Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214

"It’s not your place to interfere."

The witch emphasized: "You just need to tell me, are you going or not."

"It’s actually a coincidence."

Chen Sansi admitted: "I planned to make a trip to the Western Continent anyway; since I can’t stop you, why not accompany you?"

"That’s the right choice."

The witch was very satisfied with the response: "What are you waiting for? Let’s set off now."

Chen Sansi sent a voice transmission to the neighboring tent.

Moments later, Dongfang Jingxing responded and came over: "What are Your Majesty’s orders?"

"I am planning to go out for a while."

Chen Sansi said: "The timeframe is uncertain, possibly months or even years, and the news must be kept absolutely confidential.

"I will leave a puppet pretending that I’ve gone into seclusion myself.

"During this period, the army must remain steadfast and refrain from leaving.

"If unexpected situations arise, consult Yu Ling, Wang Zhi, and my brothers, with the final decision resting with Qi Cheng."

"I obey your command."

Dongfang Jingxing did not ask a single extra question, only meticulously remembered the imperial decree.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, as once someone notices, we will surely encounter tracking troubles.

Thus, after Chen Sansi made a brief arrangement for the military affairs, he and the witch silently left the Tianshui Border under the cover of night, heading south and west straight to their destination.

Speaking of Buddha, several thousand years ago, it was once flourishing in Heavenly Water.

According to the records, at the most exaggerated time, almost every village and town had a temple, offering a tribute to a Buddha deity.

Until later, the Demon, Righteous, and Demon Cultivation paths suddenly joined forces, launching an anti-Buddha campaign, directly devastating the Buddhist forces in the world.

The remaining Buddhist sects all retreated to the Western Continent, and from then on, dared not easily venture out again.

The Western Continent is adjacent to the Thundering Cold Continent, with a territory much smaller compared to the Sky Water Continent, but also has Great Power Cultivators.

When Chen Sansi and the witch arrived at their destination, it was more than sixty days later.

The closer they got to the Western Continent, the clearer they sensed one thing.

Spiritual Energy is scarce!

The number of Spirit Veins in the Western Continent is far fewer than that in other continents.

Even if cultivation can rely on incense, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or spiritual beast breeding, they also require Spiritual Energy.

This shows that Buddha’s recent life over thousands of years has indeed been quite tough.

"True Monarch Temple."

Chen Sansi and the witch stopped at a village entrance.

This place is called "Slant Moon Path," considered a remote border of the Western Continent.

In front of them stands a temple, seemingly recently built, but the decoration is quite simple, transformed from a dilapidated tile house.

It’s not a Buddhist temple.

Out of curiosity, Chen Sansi stepped over the threshold, peered inside, and saw a clay divine statue standing behind the simple offering platform.

On the plaque in front, several large characters are engraved: "True Monarch of Ten Thousand Spirits Candle Light."

Looking again at the statue’s face, his lips slightly curled into a smile, he couldn’t help but chuckle lightly: "This kid."

A villager who had just arrived for offering heard this and shouted angrily: "Where are you from, daring to disrespect the True Monarch!"

Chen Sansi asked: "Is this the title you’ve given to this kid?"

"If you continue to disrespect the True Monarch, I will be impolite!"

The villager waved his fist.

"The True Monarch you speak of, is he very young?"

Chen Sansi inquired: "Why would you be willing to start a sect and build a temple for him?"

"It seems you truly haven’t heard of the True Monarch’s reputation."

The rough man said: "Fine, let me explain it to you thoroughly, so as not to offend again!"

It turns out that around two years ago.

A cultivator wielding a Hook Scythe Spear appeared around Slant Moon Path; upon arrival, he first killed corrupt officials, then eradicated all the demon cultivators and demon practitioners causing trouble in the mountains, gaining instant fame.

In many places, numerous locals voluntarily founded sects and built temples for him, calling him "True Monarch of Ten Thousand Spirits Candle Light." Read complete versıon only at N0velFire.ɴet

And this True Monarch, was naturally Chen Sansi’s eldest son, Prince Yu of the Great Han, Chen Duhe.

Before the righteous and demon war began, Chen Duhe had already ventured alone into Chaotic Wilderness Yongzhou, collecting incense through various methods for years to cultivate Martial Arts.

The father and son had been out of contact for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he had wandered to the Western Continent.

Seeing his elder son safe, Chen Sansi felt a sense of relief.

"We’ve worshipped the Bodhisattva for so many years, what good did it do? A True Monarch , often showing spiritual presence to eliminate harm for the people, is the true Bodhisattva!"

The man said, arriving in front of the offering table; he hadn’t brought any offerings, nor did he bow, only lit three sticks of Sandalwood, inserted them into the incense burner, and sincerely put his hands together, slightly bowed.

Just because, below the "True Monarch of Ten Thousand Spirits Candle Light" plaque, there was a line of small text.

"I eat incense stipend, you get protection, no debts between us, why kneel?"

This child’s temperament hasn’t changed at all...

The principles for the country and the people have been taught countless times, yet Chen Duhe has always pretended to understand on the surface, inwardly still indifferent to those who have no relation to him.

But regardless of the purpose, this kid objectively is doing good things.

After figuring out what kind of temple this is, Chen Sansi prepared to turn and leave.

At that moment, they suddenly heard a large group of footsteps outside, the sound approaching rapidly to the outside of the True Monarch Temple.

Chen Sansi lifted his head and saw a group of monks wearing robes and wielding sticks rushing in.
