"So it's Master Du Nan who has arrived." Upon seeing the arrival of many abbots of Leiyin Temple and Abbot Du Nan, Zhuo Bufan stopped. Even if he was extremely rude, he couldn't possibly attack Lin Fei now that Abbot Du Nan had intervened.
Lin Fei had achieved his goal. The Celestial Masters present had a much better impression of him. He then withdrew his primordial spirit domain, cupped his hands to the Abbot, and said, "Greetings, Abbot Master."
The monk Du Nan smiled at everyone and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."
Almost all the renowned Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm have gathered at Leiyin Temple. Aside from the number one ranked expert on the Dragon Ranking, the Hidden Sword Elder, even the Demon Master Leng Feng, who is generally disliked by righteous Grandmasters, has appeared at Leiyin Temple.
The fact that the Hidden Sword Elder did not appear surprised Lin Fei. It seems that this number one expert in the world is indeed very different from others; even the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court could not lure him out of the Sword Pavilion.
……
Everyone took their seats, and then the monk Du Nan continued, "The heavens and earth are in turmoil, and the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court have reappeared. I'm sure you all already know that, right?"
The prominent words "South Heavenly Gate" could not be hidden from others. Anyone with even a slight knowledge of ancient history would know that the "South Heavenly Gate" was a very famous place in the ancient Heavenly Court, and also the only way to enter and exit the ancient Heavenly Court.
As soon as the monk who had saved the day finished speaking, someone below immediately responded, "Everyone has come here for this very reason. Abbot, please get straight to the point! What is the purpose of inviting everyone here?"
“Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer.” The monk Du Nan nodded and continued, “With the appearance of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, even grandmasters at the Celestial Realm level are probably already feeling the pressure. The reason I invited you all here is for the sake of all living beings.”
The Venerable Monk Du Nan sighed softly and said, "The appearance of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins will inevitably lead to fierce competition. Although for cultivators across the world, the reappearance of the ancient Heavenly Court has brought a surge in spiritual energy, making it a golden age of cultivation, it will also inevitably result in rivers of blood flowing over the treasures. Out of compassion for Buddha, this old monk cannot bear to see the world turned into a sea of blood due to the struggle for the treasures of the ancient Heavenly Court. Therefore, I have invited you all here to discuss this matter. I hope that in the pursuit of the treasures left behind by the ancient Heavenly Court, we can minimize the killing."
Not to mention those old fox-like Grandmasters at the Celestial Realm, even a junior like Lin Fei was extremely disdainful of the words of the Divine Monk who saved the day.
The world is a dog-eat-dog world, where the strong rule. Don't be fooled by the compassionate and merciful appearance of the monk Du Nan now. If the monks of Leiyin Temple had the chance to obtain treasures from the ancient Heavenly Court, they would probably not hesitate to eliminate their rivals.
The so-called unwillingness to see too much killing is nothing more than setting up a set of rules in order to divide up this piece of the ancient Heavenly Court's pie.
The people who set the rules for this game were none other than the many Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm present. Anyone who didn't follow the rules would be eliminated.
Ultimately, it all comes down to strength. If Lin Fei weren't qualified to sit here today, he would probably be eliminated from this game, just like those forces without a grandmaster to guide them, without even a share of the pie.
As soon as Abbot Du Nan finished speaking, someone below immediately said, "Abbot Du Nan, just tell us what rules you want to set. We are not Buddhists and do not understand Buddhism, so don't beat around the bush!"
The grandmasters below chuckled softly upon hearing this. These were all grandmasters at the Celestial Realm, and while they would give the Divine Monk Du Nan some face, they weren't entirely subservient to his word. They too had their own opinions.
The monk who had saved the day was interrupted, but he didn't mind. He slowly extended three fingers and said to the crowd, "In order to prevent everyone from killing each other and causing chaos in the world, I would like to make three agreements with you all here."
"First, apart from those from the various sects and factions present here, no one else in the world is allowed to enter the area of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins. Anyone who violates this rule will be attacked by all the grandmasters present!"
"Secondly, regardless of who obtains what treasure, the battle will be confined to the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court. If anyone takes a treasure out, no one is allowed to covet it or attempt to seize it. Anyone who violates this rule will be attacked by all the Grandmasters present!"
"Third, each faction may send a maximum of three individuals into the ancient Heavenly Court ruins at a time. If more than this number is exceeded, and this is discovered, all the Grandmasters present will unite to attack them!"
……
After finishing his speech, the monk looked intently at everyone below and asked in a deep voice, "Fellow practitioners, what do you think of what I have said?"
This so-called "divine monk" who delivers from suffering is not as compassionate as he claims to be. Each of these three points is followed by the same sentence: "The assembled masters jointly attacked him."
In other words, if anyone violates one of these rules, their fate will be death at the hands of the other grandmasters. This "joint attack" is not merely about defeating them. In a battle of this level, defeat could very well mean death.
After hearing the three requests from the monk Du Nan, everyone present fell silent for a moment, pondering the impact of these requests on their own interests.
Lin Fei was also pondering whether the three requests from the monk Du Nan were ultimately beneficial or detrimental to him.
The first requirement was that no one other than those present was allowed to enter the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court, which made no difference to anyone present.
The second condition is that if anyone takes any treasure out of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, no one else may attempt to steal it. This is advantageous for Lin Fei. After all, his cultivation is only at the Dharma Aspect Realm. Although he can contend with a Celestial Grandmaster, if a Grandmaster-level figure were to launch a sneak attack, Lin Fei would likely be in serious trouble. With this second condition, Lin Fei no longer needs to worry about being targeted by Grandmaster-level figures.
As for the third point, it's likely that the stronger the sect, the greater the benefits. After all, the stronger the sect, the more top experts it has, preventing a situation where the selected three individuals are too disparate in strength.
The three requests put forward by the monk who saved people from suffering can be said to have taken into account the interests of all parties. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they probably can't refute them.
As for those forces without a Celestial Master to oversee them, they were not even within the scope of the Divine Monk's consideration; reality is just that cruel.
