Chapter 1523: Chapter 1524: Journey to the Ancient Buddha Clan

Just like Jiumo Dao, killing people, eating meat, drinking alcohol, there’s nothing he hasn’t done. Such a person belongs to the Ancient Buddha Clan, but not to the Buddha Gate.

However, within the Ancient Buddha Clan, there is a small group of disciples who restrain themselves according to the true precepts of the Buddha Gate, hoping to enter the Buddha Gate early.

And Saintess Jiumo Xin is one of them!

That day, when the Heavenly Clan sent a wedding invitation, the Saintess sacrificed herself to save the Ancient Buddha Clan, something not everyone could achieve.

The Buddhist Sect Master led Ye Mo to the dormitory. In the dormitory, sandalwood incense burned slightly, emitting a faint scent, and nothing but silence was heard from the distant bell, making it a place for rest.

The Saintess brewed a pot of aromatic tea for them, pouring it for the two.

"Ye Mo, today I invited you to our Ancient Buddha Clan. Jiumo Xin might have already mentioned some things. I won’t waste words—three days from now is the day the Boundless Gate opens. Through the Boundless Gate, one can reach the Buddha Gate. The Ancient Buddha Clan of the Three Thousand Mortal Realms, with those who achieve Great Enlightenment, will all head to the Buddha Gate to compete for the Sharira!"

The Buddhist Sect Master got straight to the point, explaining the reason for inviting Ye Mo: "Although you are not a disciple of the Ancient Buddha Clan, you have cultivated many Buddhist Martial Arts and have mastered the Five Buddhas Hand Seal. You must have some connection to the Buddha Gate, so I intend for you to accompany my disciples to the Buddha Gate and compete for the Sharira. Perhaps that Sharira can help you defeat the Devil Holy Mother."

"Where is this Buddha Gate?"

Ye Mo immediately asked, knowing that if he could truly obtain the Sharira, his power would undoubtedly surge.

"The Buddha Gate is within the Buddha’s Heart!"

The Buddhist Sect Master clasped his hands together and said, "Only those who truly possess the Buddha’s Heart can enter the Buddha Gate. As for its actual location, it is said to be a subspace of the Western Buddhist Realm. Many disciples of the Ancient Buddha Clan, having cultivated Buddha Yuan, have the opportunity to enter the Buddha Gate, become disciples of the Buddha Gate, achieve the Boundless Buddha’s Body, and enter the Western Buddhist Realm."

What the Buddhist Sect Master referred to as the Buddha’s Heart is essentially passing through the Boundless Gate. Although the Boundless Gate is a portal, through it one can reach the Buddha Gate. However, the Boundless Gate requires the Buddha’s Heart, and it is not something everyone can easily pass through.

Even for Saintess Jiumo Xin, passing through the Boundless Gate is not easy.

Those unable to pass through the Boundless Gate stand no chance of entering the Buddha Gate. One could say that the Buddha Gate is the true Holy Land in the hearts of all disciples of the Ancient Buddha Clan, a place they all yearn for.

"I see, since the Buddhist Sect Master is kind enough to invite me, I will give it a try."

Ye Mo nodded, accepting gladly.

"Very well, the hostility on you is too heavy, the Boundless Gate might directly reject you. Spend these three days meditating at the Ancient Buddha Clan to clear this hostility from yourself."

The term hostility refers to having killed too many; the Buddha Gate abhors killing, especially slaughter. Those with too much hostility are immediately rejected without testing the Buddha’s Heart.

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"Jiumo Xin, take Ye Mo to the Scripture Pavilion!"

The Buddhist Sect Master instructed.

"Yes!"

The Saintess nodded and then said to Ye Mo, "Ye Mo, follow me to the Scripture Pavilion!"

"Okay!"

Following behind the Saintess, Ye Mo walked through the Ancient Buddha Clan, crossed courtyards, and small paths, arriving at a large pavilion. On the plaque of the pavilion’s first floor were the words ’Scripture Pavilion’, radiating a golden Buddhist light, filled with the aura of Buddhist Law.

