Chapter 452 - 451: How Many Vacancies Are There for the Mortal World Saint Seats?

"I really didn’t expect it to be like this."

"I had no idea that the Great Ming King and Ksitigarbha had a conspiracy."

"Master, you should see clearly!"

"No matter how foolish I am, I know that if you become a Saint, the benefits you can provide me are something the Great Ming King absolutely cannot."

"How could I betray you and help outsiders?"

The Six-Eared Macaque cried out in grievance, screaming in defense.

He does not have Sun Wukong’s physique, and the terrifying methods of the Underworld naturally cause him unbearable pain.

Back then, it seemed like he was evenly matched with Sun Wukong.

In fact, it was only because the Tightening Spell suppressed Sun Wukong’s physique.

Sun Wukong stole Flat Peaches, consumed the Immortal Pill, and in life was refined endlessly; his physique was tempered thoroughly.

The Six-Eared Macaque could steal all his skills, but he could not replicate his physique.

And this has always been his regret.

The Six-Eared Macaque lamented miserably, "I’m just a substitute."

"As long as Sun Wukong lives, I cannot find peace day or night."

"I could only hope that you, Master, would go and cooperate with the Great Ming King to completely solve Sun Wukong."

"But I really didn’t expect it to turn out like this..."

His expression was filled with sorrow.

The reappearance of Sun Wukong as a Quasi-Saint in front of the world filled him with despair.

His identity, now, is completely exposed.

The glory obtained by substituting is shattered overnight.

Now, he is like a rat in a gutter, not daring to appear in the light of day.

But Golden Cicada showed no sympathy, instead, only endless anger and scorn.

"You worthless thing, what do I keep you by my side for?"

"It’s to have you monitor the movements of all Quasi-Saints!"

"Yet, the conspiracy between the Great Ming King and Ksitigarbha, you knew nothing about."

"If that’s the case, then what use do I have for you?"

Golden Cicada spread his wings, the white light feathers piercing between the Six-Eared Macaque’s pipa bones, making blood spray and flesh fly.

"It’s my incompetence, my carelessness..."

"I was too focused on Sun Wukong’s side, neglecting others."

"I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!"

The Six-Eared Macaque cried out in pain, wailing and admitting guilt.

He begged for Golden Cicada’s forgiveness.

Yet this could not quell Golden Cicada’s anger.

He took out a Thorn Divine Whip, like a madman, continuously lashing at the Six-Eared Macaque.

The miserable cries shook the sea of clouds.

No one knew how long had passed until the Six-Eared Macaque’s voice grew quieter, and only then did Golden Cicada finally stop.

He coldly looked at the nearly unconscious Six-Eared Macaque, and said viciously:

"I’ll spare your life this time."

"If this happens again, I’ll give you the most painful death!"

"Hmph!"

Golden Cicada turned and left the Forbidden Realm.

The ropes binding the Six-Eared Macaque automatically fell off.

The Six-Eared Macaque rolled off the copper pillar.

At this moment, his fur was dull, his flesh rotten, utterly miserable.

All the former honor and dignity of the Victorious Fighting Buddha were gone.

He was like a beast beaten by its master.

He lowered his head, nearly touching the ground, scalding blood slid down his face, and no one saw his resentful eyes.

...

On the other side.

In the Forbidden Realm of Little Western Heaven.

Yellow Eyebrow’s face was also full of emotion.

"As expected, it’s just as the Buddha anticipated."

"Everything, originally, was the plot of the Great Ming King and Ksitigarbha."

"Alas..."

"Now, in our Buddha Country, there will be yet another Saint competitor..."

He sighed helplessly, his face very unpleasant.

The East Buddha, was supposed to be the predetermined future Buddha candidate.

Another Saint should emerge in the Buddha Country.

It should be the East Buddha!

Yet the Present Buddha is supporting Golden Cicada’s ascension.

Leaving the East Buddha with an unexpected competitor.

It’s one thing to compete for the Saint seat with Golden Cicada, although he has the World Honored One’s support, the East Buddha holds an exalted position and has extremely terrifying strength himself.

So, between the two of them, it’s not clear who would win.

But things are different now.

Now the Great Ming King Peacock is an additional variable!

During the Gods Sealing Calamity Era, the Great Ming King Peacock was two-faced.

The yin side was female, the yang side male.

In the early days, he walked the world dominated by the yang side and was called Kong Xuan!

Before Kong Xuan’s body was destroyed,

he was once acclaimed as the first person under a Saint!

Despite how this claim was sneered at by a few,

it proved the terrifying power of the yang side Peacock at the time!

For anyone wanting to vie for a Saint seat, Kong Xuan was a massive obstacle undeniably in their way.

Unfortunately.

During the Gods Sealing Calamity, Kong Xuan’s body was destroyed.

From then, the Great Ming King Peacock was left somente with the yin side.

She lost the confidence to compete for a Saint seat.

And from then, she secluded herself in the Western Heaven Buddha Country, not appearing to the world.

However, no one expected.

That she, who seemed to have given up the ambition to become a Saint, had already secretly allied with Ksitigarbha, luring out the elusive Qilin Emperor...

"With Qilin Holy Blood, even if the Great Ming King Peacock can’t restore to her former peak, she’d still be among the top strong Quasi-Saints..."

"Buddha, our odds of winning seem to be getting smaller..."

Yellow Eyebrow spoke, his face filled with worry.

The giant Buddha’s shadow dwelling in the sea of clouds, however, remained serene.

"This indeed isn’t good news."

"But more anxious than I am, should be Golden Cicada."

Yellow Eyebrow worriedly said, "Him? I’m rather worried he might reach an agreement with the Great Ming King Peacock to join forces against You Buddha first, before competing..."

The Future Buddha shook his head and said, "He won’t."

"Why not? They’re both Tathagata’s people, after all." Yellow Eyebrow was puzzled.

"Precisely because they are both Tathagata’s people, Golden Cicada won’t ally with the Great Ming King."

The Future Buddha’s words utterly baffled Yellow Eyebrow.

"Disciple is dull and doesn’t understand the profound meaning, please clarify, Buddha..."

The Future Buddha didn’t act mysterious and explained calmly:

"With Golden Cicada’s strength alone, vying for a Saint’s seat is as hard as ascending to the heavens."

"His confidence comes entirely from Tathagata’s support."

"But Tathagata’s aim is to deal with outsiders."

"Imagine, if I’m not here, would it matter to Tathagata whether Golden Cicada or the Great Ming King becomes a Saint?"

Upon hearing this, Yellow Eyebrow was momentarily stunned, then a realization dawned on him.

"So, in the competition for your seat, Buddha, Tathagata will intervene to help."

"However, in a competition between Golden Cicada and the Great Ming King, it will be up to their own abilities!"

"In that case..."

Yellow Eyebrow contemplated for a while, his eyes slightly serious, he said:

"Not only will Golden Cicada not ally with the Great Ming King, he might even, most likely, have to cooperate with you, Buddha!"

"Because without Tathagata’s intervention, he holds no advantage against the Great Ming King!"

"And he himself must be well aware of this!"

Thinking of this, Yellow Eyebrow, who had been filled with worry earlier, finally had a trace of joy on his face.

"But speaking of this..."

Yellow Eyebrow hesitated a bit, finally asked:

"Buddha, how many vacancies are there for Saint seats in the Mortal World?"
