"You even know about the Dao Ancestor Realm?"

Venerable Miaoyin was somewhat surprised, but she felt relieved when she thought of the Azure Emperor and the Eastern Celestial Emperor.

She shook her head and said, "Probably not. Maybe with half a foot in. Among the Buddha, Demon Ancestor, God Lord, Azure Emperor, and Jade Emperor, the Buddha is the closest to the Dao Ancestor Realm."

"Of course… I feel that the Buddha has no chance to enter the Dao Ancestor Realm in this lifetime. The power of faith is ultimately not one's own power, but the power of all beings. This power is difficult to transform into one's own power and is easily backfired."

Venerable Miaoyin paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Han, and said, "If you want to go further, it's best to find another path. The path of the power of faith is impassable. The more you absorb, the more trouble you will have in the future. In the end, you may end up like the Buddha, with a split personality."

Jiang Han nodded slightly and said, "I'm going back to the Heavenly Court soon. Do you want me to send Xiaoyu'er over?"

"No need!"

Venerable Miaoyin said, "Let her stay in the Eastern Realm for now. She will be happier there. Moreover, the Wanfo Temple has been at war in recent years, so it's not safe to come here."

Jiang Han and Venerable Miaoyin chatted for a few more words before he took his leave. He didn't leave directly but went to see Xuanji.

As a result, Xuanji had been in seclusion recently, probably trying to break through to the Emperor Realm. Jiang Han didn't disturb her.

After resting for two days, he left the Miaoyin Realm under the escort of Shui Duoduo and teleported towards the Heavenly Court.

After teleporting for half a month, Jiang Han returned to the Eastern Realm. He didn't stop on the way, nor did he reveal his identity, because he was theoretically serving his sentence in the Abyss of Hell…

Jiang Han's return made his family happy and excited. Jiang Han asked Daoist Huangqi to stay in the Eastern Realm for a few days and entertain him well.

After being away for a few years, Jiang Nian had grown from a little loli into a beautiful woman, and Jiang An and Jiang Xin had grown a lot taller.

After reuniting with his family for two days, Jiang Henshui received the news and returned from the Celestial Court. The father and son entered the study.

Jiang Han roughly explained the situation of this trip. Of course, he didn't go into too much detail about his ambiguous encounters with Ye Wanqiu, only glossing over them in a few words.

"Got the Upper and Middle Volumes?"

Jiang Henshui frowned and said, "If you only cultivate to the Sixth Transformation, your combat power will still be at the Emperor Realm. According to what you said, you need to cultivate to at least the Seventh or Eighth Transformation to be comparable to the Celestial Emperor, right?"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "If the Nine Transformations Emperor cultivates to the Eighth Transformation, and if I can cultivate to the Eighth Transformation, my combat power will definitely be comparable to a mid-stage Celestial Emperor. The combat power of the Nine Transformations Emperor is said to be good, so cultivating to the Seventh Transformation should be about entering the Celestial Emperor Realm?"

Jiang Henshui nodded and reached out his hand, saying, "Let me examine the mark in your soul."

Jiang Han walked over, and Jiang Henshui placed his hand on his brow, sensing it for a full half an hour. He said with a solemn expression, "This mark is very mysterious and complex. I… can't break it."

"That's strange. Who exactly is this Ye Wanqiu? I've never heard of such a person. How can she set up such a mysterious mark at such a young age?"

Venerable Miaoyin couldn't break it, so it was normal that Jiang Henshui couldn't break it either. Jiang Han didn't mind.

He said, "I'll go visit the Azure Emperor with Yinghuo later to see if he can break it. Where's my father-in-law? Is he in the Celestial Court?"

"No!"

Jiang Henshui shook his head and said, "He went to inspect the God-Demon Battlefield, taking the Qintian Palace and a few other formation experts with him, preparing to rebuild the defense line of the God-Demon Battlefield. You should have heard about it, right? The Wanfo Temple is attacking the Tianmo Cave."

"I've heard about it!"

Jiang Han asked curiously, "What's the situation now? Can the Tianmo Cave hold on?"

