Chapter 741: Chapter 466 Rewards and Wisdom Roots_2

No matter whether it was techniques, scriptures, or magical treasures, Vast Wilderness was especially generous with its rewards.

It continued the grand spectacle that had started back during the Qingyun List’s descent, reminiscent of the challenge at the Dao Repository Pavilion.

"The Chaos Martial Ancestor still is willing to invest so much, one wonders where Chaos Martial Ancestor gets such a profound foundation," Supreme of Light complained.

After numerous arena battles, this had been no small expenditure.

Even the Supremes felt their scalps tingle at the thought, and with their countless years of accumulation, they dared not make such promises, let alone fulfill them all.

"What do you think is Chaos Martial Ancestor’s purpose in expending so much effort to nurture the Creatures of the Primordial?" Origin Supreme asked.

The Supremes had never had a definitive answer to this question.

Why?

For those Supremes, personal strength was real power, yet for some reason, the Chaos Martial Ancestor kept pouring resources into nurturing the Creatures of the Primordial.

He had even supported three Supremes.

It was truly unfathomable.

"Chaos Martial Ancestor must be playing a grand game. The Creatures of the Primordial must play a crucial role in it," Mystery Supreme said solemnly.

The other Supremes couldn’t help but roll their eyes at him.

What gibberish.

Weren’t his words equivalent to saying nothing?

Listening to your words is just like listening to someone speaking?

Mystery Supreme seemed a bit embarrassed and continued, "Regardless, we’ve lost the opportunity to completely eradicate Primordial. If we could do it over, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning would probably be even more eager than us to eliminate Primordial. It’s too late to say anything now, our only option is to wholeheartedly discuss cooperation with Primordial."

The other Supremes fell silent.

They had watched Primordial grow step by step.

In the beginning, Primordial didn’t even have a single Saint Emperor, let alone a Supreme.

Now, Primordial had fully grown into a towering tree.

No longer easily shaken.

Even without the existence of the Chaos Martial Ancestor, it could rank as a major force.

Talking about this now seemed to have little effect.

"If I could see the Chaos Martial Ancestor just once, this trip would be without a single regret," Supreme of the Dao Realm pondered.

There were things he really wanted to confirm.

Talking about the urgency of Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, in fact, he was even more eager than the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning himself.

Because his game was even bigger than that of the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning.

"If Chaos Martial Ancestor doesn’t come forward voluntarily, who else could force them out?" Supreme of the Blue Waves said.

And the Supreme of the Dao Realm seemed to have thought of something, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes.

If he could force the Chaos Martial Ancestor to show up, he was willing to sacrifice a trump card he had prepared for a long time.

At this moment, in Vast Wilderness, the arena battles were still underway with great vigor.

On the other hand, at the Buddha Sect, there were movements afoot.

Buddha’s light illuminated all, bringing peace to everything.

The countless Creatures of the Heavens basked in the Buddha’s light. Although they seemed calm on the outside, their hearts began to grow anxious.

They saw the potential in Primordial and hoped to enter through the Buddha Sect.

At this time, they were all waiting for the Buddha Sect’s judgment.

"I believe I am destined to be chosen this time. Although many beings participated in the Buddha Sect’s selection, there are only a few Saint Emperors. With my formidable strength, I will surely be selected," a Saint Emperor declared confidently.

"The Buddha Sect doesn’t just look at strength; it looks at wisdom. If you lack wisdom, strength alone is not enough,"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Some were full of confidence, while others were nervous.

At that moment, a great Buddha, an incarnation of Jieyin, appeared; he waved his hand, and a thousand streaks of light fled from the Creatures of the Heavens, landing on the Merit Lotus.

"My fellow devotees, these are the beings with a connection to our Buddha Sect. As for the rest, they have no destiny with us. In our western lands, there are plenty of opportunities, and you are free to explore," Jieyin’s voice rang out again.

The Creatures of the Heavens were puzzled and perplexed.

They had been full of anticipation, only to end up with a mere participation award?

However, the vast majority had no complaints, as they had merely come to try their luck.

But some were not so content.

