"This Jade Buddha Cave Sky is truly remarkable!"
Upon entering the Jade Buddha Cave Sky, the vast landscape was adorned with countless emerald lakes, shimmering like stars. Massive Nine-leaf Buddha Lotuses reached towards the heavens, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Drawing in the rich spiritual energy, Ye Yun couldn't help but voice his awe.
"Ye Chen, the Jade Buddha Cave Sky is renowned throughout the Divine Land, recognized as one of the Ten Great Cave Heavens," the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman stated with a smile.
Ye Yun offered a nod in acknowledgment.
The group continued their journey, soaring towards the inner reaches of the cave.
Upon the immense lotus leaves, not only did ancient palaces stand majestically, but numerous cultivators had also established their presence.
As this was known as the Grand Assembly of All Buddhas of the Jade Buddha Sect, it served not only as a platform for preaching Buddhist doctrines but also as a bustling marketplace. Many seized the opportunity to display their Dharma treasures, medicinal pills, and cultivation techniques, engaging in trades for items they desired on these floating platforms.
However, Ye Yun remained uninterested.
The sheer volume of treasures, pills, and cultivation techniques within his personal vault was immeasurable; nothing in this world could capture his attention.
Everyone pressed onward.
They halted their flight above a colossal lake situated at the edge of an ethereal mist.
This jade-like body of water, with its crystal-clear depths, was immensely vast, stretching for thousands of miles.
Each colossal Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus stood tall within the water, swaying gently in the breeze.
Sects from the Buddha faction had taken root on every lotus leaf.
The Grand Assembly of All Buddhas comprised influential figures; to secure a position within this lake and claim a spot on the lotus leaves, a sect required at least a cultivator at the half-step God King Realm, an expert of the God King caliber.
Cultivators situated on the lotus leaves beyond the lake's perimeter were not afforded the privilege of entering its waters.
Nonetheless.
Even from afar, the sermons of Buddhist law could still be discerned.
The principle that Buddhist law offers salvation to all beings was evidently not merely an empty proclamation.
In the deepest reaches of this expansive lake.
Three even more enormous Nine-leaf Buddha Lotuses were present, their size dwarfing the others by at least double.
Magnificent red lotus flowers bloomed in the void, bathed in a soft, divine Buddha light.
"The Jade Buddha Sect, the hosts, occupy the central lotus. Our Holy Buddha Sect is situated to the left, and the Supreme Buddha Sect is on the right!" the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman explained softly, gesturing towards the three colossal Nine-leaf Buddha Lotuses in the distance.
"Hmm," Ye Yun responded with a nod, his expression placid.
The entourage proceeded towards the grand Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus located on the left.
"The disciples of the Holy Buddha Sect have arrived!"
"And the consort of the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman is accompanying them!"
"This consort appears regrettably weak; it's perplexing why the Saintess would select such an individual as her consort!"
Whispered inquiries emanated from the surrounding lotus platforms.
Concurrently, on the substantial Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus to the right, the contingent from the Supreme Buddha Sect observed, the majority of them directing their gaze towards Ye Yun and his companions.
Among this group, a monk clad in green robes stood out, exuding an extraordinary aura, much like the moon amidst a sea of stars.
He was none other than the Original Buddha Child of the Supreme Buddha Sect.
"Alas, the Holy Buddha Sect seems poised for decline. A dignified Saintess in the Divine King Realm choosing such a feeble consort suggests that the standing of the Three Supreme Buddha Sects within the Land of Thousands of Buddhas is likely to shift..." the Original Buddha Child mused silently.
His gaze was both indifferent and ethereal, as if the world held no substance in his perception.
"Cease your wishful thinking!"
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman's countenance hardened slightly upon hearing his words, retorting with biting sarcasm.
Historically, the Supreme Buddha Sect had consistently ranked last, and in terms of overall power, they still significantly trailed the Jade Buddha Sect.
"Hmph!"
The Original Buddha Child emitted a cold snort, his expression icy, before falling into silence.
Ye Yun offered a slight smile at the unfolding exchange.
The group continued their flight, soon alighting upon the lotus positioned on the left.
