Chapter 1282 Stronger
Bei Xuan shook his head helplessly, "Isn't it!"
"The blood on Chan Wu's hands might be more than both of us combined."
"But it's all forced by the ways of this realm!"
"The Three Emperor Buddhas also saw the karmic sin on Chan Wu. For the Buddhist sect, if such a person can be converted, it's beneficial for both sides."
Chen Yang had vaguely guessed some things before, but he hadn't expected the Three Emperor Buddhas to actually do it.
Dong Cang, standing beside him, also frowned, "Isn't that the saying, 'Drop the butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly'?"
"The thoughts of these Three Emperor Buddhas are... quite interesting."
At this moment, neither of them said much about Buddhist doctrines.
Chen Yang chuckled, "But since he has entered the Buddhist sect, I believe those old Confucian scholars, after knowing the karma, won't make things difficult for him."
With that, Chen Yang shifted the topic to the matter of the spatial barrier.
Bei Xuan also relayed what the Three Emperor Buddhas had instructed to Chen Yang.
"The matter of the spatial barrier is irreversible."
"Even without the destruction by Yaodu Prefecture, that thing actually wouldn't have lasted much longer."
"The primary reason is the lack of anything to suppress the human realm."
"There are currently only two solutions: find something to suppress the human realm's barrier, slowing down its fragmentation, or let everyone adapt in advance."
"As time goes on, there will be more and more martial artists, and they will also suffer attacks from the nether realm."
"It might even attract the covetous gaze of extraterrestrial demon gods."
Chen Yang and Dong Cang exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Extraterrestrial demon gods... A wisp of spiritual power left behind by one of those things ten thousand years ago had nearly caused a group of Core Formation cultivators to perish.
If their true bodies were to appear, wouldn't that be...?
Chen Yang couldn't even imagine the scene.
As for something to suppress the human realm's barrier.
Chen Yang did have an idea, but he wasn't sure if it would work.
After parting ways with the two, Chen Yang immediately headed to the Fu Ling Wine House.
Although the Lord of the Nether Realm had his own residence, he usually stayed at the Fu Ling Wine House or watched the selection competition for cultivators in the Land of Hope.
Upon meeting the Lord of the Nether Realm, Chen Yang explained his intention to use the bronze cauldron to suppress the human realm's barrier.
"Since my bronze cauldron can help you suppress the Spiritual Domain, suppressing the human realm's barrier should be no problem, right?"
Chen Yang didn't know how to operate the bronze cauldron for suppression, so he could only hope that the Lord of the Nether Realm had unique insights in this regard.
However, the answer he received was vastly different from his expectations.
The Lord of the Nether Realm slowly shook his head. When Chen Yang had inquired about this matter earlier, the Lord of the Nether Realm had actually considered this method.
But he had rejected it before even voicing it.
"The barrier of the human realm, or the barriers of all worlds, are extremely powerful existences."
"Suppressing the Spiritual Domain is essentially suppressing those broken Daos, somewhat akin to luck. The sum of these things is not even as powerful as the barrier of the nether realm."
"And the barrier of your human realm is a far more powerful existence."
"If it were a complete bronze cauldron, strengthening the barrier of your human race would be no problem, but the crucial issue is that your bronze cauldron is incomplete."
"Even with a complete bronze cauldron, with your strength, even I might not be able to operate it successfully."
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Yang could only lament. Was there truly no way?
The Lord of the Nether Realm naturally wanted to help, but in matters like this, even he was powerless.
Chen Yang returned to his residence and immediately set aside all other matters to focus on researching his divine abilities.
Only by fully mastering his Three Heads Six Arms divine ability could he truly contend with the peak of the Core Formation realm.
As time gradually passed, the martial arts tournament for cultivators in the Land of Hope had entered its white-hot stage.
Outside the Fu Ling Wine House, Saint Moon Divine Venerable watched a familiar face flash by, a smile appearing on his face.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable had encountered many challenges along the way, but it had also given him time to recover his strength.
Shi Tianning's body, thanks to the prior care of Saint Moon Divine Venerable, was an absolutely complete physique.
After fully mastering this body, Saint Moon Divine Venerable's strength recovered rapidly, and he had now broken through to the sixth layer of the Core Formation realm.
Furthermore, there were subtle signs of further breakthroughs.
A person beside Saint Moon Divine Venerable sighed with emotion, "We hurried as much as we could, yet we're still a bit slow. If we had been faster, perhaps you could have participated in this tournament!"
"I heard that the rewards for this Land of Hope are very generous, even including cultivation techniques!"
After speaking, the person did not receive a response from Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
When he turned to look at Saint Moon Divine Venerable, he was stunned to find that Saint Moon Divine Venerable had already vanished.
Entering a dark alley, Saint Moon Divine Venerable snorted coldly, "Participate in the tournament? Of course, I will participate!"
Saint Moon Divine Venerable would not let such a good opportunity pass.
However, he could not openly appear in the human race's Land of Hope.
Although not many people had seen Shi Tianning's face, there were still a few who recognized it.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable did not wish for his identity to be exposed, at least not at this moment.
In a wine house by the arena, a few shouts attracted a lot of attention.
"Brother! If we win the remaining matches tomorrow, we'll secure a spot!"
"I heard most of the academy people are at the Foundation Establishment realm. As long as Brother can enter the main competition, winning first place will be no problem!"
Surrounded by everyone, a large man with a face full of flesh and several scars carelessly exposed, exuded ferocity that made everyone around him tremble.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable sat at a nearby table, listened for a while, and made his decision.
This person was originally a pirate from the Forget Worry Sea Domain, but with the opening of the Land of Hope, the black market business in the Forget Worry Sea Domain gradually declined.
Even they, the pirates, had to relocate.
However, before they could even plan their first move upon arriving in the Land of Hope, they heard about this tournament.
The strongest among these people was the pirate leader, named Hai E Sha (Sea Evil), who was at the first layer of the Core Formation realm.
In the sea domain where a fourth-layer Core Formation cultivator could be king, Hai E Sha was definitely a prominent figure.
However, although Hai E Sha was in the Core Formation realm, he knew that his breakthrough to the Core Formation realm was purely by chance.
With his talent, he would likely only ever reach the first layer of the Core Formation realm in his life. Winning this tournament was his opportunity!
An opportunity to break through the first layer of Core Formation was an immense temptation for Hai E Sha, who had already tasted the sweetness of success!
