"That Star Lord Jidu is absolutely terrifying!"

"He was undergoing tribulation while simultaneously killing the Chaos Lion... Such power is beyond description!"

All the powerful beings in the Three Realms were filled with admiration.

Not to mention Jidu Xingjun, who is already the number one person below the Saint Realm, he is not far off.

"Tsk tsk, so far, two weak saints have fallen at the hands of Lord Jidu! They are the Chaos Demon Lion and the Chaos Demon Ox!"

"These two Chaos Demon Gods are not considered weak even among the weak Primordial Chaos Realm beings."

"Yes, this further confirms how terrifying Lord Ketu is!"

"There is hope for the Primordial Chaos Realm!"

Countless immortals, Buddhas, demons, and monsters greatly admired Lord Jidu. The speed of his rise and the strength of his battles were extremely rare even in the primordial world.

It should be noted that Ketu Star Lord is not a disciple of any great sage or sect.

The only connection he might have made was the inheritance he received when he first entered the path, which was related to the Human Teachings, but it wasn't the fundamental method; it was a branch within a branch.

Later, after receiving guidance and blessings from the Holy Mother of the Intercepting Sect, he joined the Heavenly Court and became the Star Lord Ketu...

The opportunity was not bad, but the problem is, which of those who have reached the weak Hunyuan realm are not unparalleled heroes and beauties throughout history?

Qualities, comprehension, Daoist heart, luck—which of these can be lacking?

Compared to other weaker mixed-elemental beings, Ketu Star Lord is in no way inferior to, and may even be stronger than, in the first three aspects!

The only exception is the fourth item. Although there are some opportunities, upon careful consideration, it still lags behind other weaker mixed-element characters.

Leaving aside others, just consider the Bodhisattva Lingji, Daoist Hongyun, Guangchengzi, Yang Jian, and others who have just broken through to higher realms...

Guang Chengzi and Yang Jian were the second and third generation disciples of the Chan Sect, respectively. They were direct descendants of the sages, possessed the Jade Purity Mystic Method of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and had also studied the great arts of the Human Sect and the Intercepting Sect!

Although Bodhisattva Lingji was not a direct disciple of the sage, he was still a hero of the sage's lineage.

Whether it's the Theravada Buddhist Amitabha Buddha or the Mahayana Buddhist Buddha, they all highly value this Bodhisattva of Mount Sumeru.

In short, Lingji Bodhisattva received instruction from three Buddhist saints.

However, Daoist Hongyun... in any case, is a primordial saint, and he is one of the three thousand mortal guests listening to the lectures at Zixiao Palace!

Not to mention, it once possessed the Primordial Purple Qi that pointed directly to the primordial chaos!

Now, another close friend, Zhen Yuanzi, has broken through to sainthood...

In the eyes of the powerful, compared to them, Jidu Xingjun was indeed clearly inferior in terms of luck.

This is also because the heroes of the Three Realms were unaware of Cao Ya's background; he was actually a transmigrator with a system space...

Of course, even if the system space is manifested, all the characters inside are Cao Ya himself!

"The True Lord of the Pure Source Wonderful Way is basically close to success."

"Guang Chengzi, Lingji Bodhisattva, and Hongyun Daoist escaped unscathed."

"After all, they don't have many enemies blocking their way, and with the protection of powerful fellow disciples, they are enough to deter others."

“Unlike Ketu Star Lord… there are a whole bunch of Primordial Chaos beings who obstruct the path!”

The immortals and demons alike were still shaken by the difficult path Jidu Xingjun took to attain enlightenment.

One after another, saints and weak saints emerged from all directions... It was fortunate that Jidu Star Lord had many friends; otherwise, no matter how strong the person was, he would have surely died!

"Over there with the Buddha Wutian..."

Seeing that the four peak Quasi-Saints at the ninth level were about to overcome the great tribulation and advance to the new weak Hunyuan realm, the heroes focused more attention on the great calamity that would lead to sainthood!

