486: Chapter 59 Ten Heroes 486: Chapter 59 Ten Heroes “I truly didn’t expect that even the Buddhist sect would face such bleak times…”
Jun Mountain True Master sat in front of a campfire, a smile that was not quite a smile on his face, “Baldy, you dare to tell me this news?”
The Taoist and Buddhist sects vie against each other.
He and Miao Zhen, were even past life sworn enemies.
“What’s there to fear?”
Miao Zhen handled it with indifference, “Rise and fall, prosperity and decline, these are the ultimate truths of the world.
The era when Buddhism and Taoism contended is no more, fighting with you to death has no meaning…”
“You wish to join hands with me?”
Jun Mountain sneered.
“It is imperative that we join hands.”
Miao Zhen said with a slight smile, “Xie Zhen, you, and I, representing the three teachings, if we do not unite, will soon all fall into peril.”
These ten years.
The Buddhist sect has been oppressed by the iron cavalry.
The Taoist sect has gone into hiding, Sword Palace under closure.
The three thousand-year-old holy lands, transcending the mundane world, have not seen a good day.
The power of Taoism is great, but it is also in a tumultuous epoch of instability…
This Jun Mountain True Master understands better than anyone, that once the eldest brother Xiao Yaozi continues his seclusion, leaving Great True Master Chong Kan to continue holding power, then Taoism will surely take a strange path.
“Our gathering here tonight, is both fate’s arrangement and karma’s conclusion.”
The Buddha’s son looked up, his gaze piercing the gaps in the long leaves, staring at the dim starry river above.
“That’s enough talk.”
Jun Mountain True Master waved his hand impatiently, chiding, “Don’t be so affected…
How do you propose we join forces?”
“This mission traveling west, no matter how meticulously carried out, will certainly attract Nalan Xuance’s attention.”
The Buddha’s son suppressed his smile, solemnly saying, “Given his character, it’s highly likely he will attempt to intercept…”
“That’s not in line with the rules, is it?”
Jun Mountain True Master narrowed his eyes, slowly saying, “The Ten Heroes of the World, stationed in the Four Realms, had long established that any Cultivator ascending to the Yang God Realm must not move freely.
At this crucial moment, a Yang God taking action could stir fate and possibly directly trigger a war…
Nalan Xuance, such a figure, is being watched by countless eyes, any slight disturbance is bound to be noticed by other Yang Gods.”
“Perhaps this is why Nalan Xuance has joined forces with Chen Chong.”
The Buddha’s son spoke slowly with lowered eyes, “Some suspect that Chen Chong could have ascended to Yang God long ago.
However, he has always been pressing at the brink of Yin God Perfection, so much so that the rules laid down by the Ten Heroes cannot constrain him.”
“Ambitions of a wild wolf…”
Jun Mountain found it somewhat unbelievable, frowning, “Is there actually anyone in this world who can resist the temptation of ascending to Yang God?”
“Chen Chong is a hero among villains.”
Faced with Jun Mountain’s skepticism, Miao Zhen let out a light sigh.
These ten years.
The Buddhist sect has been suppressed by the joint forces of Nalan Xuance and Chen Chong, managing it has been quite a headache.
“Yin God Perfection…
How can this help?”
Jun Mountain said coldly, “If this Chen kid is really as powerful as you say, even if you and I both break through now, we’re unlikely to be his match.”
Reincarnated True People, Reincarnated Living Buddhas, undoubtedly powerful, truly unrivaled in their own realm.
Yet their cultivation also requires time.
The chasm between Yin God Perfection and budding Yin God is vast.
The Divine Soul, insight, and combat experience of a past life…
are not enough to bridge this gap.
“Chen Chong won’t make a move personally.”
Miao Zhen raised a finger, saying, “These years…
the strife between us and the iron cavalry always had a subtle balance.
Be it Nalan Xuance or Chen Chong, no matter the ruthless cleansing plans they established, their true selves would never show, because…”
“The Zen Master has only aged, not died.”
Xie Xuanyi answered for Miao Zhen.
He spoke calmly, “Chen Chong cherishes his life, Nalan Xuance fears death.
Such tempting assassinations, as enticing as they appear, could be traps set by Fan Yin Temple.
The moment the Zen Master shows up, they would have to pay the price.”
“That’s correct.”
Miao Zhen nodded, “The rules set down by the Ten Heroes have been effective these years, but no one knows…
whether these rules can bind those above the Ten Heroes.”
These years.
The list of Ten Heroes has hardly changed.
Those ten Yang Gods on the list are almost the strongest ten people in the world today…
But above this list.
Some names will not appear.
Like the Qin Ancestor, Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi…
They had become the “Ten Heroes” of their generation many years ago, and had actively conceded their seats to the younger ones of the next generation.
The throne perpetuates, the mountain peak is eternal, these people have long since left the Ten Heroes list, no longer needing this fortunate support, and caring little for this so-called reputation.
If the Ten Heroes are Heaven.
Then they are the figures standing above heaven.
These people have not lived as long as the Zen Master.
Which of the Ten Heroes would dare disrespect the Zen Master?
“Speaking of which…
Isn’t the new list of Ten Heroes about to be released?”
Jun Mountain’s eyebrows perked up as he suddenly remembered something.
This year, Fangyuan Square rumors say that following the update of the Heavenly Pride List, the list of Ten Heroes will also be refreshed.
This news has caught the attention of many.
Compared to the Heavenly Pride List.
The new list of Ten Heroes draws more attention.
“What, you want to ascend the peak in this life and become the new ‘Ten Heroes’ of this generation?”
Miao Zhen laughed scornfully, “Back then you just missed your chance with the Ten Heroes, barely a hair’s breadth away.
You wouldn’t still be brooding over this matter, unable to let go, would you…”
“I care not for the Heavenly Pride List, but why can’t I consider the Ten Heroes?”
Jun Mountain grumbled, “Can’t old man fulfill some unachieved wishes from my past life?!”
“No matter the era, being one of the Ten Heroes is never easy.”
Miao Zhen spoke faintly, “You lost to Zhao Tongtian back then, and it was not unjust.”
“Uh?”
Xie Xuanyi tilted his ear to one side; it seemed he had heard some sensational secrets.
