“Daoist Taiping.”
Just as the crowd was discussing, the Thousand Machines City Lord who transmitted the voice immediately added another sentence:
“The conditions that Thousand Machines City can offer to you, Taiping Daoist, will definitely not be as good as those of the three Great Emperors. However, our Thousand Machines City will definitely unite with several other cities and do our best to compensate you, Taiping Daoist!”
However, even with this addition, the numerous cultivator onlookers still turned up their noses.
“These barbarians in the Mysterious Wilderness, not to mention that most of the world is now occupied by the Nine Abysses, even in their heyday, they might not be able to come up with anything good.”
“If the initial promises of the Duanyue Great Emperor of my Jueding Tian just now can be regarded as empty words, then this Thousand Machines City Lord should be regarded as daydreaming, right?”
Of course, there were also quite a few cultivators from the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven who spoke out to refute.
They believed that, judging from the current battle situation between the Nine Abysses and the Supreme Purity, this Buddha statue placed in the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven was far more suitable than in the other worlds.
The reason was that this could greatly restrain the Nine Abysses.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, they were met with a large number of refutation voices.
A cultivator from the True Martial Heaven even shouted in the spiritual mirror:
“Today, you all have seen that Taiping almost lost his life several times in order to invite this Buddhist inheritance.”
“You Mysterious Wilderness Heaven, just want him to give it up just because of the word ‘righteousness’. It’s simply shameless!”
As soon as these words came out, immediately many True Martial Heaven cultivators stood up to refute.
After the battle in the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting, the True Martial Heaven cultivators had long regarded Xu Taiping as an existence like a “totem” belief, and his prestige was even greater than that of the Nine Mansions.
However, most of the scolded Mysterious Wilderness Heaven cultivators did not refute, and even less did they curse back.
Some even shouted apologies in the spirit mirror.
The reason was nothing else. It was really that Mysterious Wilderness Heaven owed Xu Taiping a great favor.
Just as the spirit mirror was filled with the sound of scolding and shouting at the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven cultivators, the voice of the master of the Mysterious Wilderness Thousand Opportunities Mansion, full of apologies, suddenly came out from the Moon Shadow Stone above the head
“Daoist Taiping, it was the old man who was abrupt just now, but for the sake of the thousands of common people in Mysterious Wilderness who are in deep water and hot fire, the old man had to say those words just now.”
“But don’t worry, no matter what choice you make in the end, our Mysterious Wilderness Heaven will never forget the great kindness that you, Daoist Taiping, struck the Heavenly Bell for our Mysterious Wilderness back then!”
At the end, he added another sentence and said:
“Today’s statement absolutely has no intention of coercing Daoist Taiping. If there is half a word of falsehood, the old man will not die a good death!
The tone of the master of the Thousand Opportunities Mansion’s previous sentence was full of guilt, and the latter sentence was actually sincere and heroic.
For a while, in the voice of the Thousand-Machine City Lord’s shout the verbal attacks and condemnations against Mysterious Desolation Heaven suddenly decreased by more than half.
“Alas…”
At this time, Xiahou You of Yuheng Mountain suddenly sighed and said:
“If possible, I also hope that this Buddha statue can be sent to Mysterious Desolation Heaven.”
Their Xiahou Clan of Yuheng Mountain, this line, was originally inherited from the Xiahou Divine General under Mysterious Desolation the Great. They have a deep affection for their hometown, Mysterious Desolation Heaven.
Xiahou Qingyuan, on the other hand, shook his head helplessly and said:
“It’s useless. Mysterious Desolation Heaven has been weak for a long time, and the forces of the Nine Abysses are deeply rooted. It simply cannot be reversed by just one Buddha statue and one inheritance of the Buddha’s fate.”
The Stone Lake Celestial Monarch beside him, however, fell into deep thought at this time, as if thinking about a certain difficult problem. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his fingers gently tapped on the table.
And just at this moment, Xu Taiping, who had originally been sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform looking up at the sky, suddenly stood up slowly.
Then, I saw him cupping his hands towards the direction where the voice of the Thousand-Machine City Lord of Mysterious Desolation Heaven came from and said:
“Old City Lord, you don’t have to worry. Taiping naturally knows that you are telling the truth.”
After hearing Xu Taiping’s voice and sensing from his voice that his injury had healed, the discussions in the spiritual mirror and the teahouse suddenly became lively again.
Everyone knew that Xu Taiping was about to make a choice.
Since even ordinary observing cultivators could see this, how could the several great emperors not see it?