If the Buddha Wutian were to attain enlightenment, then the future of Buddhism would be quite a show!

“Lingshan, you can sit still.”

Many important figures were anticipating the fate of Lingshan, but they all miscalculated.

The Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism remained completely unmoved and showed no intention of hindering Wutian.

This surprised many people.

"Just a little short," sighed Demon Ancestor Rahu.

If Wutian could become a saint, it would indeed be a good thing. It's just a pity that Jidu Star Lord couldn't eliminate him. Instead, Chaos Demon Lion died on the spot.

"Huff huff".

Because of Ketu Star Lord's breakthrough, the interception failed. Donghuang Taiyi, Demon Emperor Dijun, Chaos Ferocious Shark, Chaos Thousand-Tent Octopus and others looked downcast. They glanced at Cao Ya and then disappeared. It was unknown whether they returned to Beiju Luzhou or went somewhere else.

"Next time, Lord Ketu, you won't have such good luck again!"

They all knew that with Ketu Star Lord's talent, it was almost inevitable that he would complete the journey of a weak sage and trigger the Great Calamity of Chaos!

At that time, external calamities and human calamities will strike at the same time... With them already prepared, Lord Ketu will not be able to pass this test again!

It should be understood that the calamity of becoming a saint is far more severe than the tribulations of a weak saint.

"Hiss." Outside the Celestial Realm, deep within the Northern Star Sea, Cao Ya made a move, erasing the aftershocks of energy.

Having restored order to the Great Dao without affecting the survival of this star system, Cao Ya was immediately relieved.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a thunderbolt renowned throughout the three realms stretched across the universe beyond the realm of the mortal immortals.

That was the most powerful divine lightning, as if a thunder saint was launching an attack, unleashing a great divine power, terrifying beyond measure.

"Whoosh." The Buddha Wutian faced this calamity head-on without flinching.

“Kinnara Bodhisattva, Wutian Buddha…” Cao Ya sighed inwardly. In this primordial era, Wutian Buddha was no longer destined to rule the Three Realms for thirty-three years.

The Buddha is extremely powerful, and compared to other giants such as the Three Pure Ones, the Guide of the Dao, and Nuwa, he is not weaker.

He was already at the peak of the second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm... Even if he displayed the power of the third level, it wouldn't surprise anyone.

Even if the Buddha Wutian were to succeed, he would only be at the first level and would still find it difficult to overthrow Mount Ling.

Moreover, the Jade Emperor of Heaven is already at the first level, and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who supports him, is an even higher being at the third level...

People like the Moral Celestial Venerable, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and the Tongtian Sect Master would probably not agree to let the Buddha Wutian rule the Three Realms, even if it is only for thirty-three years!

Perhaps only the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the Chaos Thousand-Tentacle Octopus, the Chaos Demon Insect, and the Chaos Ferocious Shark would agree.

"Even more so, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has already broken through to sainthood before the Buddha of No Heaven!"

Cao Ya thought to himself, Sun Wukong's talent is astonishing, and the first level of the Saint Realm is definitely not the end!

"I still need to discuss this with Brother Monkey, about Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin..." Cao Ya pondered silently.

Behind those two cases, the figures of the Jade Emperor, the Taoist Taixu, and the Taoist Chixia are all subtly present.

Whether there are other important figures involved, no one can say for sure.

"Yes, Wutian Buddha has officially secured his position as 'Buddha,' becoming the fourth saint of Buddhism!"

Suddenly, Cao Ya looked up and saw that the Great Calamity of Chaos had also cleared up. The Buddha Wutian, dressed in a black robe, had an even more profound and unfathomable aura.

At the same time, the four people, Lingji Bodhisattva, Hongyun Daoren, Guangchengzi, and Yang Jian, also attained enlightenment one after another.

Including Cao Ya, all six individuals with great supernatural abilities successfully advanced to higher levels, with none failing.

"Isn't this enough to record ancient history and be passed down to future generations?"

