Chapter 2109 - 2114: Crows
"Retribution?"Nie Sen's words made Xia Liu take it seriously.
This should not be the reason why cultivators are scarce within the domain.
"Such matters of retribution are merely rumors and cannot be specific."
Nie Sen continued, "The reason why the Hundred Buddhas Realm does not attract many cultivators is that the Buddhism fate here is extremely hard to find, and the domain's boundaries are guarded by a hundred Golden Bodhi Giant Buddhas. Any cultivator with even the slightest evil intention coming here might be suppressed."
"So, the main reason is still the difficulty in finding Buddhism fate."
Xia Liu did not believe that the hundred giant Buddhas could envelop the whole realm and detect a cultivator's murderous intent.
He had also killed many people and harbored demon thoughts within.
Yet, nothing happened.
Thus, the primary reason is the difficulty in finding Buddhism fate.
Arriving at the Great Brahma Gate domain in the West Martial Forest.
The purpose is none other than to become a disciple of the Great Brahma Gate.
To practice the Buddhist martial arts and wield Prajna Holy Energy.
Who would choose this thorny path of hardship if there were a quicker route?
"Indeed."
Nie Sen smiled bitterly.
At the time, he scorned the Hundred Buddhas Realm.
Thinking he is not an ordinary cultivator, capable of finding Buddhism fate here.
He believed he could take a step ahead and become a disciple of the Great Brahma Gate.
As a result, he stayed here for a year.
Ventured into the Red Desert three times.
Yet still did not find the Heavenly Buddha Temple.
Strangely enough.
He did not encounter anything unusual in the desert.
No trace of temples or even any creatures.
Nie Sen could not comprehend.
Why do many people emerge miserably after entering?
Moreover, they keep silent about anything.
Could they really have seen ghosts in the desert?
"Since they say the Heavenly Buddha Temple is in this desert, what are you all waiting for?"
Xia Liu asked in confusion.
"Daoist Fellow, aren't you aware, after that person emerged in rags, this desert has become different."
"Indeed! We are merely at the Qi Cultivation Stage; entering could mean encountering demon beasts or spirit beasts, risking our lives."
"Ultimately, it is fear that grips the heart."
…
Listening to the complaints of the cultivators present.
Xia Liu remained unmoved.
"The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity, I, Xia, shall take the first step."
"Daoist Fellow, wait for me!"
After Xia Liu had ventured about a hundred meters, Nie Sen finally reacted, hurriedly catching up.
He felt Xia Liu was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Perhaps his arduous search over the past year could break through with Xia Liu's help!
The people at the edge of the desert looked at each other.
Ultimately, no one stepped forward.
Faced with opportunity and life, they leaned toward the latter.
This life may be fated to have no connection with Buddhism.
It is enough to peacefully enhance cultivation.
In the red desert.
Two figures walked side by side.
One dressed in white.
The other donned a beast skin vest.
Nie Sen resembled those hunters, exuding a keen aura of a predator.
While Xia Liu seemed like a scholar heading for exams, his words and actions, filled with elegance and grace.
"Daoist Fellow Xia, which domain do you come from? Have you ever been enlightened by the Great Brahma Gate's high monks before?"
Feeling bored, Nie Sen made small talk to break the silence.
"No, but I have a premonition that I can attain fortune at the Great Brahma Gate."
"Haha! I have the same feeling!"
Nie Sen laughed heartily.
The feeling was very strong.
It was a stormy night.
Nie Sen suddenly had a dream, dreaming of obtaining holy power within the Great Brahma Gate!
Becoming a Saint Heir!
There was a tremendous opportunity to ascend as the Sect Master of the Great Brahma Gate!
Thus he pursued the guidance of his dream, coming to the Great Brahma Gate domain.
To seek opportunity and fortune.
Crack! Crack! Crack!!!
Just as Nie Sen wanted to speak.
A piercing, bizarre cry echoed around.
"There's demonic energy!"
"Demonic energy?"
Xia Liu looked towards a certain distant location.
But it's just a group of ravens, how can there be demonic energy?
"Ah, it turned out to be a flock of ravens. I've spent too long in the mountains, constantly talking about demons, please forgive me, Daoist Fellow."
Nie Sen coughed dryly, pretending to be on guard.
"But you are correct; this flock of ravens is very unusual! Their eyes are all red, and the mountain emits an indistinct killing aura!"
"What? Could this flock of ravens want to kill us?"
"Don't panic, put the knife away."
Seeing Nie Sen draw his sabre, Xia Liu quickly stopped him.
"Daoist Fellow Xia, these ravens are drawing closer, I can feel it, their aura is very strong, not inferior to Foundation Establishment Stage!"
Nie Sen felt somewhat depressed, his hand on the sabre's hilt did not loosen.
As soon as the ravens attacked, he would immediately strike!
"Hold on a moment."
Xia Liu observed carefully for a while.
Meanwhile, the ravens had arrived.
Hundreds of black ravens with red eyes circled overhead.
Such a huge number gathered together.
The killing intent became even more evident!
"Daoist Fellow Xia! Your cultivation is but at the Energy Cultivation Early Stage, stand behind me later, and I'll protect you!"
Foreseeing the ravens about to attack.
Nie Sen assured confidently.
"Daoist Fellow Nie, don't draw your sabre."
"Why? They are no ordinary birds, but demon beasts! Their strength is comparable to ours!"
Nie Sen was puzzled.
Was Xia Liu courting death?
"Daoist Fellow Nie, what do you think the Great Brahma Gate's will is?"
"Will? Are you referring to sect faith?"
"Yes, interpreting it that way works."
Nie Sen kept alert to the ravens circling above while speaking.
"The Great Brahma Gate, using Prajna Holy Energy as the source, saves the world, driving back the Demon Clan, delivers humanity from suffering with holy energy, spreads scriptures, enabling souls to reach bliss, reincarnate into good karma, and not worry in the next life."
Xia Liu nodded, supplementing, "What you said is merely the surface."
"Surface?"
"Indeed, the faith of the Great Brahma Gate, my understanding is compassion as the heart, embodying the vast ocean as its chest, using the saint's eyes to observe the world."
…
Nie Sen was completely puzzled.
If it is compassion at heart, then why need holy energy?
In the Southern Realm, who doesn't know the Great Brahma Gate is one of the Three Holy Sect, Prajna Holy Energy is the supreme power.
Combined with the sect-protecting move of the Great Brahma Gate, advanced to peak cultivation.
It can sever Yama, split the firmament, ignore the Heavenly God, and transfer in one breath across the East Sea Dragon King!
Nie Sen did not express these thoughts to Xia Liu directly.
Because he understood, Xia Liu's state of mind was far beyond his own.
A state of mind unrelated to cultivation, but rather a person's thoughts.
It's formed by a person's accumulated experiences.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!!!"
Suddenly, a noise over the void sounded above.
Nie Sen raised his head, only to see hundreds of ravens plunging downward.
Their sharp beaks targeted both Nie Sen and Xia Liu.
Aiming to pierce their bodies, shatter their souls!
"Daoist Fellow Xia, stand behind me!"
Nie Sen drew his sabre, intending to slay the attacking demon birds.
As the sabre blade was drawn halfway out, Xia Liu swiftly pressed down on the hilt.
"Daoist Fellow Nie, the Great Brahma Gate's faith is compassion at heart, in front of the Heavenly Buddha Temple, taking lives will render your Buddhism fate unachievable for three lifetimes!"
