Chapter 155 - 152: Randeng and Xuandu Resolve the Conflict
This was originally a minor battle in the mortal world, but because Ming River wanted to compete for destiny, he let his disciples use his two Innate Divine Swords to kill people. As of now, it had evolved into a fierce conflict between the Buddhism and Daoism sects.
The Buddhism and Daoism sects had always been suppressing themselves, trying to keep the struggle contained within a small scale. However, this time, it had exceeded everyone’s expectations. First, the Bodhisattvas took action, followed by the Golden Immortals of the Daoist sect, igniting the old grievances of the Interpretation Sect. After Daoist Equal to Heaven and Yang Jian killed two Arhats, the Buddhist entry of the Buddha finally couldn’t sit still and deployed a very high-ranked Shiqi Buddha.
Zhuang Zhou was originally prepared to quietly watch the changes, but he didn’t expect a Buddha to take action from the Buddhist sect. He too could no longer sit idle and went to stop Shiqi Buddha, engaging him in battle.
The Human Sages of the Daoist religion and the Supreme Right Enlightenment of Buddhism; this fierce conflict made the scene even more chaotic.
Just as Indra was about to go on a killing spree, he was stopped by someone; this person was the Heavenly Demon King Poxun.
"Big brother!" upon seeing Poxun, Indra hurriedly paid his respects.
"The situation is out of control. The fierce conflict between Buddhism and Daoism has already killed two Arhats. I’m afraid it will draw disaster upon my Asura clan! I have already been targeted by Great Emperor Ziwei, and Hooked Chen Great Emperor from the Hooked Chen Palace has also emerged. Do not act rashly now to avoid a calamity," Poxun grasped Indra’s arm and said coldly.
Seeing the intense battle between the Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist sect and the Golden Immortals of the Daoist sect, even seeing the Human Sages and the Buddhas of Supreme Right Enlightenment taking action, Indra felt as if his heart was pounding. Although the Netherworld Blood Sea was powerful, it was still too weak compared to the enormous entities of Buddhism and Daoism. Now, with the appearance of Ming River’s two divine swords, all order was disrupted, making the Netherworld Blood Sea likely to become the cannon fodder of the two sects.
Poxun, with his high status in the Netherworld Blood Sea next to Ming River, also had a very high vision and could see the root of this chaos. The conflict between Buddhism and Daoism had now spiraled out of control. Old grievances of the Interpretation Sect had been drawn in, and when enemies met, it was naturally a fight to the death. Guanyin was driven to desperation by Guang Chengzi’s Sky-Overshadowing Seal, vomiting blood and barely managing to hold on. If the battle continued for a hundred more rounds, one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas might fall!
Poxun’s cold sweat had already drenched his undershirt as he muttered to himself, "The ancestor miscalculated. This time, supporting the Yellow Turbans might have been a mistake, getting calculated into the Buddhist sect’s schemes. The Daoist sect is also despicable, staying silent obviously to take this opportunity to diminish the prestige of the Buddhist sect! Otherwise, why would Guang Chengzi and these Golden Immortals hide in the dark?"
Poxun was actually just observing. When he arrived, he had already noticed several formidable Mixed Yuan Golden Immortals lurking around. The Netherworld Blood Sea had gotten involved too deeply this time. The fate of the human path was not so easily contested. If not careful, it could just become cannon fodder between the massive forces of Buddhism and Daoism.
