Chapter 483: Chapter 183: Ye Ling Shuang’s Challenge! Sumeru Buddha Child! _2

Following that, the void shivered for a moment, and a monk emerged from it.

The monk held an old copper bowl in his hand, a tin stick, and a worn-out cloth cassock draped across his shoulders. He looked no different from the average monk in the world.

But it was such a mundane-looking monk that drew the attention of everyone present.

Sumeru, the child of the Buddha from the previous generation in the Beings of Great Light and the body of a Buddha of the Seventh Realm!

"Sumeru, I didn’t expect you to come too! Are you planning to meddle in our battle?"

However, Sumeru’s appearance did not stop the ongoing fight between Jian Jiuge and his comrade—both turned their heads towards Sumeru with indifferent expressions.

But the reality was hidden beneath their calm demeanour; their eyes were filled with coldness!

Without a doubt, should Sumeru utter even half a negative word at this moment, both of them would instantly direct their weapons towards him, without any exception!

"Namaste Amitabha."

Upon hearing the words of two men, Sumeru joined his hands and recited a Buddhist mantra again. Then, he calmly said:

"As a monk, I have no intention to interrupt the mission the two benefactors have undertaken. And I admit, I have no right to stop your contest."

"What I want to say is that this place is ultimately not our territory, nor is it the right occasion to start a conflict."

"If the two benefactors wish to have a fight, they should ideally do so far away from here. A confrontation here might cause the displeasure of the owner of this place."

"Who the owner is, I needn’t elaborate. None of us want to offend them. So please, benefactors, show mercy. Would you honor me by doing so?"

Sumeru’s words were calm, but the level of significance they carried was undeniable.

The implicit suggestion was clear: You can fight, but not here!

You might not fear the wrath of the owner, but we do!

Isn’t it right for all of us to be at peace?

Upon hearing Sumeru’s words, Jian Jiuge and his companion immediately realized the situation.

They were here today for the Nine Mahasattva Positions, not for fights. And just as Sumeru had warned, if they offended the owner of the place and upset them, they might not easily get off the hook.

"Hmph! Jian Jiuge, let’s end it here for today. Once this is over, I will definitely challenge you again!" Immediately, Qin Juntian turned his gaze towards Jian Jiuge and replied with a cold grunt.

He was not willing to continue the fight!

"Hmph, then I shall look forward to it!" Jian Jiuge was similarly unafraid and accepted the challenge!

"Namaste Amitabha, I thank both benefactors on behalf of all sentient beings."

On one side, seeing Jian Jiuge and others stop the fight, Sumeru joined his hands at his chest and murmured another Buddhist mantra.

His eyes were full of devotion, his heart free from all desires and attachments.

"Other peaks might challenge the sky, but we hold a heart that knows no defeat!"

Besides the ten major sects, disciples from other powers with substantial foundations had also arrived.

Everyone knew that the ten major sects were powerful, but when it came to vie for the Nine Mahasattva Positions, no sect wanted to back down!

"Hehe, Sumeru, it’s not easy waiting for your appearance!"

"If you hadn’t shown up this time, I would have thought you had died in the mortal world."

"Once this is over, shall we settle the dispute between us?"

At this moment, the silent Ye Ling Shuang spoke. He cast his gaze towards Sumeru, his eyes filled with playfulness and a strong desire for battle.

Not long after the initial fusion of the three thousand realms, a battle had erupted between Lingxiao Sect and The Beings of Great Light.

As a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, Ye Ling Shuang naturally became the linchpin for the front lines. The place he was assigned to subdue was precisely where Sumeru was stationed—the Heavenly Horse Temple.

Unfortunately, up until now, nearly two to three years since the battle between the two sects began, Sumeru, the main figure, had not appeared, leaving Ye Ling Shuang without an opponent for all these years.

Now that he saw Sumeru appearing here, he naturally couldn’t hide his intent for battle anymore.

