A mysterious purple light bearing Dragon Tree Buddha swept from the Divine Land across the Ancient Road to Heaven into the spiritually barren Cangnan Continent, where the once-mighty Dragon Clan had vanished. Shocked by the changes, he located his physical body in a Purple Paulownia Coffin beneath a mountain and merged with it, strengthening its aura while containing it to spare the weak world. The Immortal Divine Silkworm sensed the awakening Divine King Realm entity and concealed the demon beasts in the void. Far away in the Divine Land, a red-robed monk's Exquisite Treasure Mirror revealed the reviving body of Dragon Tree Buddha.

"This... This... It’s absolutely wonderful, the return of the Dragon Tree Buddha!"

Trembling with excitement, the red-robed monk balled his fists tight.

Despite his deep grasp of Buddhist doctrines, he couldn’t keep his cool in this instant.

His lips quivered faintly as he sent a sound transmission.

In a flash, dozens of figures dashed into the ancient temple, each one radiating a mighty, bottomless aura—all God King powerhouses.

"Sect Master, what have you summoned us for?"

A middle-aged monk questioned.

Right after his words, he spotted the oddity in the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror nearby, his face twisting in shock.

The Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror had long been mounted in the Sect Leader’s Main Hall without ever acting strangely.

For close to ten million years, no ripples had stirred from the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror.

Yet at this moment, a picture emerged on the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror.

The scene showed a peaceful purple-robed monk resting deep underground inside a purple-bronze coffin.

"Is this... the Dragon Tree Buddha?"

One monk wondered aloud.

"Yes, that’s the body of the Dragon Tree Buddha, and this Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror has forever been tied to the Dragon Tree Buddha’s tomb..."

The red-robed monk answered with a grin.

He worked hard to steady his feelings, keeping his tone even.

"Sect Master, does this signal the Dragon Tree Buddha’s awakening?"

The middle-aged monk pressed.

"Exactly, the Dragon Tree Buddha will revive shortly, descending from a loftier plane in the Divine Land, surely delivering even finer Buddhist teachings to us..."

A smile lit up the red-robed monk’s face.

"Wonderful!"

Every God King powerhouse in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect pressed their palms together then, chanting as one.

"Where is the Dragon Court Buddha Child?"

The red-robed monk swept his gaze over his followers and abruptly inquired.

"Sect Master, the Jade Buddha Sect is hosting the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Assembly soon, so the Dragon Court Buddha Child headed to Jade Buddha City with some companions."

A monk reported back.

"Ah, right, I overlooked that event.

In that case, let him join the gathering first! He might return to find the Dragon Tree Buddha already fully revived!"

The red-robed monk beamed warmly.

His eyes fixed on the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror, brimming with eager hope.

Across the whole Divine Land, the Dragon Tree Buddha stood alone as the sole Purple Buddha.

During nirvana, this Purple Buddha had risen to upper realms of the Divine Land.

His return now promised glory’s restoration for the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect.

"Sect Master, should we dispatch someone to the Forbidden Zone of the Hidden Dragon to greet the Dragon Tree Buddha?"

The middle-aged monk suggested.

"No need..."

Dismissing it with a wave and a smile, the red-robed monk said, "The Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror links not just to the Dragon Tree Buddha’s tomb but can trigger the formation inside too. The moment the Dragon Tree Buddha stirs, he’ll teleport straight through the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror!"

"To think the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror holds such an arcane power!"

The monks burst out in astonishment.

"The Dragon Tree Buddha himself bequeathed this treasure, a gift from some Dragon Clan luminary..."

The red-robed monk murmured wistfully.

"A Dragon Clan treasure? Small wonder it bridges the Forbidden Zone of the Hidden Dragon and the Divine Land—this item is pure marvel!"

Amazement dawned on every monk’s face.

Though ten million years had slipped by.

The Dragon Clan’s splendor had faded into legend.

