Li Xiaotian came to Fo Zhou specifically to seek the clear mind cultivation methods of Fo Zhou, to help his brothers who practiced the demonic soldier cultivation method stabilize their minds and delay the harm caused by the demonic soldier cultivation method.
The demonic soldier cultivation method was irreversible. Li Xiaotian's method was only to slow down the progress of those people turning into puppets. In his opinion, those brothers had cultivated the demonic soldier cultivation method for him and were now neither human nor ghost. Although they were alive, it was more unbearable than being dead.
Li Xiaotian looked at the demonic soldier legion standing outside like wood, with a look of deep unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
They had all become like this because of him. Although it was possible for them to return to normal after breaking through to the Heavenly level, the Heavenly level realm was difficult!
Moreover, whether they could truly recover was still a guess. Li Xiaotian's personality was such that he would not wait indefinitely for such uncontrollable guesses.
"Buddhism."
Li Xiaotian whispered, his eyes flashing. The Buddhist Clear Mind Mantra was his primary objective for coming to Fo Zhou, but the Clear Mind Mantra was a unique Buddhist spell that was not passed on externally, making it difficult for him to obtain.
Li Xiaotian shook his head. Buddhism was backed by truly powerful beings, as powerful as the Tongtian Sword Master. When he was in the Sea of Blood, top human powerhouses had descended to the edge of the Sea of Blood, and one of them was a Buddha.
If he were to seize the Clear Mind Mantra from Buddhism, he might provoke that being. He was still far from being an opponent of such an existence.
In addition, the four Buddhist sects under Buddhism all had similar clear mind spells. Although they were also not passed on externally, their current foundations were not as profound as Buddhism's, and he still had a chance to obtain them.
The Pure Land Buddhist Sect, the Great Freedom Buddhist Sect, the Ksitigarbha Buddhist Sect, and the Eastern Pharmacist Buddha Sect were the four overlord-level forces under Buddhism. Each of them had overlord-level experts stationed there, located in the four directions of Fo Zhou.
And the area where Li Xiaotian was currently located was in the east of Fo Zhou, belonging to the territory of the Pharmacist Buddha Sect.
Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind. He would go to the Pharmacist Buddha Sect first, and then to the other four sects.
Since the Clear Mind Mantra of Buddhism was difficult to obtain, he would collect the Clear Mind Mantra from the other four sects. Four Clear Mind Mantras would surely not be inferior to the Clear Mind Mantra of Buddhism!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The Thunderfire Buddhist Sect did not expose Li Xiaotian's whereabouts, so neither Fo Zhou nor Yan Zhou knew where Li Xiaotian was.
To the east of Fo Zhou, Liuli City, the sect city of the Pharmacist Buddha Sect, and also the most prosperous city in the east of Fo Zhou.
At this moment, chanting sounds echoed through Liuli City. Everywhere in the city, Buddhas sat cross-legged, explaining Buddhist scriptures to passing pedestrians.
And outside the city, countless believers who had traveled from afar, kowtowed with every step, devoutly making their way towards Liuli City.
From time to time, eminent Buddhas, enveloped in Buddhist light, flew from outside the city, scattering Buddhist light and causing countless people in the city to prostrate themselves.
Almarmon descended from the sky with the eminent Buddhas of his sect, looking at the prosperity of Liuli City with envy. He showed compassion and extended his hand to bestow blessings upon the believers kneeling beside him.
"The Ten Thousand Buddhas Assembly. I never expected that after ten thousand years, my Fo Zhou would still be as prosperous as in ancient times."
Almarmon whispered, his tone full of pride and emotion.
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Assembly was held every hundred years in Fo Zhou, with the four Buddhist sects taking turns to host it, while Buddhism held it every five hundred years.
At each Ten Thousand Buddhas Assembly, each Buddhist sect needed to send people to participate, discuss Buddhist teachings with various sects, and top eminent Buddhas would also appear at the assembly to explain Buddhist scriptures to the world.
The current Ten Thousand Buddhas Assembly happened to be hosted by the Pharmacist Buddha Sect, continuing the ancient order. The Thunderfire Buddhist Sect was one of the Buddhist sects under the jurisdiction of the Pharmacist Buddha Sect, so Almarmon had brought almost all the Emperor-level experts of his sect this time.
At their level, discussing Buddhist teachings with other Buddhist sects was secondary. What they valued more was the explanation of Buddhist teachings by top eminent Buddhas at the assembly.
Basically, the appearance of top eminent Buddhas to explain Buddhist teachings would bring them considerable gains, and might even lead to breakthroughs on the spot.
"Elder, at this assembly, one of us must comprehend the artistic conception of an eminent Buddha and sense the path to breakthrough to overlord."
Almarmon whispered to the Grand Elder. Since seeing Li Xiaotian last time, Almarmon's desire for strength had been extremely intense. If their Buddhist sect had an overlord-level expert at that time, they would not have been so humiliated when they encountered Li Xiaotian.
"Sect Leader, rest assured, this old monk will do his best!"
The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, their thoughts were the same.
"The Heavenly level eminent Buddha has not yet awakened. The eminent Buddha who appears this time should be the one from the Pharmacist Buddha Sect. That one was already an overlord-level expert in ancient times. His explanation of Buddhist teachings will surely benefit you and me."
Almarmon said. The Pharmacist Buddha Sect had an overlord-level eminent Buddha. That eminent Buddha had been famous for a long time, and among overlord-level experts, he was also a top existence. His teachings would probably not be inferior to a Heavenly level eminent Buddha.
"Indeed, this assembly is extraordinary. It has been an ancient era since the last assembly. This time, it is likely that the Sect Leaders of various sects in Fo Zhou will come, and I even heard that experts from the other three Buddhist sects have also descended. The Buddhist Son of Buddhism will also appear to expound Buddhist teachings, so you and I will surely benefit greatly this time."
The Grand Elder said, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I hope so!"
Almarmon clasped his hands together, his face full of compassion.
At the same time, at the city gate, Li Xiaotian and his group also entered the city. Liuli City was, after all, a major city in the east of Fo Zhou. Not only were there people from Fo Zhou, but also many people from other countries, so their group did not attract much attention.
"The Ten Thousand Buddhas Assembly. What a coincidence."
Li Xiaotian smiled. Previously, he had planned to infiltrate the Pharmacist Buddha Sect, seize the Clear Mind Mantra, and then leave quietly. But now, it seemed difficult.
Experts from all over Fo Zhou were gathered here. It was probably impossible for him to obtain the spell quietly.
Just based on what he sensed, there were already two auras in Liuli City that were not weaker than his own, and there were nearly a hundred auras at the peak of the Emperor level.
And this was still before the assembly began. Once the assembly started, there would likely be even more experts present.
"Ma Hao, you are familiar with this place. Find a quiet place for everyone to stay first."
Li Xiaotian said to Ma Hao behind him. He did not bring many people into the city this time, only his wife and daughter, Long Shiwu, An Mei, and Ma Hao.
Ma Hao had lived in Fo Zhou for more than ten years, so he was relatively familiar with the place, and bringing him along saved a lot of trouble.
"Yes! Boss!"
Ma Hao replied. At this moment, he was completely different from his self three days ago, appearing more refined and composed.
"Brother, how about we try the other three sects?"
Long Shiwu next to him said, frowning slightly. He knew Li Xiaotian's purpose for coming and felt pressure after seeing the scene in the city.
"It's fine, we're already here."
Li Xiaotian shook his head. He had already arrived at the doorstep of the Pharmacist Buddha Sect. Giving up because of a small difficulty was not something he could do, and he did not want to waste any more time.
