Chapter 229: Eastern Wu Divine Realm, Sun Quan

White-Robed Buddha entered the Crimson Cloud Realm. He did not immediately head to the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality but instead wandered around the Mortal Realm.

Since he was not in a rush, Han Jue was not in a rush either. He could kill him in seconds anyway. Han Jue continued to Cultivate.

White-Robed Buddha actually began to propagate the methods of cultivation.

However…

This guy was not propagating Buddhist Dharma, but Daoist Dharma.

While Cultivating, Han Jue saw his actions through the heavenly dao token and was speechless. A double agent! Working to restore the fallen regime in secret? Han Jue found it amusing.

"Could it be that he does not want to bring the World Honored Buddha Ancestor back, so he has been stalling for time? After all, he is an undercover agent for the Daoist Sect's Chan School."

Han Jue had a sudden realization; this explained everything.

Was White-Robed Buddha not afraid of being divined by the Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor? Han Jue could not figure it out and could only continue to observe.

In a flash, twenty years passed.

The Chan School's Daoist Dharma began to flourish in the Crimson Cloud Realm, with many Chan School Sects emerging in various provinces. Although this had not yet caused a stir in the cultivation world, Han Jue could see White-Robed Buddha's layout through the heavenly dao token.

Han Jue did not care; the cultivation world was already diverse, so what did adding one more Chan School faction matter? As long as it did not affect him, it was fine.

On this day, White-Robed Buddha arrived before the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality, wanting to visit the people on the mountain.

Unfortunately, no matter how he called out, no one responded. White-Robed Buddha frowned.

A Disciple of the Yuqing Sacred Sect kneeling before the stone tablet spoke up: "Stop shouting. This mountain is an Immortal Mountain; is it somewhere you can just ascend whenever you want?"

The other kneeling Disciples chimed in with mockery.

White-Robed Buddha shook his head and chuckled; a group of Mortals was truly ridiculous. He directly flashed to beneath the fusang tree.

The people under the tree immediately opened their eyes.

Long Hao stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

Black Hell Chicken, Three-Headed Flood Dragon King, Tu Linger, Zhou Mingyue, Xun Changan, Chu Shiren, and the two Golden Crows all opened their eyes.

White-Robed Buddha scanned the group, his face showing surprise.

"Golden Crows… primordial spirit ginseng… World Honored Buddha… aura of the Heavenly Emperor… and that Demon Saint…"

White-Robed Buddha was shocked in his heart.

What kind of hellish place was this? How could so many people with great Luck gather here?

He recognized the primordial spirit ginseng; he had dealt with it before. The aura of the Heavenly Emperor on Long Hao was too strong, and he even looked like the Heavenly Emperor. White-Robed Buddha's heart sank. No wonder the Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor gave him the Tathagata Buddha Staff.

"White-Robed Buddha, why have you come?" Xun Changan asked in a deep voice, his tone heavy.

In the Buddhist Sect, he was merely a pet, or perhaps even a slave; he used to have to look up to White-Robed Buddha.

White-Robed Buddha smiled and said: "I have come to take the Buddha Ancestor back."

Buddha Ancestor? Xun Changan was so frightened his expression changed drastically.

The others were also spooked. Who was the Buddha Ancestor? They immediately thought of Han Jue. In the eyes of these Disciples and Grand-disciples, Han Jue had always been very mysterious.

"Master is the Buddha Ancestor? How is that possible…"

Xun Changan was terrified; if Han Jue were the Buddha Ancestor, would that not mean he had been played by the Buddhist Sect all along?

Just then, White-Robed Buddha looked at Chu Shiren and asked with a smile: "Buddha Ancestor, shall we return?"

Swish— Everyone cast their gaze onto Chu Shiren. Zhou Mingyue was even full of pleasant surprise. My Master is the Buddha Ancestor?

Chu Shiren was dumbfounded and said: "How could I be the Buddha Ancestor? Do not slander me!"

Could the Buddha he encountered in his dreams be the Buddha Ancestor?

"He cannot leave with you. You may go." Han Jue's voice drifted out from the Immortal Cave.

White-Robed Buddha could not help but turn his head toward the Innate Cave Mansion, but his Divine Sense could not probe into the cave.

The Dao Field could block Divine Sense probing from those below the God Realm!

