　　“What, what is he talking about？”
　　“He actually refused the conditions offered by Emperor Zongyun of Riding Dragon Heaven？ And also said that this Buddhist inheritance has always been sought for Mysterious Desolation Heaven？”
　　“Does this Xu Taiping really know what he is talking about？”
　　Whether it was the cultivators in the teahouse or those in front of the spirit mirror watching the battle, after hearing that Xu Taiping not only rejected the generous conditions offered by Emperor Zongyun of Riding Dragon Heaven, but also insisted on giving this Buddhist inheritance that was almost obtained with his life to Mysterious Desolation Heaven, they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.”
　　Some cultivators even thought they had heard wrong and kept shouting in the spirit mirror to confirm whether they had heard correctly just now.”
Even the old city lord of Thousand Chance City thought he had misheard and once again used the power of the incomplete imperial seal in his hand to transmit a message to Xu Taiping in the wild through that moon shadow stone again, saying:
　　“Daoist Taiping, old man, old man didn’t mishear, did he？”
　　When saying this, the old city lord, who had experienced many battles, his voice was actually a little trembling.
At the same time, only heard that also spoke again:
　　“Xu Taiping, I know what you want to do, but still want to advise you to think clearly. After all, this is your closest chance to ascend and prove the Tao.”
Xu Taiping cupped his hands towards the direction where the voice of the Dragon came and said:
“Thank you, Emperor Chenglong.”
　　Xu Taiping put down his hand, and his gaze once again looked towards the direction where the voice of the old city lord of Thousand Chance City came, and said with a smile：
“Old city lord, you didn’t hear. This Buddhist fate inheritance of mine was originally sought for Xuanhuangtian.”
　　The old city lord of Thousand Chance City still couldn’t believe it and said：
“Daoist Taiping, our Xuanhuang Tian can…” can’t offer such rich conditions as those great emperors. Do you really not consider it carefully again?
He asked Xu Taiping for that Buddha statue, more just to seek peace of mind. After all, for their Xuanhuangtian if there is this Buddha statue, it will be able to save millions of common people from water and fire.
　　He had never expected that Xu Taiping would really give this Buddha statue to Xuanhuang Heaven.
　　After all, in his opinion, the conditions offered by those three Great Emperors, whether in the Upper Qing Upper Realm or the Lower Realm, no one could not be tempted.
　　Xu Taiping then looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, and only then did he raise his head and look again in the direction where the voice of the old city lord of Thousand Chance City came from, and said：
“Old city lord, don’t worry. This time I give this Buddha statue to Xuanhuang Heaven only to help Xuanhuang resist Jiuyuan and save more innocent common people from the sea of suffering.
　　“Other than that, I have no other requests.”
　　This sentence was like the final word, shattering all kinds of speculations in the hearts of the many watching cultivators.
　　The three people on Yuheng Mountain all fell silent at the same time.
　　After a while, in the midst of the noisy discussions in the teahouse, Xiahou Qingyuan, who had originally been quite critical of Xu Taiping, suddenly stood up and bowed expressionlessly to Xu Taiping in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone and said：
　　“Xu Taiping, this kindness you have shown to Xuanhuang Heaven, I, Xiahou Qingyuan, have taken note of.”
　　Xiahou You, on the other hand, looked ashamed and said：
　　“Back then at the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the kindness that Xuanhuang Heaven owed hadn’t been fully repaid, and now this great kindness has been incurred again. I don’t know how Xuanhuang Heaven should repay it.”
　　And Shi Hu Tianjun, who had been in a daze beside them, suddenly seemed to remember something. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said：
　　“I understand！”
　　Xiahou You and Xiahou Qingyuan both looked at Shi Hu Tianjun in surprise.
