The appearance of the Victorious Fighting Buddha was not entirely unexpected, after all, the Fighting Buddha lineage and the Divine Silkworm Ridge are both located here.
His nephew, the Holy Prince, and his fiancée, the Divine Silkworm Princess, were also here, fighting against the Great Sage of Kunzhou and the Heavenly Prince.
Although the Heavenly Emperor's son possesses extraordinary bloodline and noble status, his strength is not yet considered formidable. However, the Great Sage of Kunzhou is quite different.
Currently, within the Divine Silkworm Ridge and the Fighting lineage, without the Victorious Fighting Buddha, it is indeed impossible to find a second figure who can rival the Great Sage of Kunzhou.
That Cao Ya Great Sage is a Great Sage of the human race, neither a Fighting Saint Ape, nor a Divine Silkworm, Golden Silkworm, Silver Silkworm, or Jade Silkworm.
The Great Sages of Kunzhou, Ganlun, and Golden, as well as the Great Sages of the Reincarnation Lineage, the Great Sages of the Beast God Lineage, the Great Sage of the Primordial Lake, the Great Sage of the White Tiger Royal Family, and the Great Sages of Yanqi and Xuehuang Mountain who had left the battlefield, were all scrutinizing the Victorious Fighting Buddha and sizing up this younger brother of the ancient emperor.
"Victorious Fighting Buddha, you've grown old," said the Great Sage Ganlun, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Is it useful to be born early and seize the initiative? You are not a Great Sage, not a Quasi-Emperor, and have not yet attained enlightenment. Instead, you have wasted your lifespan and cut off more than half of your chance to attain enlightenment.
In the twilight years when one's blood and energy are waning, no one can attain the Dao and become an emperor.
"Time is like a knife, each cut hastens old age. Even ancient emperors and great emperors must grow old and die in the long river of time. I am but a Great Sage, not yet an immortal. How can I avoid the ravages of time?" The Victorious Fighting Buddha said calmly, not worried about the depletion of his lifespan, but composed and at ease.
"Ha, how many emperors and sovereigns throughout history have ever become immortals? You want to become an immortal? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?" the Golden Sage mocked.
"It all depends on human effort. Whether you succeed or not, you'll see the results after you've put in the effort," said the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
"Nonsense." The Great Sage of the Samsara lineage scoffed.
The Victorious Fighting Buddha shook his head, too lazy to talk to these Great Sages, and turned to look at the others.
He nodded to Cao Ya, Jiang Taixu, Elder Wei Yi, the Old Immortal, the Old Master of Qishi Mansion, and the Sage Xuan Turtle, and then his gaze swept across the crowd, where he happened to see the sick old man being supported by his disciple.
Upon seeing this person, even the composed Buddha couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment, before calmly shifting his gaze away.
It's obvious that the Victorious Fighting Buddha definitely recognizes Gai Jiuyou.
After all, the Victorious Fighting Buddha has been around for two thousand years, and there are very few cultivators present who have lived for more than two thousand years; only a handful of powerful cultivators at the Sendai level.
Many of the Sendai monks were not yet two thousand years old.
When Gai Jiuyou appeared here, the Victorious Fighting Buddha understood that the fate of the human race was no longer something for anyone else to worry about.
Nine thousand years ago, Gai Jiuyou was an invincible figure, capable of attaining enlightenment, and extremely powerful.
Most of the ancient creatures around were very excited after seeing the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Because the vast majority of them have been sealed away since the end of the Primordial Era. That era was the time when the Fighting Saint Emperor ruled the universe. The Fighting Saint King was quite like his elder brother, sweeping across the world with just an iron rod.
Although the Victorious Fighting Buddha is now wielding a demon-subduing pestle instead of an immortal iron rod.
The Immortal Iron Rod is in the hands of the Holy Prince.
Even the heads of the various royal families and the imperial clans were quite shocked. This was the first time they had seen the Fighting Saint King in this world since the passing of the ancient times.
A very small number of prodigies, such as the descendants of ancient emperors, were of extremely high seniority and many were sealed away in a certain era of the Primordial Era. However, the vast majority of Primordial beings sealed themselves away at the end of the Primordial Era and spent their long, unknowing years in the Divine Source, passing through the Desolate Ancient Era and the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, until they reached this Golden Age.
