Wu Shattered Star River

Celestial Court, Jade Show Palace!

The northernmost tens of thousands of palaces in the entire Celestial Court belong to the Jade Emperor and his clan.

The Jade Show Palace has the word 'Jade,' naturally indicating that it's a residence for someone of very noble status.

The resident of the Jade Show Palace is Zhang Xiongji, the current eldest grandson!

Zhang Xiongji has been back for some time and has remained in the Jade Show Palace ever since. He refuses to see anyone who comes to visit, except for the Holy Mother of Yaochi.

After returning, Zhang Xiongji directly shattered his Immortal Seal and then re-condensed it, essentially rebuilding his cultivation.

With access to top-tier resources, rebuilding his cultivation is not difficult. At most, it will take several years to restore his current combat power, and it won't affect his future cultivation.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Footsteps sounded outside, and an old man hurried in, bowing and saying, "Fifth Prince, Immortal Emperor Tianmo requests an audience."

"No, no, didn't I say I'm not seeing anyone?"

Zhang Xiongji opened his eyes in a rage, then paused and asked, "Tianmo? Let him in."

He could refuse to see others, but Immortal Emperor Tianmo had shared hardships with him and had always been good to him, so he couldn't refuse to see him.

A moment later, Immortal Emperor Tianmo entered, bowed to Zhang Xiongji, and asked, "How is the Fifth Prince's recovery going?"

"Hmph!"

Zhang Xiongji snorted coldly and said, "I've just condensed the Immortal Seal. It will take at least seven or eight years to restore my combat power."

Tianmo's eyes flickered, and he said, "Fifth Prince, I just received news that Jiang Han has come to the Divine-Demon Battlefield."

"What?"

Zhang Xiongji's eyes turned cold, and murderous aura surged from his body as he said, "Does he really treat the Divine-Demon Battlefield and the Celestial Court as his backyard? Coming and going as he pleases? Didn't my grandfather send someone to capture him?"

Zhang Xiongji already knew about the return of the Longevity Immortal Emperor. The Longevity Celestial Emperor and Jiang Henshui had a falling out, and Jiang Henshui refused to turn back.

Logically speaking, after the Jade Emperor received the news, he would definitely send a strong person to the Divine-Demon Battlefield to capture Jiang Han.

"No!"

Immortal Emperor Tianmo shook his head and said, "He's holding the Buddha Relic… He's going to the Myriad Buddha Hall."

"I see…"

Zhang Xiongji's eyes were icy, and he snorted, "Let him be arrogant for a while. Once I break through to the Emperor level, I will definitely grind his bones to ashes."

"Actually…"

Immortal Emperor Tianmo hesitated for a moment and said, "Fifth Prince, I think Jiang Han going to the Myriad Buddha Hall is an opportunity. If Your Highness also goes, there might be a chance to kill him."

"Hmm?"

Zhang Xiongji was stunned, his eyes lit up, but after pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, he's holding the Buddha Relic, we can't intercept him. We can't use force at the Myriad Buddha Hall. Even if we provoke him into a duel, he can't possibly fight you, right?"

"With my current combat power, going to duel him is just courting death. I can't kill him at the Myriad Buddha Hall."

"Your Highness doesn't need to do it yourself!"

Immortal Emperor Tianmo sneered and said, "If I remember correctly, Your Highness is a Buddha Child and is a disciple of Void Treasury Bodhisattva, right?"

"The Void Treasury Bodhisattva's chief disciple, Vajra Wrathful Leaf, is in charge of the Buddhist secret realm. We just need to find Vajra Wrathful Leaf and have him choose a more dangerous secret realm during the Buddha Child Assembly…"

"A more dangerous secret realm?"

Zhang Xiongji frowned slightly and nodded, "That is indeed a way. The secret realms are different for each Buddha Child Assembly. But even if it's a more dangerous secret realm, Jiang Han might not necessarily die. He… his combat power is still very strong."

Immortal Emperor Tianmo chuckled sinisterly and said, "Has Your Highness forgotten that Jiang Han killed many members of the Purple-Gold Divine Clan and the Heavenly Demons in the Illusory Secret Realm?"

