Chapter 2041 Expanding Horizons
"King Pixiu, head east this way!"

"Rakshasa King, look over here, and come back once you find any trace of Tathagata Buddha!"

……

As they continued to move eastward, the demon kings were gradually dispersed.

"Sir, you..."

"The Buddhist disciples and I explored this longest eastward route. We heard that this road leads to the Southern Continent, passing through thousands of miles of poor mountains and bad waters. We think that Tathagata is very likely to be practicing somewhere along this road!"

"If only I knew where Tathagata is, I could use my magical powers to fly fifty miles by flapping my left wing, and a hundred miles by flapping my right wing," said the Peng Monster King regretfully.

No matter how fast you can fly, you still need to find people.

The fact that Peng Demon King is fast does not mean that he can search quickly. He can only search by flying slowly.

After some entrustment, the last demon king, Peng King, was separated among the demon kings.

There were also Zhang Xuezhou and Shigong Buddhist disciple riding on their thousand-mile horses, crossing mountains and rivers and heading eastward.

"Alas, this road has hollow caves, poisonous enemy mountains, poisonous miasma forests, and quicksand rivers. It is extremely difficult to travel through them without the ability to fly," said the Peng Demon King.

"It seems like they really want to kill Tathagata!"

After the Peng Demon King finished speaking, a silver demon fox emerged from his upright wings. It was obviously an incarnation of the Ten Thousand Fox King.

The King of Ten Thousand Foxes is the wisest among all the monsters. He has always felt that something is wrong, but the behavior of Zhang Xuezhou and Shigong Buddhist left him speechless.

"I heard that the Western Buddhist disciples seem to be holding some kind of ceremony. They seem to be selecting the only successor to the sect." The King of Ten Thousand Foxes said: "The reason why the Buddha disciple Shigong is targeting the Buddha disciple Tathagata is not entirely for our protection order. He probably wants to get rid of the Buddha disciple Tathagata and then become the successor of the sect."

"Isn't that great?" said the Peng Monster King, "If he kills Tathagata Buddha, he can give us a token. If he becomes the successor of the sect, he can give us a token even more. No matter what he does, he can give us a token!"

"That's true!"

"We have so many demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou, they can kill as many as they want, just don't target us and kill them," said the Demon King Peng, "As long as no one objects, it won't be difficult for him to give us the command token!"

"Indeed it is!"

The statement made by the Peng Demon King may represent the attitude of all the demon kings, even if the Wanhu King thinks it is correct.

There are so many demon kings in the world, there is no need to focus on killing these seven or eight.

If you want to get rid of demons and monsters, just kill other demons.

As long as they can avoid being selected by the sect's demon-killing cult, everything will be fine.

"I don't know what that Tathagata means. We didn't kill his father and mother, so why does he want to interfere and ruin our good deeds?" said the Monster King Peng dissatisfiedly.

"I heard that he has a loyal character..."

"He may be honest, but he is not very flexible. He will do everything according to the rules of Western religion. The Buddha will definitely stop us!"

"Too!"

"I'll go find that guy!"

The Peng Demon King flew up and the Wanhu King landed. He looked in the direction of Zhang Xuezhou and others, then looked in the direction the Peng Demon King went, and finally turned into a silver light and disappeared.

The demon kings each had their own destinations, while Zhang Xuezhou and Shigong Buddhist rode their horses straight towards the Kunlun Holy Land.

The two of them ran for dozens of miles without daring to talk nonsense, until the two horses were tired and refused to move forward, and then they jumped off their mounts.

"Your Xiniu Hezhou seems a bit desolate. I've been going back and forth but haven't found any big cities to eat and stay," Zhang Xuezhou spoke first.

"We passed by the capital of Sunga today, Rajagriha. We could have eaten there, but we couldn't go there because of the demon kings accompanying us." Shigong Buddha replied, "Are you hungry now?"

