Invitation declined: Multiverse Mall is now open for business

Page 301It’s easy to imagine how furious the Shaolin monks who arrived later were.

Furthermore, Shaolin Temple lacks a leader with sufficient power and prestige to unite it, leaving it fragmented and divided among its various factions.

”It is hoped that this Nine Palaces Master can step forward and lead the revival of Buddhism.”

Master Fangzheng from the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer had a look in his eyes that revealed a mixture of anticipation and resentment.

He wasn’t the only one to enter the Myriad Realms Mall in the world of Laughing at the World.

He wouldn’t mention Yue Buqun.

He curries favor with powerful figures and is adept at navigating social situations, earning him a certain reputation even within the Myriad Realms Mall.

However, in the world of Swordsman, the Wudang Sect, which is on par with the Shaolin Temple, is still far behind the Shaolin Temple.

The last time he met Daoist Chongxu, he was astonished to find that Daoist Chongxu had already reached the level of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts.

Moreover, Master Chongxu is not an ordinary martial arts grandmaster; he has at least reached the mid-stage or even late-stage of the martial arts grandmaster realm.

”I am still a martial arts master.”

Master Fangzheng said helplessly.

In the world of Swordsman, let alone martial arts grandmasters, even those at the Innate Realm are invincible.

But this is the Multiverse Mall.

A mere martial arts master is truly insignificant.

”I hope that the Nine Palaces Immortal is a female Bodhisattva!”

Abbot Kongwen of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world also looked on with anticipation and let out a long sigh.

Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple, who is in the world of ”The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,” is only comparable to Master Chongxu of Wudang Sect. What about him?

He and Zhang Sanfeng are from the same world.

“When Zhang Sanfeng was on the mission to suppress the Celestial Dragon Clan, he had already broken through to the Celestial Realm. Now, there are even rumors that he has begun to try to break through to the fourth level.”

In the original world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect were rivals.

But now?

Shaolin Temple can only look up to Wudang Sect.

He had heard that the Seven Masters of Wudang had already reached the level of Grandmaster in martial arts.

That third-generation disciple of the Wudang Sect named Zhang Wuji is even more outrageous.

There are even rumors that Zhang Wuji has begun attempting to break through to the Celestial Realm.

”Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng is also the supreme leader of the Wudang Sect across the heavens!”

In the Myriad Realms Mall, all the people Zhang Sanfeng befriended were renowned figures in the mall.

Even forces like the Ming Dynasty Mercenary Group, Kyushu Supermarket, and Kyushu Museum maintain good relations with the Wudang Sect of the Heavens.

”When will our Shaolin Temple reach the level of the Wudang Sect in the heavens?!”

Abbot Kongwen was also very unwilling.

”Divine Monk, should our Shaolin Temple try to make contact with this Master Jiugong?”

Abbot Xuanci of the Tianlong world sized up the dignified and imposing Jiugong Zhenren, dressed in white robes and hat, and was somewhat tempted.

The Shaolin Temple in the world of Tianlong is in a much better situation than the Shaolin Temple in other worlds.

They entered the Myriad Realms Mall relatively early, and since the Sweeper Monk was a martial arts master, they also grew steadily within the Myriad Realms Mall.

The Sweeper Monk has now stepped into the half-step Celestial Realm and is attempting to break through to the Celestial Realm.

Once the Sweeper Monk breaks through to the Celestial Realm, the status of Shaolin Temple will undergo a dramatic change.

”Compared to Master Zhang, the divine monk is only missing a name.”

Abbot Xuanci felt very sorry for the Sweeper Monk.

In Abbot Xuanci’s opinion, the Sweeper Monk’s talent was no less than Zhang Sanfeng’s.

The reason why there is such a large gap in strength and status between the two sides is entirely due to their identities.

Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of the Wudang School. Although they come from different worlds, the Wudang disciples from other worlds will not object to recommending Zhang Sanfeng as the head of the Wudang School in all realms.

But what about the Sweeping Monk?

The Sweeping Monk is too low-key.