"This time, the Divine Clan and the Demon Clan will probably send some chosen ones. At that time, they will definitely want to avenge their clansmen."

"That makes sense!"

Zhang Xiongji immediately perked up, stood up, paced back and forth in the hall, and said, "The Divine Clan and the Demon Clan have a tendency to unite. If they learn that Jiang Han has gone, they might unite again to deal with Jiang Han."

"We can also… do some tricks!"

Immortal Emperor Tianmo chuckled sinisterly twice and suddenly transmitted a few sentences to Zhang Xiongji. The latter's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he nodded, "That's right, that's right! Okay, I'll go ask for permission to go to the Myriad Buddha Hall."

"No!"

Immortal Emperor Tianmo shook his head and said, "You can't tell anyone about this. We'll go secretly. We won't publicly show our faces even if we go to the Myriad Buddha Hall. Otherwise, it won't be good if word gets out, and Jiang Han will be on guard."

"Just say that you want to return to your fief to cultivate in seclusion, and then I'll escort you back. Then we'll secretly go to the Myriad Buddha Hall. You're a Buddha Child, so you can easily enter Mount Ling."

"Right!"

Zhang Xiongji nodded repeatedly, secretly praising Immortal Emperor Tianmo for his thoughtfulness. If their whereabouts were exposed, Jiang Han would definitely be on guard. He might even not compete for the position of Buddha Child. If Jiang Han doesn't enter the secret realm, no one can hurt him.

Immediately, Zhang Xiongji went to find the Holy Mother of Yaochi and said that he wanted to return to his fief to cultivate in seclusion—Zhang Xiongji had an Immortal Kingdom fief.

The Holy Mother of Yaochi didn't think much of it, assuming that Zhang Xiongji wanted to keep a low profile for a while, lick his wounds, and restore his combat power after suffering such humiliation this time.

She kindly encouraged and comforted him, and also bestowed upon him many top-grade divine medicines and spiritual herbs, and issued an order for Immortal Emperor Tianmo to escort Zhang Xiongji back.

Zhang Xiongji left with Immortal Emperor Tianmo in a low-key manner, genuinely heading back to his Immortal Kingdom via teleportation.

Once they entered the Immortal Kingdom, the two used divine medicines to disguise themselves, secretly left, and entered the Divine-Demon Battlefield, flying towards Buddha Light City.

…

Buddha Light City was already very lively, and many young elites from various races had entered Buddha Light City and teleported to Mount Ling.

"Whoosh!"

A huge warship came breaking through the air from the south, and the warship stopped outside Buddha Light City.

A group of people on the deck looked down at Buddha Light City, all with faces full of surprise.

Buddha Light City is not large. The city walls of the entire city are very low, but there are many buildings in the city, all of which are uniformly golden and shimmering small temples, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye can see.

What shocked everyone was not these strange buildings, but the fact that the entire city seemed to have a faint sound of chanting, resounding in all directions and echoing in the sky.

Moreover, faint strands of silk floated over from the void in all directions.

Everyone sensed it and discovered that these strands were actually soul power. It was estimated that anyone whose level could reach Immortal Lord could sense it.

Immortal Emperor TianTuo once said that there were 18,000 monks in Buddha Light City, day and night, performing super salvation for the souls who died in the Divine-Demon Battlefield.

Jiang Han previously thought it was a show, but seeing this scene at this moment, his heart was somewhat shaken.

These strands of soul power clearly fluctuated. There was constant fighting in the Divine-Demon Battlefield, and countless lives were scattered and lost. Those remnant souls dissipated in the heavens and the earth, becoming lonely ghosts.

Now, the monks of Buddha Light City have gathered these remnant souls. Perhaps they can really allow their souls to find peace, or give them a chance to be reincarnated?

The sound of chanting was vast, resounding between heaven and earth.

After listening for a while, Jiang Han and the others inexplicably felt much peace and tranquility in their hearts, and the baleful aura and killing intent on their bodies all faded a lot…

At this moment, Jiang Han suddenly had a thought. Perhaps he had wronged the Buddha?

Perhaps there really is great benevolence and love in this world, a saint who has the world and all living beings in their heart, and is full of great compassion?