The Saintess led Ye Mo into the Scripture Pavilion and said, "Entering the Scripture Pavilion, maintain silence. After you finish reading a scripture, return it to its place. I will come to find you in three days."

"Alright!"

Ye Mo replied and began to observe the Scripture Pavilion. He immediately sensed a presence fall upon him, a very powerful and subtle energy, difficult even for a strong Divine Venerable Nine Souls to detect.

However, Ye Mo did not pay it much mind, guessing the Scripture Pavilion must have its own overseers.

Ye Mo looked around; the pavilion was filled with rows of bookshelves, each bearing scriptures containing profound Buddhist Law and also the martial pursuits of the Ancient Buddha Clan.

But, although profound, these scriptures could not hold a candle to those of the Buddha Gate, considered lesser Buddhism.

Ye Mo began flipping through the scriptures, delving into each complex and difficult text. Though challenging, Ye Mo was patient.

He understood that his hostility was heavy, and if the Buddha’s teachings did not purify it, passing through the Boundless Gate would be exceedingly difficult. As for the Buddha General Heavenly Honored Thousand Rigor Blade’s transformation to Buddha, Ye Mo felt he had not yet reached that level.

"Hmm? There’s a biography of Buddha General Heavenly Honored here?"

As Ye Mo placed down a scripture, he turned and noticed a biography about Buddha General Heavenly Honored.

Ye Mo was quite curious about the Thousand Firmaments Blade of Buddha General Heavenly Honored.

Ye Mo opened the biography and it recorded the life and deeds of Buddha General Heavenly Honored, including some events in the immortal world. Most of it Ye Mo knew, but there were details he was unaware of, like the Ancient Buddha Clan being an extension of Buddha General Heavenly Honored’s power, and the Boundless Gate being opened by him.

"There are even seven supreme techniques of Buddha General Heavenly Honored here!"

Ye Mo’s eyes lit up. These seven supreme techniques corresponded to the seven levels of the Bodhi Tower in which Ye Mo had learned the Buddha Dharma Method.

Five Elements Immortal Futu Palm, World-Suppressing Pagoda, Buddha’s Light Tower Bell, Five Buddhas Hand Seal.

Ye Mo had already mastered the first four. As for the remaining three techniques, Ye Mo observed closely, scanning them with his eyes, Buddha’s Golden Body, Transforming Killing into Buddha.

"To think the fifth Buddhist Martial Art is Buddha’s Golden Body, a formidable martial art. It is said that performing it results in the impenetrable Diamond, unbreakable by any force, but what kind of martial art is the sixth, Transforming Killing into Buddha?"

Just from the name, it was impossible to ascertain what kind of martial art Transforming Killing into Buddha was.

Furthermore, the seventh Buddhist Martial Art was not recorded within it, after checking thoroughly, confirming the book had no missing pages.

"Young man, are you searching for the seventh supreme technique of the Thousand Firmaments Blade?"

At that moment, an old voice reached out, and an elderly figure holding a broom, dressed in monk robes, approached slowly. The elder’s face was withered, marked with age spots, looking quite fearsome, his body emaciated, akin to a mummy.

Ye Mo glanced at the elder, finding it intriguing that he couldn’t perceive through this old man, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Elder, how did you know I am looking for the seventh supreme technique of Buddha General Heavenly Honored?"

Filled with curiosity, Ye Mo asked.

"Rumor has it across the continent, that Ye Mo, the strongest, employs the fourth supreme technique of the Thousand Firmaments Blade, the Five Buddhas Hand Seal, to defeat the Devil Holy Mother whose prowess had not yet peaked. Now, seeing for myself, I didn’t expect such a powerful figure to be so young, akin to the grandeur of the Thousand Firmaments Blade of yesteryear."

The sweeping elder laughed, exuding an air of mystery, referring directly to Buddha General Heavenly Honored by name, something forbidden in the Ancient Buddha Clan, not even the Sect Master dared to do so.
