There were actually still people from the Immortal Court alive in this world?

This was something Lin Jiufeng didn't expect. He stared fixedly at Ouyang Xiu, wanting to figure out what exactly was going on.

Ouyang Xiu replied, “From what I know, there are indeed seniors from the Immortal Court in the Western Desert. I don't know how many of them are there, but there definitely are.”

“Weren't the people of the Immortal Court wiped out by the God Race?” Lin Jiufeng asked solemnly.

“That war broke out very suddenly. For the Immortal Court, they were caught off guard. At that time, there was an army of the Immortal Court suppressing the Western Desert, so they didn't participate in this battle.”

“The army of the Western Desert has been suppressing the Western Desert all this time. They are not allowed to leave. Therefore, even though the Immortal Court suffered heavy losses in that battle and was completely wiped out, this team still remained.”

“In this era, I don't know how many of them are left. But I know that some of them are definitely still alive now.”

Ouyang Xiu felt uneasy under Lin Jiufeng's oppressive gaze and said honestly.

“I'm very curious as to why they want to suppress the Western Desert. Other than the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Western Desert is just a remote corner and doesn't compete with the outside world. Why did they leave an army behind to suppress the Western Desert?” Monk Anan asked in puzzlement.

He had known Ouyang Xiu for many years.

Ouyang Xiu was born in the Western Desert, but he was very rebellious when he was young. He couldn't understand the Buddhist scriptures and yearned for the outside world.

Hence, he bade farewell to his only friend and went to the Immortal Court. He worked hard to establish a stable foothold in the Immortal Court and became a commander.

The friend that he bade farewell to was Monk Anan.

Hence, Ouyang Xiu, who had just awakened and was reborn, directly came to the Western Desert to look for Monk Anan.

Moreover, the moment he asked for help, Monk Anan used the corner of the killing array that he had painstakingly obtained to kill Lin Jiufeng for him.

Their relationship was indeed quite deep.

Now that the lives of these two brothers were in Lin Jiufeng's hands, it was also a special kind of fate.

It wasn't easy for the two of them to still be alive in this world from 20,000 years ago to 20,000 years later and could still trust each other so much.

Regarding Monk Anan's question, Ouyang Xiu sighed and said, “I'm just a small team leader of the Immortal Court, a small character. How would I know so many secrets? In the great era, you and I are just duckweeds that drift with the waves. I just know that the Immortal Court still places a lot of importance on the Western Desert. It can even be said that the Immortal Court reveres the Western Desert.”

“Revere?” Lin Jiufeng immediately noticed this word.

“The Immortal Court isn't afraid of the God Race. The Immortal Court used to suppress the world. According to you, the Immortal Court is extremely powerful. Why would they revere the Western Desert then?” Lin Jiufeng immediately asked.

Monk Anan also looked at his old friend curiously.

“I've heard of a rumor, but it's not confirmed.”

“Some people say that beneath the Western Desert, the Lord of Hell is buried. Outside the Western Desert is the Buddhist Sect, but inside is Hell. The higher-ups of the Immortal Court have suffered a blow in the Western Desert.”

Ouyang Xiu said.

“There's actually a hell beneath the Western Desert? Why didn't I know about this?” Monk Anan shook his head. He didn't believe this rumor.

“I've lived in the Western Desert for more than 20,000 years and have never left. I've studied Buddhist scriptures and techniques, comprehending the Dao left behind by Great Emperor Shakyamuni. I've never seen a demon appear before,” Monk Anan said.

Lin Jiufeng pointed with his finger and questioned, “Don't you look like a demon now?”

Especially the Buddha beads in his hand. One side was Buddha and the other was a demon.

Monk Anan was instantly embarrassed.

He stammered, “I… I studied the Buddhist scriptures on my own, but I never obtained the true meaning of them. Gradually, a mental demon was born in me, turning my respect for Great Emperor Shakyamuni into resentment. I became an existence that was half Buddha and half-demon.”

