Chapter 465 - 464: The Quasi-Saint’s Scheming, Golden Cicada Is About to Lose Everything [Part 1]

Ksitigarbha slowly opened his eyes and calmly said:

"It’s quite good."

Diting was startled: "Quite... quite good?"

Unable to help frowning, it said, "Bodhisattva, what I mean is, Mahayana Scripture Mountain is too quiet, which means the Golden Cicada might be stealthily maneuvering, making some moves!"

Ksitigarbha remained indifferent: "Witch Zi Xuan tries to use a Secret Technique to sever the past and merge with all transformation forms of Nuwa, to achieve great cultivation herself."

"But how could such a fruit of the path be desired by her alone?"

"If the Golden Cicada doesn’t go, that would be strange."

His face was composed, evidently having anticipated the concerns of Diting.

"Since that is the case, why don’t you, Bodhisattva, make preparations in advance?"

Diting frowned.

Clearly, the Bodhisattva had already foreseen that the Golden Cicada would compete for that grand opportunity, yet seemed indifferent to it.

This left it somewhat perplexed.

One must know that last time, the Bodhisattva joined forces with the Great Ming King and used the oblivious Golden Cicada, which already indicated a stance.

If the Golden Cicada succeeds first,

that day’s matter could not possibly go unaccounted for!

But now...

"Who said I didn’t prepare in advance?" Ksitigarbha’s sudden words left Diting stunned.

Ksitigarbha’s eyes were deep as he said: "The Great Ming King has already set out."

"Ah?" Diting was shocked, clearly unaware of this, but quickly realized.

It was unaware of this matter.

So, equally.

The Six-Eared Macaque probably doesn’t know either!

It must be said.

This news surprised Diting a lot.

Because all movements had always been precisely under its grasp, yet the Great Ming King evaded its detection.

Nonetheless, Diting wasn’t too surprised,

itself and the Six-Eared Macaque, although able to listen to the Three Realms and Six Paths,

there are countless marvelous techniques in the world.

There are always some methods that can conceal the heavenly mechanism!

"So the Bodhisattva and the Great Ming King had long been prepared, it seems, the Golden Cicada will make another futile trip."

Diting couldn’t help but show a schadenfreude smile.

Ksitigarbha remained expressionless and said: "This time, he’s not making a futile trip, it’s not that simple."

"Wha... what do you mean?"

"Wait..."

Diting’s eyes concentrated, it exclaimed in shock: "The Great Ming King intends to deal with the Golden Cicada?"

"But he has the Shell Shedding and Rebirth Skill, even if something happens in the Outer Demon Land, he can be reborn in the Mahayana Scripture Mountain..."

Among the Quasi-Saints, the Golden Cicada’s actual strength is on the lower end.

Yet the Quasi-Saint Technique Golden Cicada Shell he cultivates is incredibly miraculous, concerned with the way of life and death, comparable to the Saint’s Method!

So, even if the Golden Cicada’s strength is insufficient, no Quasi-Saint can break through his Shell Shedding and Rebirth Skill.

And this is the fundamental confidence the Golden Cicada has in going to the Outer Demon Land to vie for that opportunity!

But Ksitigarbha’s next words made Diting’s hair stand on end.

"The Saint’s Method isn’t something the Golden Cicada can cultivate."

"I’ve always wondered how he mastered the way of life and death. Later, while perusing the scriptures and contemplating Zen, I suddenly thought of the years of the Journey to the West."

"What the Golden Cicada ultimately acquired was nothing more than two things."

"One was the Buddha Fruit Position, which is ostentatious and meaningless."

"The other, the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras, he used this scripture to spread the way and widely receive incense offerings."

"These two things seem unrelated to his technique."

"But upon careful reflection, before obtaining the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras, his Golden Cicada Rebirth Technique was still a lifetime after another, undergoing tribulations and rebirth."

"Oddly enough, after attaining Buddhahood, he had the Shell Shedding and Rebirth Skill; every time trouble arose, he could immediately reappear in the Western Heaven."

"Initially, I thought it was because he realized nearly the Saint’s Law after achieving Buddhahood."

"Although hard to believe, with the World Honored One’s teachings, realizing the way of life and death is just barely plausible."

"But the Six-Eared Macaque, not even a Quasi-Saint, also mastered the Shell Shedding and Rebirth Skill?"

"Even if personally taught by the Golden Cicada, it couldn’t possibly make sense."

"After all, some Dharma Gates, if one hasn’t reached the Realm, it’s impossible to master them even if presented directly."

"So, I later realized that the Golden Cicada’s Shell Shedding and Rebirth has nothing to do with the Power of Law!"

"Instead, it’s the Power of a Magical Artifact!"

"This artifact, unsurprisingly, is the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras!"

In the depths of Ksitigarbha’s eyes, a brilliant light shone, his voice suddenly turned cold as he said:

"And once the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras are found, the Golden Cicada will no longer be able to Shell Shedding and Rebirth!"

Diting listened, dumbfounded, despite having followed Ksitigarbha for many years, it was well aware of the Bodhisattva’s scheming and cunning.

Yet even at this moment, it couldn’t help but feel a chill down its spine.

"Every time the Golden Cicada returns, it’s at the Mahayana Scripture Mountain, so the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras must be there!"

Diting’s eyes narrowed slightly and said: "However, given the Golden Cicada’s caution, the Sutra likely isn’t that easy to find."

"At least, it’s hard to find without turning over every stone.

"Unless..."

It suddenly realized something, staring blankly at Bodhisattva, muttering four words.

"Six-Eared... Macaque?"

The corners of Ksitigarbha’s mouth slightly raised, revealing a secret that left Diting feeling terrified.

"A long time ago, I searched everywhere for exotic beings capable of listening to the world."

"One of them is you."

"The other is the Six-Eared Macaque."

At that moment.

Diting felt all the hair on its body standing up.

Its gaze towards Ksitigarbha became increasingly reverent.

This is too terrifying.

Making it feel horrified.

To think that it had followed Ksitigarbha for millions of years, possessing the innate Divine Techniques to hear the secrets of the world, and yet remained completely unaware of all this?

From this, it is evident.

Ksitigarbha’s thoughts and city planning.

The depths are unfathomable....

"In that case, only one last piece is missing."

"That would be someone capable of destroying the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras!"

Diting took a deep breath, naturally able to see the whole picture at this point.

It said: "This person is likely East Buddha..."

Ksitigarbha smiled: "In fact, I have no private schemes with East Buddha."

"But since there’s a chance to eliminate a great enemy, this knife, he is naturally willing to wield."

The waves of the Slaughter Sea surged, just like Diting’s current mood.

It had once again witnessed the methods of Bodhisattva.

Long-term planning, meticulously connected.

At the same time, it gained a new understanding of that seemingly reckless Great Ming King.

The opponent appeared indifferent to external matters on the surface, but secretly conspired with the Bodhisattva.

It could only say, her thoughts and scheming are also unfathomable like an abyss.

Diting secretly sighed.

Indeed, those capable of becoming Quasi-Saints are not simple.

"This time, the Golden Cicada is poised to lose everything." Diting said, amidst schadenfreude, filled with a sense of lament.

Ksitigarbha remained indifferent: "The position of the Saint was never meant to be something he could touch."
