Peerless Taoist

Ancestor Xuanling sighed and said, "I have been arranging strongholds in the outer realm all these years, all for the sake of finding a place to survive before the end of the world."    

Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder Ancestor Xuanling had spent a large amount of resources to establish many strongholds in the outer realm.    

For many sects, the strongholds in the outer realm were just scouts. There were only a few of them, so they wouldn't invest too much into them.    

However, Ancestor Xuanling had rejected everyone's objections and established more than a hundred strongholds in the outer realm. They were like a group of stars surrounding the Spiritual Mountain Continent.    

At first, the elders didn't understand.    

But now, everyone understood the meaning behind Ancestor Xuanling's actions.    

"If that really happens, do we have to give up the Spiritual Mountain Continent?" Wei Jie looked at the rain outside the hall and muttered to himself, "This land has been inhabited by our ancestors for generations. Could it be that the Ancestor God will abandon us?"    

"If the Ancestor God appears, everything will be easy to deal with. However, the Ancestor God's power is already weakening. I'm afraid that it won't be able to last for many more times." Ancestor Xuanling shook his head and sighed.    

"Ancestor! Ancestor!"    

The door of the hall was knocked open. An elder ran in staggering, his entire body covered in blood.    

As soon as he rushed in, he fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura was already extremely weak.    

"Ancestor, the outer defense line has already been breached. The demons that have come this time are too ferocious. We are no match for them at all." The elder's voice was trembling.    

His entire body was drenched in blood, and rainwater was dripping down from his wet clothes.    

When Ancestor Xuanling heard this, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and a serious expression flashed across his face.    

In the next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared from the main hall of the sect.    

In the four directions of the Spiritual Mountain Continent, demonic shadows were already gathering, and the demons were dancing in chaos.    

The nine great immortal sects thought that they would be able to get a chance to catch their breath after surviving the attack of the demons. However, they never expected that the demons would not give them a chance at all. They launched another attack.    

Some sects had already suffered a painful attack the last time. The experts of the entire sect were in a state of disrepair, and they were unable to defend against the attack of the demons that were like a tide.    

Death was still continuing.    

At this point, it was not just the nine great immortal sects, but many small sects were also participating in the defense battle.    

Behind them was the Spiritual Mountain Continent. They could not retreat anymore and could only fight.    

The old monk and Lu Yu appeared in the sky above the dark clouds.    

There was a mysterious power supporting the two of them.    

Although the surrounding area was filled with torrential rain and lightning, not a single lightning bolt struck the two of them, and not a single drop of rain fell on their shoulders.    

As time passed, Lu Yu and the old monk secretly took action. Those devils did not break through the defense of the Spirit Mountain Continent and were firmly stopped outside.    

"It's a good thing that it did not descend. It was too cautious, so it first sent these devils as the vanguard. This is its advantage, but it is destined to lose to its own cautiousness." The old monk heaved a sigh of relief.    

It was already the time of the Zi Period.    

A weak golden light appeared on the surface of the bronze lamp in Lu Yu's hand once again.    

The old monk saw hope. He took a deep breath and a smile that he had never seen before bloomed on his face.    

"Good! Very good! With your perception, you can definitely comprehend the true teachings of Buddha in one go!"    

The old monk's face was difficult to conceal the serious exhaustion on it, but his eyes were shining with excitement.    

"With me protecting you, no one will disturb you this time." The old monk's voice was trembling.    

He was like a believer who had abandoned his faith and was looking at the hope of his faith once again.    

Lu Yu gently caressed the bronze lamp, but he did not make any further movements.    

In the past few days, he had already skillfully poured the power of the soul into it and lit the bronze lamp, allowing himself to be under the inheritance of the Buddha.    

But now, Lu Yu chose to stop.    

"Can you tell me what Buddha said when he bestowed you with the bronze lamp? What did he do?" Lu Yu asked.    

The old monk was puzzled. He said anxiously, "Why are you asking this? Time is pressing. If you are not Buddha, it will be very difficult for you to resist the creature in the darkness."    

"I have to know what Buddha said at that time." Lu Yu did not hide his strength anymore and said, "Actually, whether or not I can become Buddha does not affect me much."    

A tyrannical pressure suddenly appeared around Lu Yu's body. It was the pressure of a God King.    

All the Gods bowed to him.    

The old monk's heart trembled. When he saw Lu Yu, it was as if he had seen the Buddha from the past.    

"That day, although Buddha was wrapped in flames, he was still kind and smiling at me. He passed the Buddhist inheritance to me..." The old monk seemed to have fallen into endless reminiscence.    

"No!"    

Lu Yu interrupted the old monk's recollection.    

"The Great Thunderchant Temple was covered in flames. Countless experts of the Buddhist Sect lost their Buddhist nature and became evil. If you were Buddha, would you still have the mind to pass the inheritance to a stranger?" Lu Yu shouted.    

The old monk's lips trembled. "Maybe Buddha wanted to leave the inheritance behind. The inheritance of the Buddhist Sect cannot be cut off here..."    

"If Buddha is really selfless, why did he need you to go thousands of miles away to ask for the true scripture?" Lu Yu shook his head and sighed. "You might have been deceived."    

"Impossible, impossible..." The old monk muttered to himself. His eyes were filled with despair and fear.    

"Everything you did was to lure me here. When I was outside the Great Thunderchant Temple, I only injected a trace of divine power, but you actually passed the secret scripture of the Hua Yan Sect, one of the eight great sects of the Buddhist Sect, to me. You wanted to arouse my desire and make me accept the Buddhist inheritance," Lu Yu said indifferently.    

From the first time he had received the Buddhist Scripture in the Great Leiyin Temple, Lu Yu had noticed something.    

In this world, there was never a pie falling from the sky. Lu Yu knew that he had no achievements in the Buddhist Sect, but such a benefit fell on him, causing Lu Yu to be on guard.    

When he truly received the Buddhist Sect's inheritance, Lu Yu became even more cautious, because it was much easier than he had imagined.    

In the world of the Mysterious Heaven Scripture, Lu Yu had a narrow escape from the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance.    

In the world of the Human Emperor's inheritance, Lu Yu and the Great Qin Legion fought with all their might in the Demonic Land.    

However, when he arrived here, he only saw an old monk who seemed to have been waiting for Lu Yu to come and hand over the Buddhist Sect's inheritance.    

The Buddhist Sect experts in the Buddhist illusion were all kind and benevolent, as if they had found the real successor and passed on the inheritance to Lu Yu without reservation.    

The meticulous inheritance was not like an opportunity, but more like a trap.
