Chapter 2673

As the Heavenly Medical Envoy, Zhu Yanyi’s lotus purification ability had deepened. Even with this enhancement, the process took a full day and night.

Zhu Yanyi only woke up after the lotus returned.

Yan Aohan saw her open her eyes and asked softly, “How are you? Do you feel any discomfort?”

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. “No. The air in this plane is now fully purified. Humans can survive here without issues.”

She turned to look at the Heavenly Dao. “I don’t know why you acted so quickly, but you didn’t consider the consequences. Those exploding zombies released zombie poison.”

The Heavenly Dao had noticed this too. Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, she said directly, “Thank you for your help.”

Although she could have solved it herself, Zhu Yanyi’s method was the best. Purifying the entire air benefited her as well.

She had to admit that her decisive action, taken without full investigation, was influenced by the resentment of this plane. As a being of the plane, any environmental change affected her.

Zhu Yanyi did not press the issue further. It didn’t matter much to her, especially since she had already acted. She mentioned it mainly because her lotus might have revealed her existence to the Evil Buddha.

“It seems the Evil Buddha knows I exist,” Zhu Yanyi said after thinking for a moment.

Yan Aohan smiled. “It was bound to happen. Isn’t it good now? With the Heavenly Dao restored, it will be hard for the Evil Buddha to control this plane.”

Zhu Yanyi said, “I know. I’m just worried she might make a desperate move.”

“Don’t worry. It will pass,” Yan Aohan said seriously.

The Heavenly Dao was saved, and the zombies were extinct. These were good news for the people of the lower planes. For Zhu Yanyi and her group, however, it was just routine. They were more concerned about the Evil Buddha’s imminent appearance.

Zhu Yanyi looked around and walked near the formation that had trapped the Heavenly Dao. “This Evil Buddha is patient. This formation alone used at least five thousand Devouring Spirit Stones. They are hard to find.”

“They aren’t necessarily hard to find. Some secret realms have plenty,” Black Emperor interjected with a smile.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, acknowledging this, then added, “It seems this Evil Buddha has visited many secret realms.”

Black Emperor smiled. “Next, you will face the Evil Buddha directly. Do you have any plans?”

“What plans could I have?” Zhu Yanyi glanced at Black Emperor. “I understand what you mean. Rest assured, in my heart, the Evil Buddha and my Grandpa Wisdom are different people. No matter how similar they look, my Grandpa Wisdom is dead. At least in my heart, she is. So, do not lump two different people together.”

Black Emperor hummed in agreement, then looked at the Heavenly Dao. “You should understand this too.”

The Heavenly Dao smiled bitterly. “I realized it long ago.”

It turned out Black Emperor had discovered the anomaly here years ago and warned the local Heavenly Dao. But the Heavenly Dao was arrogant. As a god, he believed he could easily control this plane. Reality slapped him, teaching him that things are not always as one thinks.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Heavenly Dao. “Mr. Heavenly Dao, may I ask where the Evil Buddha is hiding now?”

The Heavenly Dao pointed in a direction. “Go that way. You will see a mountain shaped like an inverted Buddha statue. In the valley there, there is a large mansion. He is there.”

“Inverted Buddha statue?” Zhu Yanyi repeated softly.

The Heavenly Dao nodded slightly. “Yes. The mountain is called Daofu Mountain. But this ‘Dao’ is not that ‘Dao’. It is just a homophone. The name comes from the mountain looking like an inverted Buddha statue. It could also be called Inverted Buddha Mountain.”

Zhu Yanyi let out a snort of laughter. “What is this Evil Buddha thinking? She calls herself Evil Buddha and lives on Daofu Mountain. Does she think she can really overturn the Buddhist Realm?”

“There have been attempts to overturn the Buddhist Realm before. It is said that tens of millions of years ago, such a thing happened. Back then, a disciple of the Buddha who fell into a love tribulation opposed the Buddha. He called himself Buddha Wutian. At that time, the Buddha needed to undergo thirty-three years of reincarnation trials. Wutian Buddha occupied the Buddhist Realm for thirty-three years. But when the real Buddha returned, Wutian Buddha was destroyed.”

“You said it yourself. The real one returned, and the fake one was destroyed. So what ability or confidence does this Evil Buddha have to believe she can kill the Buddha and become the number one monk in the Buddhist Realm?” Zhu Yanyi retorted mockingly.

“Everyone thinks differently. Perhaps the Evil Buddha has considered this, just not as carefully as you,” Yan Aohan answered with a grin.

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. “I will wait for the Evil Buddha to come.”

Zhu Yanyi was actually curious about what the Evil Buddha looked like. But when she finally met her, she found that her appearance gave no hint that she was the Evil Buddha. Of course, that is a story for later.

Before the Evil Buddha appeared, Zhu Yanyi did not make a big show. Since the zombies were extinct, this place needed rebuilding. Zhu Yanyi decided to help completely. She acted like a flower-sprinkling fairy, or rather, a plant fairy. She sowed countless seeds across this plane.

Watching the ground slowly sprout green shoots, Zhu Yanyi was very satisfied. “Although I do not have the power of nature, my wood ability is not useless. At least I can catalyze these seeds. It looks much better now. The rest depends on the humans of this world. After all, humans create the world.”

Yan Aohan said, “It is fine for now. We can create together. But I fear that over time, they will fight again for various powers.”

“Where there are people, there is strife. We both understand this. So do not think too much,” Zhu Yanyi said. She was much more open-minded about this than Yan Aohan.

Yan Aohan looked helpless. “Wife, do not forget that once war breaks out, our Yanluo Realm will be busy again.”

“World unity still needs time,” Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. However, this comfort seemed a bit insincere.
