After meeting the Queen Mother of the West, the two remaining ancient saints, Shiva and Vishnu, formally questioned the Queen Mother of the West about the whereabouts of Lord Brahma. He said that if they did not give them an explanation, they would not be able to suppress the people below, and it was very likely that it would trigger a war between the Buddhist League and the Heavenly Court!
When the Queen Mother of the West heard this, she almost died from anger. How could there be such a shameless person? It was clearly Great Brahma who had disappeared in pursuit of the East Sovereign Song Zhong. Now, the Heavenly Courts had yet to find trouble with the Buddhists, but as bandits, they had come to denounce them. How preposterous!
Of course, the Queen Mother of the West, who was already a Saint, would not take this lying down. She demanded that the Buddhists hand over Donghuang Song Zhong and severely punish Lord Brahma!
But that Buddhist mighty figure quibbled, saying that the Buddhists going to the Divine Parasol Mountain to slay the demons was a righteous act of enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens. Since Eastern Sovereign was protecting the demon, he was a devil and should be killed!
The Queen Mother of the West was really angry this time. She cursed, "I am also a demon. Go back and let those bald donkeys kill me!"
With that, the Queen Mother of the West swung her hand and slapped the Buddhist expert away. If it were not for the fact that the envoys were not to be killed during the war, the Queen Mother of the West would have slapped him to death!
The Queen Mother of the West realized that a battle was unavoidable after she sent the Buddhist Sect's almighty figure flying. She quickly informed Shura Xue and the others to prepare for battle.
After that, the Queen Mother of the West personally came to the Earth Empress Palace to see her.
After the two of them met, before the Queen Mother of the West could say anything, the Queen Mother of the Earth smiled and said, "I already know why you're here. There's no need to rush. Isn't it just war? Although there were a few more Saints in the West recently, they had only just become Saints and were not in the right place yet. Moreover, we have several supreme divine artifacts on our side. Their only supreme divine artifact was lost by Lord Brahma. No matter how we fight this battle, we still have a chance of winning! "
After hearing Empress Houtu's words, the Queen Mother of the West heaved a sigh of relief. She then said, "Even so, the Buddhist Sect is too powerful. The Heavenly Court isn't ready yet. Once the war starts, we might be at a disadvantage."
"It's fine. The Buddhists aren't prepared either!" Goddess Houtu said with a smile.
"Hmm?" When Xi Wangmu heard this, she exclaimed in shock, "Since they were not prepared, why did they start the war?"
"Because of the general trend!" The Lady of Earth explained, "According to the general trend, the more time passes, the higher the chances of the Heavenly Courts winning! This kind of Heavenly Dao general trend can only be deduced by the ancient saints. Even I can't do it. Obviously, the two old saints of Buddhism have also come to this conclusion, so they have no choice but to bring forward the battle! "
"Eh? How could this be? " The Queen Mother of the West was puzzled. "Logically speaking, the East Sovereign is being hunted down by Brahma, who has a supreme divine artifact. He should be dead for sure. At this moment, Brahma should be in hiding to refine the Bell of Chaos. Once he comes out of seclusion, the Buddhist Sect will have two super powerful supreme divine artifacts. Their chances of winning should be greatly increased, right?"
"I'm not sure about this either!" Goddess Houtu shook her head and said, "Brahma and the East Sovereign Song Zhong have disappeared too thoroughly. Even the ancient saints can't deduce any clues. Logically speaking, it was impossible for this to happen. After all, the East Sovereign is an emperor-level expert. Even if he is dead, the Dao intent that he emitted after his death should be deduced by us. "
"Could it be that he's not dead yet?" The Queen Mother of the West suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"That might be the case!" Goddess Houtu said, "That kid, in just a few thousand years, he grew from a little fellow who had just ascended to a peerless Celestial Emperor. This matter itself is incredible! It wouldn't be strange even if he really killed Brahma. After all, the supreme divine artifact, the Bell of Chaos, is in his hands! "
"If that's the case, then wouldn't we be sure of victory this time?" The Queen Mother of the West immediately said in surprise.
"I'm afraid things aren't that simple!" Goddess Houtu shook her head and said, "I reckon that this battle won't affect us saints. The Buddhist Sect will definitely agree with us that only those below the emperor-level are allowed to participate in the battle! If that's the case, the Heavenly Court will be heavily damaged. Their foundation will definitely not be comparable to the Buddhist Sect that has been recuperating in the West for millions of years. This battle is worrying! "
"Then let's make a move? Why do we have to be restrained by them? "The Queen Mother of the West asked in confusion.
"Sigh, we have our own difficulties too!" Goddess Houtu explained helplessly, "Because all the true gods will warn us before they ascend. Saint-level experts have the power to destroy the world. It's best not to fight casually. Otherwise, it will trigger a spatial chain conflict and destroy all the worlds in the East and West!"
"Ah, there's actually such a thing?" The Queen Mother of the West said in surprise.
