Chapter 230: Seizing the Fo Men

Among the many lineages of the Three Teachings, the overwhelming majority of sects conduct themselves based on harmony.

They value gentleness in action, first persuading then enlightening.

The obstinate and dull are further suppressed.

The Purple Star Emperor Sect is different; as one of the strongest Daoist sects, it upholds Yang Zu's will.

Its main principle is: if someone refuses, it acts.

In dealing with people or matters, it remains forceful to the end.

When Yang Zu was alive, he often fought the Fo Men; every time, he pressed the Fo Men to yield with the most forceful stance.

When the Fo Men are in trouble, the Purple Star Emperor Sect is always the first to kick them when they're down.

……

Lin Chuan, who is confronting the Fo Men, also sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching this realm.

"Who's coming?"

"The newcomer is clearly stronger than those two from the Fo Men."

Lin Chuan is uncertain.

Boom!

A violet Long Rainbow streaked across the sky, not striking Golden Spirit Mountain, but it forcefully scattered the other Fo Men strongmen who came to aid.

"Here to help me?"

Lin Chuan is puzzled.

A roar from the Fo Men quickly dispelled his inner doubt.

"Hao Xuan Jiao Zu! Does the Purple Star Emperor Sect also want to intervene?!"

"Great Sun Fozu is joking; I merely cannot stand the vile act of many bullying few. If it were one‑on‑one, I would not meddle in idle affairs."

Hao Xuan Jiao Zu laughed heartily.

Great Sun Fozu grew angrier, "Your Purple Star Emperor Sect insists on clashing with my Fo Men?!"

"Not at all."

Hao Xuan Jiao Zu sighed, "Yang Zu said that our Purple Star Emperor Sect does not fight or seize; we only seek fairness and justice for all living beings of heaven and earth."

"Your Fo Men overwhelm the few with many; that is truly excessive."

"I have no choice but to act; I dare not violate the sect's regulations and ancestral teachings."

"I hope you will not put me in a difficult position; do not force me further."

His tone is sincere, looking as if he has no alternative.

"Hao Xuan, we could have let you in the past, but today it is absolutely impossible; if you continue to block us, don't force my Fo Men to sever ties with your Purple Star Emperor Sect!"

"The Three Teachings are one family; I hope you will not act recklessly any more."

Burning Lamp Fozu also spoke.

"Ah, Senior Burning Lamp, why have you also awakened?"

Hao Xuan Jiao Zu said seriously, "You are right; the Three Teachings are one family. You must never act on impulse; today you'd better step aside for the junior."

"The junior respects the elders and loves the young; we truly do not wish to break the Three Teachings' proprieties."

"If today we beat you into any trouble, Yang Zu would surely send us a dream, and the junior is scared."

Though he claims to be scared, Hao Xuan Jiao Zu, with three heads and six arms, never stopped; his hand speed was so fast it produced countless afterimages, continuously unleashing Divine Power, forcibly cutting off the Fo Men's lineage support.

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched.

The doctrine of the Purple Star Emperor Sect has indeed been applied to the extreme by this sect founder.

It seems that Sister's reincarnated form, Yang Zu, has taught the descendants of the Purple Star Emperor Sect a great deal.

However, this outwardly forceful yet inwardly protective temperament truly resembles Sister.

"Hao Xuan Jiao Zu, many thanks for the assistance."

Lin Chuan transmitted his voice, thanking this contemporary sect founder of the Purple Star Emperor Sect.

Hao Xuan Daozu laughed in reply, "Daoist Friend, no need to thank; I merely act in accordance with the ancestors' will."

"Fine."

Lin Chuan did not chatter; seizing the chance, he continued extracting Pure World White Lotus from the Fo Men.

"Burning Lamp Fozu, what shall we do?"

Seeing the Pure World White Lotus being drawn away petal by petal, Great Sun Fozu grew frantic, yet was helpless.

The opponent's attainment on the Path of Fortune surpasses his by far, fully controlling the Pure World White Lotus.

