The monk’s expression was calm. He didn’t have any reactions when Qin Wentian told them to leave. The monks pressed their palms together as the monk in the lead spoke, “Benefactor Qin, why must you be so persistent? For heavenly dao and fate, each has its own influence. If you defy the general trend and continue to proceed on your way, it’s difficult to have a good ending.”
“Bald donkey, what do you mean?” Jun Mengchen walked over and coldly spoke. Heavenly dao might radiated from him.
Defy general trend and it’s difficult to have a good ending?
Was this a threat?
“Benefactor, why must you be angered?” The monk was exceedingly calm. Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with a cold light as he stared at the monk.
Right now, the western world and Qin Heavenly Divine Sect temporarily maintained a calm situation, not interacting with each other. But in truth, both parties never really had any connection to each other before. Everyone was clear in their hearts that the visit by the other party this time around, was clearly feigning civility. By receiving them, he was feigning civility with them too. Who didn’t know what their true purposes were?
This buddhist logic…who was he trying to frighten?
“Scram.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. If you come here, I will welcome you politely. But since you wish to make threats, you can just scram then.
Not having a good ending? If this wasn’t a threat, what was it?
The monks pressed their palms together and bowed to Qin Wentian. After that, the monk in the lead spoke, “Since Benefactor Qin is determined to defy the general trend of things, we can only bid farewell here then.”
After speaking, they slowly turned around and departed in a neither overbearing nor servile manner. They weren’t flustered or angered. Their footsteps were calm and heavy, it didn’t look like they were being chased away.
“Those bald donkeys truly have thick skins.” Jun Mengchen cursed. Their skins were simply like walls of iron. They came all the way here and told Qin Wentian to hand the Heaven Vault over. After that, they would show mercy and allow Qin Wentian and his friends to cultivate here. But after refusing them, they threatened Qin Wentian. When the threat failed, they left calmly. How thick must their skins be?
“The Buddhist Sect cultivates their hearts and personalities. They truly have good personalities.” Ouyang Kuangsheng also coldly spoke, he was extremely unhappy with the behavior of the monks.
“Those monks are truly annoying.” Many people respectively started to curse, the atmosphere was now affected. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed, seemingly in ponder. Such enemies were in fact, actually more fearsome. Their determination and resolve was rarely seen in other powers.
Thick skin might actually be a merit. These monks from the western world might seem to be thick-skinned but it also showed their confidence and determination. Even if others ridicule them, their perspectives wouldn’t change, they were deeply entrenched in their faith and thinking, feeling like their actions and words weren’t inappropriate at all.
There must be some reason why the western world could control four lower-world immortal realms.
Qin Wentian’s eyes stared ahead as he contemplated. Before this, the western world sent Reverend Seven Abstinences and should already know of his attitude. After that, the Grim Reaper appeared to warn them. Why did they send someone here again?
Could it be that the western world truly feel that they would accept the ‘mercy’ shown by the Buddhist Sect? By the Buddhist Sect allowing them to continue cultivating in the Heaven Vault after they took it over.
Or maybe, they felt that their threat earlier was enough to make Qin Wentian give in?
He felt extremely puzzled. What was the true purpose behind the western world’s visit this time around? Was it just for a simple verbal threat?
“Could it be that they have some other intents?” Qin Wentian silently mused. This possibility was very great. The western world wanted to understand the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect’s current strength and Qin Wentian’s side didn’t conceal anything. Bai Qing and the other newly ascended deities were just beside him. There was no need to hide information about such things. Although their strength might cause the Buddhist Sect to feel some wariness, but ultimately, the decision to fight or not to fight wouldn’t be something they could avoid by being weaker.
If the western world really made their preparations, their minds wouldn’t change just because of the appearances of a few new heavenly deities.
“Godfather, earlier, that bald donkey passed me a mysterious art that enables me to hear the voice transmissions of people using immortal sense. Should I cultivate it?” Fan Ye turned her gaze to Qin Wentian as she asked. Since those monks actually threatened her godfather, she was thinking whether should she still cultivate their buddhist art.
“He passed it to you?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed.
“Mhm.” Fan Ye nodded.
“Let me take a look.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“I promised them not to impart it to outsiders. But if godfather wishes to look, I will naturally comply but godfather must promise me that you cannot cultivate it. In this case, I won’t be breaking my promise. Although those monks aren’t kind people, but I have already gave them my word and I want to uphold it. Is godfather fine with it?” Fan Ye asked.
“Mhm. Little Ye, excellent.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. “I won’t cultivate it but I want to see this art which they imparted to you. There might be something wrong with it.”
Clearly, Qin Wentian didn’t feel at ease about the western world. He wanted to check the authenticity of this buddhist art.
“Okay.” Fan Le nodded. After that, she transmitted the buddhist art to Qin Wentian via her immortal sense. After Qin Wentian received it, he did a check and discovered that this was indeed a mysterious buddhist art that allowed people to listen in on voice transmissions. Other than this, there didn’t seem to be any strange about it.