Of course, the birth of each weak Hunyuan and true Hunyuan is a momentous event that will be recorded in history!

Cao Ya suddenly sighed: "General Zhenwu, when will you return?"

Many tens of thousands of years have passed since General Zhenwu voluntarily descended to the mortal realm to reincarnate, experience the mortal world, and seek the path of a weak sage.

"Lord Ketu, please come for a chat." The Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star extended an invitation, gathering his colleagues on his North Pole Purple Star Imperial Star to hold a celebratory banquet for Lord Ketu.

During the meal, the topic of General Zhenwu came up, and everyone expressed their feelings.

After all, that one was a top-tier expert in comprehension, not a member of the Jidu Star Lord!

To be precise, in the Northern Star Sea, the strongest masters are Jidu Star Lord and Zhenwu General. Even the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei can only be ranked third.

The rest, even if they have made progress, are at most intermediate or lower-level Quasi-Saints, far inferior to these three.

In the primordial universe, a five-star Grand Luo is qualified to be called a "Great Power".

At this level, regardless of the major power, they are the backbone and hold a high position.

As for the six-star quasi-saints, needless to say, each one is an ace!

Among the disciples of sages, most are Great Luo or Quasi-Sage.

There are very few cultivators who can reach the peak of the six-star weak saint realm.

Although the Three Realms are numerous, they are actually the accumulation of multiple eras.

It also includes various major forces, such as the human race, the demon court, the heavenly court, the underworld, Mahayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism, the Human Religion, the Chan Religion, the Jie Religion, the Demonic Sect, the Chaos Demon God, and so on.

"I'm almost at the Quasi-Saint level myself, so there's not much hope for me as a Weak Saint."

Pigsy also attended the banquet, but he was unusually downcast and sighed.

His previous life was Marshal Tianpeng, a position that had been vacant and was held by his deputy.

Today, Zhu Bajie is the Cleansing Altar Messenger of Mount Ling, a Bodhisattva, and is already a quasi-saint.

But Pigsy knows his own limitations; his comprehension is basically at the pinnacle of a quasi-saint.

Sha Wujing and the White Dragon Horse are both a little worse than him!

Only Master Tang Sanzang has the potential to become a saint!

As for the eldest brother, Sun Wukong... he has long since surpassed this level!

However, Pigsy's disappointment did not last long and soon vanished.

For him, even if he were to become a Quasi-Saint, or even a Great Luo Immortal, he would be completely satisfied.

It was just a group of former colleagues talking about spiritual practice, and it was inevitable that they were a little moved.

"Hehe, behind me, there's my senior brother and the Star Lord Jidu... This primordial world is vast, where can't we go?" Pigsy laughed.

"You're still so lazy." The Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei smiled helplessly.

"Haha, whether it's Marshal Tianpeng or the Clean Altar Messenger, they're all the same!"

The immortals and gods of the Northern Star Sea present all burst into laughter.

Cao Ya couldn't help but smile; he and Zhu Bajie had known each other for a very long time.

Several days later, the banquet finally ended.

After the meeting, upon hearing that Cao Ya was preparing to go to the Immortal Realm, the Eastern Continent, and Flower Fruit Mountain, Pigsy thought about it and decided to go with him to beg for some money from his senior brother.

"You don't know, the monkey wine from Flower Fruit Mountain... hey, that's a top-tier divine brew in the Three Realms!"

As Pigsy spoke, his mouth watered.

"And the immortal peaches from Flower Fruit Mountain..."

Although the others had been drinking celestial wine and eating celestial fruits for several days, they couldn't help but salivate again upon hearing Pigsy's words.

Huaguo Mountain is a blessed land of immortals in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Especially after Sun Wukong rose to power, it was transformed and became famous throughout the Three Realms.

Which of the monkey wine and immortal peaches produced in Huaguo Mountain wouldn't tempt the immortals and Buddhas?

The treasures among them are so precious that they would be worthy of being given as gifts even to saints.

