Chapter 354 - 290 Buddhist Arhat_2
```
Zhou Yi repeatedly expressed his support, but he couldn’t help scoffing in his heart—truly worthy of being the Xuanmen Orthodoxy.
While clearly plotting for the Art of Incense Flame Deification, they also think of cutting off others from divine enthronement, yet they conveniently link it with the safety and stability of Dongsheng Divine Continent.
Indeed, to carry out great tasks, one must carry great justice!
"You need not worry, this matter will soon be no secret, and in the future, our Senior and Junior Sect Masters who ascend to divinity must also govern the people under divine administration."
Pei Yuanzhou looked around at the Golden Cores in the hall and said, "Moreover, the Incense Flame Deification Technique can break through to Return Void, and it will surely also be useful for breaking through Nascent Soul Formation and Divinity Transformation, thus avoiding many of the risks of cultivation!"
"We thank the Senior/Junior Sect Master for the guidance."
The many in the hall bowed deeply, not doubting for a moment that the Bu Tian Sect could achieve this.
In Dongsheng Divine Continent, among the four main sects, the Bu Tian Sect is held in the highest regard, far surpassing the other three in both overall strength and number of disciples.
Zhou Yi said, "Brother, by saying this, do you mean someone is going to reveal the secret of the Great Eternal Ancestor?"
Pei Yuanzhou responded, "Next year on Buddha’s Birthday, Yin Guang Luohan will go to Da Heng Capital. Ostensibly to spread the Buddhist Law, but in reality to elaborate on the Art of Incense Flame Deification Technique."
Zhou Yi immediately understood, "Our sect is joining hands with Buddhism?"
"Exactly," Pei Yuanzhou replied.
He continued, "Incense Flame Deification is crucial for the safety and stability of Dongsheng Divine Continent, and we must be fully assured of success. Hence, the ancestors in our sect have joined hands with Buddhism to collectively suppress the aquatic and terrestrial Wild Gods!"
Zhou Yi’s eyes flickered with understanding, realizing that the term "Wild Gods" had probably expanded its scope at this point.
Wild Gods.
Generally, it refers to deities not officially enshrined by the Imperial Court, and with the Bu Tian Sect teaming up with Buddhism to carry out the Incense Flame Deification, likely all gods who do not cooperate will be categorized as Wild Gods!
In Dongsheng Divine Continent, there are many extremely powerful Wild Gods, such as the ancestor of Ao Xuan, the Shangshui True Dragon, who crowned himself the god of Shangshui, or ancient divine beasts like the Qilin and the Phoenix.
The Bu Tian Sect could not suppress them alone, thus they joined hands with Buddhism!
Perhaps they will also woo various nations, some sects, as well as Loose Cultivator divinities, to sweep across Dongsheng Divine Continent in an overwhelming force.
At that moment.
Someone spoke out, "Then, won’t the value of Wish Power Beads skyrocket in the future?"
Zhou Yi looked towards the voice and saw it was an acquaintance, Xu Zhixian, now serving as the god of Wu Mountain.
"Not just skyrocket, the price might even increase several fold."
Pei Yuanzhou said, "This is also the message from the Sect Leader. From today onwards, members of our sect may use all means to exchange for Wish Power Beads, and it won’t be long before we make a fortune."
"Perhaps we won’t even need to wait for Incense Flame Deification; with the Spirit Stones we earn this time around, we could directly purchase breakthrough Spiritual Objects!"
"We shall abide by the Sect Leader’s decree!"
The cultivators in the hall bowed deeply, accepting the command, each of their faces beaming with joy.
As Zhou Yi’s Divine Sense swept over it, he saw more than two hundred Wish Power Beads in the jade box and hastened to bow and say,
"Thank you, senior brother. These Wish Power Beads are more than enough incentive for the Golden Core cultivators to strive for, and for me to get them without doing anything in return, I’m more than grateful!"
A City God holds high authority and power.
Under Gu Xiao’s rule, the Yongning Prefecture had tens of millions of people and given his long tenure, the incense power and Wish Power Beads he received far exceeded those of Qingyun Mountain. Read new adventures at empire
After all, it was a prefecture under the rule of the Great Yong Dynasty; the taxes paid could not be taken lightly. Moreover, there would be more people sharing the Wish Power Beads, so receiving two hundred beads was quite considerable for Zhou Yi.
"It seems the benefits of Yongning Prefecture could have been excluded from me, likely because I kept my promise and didn’t cause any trouble at Qingyun Mountain that I’m able to share the profit," Zhou Yi mused, tucking away the Wish Power Beads. Over the next ten years, he expected the quantity to increase even more.
If he considered the price of the Wish Power Beads possibly skyrocketing in the near future, even Nascent Soul ancestors might be envious.
It’s good to take shelter under a big tree!
Back in the days, Zhou Yi bustled about Wu Mountain and only got some fifty or sixty beads in ten years, but now he simply had to concentrate on his cultivation and the Wish Power Beads would come to him.
"No wonder everyone is eager to collect taxes!"
On the surface, Zhou Yi appeared all smiles, but internally he kept reminding himself not to acknowledge the Imperial Court over minor benefits and to flee when facing life-threatening dangers like magical confrontations.
Take the benefits, but do no work!
"Senior brother Pei, do you know the origins of the Incense Flame Condensing Spirit technique?"
The spread of the Incense Flame Deification Technique caused turmoil in the Dongsheng Divine Continent, increasingly reminiscent of the destruction of the Nine Continents, making Zhou Yi curious about the origins of this technique that was so different from the Immortal Realm’s practices—it couldn’t have been created out of thin air.
"I don’t know the details,"
Pei Yuanzhou replied, "The Dongsheng Divine Continent originally didn’t have this secret technique. It first originated from the Great Yong Dynasty, said to have come from something extraterrestrial, with the Incense Flame Condensing Spirit technique recorded on it."
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, as he had quite an impression of the Great Yong Dynasty. Before he came to Dongsheng Divine Continent, he had encountered an island with records of the Great Yong Dynasty and pointed to the sky curiously, asking,
"Is that extraterrestrial referring to the Immortal Realm?"
Even the remains of immortals that fell from the Immortal Realm could lead to the destruction of an entire continent.
"That I’m not sure of,"
Pei Yuanzhou, seeing Zhou Yi’s puzzled expression, smiled and said, "Even though our sect is connected to the Immortal Realm, we can only listen to the Ancestor’s divine decree. Besides, it’s been a long time since the last celestial message, which was ten thousand years ago."
Zhou Yi, also yearning for the Immortal Realm, inquired, "How can I review the records about the Immortal Realm within the sect?"
"Advance to a Divinity Transformation elder, and all scriptures will be available for perusal,"
Pei Yuanzhou advised, "The Immortal Realm is far too distant for us. Junior brother, don’t set your sights too high; it’s better to remain grounded."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior brother."
Zhou Yi silently noted down the Scripture Pavilion of the Imperial Court. No matter what, he had to include it in his Wanjuan Daozang collection in the future.
"There’s another matter, junior brother, for which I’ll need the help of several senior brothers. Does the sect have any methods to increase the intelligence of Artifact Spirits without harming their sentience, to help them form a complete Artifact Spirit, or better still, to manifest their soul?"