"Wangshe capital?" Zhang Xuezhou recalled the cities he had seen during his two trips over mountains and hills. He couldn't help but find it hard to believe. He felt that the scale of the city of Xiniu Hezhou was too far behind that of the Han Dynasty.

The capital of Rajagriha mentioned by Shigong was the most important capital of a country, but the city was like a village, and the city walls were not as thick as those of Chengdu.

"Our capital is already very big, so it's no problem to find a place to eat." Shigong Buddha looked around and said, "If you go east, the capital there is even smaller. Only the Great Yuezhi Kingdom has a few decent cities, but those cities are hundreds of miles apart, so it's very troublesome to get food!"

"indeed!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, without making any deliberate rebuttal, and followed Shigong Buddhist to hunt for food.

If the big city of Hezhou in Xiniu was of this size, Zhang Xuezhou could already imagine the rate of talent production here.

There is no absolute relationship between the size of a city and its output of talent, but being too small and backward will inevitably lead to a lack of education, and talents can only be selected from among the nobles.

However, the consequences of this small-scale talent screening were extremely serious. Even the Red Alliance suffered the backlash and had to expand the source of talent.

Zhang Xuezhou figured out the problem and began to understand the many incompatible situations in Xiniu Hezhou.

This is indeed a wild place with limited civilization.

If there are any special resources in Xiniu Hezhou, Zhang Xuezhou feels that the number of monsters here is very large, and it is very likely that some special monsters will be discovered.

Every demon king he had seen along the way was very unique, and each of them had something missing in their heads.

If someone with a flexible and powerful mind came here, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it would be no problem to establish a demon dynasty after some persuasion.

But there is no great reward in doing things in this wild land. The cities occupied by siege are small and dilapidated, and are not worth occupying.

"The unofficial history says that the King of Qin stopped conquering other countries after unifying the world because he looked down on other territories. I originally thought that he was just trying to flatter himself, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

There were many controversies surrounding the Qin Emperor more than a hundred years ago, and the construction of various city walls when the Qin Dynasty's army was extremely powerful was even more controversial.

Some people think that the Qin Emperor became timid as he grew older, others say that he was a bully at home and would be beaten by nomadic tribes once he went out. Still others believe that the Qin Emperor built city walls to keep people within the country in confinement and did not allow them freedom to go outside.

All kinds of criticisms have not stopped even to this day, and some ideas are so outrageous that Zhang Xuezhou doesn't even want to mention them.

But after traveling across tens of thousands of miles, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had already figured out the reason why they did not attack the outside world. This was simply because many areas lacked the value of occupying them.

"I have seen the Buddha Tathagata in the East. He should be heading west now." Zhang Xuezhou said, "If there is a chance, you may meet him!"

"He went to the Savage Dynasty in the East?"

"Is the East Land very wild?"

"The further east you go, the worse it gets. There aren't even a few towns. It must be very barbaric and backward. Our Xiniu Hezhou is still the best!"

Shigong Buddha broke a wooden stick for hunting, and there was still a hint of superiority on his face.

The farthest he reached was Dayuezhi. These countries with vast territories developed very slowly. They drove cattle, sheep and horses around everywhere and lacked even a fixed residence.

The Xiong Kingdom further east is also a nomadic kingdom, which is still expanding everywhere.

As for places that were suppressed and beaten by countries like the Xiong Kingdom, Shigong Buddhist did not think that the dynasties that were beaten had developed very well.

"Xi Niu Hezhou is good, Xi Niu Hezhou is great!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in support from time to time.

He flew in the wrong direction this time, crossing mountains and rivers. In addition to finding Shigong Buddha's son, the guide to the holy land of Kunlun, Zhang Xuezhou also identified the most prosperous territory at present.

Even though the Han Dynasty seemed to have many shortcomings and was plagued by internal strife, it was still a dynasty with advanced development.

And this kind of dynasty will inevitably bring the strongest fortune.

For Zhang Xuezhou, the Han Dynasty was his only choice and also his most correct choice.
