Chapter 1569: Holy Ancestor Wu Lin
Dead Bone Domain.
Located in the east of the Lonely Sun Continent, further east is the boundless ocean.
The White Buddha City in the Dead Bone Domain is one of the few large cities belonging to the Buddhist sect in the Dead Bone Domain, and it is also the only way for all Buddhist monks in the Golden Light Domain to enter and exit the Lonely Sun Continent.
Xiao Lin spent thousands of first-level fairy stones to get the qualification to use this cross-domain teleportation array and teleport to the White Buddha City.
As soon as he entered the White Buddha City, Xiao Lin saw countless ethnic groups in the city. These people did not have magical powers, but were just ordinary mortals. Although they were of different races, they had one thing in common, that is, they were all pale and thin, and their bones were bony, as if they were skeletons wrapped in a skin bag.
Especially on both sides of the wide streets, many people knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and chanted something.
Xiao Lin also showed a puzzled expression when he saw this scene. The spiritual world is vast and boundless. Although there are many mortals, they are rich in material. After all, immortal cultivators do not need food, so Xiao Lin almost never saw ordinary mortals who could not eat in the Holy Moon Continent, no matter what race they were.
But here, he actually saw such a scene, which really puzzled Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin walked on the street, watching people coming and going. From time to time, some Buddhist monks would bow their heads and pass by in a hurry. Their figures were like dreams. One step out, often a distance of dozens of feet.
These Buddhist monks all had a deep Buddhist cultivation, but they never looked at the hungry people on both sides of the street, and there was not even a trace of pity in their eyes.
Xiao Lin also noticed that the monks in this city were not only Buddhist monks, but also a few immortal monks and even demon monks wrapped in black robes. In addition, the cultivators of various races were also varied and colorful.
This also made Xiao Lin feel relieved. He was worried that if all the people in Baifo City were Buddhist monks, wouldn't he, a cultivator, be too conspicuous? Once he was noticed, it would not be a good thing.
"Huh?" After walking in the city for half an hour, Xiao Lin discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, among the beggar-like people on both sides of the street, many demon monks began to appear.
These demon monks, with ragged clothes and terrified expressions on their faces, seemed to be no better than those skinny ordinary mortals.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel strange, so he came to the side of the road and asked a demon monk who looked relatively good, who was about thirty years old: "My fellow Taoist, what is the reason that made you come to Baifo City for refuge? Aren't Buddhism and Demonism incompatible?"
The demon monk heard this and showed a surprised expression on his face: "Did you come to Baifo City from other places and don't know the current situation of the Dry Bone Domain?"
Seeing Xiao Lin nod, the man also sighed and then started talking.
It turned out that the south of the Dry Bone Domain was still controlled by the Demon Domain. The demon forces were headed by the [Demon Soul Sect], which controlled dozens of large and small demon sects, and were in a confrontation with the White Buddha Temple. The two forces had been hostile to each other for tens of thousands of years. Recently, as the demon monks began to shrink, the Buddhist sect also temporarily stopped spreading their beliefs, so the Buddhist and demon sects in the Dry Bone Domain had been at peace for thousands of years.
Until more than ten years ago, all this suddenly changed. The Demon Soul Sect originally sacrificed 81 Demon Soul Banners, which were the treasures of the Demon Dao and the foundation of the Demon Soul Sect. Each Demon Soul Banner collected hundreds of millions of spirits. Once sacrificed, dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, ghosts cried and gods howled. According to legend, even the four-fruit Buddha and Bodhisattva could not resist. Under these endless demon souls, their golden bodies dissipated and their bodies and souls were destroyed.
The White Buddha Temple also knew that with its own strength, even if it came out in full force, it would at most fight the Demon Soul Sect to a loss, and it would not be able to truly destroy this great demon sect that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
Although the Demon Soul Sect had 81 Demon Soul Banners, it also knew that the Buddhist Sect was powerful. Not to mention that the White Buddha Temple was one of the 100 upper houses, and there were countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas inside. Even if the Demon Soul Sect could destroy the White Buddha Temple, it would be rebuilt again under the call of the Buddha of the Great Bodhi Temple. Moreover, if it attracted several upper houses to besiege, the Demon Soul Sect would only be destroyed.
Once the Demon Soul is destroyed, it will not be able to make a comeback. After all, the Demon Sect is not like the Buddhist Sect, which is a monolithic entity, but each sect is independent. Otherwise, with the overall strength of the Demon Sect, it is impossible for the Buddhist Sect to always be suppressed.
