Chapter 1569: Wulin Saint Ancestor

The bone domain.

Located in the eastern part of the Lone Sun Continent, further east is the boundless ocean.

The White Buddha City in the Dry Bone Domain is one of the few large cities belonging to the Buddhist sect in the Dry Bone Domain. It is also the only way for all Buddhist monks in the Golden Light Domain to enter and exit the Lonely Sun Continent.

Xiao Lin spent thousands of first-level fairy stones to obtain the qualification to use this cross-domain teleportation array and was teleported to Baifo City.

As soon as he entered Baifo City, Xiao Lin saw countless ethnic groups in the city. These people had no magical powers and were just ordinary mortals. Although they were of different races, they had one thing in common, that is, they were all pale and thin, with bony bodies, as if they were skeletons wrapped in skin.

Especially on both sides of the wide streets, many people knelt on the ground, clasped their hands together, and muttered something.

When Xiao Lin saw this scene, he also showed a puzzled expression. The spiritual world was vast and boundless. Although there were many mortals, there was abundant material resources. After all, cultivators did not need food. Therefore, Xiao Lin almost never saw ordinary mortals who had no food to eat in the Holy Moon Continent, no matter what race they were.

But seeing such a scene here really puzzled Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin walked on the street, watching the people coming and going. From time to time, some Buddhist monks would lower their heads and hurriedly pass by on the street. Their figures were like a dream, and each step they took would often cover a distance of dozens of feet.

These Buddhist monks all had a deep understanding of Buddhism, but they never even glanced at the hungry people on both sides of the street, and there wasn't even a trace of pity in their eyes.

Xiao Lin also noticed that the cultivators in the city were not only Buddhist cultivators, there were also a few immortal cultivators and even demon cultivators wrapped in black robes. In addition, there were cultivators of various races, all kinds of different shapes and sizes.

This also made Xiao Lin feel relieved. He was originally worried that if everyone in Baifo City were Buddhist monks, wouldn't a cultivator like him be too conspicuous? Once he was noticed, it would not be a good thing.

"Huh?" After walking in the city for about half an hour, Xiao Lin discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, among the beggar-like crowds on both sides of the street, many demonic monks began to appear.

These demonic monks were dressed in rags and had terrified expressions on their faces. They seemed to be no better than those skinny ordinary mortals.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel strange, so he came to the side of the road and asked a thirty-year-old demon cultivator who looked relatively good: "My fellow Taoist, what is the reason that brought you to this White Buddha City for refuge? Aren't Buddhism and Demonism incompatible?"

Upon hearing this, the demon cultivator showed a surprised expression on his face: "Did you come to White Buddha City from somewhere else and don't know the current situation of the Dry Bone Domain?"

Seeing Xiao Lin nod, the man sighed and continued speaking.

It turns out that the south of the Dry Bone Domain is still under the control of the Demon Domain. The demonic forces are headed by the Demon Soul Sect, which controls dozens of large and small demonic sects, and are in competition with the White Buddha Temple. The two major forces have been hostile to each other for tens of thousands of years. Recently, as the demonic monks began to shrink and the Buddhist sect also temporarily suspended the spread of their faith, the Buddhist and demon sects in the Dry Bone Domain have been at peace for thousands of years.

Until more than ten years ago, all this suddenly changed. The Demon Soul Sect originally sacrificed and refined eighty-one Demon Soul Banners, which were the most precious treasures of the demon path and the foundation of the Demon Soul Sect. Each Demon Soul Banner contained hundreds of millions of spirits. Once they were sacrificed, dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, and ghosts cried and gods howled. It is said that even the four-fruit Buddha and Bodhisattva could not resist, and under these endless demon souls, their golden bodies dissipated and their bodies and souls were destroyed.

The White Buddha Temple was also well aware that with its own strength, even if it sent out all its troops, it could only end up in a fight with the Demon Soul Sect and both sides would suffer heavy losses, but it would not be able to truly destroy this great demonic sect that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

Although the Demon Soul Sect possessed eighty-one Demon Soul Banners, it was also well aware of the power of the Buddhist Sect. Not to mention that the White Buddha Temple was one of the hundred great upper houses with countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Even if the Demon Soul Sect could destroy the White Buddha Temple, it would be rebuilt again under the call of the Buddha in the Great Bodhi Temple. Moreover, if it attracted the siege of several upper houses, the Demon Soul Sect would be destroyed.

Once the Demon Soul is destroyed, it will not be able to make a comeback. After all, the Demonic Sect is not like the Buddhist Sect, which is united as a whole, but each one is independent. Otherwise, with the overall strength of the Demonic Sect, it is impossible for it to be suppressed by the Buddhist Sect all the time.

