The Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect needs no further explanation. Tathagata Buddha schemed against the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and nearly caused their deaths and disillusion. Although Tathagata is now dead, this debt will not be easily forgiven. Once the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court has their hands freed, the first they will deal with is the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect!
Moreover, after the previous Heaven-Opening battle, the hypocritical nature of the Buddhist Sect has spread throughout the Three Realms. Now it's not just the Heavenly Realm and the Netherworld; even the Human Realm has heard of it. The Buddhist Sect's reputation has plummeted, and many countries that once regarded it as their national religion have now abolished it, reclaiming their temples and monasteries.
The number of followers of the Buddhist Sect has also greatly diminished, with many monks returning to secular life. The remaining few are merely hanging on, experiencing bitter hardships.
