Chapter 916

Rhythmic Sanskrit chants echoed through Sumeru Heaven, and boundless Buddhist light bloomed in response.

In Sumeru Heaven and Bombarding Lingshan, terrified Fomen believers suddenly felt as if they had found their anchor, their faces filled with excitement and devotion.

At this moment, they all felt that the heavens of Fomen had returned.

As predicted, boundless Buddhist light converged, and in the center of Sumeru Heaven, two intact figures slowly coalesced within the light.

Boom!

In an instant, two vast heavenly auras swept across all three realms.

These two vast heavenly auras were the holy auras of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

They used this method to proclaim their resurrection and return.

Instantly, all three realms fell into complete silence.

"How is this possible? How could they resurrect so quickly? Could it be that the Dao Ancestor intervened? Only the Dao Ancestor's intervention could achieve such rapid resurrection. Is Fomen truly so important that the Dao Ancestor would pay any price to bring them back?"

The moment he sensed the presence of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, the Jade Emperor's eyes flickered with three parts shock, three parts incomprehension, and four parts relief.

The shock and incomprehension were directed at the resurrection of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

The relief stemmed from his decision to observe, not to strike Fomen at once.

Under these circumstances, had he already attacked Fomen, he would have drawn the thunderous wrath of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin.

Destroying Fomen after the saints' demise is one thing; destroying Fomen before the saints' eyes is another.

After Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin fell, destroying Fomen would have become a settled matter. Even if they resurrected tens of thousands of years later, they could only rage helplessly.

After all, the forces that carved up Buddhism were all factions across the three realms.

Even a saint could not stand against all forces of the three realms.

But doing so before Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin's eyes is entirely different.

What saints care about most is their face.

Carving up Buddhism right before their eyes is slapping Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin right across the face.

In such a case, even if Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin stepped in and crushed every single one who dared to carve up Buddhism, their own backer saints could not justly intervene.

As for factions without a saint's protection, being directly attacked by Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin was only natural.

If they could not even save their own disciples, how could they possibly intervene to protect other factions?

Even among saints, there are certain shared rules.

Yu Xu Palace.

"They resurrected so soon after falling? What is the Master trying to do? Are Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin truly so important that he would defy the Dao to bring them back?"

Upon sensing the resurrection of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin, Master Yuanshi's eyes flickered with a complex expression.

He knew full well what price had to be paid to resurrect Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin in such a short time.

Precisely because of this, Master Yuanshi could not understand.