"Jieyin Saint Emperor, I admit that I am no match for the top Saint Emperors of all heavens, but my strength is not weak among the Saint Emperors. Moreover, among the participating beings, my strength ranks in the top hundred. Why then am I not selected this time?" the earlier Saint Emperor was indignant as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Some other beings felt the same. With that Saint Emperor taking the lead, many expressed their dissatisfaction.

You of the Buddha Sect speak of opening the door of convenience widely; they are more outstanding and should be more eligible.

"Esteemed guests, please calm your agitation. Our Buddha Sect values the equality of all beings. Those with fate and wisdom, all may enter our Buddha Sect. The stronger the Buddha nature, the greater the opportunity. Although you, benefactors, possess formidable strength, you do not seem to have the root of wisdom, thus the Buddha Sect does not accept you, please return!" Jieyin replied calmly, with a slow and soft voice.

Yet, internally he was scoffing, clearly unaware of his own disgraceful behavior.

So many Creatures of the Heavens come to the Buddha Sect for the household registration of the Primordial Creatures.

However, Jieyin and Zhunti would not dare to open the gates and let just anyone in.

Should anything go awry, they could surely not bear the consequences.

Being powerful, having high roots of wisdom, and extraordinary talents are not their most important criteria for assessment.

The most important criterion is purity!

For instance, this Saint Emperor currently shouting was clearly planted by some Supreme.

Could they accept such a person?

To still be shouting in front of the Buddha Sect, how could he be even more shameless than those two?

Moreover, the Saint Emperor was clearly dissatisfied with Jieyin’s answer.

"Your Buddha Sect is being unfair!" he exclaimed.

Upon his words, many other Creatures of the Heavens echoed in agreement.

They all wanted to enter the Primordial, but had failed for various reasons.

They were surely harboring discontent.

Now, with someone leading the charge, they were naturally willing to make a fuss; maybe they could get another chance?

"Ah—"

However, at that moment, suddenly a scream erupted.

Just then, a Zen Staff descended from the sky, striking directly upon the head of that Saint Emperor.

Struck by this blow, the Saint Emperor’s soul shook violently, and his Primordial Source was severely damaged.

Hiss—

Everyone fell silent as if stricken by winter’s chill.

They all turned to look at Jieyin.

They had all witnessed clearly that the Zen Staff had flown out from Mount Ling.

"The Buddha Sect is a place of purity and should not be disturbed with loud noises. If the disciples of our sect are disturbed, the blessed staff could not overlook it!" Jieyin said slowly and leisurely.

Creatures of the Heavens: ...

What ’blessed staff could not overlook it’, it was clearly you who made the move, really good at finding excuses!

Believe you? Nonsense, baldy!

But that move by Jieyin truly did intimidate the Creatures of the Heavens.

From that single strike, it was clear that this bald monk before them was very powerful.

Considering that the Saint Emperor who was just struck down was also not weak, but was left stunned by a single blow, who would dare to cause trouble now?

"I trust that you are all reasonable beings, and when next time comes, if our Buddha Sect has available spots, we will surely inform you," Jieyin smiled again kindly.

"Then we thank Saint Emperor Jieyin," they said.

The crowd paid their respects and dispersed noisily.

As for the previously troublemaking Saint Emperor, he did not dare to linger.

Although his Primordial Source was greatly injured and he was very angry, his anger was of no consequence.

And he was certain that if he continued to stay, his death was assured.

Never mind the kind-looking monk, nor the present peacefulness of the Primordial; these people, when they kill, are each more fierce than the last.

"Amitabha! That these benefactors know when to retreat is a virtue above all others," Jieyin chanted a Buddha chant and then escorted the selected one thousand beings away.

In this group of a thousand, some were quite strong, and some had talents and the root of wisdom to comprehend the Buddhist Law.

Although the Buddha Sect always considered itself impoverished, as of today, it was not just anyone they would accept, nor would they desire just any person.

The Buddha Sect, now among the Heavens, is quite a formidable power.

Their threshold is naturally not too low.

This was also Jieyin and Zhunti’s confidence.

Now, they were taking people away, meaning to fully initiate those people into the monastic life.

After all, the most important point, no matter how strong your strength or how high your talents, if you cannot be converted, it is all in vain; the Buddha Sect would not take you in.
