True Son Duo Bao saw a hint of madness appear in the eyes of the three thousand cultivators and couldn’t help but snigger inwardly while thinking of a method to deal with the situation. He turned toward the numerous cultivators before speaking in a cold tone.
“Since the forest opened and you all nominated me as your leader, then I will naturally share a portion of those several hundred godhoods with you. But you should know what you cannot take! If someone secretly takes something they shouldn’t take, then I, Duo Bao, will tell you now that the information of all the cultivators who entered the night pearl has been recorded. I am not investigating you all, but if I find something I shouldn’t find, you will be on your own.”
After he said that, the eyes of some people among the three thousand cultivators dimmed as they began to carefully consider his words.
True Son Duo Bao then turned toward the taoist young master and buddha son and unhurriedly said, “The forest suddenly opened, and we haven’t properly discussed the division of godhoods. Since this is the case, let’s allow the three thousand cultivators to pick the godhoods. We have to focus on dealing with the two of them.”
While saying that, True Son Dao Buo turned toward the chariot pulled by yin phoenixes and the pure white palace. Once the forest suddenly opened, the Nine Palaces and Yin Manor, who were previously about to retreat, chose to stick around.
The lotus imprint on the head of the buddha son flickered, and he smiled, which made a pair of dimples appear on his face. “We have to take this way. The people of Yin Manor and Nine Palaces aren’t leaving, so they will certainly create some trouble. Jiu Zhen, take a few younger brothers and sisters to pluck the godhoods while others stay with me to expel the people of Yin Manor.”
A middle-aged man flew down from the platform. He was dressed in simple clothes and holding a fly whisk in his hand.
“Liu Qing, you also take a few disciples with you to follow the dao brothers to pluck the godhoods. The remaining disciples will follow me to drive out the traitors who betrayed their master.”
A response came from both factions, and a few figures flew in front of the three thousand cultivators before the gradually weakening barrier of the forest.
Buddha son’s attention then turned to the chariot pulled by yin phoenixes. He placed his hands in front of his chest and formed a lotus imprint. The domain surrounding his body spread out with waves of immortal presence, which enveloped half of the sky and filled it with numerous buddhas as the sound of buddhist scriptures being chanted echoed from all directions.
A halo appeared behind the buddha son, and wherever he stepped, the projection of a lotus appeared as he advanced toward the chariot.
“Hmph, baldy, I am not afraid of you!” Yin Qi said in a disdainful tone while lying in the chariot and watching buddha son’s domain expanding as buddhist scriptures were being chanted.
When Yin Emperor was an ordinary cultivator, he walked the path of life and death grand dao until he comprehended the daos of Yin and Yang. Afterwards, when he became an immortal, he perceived his innate skill and focused on comprehending the dao of death.
It allowed him to create the yin domain which could steal the live spirits and turn them into vengeful spirits for his use. Because of this, he was expelled from his sect and was chased by all the peak powers, among which Buddha Clan was at the forefront. They had put him in deadly situations more than once.
Afterwards, Yin Emperor entered the Alliance to be able to take a breather. He was part of it until he became an emperor monarch and experienced the war with the Origin World. After that, he left to establish Yin Manor and advanced to quasi sage, becoming another peak power of the Goumang Real World.
The Buddha Clan renounced their hunt for Yin Emperor, but because of the shared history, the disciples of Yin Manor and Buddha Clan viewed each other as enemies.
Yin Qi appeared out of the chariot with the yin domain supporting him from behind. There were countless miserable and resentful spirits within it, and it covered half the sky, just like the domain of the numerous buddhas. Waves of immortal presence emitted from the bodies of the two men as they turned into a blur and exchanged blows.
Yao Mingwei slowly walked out from the pure white palace while looking at True Son Duo Bao and the taoist young master with a faint smile on his lips. “This forest pened at such an unsuitable time. I and Brother Yin have yet to withdraw, so it seems like we must have a round between us.”
After he said that, a simple broken spell flag appeared in his hand, and he threw it toward them. The spell flag divided into countless spell flags and entered the ground, from where they created waves of spell formations. There were more than several hundred of them, but the expressions of Duo Bao and the taoist young master didn’t change even after seeing them. They just used their own means to attack.
On the other side, the light created by the several hundred grand daos pulled back to the ancient tree in the forest, and the naturally existing barrier completely disappeared. But True Son Duo Bao had warned the three thousands cultivators about greedy, which wiped it from their hearts, and they followed the Buddha Clan and taoists in an orderly manner.
Together, they entered the forest which previously only seemed to be a hundred meters wide. Yet from the outside, none of them could see inside. A thick mist drifted around the place where the three thousand cultivators stood.
Soon though, one of them hardened their resolve and took a breath. Immediately after, he felt that the air in his mouth was filled with a large amount of spiritual energy.
When the barrier was closed, the spiritual energy of the earth had gathered above the forest, forming a thick cloud. The three thousand cultivators, who were staying outside, could sense the thick energy of heaven and earth, but not take it. But when they entered the forest, although the spiritual energy wasn’t different from before, it materialized into liquid, which was quite terrifying.
Given the thickness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the forest could be considered as a blessed land.
Apart from the peak powers, none of the sects or factions behind the three thousand cultivators had a blessed land which could compare to this one. Upon realizing that, the taoists and disciples of Buddha Clan standing at the front revealed astonished expressions.
“This forest only seemed to be a hundred meters wide from the outside, but now three thousand cultivators have entered and there is still space. It is clear that this forest is a blessed land. The faint silhouette of the ancient tree can be seen before us, which can make people believe that it is not far away, but in reality, it is thousands of kilometers away. We must proceed carefully.”
“Dao brother’s words are correct. What do the three thousand dao friends have to say?”
Jiu Zhen and Liu Qing looked at the forest and settled the matters in a few words. Their final question for the three thousand cultivators was only in order to remind them not to act without thinking. The forest didn’t seem that large from the outside, but it was a blessed land, where they could not judge the distance accurately.
The forest was definitely a blessed land of a faction from the Goumang Real World. It might be dangerous to explore it, but with so many tribulation passing experts, they could definitely pass through it. The appearance of the forest in the night pearl small world had to be because of someone. An almighty must have mistakenly hidden it while still being part of the Alliance.
A forest concealed by an almighty was definitely dangerous, so a portion of cultivators might perish inside it. Thus, the two men reminded the three thousand cultivators about the dangers and warned them to not become restless, for it might spell their doom.
“We will properly follow after the two dao brothers.”
The three thousand cultivators spoke in unison. Everyone who had entered the forest understood that it wasn’t simple. In order to remain safe, they had to properly follow after the taoists and Buddha Clan.
