#263 - Chapter 263 Destruction is for future revival

The Divine Turtle sat on the grand master's chair, holding a cup of refreshing tea, but he didn't drink it.

The Divine Turtle was very wary whenever Buddha was mentioned.

And Ye Kong probably guessed why the Divine Turtle was so wary.

Buddha wasn't dead yet; he was still alive.

This was huge news!

No wonder Buddha said he was tainted by karma. He had taken away a Buddhist disciple from the Buddhist sect, so wasn't that just being tainted by karma?

The Divine Turtle pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Have you been to the Poso Pure Land?"

"The Buddhist sect's demise was for the sake of future revival!"

"Back then, Buddha left behind a Buddhist disciple to guard the Poso Pure Land, to welcome Buddha's return at the appropriate time."

"But the Buddhist disciple at that time saw a scene he shouldn't have seen, which caused a demonic seed to be planted in his heart. Therefore, the Buddhist disciple fell into a long slumber, trying to refine the demonic seed."

"But he failed. Not only did he not refine the demonic seed, but he also allowed the demonic seed to become stronger and stronger, driving him into a state of madness and forgetting what Buddha had told him to do."

"As for the reason for the Buddhist sect's destruction, I'm not very clear either. Buddha used powerful methods to conceal the secrets of heaven. By the time I saw the secrets of heaven, the Buddhist sect was already gone."

The Divine Turtle explained in detail, telling everything he knew.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Ye Kong asked, puzzled.

"Destroy all the physical bodies within the Poso Pure Land to prevent Buddha from returning and occupying the Immortal Cultivation World!" the Divine Turtle said directly.

"Aren't they just opening a dojo in the Land of Ultimate Bliss? Would they also occupy the Immortal Cultivation World?" Ye Kong asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Divine Turtle nodded slightly and said, "If Hong hadn't restricted the development of the Buddhist sect back then, the Immortal Cultivation World would be full of Buddhas today!"

"No wonder there are only Buddhas in the Poso Pure Land," Ye Kong understood.

It wasn't that the Buddhist sect didn't develop, but rather that they were restricted by Hong, the master of heaven and earth.

"Once Buddha returns, the Buddhist sect will surely prosper. At that time, the entire Immortal Cultivation World will be reduced to the Buddhist sect," the Divine Turtle said again.

"This is a battle for the Dao, and it must be restricted."

Upon hearing this, Ye Kong said directly, "I'm not interested in the battle for the Dao, but if the Buddhist sect provokes me first, then I will naturally return the favor."

"You still haven't told me what the foreign enemy is," Ye Kong continued to ask.

But the Divine Turtle fell into a deep sleep, seemingly unwilling to answer this question.

Ye Kong was speechless for a while, but he had also obtained what he wanted.

The Buddhist disciple was a backup plan set up to welcome Buddha's return, but because of his appearance, he took away the Buddhist disciple, and that was why he was tainted by karma.

The remnant thoughts that Buddha left on the Buddhist disciple also found him, but he had cut them off.

After Ye Kong connected everything together, he instantly understood.

It's just that he still doesn't understand how the Buddhist sect perished.

But that's not important anymore. As long as the physical bodies are destroyed, it will be difficult for the Buddhist sect to revive.

"So, the Buddhist inscriptions covering the Poso Pure Land were to protect everyone's physical bodies," Ye Kong finally understood the function of those Buddhist inscriptions.

It was to protect the physical bodies of all the Buddhas from being destroyed by outsiders.

Ye Kong sat with the Divine Turtle for a while before leaving the Crystal Palace.

Afterward, he went directly to the Poso Pure Land, wanting to finish the matter early and go back to rest.

After arriving at the Poso Pure Land, Ye Kong directly broke through the Buddhist inscriptions and walked inside.

Inside, it was still desolate and dilapidated, and the ground was covered with polluted bloodstains.

Ye Kong took out the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and took a deep breath.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth. Since you have already perished, then rest in peace!"

After Ye Kong finished speaking, he held the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and slashed horizontally.

Wherever the demon halberd passed, the ruins instantly turned into dust, and those physical Buddhas were also destroyed by Ye Kong's halberd.

Although they had cultivated physical bodies, they still couldn't withstand a single blow from Ye Kong's demon halberd.

Ye Kong dragged the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and killed his way to the Leiyin Temple.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Leiyin Temple, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from the Leiyin Temple, soaring into the sky!

The entire Land of Ultimate Bliss was illuminated by the Buddha's light, and all the great powers and great emperors of the Immortal Cultivation World sensed the situation in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

"The seal of the Poso Pure Land, could it be that it has been lifted?"

"Could it be that something is about to revive inside!"

"Perhaps a treasure has appeared. Hurry, if we're late, it'll be gone."

All the great powers and great emperors flew to the Land of Ultimate Bliss to investigate the situation.

And outside the Leiyin Temple,

Ye Kong raised the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and pointed it at the Leiyin Temple.

"Just a group of remaining thoughts, can they stop me?" Ye Kong said coldly.

"Leiyin Temple is a sacred place of Buddhism, no weapons are allowed!" A loud shout came.

Ye Kong directly slashed out with his halberd, shattering the golden light.

"Amitabha, Benefactor, your murderous aura is too heavy. You should fall into the Avici Hell, never to be reincarnated!" A Buddhist chant came from the Leiyin Temple.

Ye Kong smiled upon hearing this and walked into the Leiyin Temple, stepping on the shattered golden light.

Inside, the physical Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on both sides emitted golden light, revealing expressions of pity for the world.

If their souls hadn't been extinguished, Ye Kong would have suspected that they were still alive.

"Since you've perished, then honestly be clay statues. Don't think about coming back to life!"

After Ye Kong finished speaking, he held the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd and swung it out.

All the golden light in the Leiyin Temple instantly converged, turning into a sturdy shield to resist Ye Kong's attack.

"Crack!"

The shield shattered, and Ye Kong swung his halberd, the vast demonic energy instantly destroying the physical bodies of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Ye Kong walked to the throne and raised his demon halberd to look at the lotus platform.

The lotus platform was extremely strong, blocking Ye Kong's slash.

But Ye Kong then continuously slashed several times, completely shattering the lotus platform.

The entire Leiyin Temple was completely destroyed by Ye Kong.

After Ye Kong finished, he left.

Outside was a desolate scene, all the physical Buddhas had been shattered by Ye Kong, without leaving a single one.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth," Ye Kong said softly and left directly.

The physical bodies had been destroyed, so even if they returned in the future, they would not have bodies to accommodate them. At that time, they would still die.

The body is the foundation. Without a body, Ye Kong wanted to see how they could be reborn from Nirvana.

As Ye Kong left, the pillar of light covering the Poso Pure Land also disappeared.

This left the great powers who had just arrived somewhat at a loss.

"Where's the golden light?"
