Chapter 1085 - 460: Uniting Against the Qin Court?
Chapter 1085: Chapter 460: Uniting Against the Qin Court?
Xuandu nodded slightly and did not say much.
After all, such matters are naturally decided by one’s own master.
Others may not know what his master has done for this land, but Xuandu knows clearly.
If it weren’t for his master’s presence, perhaps this realm would have long ceased to exist.
Heavenly Dao!
But it’s not truly impartial and just!
"Master."
"Now that I have left the Chaos Sea, leaving only an avatar there to guard against the Three Thousand Worlds and the Outer Realm Demons."
"Isn’t it still too dangerous?"
"After all, if the disciple were to return to the Chaos Sea, it would take some time, and there might be delays." Xuandu said worriedly again.
"The matter of the Chaos Sea need not be urgent for now."
"Though you have left, they are unaware."
"Let’s wait and proceed as it is for now."
"Once the Westward Journey Tribulation is settled, you may return to guard it." The Supreme said slowly.
Xuandu immediately nodded: "Disciple understands."
...
Outside the Palace of the Polestar!
Buddha Light radiated magnificently.
"The Buddha has personally arrived."
"It seems there are important matters at hand."
Inside the palace.
Turquoise Pool stood up, calmly observing the arrival of Duo Bao Tathagata.
"Amitabha."
"Now the child of the great tribulation has been born."
"Our Buddhist Sect has already selected two Scripture Seekers, does the Heavenly Court have their candidates selected?"
Duo Bao Tathagata sat on the Lotus Platform and entered the palace.
With hands folded, he performed a Buddhist salutation.
Upon hearing this!
Turquoise Pool slightly bowed in return, for the Buddha’s status before her is not lower than the Heavenly Empress of the Heavenly Court.
Then.
Turquoise Pool spoke unhurriedly: "This matter has been carefully discussed by myself with Heaven and Earth. The Scripture Seekers chosen by the Heavenly Court are one directly under my Turquoise Pool’s General Juanlian, and the other is a Crown Prince from the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan."
Duo Bao Tathagata heard and secretly pondered this, but showed no expression.
Choosing General Juanlian allows the Heavenly Court to infuse its Qi Fortune into this Scripture Seeking endeavor.
Choosing the Dragon Clan’s Crown Prince is obviously an attempt to woo the Dragon Clan, providing them with a bit of Qi Fortune endorsement.
However.
What can be given to the Dragon Clan is only a tiny bit, nothing more.
Though said to be a blessing, in fact, the Heavenly Court simply lacks suitable candidates.
Nonetheless.
This does not hinder the plans of the Buddhist Sect. After a moment of thought, Duo Bao Tathagata nodded and said: "Since the Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother have decided! The chosen ones must indeed be excellent choices, this Scripture Seeking tribulation will certainly be successful."
Receiving Duo Bao Tathagata’s approval.
Turquoise Pool nodded satisfactorily.
Then she changed the subject and asked, as if casually: "I heard that Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad has also selected a Scripture Seeker; do you know which Immortal it is?"
Duo Bao Tathagata appeared calm, and slowly said: "The specific candidate is unknown, but it seems to be Lao Zi’s disciple’s grandchild."
"Lao Zi’s disciple’s grandchild, Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy of the Heavenly River, is it."
Turquoise Pool heard this, heart startled, yet remained composed.
Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, who guards the Heavenly River, commands significant forces, although not comparable to those strong in Daluo, due to the existence of Doushuai Temple, many matters do not need stirring, therefore no one in the Heavenly Court dares offend.
However.
Since this person is chosen.
Lord Lao Zi’s move surely has deeper intentions.
Turquoise Pool steadied herself, and asked: "Lao Zi’s disciple’s grandchild is indeed our Heavenly Court’s Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy who guards the Heavenly River, quite capable, indeed a suitable choice."
"But if Tianpeng seeks the scripture, how does Lao Zi plan to arrange the three hundred thousand strong navy of the Heavenly River?"
Clearly.
Turquoise Pool asking this.
The Heavenly River is naturally not directly under the command of Heavenly Emperor Haotian.
But is affiliated with other Great Emperors.
Duo Bao Tathagata saw this, chuckled lightly, and said calmly: "Regarding the matters of the Heavenly River, it is naturally part of the Heavenly Court’s business, Lao Zi must have long had plans, and did not discuss them with me."
"However, although Marshal Tianpeng resides in the Heavenly Court, being chosen by Lao Zi for the scripture seeking quest is a rare opportunity for him."
Duo Bao Tathagata’s response was naturally flawless.
"Now that the Scripture Seekers have been chosen, the great tribulation is due to begin." Turquoise Pool said solemnly.
"Indeed."
Duo Bao Tathagata nodded.
Then slowly said: "There is one more matter I must discuss with you, the child of the great tribulation already has their path arranged, and at the appointed time, he needs to stir according to this predetermined path of the tribulation, may even cause commotion in the Heavenly Court."
"Only thus can he grow, and only this way can the great tribulation remain under control."
"Of course, this matter also requires the Queen Mother’s consent, as only then can the child’s nature be tempered, so he may fulfill his scripture-seeking duties in the future."
Upon hearing this, Turquoise Pool’s face instantly darkened, her heart silently furious.
The Buddhist Sect even wants that monkey to cause trouble in the Heavenly Court; the prior incidents have already damaged the dignity of the Heavenly Court, especially when facing Qin, it has greatly injured the Heavenly Court’s majesty, if the Stone Monkey is allowed to run amok again, where would Heavenly Court’s dignity be?
Without thinking, Turquoise Pool was about to refuse.
Duo Bao Tathagata seemed to anticipate Turquoise Pool’s reaction, calmly said: "Daoist, no need to rush, this great tribulation is determined by heaven and earth, everything is destined."
"If the child of the great tribulation doesn’t undergo such honing, he might not even qualify for scripture seeking."
"Moreover, the more one participates in the great tribulation, the more merit and Qi Fortune can be gained in the future."
"Daoist might consider that the Heavenly Court is to share twenty percent of the merit and Qi Fortune in this scripture seeking endeavor."
"This twenty percent of merit and Qi Fortune is no minor sum." Duo Bao Tathagata was in no hurry.
Upon hearing the words "merit and Qi Fortune," the rejection Turquoise Pool was about to utter was swallowed back down.
Her mind pictured the heavily injured Haotian; with merit and Qi Fortune to assist, perhaps Haotian’s injuries could finally be healed, otherwise his foundation would never recover.
