries on the little monk’s body had mostly healed. He turned to Jian

Wushuang and smiled faintly, “Kind Sir, thank you for earlier.”

“Everyone has their secrets; there’s no need to speak of them,” Jian Wushuang smiled back.

He only wanted to leave the Great Desolate Wilderness, but the path to the Great Si Region was blocked by those corpses and skeletons. Given the imminent battle between the Emperors over there, he couldn’t return for a short while. His only option was to go           Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm.

However, after just meeting the high-ranking members of the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm, his opinion of them was almost nonexistent.

Since the Heaven-Reaching Buddha asked him to wait for such a Grand Yan Immortal, he would wait. He would find an opportunity to leave later.

Now that he had broken through to become a Grand Yan Immortal, he had the ability to travel to other worlds. But the thought of crossing the entire Great Desolate Wilderness, which would take tens of thousands of years, gave him a headache.

Inside the Qishen Temple,

“Hmm, Fenghua, it seems like your High Commander, Xiang Bingyun, has fallen,” Liu Ya, who controlled the Great Desolate Wilderness Heavenly Dao, remarked. Naturally, he was aware of everything happening in the Great Desolate Wilderness. He had sensed Xiang Bingyun’s demise the moment he was killed.

Xiang Bingyun had followed Emperor Fenghua to battle his entire life and had a personality much like Emperor Fenghua’s. Naturally, Emperor Fenghua valued him greatly, thinking he had the potential to become an Emperor. However, now he had fallen just after reviving.

Liu Ya had always been at odds with Emperor Fenghua. Now he couldn’t help but add fuel to the fire, “It seems he was killed while trying to chase down a few Grand Yan Immortals. What a useless waste. He couldn’t even kill those two youngsters and ended up falling himself.”

“You!” Emperor Fenghua was furious, but considering that Liu Ya now controlled the Great Desolate Wilderness, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, “I will avenge him personally. For now, we must consider the bigger picture.”

“Haha, revenge! Do you even know who killed him?” Liu Ya sneered.

“Who else but Zhen Wuyang? Sooner or later, I will kill him and avenge our past disgrace. Have you forgotten how he humiliated you back then?” Emperor Fenghua gritted his teeth.

The other Emperors closed their eyes, contemplating. Upon hearing their conversation, they all sighed.

Who among them hadn’t been humiliated by Zhen Wuyang? Back then, Zhen Wuyang had treated them like stray dogs and expelled them from the Great Si Region.

They had to endure it due to their lack of strength. But who could have imagined that Zhen Wuyang would progress so quickly, advancing from a third-tier Emperor to a fourth-tier Emperor in less than 10,000 years, directly coming to the       Great Desolate Wilderness?

In his pursuit of the Qishen Temple’s whereabouts, he humiliated them in every possible way and eventually slaughtered them all in the Great Desolate Wilderness, using their corpses as a path for his cultivation.

“Hmph!”

Liu Ya didn’t want to dwell on the past. Instead, he calmly stated the current situation, “What? People from the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm have arrived.”

“How did they find out about the Qishen Temple? This shouldn’t be possible!”

“Liu Ya, when did they arrive? How many Emperors came, and what are their strengths?” A series of questions were thrown at him.

The individuals who had been ambitiously planning to inherit the Qishen’s legacy and become the Universe Masters suddenly felt their confidence waver.

Liu Ya looked at them, becoming increasingly convinced that his choice had been right. He had the foresight to cultivate the Desolate Dao from the moment he was suppressed. When he recovered, he had even revived the Great Desolate Wilderness’s Heavenly Dao..