But one day more than ten years ago, the Demon Soul Sect suddenly announced that the original sect leader had died suddenly, and the new sect leader called himself the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin. The eighty-one Demon Soul Banners were originally controlled by the eight elders and the sect leader of the Demon Soul Sect, each of whom controlled nine banners. After the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin took over the Demon Soul Sect, he not only re-refined the nine Demon Soul Banners left by the original sect leader, but also killed countless creatures for this, even the Demon Dao monks were not spared, making the nine Demon Soul Banners twice as powerful.
Then he recalled several elders who controlled the Demon Soul Banners and tried to take back the Demon Soul Banners.
The Demon Soul Banner was originally the sacred weapon of the Demon Soul Sect. The reason why it was held by eight elders and the Sect Master was because of its powerful power. Once the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners were combined into one, they could set up the Demon Heaven Five Prisons Formation, turning an area into a demonic realm and killing all living things.
Even the cruel and murderous demon cultivators did not dare to use this kind of heaven-defying magic formation lightly. After all, the karma caused by excessive killing was something that no one could bear.
But this Wu Lin Saint Ancestor seemed to be indifferent to karma and killed at will. After countless years of sacrifice and refinement, the spirits in each of the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners were close to hundreds of millions, but Wu Lin Saint Ancestor seemed to think it was not enough. He not only used new materials to sacrifice the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners again, but also added tens of millions of spirits in them.
You should know that these tens of millions of spirits are all cultivators who have practiced the magic skills. Of course, there are also many Buddhist monks who have cultivated their primordial spirits. It is said that in the short ten years since he took charge of the Demon Soul Sect, he has slaughtered several cities controlled by Buddhist monks and killed countless Buddhist monks. For this, he even alarmed the three Sun Bodhisattvas of the White Buddha Temple.
The three Mahavairocanas were all compassionate Buddhist masters, and they all made great aspirations to save all living beings. Therefore, the three of them went to the Demon Soul Sect to try to persuade the Wulin Saint Ancestor to let go of his murderous heart and save the dead souls.
Unfortunately, after the three Mahavairocanas went to the Demon Soul Sect, they disappeared without a trace.
This shocked the entire White Buddha Temple. The Mahavairocanas were more powerful than the Mahayana cultivators. Even the Spiritual Saint Ancestor could not kill the three Mahavairocanas at the same time.
But the three disappeared silently in the Demon Soul Sect. The most important thing was that the Yuanfo lamps left by the three Mahavairocanas in the White Buddha Temple were all extinguished. In other words, the three had been annihilated, and even the Buddha's golden body and soul had not escaped.
This shocked the three Mahavairocanas who had been sitting in meditation in the White Buddha Temple, and they quickly notified the Great Bodhi Temple of the matter through secret methods.
The loss of three Mahavairocanas at once was something that had never happened in the history of Buddhism. The three Mahavairocanas did not dare to act rashly. Although the Mahavairocanas and Mahavairocanas had different paths of cultivation, their magical powers were almost the same. Since the Demon Soul Sect could kill three Mahavairocanas at once, it would be possible to kill the three Mahavairocanas.
Therefore, before the order was issued by the Great Bodhi Temple, the White Buddha Temple closed the Buddhist gates and opened the temple protection formation. Even the disciples who were traveling outside were called back.
The White Buddha City was only a thousand miles away from the White Buddha Temple. Most of the skinny mortals and monks that Xiao Lin saw had escaped from the Demon Dao area. Many of them even escaped the killing of the Demon Soul Banner by chance and saved their lives. They entered the White Buddha City to seek shelter.
What shocked Xiao Lin was that the Wulin Saint Ancestor had only snatched thirty-six Demon Soul Banners, and had not really gathered all eighty-one Demon Soul Banners, nor had he set up the legendary extremely terrifying Demon Heaven Five Prisons Formation, turning a hundred thousand miles of land into a hell.
Xiao Lin had never thought that on this Lone Sun Continent, the Demon Dao was so prosperous, not only occupying nearly half of the entire continent, but now there is a demon giant like the Demon Soul Sect.
Moreover, Xiao Lin learned from this person that there are three major demon sects in the Demon Realm, which are the most powerful and each controls several domains. The Demon Soul Sect is not one of the three major demon sects, but only a first-class sect under the three major demon sects.
If it were in the past, even the White Buddha Temple might not pay much attention to it, but now the terrifying strength it has shown has even frightened several Great Sun Buddhas in the White Buddha Temple.
After listening to it, Xiao Lin also thought it was not good.