"Lord Ketu, wait for me!" Pigsy darted through the air and caught up with Cao Ya.

"I've been to Flower Fruit Mountain too many times, drunk too much, and eaten too much. The monkeys and their offspring are almost out of food. Although my eldest brother has no intention of kicking me out, I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed."

Cao Ya raised an eyebrow. "So you're still going? It'll be at least 30,000 to 50,000 years, won't it?"

"Isn't this just hitching a ride with you, Star Lord?" Pigsy said with a smile.

"Old Pig promises, I'll eat very little!"

Pigsy patted his chest, making a solemn vow.

But Cao Ya, who knew Zhu Bajie's temperament well, shook his head helplessly.

"Splash."

The two left the outer star river and the celestial realm, and soon entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, heading straight for Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Children, bring the wine!" Sun Wukong shouted. The monkeys on the mountain were full of energy. Nourished by the immortal energy and marked in the Book of Life and Death, they were all quite powerful.

Among them, some of the most powerful have even reached the Great Luo Realm.

Having entered the blessed land of Huaguo Mountain and stepped into the Water Curtain Cave, we sat on the stone benches beside the stone table. After a few rounds of drinks, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Cao Ya started talking about serious matters.

"My idea is to turn the tables on them." Sun Wukong flicked his finger, and a flash of golden light covered the Water Curtain Cave, obscuring the secrets of heaven, fate, and cause and effect, making them impossible to detect.

Tell me in detail.

Sun Wukong explained, "Why did the Jade Emperor, along with the Taoist Taixu and the Taoist Chixia, scheme for so long, planning for eternity, and promoting the cases in Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin?"

"It's nothing more than reaping the benefits of fate in order to achieve a breakthrough."

"That kind of destiny originally belonged to Fairy Crimson Pearl, Goddess of Cold Fragrance, Heavenly Wounded Star, and Heavenly Lone Star. How could it be allowed to be taken by outsiders?"

"However, to activate a unique destiny, or even to resonate with each other, and to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to create extraordinary results... one must descend to the mortal realm and take a journey."

Cao Ya seemed to be thinking, then nodded and said:

"I understand what you mean."

"After the merits are condensed, you and I will then take action to stop the Jade Emperor and the others, allowing Fairy Crimson Pearl and the others to refine their own merits."

Cao Ya pondered for a moment and said:

"However, there's no need to wait until the very last step."

"The schemes in Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin are too tragic."

"After a proper push, we can close the net."

"Even if the effect is slightly worse, quasi-saints, or even weak saints, will definitely have some chance!"

"Moreover, one does not necessarily have to experience the tragedies of life in order to attain enlightenment."

“Cultivation after birth is also of paramount importance.”

Sun Wukong said:

"Let the Jade Emperor, the Taoist Taixu, and the Taoist Chixia end up with nothing!"

"Those people were used as pawns in a conspiracy, and then harvested in the end, their lives were taken away, their lives became bleak, and they perished, or their souls were scattered, with no chance of reincarnation..."

"Such a cruel act, I, Old Sun, will not let them succeed!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand near his ear, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) appeared, its golden light dazzling.

“The malicious schemes of three people… well, even if there were one or two more, the two of us would be enough to protect Fairy Crimson Pearl, Goddess Cold Fragrance, Heavenly Wounded Star, Heavenly Lone Star, and the others,” Cao Ya said.

In terms of combat power, both Cao Ya and Sun Wukong are top-tier among their peers!

"Should we ask Old Pig..." After listening for a while, Pigsy understood what was going on and immediately volunteered.

He and those people were old acquaintances.

However, Zhu Bajie's request to fight was rejected by Sun Wukong and Cao Ya.

The Jade Emperor, Taixu Daoist, and Chixia Daoist were all either Hunyuan or peak-level weak saints; none of them were weak.

Even the Monkey King and the Star Lord Ketu would have to be cautious in dealing with them.

If Pigsy (Zhu Bajie) were to participate... he would be in danger!
