"Buzz".

The relic slowly flew away from Dini's palm and soared into the sky.

In that instant, the previously chaotic city of Taiyuan became quiet.

"Second brother, what is that?" the girl asked curiously.

“I don’t know either. It might have been caused by Master Di Ni. Stop looking, Xiu Ning. Let’s go in now.” After Li Shimin finished speaking, he pulled Li Xiu Ning and squeezed out of the crowd.

"Wait for me." Li Jiancheng and the others also came to their senses and quickly followed.

At this moment, the relic flew higher and higher, and if it weren't for the Buddha's light still emanating from it, people wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

Gradually, the relic stopped.

"Whoosh."

A golden beam of light shot straight up from the relic, and at the end of the beam, a golden halo gradually appeared, like the holy light above the head of a god or Buddha.

Immediately afterwards, an even louder Buddhist chant emanated from the halo, and the nun and Pu Xuan below immediately knelt down.

"Goodness, they really called for reinforcements," Li Feiyu thought to himself.

"Knock knock knock..."

Several chimes rang out from within the aperture.

Li Shimin and the others stood dumbfounded at the edge of the large pit left by the Li family mansion. After hearing the bell, they couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this..."

A series of chanting sounds descended from the sky, and everyone's heart suddenly became peaceful. At this moment, people noticed many figures gradually appearing in the sky, and a powerful pressure came from the air. All the people in the city knelt down on the ground.

"It's Buddha's miracle! Buddha's miracle!"

"May Buddha protect us..." People kowtowed desperately.

Dini smiled, and she even glanced at Li Feiyu, nodding in satisfaction when she saw his blank expression.

Where is Dini?

Then a gentle voice came from the air, as if speaking right in everyone's ear.

"Disciple is here," Di Ni hurriedly replied. She then leaped into the sky, with Pu Xuan following closely behind.

A beam of Buddha light shone in the air, gradually revealing a figure. This person was tall and dignified, with ears that reached his shoulders, giving him a distinctly Buddha-like appearance.

"Greetings, Great Venerable One," said Dini as he flew below and bowed.

"Great Venerable? So he's at the Mahayana level." Li Feiyu thought to himself. Di Ni once said that the title of a Mahayana level expert in Buddhism is Venerable, and the only one at the Tribulation Transcending stage is the sect leader of the Buddhist sect. The Great Venerable is equivalent to the Grand Elder.

The Venerable One nodded, his eyes flashing like lightning as he looked down. He seemed slightly surprised when his gaze swept over Li Feiyu.

“This disciple is incompetent and no match for that evil Taoist. I can only ask the Great Venerable and my fellow disciples to descend to the mortal realm,” Di Ni said.

“I am aware of the matter,” the Great Venerable One nodded and said.

"Young friend below, would you mind coming up for a chat?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feiyu immediately flew up into the sky on his sword.

"Junior Li Feiyu pays respects to the Venerable One."

"A late-stage Golden Core cultivator under forty years old, young man, which sect are you a disciple of?"

"Replying to Your Excellency, I am a disciple of the Seven Mysteries Sect."

"The Seven Mysteries Sect?" The Venerable One was stunned; he had never heard of it before.

“Great Venerable One, this Seven Mysteries Sect is a hidden sect,” Di Ni hurriedly said.

The Great Venerable One's eyes narrowed, as if he wanted to see right through Li Feiyu.

"I know all four hidden sects of the Great Luo Realm, but I have never heard of the Seven Mysteries Sect."

"What?" Dini was stunned.

“Brother Li, you…” Dini quickly looked at Li Feiyu.

"I never said I was from the Hidden Sect," Li Feiyu replied, spreading his hands with an innocent expression.

Dini was speechless for a moment, realizing that he had been deluding himself.

“The Great Luo Realm is vast, and there may be sects here that I am not yet aware of,” the Great Venerable continued.

Then they stopped dwelling on the topic.

"People from the upper realm should not interfere in the mortal world, but our Buddha is merciful and cannot bear to see mortals suffer. Moreover, the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and some cultivators have arbitrarily altered the will of heaven. That is why the sect leader sent you down to the mortal realm."

"Yes, it is I who have failed the sect leader's expectations." Dini lowered her head.

"Alright, let's go. Take us to meet that powerful figure. We cannot linger in the lower realm." The Great Venerable sighed.

“Yes, this person is in the capital,” Dini replied hastily.

After saying that, he flew off, and the others followed behind him.

"Well, I'm not going," Li Feiyu shouted from behind.

However, the Buddhist monks had no time to pay him any attention at that moment.

"Ah, Buddha has flown away."

Where are they going?

Suddenly, the people felt the pressure on their bodies disappear. When they looked up, the sky had returned to calm, and the gods and Buddhas that had filled the sky were nowhere to be seen.

Li Feiyu watched the Buddhist monks disappear into the distance, smiled coldly, and then turned into a wisp of white smoke and vanished.

Li Daoyi slowly opened his eyes.

"System, open the store."

"receive."

The system panel appeared instantly, and Li Daoyi immediately clicked on the item section of the shop.

"I'll give you a big one," Li Daoyi sneered.

