Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 995: The Origin of the Evil Buddha Sect

The legendary Yinfuti is the essence of the Buddha Flame.

Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor recognized that the young man in the purple robe below was, in fact, the original form of the Buddha Flame Root.

Logically, such an entity would be exceptionally difficult to liberate.

Yet, astonishingly, the Buddha Flame Root essence, after achieving liberation, demonstrated Buddhist comprehension that even dwarfed the original Dragon Tree Buddha.

Consequently, the Buddha Flame Root essence reclaimed the Formless Tree's body, leading to the complete disappearance of Dragon Tree Buddha after their merging.

Ultimately, Ye Chen Buddha Lord emerged as the victor of this silent conflict.

How could Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor not be filled with admiration?

Moreover, the newly formed Dragon Tree Buddha possessed an unfathomable cultivation, reaching the Half-step God Emperor Realm—a terrifying pinnacle sufficient to awe every sect within the Land of Thousands of Buddhas.

Not a single sect in the entire Land of Thousands of Buddhas, not even the Three Supreme Buddha Sects, boasted an expert at the Half-step God Emperor Realm.

The moment the purple Buddha light manifested, all the Divine King Realm experts of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect were compelled to kneel. In stark contrast, Fallen Leaf Saintess, having narrowly escaped peril, stood frozen like a statue.

With a casual wave of his hand, Dragon Tree directed a beam of purple Buddha light through the air, striking Fallen Leaf Saintess and dispelling the seal placed upon her.

"Greetings, Fallen Leaf Saintess!"

Dragon Tree joined his palms together, a gentle smile gracing his features.

As the Buddha Lord's companion, holding a status akin to a co-master, Dragon Tree's demeanor was exceptionally cordial.

"This..."

Clad in white, Fallen Leaf Saintess gazed at the unfolding scene with wide, disbelieving eyes.

She had never imagined that a life-or-death crisis could be resolved with such apparent ease.

Furthermore, her companion, by means unknown to her, had managed to subdue this Half-step God Emperor Realm Dragon Tree Buddha.

No, 'liberated' was the more accurate term.

A profound sense of admiration for Ye Yun blossomed in Fallen Leaf Saintess's heart.

In an instant.

Ye Yun appeared beside Fallen Leaf Saintess, extending his hand to gently grasp her delicate, jade-like hand. He inquired with a soft smile, "Luo Ye, you must have endured much during this time!"

"I am... fine..."

Fallen Leaf Saintess's eyes welled up, her voice thick with emotion.

Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor also descended, his presence adding to the gravity of the moment.

Upon seeing his beloved disciple safe, his heart overflowed with joy, his face illuminated by a radiant smile.

After offering a few comforting words, Ye Yun surveyed his surroundings and declared with calm assurance, "From this day forward, the Holy Buddha Sect and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect shall be considered as one unified entity. Today's events conclude here..."

"Wait!"

Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor interjected, his brow furrowed. "Our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect is the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect; how can we possibly be equated with the Holy Buddha Sect? This is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Silence!"

Dragon Tree presented his palm, pushing it towards Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor.

Whump!

An overwhelming force slammed into him, immediately making it difficult for Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor to breathe, rendering him unable to speak.

"I have chosen to follow the Buddha Lord and will henceforth peacefully pursue the Supreme Buddha Dharma. As for you youngsters, if you persist in your obstinacy, do not blame me for my lack of mercy!"

Dragon Tree's expression turned icy, his tone hardening considerably.

"You have truly chosen to follow this individual?"

Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor addressed Dragon Tree Buddha, his voice laced with disbelief as he stammered, "Could it be... that his Buddhist insight surpasses yours?"

"Indeed!"

Dragon Tree affirmed without a hint of hesitation.

"I understand. In that case, I have no further objections. I shall adhere to all your decisions, Dragon Tree Buddha!"

Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor drew a deep, calming breath, his expression settling into one of acceptance.

As the saying goes, there are always individuals superior to oneself, and heavens beyond heavens.

If even the newly ascended Dragon Tree Buddha, at the Half-step God Emperor Realm, acknowledged his own inferiority in Buddhist insight, what grounds did they have to question?

"Greetings, Buddha Lord!"