Therefore, these clan leaders had all seen and met the Fighting Saint King at the end of the ancient era.
Only the descendants of the ancient emperors, such as Huo Qizi, Huo Lin'er, the Golden Princess, Yuan Gu, the Heavenly Emperor's Son, and Huang Xudao, had never seen the Fighting Saint King before. This was the first time they had seen the legendary old monkey.
After all, the ancient emperors lived during the time when the emperors were still alive and their power was immense.
Examples include the Ancient Emperor Qilin, the Ancient Emperor Golden, the Undying Emperor, and the Blood Phoenix.
"The Victorious Fighting King, the Victorious Fighting Buddha... what exactly is the Buddhist sect founded by the Amitabha Buddha Emperor? How could it make even the younger brother of an ancient emperor willingly join it?"
"I've heard that the power of thought in the Western Desert Buddhism is strange and powerful. The entire vast Western Desert region is very special, quite different from the other four regions on this ancient star."
“Buddha…in ancient times, I had never heard of him.”
"Because it was created by a great emperor of later generations."
When the ancient princes Huo Lin'er, Huo Qizi, Huang Xudao, Yuan Gu, the Heavenly Prince, and the Golden Princess talked about Buddhism, they all expressed their fear of it.
Because the lineage of that Amitabha Buddha Emperor is truly bizarre.
The great sages and saints of the tribe had also warned them that they should never rashly set foot in the Western Desert unless absolutely necessary.
As the sons and daughters of the ancient emperor, they had lived with the invincible ancient emperor of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so they paid more attention to Buddhism than to the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
Even the most powerful figures have been pulled by the beard and climbed on the head, so how could they possibly be moved by a mere Immortal Six Great Sage?
Of course, given their strength, none of them had yet achieved sainthood, so they should respect a Great Saint.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are always respected.
Bloodline status can be useful at times, but overall, it still can't compare to power, which is the only real and tangible thing.
They discussed Buddhism, but didn't talk much about the Victorious Fighting Buddha. However, all the other ancient beings were shaken by the Victorious Fighting Buddha.
"The Great Sage Ganlun is right. The Fighting Saint King, once a Saint King, was full of vigor and ambition, looking down on the world and sweeping across the land with his blood. But now he has indeed grown old, with a touch of vicissitudes, and the heavy marks of time are etched between his eyes and brows."
"Time flies, years pass quickly, he became the Victorious Buddha, dominating the Western Desert, but he also grew old."
Time is like a knife, each cut aging us!
"However, the spirit of the Holy King has never changed! Whether as the Victorious Buddha or the Holy King, he was still a hero who fought across the eight wastelands, needing no reliance on his brother's legacy, and still commanding the respect of all races!!!"
Many ancient beings were excited. In the late Primordial Era, the Fighting Saint King was an absolute legend, a figure revered by many ancient races.
On the contrary, the Fighting Saint Emperor is supreme and unparalleled in the universe, with no one daring to criticize him and no one daring to look up to him.
Yes, those kinds of yakuza figures are so powerful that you wouldn't even dare to look at them from afar; you can't even see their backs.
This old monkey has quite a lot of prestige... and it's not just because of the Fighting Saint Emperor...
Cao Ya's heart stirred. If the Victorious Fighting Buddha were to advance further and reach the Quasi-Emperor realm, he feared that many of the ancient clans, whether those that remained neutral or favored the Eight Divine Generals, the Primordial Lake, the Myriad Dragon Nest, the Golden Cave, the Reincarnation Lineage, the Beast God Lineage, or the White Tiger Lineage, would all turn to the Fighting Buddha Lineage.
Reaching the level of "Emperor" or "King" is already very close to attaining enlightenment.
It should be noted that even the most outstanding talents and descendants of ancient emperors are not all capable of breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm.
However, Cao Ya didn't care much, because he knew that the Holy Prince's future was no less promising than that of the Victorious Fighting Buddha; he was also a formidable figure.
Moreover, on the human side, there's Ye Fan, and many other prodigies whose futures are also very promising. No matter how many ancient races are charging into battle, or how many ancient sages, ancient ancestral kings, and ancient emperors are targeting and suppressing them, Cao Ya firmly believes that the future of this universe will ultimately belong to the human race!
Besides, he himself is not bad either.