Soon, the voice of the Azure Emperor of Youyun Heaven could be heard transmitting to the heaven and earth where Xu Taiping was located:
Taiping little friend, the conditions offered by my Youyun Heaven are indeed not as good as those of the other heavens and earths, but they are the most practical and there will be no falsehood at all.
Xu Taiping, who was standing on the lotus platform, cupped his hands in the direction where the Azure Emperor’s voice came from and then said loudly:
Thank you, Azure Emperor, for your love, but the reason I borrowed this inheritance of Buddhist affinity is not for Youyun Heaven.
After hearing this, the observing cultivators of Youyun Heaven, including the little monk Yelai, all had disappointed expressions on their faces.
The little monk Yelai was even more extremely confused and said:
Uncle Taiping rejected the Azure Emperor. Could it be that he took a fancy to the words of the Broken Peak Emperor of Jue Ming Heaven that he would use the power of one side of the heaven and earth to help him ascend?
But immediately he shook his head again and said:
Anyway, as long as it is Uncle Taiping’s decision, my Pilu Zen Temple will fully support it.
In their opinion, no matter where Xu Taiping placed this Buddha statue, the fact that there was now a complete inheritance of Buddhist affinity in the Upper Clear Realm was an indisputable fact.
Just because of this matter, the Buddhist monks in the Upper Clear Realm had to be grateful to him.
And when the Great Emperor Duan Yue of Jue Ming Tian heard that Xu Taiping rejected the Great Emperor Cang Ai of You Yun Tian, he immediately spoke with a tone full of joy:
Daoist Taiping, as long as you speak, I will immediately issue an imperial edict and arrange for my subordinates to meet you at the exit of the wild!
However, before Xu Taiping could speak, he heard the voice of the Great Emperor Zong Yun of Cheng Long Tian ring out again:
Xu Taiping, since the condition that Duan Yue offered you is to use the power of one side of the world to help you ascend.
Then I, Zong Yun of Cheng Long Tian, will also proclaim to the world in the name of the Great Emperor. Today, as long as you are willing to place this Buddha statue in Cheng Long Tian, my Cheng Long Tian will also use the power of one side of the world to help you ascend!
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy and bustling Yipin Pavilion was first silence and then burst out with a deafening exclamation.
At the table on Yuheng Mountain, Xiahou Qingyuan looked at the virtual shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone above his head and said in disbelief:
Is Great Emperor Zong Yun crazy?
As the Great Emperor in charge of the most powerful side of the world in the entire Shangqing Realm, Zong Yun’s combat power is also the strongest among the five sides of the world.
His willingness to use the power of one side of the world to help Xu Taiping ascend, this promise is many times heavier than the promise of Duan Yue, this new Great Emperor.
After hearing what Emperor Zongyun said, Emperor Duanyue of the Jueding Sky helplessly transmitted his voice again and said:
“Emperor Zongyun, since you are determined to obtain this Buddha statue, then I, Duanyue, have nothing more to say.”
Emperor Duanyue of the Jueding Sky withdrew from this competition.
After seeing that Emperor Duanyue of the Jueding Sky took the initiative to withdraw, Emperor Zongyun of the Chenglong Sky immediately laughed loudly, and then transmitted his voice to Xu Taiping again and said:
“Xu Taiping, after leaving the wilderness, I will personally greet you and the others at the exit!”
After hearing this, the numerous observing cultivators felt that this intense inheritance of Buddhist affinity was almost coming to an end.
Pairs of eyes then looked at Xu Taiping once again.
Although everyone felt that the ownership of this inheritance of Buddhist affinity had no suspense, they still wanted to hear Xu Taiping make a decision.
Then, it was seen that Xu Taiping, who was standing on the lotus platform, cupped his hands towards the direction where the voice of Emperor Zongyun came from, and then said loudly with an unruffled expression:
“Emperor Zongyun, I’m sorry.”
“Today, this inheritance of Buddhist affinity, I’m not seeking it for the Youyun Sky, nor for the Jueding Sky, nor for the Chenglong Sky.”
As soon as these words came out, the numerous observing cultivators who originally thought that this matter was already clear were all stunned.
Subsequently, they heard Emperor Zongyun ask coldly and dissatisfiedly:
“Xu Taiping, don’t you still want to bargain with the old man?”
“Or do you want to bring this Buddhist inheritance back to your hometown, True Martial Heaven?”
And Xu Taiping looked in the direction where the voice of the Thousand Chance City Lord of Mysterious Desolation Heaven had just come from, and replied very sincerely:
“Your Majesty Zongyun, you have misunderstood.”
“I am not bargaining, nor do I want to bring this Buddhist inheritance back to True Martial Heaven. This Buddhist inheritance has always been sought for Mysterious Desolation Heaven.”