"Buddha Wutian Projection Summoning Talisman, White-Clad Wutian, one ten-thousandth of his strength (late-stage Golden Immortal realm), consumes 500,000 points, lasts for one hour."

"Tsk tsk, is it that amazing? Even a one in ten thousand chance is this powerful." Li Daoyi said, looking at the summoning talisman.

Wutian Buddha, the ultimate boss in the sequel to Journey to the West, was originally the Bodhisattva Kinnara, a great protector of Buddha Upala, holding an extremely high position in the Buddhist realm. However, during his mortal tribulation, his faith in Buddhism wavered, leading him to betray Buddhism and enter the demon realm to cultivate into the god of demons, absorbing the Black Lotus of Annihilation. His evil intentions swelled, and during his cultivation, he split into two incarnations: Black Lotus Wutian and White-Clothed Wutian. When combined, their power rivaled that of Buddha Tathagata, and even surpassed his.

"Change it, this one's more high-class." Li Daoyi didn't hesitate and clicked to redeem.

However, at that moment, bursts of Buddhist light suddenly appeared in the sky above the capital, accompanied by the chanting of scriptures, and the Great Venerable One and others descended.

Yang Guang and his entourage rushed out of the palace hall, and when they saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, they were all extremely shocked.

"What...what is this?"

“It’s Buddhism,” Dongfang Bubai said coldly.

"Amitabha…"

A Buddhist chant was heard.

Dini and several others slowly descended, while the Great Venerable One sat alone on a lotus throne in the air.

"Is that Buddha?" Yang Guang asked tremblingly. There was no way around it; the Great Venerable One's appearance was indeed too intimidating, bearing a resemblance to the Tathagata.

"How could that be? They're coming down. Be careful," Dongfang Bubai quickly warned.

Song Que and Shi Zhixuan quickly came to Yang Guang's side and protected him.

"So you are Yang Guang?" Di Ni, leading a dozen or so monks, stopped in the air and said coldly.

"Indeed, what guidance does the master have?" Yang Guang said, forcing himself to speak.

"Hmph, you dare to collude with evil Taoists to insult my Buddhist sect, you are truly lawless!" the nun said angrily.

"I...I..." Yang Guang was speechless for a moment, while praying in his heart that Li Daoyi would come quickly.

"Tsk tsk, who's so arrogant? It's you again, you stinky nun." A figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"An immortal!" Yang Guang's face lit up with joy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you Li Daoyi?" Dini asked.

“It is indeed your grandfather, me.”

"What? Reinforcements have arrived? Let me see. Wow, quite a force to be reckoned with, eighteen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators."

"Hey, is that Mahayana stage cultivator up there cosplaying? He looks so much like Buddha!" ​​Li Daoyi asked, feigning surprise.

"..."

Everyone was stunned. They understood the first few sentences, but they were completely baffled by the last few.

Di Ni was somewhat shocked at this moment, carefully examining Li Daoyi, who could see through the strength of the Buddhist group at a glance.

At the same time, the Great Venerable One was also observing Li Daoyi, but the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"It's strange that I can't see through this person."

Immediately afterwards, his lotus platform slowly descended and came to the side of Dini and the others.

“Great Venerable One, this person is the evil Taoist Li Daoyi,” Di Ni said, pressing her palms together.

"Why are you opposing Buddhism?" the Venerable One asked.

“That’s strange. Didn’t you provoke me first?” Li Daoyi said.

“You…” Dini’s expression changed instantly.

"It seems to be a misunderstanding. In that case, how about we both take a step back?" the Great Venerable said with a smile.

"What? No, Your Excellency!" Dini exclaimed in shock.

"Oh? How do you want to withdraw?" Li Daoyi asked with a smile.

"I can overlook what you did to Buddhism before, but only if you leave the mortal world with your people and do not interfere in the affairs here. Then Buddhism will be willing to turn enemies into friends with you," the Venerable One said slowly.

He couldn't see through Li Daoyi, so he wanted to take this opportunity to test him. If Li Daoyi agreed to make concessions, it would mean that Li Daoyi didn't have any trump cards up his sleeve.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Li Daoyi suddenly burst into laughter, then turned to look at Yang Guang and the others.

"See this? This is Buddhism. They're all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong."

"Bold."

"shut up."

The monks immediately retorted angrily.

The Great Venerable's expression also darkened.

"Amitabha." The Venerable One clasped his hands together, looking compassionate towards the heavenly beings.

"Fine, fine, since that's how it is, I'll take you down first."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and was about to grab Li Daoyi.

"Hmm?" The Great Venerable One suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Many golden lotus phantoms slowly appeared in the sky, covering the entire area.

The monks looked up at the sky in confusion.

Then, streaks of purple light appeared in the sky, accompanied by countless lotus phantoms. Immediately afterward, a dazzling white light appeared, causing people to squint.

"What?" The Great Venerable's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The white light gradually disappeared, and a white-robed monk appeared in the air with a halo above his head. He was incredibly handsome, with a compassionate expression on his face, and he smiled at everyone with his hands clasped together.

"Amitabha, fellow practitioner, am I not late?"

"Haha, it's not too late, it's not too late," Li Daoyi laughed.

“Buddha…Buddha…Buddha…” the Great Venerable One stammered.
