Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Kicking you out of the sect is for you to find him. No matter what you do and pay what price, you have to get him to join the Buddhist sect. Even if you can’t, you need him to help us. Jingyin, are you willing to devote yourself to our Buddhism?”

Jingyin didn’t immediately agree, instead going into deep thought. A few breaths later, she opened her mouth and asked, “Jingyin wants to know the reason. Even if this person formed unlimited light and endless darkness as a foundation, he doesn’t need to enter our Buddhist school.”

“Reason?”

Linghai was startled and caught a little off guard. In his eyes, with how sincere Jingyin was as well as her upbringing, she should have agreed without any hesitation.

Then, he also entered deep thought. A long-time later, he said, “Jingyin, do you know about the theory of the pure land of Amitabha in the west, the world of sumati?”

“I do!” Jingyin nodded her head, “Being pure means going far away from the pain and suffering of common people to reach a param-bhava state. Life, getting old, getting sick, dying, grievances, the pain of loved ones leaving, unable to get what one wants, the various sufferings. If one has these sufferings, one will never be pure. People of param-bhava will be able to live without any worry. The pure land is the land of param-bhava.”

However, this sumati world was ideal. It was only a concept of Amitabha.

Even this Buddhist ancestor, the western pure land he had control of now was just a rough shape.

“That’s right!” Linghai nodded his head, Proceeding towards this param-bhava state is the essence of our Buddhist teachings. It is what all disciples wish for. However, in these ten thousand years, the so called pure land was just a dream, illusionary and indiscernible. One can see it, but one couldn’t touch it. It is why the various buddhas decided to open another universe out of these millions of worlds!”

Jingyin was shocked, looking right at Linghai. She knew that with his identity, he didn’t need to lie. She also suspected why Linghai would know about such secrets.

Although he was in the cloud world and looked like a normal white fat monk, Jingyin knew that Linghai had already achieved the arhat stage.

He was the actual true head of their Jingtu Sect.

She thought back to the words before, thinking back to the north wall collapsing. Jingyin slowly understood why Linghai would want her to do such a preposterous matter.

“So the buddhas are confident to open up a complete world. 3 days ago, they realized that the path our buddhist school grasped had weaknesses–the neglect of the real foundations...”

Jingyin understood, but she still had questions in her heart, “Since they know the reason, why can’t our sect find someone to cultivate in that path? As long as we reveal some news, the disciples in our sect should be glad to do so?”

Linghai sighed,v”How is it so simple? Although the few buddha ancestors have limitless power, after all, they aren’t omnipotent. Your senior master has also tried to deduce it. However, I was only filled with despair. To cultivate in his method, one must have a special body to be able to accept both light and darkness, yin and yang. One also must be extremely talented to gather up at least 18 true spiritual talismans. One needs to include most of the world’s laws. Just these 2 points alone can exclude nearly all our disciples. Apart from that, the basic cultivation methods needed are impossible to find! To succeed we need at least tens of thousands of years, maybe even a hundred thousand.”

Shock flashed across Jingyin’s pure eyes. She thought to herself that these conditions were indeed really strict.

If it wasn’t that she heard about the change 3 days ago, that the buddhas sent a decree, she really couldn’t believe that someone could form this path.

Light and dark in the same body were impossible.

She kept silent and calm as she looked forward at the 3 Buddha statues in front of her. Jingyin sighed, “I will try my best. Whether or not I can succeed will depend on destiny.”

When Linghai heard that, he was delighted. He didn’t feel worried at all, “That is for the best!”

He also said, “From today on, although you are back to common life. But our Jingtu Sect is still your home. We are your shield and you can ask for help anytime. If you feel that it is impossible to succeed, you can come back.”

Seeing Jingyin nod her head silently, his expression was complicated. Then, he shouted towards this outside,” Zhiyuan! Get your ass in here and send your junior sister to ten thousand buddhas vast habitat!”

After a long while, there wasn’t any reply. Just as Linghai frowned, the voice of another disciple replied in fear, “great senior master! Senior master Zhiyuan left for common people vast habitat 30 minutes ago. He should be going over for the battle...”

Linghai’s brows furrowed, furiously scolding out, “That brat, how bold! A person like him who learns Buddhism goes to watch others fight in the sword. What is the use?”

Jingyin burst out into a laugh, the bitterness and depressing feeling in her heart slightly disappeared. She was also quite curious, how were people like Tanqiu and Jueyu like?

Were they the peak sword experts of the cloud world in over hundred of years like what Zhiyuan said?

※※※※

In Common people vast habitat within that space fissure. There were more and more people gathering.

At the start, only a few thousand people rushed over to watch the battle, along with the ten thousand disciples who ran out from the common people path.