“Little Ye, let godfather see if those monks did anything to you.” Qin Wentian spoke again. Fan Ye nodded. Qin Wentian’s powerful divine sense flowed into her mind but he didn’t discover anything unusual. Only then did his rest at ease. “This buddhist art has no problem. If Little Ye wishes to cultivate it, you can do so.”
Just like what Fan Ye said, although this buddhist art was mysterious, and Qin Wentian even suffered due to this art being used by the Jiang Clan in the past, but right now given his current cultivation realm, this buddhist art was no longer a mystery to him. It was truly just some minor tricks, unworthy of mention.
…
After the people from the western world left, they didn’t stop to rest in the Heaven Region and returned to the Pureland of Bliss in the Universe Region instead.
Inside an ancient buddhist hall, the monks came back. Within the golden-colored hall, other than the monks who just returned, there were already some other monks seated cross-legged with a buddha statue with its back facing them. At this moment, the buddha statue actually spoke, “Have you all managed to investigate?”
“Yes. During these years, the Heaven Vault gave birth to many heavenly deities. Qin Wentian’s wife, Evergreen Qing`er, his demonic beast, his friend Jun Mengchen, his senior brother Divine Sound, his younger sister Bai Qing, his close female friend Beiming Youhuang, his elder, Nanfang Yaoyue. All these people are already at the heavenly deity realm and the many of them only broke through during these two years.” A monk slowly replied. He was none other than the monk who imparted the buddhist art to Fan Ye.
“Could there be secret realms capable of changing the time flow within the Heaven Vault?” The buddha statue calmly asked.
“Yes, the flow of time should be about a hundred times, Qin Wentian should be the person who created it. However, being able to cause so many heavenly deities to be born within two hundred years is truly shocking. Their talents weren’t weak, but because they were born in the lower world or particle worlds, their natural cultivation environment and resources were lacking and they couldn’t display their potential. But their talent also isn’t so strong to the point where it’s overwhelming. Hence, the true factor here is the cultivation environment within the Heaven Vault. If we give them more time, an army of heavenly deities would surely appear.”
That monk stated, he actually knew everything so clearly. Also, he could deduce the result, he didn’t underestimate the future potential of the Heaven Vault.
Only by seeing how strong their opponent was and making ample preparations, would they be able to defeat their opponents.
“The Heaven Vault can connect the immortal realms to the nine heavevnly layers. There are billions of constellations there and people in there can directly sense the heavenly daos. It’s only natural that their cultivation speed would be so quick. It would no longer be difficult for people with high enough talent to become deities.” The buddha statue’s voice was calm, he wasn’t astonished at all.
All the monks were quiet. After that, the atmosphere turned silent, only the sounds of buddhic chants from outside could be heard.
After some time, that buddha statue spoke again, “Yue Changkong of the Ziwei Divine Court is here to pay a visit. You guys go meet with him and discuss future plans.”
That monk nodded, “Should we act?”
“We should stay behind the scenes, we will temporarily not act yet.” The buddha statue spoke. The monk nodded. After that, they stood up and left the ancient hall, moving towards where Yue Changkong was.
Two years ago after the Ziwei Divine Court destroyed the Heavenly Deity Mountain, there were some rumors that said the controller of the Ziwei Divine Court was no longer the Ziwei Star Sovereign. It was Yue Changkong. His title was the Moon God and he has replaced the Ziwei Star Sovereign.
Very soon, the monks came to a location and met with Moon God Yue Changkong.
Yue Changkong was as he was in the past. His countenance was exceptionally pale, like the flesh of a corpse. He looked somewhat horrifying.
“Reverends, I wish you all well.” Yue Changkong smiled faintly when he saw the monks. However, his smile made many people uncomfortable, it exuded evil.
“Benefactor Yue.” The monk in the lead pressed his palms together and bowed.
“Benefactor, is there anything we can do for you seeing that you came all the way to the western world?” The monk asked.
“I heard that Reverend just returned from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect?” Yue Changkong asked.
“Mhm.” The monk in the lead nodded.
“In that case, Reverend should already have a plan to deal with the Heaven Vault, right?” Yue Changkong smiled, his smile contained an unfathomable meaning within.
“Benefactor, what do you mean by this? Right now, the Heaven Vault is extremely powerful, it’s tough to do anything against it.” The monk stated.
“Monks don’t deal in deceit. My purpose and yours is the same. If Reverend has something to say, why don’t you just say it directly? How can we deal with the Heaven Vault?” Yue Changkong asked.
That monk stared at Yue Changkong before slowly speaking, “I heard that Benefactor Yue has a very deep grudge with Benefactor Qin? Is this true?”
“I won’t rest until either he or I dies.” Yue Changkong laughed.
“Since this is the case, if Benefactor Qin left the protection of the Heaven Vault, would Benefactor Yue be able to settle this grudge?” The monk asked again.
A radiant smile appeared on Yue Changkong’s face. These bald donkeys truly had their methods. After all, he had more understanding of the western world compared to others.
“Reverend, please instruct me.” Yue Changkong laughed.
