Chapter 305 -187: Buddha Said, Undefeated
“`
A thousand miles of darkness without daylight.
Only the occasional burst of ghostly fire flared up from the ground, providing some light, illuminating the slowly moving white bones.
The only thing that made Chen Qing feel a bit strange was that among these bone mounds, there were surprisingly two monks, one large and one small.
They wore blue monk robes, standing in the boundless wilderness, sitting cross-legged on a mountain of bones, chanting sutras to deliver the souls of the dead.
Chen Qing asked, “When did these two monks arrive?”
Jin Buhuan glanced over, “They should have arrived in the past few months, haven’t seen them before. Blue-robed monks, they are monks from Wu Gou Temple.”
Chen Qing had heard of this name, but he rarely understood matters concerning monks.
“Wu Gou Temple?”
Jin Buhuan didn’t elaborate, just said, “There is a Buddha in the temple.”
“Alive.”
Chen Qing asked, “Is it considered a Great Sect?”
Jin Buhuan replied, “The West Desert Buddhist sect is interconnected, but there are many sects.”
“When considered as a whole, they should be the strongest Great Sect in the world.”
“It’s just that some Buddhist practices differ slightly, so there is some contention, and each presides over their realm.”
“Matters of the Buddhist sect, we practitioners don’t quite understand.”
“It’s always mysterious and secretive.”
As the two were chatting, they heard the smaller monk below speak, “Is it Lord Wei arriving on the clouds?”
Chen Qing replied, “Since we’ve been recognized, let’s go down and chat with them.”
Jin Buhuan descended on a cloud, arriving in front of the White Bone Buddha Temple where the two were, only to see that they had assembled a Buddha, with white bones serving as prayer beads.
It looked like a ghost Buddha.
Jin Buhuan examined the statue closely, “This Buddha statue looks fierce, it might not be proper.”
The big monk said, “Buddha is in the heart, you see the statue as a ghost Buddha; I see it as a grand and glorious Buddha.”
Jin Buhuan was about to step forward, but noticed a chessboard arranged on the ground in the temple and exclaimed, “Dragon Shocking Chess?”
“Are you the two most famous Buddha sons of Wu Gou Temple?”
Chen Qing became intrigued, “What do you mean?”
Jin Buhuan said, “Rumor has it that at Wu Gou Temple, two young monks play chess, which attracted the Dragon King to observe.”
“A single game of chess lasted three years, and the Dragon King watched for three years.”
“Every move was astonishing to the Dragon King.”
“The Dragon King then wanted to enter the Buddhist gate, but unfortunately, was taken back by the Dragon Ancestor.”
“Are you those two young monks?”
The big monk joined his palms together, “This humble monk is Wang Ji.”
The small monk joined his palms together, “This humble monk is Wang Yuan.”
Wang Yuan said, “Actually, it’s not a Dragon King, just a true dragon.”
Chen Qing approached the chessboard, initially intending to admire it, but upon seeing this twenty-three-sided board, he was stunned.
Forget it, this is not my area of expertise; let them be.
“Is this game of chess still unfinished?”
Wang Ji said, “Almost, it should be done within a few days.”
Chen Qing asked, “What is the significance of this game?”
Wang Ji said, “The loser goes to hell.”
Jin Buhuan was shocked, “Why?”
Wang Ji’s expression was calm, “The West Desert Buddhist sect also needs cultivation, also needs to enter the Death Realm.”
“In this world, no one can remain unaffected.”
“Rather than waiting for Lord Wei and Ji Dang to determine a victor and then suffering their anger, it’s better to choose a side early to support.”
“For the West Desert Buddhist sect to continue to cultivate in peace, my junior and I have agreed, each will support a side.”
“Until death.”
“Our Buddhist sect does not like conflict, but we still have to place a bet.”
“We cannot gamble, so we can only place bets on both sides to protect our Buddhist disciples.”
