Chapter 573: Myriad Buddha Temple, Myriad Buddha Pagoda

Mmm.

The Buddha's voice echoed, reverberating throughout the Myriad Poison Cave; whether poisonous creatures or demonic beasts, upon hearing these sounds, they all sat down and devoutly kowtowed.

The lotus pedestal beneath the Myriad Poison Demon King rose, emanating a pure and holy aura, making the Myriad Poison Demon King become divine and pure.

The Buddha's voice issued from his mouth, continually cleansing the souls below that were still resisting.

"Ignorant souls, you ought to take refuge in my Buddha."

The voice was like the supreme Buddha's sound, shaking those struggling souls; in an instant, they all ceased resistance and became his followers.

Behind the Myriad Poison Demon King, a Buddhist pagoda slowly appeared; those followers all knelt on the ground, streams of Buddha light from their bodies flowing onto the pagoda; as this light entered, the pagoda radiated brilliant light all over.

Buddha light blazed forth.

The Buddhist pagoda hovered behind the Myriad Poison Demon King, resonating with the lotus platform, emitting even more brilliant light.

The Myriad Buddha Pagoda, the Pagoda of Buddha Light, was once a great treasure of the Buddhist sect; it fell into the hands of the Myriad Poison Demon King, who refined it, making it his supreme treasure. Previously, his demonic and poisonous aura prevented him from refining this supreme treasure; instead, he sought to defile it with demonic and poisonous energy to forge it into a demonic artifact—a task of considerable difficulty.

He refined it for many years, yet made not the slightest progress.

After converting his cultivation, becoming a demon of the Buddhist sect, this supreme treasure finally acknowledged his existence and became his supreme treasure.

The Myriad Poison Demon King opened his eyes, spread his right hand, and the Myriad Buddha Pagoda shrank, hovering in his palm; that Myriad Buddha Pagoda emitted Buddha light, illuminating the Myriad Poison Demon King, making his Buddha light more brilliant and eye‑catching.

With the Myriad Buddha Pagoda in hand, the Myriad Poison Demon King felt his strength rise to a higher level, becoming far more formidable than before.

Below were his followers; as their numbers grew, his Buddhist teachings swiftly improved.

"The techniques of Myriad Buddha Temple are truly mysterious; no wonder it was once the strongest sect."

"All the demons of the Myriad Poison Cave have become my followers, but it's not enough; it's too few."

"The Monster Race is not numerous; even if all were converted, it would not let me advance further."

The Myriad Poison Demon King, full of compassion, raised his head and gazed toward the human world.

The Monster Race is weak, its numbers sparse; moreover, what they believe in themselves cannot provide much faith.

There is neither pure humanity nor abundant humanity.

Humanity's seven emotions and six desires are the greatest; one person's faith in himself equals that of ten monsters.

Moreover, humanity is numerous, able to continually reproduce and increase.

"If the Great Qi Dynasty were all my followers, how would that be?"

"True Realm is no longer illusory; indeed, I could truly become that Buddha."

"Myriad Buddha Temple, I will restore its glory in my hands."

The Myriad Buddha Pagoda sensed his thoughts, continually vibrating, as if urging him to swiftly accomplish his great undertaking.

The Buddhist sect's great undertaking is to transmit the Dharma, letting it spread throughout the human world.

The Buddha light of Myriad Buddha Temple illuminates every corner of this world.

And he is the new generation Buddha of Myriad Buddha Temple.

The Myriad Poison Demon King could envision that scene: the entire Great Qi Dynasty as his followers, even the imperial family kneeling at his feet, venerating him.

There were also the Heavenly Heart Sect, Spirit Sword Sect, Yin Gui Sect, and so on—sects that once looked down on his faction, and those strong ones, each kneeling at his feet, how exhilarating.

He, he desperately wanted to witness that scene.

"Let's start with the Heavenly Heart Sect."

Heavenly Heart Sect, the target of everyone's resentment.