"Indeed!" Goddess Houtu said, "I've heard the true gods' prophecies before, and so have the other saints. Therefore, there's a tacit understanding between us saints. We won't fight easily. Even if we fight, it's only a small fight to bully the younger generation. However, there had never been a battle between the ancient saints. If the Buddhist Sect uses this to force us, we can only choose to compromise! "
"Are we going to let the Heavenly Court fall just like that?" The Queen Mother of the West frowned.
"The Heavenly Court might not fall. At the very least, they will lose most of their territory. In short, at the final juncture, even if we have to go against our promise, we will step forward to protect our juniors!" Goddess Houtu said, "However, although the Heavenly Court's strength seems to be slightly inferior on the surface, the strange thing is that the deduction of the general trend shows that our chances of winning are higher than the Buddhist Sect. Therefore, we don't have to be anxious. Let's see how things develop later! "
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll inform my subordinates to make more preparations. It's time for those Celestial Emperors to come out of seclusion!" The Queen Mother of the West said.
"That's right. Once a full-scale war begins, the Buddhist Sect's attack will definitely be unstoppable. If those Celestial Emperors don't come out, there's no way to fight at all!" Goddess Houtu said, "However, such a huge war won't erupt so quickly. After all, there's still the demon race. Therefore, we still have time to prepare. You don't have to be too anxious."
"Yes, I understand!" Queen Mother of the West then stood up and said, "I will leave now and go back to prepare!"
"Take care!" Goddess Houtu also stood up to send him off.
While the Queen Mother of the West and Goddess Houtu were discussing matters, two uninvited guests arrived at the Divine Parasol Mountain. They were Vairocana and Patriarch Blood River.
This time, the two of them did not arrogantly challenge him. Instead, they paid their respects to him and gave him enough face.
By doing so, it was clear that they were here to argue and not to fight. With their status, they would definitely not resort to trickery. If that was the case, the reputation of Buddhism would be completely tarnished.
Therefore, when the Great Elder and Heavenly Empress Golden Phoenix saw the invitation, they immediately decided to welcome him personally. At the very least, they had to be polite in order to avoid being laughed at.
In the end, First Elder and Heavenly Empress Golden Phoenix brought Nine Forbidden Demoness and the others out to meet them. They were shocked on the spot.
This time, it was not Vairocana who shocked them, but Patriarch Blood River who followed him.
Vairocana still looked the same, but Patriarch Blood River's aura had completely changed. On the surface, he looked no different from an ordinary old man. However, the terrifying aura emanating from his body was not inferior to Vairocana's at all.
With the Great Elder and Heavenly Empress Golden Phoenix's old eyesight, they quickly identified his true strength. At this time, although Patriarch Blood River had not yet become a saint, he already had that kind of omen. The most important thing was that his spiritual power had become endless and incomparably pure. It was definitely comparable to a saint.
In other words, Patriarch Blood River was in a very subtle state at this time. He was not a saint, but he had the power and combat strength of a saint. As long as he had an epiphany of the Heavenly Path in battle, he would immediately become a saint.
Under normal circumstances, such a situation would not occur. This was because after reaching the peak of the Emperor Realm, one's spiritual power could not increase no matter how much they cultivated. However, Patriarch Blood River's current spiritual power was much higher than his realm. It had even reached the realm of a saint. This was too strange!
Therefore, seeing Patriarch Blood River's state, the Great Elder and the others were very shocked.
As if seeing the doubts of the Great Elder and the others, Patriarch Blood River smiled slightly and said, "There are many benefits to converting to Buddhism. Look at me now. Heavenly Empress Golden Phoenix, if you are willing to convert, you will definitely become a saint soon. This is much faster than slowly fumbling around on your own! "
"Hmph!" Heavenly Empress Golden Phoenix snorted coldly and said, "Sometimes, it is not good for you to improve too quickly. Blood River Patriarch, although I don't know how your state appeared, there is one thing that I am certain of, and that is that this is definitely a trick. Even if you become a saint, I'm afraid you will not be able to improve in the future! "
"Haha, so what?" Patriarch Blood River laughed and said, "Above the Saint Realm is the True God. The True God has already merged with the Dao. I don't want to disappear just like that. Therefore, being called a saint and having the same lifespan as heaven and earth is my highest pursuit!"
"You really don't have high aspirations!" The Great Elder said sarcastically, then suddenly said, "Mahavairocana, I originally thought that you Buddhists were merciful and should have the heart of a Bodhisattva. But now, it seems like that is not the case at all! Patriarch Blood River's state should have been achieved through the blood sacrifice of living beings, right? To raise him to this state, at least hundreds of millions of living beings will be destroyed. Several worlds will be destroyed because of this. You guys are really willing to do this! "
"Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will?" Mahavairocana put on a compassionate look and said, "In order to realize the ideals of Buddhism to deliver all living beings from suffering, sometimes sacrifices are inevitable!"
"Yes, yes!" Patriarch Blood River also put on an act and said, "I have only sacrificed ten worlds. With this strength, I can at least deliver tens or even hundreds of living beings. It is a profit no matter how you look at it!" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
