Chapter 48 Nirvana Temple
The so-called Buddhist Holy Land couldn't be said to be a faction because it was the entire Western Continent with many temples within it.
In fact, there is no so-called faction among Buddhists, it might be more correct to say that all Buddhists are one single faction.
At the center of the continent, there was a gigantic temple, shaped like a hill and surrounded by thousands of stone towers.
Qin Yuan estimated it was ten times bigger than the earth. Ordinary eyes definitely can't see the other side of the temple.
The entire temple looked deserted, but outside the temple, there were countless monks and ordinary people.
Among those ordinary people, there was no shortage of experts like the Saint Ancestor. Some meditated facing the temple, some prostrated themselves, and some just watched leisurely.
This is the Nirvana Temple, the core of the Buddhist Holy Land.
When talking about historically, the temple was actually older than all the monks in the Divine World. It's one of those places that existed even before civilization began.
So far, no damage has been seen.
It looked deserted because there weren't many people living there, only a few were on duty to look after.
The monks and the two Buddhas had their own temples and traveled frequently to spread the teachings of the Buddha.
Overall, it can be said to be a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists.
Due to the importance of the temple, various treasures owned by Buddhists are kept in the temple.
The Sky Butterfly Queen gazed at the temple with her piercing blue eyes, it was a gaze that could make even the eagles lose their nerve.
"It's there..."
She then pointed to one of the stone towers.
After that, she looked at the Holy Sword Emperor and the Purple Ocean DRAGON.
"There are some barriers and guards, you two destroy them first while we gather strength... But remember, don't kill anyone, we're only stealing here!"
The two nodded without saying anything.
The Purple Ocean Dragon was the first to move.
He transformed into his dragon figure the moment he appeared in front of the stone tower.
Roar....
His appearance was accompanied by a loud roar, reverberating across the continent.
"What happened?" Countless eyes widened as they saw a huge dragon appear in the temple.
Not even all the monks are qualified to enter the temple, how dare a dragon appear and roar there.
"Look!" Someone pointed to the sky.
There appeared two eyes like the sun, that was what ordinary people saw.
The experts with Heavenly Eyes, on the other hand, saw a man standing with a sword in his hand.
"It's the Holy Sword Emperor..."
He was very famous because he was one of the strongest among the Ninth stage, so the experts quickly recognized him.
"Is this an attack?"
"It seems so..."
"No, it's not just these two people..." Someone with sharp senses suddenly said.
When he said that, his body trembled as if he saw the most terrifying thing, confusing his friends.
"Is there one more powerful?" Ask his friend.
He shook his head, leaving them confused.
"T-three, n-not one," he replied, making all of his friends tremble as well once they understood what he meant.
One of them managed to calm down faster, he said, "this will be a big disaster, run fast!"
Meanwhile, the Sky Butterfly Queen took a deep breath.
A light blue bow appeared in her hand. It was almost as long as her own body with flower carvings on each side.
She then looked at Qin Yuan and said, "Eternal Star, please hold on for a moment!"
After saying that, her body disappeared.
It also happened to the Sword-Hearted Great Emperor.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
One after another Monks appeared in front of the Purple Ocean Dragon, their cultivations consisting of stages four to eight.
The monk who was at the eighth stage with a calm expression said, "go!"
He and the others then sent their palms at the dragon.
Each palm became extremely large.
However, the dragon was still bigger.
"Roar…" He roared again in response so that all the monks except for one who was at the eighth stage were flung in various directions.
"You are not my opponent," said the Purple Ocean Dragon in a majestic voice before sending his fist into the palm that was still heading towards him.
Bang...
Their collision generated a huge shockwave, it didn't affect the temple but threw the weaklings who were outside the temple.
The Eighth Stage Monk managed to withstand the Purple Ocean Dragon's fist, but only for a second.
After that, he was thrown off just like the others.
Whoosh...
The Holy Sword Emperor finally made his move, he charged towards the stone tower while nine golden swords appeared behind him, turning the sky golden yellow.
"Amitabha, my brother Holy Sword, please stop!" Suddenly a voice full of wisdom resounded from a location within the temple.
A holy golden light then gushed out from that location.
After that, people saw the figure of a handsome young monk, wearing a yellow robe in that light.
His eyes were like golden springs, constantly emitting golden light and illuminating the entire continent.
After appearing, he immediately flew to the stone tower and stood in front of it.
"This is the Third Golden Bodhisattva, the third disciple of the Golden Buddha," the people said when they saw the young monk.
Everyone who reaches the ninth stage is not called a monk anymore, they will be called a Bodhisattva.
"Yes, the ninth stage of the battle, this will definitely shake the world," said a few juniors, getting excited without knowing that they could be reduced to ashes from a few remnants of the attack.
"You?" The Holy Sword Emperor looked at him and then shook his head.
"Call your two senior brothers, the three of you may still not be able to stop me!"
His words shocked everyone.
Even though they knew he was very strong, no one had thought that far.
The Third Golden Bodhisattva did not appear to object, he replied, "Amitabha, my life and death are here, as long as I stand here, I have nothing to fear!"
Right after he said that, manifestations of various divine beings appeared around him, they were large and emitted a ferocious aura.
One by one, they charged towards the Holy Sword Emperor.
"Hmph…" The latter snorted coldly.
A sword appeared in his hand. It seemed alive because it was vibrating violently and he had to exert a lot of strength to keep holding it.
Shua...
He slashed the sword straight at the Third Golden Bodhisattva.
His attack was almost imperceptible compared to those manifestations.
However, when people saw his sword touching one of the manifestations, they found the other manifestation was also cut.
Bang...
They exploded, becoming countless specks of light that were flung out in various directions.
The Holy Sword Emperor finally arrived in front of the Third Golden Bodhisattva and struck him in the chest with the hilt of his sword, causing him to be flung far into the sky.
People can't see him anymore.
The Holy Sword Emperor then slashed his sword at the stone tower, followed by the Purple Ocean Dragon sending out his huge fist.
Various layers of energy appeared around the stone tower, but they quickly disintegrated.
Boom...
Eventually the stone tower itself shattered, revealing an enormous golden gate. It was surrounded by chains and just looking at it made one feel as if they were looking at a wall so thick that it was impossible to break.
"Quick back!" A gentle voice full of majesty resounded, making the wind on almost the entire continent move towards the temple.