As time went on, more and more cultivators rushed over: 20 thousand, 30 thousand, 50 thousand, 70 thousand...

If they didn’t have a good position, they forcefully opened up pieces of the void! There were even people who didn’t bother about the chaos in the void, sitting between numerous black cracks, wishing that they could be closer the better.

“Within a hundred feet, it is the unbreakable sword domain! Tanqiu is so arrogant!”

“Then can you break it?”

“I can’t, but don’t forget that there is still the head of the 3 pinnacle swords!”

“You mustn’t forget that this Tanqiu is only 16...”

“How strong! This trip is worth it. It truly is a peak sword battle! Oh? This Tanqiu’s sword technique attainments are higher than that of sword prince Jueyu...”

“It is the great extinction sword! Like its name suggests, although I am grade 8, I can’t take a single sword from that person...”

“Even a grade 9 expert might not be able to!”

There were many deep conversations, but they all tried to lower their voices or use spells to block the space. Most of them were fully focused on the scenes in front of them, totally imprinted in their memory.

Even if they didn’t know the secrets within, they could go back slowly to comprehend.

Watching on live to experience the changes in heaven and earth spiritual energy. 2 strong sword intents clashing. The aura rose but also decreased. It was much better than looking at those recordings after the battle.

“Why is the common people evil demon path so lucky? To have Shui Lingbo Fangwen, more recently Xuexi also escaped from Tailing Sect. I heard that that day he broke through to grade 9. 20 years later, they also actually have such a demonic sword path genius...”

“With this kid here, his strength is enough to compare with half a grade 9. I also heard that he is an unparalleled general talent. In the end, we need to be careful about these 3 sects and 6 schools!” action

In mid air, the few common people palace elders all looked weird. Both were excited whilst a little worried.

Zong Shou challenged Jueyu. 6 hours and 13234 swords later, they were still going even.

10 thousand feet around, no matter how Jueyu attacked, he couldn’t invade it a single it. It was worthy of its name of unbreakable sword domain!

Such results were truly surprising, helping to spread the name of common people path. This peak sword path fight between the two was something that even benefitted the likes of them.

However, when they looked at the tens of thousands of cultivators gathered there, they were feeling uneasy.

“There is no need to worry, 6 hours ago senior master Fengtian has already returned to the sect!”

Like he knew what the few elders were worried about, Fangwen said expressionlessly.

However, he was just forcefully acting calm. As the common people palace head, he was clear about the meaning this battle brought to common people path.

Gathering the hearts of the 3 sects and 6 schools, obtaining more disciples, threatening the other sects. There were so many benefits that couldn’t be put into words...

The few elders also relaxed. Since there were 2 god realm experts there, using this vast habitat, even if the sects attacked together they would be perfectly fine.

“From today on people of the world will know. Our common people path has one more one origin great formless sword...”

“What I am worried about are those disciples who aren’t at grade 7. Their foundations aren’t stable and witnessing this battle isn’t a blessing.”

The one who spoke was an old man with a curly beard. He used his fingers to replace the sword as he drew in the air.

He was fully immersed in the swords that Zong Shou and Jueyu had displayed.

Those 2 people were at the peak of sword intent, where many in the spirit realm hadn’t even reached yet.

Eclectic, breaking out from the realm that they should be in, having out of their level sword path attainments. Even in the eyes of people like that, it was quite shocking.

“No worries!”

A voice suddenly rang up. 2 people arrived beside them.

“Those that are not talented will be unable to break through to grade 7. Even if they avoid it, they will still be unable to breakthrough. On the contrary, if they could comprehend something from this battle, then it would be a great fortune for them. Those who have great talents who be able to obtain loads of benefits. The battle between martial cultivators is a small difference will lead to a huge gulf in skill. Often, in just ten strikes, victory would be decided. It is tough to find enemies with similar skills. Such a dazzling battle is tough to see even in a hundred years.

The one who spoke was Fengtian. The 3rd generation elders around all bowed. However, he waved his sleeves to stop them.

At this moment, Fangwen had a worried expression, “Senior master Zong Shou is going to shock the cloud world. His fame is too huge! As they say, a lone tree is easily destroyed by the wind...”

“If he can’t bear the blow of the wind, then how will he grow into a huge tree that could command the world?”

Hanfang laughed, filled with disdain, “Since his light can’t be covered, then there is no need to cover it. Let junior brother test his sword on those random people. From today on, within the cloud world, he can move anywhere unhindered!”

Fangwen was startled. Then, he came back to his senses. To be able to fight Jueyu and not be defeated, before the spiritual wave, Zong Shou could indeed move unhindered!
