Chapter 346 - 340: Wu Nengsheng’s Scheme Succeeds, Infighting Begins
"Ah!"
"At this point, we can only take things one step at a time!" After hearing his sister-in-law’s words, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh.
Not to mention, his sister-in-law must reach Tier Two in order to obtain the cultivation technique for creating a divine country.
The problem is, this divine country creation is incredibly difficult. Except for the first Rebirth Saint Mother, no one has ever succeeded in cultivating it.
Therefore, even if his sister-in-law reaches Tier Two and obtains the method, she may not necessarily succeed in cultivation.
His sister-in-law also showed a worried expression and said to Lin Yuan, "Since the first Rebirth Saint Mother achieved success in cultivating this divine country method, I am not without hope!"
"For you, I will certainly give it my all!"
His sister-in-law was sincere and willing to give her life for Lin Yuan if necessary.
Lin Yuan knew that as long as there was the slightest hope, he wouldn’t give up.
"There’s no need to rush!"
"I have a human seed bag, so short-term safety can be assured." Lin Yuan comforted his sister-in-law.
Since he hadn’t found a solution to the power of faith with his sister-in-law, Lin Yuan’s only remaining hope was the Dean.
The Dean was extraordinarily wise and might be able to find an alternative solution to the power of faith.
Seeing his sister-in-law’s demeanor now, it seemed she was even more anxious than Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan stepped forward, took his sister-in-law’s hand, and softly said, "It’s getting late, let’s go inside!"
Sister-in-law: "????"
His sister-in-law was stunned, then her face turned crimson.
"At a time like this, you’re still thinking of that!" his sister-in-law lightly chided.
Lin Yuan, however, replied confidently, "The power of faith won’t take my life right now, but I’ve been stifled these days!"
Recently, Lin Yuan had been staying in the City of Sin.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Lin Yuan had been missing his sister-in-law greatly.
Without further ado, Lin Yuan led his sister-in-law inside.
As they entered, Lin Yuan shouted towards Liuyu Heaven outside, "I’m not leaving tonight, stand guard outside."
Liuyu Heaven: "????"
Liuyu Heaven was exasperated, thinking, you’re comfortable there, leaving me to guard outside?
I’m begging you, be human!
...
...
Meanwhile.
Mysterious World.
Since Lin Yuan released Duowen Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven last time, under Wu Nengsheng’s schemes, the entire sect had fallen into chaos.
Various rumors within the sect have emerged one after another.
Some believe that it was the collaboration of Chiguo Heaven’s four brothers that led to Tiger Robe Ming King’s death.
Others think this is impossible because Chiguo Heaven and Duowen Heaven also died.
In the western part of the Mysterious World, there is a mountain radiating with blazing golden light, and at the top, there is a temple made of gold.
This was once the World Honored’s sacred site.
The mountain and temple remain unnamed.
Wu Nengsheng once asked the World Honored why the mountain and temple remained unnamed.
The World Honored replied, "The time hasn’t come."
Wu Nengsheng speculated that the time the World Honored referred to was the moment of enlightenment.
After the World Honored achieves enlightenment, they will return to the temple to name the mountain and temple.
Since the World Honored reincarnated and started anew, the mountain and temple have been left vacant.
This mountain is referred to within the sect as the Sacred Mountain, attracting large groups of followers who worship the World Honored in daily supplication at the foot of the mountain.
This is the sect’s Sacred Mountain, and normally, unless necessary, no one goes uphill.
Only in matters concerning the life and death of the sect do higher-ups like Wu Nengsheng convene the sect’s mid- to high-level members for meetings and strategies at the temple.
Today, the gold temple is gathered with the mid- to high-level members of the World Honored One Sect.
In the center of the grand hall is a massive lotus platform made of gold.
This lotus platform is currently empty.
Back in the day, the World Honored would sit atop the lotus platform, preaching to the followers.
Now, with the World Honored reincarnated for cultivation, the position is naturally vacant.
To the lower left and lower right of the World Honored’s position are smaller golden lotus platforms.
These two golden lotus platforms are roughly one-third the size of the World Honored’s golden lotus platform.
These two golden lotus platforms have occupants.
The golden lotus platform on the left hosts a young man of indistinct appearance who emanates Buddha’s Radiance and displays a swirl of azure, yellow, red, black, and white colors behind him.
His name is Peacock Great Ming King, a leading figure within the sect besides the World Honored, unmatched in martial prowess.
He commands all Ming Kings, Vajras, and Dharma Guardian Deities who are responsible for combat within the sect.
The lotus platform on the right is occupied by a plump monk—none other than Wu Nengsheng.
In both the Real World and the Mysterious World, the right side is typically the honored side.
Peacock Great Ming King being the sect’s prominent leader is seated on the left side, while Wu Nengsheng occupies the right, indicating Wu Nengsheng’s slightly higher position.
Indeed, this was the fact.
Wu Nengsheng is the chosen successor of the World Honored.
The World Honored once said during a lecture, "I am the current Buddha, Wu Nengsheng is the future Buddha."
Why would Wu Nengsheng, as the World Honored’s successor, join Elder Bai and others to remove the World Honored?
This is quite understandable.
Once the World Honored achieves enlightenment, they will be immortal, the sole essence of this world.
By then, even the world’s destruction wouldn’t end the World Honored.
The so-called successor would naturally become a joke.
Wu Nengsheng’s role as the future Buddha would always remain a future Buddha.
Only if the World Honored fails in their enlightenment, scattering their soul, could Wu Nengsheng as the future Buddha become the present Buddha.
Hence, the one who most desires the World Honored’s demise is Wu Nengsheng.
The sect members gathered here to discuss strategies unaware that this is all part of Wu Nengsheng’s conspiracy.
"Two honored ones, how do you perceive the matter of Tiger Robe Ming King’s death?" A middle-aged man with a muscular, terrifying physique and bare upper body spoke first.
He is Great Brahma Heaven, and one of the top-ranking among the thirty-six Dharma Guardian Deities, ranked no less than Chiguo Heaven’s four brothers.
Crucially, Great Brahma Heaven is at odds with Chiguo Heaven.
He once clashed with Chiguo Heaven but was no match for the four united Chiguo Heaven brothers and had to retreat.
Since then, he has harbored enmity with the Chiguo Heaven brothers.
His speaking first undeniably targets the surviving Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven.
After Great Brahma Heaven finished speaking, silence enveloped the hall.
Wu Nengsheng glanced at Peacock Great Ming King seated opposite him, who was currently meditating, indifferent to the situation.
With Peacock Great Ming King silent, Wu Nengsheng had no choice but to speak.
Otherwise, the matter could not proceed, rendering his orchestration futile.
