Chapter 563 Thank you for the rocket donation, my friend!
When the man dressed in priest's robes entered the main hall of the temple, Tilopa was standing in front of the only Buddha statue in the hall.
The head of the Shingon Temple appeared to be around twenty years old, with a neutral appearance that combined masculine handsomeness with feminine grace. He lacked the ruggedness of a body-refining martial artist and instead exuded a sense of ethereal emptiness.
Its figure is tall and straight, draped in a purple robe, with seven-colored rainbow light appearing and disappearing around it, making it seem as if it were one with the Buddha statue behind it, making it difficult to distinguish which one is the real Buddha.
"Georgie, the Orthodox priest of Ursus, has come by order of the Holy See to reach a deal with Your Excellency," the priest said matter-of-factly.
Diropa stood tall, his anger now subsided. He looked at the priest and said calmly, "I know what your Iron Patriarch wants, but the question is, can you give me what I want?"
Over the years, Dongxia Daxing Temple has established martial arts schools in various countries, with Ursus, which is adjacent to Dongxia, being of paramount importance.
The Tantric sect also paid close attention to this matter and sent spies to investigate.
Fa Hui, the head of the martial arts school of Daxing Temple in Ursus, is an undercover agent of the Tantric sect.
Therefore, the Tantric school is quite familiar with the cooperation between Daxing Temple and Ursus.
Daxing Temple has been actively developing its influence and faith, with the aim of one day using faith to help its powerful members advance to the level of divine enemies.
They expanded into countries like Ursus and Shinra, opening martial arts schools not only to spread their influence but also to seek superior methods for maintaining their faith and promoting their beliefs.
Despite the flourishing of Buddhism, the Mahayana Buddhist scripture related to incense in "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" did not fall into the hands of the Eastern Xia Buddhist sect, but was obtained by Ursus.
Ursus's belief system developed from this cultivation technique and the remains of the Holy Son.
As for the Shinra Empire on the other side, it is inhabited by an evil god and rose to power through bloodline and faith.
In order to find a way to overcome the divine enemy, Daxing Temple naturally had to learn from these two countries.
Both countries are also quite eager for the martial arts of Dongxia and the incense and religious practices mastered by the Buddhist sect.
Daxing Temple did not go as far down this path as the Ursus Orthodox Church, but due to the origin of Mahayana Buddhism itself, the Ursus Orthodox Church also had some desire for Buddhism.
As a major school of Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism can certainly meet the needs of orthodox religions, or rather... meet the needs of Patriarch Joseph.
At this moment, he needs to make another breakthrough in his faith.
"Ursus will guarantee your safety and protect you from Eastern Xia's pursuit."
The priest said calmly, "In addition, we will give you appropriate compensation, such as some orthodox scriptures."
Even when facing the Heavenly Gate Warriors, this priest did not show weakness; in fact, he even carried a threatening air about him.
If the deal goes through, the Ursus Orthodox Church will guarantee the safety of Diroba and the others. But what if it doesn't?
It's estimated that the first thing that makes them feel unsafe is the orthodox church.
"That's really domineering."
Diroba sneered, "Are they sure they can take us down?"
"Our country has dozens of bases in India. If you become our enemy, you will have to stay in India. If we can hold you off for a while, the Eastern Xia pursuers will make you regret it."
Georgie threatened.
Ursus people have always been stubborn, and Joseph is a true extreme Ursusian, known for his tough and domineering style.
His followers were drawn to Joseph because of his domineering ways, and this style of behavior is something that is impossible and unchangeable.
Upon hearing this, Di Ruoba almost felt the anger he had just suppressed surge up again.
However, he was still a Buddhist martial artist, and although he did not practice the path of goodness, he still had a certain mindset.
"They held off the Yumen Gang for three days."

Di Ruoba coldly replied, "If you can do that, I will hand over all the information about the sect's incense offerings."
Upon hearing this, the priest thought for a moment and said, "I need to report to the Holy See."
I need an answer within a day.
Diropa's face was cold. He waved his sleeve, and a powerful force suddenly arose, blasting the priest out of the door.
Even so, Diroba was still furious, his eyes flashing with malice.
A light, teasing laugh rang out at that moment.
"To be so provoked by a mere mortal, Di Ruoba, you have truly disgraced the warriors of Tianguan."
A shadow extended from Diroba's feet, covering the wall beside him, revealing a bizarre form of someone riding a mule.
A sharp sound echoed, accompanied by a faint smell of blood.