But one day more than ten years ago, the Demon Soul Sect suddenly announced that the former sect leader had died suddenly, and the new sect leader called himself Saint Ancestor Wu Lin. The eighty-one Demon Soul Banners were originally controlled by the eight elders and the sect leader of the Demon Soul Sect, with each of them controlling nine banners. After Saint Ancestor Wu Lin took over as the sect leader of the Demon Soul Sect, he not only re-refined the nine Demon Soul Banners left by the former sect leader, but also killed countless lives for this, even the demon monks were not spared, making the power of the nine Demon Soul Banners doubled.

He then recalled several elders who were in charge of the Demon Soul Banner and tried to take it back.

The Demon Soul Banner was originally the sacred weapon of the Demon Soul Sect. The reason why it was wielded by eight elders and the sect master was because of its great power. Once the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners were combined into one, they could form the Five Hells of Demon Heaven formation, transforming an area into a demonic realm and exterminating all living things.

Even the cruel and murderous demon monks dare not use this kind of heaven-defying magic formation lightly. After all, no one can bear the karma that will result from excessive killing.

However, this Saint Ancestor Wu Lin seemed to be completely unconcerned about the law of cause and effect, and killed at will. After countless years of sacrifice and refinement, the number of spirits in each of the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners was close to hundreds of millions. However, Saint Ancestor Wu Lin seemed to think that this was not enough, and not only did he refine the eighty-one Demon Soul Banners with new materials, he also forcibly increased the number of spirits in them by tens of millions.

You should know that these tens of millions of spirits are all cultivators of magic who have practiced the magic techniques. Of course, there are also many Buddhist and Taoist monks who have cultivated their primordial spirits. It is said that in just over ten years since they took charge of the Demon Soul Sect, they have massacred several cities controlled by Buddhist and Taoist monks, and killed countless Buddhist and Taoist monks. This even alarmed the three Great Sun Bodhisattvas of the White Buddha Temple.

These three Mahavairocana Bodhisattvas are all great Buddhist figures with compassion for the world, and they have all made a great vow to save all living beings. Therefore, the three of them went to the Demon Soul Sect to try to persuade the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin to let go of his murderous intentions and at the same time save the souls of the dead.

Unfortunately, after these three Great Sun Bodhisattvas went to the Demon Soul Sect, there was no news of them anymore and they disappeared without a trace.

This shocked the entire White Buddha Temple. The fighting power of the Great Sun Bodhisattva was even greater than that of a Mahayana cultivator. There were three Great Sun Bodhisattvas. Even the Holy Ancestor Lingzun could not kill all three of them at the same time.

But the three of them disappeared silently in the Demon Soul Sect. The most important thing was that the Yuan Buddha Lamps left by the three Vairocana Bodhisattvas in the White Buddha Temple were also extinguished. In other words, the three of them were destroyed both physically and spiritually, and even the golden body of Buddha had not escaped.

This shocked the three Mahavairocana Buddhas who had been meditating in the White Buddha Temple. They quickly informed the Mahabodhi Temple of the matter through secret methods.

The loss of three Mahavairocana Bodhisattvas at once has almost never happened in the history of Buddhism. The three Mahavairocana Buddhas did not dare to act rashly. Although the paths of cultivation of Mahavairocana Buddha and Mahavairocana Bodhisattva were different, their magical powers were almost the same. Since the Demon Soul Sect could kill three Mahavairocana Bodhisattvas at once, then it would naturally be possible for them to kill the three Mahavairocana Buddhas.

Therefore, before the Mahabodhi Temple issued the decree, the White Buddha Temple closed its doors and activated a large temple protection formation. Even the disciples who were traveling outside were called back.

Baifo City was only a thousand miles away from Baifo Temple. Most of the skinny mortals and monks that Xiao Lin saw had escaped from the Demonic Realm. Many of them had even managed to escape the killing by the Demonic Soul Banner and saved their lives. They entered Baifo City to seek shelter.

What also shocked Xiao Lin was that the Black Scale Saint Ancestor had only snatched thirty-six Demon Soul Banners and had not actually gathered all eighty-one Demon Soul Banners. He also had not set up the legendary and extremely terrifying Five Hells of the Devil's Sky Formation, turning an area of ​​100,000 miles into Hell.

Xiao Lin had never imagined that on this Lonely Sun Continent, the magic path would be so prosperous. Not only did it occupy nearly half of the entire continent, but now it even had a giant magic path like the Demon Soul Sect.

Moreover, Xiao Lin also learned from this person that there are three major demon sects in the Demon Realm, which are the most powerful and each controls several areas of land. The Demon Soul Sect is not one of the three major demon sects, but is merely a first-rate sect under the three major demon sects.

In the past, even the White Buddha Temple might not have taken it seriously, but the terrifying strength it displayed now made even several Vairocana Buddhas in the White Buddha Temple tremble with fear.

