Even Xuanjizi was somewhat puzzled by the actions of the Underworld Palace, and sighed, saying:

"The King of the Underworld has come today with the second-in-command of the Underworld, the Underworld Protector, and the Crown Prince of the Underworld. It is truly a great honor. Even I don't know what they want to do."

"The people from the Buddhist realm have also arrived. The Heavenly Buddha Venerable, the head of all Buddhas, along with the disciples of their Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, has run into the King of the Underworld. It's quite interesting."

At this point, Xuanjizi looked at Zhou Xingdou again and said:

"But I did not show myself to greet you; instead, I am here to tell you all this. Do you know why?"

After pondering for a few moments, Zhou Xingdou focused his gaze and said:

"Could it be that the Dao Lord wants to incite conflict between the Buddhist Realm and the Underworld Palace, and is testing the Underworld Palace first?"

The persecution of Buddhism and the prohibition of Chan Buddhism may be unknown to ordinary people and not recorded in the Xuantian Dao Sect's classics, but Xuanjizi must have known about it.

Therefore, Xuanjizi was not unaware of the situation outside, but deliberately wanted to cause a conflict between the Underworld Palace and the Buddhist Domain. If Xuanjizi had not stepped forward to mediate on behalf of the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Underworld Palace, which was suppressing Buddhism and prohibiting Zen, and the Buddhist Domain would have definitely fought each other.

"That's right, there is indeed such a point."

Xuanjizi nodded, looking at Zhou Xingdou with an expression that suggested he was a promising student, but still added:

"However, if that were all, I wouldn't need to let you leave the pass ahead of schedule."

The purpose of our visit from the Buddhist realm is probably related to you.

Zhou Xingdou frowned, somewhat puzzled, and asked:

"I don't think I've had any dealings with anyone from the Buddhist community."

It's no wonder Zhou Xingdou was puzzled. Since his birth, he had basically had no contact with Buddhism. If there was any connection, it was only his war slave Fahai who practiced Mahayana Buddhism.

However, Fahai was summoned by the system himself and had no connection whatsoever with the Buddhism of the Primordial Era.

Xuanjizi narrowed his face and looked at Zhou Xingdou with a hint of mockery:

"You should know about the suppression of Buddhism and Zen practice by the Underworld Palace. Do you know where the original site of the Great Sun Zen Temple, which was destroyed back then, is?"

Zhou Xingdou really didn't know where the original site of the Great Sun Zen Temple was, but now that Xuanjizi had said that the purpose of the Buddhist realm's visit was related to him and had mentioned the original site of the Great Sun Zen Temple, Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.

"Could it be the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow, a hint of speechlessness on his face.

Xuanjizi also confirmed Zhou Xingdou's guess:

"Yes, when the Da Ri Zen Temple was destroyed, its original site was completely destroyed by the then Underworld Palace, leaving it a wasteland with no one to take over it."

Later, it was occupied by the ancestors of the Great Yan Dynasty. Many years later, the spiritual energy of that barren land revived, which led to the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"The Buddhist Domain has been trying to expand outwards for many years, but it has always been wary of the Underworld Palace and has not found a suitable land. Now that the Great Yan has been destroyed by your Zhou family and the Zhou family has left the Primordial Origin, they probably want to ask you for that enclave."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingdou's expression turned slightly cold, and his silver-white eyes, filled with purple aura, stared directly at Xuanjizi as he said:

"You should know that I've already had the Zhou family's legacy moved there. Do you think I'll give them this land?"

As he spoke, a chill ran through Zhou Xingdou's eyes, and he continued in a deep voice:

"Or are you planning to make me give up that piece of land?"

Zhou Xingdou's words were blunt, even offensive. Xuanjizi wasn't angry, but he stopped smiling and said somewhat seriously:

"Do you really think that my Xuantian Dao Sect can't even protect its own Dao Child in the face of the Buddhist Domain?"