If Bai Ze were here, he would be able to recognize that this is the voice of Lakshmi.
"Joseph is in dire straits himself; his smugness won't last long."
Diroba snorted coldly and said, "The important matter is the priority; there's no need for us to add unnecessary risks."
Even so, Diroba's expression remained cold and gloomy, but he forcibly suppressed it for a more important purpose.
"Your Excellency needs the Dharma of Great Liberation. We must find the traces left by the blood sacrifice of four hundred million people as soon as possible and bring them to Your Excellency. As long as Your Excellency can break through with this, our Tantric school can establish a Buddhist kingdom on this land in the future."
"What is a little shame compared to such a momentous event?"
The eerie shadows on the wall rippled, and Lakshmi's sharp voice softened somewhat. "Then hurry. I also need more power related to Great Freedom. Perhaps I can use it to create a vessel so that I can descend."
Palden Lhamo had no objection to seeking opportunities for Acala.
As evil deities secretly worshipped by Tantric Buddhism, Palden Lhamo and the Lord of the Sita Forest have long been indistinguishable from Tantric Buddhism.
The charnel ground master chose to help the Red Sun Dharma King consolidate the Tantric lineage, while Palden Lhamo accompanied Tilopa to India to seek the next possibility for Acala's breakthrough.
The route through Bai Ze is temporarily blocked, but fortunately, there is still the ancient land of Fanzhu.
This is the place where the Great Freedom first descended, and it was here that the Great Freedom committed the most horrifying blood sacrifice of 400 million people.
Even after so many years, traces of the Great Freedom still remain on this land.
If it can be found, the Immovable One might be able to use it to make a breakthrough.
At that time, whether it's establishing a Buddhist kingdom on earth in India or taking advantage of the situation in the West, both would be excellent choices.
The premise is that everything goes smoothly.
Thinking of the villain he had encountered before, Diroba's expression turned somber.
On the other side, Bai Ze withdrew his consciousness, his eyes flashing with divine light.
Tiruba's location has been locked.
He directly conjured a map of India with his divine sense and, based on previous discoveries, determined the location of Tilopa's true form.
"They're quite close to the Jade Gate Gang's location. It's a pity the Jade Gate Gang's leader went to the Mountain and Sea Realm to help, otherwise we could have directly sent people to intercept and kill them."
Yue Changge, the leader of the Yumen Gang, is personally certified by the God of War as the number one swordsman of the Heavenly Pass, a true warrior of the Three Heavenly Passes.
If he were to make a move, Diroba would likely be in serious trouble.
.....
.....
Unfortunately, the most crucial battle in the Mountain and Sea Realm is currently taking place, and we can't bring back the formidable Yue Changge.
"Loshu, have our satellites keep an eye on this place, and while we're at it, also borrow Ursus's satellites."
Bai Ze said this while looking at the map.
A communicator made of nanoparticles took flight, and Luo Shu's voice came through it.
【clear.】
[Master, there's one more thing Luo Shu needs to remind you of. Five minutes ago, you officially gained the authority to become a council member of the Martial Arts Association. Now you can use your points to exchange for any martial arts technique from the Association. All techniques from Yujing Martial Arts University have been unlocked for exchange, including the *Cantongqi*.]
"Hmm?" Bai Ze's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. "Good news."
The biggest problem in obtaining the "Cantongqi" is not the points, but the access permissions.
Although the points are expensive, they are not difficult to obtain with Bai Ze's current abilities. The key difficulty lies in obtaining the necessary permissions.
Even if Bai Ze makes great contributions, he can only unlock permissions chapter by chapter.
Now, having become a director of the Martial Arts Association, Bai Ze's authority at Yujing Martial Arts University has jumped to the level of the principal. Although he is not as powerful, he still receives all the benefits he is entitled to.
What will constrain Bai Ze next is not the difficulty in obtaining the cultivation technique, but how to master it.
The ability to make words law can be easily mastered, but to truly perfect it requires Bai Ze's own effort.
"I must say, the God of War really gave me a great gift this time," Bai Ze sighed.
This made it even harder for him to refuse the mission assigned by the God of War.
Bai Ze has always been someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. This time, the God of War has really put the "gentle" approach to the extreme, offering so many benefits to test Bai Ze.
However, Bai Ze did not rush to check the cultivation technique, but instead dealt with Di Ruoba's matter first.
Now that he's found out, some preparations are necessary.
"Have you located the position?" Bai Ze asked.
[Locked.]