“So you established the fake Great Thunderclap Temple and disguised yourself as Buddha to enjoy the incense offerings of the people?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

Monk Anan nodded and said helplessly, “I've never been able to comprehend the Dao of Great Emperor Shakyamuni. I felt extremely upset. In the end, I became demonized. I disguised the city you saw just now as the already disappeared Great Thunderclap Temple. Then, under the worship of the people of the world, I slowly walked back from the edge of becoming a demon. Now, I'm half Buddha and half-demon.”

“I already said that it's just rumors, it's normal for it to be inaccurate. But the wariness of the Immortal Court towards the Western Desert really exists. Even we weren't allowed to contact the troops guarding the Western Desert. They are independent of the outside world. At that time, very few people inside the Immortal Court knew what they were doing in the Western Desert,” Ouyang Xiu said.

“Then, do you know the exact location of this army?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“There's a general direction, but we need to search carefully,” Ouyang Xiu said.

“Then, let's go to the ruins of Great Thunderclap Temple first before looking for this army,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.

The army of the Immortal Court still existed in the Western Desert. But as long as Ouyang Xiu was by his side and didn't wake them up, there wouldn't be any danger for the time being.

He had to do things one by one.

The most important thing at the moment was to find the relic of the Great Thunderclap Temple and investigate it thoroughly.

Lin Jiufeng still had high hopes for the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Moreover, he felt that the waters of this world were becoming deeper and deeper.

In the past, he felt that he was already invincible just by reaching the Human God Realm.

But later on, he felt that he was invincible after becoming an immortal.

And now, he really felt very insignificant. Compared to those people who could leave their names in history, he was simply too fragile.

He thought that after suppressing the Myriad Races, the world would be peaceful.

But who would have thought that the Third World, the descendants of the God Race, and a sleeping War God would all appear?

Now, there was also the Great Thunderclap Temple, the army of the Immortal Court, and the Great Emperor Shakyamuni from 100,000 years ago.

These things were all very confusing and no one came to explain them to him.

Lin Jiufeng could only rely on himself to find the answers.

To Lin Jiufeng, the army of the Immortal Court wasn't as attractive as the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Hence, he was still determined to let Monk Anan lead the way to the Great Thunderclap Temple.

“How much longer before we reach the Great Thunderclap Temple?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

With their speeds, wouldn't it be easy for them to arrive at the destination very quickly?

No matter how big the Western Desert was, they could easily travel back and forth within a day.

Unless it was hidden like the Third World. Those who didn't know couldn't find the entrance at all.

Monk Anan replied, “It's not that far away. The relic of the Great Thunderclap Temple is in the 10,000 Mountain Caves of the Western Desert.”

“What kind of place is the 10,000 Mountain Caves?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“That's a place that has been carved with countless murals, carvings, and Buddha statues of the Buddhist sects since ancient times,” Monk Anan said with a trace of respect.

“Is this place very famous?” Ouyang Xiu asked.

“No. I'm the only one who knows about this place now. I set up an array formation and blocked the surroundings, preventing anyone from discovering this place. For 20,000 years, no one has discovered this place.” Monk Anan shook his head.

“This is also the reason why no one discovered that the Great Thunderclap Temple built by me is a fake one. Because they couldn't find where the real Great Thunderclap Temple was, so I naturally became real.” Monk Anan self-mocked.

“Every once in a while, I will go and live there for a period of time. I will look at the murals, the statues of Buddha, and the scriptures carved on the stone monoliths. I wanted to comprehend the Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Dao.”

“But it's a pity!”

“I gained nothing. The only thing that filled me with hope was that every time I went, it would make me calm down and think about my origins silently. I would check on myself to prevent myself from falling deeper into the Demon Path.”

“That's why I still have a lot of respect and admiration for Buddha. Buddha's wisdom is unfathomable, just that I'm unable to comprehend it.”

Monk Anan said sincerely.