"There's nothing we can do."

Burning Lamp Fozu shook his head.

"Perhaps we should awaken another sleeping Fozu." Great Sun Fozu was unwilling to abandon this overwhelming Fortune.

"Useless."

Burning Lamp Fozu sighed, "The Purple Star Emperor Sect is set on clashing with the Fo Men; with them meddling, this battle is destined for us to lose."

Great Sun Fozu was unwilling, "Are we to just accept it? Let the Fortune of Golden Spirit Mountain be drained away?"

"Even if we don't accept it, we must accept it."

Burning Lamp Fozu said, "Other Buddhas are near the end of their lifespans; once awakened, the chance of their downfall is great."

"Unless the Fo Men's lineage faces extinction, we must not awaken them."

"Now what we can do is sacrifice our own Fortune, and we must not let that mysterious presence on the Heavenly Dome succeed."

"What do you mean?" Great Sun Fozu glared, "Destroy the Fortune White Lotus?"

"Exactly."

Burning Lamp Fozu pressed both palms together and chanted the Buddhist sutras.

Great Sun Fozu gritted his teeth and followed suit.

The two's Buddhist avatars appeared in numerous Fozu realms, wielding Divine Power to completely destroy the White Lotus that had not yet been extracted.

At the same time, both of them suffered backlash.

Puff!

Golden Fozu blood sprayed out from their Fozu bodies.

As Fo Men Patriarchs, they severed their Qi flow; the price they must bear is evident.

"Hmm?"

Lin Chuan, who was extracting the White Lotus, frowned, "The Qi flow has become even more scattered? The Fo Men truly have spirit, destroying the White Lotus themselves, ha!"

If other great powers tried to seize the Qi flow, they would indeed be at a loss in this situation.

But before him, it is futile.

Lin Chuan even felt like laughing.

The Pure World Hong Lian and Pure World White Lotus that exist between heaven and earth originated from Tianmo Chuan's self-destruction of the Twelve-Petal Annihilation Hong Lian, transformed by the Heavenly Dao Great Vow.

One World-Destroying Hong Lian can transform into countless Pure World Red and White Lotuses.

It can also further diversify.

The core linking them has always been a single entity, constantly under Tianmo Chuan's control.

"Gather!"

Lin Chuan let out a light shout.

The shattered White Lotus instantly coalesced into one, forming a larger White Lotus; Great Sun Fozu and Burning Lamp Fozu had not yet managed to stop it, and the White Lotus had already broken through Golden Spirit Mountain's seal.

"How could this happen?!"

The two great Buddhas were completely stunned, unable to comprehend.

I thought that shattering the White Lotus would allow its gathered Qi flow to reintegrate into the Fo Men Shengdi, yet that mysterious being reassembled the White Lotus?!

"Could it be..."

Burning Lamp Fozu felt fear rise within, "Could he truly be the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor?"

"But..."

Great Sun Fozu said gravely, "The Fo Men Ancestor long ago said that the Heavenly Demon, after making the Heavenly Dao Great Vow, was burdened with endless Calamity, his soul scattered to the winds."

"Not even Reincarnation can contain him!"

"How could he possibly be reincarnated and start anew?!"

Watching helplessly as the Fo Men Qi flow was severed, and with the Pure World White Lotus extracted, the two great Buddhas' demeanor visibly withered.

In the Wangxian Realm of the Three Teachings, the overwhelming majority rely on the Merit of sentient beings' incense to reach this stage; strength is closely tied to the vigor of one's own Dao lineage.

Lin Chuan glanced regretfully at Golden Spirit Mountain; had he continued the pursuit, he could have utterly slain the two great Buddhas.

But doing so would mean completely tearing off his mask.

For his daughter Qing Fan, he still gave up.

At this moment, the crystal sealing Lin Qingfan was already overgrown with White Lotus; the dense Qi flow dissolved the surrounding dead air, bringing new life.

Meanwhile, the power granted by the Heavenly Dao Divine Office Reincarnation Reflection Card is gradually fading.