[Additionally, information obtained from the Ursus satellite indicates that Senior Orthodox Priest Georgy Konstantinsky Chokov entered the target area minutes earlier, presumably to meet with Tiruba.]
[Initial data retrieval is underway for Senior Priest George.]
[Retrieved.]
George was the godson of Patriarch Joseph and a close confidant of Joseph…
Just hearing the first sentence or two was enough for Bai Ze to confirm Georgie's composition.
"Joseph returned from the Mountain and Sea Realm so quickly? Or did some kind of communication method send the message back first?"
Bai Ze frowned.
He was able to return from the Mountain and Sea Realm so quickly because he possessed the power to make his words come true and could perform spatial teleportation.
Joseph shouldn't have been able to return so quickly, and he didn't have similar means to assist him.
But George's actions demonstrate that Joseph has indeed returned his will to the Orthodox Church. Now, Joseph's followers have begun to take action.
Bai Ze didn't know why Georgie wanted to see Diroba, but he was certain that the purpose was most likely related to the Orthodox faith.
If it's related to orthodox faith, then it's related to Catherine the Great and also to Bai Ze.
Given Bai Ze's relationship with Catherine, he could be considered a semi-orthodox believer.
If Joseph wants to seize the Orthodox faith, he must first get past Bai Ze.
Bai Ze quickly sorted through the information and paid more attention to Diroba and Georgie.
He flicked his finger, and the communication terminal projected a light screen.
Bai Ze operated the screen, compiled two application messages, and sent them out.
In the martial arts association president's office, the God of War, who was about to dissipate the projection, suddenly froze.
He saw a light screen pop up with Bai Ze's name displayed on it.
The God of War postponed his departure and had Nangong Shuo open the message to read Bai Ze's application.
The first application was for the exchange of the complete copy of the "Cantongqi".
The military genius couldn't help but chuckle, "The message hadn't even reached him yet, and he already knew his authority had been upgraded. This kid uses his power without hesitation."
With that, the God of War casually agreed to Bai Ze's application.
Then came the second application—an application to pursue the remnants of Tantric Buddhism.
The God of War revealed a surprised expression.
.....
.....
Although he had only met Bai Ze once, the shrewd and experienced military genius had already roughly discerned Bai Ze's style of doing things.
Bai Ze has a strong sense of the big picture and is even willing to compromise for the greater good, but without sufficient benefits, he cannot be motivated to take the initiative.
He actually volunteered to pursue the remnants of the Tantric sect without needing an order from the God of War; it's truly a rare sight.
Or perhaps Bai Ze, having become a director of the Martial Arts Association, has suddenly become more responsible?
He also said that the location of the Shingon Temple's Tilopa had been pinpointed...
The God of War raised an eyebrow, realizing that he had underestimated Bai Ze's abilities.
The God of War continued reading.
"Applying for missile launch rights from the military base in India?"
The military genius was starting to lose his composure.
The next second, a warning came from a federal satellite.
[The Steel Continent missile silo has been opened.]
[WARNING! Please prepare for fusion attack protection!]
Missile silos are mostly used to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles, but in the modern era, in order to ensure the killing of martial arts masters, intercontinental ballistic missiles are mostly equipped with nuclear warheads.
The Steel Continent has a tendency to launch nuclear weapons, so the Eastern Xia Federation naturally needs to take precautions.
"What is this going to do?" The God of War was also surprised by Bai Ze.
Bai Ze really knows how to use his power to launch missiles at the slightest provocation.
Even the military genius was starting to regret giving away such extensive privileges.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that even without the authority, Bai Ze could still casually send a few rockets as a reward.
The Federation requires an application for missile launches, but the Steel Continent simply started the process directly.
Bai Ze's control over the Steel Continent is indeed very deep. Even though he is still in the Time Wheel Palace, he can still command the launch of missiles.
The thought had barely crossed my mind when the notification sounded again.
[A missile strike has been detected en route, destined for ancient India.]
The intercontinental ballistic missile of the steel continent has been launched.
The images on the screen switched at the right time, allowing the God of War and the other two to see several streaks of fire flying across the sky, heading straight towards the ancient land of India.
Considering the quantity, it is unlikely to be nuclear weapons.
Even if Bai Ze is reckless and willful, he wouldn't start with so many nuclear weapons.
Judging from the size of the missile, its power should be considerable.
Five streaks of fire flew across the sea in a short period of time, triggering a host of alarms and entering the ancient land of India.
Then, a spectacular fireworks display erupted on the ancient land of India.
