Chapter 937 - 601: The Filial Prince Seeks to Acknowledge Tao as Father, Peach Blossom God's Might Overwhelms the Bodhisattva (Part 2)
"Plus that muddled Seven Slaughter King Zhang Xianzhong, nearly a million Bodhisattvas... Tsk-tsk, really quite a bloody investment."
"If in the end it turns out to be a wasted investment, and all of it benefits me instead, I'm afraid they'll hate me to the core, and a great grudge will be formed."
Tao Buddha's son spoke with utterly no apprehension, showing an authentic Secret Demon demeanor.
Not only he seemed unconcerned, but far away in Penglai Sea at the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, Tao Qian's main body was also indifferent, muttering to himself, "The one who made enemies with the Bodhisattva was a Secret Demon Child. What's it got to do with me, the Suppressing Evil Tao Master of Spirit Treasure Sect?" Then, he silently closed his eyes to cultivate Divine Skills, handling the Dao Nightmare.
Meanwhile, the Jiang Sisters began performing as instructed by the divine revelation.
As they nodded rapidly, they simultaneously raised the Peach Blossom Divine Statue high for offering and praised:
"Cousin, you must know, our family was ruined by that treacherous minister Jia Qiuchi, then further hunted by a Blood Locust Demon General under his command. This scourge belongs to the Outer Realm's Acquired God Demon Clan [locust god], very fierce."
"Just when we were in utter despair, luckily we encountered [Peach Blossom God]."
"Not only did she send a pair of immortal children to save us but also took us as believers."
"Cousin should know, our Lord is not an ordinary God, possessing omniscience, the ability to know everything, and is as enduring as heaven, eternally unscathed... descending into this realm to look for some destined people. Our Lord once said, those living beings who are destined may become her clan and attain the body of Gods and Demons."
"If Cousin wishes to achieve his grand vision, following that [Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva] won't do, only by entering our Peach Blossom God Sect will there be a Dao Path to speak of."
"Silence... Hmm?"
Zhang Shao exclaimed in panic halfway through, trying to interrupt.
Evidently worried about Jiang Caiping's unrestrained blasphemous words, which, if noticed by the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, could implicate him.
After shouting, he realized it was off.
When Jiang Caiping reached that extent, openly poaching followers, the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva showed no reaction, how could that be?
Previously, when similar scenes occurred, the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva's response was terrifying, directly showing saint and smashing the poaching Gods and Demons to smithereens.
But now, there was no movement.
"Cousin is worried that [Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva] will notice and cause trouble."
"Fear not, our Lord has provided a Spiritual Response."
"You should know, the Gods and Demons of All Heavens are countless, yet there are differences in tier among them."
"Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, this God Demon, was originally a Bodhisattva Venerable of All Heavens Buddhism, practicing proper Buddhist Law, then due to a breach in Dao Path, he took the risk to steal the Buddha Tooth, defecting from Buddhism. Though he temporarily gained advantage, it also meant the end of his Dao Path. Cousin, by following such Gods and Demons, there will be no day of prominence, and ultimately you will suffer betrayal and abandonment."
"It's still timely to abandon darkness for the light."
...
One must admit, every word Jiang Caiping uttered at this moment counted as Heart Execution Words.
Zhang Shao, being a hero, couldn't be easily fooled.
But now, he faced the "ironclad reality."
The Peach Blossom Goddess blasphemed against Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva without being punished... openly leaking the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva's secret history and dark past... had it been other Gods and Demons followers, they'd have perished into ashes by now.
Yet Jiang Caiping was well and alive.
This seemed to completely prove: that God called Peach Blossom, tiered higher than Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva.
Instantly, Zhang Shao as this filial prince already had numerous thoughts swirling in his mind.
Various possibilities were evaluated by him.
The more he thought, the more intense the ambition grew.
At this moment, Jiang Caiping offered yet another perfect excuse:
"Cousin, do you know why our Lord instructed us to wait for you specifically at Cold County?"
"Our Lord has the ability of foreknowledge, once predicted that within a hundred years, Seven Slaughter King Zhang Xianzhong will have internal conflicts and kill with his seven adopted sons, eventually perishing together, all to the advantage of Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva."
"Our Lord sees Cousin as a destined person, perhaps to take on the role of [Peach Blossom Saint], thus we are here waiting to offer Cousin an opportunity, to defy destiny and change fate."
"If Cousin does not believe, just recite a verse of the Peach Blossom fairy song, and you will receive divine revelation guidance."
With that, Jiang Caiping took out an antique book from her arms.
It was indeed the Peach Blossom Immortal Scripture, with the first page revealing a Song Rhyme containing the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.
Zhang Shao saw this, pondering: "Just reciting a verse, even if an ambush is laid, it cannot harm me. Why not try it?"
Once the thought emerged, it couldn't be suppressed.
Before long, Zhang Shao spoke.
Quite hesitantly, he recited the verse, whose true content was exceedingly cringe-worthy.
With almost no prelude, the miracle appeared instantly.
In his mind, radiant rainbows exploded.
Scenes solely belonging to the "future" surged over.
The content was precisely the future outcome Jiang Caiping leaked.
In the blink of an eye, he witnessed it, his expression completely frozen.
It was real!
That, was the future.
There was no reason or evidence, yet Zhang Shao was absolutely certain of the thought.
Simply put, those indeed were true.
Divination Worm inherently possesses such Divine Power, capable of forecasting the future absent of host intervention.
Without this wondrous ability, Duobao Daoist, a Cultivator of Perfect Ultimate Happiness, wouldn't have been able to suppress almost all peers inside the Longevity Realm and make such a terrifying name in the Outer Realm.
Realizing the future's truth, Zhang Shao instantly trembled, sweating profusely.
Even as a hero, he couldn't withstand such a fate.
A century of effort all gone to Outer Realm God Demons, how could he accept such a fate?
