1582 Merciful Arch Gilded Intent, Entering Lapis Lazuli Land Again, Verified Thoughts

"This Arch Gilded Intent…"

Chu Kuangren sat in the middle of the wooden cottage with his legs crossed, and a streak of golden light swirled above his palm.

From the light, a bright and holistic Arch Gilded Intent emanated.

"Merciful Arch Gilded Intent!" Chu Kuangren chuckled.

The Merciful Arch Gilded Intent was the most common Arch Gilded Intent that most of the Buddhist cultivators could manifest.

While Chu Kuangren manifested the Merciful Arch Gilded Intent, the energy fluctuation captured the attention of the monks, and it surprised them.

"That's the Arch Gilded Intent! Has someone broken through into the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm?"

"Could it be Shi Ying?"

"No. This Arch Gilded Intent is coming from Brother Chu's cottage."

Many of the monks communicated through Immortal Consciousness, and when they confirmed the source of the Arch Gilded Intent, they were more surprised than ever.

Chu Kuangren?

The arrogant and powerful Peerless Prodigy managed to manifest the Merciful Arch Gilded Intent unique to the Buddhist cultivators!

Could it be a mistake?

It was unbelievable! It was like someone telling the monks that Papiyas was actually Buddha.

"He is indeed an anomaly and cannot be measured using common sense," Buddha Yun Lan muttered as she shook her head.

Then, she looked at the high monks before her and said, "How's the investigation on the Holy Dragon Pure Land?"

"Madam, you're right. Holy Dragon Pure Land has been acting weird in the past few years. This is the information we've gathered. Please have a look."

One of the monks handed her a jade scroll.

The scroll listed down three unusual points of Holy Dragon Pure Land.

First, Holy Dragon Pure Land's number of believers surged, or more precisely, skyrocketed.

Second, other than the believers, Holy Dragon Pure Land had also built Buddhist towers all over the place and claimed to use the towers to raise Sariras. The number of Buddhist towers scattered across almost half of the Far West Land.

Third, Holy Dragon Pure Land seemed to house an Embodier great one, but no one knew who he was. The only thing known about him was that he claimed to be the Sin Buddha.

The first two points remained a mystery, but the third point caught Buddha Yun Lan's attention.

No matter what Holy Dragon Pure Land was plotting, as long as they did not have the support of an Embodier, Buddha Yun Lan was not afraid of them.

However, once the Embodier was added to the equation, the answer would be totally different.

Embodiers had unpredictable measures, and their powers rivaled that of Buddha Yun Lan. Therefore, she was forced to take his matter seriously.

"There are a lot of strange points regarding Holy Dragon Pure Land's expansion, and Wu Cai's visit exposed his identity as the Buddha Destroyer, so we can use this as an excuse to visit them. If they are willing to stop the expansion, we will let this go; if they refuse, I don't mind solving this with force," Buddha Yun Lan said.

"Yes," the high monks answered en masse.

Meanwhile, at Holy Dragon Pure Land, a scrawny monk was meditating and had a string of blood beads in his hand. On a closer look, the beads were actually tiny skulls of human beings.

The old monk chanted a series of strange mantras as he counted the skull beads. Every aspect of him screamed of strangeness and ominousness.

Then, a monk came and knelt before him. "Abbot, Wu Cai is dead."

Upon hearing that, the old monk's hand paused and asked, "Who did it?"

"News said it was Chu Kuangren."

"Oh?"

The old monk was even more shocked. "The arrogant madman who overpowers the universe?"

"Abbot, the plan is imminent. Now that Chu Kuangren has appeared in Euphoria Pure Land, do we need to delay the launch?"

The old monk pondered. Then, his eyes gleamed red, and he said, "We've been preparing this for a long time. We have the best timing, the geographical advantage, and the overwhelming numbers. How can we let our efforts go down the drain just because of Chu Kuangren? If we give up now, we might not get the chance again."

"I understand, Abbot. I will continue the preparation, and we will carry out the plan in three days," the monk said.

"Mmhm. Go."

After the monk left, the old monk with the skull beads looked at the red four-armed Buddha statue before him.

He muttered, "It's time to ring the Buddha Destroyer Bell."

…

Back at Euphoria Pure Land, Chu Kuangren woke up and cleaned himself up.

A while later, one of the monks led him to the mess hall, where he enjoyed a local vegetarian meal.

After the meal, Shi Ying brought him to the Lapis Lazuli Land.

On the way there, they ran into a fight between two forces. As Guanyin's successor, Shi Ying could not allow conflicts to happen within Euphoria Pure Land, so she went up and stopped them.

That was when she found out that both forces accused each other of worshiping a fake Buddha, hence the fight.

"This isn't the first time," Shi Ying said helplessly after settling the conflict.

With her explanation, Chu Kuangren found out that such minor conflicts rarely happened within the Pure Lands since all of them worshiped the same Buddha.

Even the Buddhist cultivators carried out their cultivation in an organized manner.

However, ever since Holy Dragon Pure Land rose to power, the harmonious scene was broken.

Forces would fight with each other due to different beliefs, and it had been occurring more frequently than ever.

Even if not because of the forces' beliefs, the forces would fight each other over some cultivation resources, and there would be casualties.

It might be a common occurrence elsewhere but unusual in the Far West Land.

"Something is wrong with Holy Dragon Pure Land," Shi Yin said.

"Aren't the other Pure Lands aren't doing about it?" Chu Kuangren asked.

"We're trying to stop it from happening, but Holy Dragon Pure Land is a force to be reckoned with, and they seem to have the support of an Embodier. It's not easy going up against them. However, exposing Wu Cai's identity as the Buddha Destroyer this time might be a chance for us, and I have to thank you for that," Shi Ying said.

"No worries."

The two of them soon arrived at the entrance of Lapis Lazuli Land.

The massive Buddhist Character Boundary was still intact with golden Buddhist Light surrounding it.

The two of them entered Lapis Lazuli Land.

The Desire World Sky was still hanging above their head, exuding a tempting aura.

"Why are you back here?" the Desire Flower on Chu Kuangren's arm asked.

"I'm here to throw you back into the Desire World Sky."

"No!"

The Desire Flower did not want to go back. The outside world was beautiful and fascinating. Moreover, she could reap all kinds of desires from different people. Why would she go back to the Desire Sky World?

There was nothing inside there other than the Sky Demons.

Chu Kuangren chuckled.

The Desire Flower was aware of the joke, and she knew Chu Kuangren was returning to Lapis Lazuli Land for a different purpose. With that, she immediately sighed a breath of relief.

At the same time, she was grumpy because Chu Kuangren teased her.

"You b*stard, is it that fun to play with my feelings?" she grumbled softly.

A while later, Chu Kuangren and Shi Ying arrived at the place where the great ones suppressed the Spiritual Mountain.

The Spiritual Mountain existed in a different dimension and had not fully appeared.

However, when they got close, Chu Kuangren's Green Lotus Mark flashed, seemingly reacting to something.

He sensed the movements from the Chaos Green Lotus as well.

It seemed like the Chaos Green Lotus was aware of the Golden Dharmic Lotus, which verified his thoughts.

His Chaos Green Lotus could absorb the treasures formed from the Golden Dharmic Lotus or other lotuses to strengthen itself.
