Chapter 1264 Chapter 547: The Great Catastrophe Is About to Begin! (Part 2)

He, naturally, had not let his grandfather and father down.

"There is one more matter." Zhao Qi seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said to Zhao Feng, "Father, that Guan Zizai from the Buddhist Sect is still within Qin Territory."

"Now, she seems to have been steeped in our Great Qin Buddhism, transformed into an Ascetic Monk, traveling through all parts of Qin, and has also done quite a lot of things of Merit Points."

At this, Zhao Feng only smiled faintly, not feeling the least bit surprised.

"Our Great Qin Buddhism is the true Buddhist Law that saves all living beings."

Zhao Feng said slowly, his tone carrying his recognition of Great Qin Buddhism: "Whereas the Buddhist Law of the Western Buddha Sect has already strayed somewhat from the proper path."

"Guan Zizai Bodhisattva has always held great compassion in her heart; she naturally can discern what is the true Buddhist Law."

Zhao Feng held Guan Zizai Bodhisattva in great esteem. Though at present her strength was quite far from his, her true heart of universal salvation made Zhao Feng deeply admire her.

Moreover!

In his previous life, Guan Zizai Bodhisattva had already aroused Zhao Feng's respect.

Perhaps this was also a kind of favorable impression formed by first impressions.

Just as the three generations of grandfather and grandsons were conversing.

"Today, Old Sun is rebelling!"

An angry, thunderous roar came from the East Sea, as loud as a great bell, rumbling forth.

"You despicable, shameless Heavenly Court, I, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, will surely slaughter my way up to the Nine Heavens and kill every last one of you contemptible Heavenly Gods!"

This voice contained boundless fury, spreading along every corner of the East Sea out into heaven and earth, as if it would shake the entire world until it trembled.

Clearly, at this moment Sun Wukong was already enraged beyond restraint, venting that wrath in this furious roar.

Moreover, his strength seemed already infinitely close to the Martial Arts Ultimate Realm; one could well imagine how rapidly his strength had increased over these past decades.

"The Great Tribulation has begun."

Hearing this shout from Sun Wukong that echoed through heaven and earth, Zhao Feng smiled with emotion, his eyes revealing the intention of having seized the opening act of the Great Tribulation.

"The plotting of the Buddhist Sect is also truly about to begin."

Ying Zheng also smiled faintly; it seemed he had long anticipated all of this.

As for Sun Wukong, although Qin had never deliberately constrained him, his every move was within Qin's grasp.

After all.

Qin had gone all out to cooperate with the script arranged by the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court, and in this process Qin had also reaped quite a few benefits.

At this moment.

At the place where Huaguo Mountain stood, Sun Wukong raised high the banner of the "Great Sage Equalling Heaven"; that banner snapped fiercely in the wind, as though proclaiming his resolve to the entire world.

Not only that, there were also the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, the Sea-covering Great Sage, and the others.

The few Demon King brothers with whom he had sworn brotherhood all gathered atop Huaguo Mountain as well.

A million demon soldiers stood in neat ranks, their momentum fierce, Demon Qi piercing the heavens, forming a terrifying barrier of Demon Qi that shot straight up toward the Nine Heavens.

From afar, the scene was incomparably magnificent and awe-inspiring; under such a might, it was as if nothing in this world could stop the footsteps of these million demon soldiers.

In the face of Sun Wukong's provocative shouts, the Heavenly Court, however, was like deathly silence, without the slightest response.

"The Heavenly Court is laughable to the extreme."

Sun Wukong waited for a long time, and seeing the Heavenly Court show no movement, the anger in his heart grew even more violent: "Brothers, let's go drink!"

After he had shouted for a good while, the Heavenly Court actually did not dispatch Heavenly Soldiers to suppress him, which left the face-loving Sun Wukong greatly disappointed.

Not long before, the Heavenly Court had held the Peach Festival, yet in the end, Sun Wukong had not been invited.

For Sun Wukong, who cared so deeply about face, this was simply an unbearable humiliation.

Rage surged straight up in his heart, and viciousness rose by his gall; he immediately charged straight into the Immortal Peach Orchard.

Looking at the orchard full of Peaches, the anger in his heart burned like a raging blaze.

So.

He held fast to Zhao Feng's words about never taking a loss.

Inside the Immortal Peach Orchard, he plucked down every last Peach.

Not only that, the fire in his heart still had not subsided; in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he uprooted every Peach tree by the roots, demolishing the place until it was utterly bare.

After that.

