Chapter 2670

Zhu Yanyi stopped speaking, but Yan Aohan already understood. "Once the living beings here die, countless resentful energies will be produced."

Yan Aohan closed his eyes slightly, then continued. "Whether it is resentment or hostility, these are the energy sources the Evil Buddha needs. Even if the resentful energy of the entire plane cannot help him break through to the Saint realm, it is not far off."

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor also realized the truth. "Most importantly, once the plane collapses, the Heavenly Dao here will also disappear. Then, the Evil Buddha will be the one who truly holds the power."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She looked at the Immortal Emperor and Yan Aohan. "That is correct. I believe this is the Evil Buddha's true purpose. She wants this plane to collapse."

The Evil Buddha’s current abilities were not enough to destroy this plane. To destroy a plane, one needed divine-level power. Even Zhu Yanyi, although she could eliminate all the zombies here, could not destroy the plane itself.

Although the Evil Buddha was called a Buddha, he did not yet possess the true power of a Buddha. Therefore, it was impossible for him to destroy a plane on his own. He needed to rely on external factors, which is why he arranged such a large scheme.

"If this situation was indeed arranged by the Evil Buddha, his calculations are truly deep," the Immortal Emperor said thoughtfully.

A being who was not a true Buddha yet managed to involve the entire plane in his scheme. Most importantly, he even calculated the Heavenly Dao into his plan. Just this level of wisdom was truly impressive.

"He is indeed a wise person." Even though the Immortal Emperor knew the Evil Buddha was an enemy, he still admired what the Evil Buddha had done.

Zhu Yanyi nodded in agreement. She also admired the Evil Buddha’s actions, but her path was not the right one.

"Wise people are indeed extraordinary. Now that I think about it, everything in the mortal world back then seemed to be consciously given to us by her," Yan Aohan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi replied, "Probably." She nodded. "But I do not understand what she is pursuing."

This was the most important question. Zhu Yanyi did not believe the Evil Buddha truly wanted to become a Buddha. If she only wanted to become a Buddha, she would never have become an Evil Buddha. Since she chose to be an Evil Buddha, she must have had pursuits that others could not understand.

Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. She could not figure it out, but she knew she needed to keep trying to understand this matter.

Yan Aohan said to Zhu Yanyi, "You probably have to ask the Evil Buddha herself about this."

"What a useless answer," Zhu Yanyi said, glaring at Yan Aohan. "I know I probably have to ask her, but the problem is, she is not here."

Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Do not worry so much. Actually, it is not difficult to force her to come out."

"Hmm?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan curiously. "How? Tell me quickly."

Yan Aohan spoke slowly. "It is actually very simple. As long as you purify this world, he will surely come out."

"She might hide deeper and wait for us to leave," Zhu Yanyi said directly.

"In that case, we are betting on luck," Yan Aohan smiled. "I remember you planted a 'nail' here. Do you want to wake up this nail?"

Zhu Yanyi knew Yan Aohan was referring to the monk named Xingzhi.

Zhu Yanyi hesitated slightly. "Let me think. If there is no other way, I can only wake up Xingzhi. Originally, I hoped Xingzhi could pass more information to me."

"If you do not contact Xingzhi, he naturally cannot pass more information to you," Yan Aohan said.

When they arrived in the Evil Buddha’s realm, they did not notify Xingzhi immediately. For a spy like this, it was better to be careful. They did not know much about the Evil Buddha’s realm, and they needed help to catch the Evil Buddha. Therefore, activating Xingzhi was necessary.

However, once the spy was activated, there was a high chance of being discovered. This was the Evil Buddha’s realm. The Evil Buddha was the local boss and knew the situation best. If discovered, not only would the spy be exposed, but the Evil Buddha might also become alert. Therefore, this spy should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Sigh," Zhu Yanyi sighed deeply. "Why is this Evil Buddha’s realm like this?"

"If the Evil Buddha’s realm was peaceful, it would not be called the Evil Buddha’s realm," Yan Aohan saw through Zhu Yanyi’s thoughts.

Zhu Yanyi said, "I naturally know this. But what does the Evil Buddha want so much that she must destroy this world?"

"If you cannot figure it out, do not think about it. The answer will be revealed eventually," Yan Aohan said.

Zhu Yanyi hummed. Even if she was curious, it was useless because she did not know the answer. She still had to wait.

The Immortal Emperor said, "I plan to go look around first."

"You go ahead. But do you want to check the Heavenly Dao here first? Since these things are happening, the Heavenly Dao has not appeared. It must be trapped," Yan Aohan said.

How could the Evil Buddha’s actions be hidden from the Heavenly Dao? Since the Heavenly Dao had not destroyed the Evil Buddha or the zombies, there could only be two reasons. One was that the people and other living creatures in this world needed to be cleansed, indicating that the world was originally not good, and the Heavenly Dao was angry. The other reason was that the Heavenly Dao was trapped. Of course, this trap could not be permanent. But as long as the Heavenly Dao was trapped, the Evil Buddha would have time to lay his plans.

After hearing this, the Immortal Emperor’s eyes flashed slightly. "It seems I need to go check the Heavenly Dao first." With that, he disappeared from his seat. This matter could not wait, especially since it involved the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor’s urgency was understandable.

Zhu Yanyi rubbed her temples. "It really is a troublesome time."

Yan Aohan saw this and came over to help her rub her temples. "Are you annoyed?"

"Not really. I just do not understand why someone likes to cause trouble so much," Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. "What is she thinking? I always thought she had at least some bottom line."

But if her guess was correct, and the Heavenly Dao was really trapped, Zhu Yanyi felt she might have guessed wrong. The Evil Buddha might not have any bottom line at all. Her previous kindness might have been fake.

Yan Aohan smiled. "Let’s see what news the Immortal Emperor brings back. If it is really as we guessed today, then you just need to purify this world. He will definitely not allow anyone to ruin his plans."
