Chapter 763
On the way, with Jiang Hongyan's explanation, Xu Que finally understood Jiang Hongyan's purpose for going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect!
The distribution of forces on the Xuanzhen Continent was very chaotic. On the vast continent, there was only one Tongtian Kingdom, where humans and demon beasts coexisted.
Outside the Tongtian Kingdom, there was the Heavenly Beast Race, an exceptionally large and united group!
Besides that, there were various independent forces of different sizes.
These forces all occupied their own territories and did not belong to the Tongtian Kingdom. The leaders of each force were very powerful, at least having the strength of Qin Wei's faction!
And the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect was a leader among these independent forces.
They did not originate from the true Buddhist Sect but practiced Buddhist techniques and revered the Buddhist Sect. To explain it in Earth's terms, they could be called pseudo-Buddhist fans!
Furthermore, the leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect was one of the few existences on the Xuanzhen Continent who could contend with the Holy Emperor of the Tongtian Kingdom, so many people came seeking refuge.
It was just that Jiang Hongyan's trip to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect this time wasn't to seek refuge, but for a medicinal treasure!
Medicinal treasures also belonged to a category of Dharma treasures. Because they were originally spirit medicines but had lived for a long time without being able to transform into spirits, they eventually lived as natural Dharma treasures!
Jiang Hongyan was going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to borrow a medicinal treasure from the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect—the Immortal Hidden Grass!
Once activated, this item could conceal one's aura. Unless one appeared within a ten-mile radius of someone, even an Immortal's Divine Sense would find it difficult to detect their tracks!
Jiang Hongyan knew very well that the current problem was that her movements were controlled by the Holy Emperor. In that case, no matter what they did, they were entirely under the Holy Emperor's nose, and the hope of seizing the Dao Fruit became increasingly slim.
So she wanted to use the Immortal Hidden Grass to avoid the Holy Emperor's sensing and then find an opportunity to sneak into the Imperial Palace to seize the Dao Tree!
Xu Que raised both hands in favor of this plan, but a problem arose.
"Little girl, according to what you said, that Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Zeng Foye, is an existence who can contend with the Holy Emperor. Would he so easily lend us the Immortal Hidden Grass?" Xu Que asked. This was the crux of the problem.
Jiang Hongyan pursed her lips and smiled indifferently. "Zeng Foye has a strange temperament. As long as someone comes to him for help, he will give the other party a difficult problem. As long as the other party can complete it, he will satisfy their request. Although that medicinal treasure is precious, given Zeng Foye's personality, he will definitely take it out to test us!"
"Yo, that makes it easy. With your Luck Body, the hope is very high!" Xu Que was instantly happy.
Because not only was Jiang Hongyan a Luck Body, but even he could activate the Luck Halo. When Zeng Foye gave them a difficult problem, if he used the Luck Halo, maybe they would just happen to encounter a problem that wasn't tricky!
……
The two traveled continuously, heading all the way to the western border of the Tongtian Kingdom, almost without stopping.
Because their current actions would definitely be detected by the Holy Emperor.
So before the Holy Emperor sent people to obstruct them, they had to reach the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect first.
Thus, half a month later, Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan successfully arrived within the sphere of influence of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
This place was entirely a desert, and the environment was very similar to the Western Desert of the Four Great Continents.
But the Western Desert of the Four Great Continents was relatively desolate, while this place was very prosperous. The entire region was like an ancient desert kingdom, built with dense high towers and temples, and there were many markets, with people coming and going, very lively!
Of course, in such a place, there were all kinds of people, and it was no better than the border of the Tongtian Kingdom.
As soon as Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan stepped into the desert, they were stopped by a group of people dressed as martial monks.
Although these people wore martial monk robes, they had hair on their heads, which looked a bit incongruous. However, it wasn't hard to see from the three large characters "Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect" on their chests that this should be the patrol team of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, responsible for auditing cultivators entering the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's sphere of influence!
"Only those who are devout to our Buddha Sect may enter our Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect region!" a Heavenly Tribulation Stage martial monk said expressionlessly.
Xu Que was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to press his palms together and say "Amitabha."
But at this moment, he saw someone next to him take out a pendant from their bosom. The pendant was a statue of a golden Buddha, and the patrol team immediately let them pass.
"So that's how it is!" Xu Que smiled instantly, waved his hand, took a small box from the system mall, put it on a necklace, and hung it around his neck.
The martial monk frowned instantly and said in a deep voice, "Only those who are devout to our Buddha Sect may enter our Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect region!"
"I am! Look at what I'm wearing, Iron Goddess tea!" Xu Que proudly picked up the box on his chest, opened the lid, and showed it off to the martial monks. "See that? Authentic Iron Goddess tea, produced in '82!"
The martial monks' mouths twitched instantly, and they almost wanted to move to beat Xu Que.
Everyone else wears Buddha or Bodhisattva pendants, and you actually brought out a box of tea leaves, thinking that if you name it Iron Goddess tea, you can pass it off as a Buddha pendant?
Do you really think we're blind?
"Little guy, stop messing around. Quickly put this on, and then follow me!" At this time, Jiang Hongyan handed over a string of prayer beads and said softly.
"This really is Iron Goddess tea!" Xu Que explained helplessly. This guy's brain circuit was already hopeless.
However, he didn't come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to cause trouble, so he immediately took the prayer beads and put them on.
The martial monks' expressions turned from cloudy to sunny, and they even gave Xu Que a kind smile and let him pass.
With such behavior, one could imagine how much the Buddhist Sect was revered in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect's region.
Once inside, there was a huge market where people were selling all kinds of Buddha statues and prayer bead-type Dharma treasures, claiming they were consecrated by experts and possessed the blessing of Buddha power!
Walking further inside, incense smoke filled the air, and Buddha statues of all sizes were erected everywhere for people to kneel and worship!
Xu Que almost thought he had come to some large-scale sacrificial ceremony.
But Jiang Hongyan was not interested in these. She passed through the market all the way and took Xu Que toward the highest tower in the middle.
It was a Buddha tower that soared into the clouds, backed by a huge golden Buddha statue, looking very imposing.
The entire Buddha tower had ninety-nine eighty-one levels, and Buddha statues were erected at the four corners of each level's eaves. One could tell at a glance that this was where big shots lived.
But at this moment, the inside and outside of the Buddha tower were very lively, with many people coming and going, entering and exiting freely!
Jiang Hongyan also paused slightly, her face showing confusion. "This place is where Zeng Foye lives. It is usually not open to outsiders. How has it become like this today?"
"It's okay, I'll find someone to ask!" Xu Que smiled and reached out to stop a passerby.
"Brother, may I ask..."
Before he could finish, the passerby hurriedly pressed his palms together and said, "Amitabha, Buddha says it cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken!"
Immediately, he left directly.
Xu Que widened his eyes instantly.
What's the situation? Is it necessary to be so mysterious? I haven't even finished asking my question!
Seeing Xu Que's expression, Jiang Hongyan couldn't help but smile and explain, "There is a rule here: one must not speak of right and wrong before the Buddha, and one must not discuss worldly dust!"
"Dizzy, what kind of broken rule is this? It's too feudal! Forget it, I'll be direct!"
Seeing the massive golden lightning bolt behind Xu Que, many were instantly driven mad with fear, shouting loudly.
Jiang Hongyan was startled.
Before she could react, Xu Que suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly toward the high tower, "Buddha Master, Er Yue Hong of the Exploding Heaven Gang has come to seek medicine!"
……