Like a tempest sweeping past, he headed for the Heavenly Court's Artifact Hall, Elixir Hall, and even all sorts of palaces of exotic treasures.

Wherever he went, not a single piece of armor remained; everything was looted clean by him.

In passing, he also went to the legendary Doushuai Temple.

Upon entering Doushuai Temple, Sun Wukong naturally was not polite in the least; whatever pills he saw, he took; however many there were, he took that many; however many he could eat, he ate that many, and what he could not finish, he carried away.

He practically embodied the saying "a thief never leaves empty-handed" to the utmost.

In the originally set script, Sun Wukong would steal Peaches and steal pills, but this time he went even further, like a merciless gale, sweeping Doushuai Temple completely clean, not leaving a single item behind.

And after Sun Wukong withdrew to Huaguo Mountain, in the Heavenly Court, atop the Palace of the Polestar.

At this moment, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere pervaded the great hall, as though an invisible boulder weighed upon everyone's heart.

After all, in this recent period, too many things had happened.

The Underworld had already broken free of the Heavenly Court's control; even the Ten Halls Yama had lost contact.

The True Gods of the Heavenly Court simply could not enter the Underworld; once they approached, that terrifying Rule Power would descend.

If they forcibly barged in, they would be mercilessly suppressed by the Rule Power.

And now, Sun Wukong had rebelled against the Heavenly Court once again.

Though this was originally the script of the Buddhist Sect, this time he had once more gathered demon soldiers and directly provoked the Heavenly Court, which left the gods of the Heavenly Court feeling infinitely helpless.

If Sun Wukong only occupied a tiny Huaguo Mountain, they naturally would not take it to heart.

But the East Sea of today was no longer what it once was; the East Sea had already become Qin territory.

The many Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court were unsure whether marching on Huaguo Mountain would anger Qin, and whether it would directly draw out Qin's armies.

In the face of Qin, the many gods of the Heavenly Court had suffered too many losses; their hearts were already filled with fear.

Especially since the Divine on the Investiture of the Gods would all fall; this made the Heavenly Court's gods all the more apprehensive.

Thus, when they heard the proposal to campaign against Huaguo Mountain, atop the Palace of the Polestar, all the Immortals and Gods fell silent; not a bird could be heard in the grand hall.

They did not fear Sun Wukong, nor did they fear those Demon Kings atop Huaguo Mountain.

In their eyes, these were nothing more than ant-like existences.

What they truly feared was the majesty and strength of Qin.

Once they clashed head-on with Qin, there would surely be those who fell.

Seeing the hall so deathly silent.

"What now?"

The Jade Emperor's face was incomparably gloomy as he looked coldly at the gods in the great hall, his eyes full of displeasure: "With the Demon Monkey so rampant, do none of you Immortals wish to render service for the Heavenly Court?"

"Your Majesty." An Immortal and God cautiously stepped out, a slight tremor in his voice: "According to the investigations of Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear, the Qin Court has now more or less taken control of the East Sea, and that Huaguo Mountain is also within the Earth Realm of the East Sea."

"If our Heavenly Court marshals troops to the Lower Realm, will we end up crossing swords with the Qin Court? This…truly cannot be gauged."

As soon as his words fell.

"This minister seconds the motion."

Another Immortal and God hurriedly chimed in: "This matter must be treated with the utmost caution."

"The Qin Court can even slay the Divine upon the Investiture of the Gods. Our Heavenly Court's greatest reliance has been dissolved by the Qin Court; this matter truly needs long and careful deliberation."

"This minister seconds the motion."

"In this matter, we ask Your Majesty to make the final decision."

"This affair was, after all, initiated and stirred up by the Buddhist Sect. Our Heavenly Court only needs to grudgingly cooperate."

"The rest should be handed over to the Buddhist Sect to deal with."

"In this minister's view, there is no need for our Heavenly Court to personally take action."

"..."

One Immortal and God after another, for the sake of survival and their own interests, spoke up to plead.

Seeing this scene.

In the Jade Emperor's eyes there was nothing but disappointment.

The Heavenly Court of today.

Had actually been cowed to such a degree.

A hall full of Immortals and Gods, and not a single one could share his burdens.

A hall full of Immortals and Gods, and they actually feared the Qin Court to such an extent.

"Wude Star Lord."

The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice.

Thus called, Wude Star Lord could only stand out helplessly. "Your Majesty."

"Quickly muster five hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals."

"In addition."

"Go to Guan River Mouth and summon the Erlang God to act, to seize the Demon Monkey for Us."

"We must capture the Demon Monkey and cast him into oblivion." The Jade Emperor said coldly.
