Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

At the same moment, as Qingyuan Temple and Fulin Temple were tragically destroyed, a figure sped towards the capital of Great Xia from the west like lightning.

The speed at which they arrived was astonishing; they reached the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty in less than an hour.

Inside the Zhenwu Division, Xia Taige sat quietly at the table.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly raised his head and stared intently in the direction from which the figure was rushing towards him.

Xia Taige pondered for a moment, but ultimately decided not to make a move, only softly calling out:

"Ancestor!"

Deep within the imperial mausoleum, the Great Xia Ancestor, upon hearing this, slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

The ancestor nodded slightly in the direction of Xia Taige, then his figure flickered and he rose up like a ghost.

Xia Taige wasn't actually too surprised by the sudden arrival of this powerful terrestrial immortal from the Great Thunderclap Temple.

After all, tonight, all the Buddhist forces within the Great Xia territory that took the opportunity to amass wealth and deceive the people were uprooted. With such swift and decisive measures, the Great Thunderclap Temple naturally could not sit idly by.

Or rather, this powerful figure from the Great Thunderclap Temple, a terrestrial immortal, was also establishing authority for Buddhism, and for the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty.

Otherwise, if it were to imitate others poorly, where would Buddhism find a way to survive on the Chinese mainland?

The Great Zhou and Great Shang were certainly aware of the harm that Buddhism brought; they were simply hesitant to act on it.

Given the opportunity, neither dynasty would hold back when they turned on the other.

It can be said that at this moment, the actions of the Great Thunder Temple will surely spread throughout the entire Chinese continent by dawn.

Without uttering any unnecessary words, the newcomer mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, condensing a giant palm in the sky above the Great Xia Dynasty and slamming it down towards the imperial city.

At this moment, Emperor Xia had not slept. He and Wei Yong were in the imperial study, eagerly awaiting the outcome of the suppression of Buddhism.

Just then, a sudden chill ran through them, and a sense of impending doom gripped their hearts.

Wei Yong acted decisively, and was about to pull Xia Huang away when he heard a magnificent voice in his ear.

"Bald monk, this has gone too far!"

At the critical moment, the Great Xia Ancestor arrived just in time and stopped the giant palm from striking down.

"Hmph! The Great Xia Dynasty wants to destroy the foundation of Buddhism. What's wrong with this old monk coming to destroy the imperial city?"

The Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple snorted coldly, looked at the Great Xia Ancestor who came to block his way, and said indifferently.

The Great Xia Ancestor did not respond. The two stood facing each other in silence for a long time, each pondering how to handle the next situation.

Both of them were powerful beings at the terrestrial immortal realm, and could be considered as geniuses of their generation.

Becoming a terrestrial immortal is far more than just one in ten thousand.

Throughout the entire Chinese continent, with an estimated population of tens of millions, there are only nine terrestrial immortals.

Who isn't exceptionally gifted? Intelligence, opportunity, perseverance, and comprehension are all indispensable.

At this moment, inside the imperial study, the pounding hearts of the master and servant finally calmed down.

They all stepped out of the imperial study and looked at the two people facing each other in the sky above the imperial palace.

Emperor Xia never expected that the mere act of destroying Buddhism would summon a powerful being at the terrestrial immortal realm to seek revenge.

He couldn't help but curse Xia Taige, that unfilial son, in his heart.

The powerful cultivator at the Great Thunderclap Temple, a terrestrial immortal, awakened the entire capital city.

Many people even witnessed firsthand the enormous hand that had gathered above the imperial city, obscuring the sky and the moon.

The major powers in the city stepped forward, turning their attention to the skies above the imperial city, eager to witness firsthand the splendor of the terrestrial immortals.

Many powerful forces may never have seen a terrestrial immortal in their entire lives.

At this moment, two figures stood in the sky above the imperial palace, and who wouldn't want to witness them with their own eyes?

Of course, the bold get rich while the timid starve, and those who try to profit from the chaos seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to act.

At this moment, inside the Zhenwu Division, some uninvited guests quietly bypassed the Jinyiwei and the city guards and sneaked into the Zhenwu Division.

In the afternoon, the Zhenwu Division marched out of the city in a grand procession. Although the various major powers did not know their destination, it was true that the Zhenwu Division was now empty of personnel.

Inside the main hall of the Zhenwu Division, Xia Taige glanced around and immediately stopped paying attention to them, continuing to focus his gaze on the two people on the imperial city.

Xia Taige did not believe that the current leader of the Divine Cult would not be involved in this matter.

Xia Taige found it hard to believe that the Great Thunderclap Temple could react so quickly without the involvement of the leader of the Divine Sect.

At this moment, Xia Taige feared that he might be hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

"Go and clean it up!" Xia Taige instructed softly.

"Yes!" Jian Jiuhuang, who was standing to the side, realized that this was no ordinary situation. Without any attempt to act coy, he agreed and turned to leave.

Above the imperial city, the Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple was caught in a dilemma.

Upon learning of the drastic decline of Buddhism's fortunes, he rushed to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty without much thought.

But by then, even after realizing what's happening, it's useless.

Now, even if you risk your life to kill the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty below, what will happen after that?

Who knows if the Great Xia Ancestor will personally go to the Great Thunderclap Temple outside the Great Xia border and wipe out the entire Great Thunderclap Temple.

However, if we remain indifferent now, by tomorrow morning the news will have spread throughout the entire Chinese continent, and the Great Thunderclap Temple will likely have lost all its deterrent power. Within the three great dynasties, there will be no more Buddhist sects of its kind.

Xia Taige looked at the hesitant Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple in mid-air and couldn't help but shake his head.

Only after Xia Taige ascended to the realm of terrestrial immortals with the help of the nation's fortune did he realize why these powerful figures in the terrestrial immortal realm valued the development of their subordinate forces so much.

The leader of the Divine Cult is one, as is the Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple.

Ultimately, there's only one reason—luck.

The only way for a terrestrial immortal to climb to the next realm is through luck.

Only by unifying the Chinese continent and concentrating the national destiny of the entire Chinese continent into one's own body can one break through to the realm beyond the terrestrial immortal realm.

This has always been the goal of the leader of the cult.

Of course, Buddhism was also secretly preparing for this, but now it has been cut short by Xia Taige.

As Xia Taige was still sighing, he saw the Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple leave the imperial city and head straight for the Zhenwu Division's office.

"It's broken, you came for me!"

Xia Taige cursed inwardly, his mind racing as he tried to think of a solution.

Now that Donghuang Taiyi has been exposed, if Xia Taige's strength is also made public, then Great Xia will likely become the enemy of the entire Chinese continent in an instant.

At that time, even Xia Taige might not be able to bear the consequences.

Three terrestrial immortals, and two more who had broken through to the terrestrial immortal realm through some unknown means, undoubtedly pushed the Great Xia Dynasty into the eye of the storm.

Xia Taige had a headache.

It makes sense, considering that the Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple is aware of his presence in all of the Great Xia's actions.
