Chapter 46: Demon Path Makes an Entrance

The arrivals comprised of a monk and a Taoist.

The monk hailed from one of the Three Great Buddhist Temples in Central Earth, the Great Zen Temple.

The Three Great Buddhist Temples were once Nalanda Temple, Great Zen Temple, and the Esoteric Sect. Nalanda Temple was the Ancestral Court of Buddhism, originating from the source of Buddhist Law in the Peacock Dynasty. As the Peacock Dynasty met with natural disasters and great changes, losing nine-tenths of its population, it then relocated to the Central Plains from the Peacock Dynasty.

Thus, although it was the Ancestral Court of Buddhism, in the Central Plains it was the last to establish a temple. Majority of its disciples were remnants of the Peacock Dynasty, unable to forget their old lands and not accepted by the Central Plains people. They were thus confined within the vast Desert of the Western Regions, hindered from spreading their teachings.
