104: What about the holy Dharma of Nirvana?

Instead, he smiled faintly and said, “Fellow Daoist, you want my Nirvana Sacred Art, right? I’ve heard that your sect’s Disciple, Lin Ye, also has a connection with the Buddha.”

“This Nirvana Sacred Art can be considered to have found a worthy master. Since that’s the case, Abbot will bestow this Sacred Art upon Fellow Daoist.”

“Furthermore, Abbot will personally contribute five million Spirit Stones to compensate for everyone’s losses.”

“Oh?”

The Elders of Supreme Bliss Holy Land around him, hearing this old monk being so sensible, all withdrew their Aura.

The Buddha of Galan Temple had already admitted defeat and softened his stance, even offering compensation. Hmm, now he looked rather pleasing to the eye. Since that was the case, sparing him wasn’t out of the question.

But the Lord of Blissful Demons shook his head.

“Alas… baldy… ahem… Fellow Daoist, in truth, both our demonic and Buddhist paths belong within the Dao, and as forces in the Southern Region, we are essentially one family. I actually didn’t want to ask you for any so-called compensation.”

“But there’s nothing I can do. Someone just informed me that my Disciple, Lin Ye, suffered a Dao injury. As for what a Dao injury entails, I believe you understand its severity better than I do.”

“Originally, I wanted your Nirvana Sacred Art to help him, but now it’s no use. His Dao injury seems to have deeply penetrated his Divine Soul. Without your Buddhist sect’s Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus, I’m afraid he won’t be able to fully recover!”

The surrounding Elders, upon hearing the Lord of Blissful Demons say that Lin Ye had suffered a Dao injury, their gazes turned fierce again.

But when the Lord of Blissful Demons mentioned the Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus, their expressions instantly became strange.

The Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus, as everyone knew, was a Supreme Buddhist Magic Treasure. Legend had it that an Ancient Buddha used it to comprehend the Dao, and it was imbued with the Ancient Buddha’s Aura, possessing great Divine Ability.

The Buddha even treated it as a Magic Treasure, unleashing it when fighting enemies to make his Buddhist Dharma even more potent.

What in the world did that thing have to do with a Dao injury?!

Was their Holy Master trying to extort them?!

The Buddha’s face was already flushed. He never imagined that this Lord of Blissful Demons would be so brazen.

Leaving aside the fact that the Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus was an Ancient Buddha’s Legacy, the Golden Lotus itself was a powerful Magic Treasure, comparable to a Supreme artifact in some respects.

And it was also a symbol of his identity as the Buddha.

Hand over the Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus? Even if he agreed, the Buddhas of Galan Temple wouldn’t agree!

As expected!

All the Buddhas held their Zen staffs, looking furiously at the Lord of Blissful Demons, seemingly waiting for the Buddha’s command to attack him en masse.

The Buddha glanced at the surrounding demonic cultivators, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to charge out.

“Fellow Daoist, Abbot cannot agree to this request. That Golden Lotus is a Legacy left by the Ancient Buddha of my temple; it’s not something Abbot alone can decide to bestow.”

“What?!”

The Lord of Blissful Demons looked displeased: “Then what’s the point of talking?! I’m about to lose my temper!”

“Wait a moment! Wait a moment!”

An Elder scurried over, blocking his Lord of Blissful Demons: “Holy Master, we can’t lose our temper. You see, this bald… this Great Master is very sincere. Don’t lose your temper yet; let me talk to him!”

With that, the Elder came before the Buddha and whispered, “Great Master, you’ve seen it, my Holy Master is angry! When he loses his temper, it’s very frightening. I’m afraid none of you Buddhas will be able to leave.”

“Alas… To think that my Supreme Bliss Holy Land has already been renamed Righteous Qi Sect, dedicating itself to upholding the Righteous Path of the world.”

“Magic Treasures are external possessions, Great Master, aren’t you a monastic? It’s also your responsibility to contribute to the Righteous Path!”

