Chapter 2012 - Good and Evil

A path opened up in the sea. Right now, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect basically already bordered on the boundless seashore. Qin Wentian and the rest stood within the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and could clearly see the enemy experts.

The western world, the hegemonic powers led by Yue Changkong, as well as Che Hou.

A mighty pressure gushed over. Even the waves of the Boundless Sea Region were affected. This pressure was too strong. Such a formation of enemies truly could dominate everything.

Only to see a buddhist cultivator walking out from the area where the western world occupies. This was a buddha lord. He stood beside the ancient gigantic buddha in the lead and stared in the direction of the Qin heavenly Divine Sect as he pressed his palms together. “Sir Qin, I trust you have been well since we last met.”

“We aren’t friends, save it.” Qin Wentian coldly replied. In fact, he couldn’t even be bothered to cast a glance at this hypocrite.

“Since this is the case, I won’t beat around the bush then.” That buddha lord spoke. “Sir Qin, you monopolized the Heaven Vault and used it to threaten all the experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, destroying multiple hegemonic powers, tyrannically lording over the world, doing whatever you desire. The buddha is merciful, our Buddhist Sect decided to head east and resolve this crisis posted to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms by the power you have established. If Sir Qin still has kindness in your heart, you should lay down the slaughter knife and convert to Buddhism.”

The voice of this buddha lord rang out through heaven and earth. Golden light flashed, appearing incomparably holy. However, when the people of the Heaven Vault heard these words, they couldn’t help but to curse.

“Only today did I know the most shameless people are all from the western world. What a high ‘realm’ they reached, to think that they could actually speak such shameless words.” Luoshen Chuan coldly spoke. He then continued, “The western world heads to the east and on their way here, the people in the places where you all passed by, have all effectively turned into your puppets. What’s the difference between such methods and Yue Changkong? The acts you committed are also that of evil.”

“They originally already allied with Yue Changkong, and it isn’t just a single time. They wear the clothes of buddhist cultivators but are in fact, nothing but an evil sect. Even so, they still wanted to openly say that they are the epitome of kindness. How disgusting.” The Heaven Devouring Devil Sovereign looked down on the behavior of the Buddhist Sect. For this journey, the western world has actually taken so many innocent people as hostages, brainwashing them. It was unknown how many of these brainwashed people are currently in their army.

“The people of the world are foolish, trapped by their own desires. Our Buddhist Sect delivered them from their desires as we head to the east and we have never killed a single human or beast at all. These people are all fully willing to follow us and have decided to convert their faith to Buddhism, letting go of everything and entered the buddha dao. This can be described as ‘Under the world, all hearts are united, an irresistible trend.’” That buddha lord calmly replied, his skin was so thick that it was unbelievable.

“ROAR!” Little Rascal transformed into a giant beast and bared his fangs. He wanted nothing more than to kill his way over and devour these shameless buddhist cultivators.

“Kidnapping the people of the world, using buddhist arts to control their thinking. Is this the so-called ‘kindness’ of the buddhist sect?” Qin Wentian mockingly laughed. The ‘kindness’ of the western world ran in the opposite direction of the kindness of the true buddha dao.

“Buddhist arts would never seek to control the hearts of people. It would only teach people to let go. Those with evil thoughts would be able to let their evil thoughts go, those who covet authority and power would be able to lay down their desires. Everyone in the world would turn to Buddhism, this is the grand dao of the heavens and earth.” That buddha lord spoke, like his words were logical and right. This most probably was the pinnacle of shamelessness and hypocrisy.

Qin Wentian and the others were thinking whether if these buddhist cultivators were truly ignorant of the nature of their actions or not.

“But I heard that the journey of the western world caused many families to break up, there were even deaths that occurred. Those people let go of everything to join with you, forgetting who they were in reality, including their loved ones. Is this the grand dao of the western world?”

“Since they can put everything down, this meant that they have buddha in their heart. This is nothing but them managing to return to their true natures. What’s wrong with that? Look at them now, all they know is tranquility and peace, they are much happier and at ease than before.” The buddha lord calmly spoke. He then continued, “Sect Leader Qin. Our Buddhist Sect didn’t travel all the way here to discuss the dao with you. The Heaven Vault is considered a weapon that could dictate the fate of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. For this weapon, our western world is willing to be responsible and take charge of it. If Sect Leader Qin truly cares about the world, we hope that you wouldn’t reject this and create needless sins of killing.”

“Your mother’s fart!” Some disciples of the Qin heavenly Divine Sect were completely enraged after hearing this, they couldn’t help but curse out loud. This was simply unbelievable, there would actually be someone so shameless in this world. Although Yue Changkong was evil, he is outrightly evil. Everyone knew this, he wouldn’t hide behind a false front. But these bald donkeys were truly the epitome of shamelessness. Controlling others was nothing but ‘deliverance’ for those controlled in their eyes. They wanted to seize the Heaven Vault and ‘take charge’ of it.

“This bunch of bald donkeys, they must have gold placed on their faces. Even powerful dao arts wouldn’t be able to tear through the thickness of their skin.” Many people involuntarily cursed.

Qin Wentian was also speechless. The heavenly deities around him were all enraged when they heard that. They were the controllers of the Heaven Vault but these bald donkeys actually have the face to say that if they care about the world, they shouldn’t reject this? It was like the Heaven Vault should belong to the Buddhist Sect by right. If they rejected this arrangement, they would be in the wrong and they would be evil.

In any case, their action of taking over the Heaven Vault was an act of kindness to the world. It was the supreme logic of the heavenly dao.

