"The heart is originally unborn, arising from cause; the heart doesn't die, as it perishes with the cause."

Xinyuan's hands rapidly healed, as if time was flowing backward, and in the blink of an eye, all injuries had disappeared.

"It's useless; Zen Heart unmoving, Buddha Body undying. The combination of Heart Zen Immortal Skill and the Karma Wheel has placed this humble monk in an invincible position."

Despite these words, the Ten-foot Golden Body steadfastly blocked the gap of the Pure Land, not giving a chance to sever that beam of light.

The so-called 'undying' is just empty talk, but being in an invincible position is the truth. As long as Xinyuan remains connected to the Pure Land, he stands in an invincible position.

"Blocking the gap of the Pure Land, yet unable to also protect the Ten Thousand Buddha Array."

Qing Yu raised his blade, the enchanting evil aura swirling around the Great Evil King, staining the blade with a ghostly green filled with a strange demonic presence that gave rise to Heart Demons at the mere sight.

"Ghost Zen Six Breaks·Divine Confusion Fall."

Demonic Qi and enchanting aura instantly filled the air, the raised blade fell into view, and the evil aura on the blade spread in the heart.

Many monks within the Ten Thousand Buddha Array subconsciously looked up, capturing the ghostly green blade in their eyes.

After which, their vision turned black, their qi was disrupted, and a mouthful of blood spurted from their mouths.

"Scatter."

Countless ghostly green, evil light shot out from the blade, scattering like rain, falling onto the Ten Thousand Buddha Array.

"Spooky!"

Seeing this, Xinyuan was furious, the Buddha Palm lifted again, revealing endless Buddha's might, stirring up a great battle.

"His mental state seems to have destabilized, and there's a strange transformation in his body," Qing Yu transmitted to Yin Tianxia while battling.

After connecting with the Pure Land, Xinyuan's battle power almost rivaled that of the Sword God post-closed cultivation. Qing Yu, even with all methods exhausted, couldn't match his power, especially while concealing his identity.

However, this condition of being connected to the Pure Land has hidden dangers, or rather instability. Otherwise, Xinyuan would have used this method from the start, and Qing Yu could have directly retreated.

"Continue the battle, see through the real and unreal," replied Yin Tianxia.

Though his battle power rivals the Sword God, at this moment, the pressure Xinyuan imposes on the two is far less than the Sword God. At least, in an unstable mental state, fighting against two Supreme warriors presents a significant weakness.

"Chang Chang—"

Ice Blade and Evil Blade clashed against the Ten-foot Golden Body, and the battle remained unresolved.

························

On a high peak ten li away from the Great Zen Temple, two figures stood watching the Buddha's appearance reaching the heavens and the battle of Buddha and Demon with demonic aura soaring.

"The Pure Land, the last card of the Buddhist Sect. During the Zen and Esoteric conflict, the Zen Sect's strength was far inferior to the Esoteric Sect, yet it grew under immense pressure, eventually driving the Esoteric Sect out of the Central Plains. The Pure Land must have played a significant role in this."

The figure slightly ahead, fully concealed under a black cloak, appeared extremely mysterious, yet his words carried an upright grandeur, sweeping away the secretive aura.

What he spoke of is also one of the great unsolved mysteries for hundreds of years.

A thousand years ago, the Zen Sect had profound roots but lacked the strength to contend with the Esoteric Sect. Still, this Buddhist branch blew the horn of challenge under such disadvantageous circumstances, and rapidly developed under the pressure of the Esoteric Sect.

Until several centuries ago, when the Zen Sect developed to its limit, it entered into a decisive battle with the Esoteric Sect.

The result of the battle was the narrow victory of the Zen Sect, which expelled the Esoteric Sect overseas.

Now, seeing the gate of the Pure Land open at the Great Zen Temple, this unsolved mystery for centuries now has an answer.

As everyone knows, once a Secret Realm is established, it cannot be moved. So this Pure Land, the Buddha's Secret Realm passed down within the Buddhist Sect for thousands of years, has been located above the Great Zen Temple from the start.

Even before the Great Zen Temple was built, the Pure Land was already here. Perhaps the predecessors of the Great Zen Temple discovered the Pure Land, or received some information, but the choice of the Great Zen Temple's site was closely related to the Pure Land's location from the very beginning.

"King, our purpose here today is not to unearth the connection between the Great Zen Temple and the Pure Land."

The figure further back was a young man in black combat attire, with disheveled hair and an unyielding countenance.

Notably, this man was one of the rare archers in worldly society, carrying a black iron great bow on his back and a quiver of the same color. The arrows in the quiver were crude stone arrows.

This conspicuous symbol revealed the man's identity. He was the one Qing Yu encountered while possessed by the Sword Maiden, the Divine Communication Archer of the Southern Border, and also the Witch King's brother — Hou Huai.

And the only one Hou Huai would call 'King' is the ruler of the Southern Border Witch Clan, the Witch King.

"Haha, finally making a trip to the Central Plains, second brother, don't be so indifferent." The Witch King showed no intention of hiding his identity, turning to pat Hou Huai on the shoulder with a loud laugh.

"King, our purpose here is not to watch a show, but for serious business. Your casualness lacks decorum," Hou Huai responded calmly.

"Humph, decorum, you've barely been in the Central Plains, yet you've almost absorbed the mannerisms of those pedantic scholars."

The Witch King snorted lightly, not holding much against it.

He also knew that though the Central Plains people had their shortcomings, the fact that they always occupied the most spacious lands in the world meant they had much worth learning.

So, he looked down upon them but knew when it was necessary to learn.

"The Great Witch Sacrifice mentioned that the Taoist Qing Yu is Xuantian; now Yi Yeshu is using Silent Annihilation Demon Skill and the Evil Blade Xuantian once used. Could it be Qing Yu in disguise?" The Witch King looked at the demonic Sword Gang soaring into the sky, regaining his serious demeanor.

"I've already asked the Great Witch Sacrifice about this. He said Qing Yu and Xuantian had appeared simultaneously. If he hasn't cultivated the Divided Soul Avatar technique, there's only one possibility: Qing Yu has an ally who practices Demon Technique and wields the Evil Blade, who once acted as Xuantian to support his actions," Hou Huai replied.

"Then it's the latter. With Qing Yu's age, it's impossible to cultivate a Divided Soul to a Supreme warrior's level," said the Witch King.

Not everyone can squander as many years as Mi Shenweng. Given Qing Yu's age, even if he could divide his Divine Soul, it wouldn't reach the Supreme warrior's realm in a short time.

Not to mention, dividing his Divine Soul would decrease his own strength.

At this time, the battle in the distance was becoming more intense. The Witch King shook off his distractions, focusing intently on the battle, ready to react.

"The battle between Buddha and Demon will soon reach a conclusion. Can the Buddhist Sect repel the fierce enemy?"

The Witch King extended his hand, and a black wooden bow engraved with black dragon patterns appeared in his grip, tightly watching the battle scene ten li away, awaiting the moment the outcome would reveal itself.
