The Water and Fire Boy rushed back to the thatched hut without delay, heading straight for the two holy leaders and kneeling in worship.
Then he said, "Reporting to the two lords, that Zhen Yuanzi is really stubborn. He was unmoved by my kind words and did not show any intention of coming to apologize."
After saying this, he lowered his head, awaiting the judgment of the two religious leaders and saints.
After hearing what the Water and Fire Boy said, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not as angry as expected. Instead, he sighed softly.
"Alas! Back then, Zhen Yuanzi was quite skilled, having cultivated for hundreds of millions of years to attain enlightenment."
"Considering the difficulties he has faced in his cultivation, I was willing to spare his life, but alas, he is ungrateful and insists on courting death. In this situation, I am powerless to help him!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Le sighed deeply, saying, "As the saying goes, what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."
Those people are destined for inescapable calamity; even if we, their leaders and saints, were to intervene, we would likely be unable to save them.
The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Hu Le's words, and slowly said, "We, as Pangu, although we possess the power to create heaven and earth and the cycle of reincarnation, are powerless against someone destined to die!"
Hu Le looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was dazzling. He knew that it was noon.
He thought to himself, "It seems everything is predetermined and cannot be changed..."
“The time has come. Let’s go and send him on his way. We shouldn’t delay his auspicious day of being listed on the list.” Hu Le stood up and walked towards the reed hut.
The Master of Heaven nodded, got up, took a few quick steps, and caught up with them.
The two leaders walked down from the reed hut side by side, followed by Guan Kong and Jin Ling Shengmu and other disciples.
Before long, they arrived at the front of the battle.
The Tongtian Sect Leader then summoned the Water and Fire Boys to his side and instructed them, "Go to the other side and tell them to come to see me."
"yes."
The Water and Fire Boy agreed and quickly went to the opposite reed hut, immediately conveying Tongtian's words to all the immortals and Buddhas.
Then, without waiting for their response, he turned around and went back.
In his view, whether they went to meet the two leaders or not, they were already destined to gain nothing.
They failed to seize their only chance.
Why should he bother saying anything more to a group of dying people...
Zhen Yuanzi watched the Water and Fire Boys leave, then looked up at the heavens and noticed that the two Western religious leaders and saints had not yet arrived.
He felt increasingly uneasy and turned his gaze to Sun Wukong.
"Brother, why haven't those two leaders come down yet?"
Sun Wukong scratched his head, glanced anxiously at the sky, and then said in a deep voice, "Brother, why don't you go and offer your assistance? I will personally go to the heavens and invite the two leaders to descend to the mortal realm."
"Well... that's fine then, my good brother, go and come back quickly."
Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a long time before finally agreeing...
Sun Wukong greeted the others, got up and left the reed hut. He somersaulted into the sky and headed towards the primordial starry sky.
Suddenly someone called out from behind, "Brother Wukong, please wait!"
Sun Wukong turned around and saw a young novice monk, about ten years old, riding on auspicious clouds.
"So it's Junior Brother. What do you want to call me?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.
The young novice monk flew closer, put his hands together in a gesture of respect, and said, "Brother Wukong, the Patriarch invites you to Mount Ling."
"Ah! It's because the teacher summoned me."
Upon hearing that Amitabha Buddha had summoned him, Sun Wukong dared not delay. He immediately somersaulted and headed straight for Xiniu Hezhou.
Before long, he arrived above Mount Ling.
Then I went to the back mountain and saw Amitabha Buddha sitting by the lotus pond.
"Greetings, teacher."
Sun Wukong stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed.
Amitabha Buddha nodded slightly: "I have just compiled a sutra on crossing tribulations, and I am passing it on to you today, hoping that it will give you a sliver of hope in this tribulation."
"this……"
Sun Wukong hesitated, remembering his promise to Zhen Yuanzi, and was about to speak when he remembered something.
"You little monkey, just stay here and listen quietly, and don't let your mind wander."
Amitabha Buddha raised his hand and pointed, freezing Sun Wukong in place, and then recited a scripture for crossing tribulations.
Sun Wukong was initially somewhat distracted, but gradually he became engrossed in the contents of the scriptures, and a golden halo quickly formed behind his head.
This circle is formed from accumulated merit and virtue, possessing the power to avert disasters and misfortunes, and to eliminate karmic obstacles...
...
In the human world, outside the Golden City.
Zhen Yuanzi led a group of immortals and Buddhas down from the reed hut and then came to the front of the formation. From afar, they could see the two Pangu Saints sitting on the back of an ox, with a group of disciples standing quietly behind them.
Celestial light flowed between heaven and earth, auspicious clouds floated, and boundless auspicious energy transformed into wisps of rosy light that drifted through the universe.
Despite being on a battlefield, the scene was peaceful and serene.
A sage stands between heaven and earth, transforming malevolence into peace and harmony—this is how a sage does it…
Zhen Yuanzi led the immortals and Buddhas to the opposite side and stopped about a mile away.
Suddenly, a scroll of Xuanhuang Diagram appeared in Hu Le's hand.
He shook the scroll, and a burst of light flashed on the ground, revealing Vipassi Buddha.
He lay on the ground in a daze for a long time, then realized his predicament. He quickly got up, knelt before the two religious leaders and saints, and begged them repeatedly.
"Two leaders, spare my life! Spare my life!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head and sighed, "You are, after all, a person on the Investiture of the Gods list, how can we let you off the hook?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming knew that Vipassi Buddha was doomed. So he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Master, your disciple is willing to personally see him off and help him get on the Investiture of the Gods list."
"Excellent!"
The Master of Heaven nodded and agreed to Zhao Gongming's request.
Zhao Gongming stood up, stepped closer to Vipassi Buddha, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He spent tens of millions of years on that list of gods, where not only did his cultivation level stagnate, but he was also constantly subjected to the whims of others.
This feeling was extremely painful for him, and today he wanted to let others experience it as well.
"Ah... Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"
Vipassi Buddha saw the smile on Zhao Gongming's face and immediately realized something was wrong, so he hurriedly retreated.
Unfortunately, his primordial spirit and magical power had been sealed, and he was now just an ordinary person. How could he escape Zhao Gongming's grasp?
Zhao Gongming strode forward, kicked Vipassi Buddha to the ground, and then dragged him by the hair to a spot not far from Zhen Yuanzi and the others.
Ignoring Vipassi Buddha's cries and pleas for mercy, he took the golden whip from his back and, in full view of everyone, struck Vipassi Buddha on the top of his head with it.
He was instantly struck so hard that peach blossoms bloomed everywhere, and a true spirit flew out and went to the Investiture of the Gods.
In the past, during the Investiture of the Gods, the disciples of the Jie Sect were too soft-hearted. After capturing the disciples of the Chan Sect several times, they did not immediately kill them, allowing them to escape death. In the end, it was the disciples of the Jie Sect who died and were listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Having learned his lesson, Zhao Gongming would not be soft-hearted again today.
With a single lash of the whip, Vipassi Buddha was swiftly and cleanly eliminated.
This person, who was extremely famous in Buddhism and ranked among the top in terms of attainment among the Buddhas, was placed on the list of deities...
