Chapter 511 - 510: Quasi-Saints Enter the Eastern Desolate Together! [First Update]
"Of course."
Wutian smiled, then handed an ancient dossier to Lin Heng.
"Inside, there is not only a map of all the locations in the Western Heaven Buddha Country, but also records of all personnel above Arhat level, including their mounts or trusted aides."
"Of course, this dossier is tens of thousands of years old, there might be some changes now, so you need to consider carefully."
"Additionally..."
Wutian revealed a Black Lotus, handing it to Lin Heng, saying, "I’ve cast some spells on this lotus; with it, you can sense the position of the Mahayana Buddhist Sutras."
"The Buddha Country has deep foundations; I advise you not to act recklessly."
"Everything in moderation, don’t really turn the Buddha Country upside down, and definitely don’t cut the fortune of the Buddha Country."
"Otherwise, the saints will take action." This admonition from Wutian was particularly solemn.
Lin Heng nodded, casually saying, "This is my forte; I have my own discretion, as long as you don’t slip up."
"Let’s act without delay."
Without further unnecessary words, Lin Heng stepped away, disappearing into the Demon Realm.
Wutian remained, his gaze slightly peculiar.
This is his forte?
What does it mean?
Has he often done such things before?
...
...
Eastern Immortal Realm.
With the appearance of a dozen golden rainbow bridges, this Immortal Realm fell into an extreme oppressive state, like a storm brewing over mountains and buildings.
A trillion life forms felt a suffocating pressure as if Mount Tai was on their heads.
Fear arose in their hearts, and they involuntarily prostrated on the ground.
A few bold strong ones dared to peek at the sky, seeing in those rainbow bridges spanning continents, over a dozen presences with overwhelming aura encapsulating the universe!
"What kind of aura is this? Just passing by makes all beings submit; could it be that Quasi-Saints are traveling?"
"This is terrifying, over a dozen Quasi-Saints arriving in the Eastern Immortal Realm; what are they trying to do?"
"Is it possible a saint’s opportunity has arrived here?"
"Oh heavens, this Immortal Realm will be destroyed..."
The Eastern Domain quaked.
Fear, panic, and unease lingered in the hearts of local beings, accompanied by various speculations.
And at that time, the Eastern Desolate Continent Daoist Immortal Court was even more indescribable.
Upon learning the Heavenly Dao descended a massive tribulation onto the Dao Court.
Many newly surrendered immortals started to feel uneasy inside.
Among them are those who experienced the era of Journey to the West.
Deeply understanding what a tribulation would bring!
"Do we still need to stay here?"
"The once brilliant Ancient Celestial Court ended in collapse; how will this shallowly founded Daoist Court respond?"
"Perhaps it’s best to find another path; otherwise, we’ll be buried with the Dao Court, it’s not worth it!" Many began to have thoughts of retreat.
In these years, Tianpeng, Ox Demon King, Ao Bing, and others have been expanding territories.
Though more and more immortals were subjugated, most of them lacked a sense of belonging to the Dao Court.
If the Dao Court rose ever upward, it wouldn’t be an issue.
But now, the Dao Court was struck by a tribulation from the Heavenly Dao.
Naturally, this raised many inconstancies among people.
Some have already secretly fled this land of trouble.
"Shouldn’t we care?" asked the Long-armed Ape, whose injuries had mostly healed in over a month under the nurturing of Quasi-Saint power from the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Let them go." Sun Wukong looked toward the distant horizon, saying, "The great enemy is coming, the inside must not fight further; those with other ideas, leaving is a good thing."
"Grandmaster Shen, is there still no news of the Daoist Lord?" Sun Wukong asked Shen Gongbao again.
Since the tribulation descended, Shen Gongbao daily observed the stars, inferring heavenly secrets.
"No." He shook his head, his tone slightly helpless.
Sun Wukong’s eyes darkened: "Over a dozen Quasi-Saints are arriving together; what does the divination show of this battle? Is there a chance of survival in desperate circumstances?"
This is crucial.
It concerns whether the Dao Court should preserve some seeds and retreat in advance.
The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and others also looked at Shen Gongbao with worried eyes.
The enemy is too numerous.
It’s said that the Demon Ancestor is among them.
She hardly sees a chance for victory in this battle unless the Daoist Lord returns in time.
But so far, Shen Gongbao has not inferred the Daoist Lord’s whereabouts, enveloping the entire high echelon of the Dao Court in gloom.
However, as everyone looked worried, Shen Gongbao’s face turned somewhat peculiar.
"According to the divination... the divination shows that this battle poses no danger..."
"Oh... huh?" Everyone’s expression froze.
"No danger? Are you serious, Shen Gongbao?" Tianpeng queried suspiciously.
Others furrowed their brows, saying, "Over a dozen Quasi-Saints arrived together; the Daoist Lord’s whereabouts are unknown till now; the Dao Court is seemingly at a critical moment for survival; how can there be no danger?"
They stared directly at Shen Gongbao, seemingly wanting to see some concealed truth on his face.
However, Shen Gongbao was also extremely helpless.
"I used the inference skill of Human Emperor Fu Xi from the past, deriving the divination; logically, there shouldn’t be much discrepancy; I can’t understand why the divination shows no danger in this battle..." He felt bewildered, finding it absurd himself.
Tianpeng’s eyes grew cold.
"I now understand why Great Shang fell."
"The Dao Court is in precarious times; you could still deduce such a self-deceiving divination, Shen Gongbao; I truly don’t know if your skills are lacking or if there’s hidden malice."
He never felt at ease with Shen Gongbao; the more critical the time, the more Tianpeng doubted this guy would cause trouble.
"Believe it or not!" Faced with doubt, Shen Gongbao fired back with temper.
Sun Wukong timely intervened: "Don’t dwell too much on the divination; many means mess with heavenly secrets; divinations can be trusted but not completely relied upon."
"Only by giving our all in the battle will we truly understand."
As his words ended.
Sun Wukong and the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts simultaneously fixed their gazes toward the distance.
There, a horrifying pressure rolled in.
Fifteen Quasi-Saints had arrived outside the Eastern Desolate Continent!
The entire Eastern Desolate Continent was shrouded in clouds.
Star Realms dimmed.
The earth trembled.
The Quasi-Saint aura burst forth; fifteen figures were like meteors in the night, too dazzling, too terrifying.
Countless beings trembled in prostration!
Boom!
At this moment, the Fortune Array erupted, the Dao Court’s borders enveloped by immense fortune.
Forming a barrier that reached from earth to sky!
"Didn’t expect, in just a few years, the Dao Court’s fortune has become so rich." The Demon Ancestor stepped on red clouds, overlooking the Dao Court from above.
Not lacking in praise and amazement in his gaze.
"It’s indeed incredible, but with the fortune of the Dragon Race, combined with the fortune of the entire Daoism, reaching this point is actually reasonable."
From within the Dragon Carriage, Eastern Venerable Emperor Chong’en spoke.
He resides in the Overseas Immortal Mountain, so he has watched this Dao Court develop to this day; thus, he isn’t surprised.
"What a pity, the effort of the Daoist Lord is going to be in vain."
"When he returns and sees his home leveled, imagining his expression will be quite amusing." East Buddha smiled, his tone sardonic.
