Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 943: Land of Thousands of Buddhas

"Huayan Temple..."

Ye Yun murmured softly, his gaze profound as it fixed on the golden plaque beneath him.

Right now, he hovered amid the emptiness high above this sprawling mountain temple area.

The temple complex sprawled magnificently, with incense smoke rising thick and vibrant. Never before on the Cangnan Continent had Ye Yun witnessed such an immense cluster of temples.

On the Cangnan Continent, the Buddha Sect holds little sway.

Not even a single Eternal Level sect exists there.

"No, I need to question someone about the exact location of this place."

A faint smile curved Ye Yun's lips as he scanned the surroundings once more.

In the distant horizons all around,

as far as his vision stretched, countless other temples dotted the landscape, tucked amid the peaks.

These temples bore names utterly unlike that of the Huayan Temple in front of him.

"How come so many temples cluster here?"

Ye Yun blinked in surprise before soaring ahead.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot skyward from Huayan Temple, which Ye Yun effortlessly blocked.

A burly monk emerged, draped in a golden kasaya, appearing in his fifties or sixties, with a sturdy frame, bushy brows, wide eyes, and an imposing presence.

"Benefactor, why block my way when you pass Huayan Temple without paying respects through incense?"

The burly monk inquired.

"Does spotting a temple mean I must burn incense? Truthfully, that's not my custom!"

Ye Yun replied with a light smile.

He placed no faith in gods or buddhas.

Coming across temples and bowing to deities or buddhas was something Ye Yun would never do.

"Benefactor, surely you're not from around here?"

The burly monk furrowed his brow, guessing as he spoke.

"Correct, I'm from a distant domain..."

Ye Yun chuckled softly.

"That explains it. A cultivator from the Land of Thousands of Buddhas would never bypass a temple without entering to offer incense—others would surely whisper about it!"

The burly monk's eyebrows lifted as understanding dawned.

"So this is the Land of Thousands of Buddhas..."

Ye Yun gave a slight nod, the name now ringing a bell.

Within the immense Divine Land lies the intriguing ancient domain known as the Land of Thousands of Buddhas.

This realm belongs entirely to the Buddha Sect.

More than seventy percent of its cultivation powers stem from Buddha Sect branches.

The Land of Thousands of Buddhas lies incredibly distant from the Supreme Realm.

The Divine Land stretches endlessly, split into five grand regions: east, south, west, north, and central.

The Daluo Region and Supreme Realm fall within the eastern part of the Divine Land.

Yet the Land of Thousands of Buddhas resides in the western region.

From east to west, the gulf between them is staggeringly immense.

Countless cultivators, even those at Divine Sovereign Realm, rarely venture beyond their home ancient domain.

For Ye Yun to journey back from the Land of Thousands of Buddhas to the Supreme Realm, even ripping through the void would demand several days.

"Since I've arrived, why not linger here awhile? No rush to return just yet..."

Ye Yun eyed the burly monk ahead, a spark in his gaze hinting at fresh ideas.

This monk's cultivation had climbed to the tenth layer of the God Monarch Realm.

Such strength was middling at best.

"Benefactor, after traveling so far from foreign lands, will you join our Land of Thousands of Buddhas' grand event?"

The burly monk smiled as he asked.

"What grand event?"

Ye Yun inquired.

"Naturally, it's the Grand Assembly of All Buddhas hosted by the Jade Buddha Sect. Prodigies from every Buddha Sect across the Divine Land converge in the Jade Buddha Cave Sky to discuss Buddhist Law, clash in divine techniques, and barter treasures..."

The burly monk gestured broadly, his face beaming with enthusiasm.

His eyes sparkled too, brimming with eagerness for this Grand Assembly of All Buddhas.

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty..."

Ye Yun whispered, sinking into thought at that instant.

The Grand Assembly of All Buddhas ranks as the grandest exchange for Buddha Sect powers throughout the Divine Land.

The Buddha Sect remains distinct.