And if one might ask, other than the western world, are there any other powers out there who could speak of seizing the Heaven Vault so calmly and righteously? I shall seize your belongings but I’m righteous. If you resist, you are evil. It was one thing if the western world was as evil as Yue Changkong. But the truth was, despite their evil natures, they still had to hide behind a facade where everyone could see their true colors. This was truly unbearable.

It was one thing to be evil, there’s no need to put on a robe of righteousness to cover up your nature. How shameless can this be?

Even Yue Changkong who was standing at the side couldn’t help but grin evilly. These bald donkeys were as shameless as ever. He then laughed, “The western world is thinking of the world. This is an act of great kindness and this action is also necessary given the general trend of things. Qin Wentian, if you know what’s good for you, you should submit right now. The Buddhist Sect is merciful in nature, they will spare your lives.”

As Yue Changkong spoke, he was also grinning.

And as for Che Hou, he had no emotions on his face. Although he was sentient and had intelligence not inferior to humans, his true form was something that was transformed from a divine weapon which seized fortune from the heavens and earth to be born. He wouldn’t have so many complicated emotions.

“There are many incorrigible people in the world. Benefactor Yue might have gone astray but his heart is still one that is inclined towards the buddha. He is willing to take control of the Heaven Vault as well along with us, doing a great act of kindness. In the future, our Buddhist Sect will try our best to influence Benefactor Yue to do good.” The buddha lord calmly spoke. Qin Wentian started. After that, he nodded his head, he was truly and utterly speechless. So, Yue Changkong joined forces with them to seize the Heaven Vault and this was interpreted as an act of kindness. An evil villain had the chance to become good, but they, who were the controllers of the Heaven Vault, were the evil ones.

Qin Wentian understood that words were useless. You would never know where the limits of your opponent lie. The extent of their shamelessness was truly unprecedented even in ancient times.

Yue Changkong also had a strange expression on his face. A faint smile could still be seen, seemingly somewhat evil. However, his tone sounded respectful as he spoke, “Reverend’s words make sense, as expected of an esteemed monk.”

“Our Buddhist Sect is willing to give Sect Leader Qin the chance to turn to good. But if Sect Leader Qin refuses us, for the sake of the world, our Buddhist Sect can only choose to act against you.” The buddha lord spoke.

“Isn’t reverend afraid of creating the sin of killing?” Someone asked.

“If we don’t enter hell, who will?” That buddha lord pressed his palms together and solemnly stated. Qin Wentian nodded, “I’m also concerned for the world and wish to do great kindness. I have no wish to disrupt the great order of the world. But my act of kindness is one that doesn’t permit the western world to exist. I will make the western world disappear from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms forever.”

At the end of his sentence, Qin Wentian’s tone turned ice-cold.

From his perspective, the evil nature of the western world wasn’t inferior to Yue Changkong at all. They spoke of doing good yet their actions were the opposite. They controlled the people of the world, brainwashing them to convert their faith, making them let go of everything except for the buddha dao. This was a true act of great evil.

After hearing Qin Wentian’s words, all the buddhist cultivators present pressed their palms together. That gigantic ancient golden buddha began to radiate a bright light that illuminated the surroundings, enveloping this space. In this instant, the sounds of buddhic chants rang out from all the buddhist cultivators. A moment later, boundless buddhic light shone resplendently, manifesting an endless number of brahmic runes. The deities beside Yue Changkong frowned and sealed their senses while trying to steady their minds. They didn’t want the buddhic chants to influence them.

Many people in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect instantly felt a loss of control. Very soon, there were people who actually pressed their palms together and began to join in the chants. Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian and the others furrowed their brows. The western world’s methods were truly mysterious. People below the heavenly deity realm were basically helpless to resist their influence.

“ZHA!” Qin Wentian roared, his voice sounded out loud right in the minds of everyone, shaking the hearts of those present, awakening them. After that, he gave the command, “Everyone retreat into the Heaven Vault.”

Those disciples of the divine sect below the heavenly deity realm all retreated. They would die for sure if they joined the battle and could only be cannon fodder. Retreating was the only option for them.

Everyone’s expressions were extreme unsightly. Although they wanted to fight together with their sect leader and kill these bald donkeys, the sounds of the buddhic chants were in fact, even more terrifying than the whispers of the devil. They had no way to resist its influence at all. They could only speed up and retreat into the Heaven Vault.

“Bzz~” A golden bolt of lightning arced through the sky, moving in the direction of the Heaven Vault. This was none other than the human-formed weapon Che Hou.

Qin Yuanfeng coldly snorted. He stretched his hand out and blasted out a punch. In an instant, the power of six paths manifested, becoming six terrifying vortices. Che Hou’s dao of chaos manifested as he caused millions of divine weapons to materialize, each imbued with a different dao art. He clashed head-on against the power of the six paths, the impact creating numerous tears in space. Even the boundless sea below was split apart as huge cracks appeared in the ground, continuously extending outwards.

In addition, the two of them didn’t stop after the initial clash. The force of the six paths transformed into six beams of light. The dao of chaos was also unleashed frenziedly but in the end, Che Hou didn’t force his way through. Both of them merely attacked casually, yet the might they unleashed was so shocking.

If they fought seriously, they would undoubtedly be able to destroy the Boundless Sea Region effortlessly.

“Qin Yuanfeng.” Che Hou glanced at the imposing figure faraway. He didn’t expect that after his transformation and after gaining insight into the dao of chaos, there would actually be two people in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect able to contend against him. This era was truly a special one.

Most probably, back then during the era of the eight ancient godkings, the pinnacle of power should be roughly at this level too.

However, that glorious era would come to a conclusion in this battle. There would only be a single person that can conquer and unify the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms in this era!