In response to Ye Ling Shuang, Sumeru calmly said, "Benefactor, the Bodhi has no tree, the mirror has no stand. Cicadas do no harm to the birds, and the birds have an intention to harm the cicadas. What is the need for constant strife, then?"

"However, if the benefactor wishes to fight, I shall stand up to him."

"Yet, I would have to ask the benefactor to show mercy when the time comes."

Clearly, Sumeru carried no fear in his heart towards Ye Ling Shuang’s declaration of war. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He had already mastered the Great Freedom of Buddhism, and now he rigorously practiced in the Red Dust, attaining the Great Suffering Dharma. His Buddha fruit was already perfectly transparent.

Among his peers in this world, he had never feared anyone.

Prodigal disciples? He feared none, prepared to face each one in battle!

"Great! I only hope you can remain this calm when the time comes!"

Ye Ling Shuang gave a cold snort. From the moment warfare broke out between the Lingxiao Sect and the Buddha of the Sun Sect, it was certain a battle would come between him and the disciples of the Sumeru Buddha.

And this battle would not only decide victory or defeat, but also a matter of life and death!

At that time, it would depend on who had more extraordinary means!

After a round of confrontation, several people continued to wait at the scene. After all, although they had already arrived, most people at the scene had not.

About an hour later, disciples from other sects started to arrive one after another.

The Seven Realm Sects, the Six Realm Sects, the Five Realm Sects!

The different sects entered the venue in sequence.

"Alright, most of the people are here now, let’s go."

Seeing that the members from various sects had roughly arrived, Qin Juntian and others immediately spoke.

However, just as they were about to step forward, a lofty voice rang from outside the venue.

Only to hear the voice loudly shouting:

"Once you enter Tianshui, there is no turning back, my master is an immortal among humans!"

This voice was not loud, but resonant in every part of the venue. Immediately, everyone’s attention was drawn there.

"What?"

Then, upon seeing who they were, everyone was slightly taken aback.

No other.

It was Lin Qingxue and company from the Tianshui Sect. Originally, there was no such slogan, but seeing all the sects had their own catchy phrases, Lin Qingxue and the others felt that they should also have one for their sect.

After all, no matter what, they were representing their master’s reputation this time. Being disciples of the Supreme Saint, if they didn’t even have a single name, they would be looked down upon.

"This Tianshui Sect really has character!"

From within the crowd, nobody knew who uttered these words. There was a hint of disdain in the voice, mixed with puzzlement and distance out of respect!

The disdain was for the people from the Tianshui Sect attending this time around, simply because their cultivation base was too low.

In such a scene where each sect had at least one Dao Lord, the highest among the Tianshui Sect delegates was a Five Realm Elder.

A fifth level cultivation base was not to belittle them. In ordinary places, it would admittedly be high, but here at the Dao Assembly, it was not worth mentioning!

However, it was precisely their low cultivation level that made everyone respect them from a distance.

After all, being the only divine hidden daring to lead the team into this Human Path Conference, other than the Tianshui Sect, who else could have such confidence!

But what could they do, there was nothing for it!

Do you not see, at this very moment inside Chen Chang’an’s inner world, the true spirits of the Four Sages were still being suppressed by infinite power!

A person of such ruthlessness, having a bit of privilege was nothing unusual, right?

Ding! Ding!

Soon, at the scene of the Dao Assembly, the sound of the bell rang. This was a sign that the Dao Assembly had begun.

Stride! Stride! Stride!

Following the sound of the bell, rows of forty to fifty people walked out, these were lower-ranked Yin officers from Rebirth Hall, standing independently!

Each of them had their Dharma aspects manifested, indeed each a Dharma aspect expert!

"We welcome the Hall Master!"

And then, after they walked out, the two rows of Yin officers suddenly kneeled halfway on the ground, shouting towards the sky:

"The auspicious time has come, we welcome the Hall Master!"

The Hall Master they were referring to was naturally not the Hall Master of the Emperor Song Hall, but the Hall Master of the Earth Bodhisattva Hall!
