Chapter 975 - 339 Butu Buddha Gate, incense foundation_2
Having become familiar with the Wu Family members and setting aside Wu Zhi, who was like a child, people such as Wu Chengzhi and Wu Qingping among the four were certainly prodigies worth cultivating.
Even if he were to gain nothing from making a move against the Butu Buddha Gate, this trip with the Dao Body Puppet would not have been in vain.
Withdrawing his attention from Wu Zhi, Su Yu turned to Wu Chengzhi and Wu Qingping and asked, "What is the power of the Butu Buddha Gate in the Long Sky Region like?"
Upon hearing the name Butu Buddha Gate, even though Su Yu had already used Buddhist Law to dissolve the resentment and Evil Qi in Wu Chengzhi and Wu Qingping’s hearts,
the eyes of Wu Chengzhi and Wu Qingping could hardly conceal their emotional fluctuations.
Wu Chengzhi took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "Master, the Butu Buddha Gate’s force that has descended upon the Long Sky Region this time is extremely powerful, with a Buddha Master in the Void Realm Seventh Layer coming down, who is said to be one of the four Protectors of the Faith of the Butu Buddha Gate, known as the Buddha Master Chita."
"Apart from Buddha Master Chita’s descent, the Butu Buddha Gate also brought six protectors, each one a Buddha Master in the Hollow Void Realm."
"Therefore, in the Long Sky Region, the Butu Buddha Gate has a total of seven Buddha Masters, and aside from these, there are also two Dao Masters from the forces of the Immeasurable Immortal Alliance who have pledged allegiance to the Butu Buddha Gate and became their minions."
"As for the monastic forces under the Butu Buddha Gate... there are too many to count, but definitely more than fifty thousand."
"Now that the Butu Buddha Gate has already taken over nearly a decade of the Immeasurable Immortal Alliance, to say that they have converted all the people of the Alliance is probably not possible."
"However, the usable people of the Butu Buddha Gate, I fear, are truly innumerable."
Su Yu listened carefully to Wu Chengzhi’s narration.
He then inquired about the complete power structure of the Butu Buddha Gate, one Abbot, four Protectors of the Faith, six Chief Monks, and eighteen protectors—this was the complete force of the Butu Buddha Gate.
Their lair was located at the edge near the Buddha Realm, and if one only relied on ordinary Teleportation Arrays, traveling between the Long Sky Region and the lair of the Butu Buddha Gate would indeed take a considerable amount of time.
However, Wu Chengzhi knew that within the Changtian Immortal Gate, there existed an ancient Teleportation Array platform that connected to the Buddha Realm.
After a brief pause, Wu Chengzhi speculated further, "We once suspected that the reason why the Butu Buddha Gate could descend upon the Long Sky Region so quickly was very likely because they also controlled an ancient Teleportation Array platform leading to their lair... However, we have not found this Teleportation Array, so it is still just speculation."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu fell silent and pondered quietly.
A Buddha Master in the Void Realm Seventh Layer was just one of the four Protectors of the Faith of the Butu Buddha Gate?
Then what level of cultivation and strength did their Abbot possess?
Furthermore, if all eighteen protectors were Buddha Masters in the Hollow Void Realm, then altogether—wouldn’t the Butu Buddha Gate possess at least twenty-nine Buddha Masters!
Hiss—
Su Yu inwardly drew a sharp breath, utterly astonished.
The strength of the Butu Buddha Gate was even greater than he had imagined!
The only piece of good news might be that the target he now faced was not the lair of the Butu Buddha Gate, but only part of the force that had recently descended upon the Long Sky Region.
There were only seven Buddha Masters, with the strongest amongst them being merely in the Void Realm Seventh Layer.
Compared to the force that the Thunder Dragon Immortal Dynasty had sent to the Earth Immortal Mansion previously, it was far inferior.
Seeing Su Yu silent and unresponsive, Wu Chengzhi thought he was intimidated by the might of the Butu Buddha Gate and carefully ventured, "Master, the Butu Buddha Gate is very strong, and with our current cultivation, we are far from being their match."
"What I have been considering is to take Qingping and Little Zhi and leave the Long Sky Region, and only return for revenge when we have gained stronger capabilities."
"What do you think, Master?"
Su Yu shook his head slightly. Indeed, the Butu Buddha Gate was strong, but with just the forces they had in the Long Sky Region, it was not something he couldn’t handle.
However, his purpose in dealing with the Butu Buddha Gate was not to kill.
It was to take control of the Butu Buddha Gate and seize the foundation of their accumulated incense and wish power.
Therefore—
He had to capture this Buddha Master Chita and all his Buddha Masters!
If that was the case,
relying solely on his Golden Horned Elephant that could lift up the heavens might not be enough.
Perhaps the Golden Horned Elephant could kill the enemy, or defeat them, but capturing them alive would be difficult.