At that precise moment.
A disturbance rippled through the void as a considerable retinue of God King Realm experts emerged, arriving on the central Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus.
At their forefront was a monk with refined features.
"This is the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, the Sect Master of the Jade Buddha Sect. He is a figure of equal renown to our Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor," the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman explained in a low tone.
Ye Yun chuckled indifferently, remarking, "This fellow certainly knows how to put on a show..."
Upon hearing his comment, the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman could not suppress a laugh.
The Yoga Godlord standing nearby discreetly covered her mouth with her hand.
She dared not openly laugh.
This was, after all, a hallowed ground and the central stage of the Jade Buddha Sect. It was widely understood that the Oracle Buddha Ancestor was renowned for his commanding presence.
It appeared as though he had registered Ye Yun’s utterance.
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor, positioned atop the Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus, narrowed his gaze slightly, letting loose a frigid stare in Ye Yun's direction.
A crease formed in his brow.
How could a cultivator at the Divine Monarch Realm be found amongst the ranks of the Holy Buddha Sect?
What astonished him even more was the man's proximity to the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, suggesting an apparently close bond.
"Sect Master, this individual is the consort of the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman. It seems he has only recently been discovered, as we have no prior knowledge of him..."
A nearby monk conveyed.
"Heh!"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor offered merely a frigid snort, making no move.
After all, the Grand Assembly of All Buddhas was poised to commence, and as the host, he possessed significant news to impart.
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor, hands clasped behind his back, surveyed the assembled powers of various Buddha Sects atop their distant Nine-leaf Buddha Lotuses, a resolute smile gracing his countenance.
He seemed to look down upon everything, his aura utterly undisturbed, radiating an air of masterful command.
A brief, silent pause ensued.
The Nine-leaf Buddha Lotuses upon this vast expanse of water were nearly populated by the elite experts from the various Buddha Sects.
Their cultivation bases were, at minimum, at the half-step God King Realm.
Furthermore, a significant number were established God King Realm cultivators.
"Esteemed guests, at this Grand Assembly of All Buddhas, our Jade Buddha Sect is privileged to share some exceptionally auspicious tidings with you all!"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor cleared his throat, his tone measured and calm.
Though his voice was soft, it resonated throughout the entirety of the Jade Buddha Cave Sky at that very moment.
"Auspicious tidings?"
"What significant news does the Jade Buddha Sect intend to reveal?"
"I am truly eager to witness..."
The cultivators directed fervent gazes towards the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, their faces alight with anticipation.
Given the solemnity with which the Oracle Buddha Ancestor spoke, the news must undoubtedly be of great importance and worthy of dissemination.
"Here it comes..."
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman offered a gentle smile before glancing at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun tenderly clasped her delicate hand.
"Initially, they released minor announcements to psychologically prepare certain powerful Buddha Sect factions. Now, as the assembly convenes, it is time for the Jade Buddha Sect to cast its net wide!"
Ye Yun chuckled.
"Indeed, I am curious to discover what sort of three-headed, six-armed formidable being the rumored Yinfuti of the Jade Buddha Sect truly is?"
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman responded with a faint smile.
"I too am eager to see who can stand against me."
Ye Yun quipped playfully.
The surrounding space had been momentarily ensconced by a restriction set by the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, ensuring their hushed exchange remained private.
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor, observing that every individual within the Jade Buddha Cave Sky had now shifted their attention to him, declared with composure: "Distinguished guests, to speak plainly, our Jade Buddha Sect has successfully unveiled a legendary Yinfuti!"
With his declaration made.
He gestured casually with his hand.
Rumble!
The lake's waters churned violently, coalescing into a colossal whirlpool.
A youthful figure, clad in simple attire and with eyes gently closed, ascended slowly from the vortex into the air.
This young man was enveloped in a radiant Buddha light, possessing an astonishingly potent aura that had achieved the Divine King Realm.
"Greetings to all fellow cultivators!"
The youth hovered in the void, his eyes opening as he brought his palms together in a gesture of gentle salutation.
"Oh?"
Ye Yun let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
He perceived, albeit faintly, a familiar resonance emanating from this youth.