　　Shi Hu Tianjun, as if he didn’t see the gazes of the two, stared at Xu Taiping’s figure in the Moon Shadow Stone without blinking, and then murmured with a slightly trembling voice：
　　“This is really a good move！”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan asked in confusion：
　　“Third Uncle, what do you mean by this？”
　　Shi Hu Tianjun shook his head vigorously and said：
　　“With this move of Xu Taiping’s, at least, at least it can gain a hundred years of advantage for the Shangqing cultivation world in the decisive battle with Jiuyuan！”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan was stunned at first, and then asked：
　　“Third Uncle, did you see the real intention of Xu Taiping presenting this Buddha statue to Xuanhuang Tian？”
　　Shi Hu Tianjun nodded, and then with a hint of excitement in his eyes, he said：
　　“If you only look at the motivation of Xu Taiping presenting the Buddha to Xuanhuang from the perspective of a cultivator, you will definitely be confused. But if you look at it from the perspective of the dispute between Shangqing and Jiuyuan, everything will become clear！”
　　Xiahou You, who had been listening silently beside them, said very confusedly：
　　“The Mysterious Wilderness has been occupied by the Nine Abysses for a long time. I’m afraid a Buddhist heritage can’t shake the foundation of the Nine Abysses？”
　　Xiahou Qingyuan also spoke at this time and said：
　　“This Buddha statue can at most protect the area within three to five hundred miles of the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven. The number of common people it can protect is not even as many as those in a big city of the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven.”
　　Heavenly Monarch Shihu looked at the two deeply and then asked rhetorically：
　　“Qingyuan, Xiaoyou, do you know how many Buddhist disciples are left in the Supreme Purity？”
　　Xiahou You seriously thought about it and then replied：
　　“Although the inheritance of Buddhist fate has been cut off for millions of years, the number of Buddhist disciples has never been low. Just the number of disciples who have cultivated the Buddhist Dharma in the Five Directions and Heavens should be as many as several hundred thousand.”
　　“If we don’t count the disciples who have cultivated the Buddhist Dharma and only count the monks who study the scriptures and practice hard in the temples, the number is probably three to five million.”
　　After hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan was stunned there as if struck by lightning.
　　Immediately, his eyes were fixed on Xu Taiping in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone, and he murmured with horror in his eyes：
　　“No, if we add those Buddhist believers, the number is far more than that.”
　　Xiahou You didn’t understand and said：
　　“Why add the Buddhist believers…”
　　When she said this, like Xiahou Qingyuan just now, she stood there motionless as if petrified.
　　A moment later, she murmured：
　　“Hundreds of thousands of Buddhist disciples who have cultivated magical powers, millions of ordinary Buddhist disciples, tens of millions of Buddhist believers… If they all go to the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven to make a pilgrimage, that will be… What a terrifying force that will be.”
　　At this time, the Stone Lake Heavenly Monarch also said excitedly：
　　“Not too many, as long as one or two out of ten of these Buddhist monks and believers can understand the inheritance of Buddhist fate through that Buddha statue.”
　　When he said this, the Stone Lake Heavenly Monarch paused for a moment, and then said with a trembling voice：
　　“That will be the end of the Nine Abysses within the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven！”
　　Just at this moment, only the old city lord of Thousand Chance City was heard, loudly saying with a voice full of gratitude：
　　“Thousand Chance City, on behalf of the common people of the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven, thanks to Young Master Taiping for his great righteousness！”
　　After a slight pause, the old city lord suddenly said excitedly and passionately with a voice full of killing intent：
　　“To express our gratitude, Thousand Chance City will unite with the major cities in the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven and declare war on all the forces of the Nine Abysses within the Mysterious Fantasy Heaven from today.”
　　“The war will not stop until the Nine Abysses roll out of the Mysterious Wilderness in one day！”
Hearing that the city lord of Thousand Chance City actually declared a full-scale war on the forces of the Nine Abysses in the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven in his shouts, all the watching cultivators were stunned on the spot.
　　The Stone Lake Heavenly Monarch let out a “huff” sound, and exhaled a long breath of turbid air in his chest. Then, with a trembling voice, he said excitedly：
　　“The old city lord of this Thousand Machines City must have also seen the true intention of Xu Taiping’s gift of this Buddhist affinity！”
But just at this moment, accompanied by a “rumbling” sound of the earth shaking, the originally clear sky of the Old Dragon Court suddenly had dark clouds pressing down on the city, and it was pitch black.
　　Immediately after, there was a shout from a cultivator on the street outside the building, with a tone full of horror：
　　“Outside the Old Dragon Court, a large number of Nine Abyss Demonic Beasts are gathering！”
　　“They, they are attacking the city！”