“Come on, I’ve already stopped my Holy Master. If you bring out the Golden Lotus again, wouldn’t it be wonderful for everyone to be happy!”

“……”

Listening to the person in front of him spouting nonsense.

Even the Buddha felt a surge of anger.

He wished he could slap this scoundrel to death, but reason told him that now was not the time to act.

Just as the Buddha was about to say something, the Lord of Blissful Demons suddenly shouted, “Ancestors! Don’t come over yet, we’re still talking! They’ve already agreed to bring out the Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus as compensation. If you come in and start killing indiscriminately, wouldn’t that tarnish the name of my Righteous Qi Sect?”

“Oh, never mind, never mind, one Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus is enough! I vouch for them, they will definitely bring it out!”

The Buddha watched the other party’s self-directed act, feeling angry but helpless.

Circumstances were stronger than people! They truly could summon the Ancestors!

“Fellow Daoist, can this matter still be discussed? Abbot is willing to…”

“No more talk! No more talk!!!”

Bang!

The Holy Master kicked over the table laden with spiritual food in front of him. Because it involved his wound, he grimaced in pain, and this expression only further showed his anger.

“Old geezer, I’ve given you several chances! Are you still going to drag this out? If so, let’s settle this with our hands! You injured my Disciple, right? Good, it shouldn’t be a problem for all of you to suffer a Dao injury, right?!”

“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Although our Righteous Qi Sect is the leader of the Righteous Path, you made the first move, so don’t blame us for being unrighteous!”

With that, the Lord of Blissful Demons walked towards the Buddha, and people on both sides simultaneously unleashed their Magic Treasures.

A major battle was inevitable.

At this moment, the Buddha reached out and stopped the Buddhas behind him.

After a soft sigh, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a Golden Lotus materialized.

The reason that Golden Lotus was called a Golden Lotus was because its entire body was golden, as if cast from molten gold.

Each lotus petal was inscribed with an Ancient Buddha’s language. The moment it appeared in the Buddha’s hand, the entire hall resonated with the Buddha’s Voice. The Golden Lotus appeared solemn and magnificent, clearly an extraordinary Magic Treasure.

“Buddha! You mustn’t!”

“If we hand over the Golden Lotus to the demonic cultivators, how will we face ourselves when we return to the temple?!”

“Exactly! The Ancient Buddha will be shamed, and such great Karma will also taint us!”

“Buddha, please reconsider!”

Hearing the desperate pleas of the Buddhas, the Buddha waved his hand: “There is no need to say more about this matter. Since we couldn’t control our subordinates and they laid a treacherous hand on others, we have already violated the temple’s precepts!”

“If I don’t enter Hell, who will? This Karma, I shall bear it alone!”

With that, the Buddha gritted his teeth and then tossed the Golden Lotus towards the Lord of Blissful Demons.

The latter, after receiving the Golden Lotus, also had a look of disbelief.

He never imagined that this Buddha would actually give him the Treasure Appearance Golden Lotus? So casually?

But the Aura on the Golden Lotus couldn’t be faked, so this must be the real thing!

What a brave man, cutting off his own arm. If this guy doesn’t die, there will likely be great changes in the future.

The Buddha gave the Golden Lotus to the Lord of Blissful Demons, who instead developed a murderous intent towards him.

Willing to sacrifice anything to survive, even incurring Karma, such a person was too cunning. If he wasn’t killed, perhaps…

As the Lord of Blissful Demons pondered, the Elder who had spoken earlier walked over again: “Lord of Blissful Demons, take it. Judging by his pained expression and this Aura, the Golden Lotus is definitely not fake.”

“What about the Nirvana Sacred Art?”

“What Nirvana Sacred Art?! Why are you like this?!”

The Elder looked at his Lord of Blissful Demons with a bewildered expression: “I didn’t say Nirvana Sacred Art!”