The Sweeping Monk is not Bodhidharma.

It was neither the Second Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Huike, nor the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, nor the Third, Fourth, or Fifth Patriarchs of Zen Buddhism.

Even the Sweeping Monk was not famous in history.

Furthermore, the conflicts between Shaolin Temples in different worlds are too deep.

Sects like Wudang, Huashan, and Quanzhen also have the same sect originating from different worlds.

However, the relationships between these sects are much better than those between Shaolin Temple.

Even if these sects share the same martial arts manuals, there are only a few that are the same, at most a dozen or so.

The conflict and hatred between them at Shaolin Temple involved nearly a hundred martial arts manuals. If converted into value points, it would make many Shaolin monks vomit blood.

The loss is too great.

”If Master Jiugong is willing, we can support her.”

Without any hesitation, the sweeping monk nodded.

In the Myriad Realms Mall, the difference between a force with a fourth-tier expert and one without is enormous.

Why did the Ming Dynasty mercenary group spend so many value points to desperately improve the strength of Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi?

That’s because a fourth-tier expert can gain more from hunting a fourth-tier ferocious beast than a third-tier expert can gain from hunting for a whole day.

Moreover, without reaching a certain level of strength, you will not be able to integrate into high-end circles.

At the same time, even a small amount of resources from a top-tier expert can rapidly enhance the strength of their subordinate forces.

The Wudang Sect of the Heavens is the best example.

The Wudang factions from different worlds pooled their value points to purchase resources, rapidly enhancing Zhang Sanfeng’s strength.

After Zhang Sanfeng broke through to the Martial Arts Celestial Realm, the Wudang Sect took off completely.

In the world of One Piece, sea kings are a resource that is very suitable for cultivators below the third tier to cultivate with, but only those at the third tier have the ability to hunt them.

The Wudang Sect of the Heavens eats sea kings every day, their medicinal baths are made with the blood of third-tier ferocious beasts, and their elixirs have no restrictions.

How can they compare under these circumstances?

······

The Shaolin Temple in other worlds, and the Buddhist sects in other worlds, all share similar ideas.

Although they had never heard of Master Jiugong, his strength was enough to convince them.

As long as Master Jiugong raises a call, they will flock to him and support him in establishing the Shaolin Temple of the Heavens, and even the Buddhist sect of the Heavens.

”Is the Shaolin Temple about to rise? Once Master Jiugong establishes his power, all the Shaolin Temples will probably join him. With the cultivation resources provided by a fourth-level expert, it would be too easy for them to rise.”

”It’s not just Shaolin Temple; other Buddhist forces can also benefit from the success of a single person, with their entire family and friends rising to prominence under the protection of Master Jiugong.”

”Sigh~ I’m so envious. When will our sect be able to produce a top expert?”

·······

Some factions also understood the key point and looked at the bald customers in the Myriad Realms Mall with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

”My wish is to one day be able to take the Buddha as my mount.”

Master Jiugong wore an absurd smile, but his tone was extremely solemn.

She was born for the Buddha, and spent many years by his side, yet the Buddha never once gave her a proper look.

“Buddha, today you ignore me, but tomorrow you will be begging for my attention.”

Master Fangzheng, Master Kongwen, Abbot Xuanci, the Sweeping Monk, and other monks were all met with a question mark.

When did he take the Buddha as his mount?

Are you sure you are a Buddhist?

The others, ”...”

I am!

This Nine Palaces Master is so resourceful!

Chapter 244 Are you sure this is a zombie, not a god?

”Holy crap! Awesome! Awesome! This is truly awesome! I can’t even describe my admiration.”

“I’ve learned something, I’ve really learned something. If you believe in him, you can capture him and use him as your mount. If you use the Buddha as your mount, then the Nine Palaces Immortal is definitely a genius.”

”This sudden turn of events almost broke my back, which is at the third level of cultivation.”

”This is perhaps the realm of cultivation. This is perhaps the reason why Master Jiugong was able to break through to the fourth level. He is so strong that I am completely in awe.”
