Chapter 621 - 620: Tathagata Suppresses the Celestial Court, Southern Domain Competes for Seats [Second Update]
The most critical thing is, they have only just entered the Quasi-Saint realm, how can they compete with other powerful beings in the world?
"Don’t you understand yet?"
"They are not striving to become Saints, but for Taixu Celestial Venerable."
The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts saw through the mystery and said, "The Venerable Lord is lost somewhere in the chaotic flow of time and space, almost in a state of dissipating Dao. Trying to break free on his own is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
"Those sisters want to prove their Dao and become Saints, only then can they master the Power of Space-Time, go upstream in time, find the Celestial Venerable, and bring him back."
A word awakened the dreamer.
The words of the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts left everyone stunned, followed by a wave of emotion.
The relationship between the White Snake Sisters and the former Daoist Lord was delicate.
This was common knowledge.
And the one most heartbroken over the Daoist Lord’s mishap was none other than the Black Bear Spirit and the White Snake Sisters.
"All these years, they have been diligently cultivating, it seems they were preparing for the Saint opportunity."
"But just thirty years, even if they focused on secluded cultivation, they have only stabilized the lowest level of the Quasi-Saint realm. To break through those old monsters is nothing but a pipe dream..." Shen Gongbao shook his head and sighed, thinking the sisters were too naïve.
"No matter what, they are the closest people to the Celestial Venerable. Now that the Venerable is not here, we must protect them at all costs."
Sun Wukong said, "I will go help them!"
Unexpectedly, just as these words fell.
In the Eastern Immortal Realm, beyond the sky, a brilliant golden light shone down.
The gods of the Celestial Palace changed their expressions dramatically.
The creatures of the Eastern Domain raised their heads in panic.
"It’s the Tathagata, it’s the Saint Tathagata..."
Countless people exclaimed, trembling uncontrollably.
Tathagata Buddha.
This is a title that dominates an era!
Even though he hasn’t shown his might in the world for three hundred thousand years, the power he demonstrated during the Journey to the West era remains unforgettable.
As a fellow Saint.
In a century, Venerable Emperor Chong’en, who repeatedly attacked the Celestial Court, had a terrifying oppressive power.
But for the beings of the Celestial Court, the most feared is always that centennial term!
"It’s finally here..."
Feeling the aura above the sky, Yang Jian took a deep breath.
Then, the fortune of the Celestial Court was bestowed upon him rapidly, like rivers converging into the sea.
Surrounded by a Celestial Dragon, with Immortal Light cascading around him, his presence soared to the peak, facing the Tathagata Buddha from afar.
"First of the third generation, Erlang God Yang Jian..."
Tathagata Buddha hovered above the heavens, overlooking the Celestial Court, with a faint smile in his voice and eyes filled with appreciation for Yang Jian.
"If only you were part of my Buddhist Sect."
Yang Jian’s face was like an iceberg, silent.
Tathagata Buddha glanced into the deep sky and sighed, "There is not much time left."
He said to Yang Jian, "You have one more chance, either join my Buddhist Sect, or die and disappear."
Boom!
The Immortal Slaying Sword slashed towards the heavens, Yang Jian made everything clear with his actions.
Tathagata Buddha seeing this, no longer persuaded, and pushed out a palm, causing the Celestial Realm to collapse heavily.
...
"Has the great battle begun?"
At the same time, in the Central Domain Great Qin, Northern Demon Race, Demon Realm Wutian, and some other hidden places at the borders, all eyes were cast toward the Eastern Immortal Realm.
When they saw Tathagata Buddha finally appeared.
The expressions of all the powerful beings of the present age became extremely grave.
"This is the Daoism’s true tribulation..."
"Yang Jian, likely to face doom."
Many people whispered, most of them had lived through the Journey to the West and even earlier eras, fully aware of what kind of Saint Tathagata Buddha was!
It’s no exaggeration to say.
Even across all generations of Saints, Tathagata Buddha’s combat power ranks among the top.
Thirty years ago, Venerable Emperor Chong’en repeatedly tested the Celestial Court.
The oppressive feeling brought to the world’s powerful beings.
Is far from comparable to Tathagata Buddha!
Tathagata Buddha truly proved his Dao by breaking through in the blood and chaos.
While Venerable Emperor Chong’en, though he experienced a fierce competition for a seat.
But everyone who witnessed it understands how much his Saint Tribulation was worth.
So.
In the hearts of strong beings in all directions, Venerable Emperor Chong’en seemed more like a pseudo-saint forcefully propped up.
Boom!
As many focused on the Eastern Domain.
In the Southern Immortal Realm, the original Jambudvipa Continent area, which had long been transformed into nothingness, erupted into a chaotic and terrifying great war.
For one reason only.
The Celestial Dao Gate descended there!
"Strange, over the past century, many Quasi-Saints have fallen, but why has the number of contenders for the third Mortal World seat increased instead of decreased?"
Many strong beings looked toward the battlefield of Saint-ship, noticing this phenomenon.
"Indeed, some old faces are gone, like the Confucian School’s Mencius who participated in the first two, but many new faces have emerged."
"Look over there, those are three Quasi-Saints of the Dragon Race, they come from Great Qin."
"And over there, such immense demon aura, it’s Ying Zhao, Shang Yang, and Fei Dan among the Ten Great Saints of the Demon Race!"
"Hmm? Those two women over there, what’s their story? Never heard of these two Quasi-Saints in the world before?"
"They are from the Daoist Celestial Court, I’ve seen them, ascended from the same world as Taixu Celestial Venerable, they are close, and they also have some relation to Nuwa. In the early days of the Daoist Celestial Court, when Taixu Celestial Venerable was still weak, it was the Demon Realm’s Demon Venerable Chong Lou who captured these two women, didn’t expect they also became Quasi-Saints."
"My goodness, more and more people, this competition for seats will probably be much fiercer than the previous two!"
The Celestial Dao Gate descended upon the Southern Domain, and in just a moment, more than twenty Quasi-Saints converged from all directions.
Such a magnificent momentum astonished the strong beings of all parties.
It should be known that the previous two times, only a dozen competed...
And this time, right at the start, there were over twenty Quasi-Saints, and surely more will come later.
This phenomenon is indeed somewhat unexpected.
"However, among the competitors this time, some don’t seem too powerful, could it be fringe Quasi-Saints also coveting a seat?"
"It’s normal, the last round saw Venerable Emperor Chong’en become a Saint so easily, now everyone thinks the Saint Tribulation is no longer difficult, so as long as one can step onto the Celestial Dao Gate, it basically equals success in proving Dao, naturally, those people want to take a gamble."
"What you say makes me want to try as well..."
"Sure, as long as you’re not afraid of death."
"Forget it, still a bit scared..."
This competition for seats was so lively that, as many anticipated, gathered a full thirty Quasi-Saints before and after.
With so many competing, the chaos in the Southern Domain was evident.
"Tathagata presses the Celestial Court, the Southern Domain contends for seats."
"Why does it feel like the world has been in chaos for the past century?"
"In such a grand era, it’s a pity that we cannot strike against the Nine Heavens, delve into the Yellow Springs, to leave a name in ancient history, alas..."
"That said, if that Taixu Celestial Venerable were still around, today would probably be even more lively."
The two-front war, raging intensely, made many involuntarily think of that person from the past.
However, no one knew.
In the river of time, at that moment, Lin Heng had already stepped into the waves, returning to this era.
