Chapter 967

Of course, Su Fan and Zhang Liang do not know the Buddhist Sect's plans.

But now that Buddhist disciples have appeared in the Nanzhan Buzhou of Jambudvipa, both of them instantly understood that this is the Buddhist Sect wanting to reach out to the East.

"It seems the Buddhist Sect is also unwilling to be lonely."

Zhang Liang said with a smile.

It seems the human race has become a piece of sweet pastry that everyone wants to take a bite of.

"After the Investiture of the Gods war, the Buddhist Sect bit off the largest piece of bread; the Chan Sect and Human Sect colluded with the Buddhist Sect, but in the end, it benefited the Buddhist Sect, making the Buddhist Sect's strength increase greatly, so they naturally do not want to be trapped in Lingshan."

Su Fan sneered.

The Investiture of the Gods war was originally just a struggle between the three religions, but in the end, the Human Sect and Chan Sect, in order to suppress the Jie Sect to death, finally invited the two Western Saints.

They failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, and the Jie Sect was indeed destroyed.

But the Buddhist Sect ate its fill, plundering several thousand disciples from the Jie Sect, which immediately strengthened the Buddhist Sect; furthermore, it won over Dipankara and several of the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals.

Even more so, the Taiqing Saint used Duobao to transform the Hu, wanting to share the Buddhist Sect's luck, but did not expect Zhunti to directly merge the Western Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, inviting Duobao to be the leader of the Buddhist Sect, and the Human Sect failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice again.

It also gave the Buddhist Sect a Quasi-Sage-level powerhouse.

Up to this point, the Buddhist Sect can be said to have won a great victory in the Investiture of the Gods war; even though the Human and Chan sects were the winners of the Investiture of the Gods war, in reality, they only made wedding clothes for others.

As for whether the truth of the Investiture of the Gods war is like this, it is not important anymore; anyway, the Buddhist Sect did indeed get the greatest benefits, and after the Investiture of the Gods war, the Buddhist Sect's strength increased greatly, and the future Journey to the West calamity made the Buddhist Sect flourish even more.

Of course, prosperity leads to decline, and then in the sequel to Journey to the West, the Buddhist Sect appeared with a demonic path, which annihilated the entire Lingshan.

As for whether it is true, Su Fan cannot guarantee.

But right now, it is true that the Buddhist Sect is strong.

"The Buddhist Sect has always wanted to move east, but before, when the Saints were present, they were always blocked; now that the Saints are gone, those high-level officials of the Buddhist Sect finally dare to take this step."

"This timing is also chosen very appropriately."

Su Fan's eyes were bright.

The Buddhist Sect choosing to move at this time is also because they see the contradiction between the Heavenly Court and the human race today.

The Buddhist Sect still does not dare to easily go to the Jiuzhou to preach the Dao.

The Jiuzhou is the base camp of the human race; even the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods have been weeded out by the Great Qin, let alone the Buddhist Sect.

The Buddhist Sect's strength is strong, but compared to the Heavenly Court, its influence on the Three Realms is still too low.

After all, the Heavenly Court is the master of the Three Realms on the surface.

Since ancient times, the Jiuzhou have been controlled by the human race; even when the Yin Shang perished and the Zhou Dynasty was established, only a portion of the immortals and gods came to the lower realm.

But later, the control of immortals and gods over the mortal world became lower and lower, and by the current Great Qin, there are almost no immortals and gods left.

The Buddhist Sect is a new force and has always had no influence on the East; even the Jiuzhou did not have the concept of the Buddhist Sect.

So the Buddhist Sect will not try to eat a fat man in one bite and go directly to the Jiuzhou.

The Nanzhan Buzhou of Jambudvipa is their probe.

Before the Primordial World shattered, the Western Sect and Buddhist Sect only had that shattered land in the West; later the Primordial World shattered, and the earth, fire, wind, and water were refined again, and the Buddhist Sect only had the Lingshan land in the Western Continent of Cattle-God.

These years, they have expanded to the entire Western Continent of Cattle-God.

But because of this, they have had constant friction with the Heavenly Court.