"How can it possibly hold on?"

Jiang Henshui cast his gaze towards the map and said, "The Demon Race has been completely occupied in the God-Demon Battlefield. Thousands of Demon Race interfaces have been breached, and the first line of defense is about to be broken."

"That's so tragic?"

Jiang Han said with a solemn expression, "The strength of the Wanfo Temple is completely crushing the Demon Race? Then the Demon Race probably won't be able to hold on for too long? Will it eventually be annexed?"

"That's likely the case!"

Jiang Henshui said with concern, "The Wanfo Temple has nearly twenty Bodhisattvas, and the number of Vajras is frighteningly large."

"Xuelun died in battle, and the Demon Ancestor had an arm chopped off by your father-in-law last time. There's still Ancient God Fiendish Qi in his body, and it will take him several years to recover to his peak strength. Of course, even if he recovers, he's no match for the Buddha."

"I went to see Venerable Miaoyin when I came back."

Jiang Han said, "She meant that the Buddha has been absorbing the power of faith for many years, and his mind is splitting, unable to suppress the demonic thoughts in his heart."

"That's about right!"

Jiang Henshui sighed slightly, "One thought can make you a Buddha, and one thought can make you a demon. If the Buddha really becomes a demon, then it will be a calamity for all living beings."

Jiang Han asked, "What are the Heavenly Court and God King Mountain saying? Are they just watching the Wanfo Temple destroy the Demon Race?"

"Otherwise?"

Jiang Henshui asked rhetorically, "Are we going to help the Demon Race and unite to fight against the Wanfo Temple?"

Jiang Han thought about it and felt that it was impossible.

The Demon Race and God Race had just invaded the Heavenly Court, and how many people had died or been injured? Letting the Heavenly Court's soldiers and experts help the Demon Race now, no one would be willing.

From a broader perspective, the Human Race and God Race should join hands with the Demon Race to jointly resist the Wanfo Temple.

But not everyone is a saint, and not everyone can understand this principle. Not to mention the lower-level soldiers, even many Celestial Emperor experts would not be willing.

Jiang Henshui was silent for a moment and said, "The God Race has sent several envoys over, wanting to form an alliance with the Human Race. Now, the Celestial Court is arguing about it every day. The Azure Emperor and I are inclined to form an alliance, and most of the Celestial Emperors also agree, but only a small number of Celestial Emperors are firmly opposed."

"The God Race?"

Jiang Han had no good feelings for the God Race, but from a broader perspective, it was a good thing for the Heavenly Court and the God Race to form an alliance.

The Wanfo Temple is powerful. Without an alliance, neither the God Race nor the Heavenly Court can contend with it. They will be destroyed one by one by the Wanfo Temple.

"There's one thing…"

Jiang Henshui was silent for a moment and said, "The God Race has proposed to have a marriage alliance with the Heavenly Court to make the alliance between the two sides more stable. The God Race's intention is that either we marry a princess over there, or the God Race marries a princess over here."

Jiang Han blinked and said, "Then just marry one off. Marry Zhang Wanning over there, or have Zhang Xiongyi marry a God Race princess back, wouldn't that be good?"

"Heh heh!"

Jiang Henshui smiled and said, "The God Race envoy's meaning is that the God Lord intends to marry a princess to you."

"What?"

Jiang Han was dumbfounded. His eyes widened and he said, "Are the God Lord and the Buddha sick in the head?"

How many members of the God Race did he kill back then? He even charged into God King Mountain and slaughtered many of the God Lord's descendants? How many high-level descendants of the God Race died at his hands?

The God Lord still wants to marry a princess to him?

Does the God Lord have masochistic tendencies? Or is he sick in the head?

The Jade Emperor has many grandsons. Even if Zhang Xiongyi is crippled, aren't there other grandsons?

Moreover, many of the Jade Emperor's grandsons are not married. He has two wives, and the God Lord is marrying a noble God Race princess to him as a concubine?

"The God Lord isn't sick in the head."

Jiang Henshui said with a wry smile, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, marrying you is more valuable than marrying the Jade Emperor's grandson."