A Divine King Realm expert from the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect dropped to his knees, offering a deep bow of homage to Ye Yun.

All other experts quickly followed suit, prostrating themselves before Ye Yun in respect.

Ye Yun remained impassive.

"Rise... I have matters I wish to discuss with your Sect Master!"

Ye Yun's lips curved into a faint smile as he walked towards the grand hall within, hands clasped behind his back.

Dragon Tree followed closely at his heels.

Fallen Leaf Saintess paused for a moment before following with delicate steps.

Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor remained stationary, sensing that his status made it perhaps inconvenient to follow directly.

"What does the Buddha Lord wish to inquire about?"

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor rose, uncertain of Ye Yun's inquiry and feeling a tremor of apprehension, yet he quickly followed.

Ye Yun, tracing a faint residual aura, stepped into a magnificent hall.

"It should be right here..."

Extracting the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror, Ye Yun surveyed the empty surroundings with a smile.

"Buddha Lord, this Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror was gifted to our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect by Dragon Tree Buddha. How did it come into your possession?"

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor, who had kept pace closely, was utterly astonished upon recognizing the familiar ancient mirror and couldn't help but question.

Bang!

Dragon Tree raised a hand and tapped the Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor's forehead.

"Can you speak?"

Dragon Tree boomed loudly.

"I ask for your forgiveness, Buddha Lord... spare my life..."

Nearly terrified out of his senses by the palm strike, the Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor immediately prostrated himself, imploring Ye Yun.

Disregarding him, Ye Yun held the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror aloft with one hand and commenced a thorough examination.

This mirror, naturally, had been bestowed upon Dragon Tree Buddha by the Ancestor Dragon.

At that time, Dragon Tree Buddha had departed in haste, neglecting to elaborate on the mirror's capabilities, only mentioning its utility in repelling foes.

Consequently, Ye Yun's interest was piqued.

"Why would your Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect retain a legacy of the Evil Buddha Sect on the Cangnan Continent?"

Ye Yun rotated the mirror's surface, inquiring slowly.

"Buddha Lord, after Dragon Tree Buddha attained Nirvana, he left behind the Immortal Purple Gold Body. Subsequently, the Eternal Temple dispatched envoys to claim this treasure. The Sect Master of that era refused, and secretly utilized the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror to transport Dragon Tree Buddha's Immortal Purple Gold Body and several successors to the Cangnan Continent..."

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor, daring not to withhold any information, explained with utmost sincerity.

Ye Yun's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he asked with a gentle smile, "Oh? So you are indicating that this Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror possesses the ability to transport anyone to the Cangnan Continent?"

"Indeed, I would not dare deceive the Buddha Lord. Dragon Tree Buddha's return this time is because he awakened on the Cangnan Continent and, utilizing the formation there, activated the mirror for a reverse transmission!"

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor stated.

"Intriguing!"

Ye Yun nodded, reaching out to touch the mirror's surface as if lost in thought.

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor then elaborated, "Buddha Lord, the individuals we left behind were 'corpse people,' who, through generations on the Cangnan Continent, eternally guarded Dragon Tree Buddha's Immortal Purple Gold Body. In those days, to elude the Eternal Temple's suspicion, they dared not identify themselves as the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect, instead adopting the guise of the Evil Buddha Sect to conceal the truth..."

"Your Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect is quite audacious, defying the edicts of the Eternal Temple."

Ye Yun remarked with a smile.

"There was no alternative; the physical significance of Dragon Tree Buddha was too immense to fall into the Eternal Temple's grasp. The Sect Master of that era had no recourse but to adopt this stratagem. Fortunately, the Eternal Temple did not pursue the matter further!"

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor sighed, a bitter smile gracing his lips.

Ye Yun casually handed the Eight Treasures Delicate Mirror back to Dragon Tree, his gaze glinting, and gently commanded, "Use this mirror to transport me to the Cangnan Continent..."

"Buddha Lord, you must not! The Cangnan Continent is afflicted by a dreadful curse. Once you enter, your cultivation base could be indefinitely impeded!"

The Red Cloud Buddha Ancestor exclaimed in alarm, hastily offering his counsel.