Even dispersed across remote ancient domains, they unite for this Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty.

From the Supreme God Sovereign's memories flowed details on the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty.

The hosting Jade Buddha Sect counts among the three paramount Buddha Sect forces in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas.

Those three giants are the Jade Buddha Sect, Supreme Buddha Sect, and Holy Buddha Sect.

All possess Divine King-level might and command immense respect across the Divine Land.

Ye Yun held little regard for such powers.

His main focus was the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty assembly.

The Evil Buddha Sect of Cangnan Continent actually traced its roots back to the Divine Land.

However, Ye Yun detected no trace of the Evil Buddha Sect functioning as a Buddhist power within the Divine Land.

Evidently, the Evil Buddha Sect operated under a different identity, boldly revealing itself in the Divine Land.

To track down the master of the red-robed monk from Cangnan Continent's Evil Buddha Sect and seize control of the entire sect, Ye Yun saw the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty assembly as an ideal opportunity.

Noticing the spark of curiosity in the white-clothed youth before him, the burly monk eagerly urged, "Young benefactor, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty assembly happens only once every hundred thousand years—a priceless chance you cannot miss!"

As these words left his mouth,

fearful that Ye Yun might refuse, he darted forward swiftly, offering an ancient map with both hands extended.

"Here’s a map of the Land of Thousands of Buddhas, placing the Jade Buddha Sect right at the center. Benefactor, should you wish to join, we’ll rendezvous at the Jade Buddha Sect..."

The burly monk spoke with a warm smile.

"Thank you, Master!"

Accepting the ancient map, Ye Yun gave it a swift glance and broke into a smile.

This burly monk showed a kind heart and genuine integrity.

"I’ll take my leave first..."

With a grin, the burly monk spoke before morphing into a streak of golden light that vanished into the void.

Ye Yun spread open the ancient map for a thorough inspection.

Using Huayan Temple’s position as a guide, he promptly located the Jade Buddha Sect.

It lay to the southwest of Huayan Temple.

"The distance across the land is vast, and Long Yunzi’s look requires an adjustment..."

A gentle smile crossed Ye Yun’s face as he instantly shifted his appearance, all while holding his cultivation at the Divine Monarch realm.

Next, he lifted his hand just a bit.

A crimson glow streaked past, summoning a red-robed monk before him, who appeared utterly confused.

This red-robed monk was exactly the one Ye Yun had subdued amid the Black Divine Sect ruins.

During that incident, the monk had stirred chaos in the ruins with brazen arrogance until Emperor Heimang overpowered him.

Right as the red-robed monk materialized,

Ye Yun’s pupils narrowed faintly, triggering the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye.

"Why did you let me out?"

A couple of seconds later, the red-robed monk snapped back to awareness, glaring at Ye Yun with fury.

Under the influence of the illusion technique applied, the red-robed monk still perceived Ye Yun in his Black Divine Sect form.

Yet to everyone else, Ye Yun’s visage had transformed.

"Letting you out to get some air, lest you suffocate!"

Ye Yun grinned.

Aware he stood no chance against the white-clothed youth, the red-robed monk promptly fell silent and surveyed his surroundings.

Sensing the spiritual energy brimming with rich divine essence, his face twisted in shock, and he burst out in astonishment.

"What is this place? How come the spiritual energy carries such divine nature?"

"The Divine Land!"

Ye Yun let out a light chuckle, stating plainly, "This is the Divine Land, the very place you longed to reach! Didn’t you claim your master resides here? Let him come slay me."

"So it’s the Divine Land..."

At these words, fervor ignited in the red-robed monk’s eyes. He fixed Ye Yun with a piercing stare, sneering, "You’re courting death by returning to the Divine Land. Watch how my master obliterates you!"

Destroy me?

Amused, Ye Yun shook his head.

This red-robed monk held excessive faith in his master.

But that suited perfectly.

Using this fool as bait would draw out his master and allow Ye Yun to ensnare the entire Evil Buddha Sect.