However, it is obvious that the Western Continent of Cattle-God alone cannot satisfy the Buddhist Sect's appetite; they want to continue to expand their scope of preaching.

The Nanzhan Buzhou of Jambudvipa is the base camp of the human race and has always been considered the traditional scope of the Dao Sect, but now the Dao Sect is declining, and the Buddhist Sect is becoming more and more prosperous.

Without the Saints, the Buddhist Sect is no longer afraid of the Dao Sect, so the Buddhist Sect has begun to act.

"You mean the Buddhist Sect is taking advantage of the Heavenly Court's inability to attend to other things, so it wants to occupy a part of the Nanzhan Buzhou of Jambudvipa?"

Zhang Liang was also somewhat surprised when he heard this.

His understanding of the Buddhist Sect is naturally not as good as Su Fan's.

In fact, because the Buddhist Sect's influence is very small and can only be considered a heterodox path, many forces in the East disdain the Buddhist Sect.

This is from top to bottom, and the understanding of the Buddhist Sect in the Jiuzhou is even less; naturally, Zhang Liang was somewhat surprised by the Buddhist Sect's courage.

In his view, the Buddhist Sect is just a heterodox path; after leaving the two Saints, even with two Quasi-Sages like Rulai and Dipankara, it is still far behind the behemoth that is the Heavenly Court.

Everyone's impression of the Buddhist Sect is obviously only Rulai and Dipankara; other Buddhist powerhouses seem to be unknown.

"Zifang, do not underestimate the Buddhist Sect; the Buddhist Sect's strength is very powerful. Just in terms of Quasi-Sages, the known ones are no fewer than five."

"Five Quasi-Sages?"

Zhang Liang was shocked, looking at Su Fan with an unbelievable expression. "Is this true?"

Zhang Liang naturally knows about Quasi-Sages, and it is precisely because he knows that he is so surprised; those are Quasi-Sages, the top-level figures in the Primordial Earth Immortal World.

How many such powerhouses are there in the entire Earth Immortal World? How many does our human race have? How many does the Heavenly Court have? The Buddhist Sect actually has five Quasi-Sages.

Is the Buddhist Sect this powerful?

Even some forces of the Dao Sect that he knows do not have such powerful strength.

"Hehe! Five Quasi-Sages, perhaps there will be more in the future?"

Su Fan continued.

"And there will be more?"

Zhang Liang was shocked again, and at this moment he was somewhat incredulous.

After all, this is simply too shocking; even their human race does not have so many Quasi-Sages.

"In the current Buddhist Sect, you should know Rulai and Dipankara, and the two disciples of the two Western Saints back then, Medicine Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, are also Quasi-Sages."

"That is four Quasi-Sages, and the guardian bird of the Yin Shang back then, Kong Xuan, was also forcibly snatched away by that Saint."

"That person dared to fight a Saint back then; even if he was defeated, his strength is extremely powerful among Quasi-Sages."

"That makes five."

"In addition, several of the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals who followed Dipankara and left have also had their cultivation definitely not stagnant over these years."

With Su Fan's explanation, Zhang Liang also instantly felt a chill; looking at it this way, the Buddhist Sect is really terrifying, yet they are so low-key.

Looking at Zhang Liang's expression, Su Fan smiled.

What is this? It is not impossible for the future Buddhist Sect to give birth to at least two more Quasi-Sages.

The Journey to the West calamity will see the Buddhist Sect's luck increase greatly, reaching a peak state.

At that time, Ksitigarbha and the monkey will become Buddhas through merit in the future; not to mention immediately becoming Quasi-Sages, but at least they will have this opportunity.

Ksitigarbha has accumulated over many lives and has a solid foundation; it is not impossible for him to break through with the descent of merit.

The monkey is a bit worse, but as the protagonist of a calamity, the monkey's foundation is not bad either, especially after eating so many spiritual pills and spiritual peaches in the Heavenly Court, and being tempered in Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace.

It can be said that his foundation is in no way inferior.

In addition, Bodhisattvas like Guanyin and Puxian also have the opportunity to try to break through.