The reason White-Robed Buddha was able to enter was that Han Jue had not activated the Dao Field's defensive array, as his Disciples often went out.

"Who is Your Excellency? You should not be an ordinary Mortal Realm Immortal, right?"

White-Robed Buddha asked with a smile, filled with curiosity about Han Jue.

Han Jue's voice followed, drifting out: "If it were not for the fact that your heart is not truly with the Buddhist Sect, I would not have allowed you into the Mortal Realm, and I might have even killed you."

As soon as these words were spoken, White-Robed Buddha's expression changed drastically. What did that sentence mean?

White-Robed Buddha feigned calmness and smiled: "Amitabha, why would my heart not be truly with the Buddhist Sect?"

"Are you sure you want me to expose it? Remember, there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven."

Now, White-Robed Buddha was completely unsettled and dared not ask further.

He asked in a deep voice: "Who exactly is Your Excellency?"

"Eastern Wu Divine Realm, Sun Quan."

White-Robed Buddha frowned tightly. Where was the Eastern Wu Divine Realm? To be able to call itself a Divine Realm, it must be extraordinary!

"After three breaths, if you do not leave, then don't bother leaving at all." Han Jue's voice followed.

White-Robed Buddha instinctively felt danger and, terrified, immediately disappeared from the spot.

The others looked at each other in confusion.

Zhou Mingyue muttered in surprise: "Isn't Grandmaster called…"

Black Hell Chicken glared at him and cursed: "Shut up! What do you know! Master is doing this to avoid unnecessary trouble!"

Zhou Mingyue had a sudden realization.

…

At the end of the world.

White-Robed Buddha appeared in a forest, gasping for air.

"That feeling just now… was the other party an Immortal Emperor?"

White-Robed Buddha was drenched in cold sweat; when Han Jue's Reincarnation Sword Intent locked onto him, he felt the breath of death.

"Eastern Wu Divine Realm, Sun Quan… the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms truly hide many crouching tigers and hidden dragons."

White-Robed Buddha sighed. He did not harbor hatred toward Han Jue; it was clear Han Jue did not want to cause trouble, which was why he did not strike.

He himself did not want to take the World Honored Buddha Ancestor back; he was just going through the motions.

Now it was fine; it was not that he did not want to invite him back, but that he could not move him. White-Robed Buddha developed a strong interest in Sun Quan. How many factions did the Heavenly Court actually associate with?

"Forget it, I will just hide here and Cultivate. I should achieve the status of Immortal Emperor first. Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor knows my identity."

White-Robed Buddha thought silently, then walked in one direction.

…

[White-Robed Buddha has developed favorability toward you; current favorability is 2 stars]

Seeing the line of text before him, a huge question mark popped up in Han Jue's mind.

Wait! So he was an ally? No wonder Martial Virtue Divine Lord let White-Robed Buddha in. The Heavenly Court and the Chan School were on good terms?

Han Jue really wanted to take out the heavenly dao token to ask, but he was afraid that knowing too much would be detrimental to himself.

"That is correct. The Daoist Sect's Chan School is on good terms with me. I have long known of White-Robed Buddha's identity, but this matter must not be spread, and do not tell Taibai about it. As for White-Robed Buddha, let him stay in the Crimson Cloud Realm; he can even help you."

The Heavenly Emperor's voice entered Han Jue's ears, just as Han Jue had guessed.

Han Jue took a deep breath and nodded. This counted as answering the Heavenly Emperor.

Tsk tsk. These big shots really know how to play; they even keep their trusted aides in the dark. The Heavenly Court has undercover agents from other factions, and the Buddhist Sect has undercover agents from the Heavenly Court?

Enlightenment Sword asked curiously: "Master, is Chu Shiren really the Buddha Ancestor?"

She remembered Han Jue saying that Murong Qi was not the one with the greatest past life background.

Han Jue closed his eyes and said: "Do not ask what you should not ask. Cultivate well; I hope that one day you can help me block invaders."

Upon hearing this, Enlightenment Sword could not help but feel ashamed and dared not ask any more.

Afterward, White-Robed Buddha continued to walk the Mortal Realm, preaching and teaching.

Han Jue still kept a guard up to prevent White-Robed Buddha from causing trouble.

Thirty years later.

Han Jue sensed something, opened his eyes, and took out the heavenly dao token.

The heavenly dao token became scorching hot and trembled incessantly.