After Xiao Lin heard this, he secretly felt that something was wrong.

Since the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin had killed three Mahavairocana Bodhisattvas, he had formed a mortal feud with the Buddhist Sect. Based on Xiao Lin's understanding of the Buddhist Sect's vengeful character, the Buddhist Sect would never let this go.

Since the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin dared to kill three Great Sun Bodhisattvas, he was naturally a fearless person. After he obtained all the Demon Soul Banners, he might directly attack the White Buddha Temple.

Am I not putting myself in danger by staying in Baifo City?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin planned to leave the White Buddha Temple immediately. His purpose was not to get involved in the battle between Buddha and demon, but to find a way to enter the Mahabodhi Temple and obtain the complete practice method of Vajra Meditation.

Just when Xiao Lin was about to leave Baifo City, he saw a huge pressure suddenly coming from the void. The pressure shook the entire Baifo City. Then, dark clouds gathered from the void above his head, then rotated and surged in all directions.

The dark cloud that suddenly appeared was not just one, but groups of dark clouds were also surging in the distance, turning into vortices, covering the entire sky in an instant.

Baifo City, which had just had a clear sky, suddenly fell into pitch darkness.

Suddenly, screams of fear were heard around Xiao Lin, and the entire city began to descend into chaos.

From within the dark cloud, there were bursts of ghostly howling sounds, which were extremely miserable. Endless figures could be vaguely seen shuttling back and forth in the dark cloud, and from time to time, huge faces would emerge in the huge devil cloud.

Xiao Lin had also done some research on the method of refining the Demon Soul Banner, and even when he was in the mortal world, he had specifically comprehended it. However, after he ascended to the spiritual world, he had already given up all the magic cultivation techniques and did not continue to comprehend and refine it.

But he knew that these huge faces that emerged were actually the demon gods in the Demon Soul Banner. The countless spirits in the Demon Soul Banner were all based on the Demon God and became the Demon God's incarnations. Any spirit represented a chance for the Demon God to be reborn. Unless all the spirits in the Demon Soul Banner were killed, the Demon God's ability to be reborn could be cut off and he could be truly killed.

However, each of these Demon Soul Banners contains hundreds of millions of spirits, which is equivalent to the demon god having hundreds of millions more lives, which is equivalent to being immortal.

The power of the Demon Soul Banner also depends on the number of demon gods contained in it. As the realm of the person wielding the Demon Soul Banner becomes higher and his magical powers become greater, the demon gods he worships will also become more powerful. Moreover, the demon gods also need the essence and blood of the owner of the Demon Soul Banner to be fed, so that they can communicate with their master's mind and reach the level of being able to control him at will.

In the magic world, there are quite a few sects that sacrifice and refine the Demon Soul Banner, and most of them pass it down as the sect's treasure. The main reason is that the more souls the Demon Soul Banner devours, the higher the level of the souls, the more powerful the Demon Soul Banner becomes.

Moreover, the methods of refining the Demon Soul Banner are also varied and quite different, and they are all methods passed down from the True Demon Realm.

At this moment, Baifo City had already been suppressed by the dark evil spirit. Endless spirits were flying over the city, so dense that it made people's scalps numb.

Xiao Lin was also shocked. This posture was clearly a plan to massacre the city. Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had originally planned to leave quickly as he didn't want to become cannon fodder, but he was a step too slow after all. Now he could only take things one step at a time.

Above the void, as circles of demonic clouds transformed into huge whirlpools, a man in a black robe emerged from the whirlpool. His body and face were all wrapped in the black robe, so it was impossible to see the man's appearance and age.

But next to these black-robed men, there stood a demon soul flag that reached from sky to earth, surrounded by black air, with countless spirits wandering around, making bursts of roaring sounds.

Xiao Lin took a quick glance and saw that there were eight such men in black robes. He immediately understood that these eight people should be the eight elders of the Demon Soul Sect. Even if they are not, they should be the banner bearers selected by the Saint Ancestor Wu Lin.

As for the real owner, the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin, he has not appeared yet.

"Amitabha~~"

Just when everyone in Baifo City was at a loss, a loud Buddhist chant, like the sound of a huge bell, resounded in the void, and the rolling dark clouds immediately dispersed in all directions.

Xiao Lin also saw that in the north of Baifo City, thousands of miles away, a huge Buddha rose into the sky, about a hundred feet high. The golden light on his body seemed to be real, dispelling a large amount of evil spirit.

The Buddha had an expression of compassion on his face. He slowly raised his head, and his eyes shot out two golden beams of light that pierced through the endless demonic energy and shot into the demonic cloud, disappearing without a trace.

"Master Wulin, are you really going to go to war with my Buddhist sect?"
