Sky-reaching Sea of Clouds, Sacred Fire Cliff.
At the same moment when the Duo Bao Child took out the Buddha statue, revealing his identity as a Pure Land undercover and attempting to recruit the Black Iron Sword Master, Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch also raised her delicate brows.
In the next second, she looked up towards Jiangxi.
"Those bald donkeys also want to interfere?"
Before her voice had even faded, a massive Buddha head, as large as a mountain, also rose within the Pure Land.
Its eyes seemed to be made of glass, and as its lips parted, it let out a wave of Buddhist chant:
"Not exactly."
In the vast hall, a grand voice echoed:
"It is merely that a junior wishes to take advantage of this great war to ferry some destined ones to my Pure Land for blessings."
"Hmph!"A flash of crimson appeared in the beautiful eyes of Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch, as if she could barely restrain herself.
"Fine then, I won’t care about that person, but you better not interfere either."
"If he dies in Jiangbei, don’t come blaming me."
"Amitabha, this is only natural."
The Buddha head smiled faintly.
After all, the one he had sent was a late Foundation Establishment Great Arhat.
Unless a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator made a move, who could possibly kill him?
Yet all perfected Foundation Establishment cultivators sought the Golden Core, and the last thing they wanted was to offend a True Monarch like him.
Who would risk offending a Bodhisattva just to kill a late Foundation Establishment Great Arhat?
It was simply not worth it, unless that person never wished to achieve Golden Core in this life!
Thus, the Buddha head remained calm.
In his eyes, Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch clearly could not withstand the pressure from the Pure Land, Dao Court, and Sword Pavilion, and had no choice but to back down.
"A wise choice."
Thinking of this, the Buddha head withdrew his gaze, secretly looking forward to the devil who cultivated the Nine Transforming Dragon Art, corresponding to the 【City Wall Earth】.
Previously, when the 【Vase Water Moon Bodhisattva】 made a move, the effort was thwarted because of Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch’s intervention.
But now presented a great opportunity.
Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch needed to protect Chong Guang and had no strength left to care for others.
It was the perfect time to ferry that devil over to the Pure Land!
At Zhalong Pass,
Looking at the Duo Bao Child and the Black Iron Sword Master before him, the Dharma body surrounded by Buddha light nodded in satisfaction and said:
"My name is 【Vimotara Revered One】."
In the Pure Land, Foundation Establishment cultivators were known as Arhats.
And late Foundation Establishment Great Beings were called Great Arhats, recognized as Pure Land Revered Ones who had achieved the three attainments of Slayer of Delusions, Unborn, and Worthy of Offerings.
Slayer of Delusions, meaning the severance of all delusions and confusions.
Unborn, meaning no longer reborn in the Three Realms.
Worthy of Offerings, meaning deserving of the greatest worldly offerings.
As the name suggests, figures like 【Vimotara Revered One】 could freely access the insights of the World-Honored One, encountering almost no bottlenecks in cultivating divine powers.
Moreover, with their Dharma body residing in Nirvana within the Pure Land and their soul remaining solely in the Pure Land, they were free from reincarnation unless slain.
Additionally, they received offerings from countless disciples, Dharma masters, and even Arhats within the Pure Land, preparing them for their future achievement of Bodhisattva-hood.
Thus, they earned the title of 【Revered One】.
Upon hearing the name 【Vimotara Revered One】, the Black Iron Sword Master became visibly excited, his expression growing increasingly respectful.
"Revered One, please save us from this sea of suffering."
"No rush."
Facing the Black Iron Sword Master’s plea, 【Vimotara Revered One】 merely shook his head with a smile.
"The world is foolish, drowning in the sea of suffering. I wish to save them all."
"This..."
Hearing this, the Black Iron Sword Master frowned at once.
He had surrendered just to save his life, yet now he was being told there was no rush.
What was the point of his defection then?
"Rest assured."
"Since you have chosen to abandon darkness for light and join the Pure Land, how could I possibly abandon you?"
【Vimotara Revered One】 smiled faintly, then reached out to send forth two beams of Buddha light.
"Take these methods to study. As long as you gather the required individuals, you can surely defeat the Saint Sect."
"This is..."
The Black Iron Sword Master and Duo Bao Child exchanged glances as they received the divine sense projection from 【Vimotara Revered One】.
In an instant, a cultivation method appeared in their minds:
『Great Mighty Virtue Bull-Headed King Empowerment Method』!
"This method requires using a man born in a Yang year, Yang month, Yang day, and Yang hour as the medium to perform it."
"Only a Pure Yang destiny can bear this Dharma."
"As long as you find such men and engrave the scriptures I have passed to you upon their bodies, I can cast the empowerment to transform them into 【Mighty Virtue Kings】."
"With my authority, they can temporarily exert the combat strength of a perfected mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Duo Bao Child and the Black Iron Sword Master were utterly stunned.
Perfected mid-Foundation Establishment!?
That was already enough to change the course of the battle.
No wonder this one was called a Great Being.
Even with remote intervention, such divine power was astounding!
"I will make arrangements at once!"
Duo Bao Child hurriedly sent orders to search for suitable candidates.
The Black Iron Sword Master’s eyes shone brightly.
"With the Revered One’s aid, we will surely achieve a great victory over the Demon Sect this time!"
And avenge the Sect Master and the Sword Sect!
"That is secondary."
【Vimotara Revered One】 pressed his palms together, smiling faintly.
"My Pure Land has not come merely for slaughter, but to ferry the destined ones."
Duo Bao Child froze for a moment.
"Who are these destined ones?"
"I see that Yuan Tu of the Demon Sect is greatly fated with my Pure Land."
"In this battle, I will have the empowered 【Mighty Virtue King】 capture him first."
"Excellent!"
Duo Bao Child let out a loud laugh, his face full of anticipation.
Although this was not his own accomplishment, if he could use 【Vimotara Revered One】’s power to severely punish Lü Yang and even force him to betray the Demon Sect and join the Pure Land, it would still count as venting his frustration.
Moreover, it would be a chance to prove himself.
Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon can attest—I am truly not a Saint Sect spy!
"Then I shall entrust this task to you, Revered One."
"Amitabha."
【Vimotara Revered One】 nodded, recalling the Bodhisattva’s instructions and feeling that his plan should not pose any great risk.
Personally participating in the great battle carried heavy karmic consequences and risked post-battle reckoning.
However, by using secret methods to borrow another’s body without employing Great Being-level power in the fight, and with a Bodhisattva covering him, there should be little danger.
Moreover, he was rational and not greedy.
As long as he captured Lü Yang and ferried him over, he could even turn around and help the Saint Sect.
Given the grand scheme of Chong Guang seeking the Golden Core, surely no one would pursue the matter.
"If there is a flaw..." 【Vimotara Revered One】 pondered.
"This 『Great Mighty Virtue Bull-Headed King Empowerment Method』 does have a weakness—the requirement for a Pure Yang destiny male is too strict."
"The Demon Sect once created a method specifically to counter it."
The method’s purpose was simple—
To turn a man into a woman.
Once the gender changed, the Pure Yang destiny would collapse.
As a result, the empowered individual would immediately die.
The backlash of the Dharma would even affect his true body, causing him to lose several years of cultivation.
"However, that method only changes gender."
Thinking of this, 【Vimotara Revered One】 quickly regained his composure.
"Apart from targeting the 『Great Mighty Virtue Bull-Headed King Empowerment Method』, it has virtually no other use."
"Surely no demon would bother to cultivate it..."