This is also the start of his propagation of the Dharma.

Other powers are all watching the Heavenly Heart Sect.

"Perhaps we can work something out with the White Deer King; he will surely stand on our side."

Within the Myriad Poison Cave, he is supreme.

"Chen Chuyang, wait for me, Buddha; someday I will convert you."

"Let you serve me, Buddha, for lifetime after lifetime."

"Hahaha."

Buddha light once again illuminated the Myriad Poison Cave.

Deep within the clan's territory.

The White Deer King opened his eyes and gazed toward the Myriad Poison Cave.

He curled the corner of his mouth into a smile and slowly said: "The Myriad Poison Demon King ultimately walked this path; Myriad Buddha Temple shall once again revive this world."

"This makes it interesting; let the Myriad Poison Demon King bring fear to those outsiders who dread Myriad Buddha Temple."

"Myriad Buddha Pagoda, Three‑Grade White Lotus Platform, Myriad Poison Demon King—do not let me down."

He gradually closed his eyes.

Within the cave dwelling, tranquility returned once more.

Yin Gui Sect.

Yin Gui Zhenren stared at the Myriad Poison Cave, his expression grave.

"The Myriad Poison Demon King has been resurrected; his cultivation has advanced further."

"The pressure on Yin Gui Sect is greater; with the Heavenly Heart Sect not destroyed, Yin Gui Sect cannot rise."

The Four Elders respectfully said: "Sect Leader, are we truly to act against the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

Yin Gui Zhenren with hands behind his back said: "The Monster Race has caused quite a stir; the Myriad Poison Demon King's resurrection again makes a comeback likely; by then, our Yin Gui Sect will be the first to bear the brunt, and the Myriad Poison Demon King will surely not spare our Yin Gui Sect."

Position determines many things.

The Myriad Poison Demon King bears a grudge against Chen Chuyang; to attack Longshe Shan, he must pass through Yin Gui Sect.

It is the necessary route.

Yin Gui Sect either joins forces with the Myriad Poison Demon King to jointly oppose Chen Chuyang, or becomes the Myriad Poison Demon King's enemy.

No matter which choice, they cannot end up well.

The Fourth Elder fell silent upon hearing that.

Sect Leader, what does Chen Chuyang's side say?

Yin Gui Zhenren shook his head: "That person is very cautious; there is no benefit, and he will absolutely not act."

Trying to borrow a knife to kill someone is not likely.

The Fourth Elder frowned: "Is there only one road we can take?"

"As of now, that is indeed the case." Yin Gui Zhenren pondered: "The previous plot failed to make the Heavenly Heart Sect furious; the Heavenly Heart Old Ghost is even more composed than I expected; the Heavenly Heart Sect has taken no action, and the Monster Race is the same."

They are all waiting, waiting for someone to act first.

The Heavenly Heart Sect remains strong; no one wishes to be the one who stands out.

The Yin Gui Sect also does not want to be the one who stands out; they all know the principle that the gun shoots the bird that sticks out.

That is precisely why nobody wants to make the first move.

Chen Chuyang is even less likely; that person is in a very safe position, and nobody wants to act against them.

The position that was once the most embarrassing has now become the safest.

Surrounded by numerous sect forces, to deal with Longshe Shan one must pass through them.

"Ah."

Yin Gui Zhenren does not want to act, but he has no choice.

The Fourth Elder also understands the Sect Leader's dilemma; he can only act.

Far, far underground.

The Plague Demon Beast has again completed its transformation, taking on human form.

Mu Longhao took control of this body, suppressing the Plague Demon Beast entirely.

"Whoosh, finally transformed."

"Really not easy."

Looking at his own body, this new body is somewhat fragile, not as good as the previous one.

"This body is a bit weak, but the Plague Demon Beast's body also has advantages: it can grow without limit."

"Next, we need to spread the plague."

"I need to wait for an opportunity."
