Chapter 531: Void Buddha Kingdom

Mo Qianxun deliberately adopted solemn righteousness and declared, "Since ancient times, good and evil stand opposed. The Ten-Thousand Gu Sect belongs to the Demonic Path—cruel, evil, and spreading ruin. Destroying such sect would bless our righteous cause!"

"Of course!" Dongfang Weiming awkwardly nodded before shifting tone. "But Senior, though wise, should guard against cornered beasts lashing out!"

"Oh?" Mo Qianxun sneered. "The weakened Ten-Thousand Gu Sect barely threatens Mo Sect even at full strength. What fear have we now?"

"Unpredictable!" Dongfang Weiming countered. "Ten-Thousand Gu Sect retains power despite losses. If they strike recklessly, your territories outside headquarters may share Ghost Realm Sect’s fate!"

"Hmph!" Mo Qianxun scoffed. "Righteous sects stand united! Let them come—allies will ensure their destruction!"

His confidence stemmed from Mo Sect’s newfound strength. With Fang Lie’s White Jade Divine Fish, vast spirit pills, and precious Spirit Liquid, other sects eagerly sought alliance. Even Great Thunder Sound Temple might aid Mo Sect to mend relations, save East Kunlun who held deep grudges.

Dongfang Weiming smirked. "Four Buddhist sects might withdraw under Ten-Thousand Gu Sect’s pressure. Taoist sects? East Kunlun won’t come, Xuan Sect’s too weak, and West Kunlun alone can’t stop Demonic Path’s full assault. Ten-Thousand Gu Sect bribed heavily to unite evil factions against you!"

"Lies!" Mo Qianxun retorted. "Demonic Path factions feud worse than opposing us! No mere wealth makes them unite against Mo Sect’s impregnable defenses! Nor would Buddhist/Taoist sects abandon us!"

"First," Dongfang Weiming smiled, "Fang Lie stole two sect treasures. All evil sects panic, fearing becoming next Ghost Realm or Ten-Thousand Gu. They’ll unite to force Mo Sect to surrender Fang Lie or make him swear off theft!"

Mo Qianxun’s face fell as he glanced at Fang Lie. After two thefts, no sect would risk being next—they’d unite despite past feuds to neutralize this threat.

"Second," Dongfang Weiming added, "Ten-Thousand Gu Sect holds a Buddhist treasure. Returning it would make Buddhists swear neutrality."

"What treasure?" Mo Qianxun leaned forward.

"Void Buddha Kingdom."

Both Mo Qianxun and Fang Lie gasped.

This ancient Buddhist Sect’s supreme treasure surpassed Ninth-Rank treasures. Crafted from a newborn world refined into palm-sized space, it became Palm Buddha Kingdom. Later, ascended masters fused their Gold Body Śāriputra Relics into it, imbuing unimaginable power.

The Kingdom radiated Buddhist wisdom, allowing even fools to master cultivation. Its space, reinforced by countless relics, repelled even Semi-Immortals with Ninth-Rank treasures. Over millennia, it became ultimate cultivation aid and weapon, converting enemies into Buddhist protectors.

Its power caused Buddhist Sect’s downfall. Later deemed one of four heaven-defying treasures, it vanished after Buddhist Sect’s collapse… until now.

"Impossible!" Mo Qianxun cried. "Void Buddha Kingdom disappeared millennia ago! How’d Ten-Thousand Gu Sect get it?"

"Non-Buddhists can’t approach it!" Fang Lie snorted. "Since when did poison peddlers join Buddha’s path?"

Dongfang Weiming chuckled. "They cheated. Lured Great Thunder Sound Temple’s Semi-Immortal abbot into retrieving it from hidden realm, then ambushed him mid-effort."

Mo Qianxun grimaced. "Foolish bald devil! What’s Ten-Thousand Gu Sect’s demand?"

"Return Ten-Thousand Gu Flags and Eighth-rank materials—keep your righteous treasures. Fair trade for Void Buddha Kingdom!"

"Trap!" Fang Lie warned. "Buddhists will hound us endlessly for this treasure!"

Dongfang Weiming grinned. "Refuse, and face united Demonic Path’s assault. Can Mo Sect withstand tenfold enemies?"

Fang Lie paled. Even he couldn’t claim such victory.