Still, none could dispute the terrifying might they once wielded.

"Very well, let’s patiently await the Dragon Tree Buddha’s glorious return here!"

Raising his hand, the red-robed monk settled into perfect serenity.

The rest of the God King experts stood mute, waiting in hushed stillness.

Silence enveloped the vast hall completely.

...

Inside Jade Buddha City.

A celestial boat descended into a charming estate.

"Here’s Qingya Immortal Residence, the Holy Buddha Sect’s branch in Jade Buddha City..."

Smiling, Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman gestured to the manor below.

"Ah!"

Ye Yun nodded, then recalled something, rose from his seat, and headed to the celestial boat’s rear.

Startled, Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman hurried after him.

Ye Yun approached Master Hongyun, who sat with eyes shut in repose.

"Master Hongyun, we’ve arrived at Jade Buddha City—our paths part here, so take good care!"

Ye Yun flashed a relaxed smile, openly giving the boot.

"You’re kicking me out?"

Master Hongyun’s eyes snapped open, reluctance clear in his gaze.

"We share no blood ties. Bringing you to Jade Buddha City was already a huge favor—don’t act so ungrateful!"

Ye Yun's brows furrowed coldly.

"Weren't you set on finding my master? Have you abandoned that plan now?"

Master Hongyun shuddered violently.

Ignoring him, Ye Yun turned to the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman at his side, grinning as he asked, "Fallen Leaf, do you know anything about the Evil Buddha Sect?"

"Never heard of it. Is it just some pathetic little sect?"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman shook her head firmly.

Her words landed like a hidden strike on Master Hongyun, demolishing his remaining confidence completely.

Was his master's sect truly nothing more than a worthless minor power?

"See? No such thing as the Evil Buddha Sect exists!

Master Hongyun, countless powerful Buddha Sect forces are gathered at this Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty Assembly—go search for it yourself. Get lucky, find your master, and then come at me for payback!"

Ye Yun shrugged casually, his face lit with a sly grin.

"Ye Chen, do you hold some grudge against his master?"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman asked with curiosity.

"Sort of, just a little personal beef!"

Ye Yun gave a nod.

"Ye Chen, you're the Dao companion of the Buddhist Sect Saintess. Even if I track down my master, how could I possibly dare to take revenge?"

Master Hongyun muttered bitterly.

"Oh? Afraid the Saintess will shield me?"

Noting Master Hongyun's furious and frustrated expression, Ye Yun feigned sudden understanding.

This fool had always pegged him as a spoiled young master.

A second-generation heir at the Divine Monarch Realm.

Back when he unleashed purple radiance to form the Purple Buddha, Master Hongyun was still unconscious, missing everything that followed.

"Master Hongyun, since when does a real man hide behind a woman's power? Here's a deal: find your master, send a flying sword message straight to Qingya Immortal Residence. I'll meet you solo, no Saintess involved—fair enough?"

Ye Yun's expression grew solemn as he spoke calmly.

"Can I trust you'll honor that?"

Master Hongyun creased his brow.

"Naturally!"

Ye Yun affirmed with a nod.

"Master Hongyun, you dare question Ye Chen's word?"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman's voice floated softly, laced with an irresistible command.

Master Hongyun quivered.

"Saintess, I wouldn't dream of it!"

He hastily lifted his hands high, voice trembling in haste.

"Excellent!"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman nodded gracefully.

"Master Hongyun, it's a done deal then."

Ye Yun beamed.

"Yes!" Master Hongyun drew a deep breath, steeling himself.

"Fine, time to boot Master Hongyun out of Qingya Immortal Residence!"

Ye Yun grinned nonchalantly.

Abruptly, he swung his leg up and delivered a powerful kick.

"Argh!"

A wretched cry echoed.

Master Hongyun, wrapped in overwhelming force, hurtled off the celestial boat like a stone, arcing through the sky before crashing onto a street in Jade Buddha City.
