Chapter 380: The Capture of the Heavenly Gate’s Crowd

Wu Wu is the Buddha’s disciple.

In Ming Fo Temple, his position is second only to that of the Buddha.

In fact, among the Nine Heavens, Wu Wu’s status is far higher than that of the Buddha.

The disciple was born in the Third Heaven, with an incredibly fast promotion speed, and his profound Buddhist teachings have left countless followers in awe.

Although he is currently just in the Ascendant Realm, challenging others isn’t his strongest point; his true strength lies in the enhancements he brings to other followers of the Buddha.

At this moment, Wu Wu was absorbed in practicing in the Arhat Pagoda, oblivious to everything else.

Lu Ye was somewhat unfamiliar with this disciple since he had later followed the Reincarnation Celestial Lord into the Six Paths of Reincarnation for cultivation.

By the time he re-emerged in this world, he was a Quasi-Emperor.

During the later dark turmoil, he hadn’t shown himself.

Lu Ye had also never encountered him in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Lu Ye flew rapidly.

The closer he got to Ming Fo Temple, the more followers he saw, all with devout expressions, bowing with every step towards the temple.

Lu Ye didn’t have much thought about this phenomenon.

Others’ paths are walked by others.

His path is his own.

He concealed himself, cloaked in a robe, which was a treasure—a Chaos Treasure.

At the level of Chaos Treasures, they were already considered very high-ranking artifacts.

Going a level higher, you get Chaos Supreme Treasures, which have independent laws.

Chaos Treasures cover a wide range; most treasures used in levels five, six, or even seven are mostly Chaos Treasures.

Chaos Treasures are further divided into four levels: Upper, Middle, Lower, and Exceptional.

Some Chaos Treasures can advance to become Dao Treasures, promoting to imperial weapons.

However, Chaos Supreme Treasures are limited.

Almost no Chaos Treasures can be upgraded to Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Wrapped in his cloak and plus his concealment ability, Lu Ye was completely undetected.

Soon, Ming Fo Temple appeared before him.

Other sects were situated on a single star.

But Ming Fo Temple was oddly shaped, with eighty-one gigantic stars bound together by Buddhist light, piled like a mountain.

Within each star, countless beings devotedly recited scriptures day and night, their grand Buddhist light radiating across the heavens, leaving onlookers in a state of solemn awe, kindling reverence.

And Ming Fo Temple rested atop these eighty-one stars, literally above, constantly emitting boundless golden light.

“Master, we can’t hold on any longer!”

The Drunken Sword Daoist exclaimed anxiously.

“These turtle bastards are just too many; we’ve done our best to resist, and yet more keep coming—how shameless!”

“Master, I’m so embarrassed!”

Lu Ye…

“Surrender, they won’t kill you. Just wait for me to exchange for you.”

Lu Ye said.

“Huh? You’re exchanging for us? No way! You’re our sect master; how can you sacrifice yourself for us? That plays right into their hands! No way, absolutely not!”

“I’m not exchanging myself for you, but trading other people for you. Don’t provoke them, just surrender!”

“Oh, you gave me a scare. Master, if it really comes to it, just ignore us; when the time comes, avenge us and wipe them out!”

Lu Ye…

“Enough with the nonsense; hurry up and surrender!”

Actually, what the Drunken Sword Daoist said was quite valid; if push came to shove, Lu Ye would indeed have no choice but to take revenge for them.

Sixth Heaven.

The Heavenly Gate exploded!

Seventh Heaven.

The Heavenly Gate exploded!

Eighth Heaven.

The Heavenly Gate exploded!

Ninth Heaven… the Heavenly Gate didn’t explode.

Emperor Dao Hen was in closed-door training and didn’t take action, but the others from the Heavenly Gate couldn’t hold back any longer.

What does this mean?

Just asking what you Buddhist folks mean to say?

Picking on the Heavenly Gate folks from the Fifth Heaven, who just ascended?

Picking on the Heavenly Gate that guards the Heavenly Dao? Aren’t they protecting the Heavenly Dao for the sake of all living creatures?

And you Buddhist folks just treat us like this?

Instantly, strong members of the Heavenly Gate went to the Buddha Sect seeking an explanation. In one moment, all the strongmen from the Fifth Heaven and above were enraged, heading to block the door and apply pressure.

However, this did not stop the Buddha Sect from continuing their actions against Lu Ye.

In the Fifth Heaven.

The Heavenly Gate’s people didn’t resist desperately; instead, they chose to surrender.

Some powers from the Buddha Sect quickly proclaimed to the world.

“Lu Ye, if you want the Heavenly Gate’s members to survive, come and exchange for them!”

“Don’t worry; we don’t plan to kill you, we merely want to invite you to join our Buddha Sect!”

“When that happens, you can carry on with your normal cultivation; it’ll be as if nothing’s changed, and you might even feel safer by joining the Buddha Sect!”

Lu Ye’s Transmitting Stone buzzed and vibrated; it was a communication through the Drunken Sword Daoist’s Transmitting Stone.

But Lu Ye didn’t reply.

“Did you hear that, Lu Ye, Fellow Daoist? Our relations are not as hostile as you might think; we can be friends!”

Lu Ye remained silent.

“Fellow Daoist, could it be you really want to reject the good wine while embracing the bad? You are part of the Heavenly Gate, which came in full force to support you when you ascended; do you really want to brush that off?”

“Lu Ye, I know you can hear me; I won’t waste more words with you. If you insist on refusing to cooperate, don’t blame me for being rude to your Heavenly Gate friends!”

Lu Ye still didn’t respond.

At this point, the Buddha Sect folks exchanged glances, and Fa Hui, holding the Transmitting Stone, frowned.

Is this thing broken?

Why isn’t there even a reply?

“Senior Brother, do you think we weren’t fierce enough in our words? Should you toughen it up a bit!”

Ever kind and gentle, Fa Hui eventuality let out a sigh.

“Lu Ye, we originally didn’t want it to come to this, but since you are so stubborn and unyielding, don’t blame us for being merciless.”

“If you don’t reply in the time of a stick of incense, I will have to enlighten one of your Heavenly Gate folks. If you don’t reply in two sticks of incense, then I’ll enlighten two. I’m not joking; I will keep my word!”

Meanwhile, Lu Ye put away the Transmitting Stone.

A stick of incense’s time, huh!

That’s more than enough!

His figure flew towards that magnificent, majestic, and radiant Ming Fo Temple.

No one detected his presence.

Without hesitation, his figure had already blended into the Great Formation of Ming Fo Temple, and the great Sun Buddha Formation didn’t even ripple once.

In his previous life, Lu Ye didn’t have much to do with Buddhism; in his last life, he wasn’t one to repay grudges immediately but rather settled things through reason.

Sometimes, when conflicts did arise, a peacemaker often intervened, which usually prevented things from escalating.

Only when it became truly excessive would Lu Ye act to obliterate the other.

But this life is different; ever since he relinquished guarding the Great Dao, Lu Ye realized that many people truly deserved to die!

He traversed through the Great Sun Buddha Formation, watching as the entire formation took the shape of an enormous Sun Buddha statue.

However, this had no impact on Lu Ye whatsoever.