Since the Wu Lin Saint Ancestor killed three Great Sun Bodhisattvas, he has already formed a deadly feud with the Buddhist Sect. Xiao Lin knows that the Buddhist Sect will never let this go.
Since the Wu Lin Saint Ancestor dared to kill three Great Sun Bodhisattvas, he is naturally a fearless person. It is possible that after he gets all the Demon Soul Banners, he will directly attack the White Buddha Temple.
Isn't it dangerous for me to stay in this White Buddha City?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin planned to leave the White Buddha Temple immediately. His purpose was not to get involved in the battle between Buddha and Demon, but to find a way to enter the Great Bodhi Temple and obtain the complete practice of Vajra Meditation.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to leave the White Buddha City, he saw a huge pressure suddenly coming from the void. The pressure shocked the entire White Buddha City, and then dark clouds gathered from the void above his head, and then rotated and surged in all directions.
The dark clouds that suddenly appeared were not just one, but also swarms of dark clouds in the distance, turning into vortices, and instantly covering the entire sky.
Baifo City, which had just been clear, suddenly fell into a pitch-black darkness.
Horrified cries suddenly rang out around Xiao Lin, and the entire city began to become chaotic.
Within the dark clouds, bursts of ghosts and wolves howled, miserable and miserable, and endless figures could be vaguely seen shuttling through the dark clouds, and huge faces would occasionally emerge from the huge demonic cloud.
Xiao Lin also did some research on the ritual of the Demonic Soul Banner, and even studied it specifically when he was in the mortal world, but after he ascended to the spiritual world, he had already given up all the magic cultivation methods and did not continue to study and practice.
But he knew that these huge faces that emerged were actually the demon gods in the Demon Soul Banner. The countless spirits in the Demon Soul Banner were all based on the Demon God and became the Demon God's incarnations. Any spirit represented a chance for the Demon God to be reborn. Unless all the spirits in the Demon Soul Banner were killed, the Demon God's ability to be reborn could be cut off and he could be truly killed.
But each of these Devil Soul Banners contains hundreds of millions of spirits, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of lives for the Devil God, which is equivalent to immortality.
The power of the Devil Soul Banner also depends on the number of Devil Gods in it. As the realm of the person holding the Devil Soul Banner increases and the magical power increases, the Devil Gods he sacrifices will also be more powerful. Moreover, the Devil Gods also need the blood and essence of the Devil Soul Banner owner to feed them, so that they can communicate with the owner and reach the state of being able to control them at will.
In the Devil Dao, there are many Devil Dao sects that sacrifice the Devil Soul Banner, and most of them are passed down as the treasure of the Devil Dao sect. The main reason is that the more spirits the Devil Soul Banner devours, the higher the realm of the spirits, and the greater the power of the Devil Soul Banner.
Moreover, the methods of refining the Devil Soul Banner are also varied and quite different, all of which are methods passed down from the True Devil Realm.
At this moment, Baifo City had long been suppressed by the dark demonic energy. Endless spirits were flying over the city, so dense that people's scalps were numb.
Xiao Lin was also shocked. This posture was obviously intended to massacre the city. Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He originally planned to leave quickly. He didn't want to be cannon fodder, but he was a step slower after all. Now he could only take one step at a time.
Above the void, as the circles of demonic clouds turned into huge whirlpools, a black-robed man emerged from the whirlpool. His body and face were all wrapped in black robes, so it was unclear what these black-robed men looked like and how old they were.
But beside these black-robed men, there was a demon soul banner that reached the sky and the earth, surrounded by black air, and countless spirits wandered around, making bursts of roaring sounds.
Xiao Lin glanced and saw that there were eight such black-robed men. He immediately understood that these eight people should be the eight elders of the Demon Soul Sect. Even if they were not, they should be the banner bearers selected by the Wu Lin Saint Ancestor.
As for the real master, the Wu Lin Saint Ancestor, he had not yet appeared.
"Amitabha~~"
Just when everyone in Baifo City was at a loss, a loud Buddhist chant, like a huge bell, shook in the void, and the rolling dark clouds immediately dispersed in all directions.
Xiao Lin also saw that in the north of Baifo City, thousands of miles away, a huge Buddha rose into the sky, about a hundred feet high. The golden light on his body, like a substance, dispelled a large area of demonic energy.
The Buddha had a compassionate expression on his face, slowly raised his head, and his eyes shot out two golden light beams, piercing through the endless demonic energy, shooting into the demonic cloud, and disappeared without a trace.
"Master Wu Lin, are you really going to go to war with my Buddhist Sect?"()
