Chapter 508 - 507: The World Unites Against Daoism? I’ll Return at Once
But Lady Nuwa.
What did she do to provoke Heaven’s wrath?
No one could understand, it truly was inexplicable.
Even the Ancestral Dragon furrowed his brows tightly.
"Is this matter, certain without a doubt?" someone tentatively asked, still doubtful about a Saint facing calamity.
Ghost Valley Master did not speak with absolute certainty either; he merely said calmly, "The affairs of Saints are beyond my divination. The reason for discovering Nuwa as a Tribulation Responder was actually due to some traces I found among the karmic ties involving the Great Dao Celestial Court, and it led to a conjecture."
"As for whether Lady Nuwa is truly a Tribulation Responder, that is not something I can assure."
Ghost Valley Master’s words triggered deep thought among everyone.
"To speak of karmic ties with the Great Dao Celestial Court and thereby being implicated, brings about some possibility!"
"According to Quasi-Saints involved in the Demon Realm seat battle, Nuwa’s successful ascension to the Celestial Dao Gate and subsequent sainthood was greatly aided by the Dao Lord of the Great Dao Celestial Court."
"In this life, Nuwa seems to be on very intimate terms with that Dao Lord."
"Perhaps it is because of this connection that she is implicated by Heaven’s will..."
This speculation gained considerable acknowledgment from many.
At the mention of the Lord of the Immortal Court, many couldn’t help but express their amazement.
"That Daoist is truly a monster."
"Rumor has it that in the Demon Realm, he not only withstood the Extreme Sacred Weapon, but single-handedly blocked thirteen Quasi-Saints. Not even East Buddha and Venerable Emperor Chong’en could break through his obstruction despite exhausting all tactics. It is simply incredible and shocking."
"Indeed, and based on reliable information, the one who killed Ksitigarbha likely was that Dao Lord without a doubt."
"It’s said that even the Demon Ancestor wielding the Donghuang Bell was deterred by that Daoist, truly unimaginable the Dao Lord’s strength..."
The whole hall was filled with sighs and also some regret.
"A few years ago, we thought that assisting the Great Dao Celestial Court could allow them to counter the Western Buddha Country in the future. Who could have imagined grooming a tiger to bring harm..."
These tidings from the Celestial Demon Realm have spread rapidly.
Now all Quasi-Saints under the heavens know that Lin Heng can withstand a Holy Soldier barehanded.
The title of the First Under Saints has already begun to circulate.
This has made many aspirants to the Saint’s seat feel immense pressure.
Even those in the Great Qin Celestial Court are greatly worried over it.
But...
"Fortunately, the Great Calamity descended in time, otherwise, this Daoist Immortal Court would truly become a massive entity," someone remarked, their tone filled with relief.
"It’s said that the Dao Lord has not yet returned. There are rumors that the Heaven-Barking Dog seemed to have used the Treasure Lotus Lamp to ambush him, so the current Daoist Immortal Court remains leaderless, and with the Great Calamity arriving, many forces will likely take the opportunity to act."
"Your Majesty, should we also get involved?"
All eyes turned to the silhouette deep within the Celestial Palace.
Slaying a Tribulation Responder promises Heaven’s Fortune, a colossal temptation even Quasi-Saints find hard to resist.
And the rapid development of the Great Dao Celestial Court has truly been astonishing.
Previously, Quasi-Saint Sun Wukong had already taken residence.
After the last Demon Realm incident.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts from the Demon Race and a Quasi-Saint from the Demon Realm also joined the Immortal Court.
Even without considering the Dao Lord hailed as the ’First Under Saints’, the power of the Daoist Immortal Court already poses a severe threat to the Great Qin.
Under such circumstances.
The people naturally harbored some thoughts.
However, the Ancestral Dragon shook his head and said: "The Great Calamity has just begun, with much unknown. Regardless of outside turbulence, the Great Qin shall not act rashly."
"This..."
The crowd exchanged glances; some Ancestral Immortals couldn’t help but say, "With the Dao Lord’s whereabouts unknown, all factions will certainly seize this opportunity to besiege the Daoist Court. This is not only a chance to eliminate threats but also to obtain Heaven’s reward; Your Majesty, if we remain inactive, we may just watch as others divide the spoils..."
"I second this."
"I too concur."
Many ministers expressed agreement, wishing to mobilize towards the Eastern Desolate Continent.
Ghost Valley Master slowly said, however, "To destroy Daoism is not so simple, not to mention where the Dao Lord currently is; the Heaven-Barking Dog’s possession of the Treasure Lotus Lamp to descend into the Demon Realm reveals that True Monarch Erlang remains in the world."
"Plus, with three Quasi-Saints guarding the Immortal Court, to attack rashly would likely yield no results, not to mention brewing enmity with Daoism, a truly unwise move."
"In my opinion, Your Majesty’s restraint is a strategy of using inaction to adapt to all changes."
Though Ghost Valley Master’s body was hunched, his words were firm and decisive, quieting the ministers within the Black Celestial Palace.
Appropriately, the Ancestral Dragon solemnly said, "No further discussion is needed; let’s observe the unfolding events."
"Currently, the urgent matter is to command Bai Qi to prepare to act upon the Northern Domain!"
What?
These words caused the ministers in the Celestial Palace to show a look of gravity.
...
...
The Heavenly Dao’s Great Calamity quickly swept across the Five Great Immortal Realms.
All major forces, upon learning that the Daoism led by the Eastern Desolate Continent was facing the calamity felt relieved yet also showed delight.
"The timing of this calamity is perfect; the development of that Daoist Court is indeed too rapid and needs to be contained!"
"Especially that Dao Lord, becoming the ’First Under Saints’ in just a few years, is simply terrifying!"
"If he doesn’t perish, the world won’t find peace!"
The terrifying tales of Lin Heng in the Demon Realm have left all formidable beings worldwide in awe.
Even contenders for the Underworld seats felt immense threat.
Now seeing the calamity fall upon Daoism, naturally, everyone finds it amusing with schadenfreude.
And on this particular day.
Many secluded Quasi-Saints’ Dao Fields were visited by individuals from the Buddha Country.
The purpose of these people from the Buddha Country was clear.
Universal Dao Campaign!
To share Heaven’s Fortune!
...
...
"It truly is the Heavenly Dao’s Great Calamity; it seems it aims to annihilate Daoism?"
In the world of the Treasure Lotus Lamp, Lin Heng furrowed his brows tightly.
Yang Jian had already confirmed that a new round of the Great Calamity had arrived.
And this time, the one facing calamity is the entire Daoism!
"Upon the Primordial Celestial Venerable’s fall, the calamity descends."
"It seems the Heavenly Dao had long intended to bring calamity upon Daoism."
The Heaven-Barking Dog mused.
The fall of the Yuqing, Nuwa’s sainthood, the arrival of the Great Calamity.
Such earth-shattering events one after the other, even it felt the severity of the situation.
"I fear the outlook for the other two Patriarchs is also grim," Lin Heng said, his tone laden with worry.
"Rather than worrying about those two, you should be more concerned about your Daoist Court right now," Yang Jian advised, his gaze profound.
Lin Heng nodded; he understood Yang Jian’s meaning clearly.
As expected.
Various forces are likely already taking action at this moment.
"I will return immediately." Lin Heng said solemnly.