Xuanjizi's body was enveloped in the flow of Dao principles, and an unfathomable aura rose up, a powerful aura enveloping Zhou Xingdou.

Zhou Xingdou remained unmoved, staring intently at Xuanjizi. Despite the overwhelming aura emanating from him, he still looked at Xuanjizi with icy indifference.

Seeing that Zhou Xingdou remained in this posture, Xuanjizi shook his head slightly, and the surging momentum and aura instantly disappeared. He sighed softly and explained:

“I won’t let you give in. I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on. Although this is the first time that Buddhist disciple from the Buddhist Domain has appeared, I can see that he cultivates the invincible path. The Buddhist Domain brought him here today, probably with the intention of fighting you, and they will use the land of the Great Yan Dynasty as a wager.”

"If I ask you to fight today, you will not refuse under any circumstances, otherwise your momentum will be suppressed. If you agree, and they win, not only will their Buddhist disciple become famous and gather invincible power, but they will also gain the enclave of the Great Sun Zen Temple. This is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhou Xingdou's face showed disdain, a flash of lightning appeared in his eyes, and his voice was cold and sharp:

"Would I let him win?!"

It's not that Zhou Xingdou is arrogant, but let alone the fact that his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force is now at its peak, forging a body of dominion, and reaching the realm of transforming blood and qi into divine power.

Back then, among his peers, he feared no one, whether they were divine sons, crown princes, or Buddhas. Now, unless they were imperial sons or ancient freaks, none of them could even dream of fighting him on the same level.

“I know you possess a Dao Body and have astonishing combat power, but this Buddha Child of Ten Thousand Buddhas is probably not simple. I have never heard of any Buddha Child in the Buddhist Realm before.”

The Xuan Tian Dao Sect's intelligence network now suspects that this person is a genius previously sealed away in the Buddhist Realm, who has now broken free and may be vying for the Heavenly Heart Emperor's throne in this lifetime.

Xuanjizi also showed a hint of helplessness, sighed again, and continued:

"Moreover, you should understand that there are quite a few who will challenge you today. Those from the Sword Domain, the Underworld Prince brought by the Underworld King, and even some other unknown geniuses all want to use the name of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect to become famous throughout the world."

If it were just a fight against that Buddha's disciple, I wouldn't be worried about your strength. But those who dare to challenge you today are no ordinary geniuses. If, after everyone's challenges, you are not in peak condition, and the Buddhist Domain challenges you to a duel, what will you do?

Stephen Chow remained dismissive, letting out a sneer:

"What I fear least in my life is a war of attrition."

There's no need to elaborate on how powerful Zhou Xingdou's recovery ability is. Not to mention the Undying Technique: The Secret of the Word "Zhe", even his current seventh level of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, which allows him to withstand countless tribulations and be invincible in every battle, is enough to make him invincible.

"You can be confident, I'm just giving you a heads-up."

Xuanjizi knew that this topic was not going to continue, so he changed the subject:

"When the Buddhist Domain and the Underworld Palace met just now, they only had a brief exchange and did not clash. It is possible that they have reached some kind of agreement. Otherwise, even if the treasure land of the Great Yan Dynasty is not occupied, the Buddhist Domain would not dare to reside in the Primordial Dao Domain."

"Furthermore, if we delve deeper, that piece of land belonging to the Great Yan Dynasty belongs to the Underworld Palace. The gambling match is just my guess. They may have other methods. You should tell the people stationed there to be careful."

Stephen Chow's expression softened, and he nodded.

"I'll tell them to be careful, but will the Xuantian Dao Sect just stand by and do nothing?"

Xuanjizi gave Zhou Xingdou a deep look:

"As long as you don't compromise, no one in the Xuantian Dao Sect can force you."

At this moment, Xuanjizi also revealed his sharp edge, and said in a deep voice:

"The Buddhist Realm, the Underworld Palace... at worst, we can just start an Immortal War!"

"Our Xuantian Dao Sect has no fear!"