Wang Ji bowed gently to Chen Qing, “But please rest assured, Lord Wei, once we make a choice, we will follow to the death.”
“If I follow Lord Wei, even if you fail, I will not live alone in the future.”
Wang Ji spoke frankly, expressing all his thoughts clearly.
They intended to place bets on two families to ensure victory.
As long as one person from the Buddhist sect can survive and win, it is considered a victory.
The two sat cross-legged over the chessboard, Wang Yuan said, “But we still need to ask Lord Wei to wait a few more days, as Biyou Dragon Girl from Dragon Palace has yet to arrive as a witness.”
Biyou Dragon Girl, Chen Qing knew this female dragon, a little dragon following Ji Dang around.
“Biyou, you dare come to Nanli?”
A woman’s voice came from not far away, “Lord Wei has a noble spirit, doesn’t look like someone who would detain me.”
Distant dark clouds rolled, and a white dragon passed through the clouds to land, transforming into a woman wearing a gauzy garment and a veiled hat.
“If Lord Wei can shelter the sister of Yan Shiyin, why would you go against me, a little dragon?”
Chen Qing also laughed, “I dare not compare with you top Great Sects, my Qingxu, just a mere wilderness, not worth such regard from Dragon Lady.”
Biyou Dragon Girl approached slowly, “You speak too highly, those three hundred-year-old matters, Dragon Palace still remembers.”
Chen Qing’s eyes narrowed, suddenly understanding what Dragon Girl meant.
It was Red-Clothed Sister.
Red-Clothed Sister was the wife of the Master of Mortal World three hundred years ago, and because she summoned Xuanping, Biyou felt a connection with Jiguang Sect.

Chen Qing chuckled, “But what if I insist on keeping you in Nanli?”
Chen Qing was not a person of outdated principles, if the enemy general enters my territory, and I do not keep you, am I not being overly merciful?
Wang Ji quickly stepped forward, “Please quell your anger, Lord Wei, and grant us West Desert Buddhist sect some face.”
Chen Qing asked, “Does the entire West Desert Buddhist sect mean this?”
Wang Ji said, “Apart from my junior and me, our sect will remain neutral.”
Only then did Chen Qing dismiss the idea of forcefully attacking Biyou Dragon Girl, for doing so might cause the West Desert Buddhist sect to lean toward Ji Dang, which would not be very cost-effective.
Chen Qing had no choice but to say, “In that case, let’s wait until you finish this game.”
This left Chen Qing’s matter of consuming the obsession of the Spear Dao Grandmaster to be delayed.
However, at least he clarified the stance of the West Desert Buddhist sect.
In the current disputes of the Death Realm, various Great Sects, except for the snowfield, have almost all entered the fray.
Da Yan, Dragon Palace, Heavenly Master Mansion, and Immortal Court were on one side.
Nanli and Jiguang Sect were on the other side.
At a glance, it seemed that Nanli’s side was weaker.
But Chen Qing was not in a hurry; the demon clan of the West Desert was also under his control.
Moreover, in Da Yan, he still had a princess as an insider, ready to turn at any moment.
The only uncertainty was whether Li Chonghuan from the Immortal Court would enter the fray.
He alone was worth a thousand armies.
He was, after all, the only Foundation Establishment known to possess a King Gu in the world today.
Even he and Ji Dang had never expressed who owned a King Gu.
Just three days later, Ying Wugang brought new news.
“Lord Wei, news came from Da Yan that Li Chonghuan decided to enter the Death Realm.”
“The news just reached our Nanli, and people are already trembling.”
Hearing this news, Chen Qing suddenly felt a headache.
This trip to Jiuli, I’m afraid apart from allowing my Light Butterfly to advance to King Grade, it’s hard to gain any other assistance.
In the eyes of the world, I was already seen as weaker than Ji Dang; now that Li Chonghuan has joined Ji Dang’s side, it made the hearts of the Foundation Establishment practitioners in Nanli even more unsettled.
It’s difficult.