Whether a Dao Master or a Buddha Master, at the level of the Hollow Void Realm, their means and abilities to save their own lives were not something those in the Dividing Spirit Realm could compare to.
With both parties in the Hollow Void Realm, it was indeed very difficult to take prisoners.
"Don’t worry, just wait and see for a bit longer," Su Yu instructed.
Su Yu ordered, "During this period, try your best to gather intelligence on the Butu Buddha Gate."
After much consideration, Su Yu decided to have Black Guard Fifty-five come over and bring the superior-grade Dharma Treasure Refining Qi Pot.
He dared not use the Nine Layer Dao Tower anymore.
But the superior-grade Dharma Treasure Refining Qi Pot might be able to display extraordinary powers in the hands of the Gold Horned Carrying Elephant.
As long as he could swallow someone with the Refining Qi Pot and suppress them, he would have a way to try ’persuading’ the Buddha Lords of the Butu Buddha Gate to serve under him.
Time slowly passed by.
Su Yu took up residence in Tianmu Immortal City and spent most of his time in his cave dwelling, practicing the Molo Great Vajra Sutra and the Earth Treasury Undying Sutra, and guiding Wu Chengzhi, Wu Qingping, Wu Zhi, and others in their cultivation.
He also used Buddhist Law to continuously dissolve the resentment and Evil Qi in their hearts, allowing them to devoutly convert to the Buddha Gate and serve him.
As for Black Guard Fifty-five, he had already set out towards the Long Sky Region.
He calculated the time, "It might take about two years to get there."
Black Guard Fifty-five was the Black Riled-up Warrior puppet that he had brought out from the Ancient Yue Xian Mansion Immortal City. Initially, as a simple puppet, it was just a fourth-order top-notch puppet.
But Black Guard Fifty-five was somewhat special because the Divine Sense will that remained in the puppet merged with the puppet soul that was once Su Yu’s, spontaneously reviving its former God.
Over the years, Black Guard Fifty-five had been managing the territory that once belonged to Daqian’s Cultivation World’s Thousand Dragons Dynasty for Su Yu, collecting incense and wish power.
In addition to overseeing the Thousand Dragons region, Black Guard Fifty-five did not stop his own cultivation.
Utilizing the power of the puppet soul, he could consistently consume materials to upgrade and transform himself.
Since Black Guard Fifty-five’s breakthrough from a fifth-order inferior puppet, nearly two hundred years had passed.
Now, the puppet body of Black Guard Fifty-five had transformed and upgraded to a fifth-order middle grade, roughly equivalent to a Dividing Spirit Realm fifth layer cultivation.
Not very strong.
But—this was in less than two hundred years!
Moreover, given Black Guard Fifty-five’s uniqueness, who could know what his limits would be in the future?
As long as he had enough powerful materials, Black Guard Fifty-five could continue to upgrade and transform!
More than a year later.
On this day,
Wu Chengzhi returned to the cave dwelling with a solemn expression and reported to Su Yu, "Master, a storm is brewing. The Butu Buddha Gate has launched a surprise attack without declaring war, and they have covertly struck at the Changtian Immortal Gate!"
"The Changtian Immortal Gate has sent out a call for help to various powers, including the Mu Family of Tianmu Immortal City, asking for support to create an alliance—fearfully, the Changtian Immortal Gate might not be able to withstand the Butu Buddha Gate’s offensive!"
Su Yu slightly furrowed his brow, the moves of the Butu Buddha Gate were quite swift.
They were already planning to move against the former ruler of the Long Sky Region, the Changtian Immortal Gate, so soon!
If the Changtian Immortal Gate really fell to the Butu Buddha Gate, then the future of the Long Sky Region might indeed fall into the hands of the Butu Buddha Gate.
However....
For him, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.
The powers of either the Changtian Immortal Gate or the Long Sky Region had nothing to do with him, and if he truly took over the Butu Buddha Gate’s power in the Long Sky Region, those Immortal Sects might even become his adversaries.
If the Butu Buddha Gate completely took over the Long Sky Region, then he would have no concerns about what was behind him.
However, whether it was Wu Chengzhi or Su Yu, they clearly underestimated the strength of the Changtian Immortal Gate or the other forces in the Long Sky Region.
It wasn’t long after the Changtian Immortal Gate sought help that news of the Butu Buddha Gate’s defeat at the hands of the Changtian Immortal Gate reached Tianmu Immortal City.
More than six Immortal Sect forces from the Long Sky Region, totaling twelve Dao Masters, made a move and crushed the Buddha Lords of the Butu Buddha Gate. The Zhituo Buddha Master even suffered heavy injuries and retreated back to the stronghold of the Immeasurable Immortal Alliance.
While turmoil continued unabated in the Long Sky Region, Black Guard Fifty-five quietly arrived in Tianmu Immortal City and handed over the transformed superior-grade Dharma Treasure Refining Qi Pot to Su Yu.
