Chapter 398 The Monkey King was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain (×), and the Monkey King carried the Five Finger Mountain away (√).
It was not only the brothers of the Great Sage Ping Zhang who went to heaven.
And there are the brothers of Emperor Changsheng.
When the seven great saints took off into the sky.
The Human Emperor was also introducing masters to his brothers.
"This is the True Lord Lingyingyousheng."
Lingying Yousheng Zhenjun, also known as Zhenwu Marshal.
Zhenwu took the initiative to salute the generals of Xian Qin.
The generals returned the greetings one after another, looking excited.
Among the four marshals in the north, Marshal Zhenwu is ranked last, but he is the most famous.
Those who know the matter know that Zhenwu is the strongest among the Four Northern Marshals, but it is very common that the strongest person is not valued.
Now Zhenwu is on their side, which seems more reasonable.
Zhenwu took the initiative to speak: "Everyone, please enter the Zhenwu Secret Realm for a while. I will take you to heaven. The first battle will be at Ziwei Heavenly Palace."
"Thank you, Marshal Zhenwu."
"Your Majesty is too polite. While we are taking action, the Great Emperor Changsheng has other plans. The Heavenly Palace will fall into civil strife, and our targets should not be too big. For now, there are only the Emperor Ziwei and the Emperor Gou Chen. I will cooperate with your Majesty, and work together from inside and outside to destroy the Ziwei Palace."
"Without further delay, let's go."
The Human Emperor also received Ji Changsheng's notification at this time.
The long-peaceful heaven is about to usher in an epic war.
…
Let me explain this on two sides.
It is said that Yang Jian failed to defeat the Great Sage Ping Zhang, and when all the Seven Great Sages jumped out, Yang Jian ran away instantly.
Yang Jian would not be afraid of any one of the Seven Great Sages. He could hold his own against two of them. If all seven of them attacked him, he would be a fool not to run away.
Of course, the Demon King Jiao did not go to heaven in the name of a rebel. He was a real star god canonized by the Heavenly Court.
So he is fully capable of leading the brothers.
In response, Yang Jian wanted to intercept it.
Then he was intercepted by Li Tianwang.
"True Lord, the Jiao Demon King is the confidant of the Great Emperor Changsheng, and one of the Nine Star Lords newly appointed by the Heavenly Court. In terms of the duties of the Heavenly Court, he is higher than you and me. You cannot commit treason."
Yang Jian: “…”
Looking at this group of gods who were clearly working without putting in any effort, he felt deeply sad for his uncle.
Before, when there was no god available in heaven, Haotian had to endure.
Later, all the gods in heaven returned to their positions, but Haotian still had no god to use, so he had to continue to endure.
When will this end?
"Are we going to allow these seven demon kings to attack the Heavenly Palace?" Yang Jian asked in a deep voice.
The leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Heavenly King of Growth, Mo Liqing, advised: "Your Majesty, do not worry. There are so many experts in the Heavenly Court that even the powerful Daluo cannot get away with it, let alone seven demon kings. Your Majesty can suppress these evildoers with a flick of your hand."
That's the truth.
Yang Jian is also very confident in his uncle's strength.
However, Yang Jian was also very familiar with the ninjutsu that his uncle practiced.
If my uncle can avoid taking action, he probably won't do so.
If my uncle doesn't help, it will be difficult for my aunt to help either.
Not to mention Laojun.
As for those other hidden masters, it depends on my uncle's opinion.
If my uncle doesn't want to expose the power of Heaven, he might really have to ask Tathagata for help.
Can the Great Sage of Balance even calculate this?
Yang Jian seemed to be thinking about something.
There must be a great story behind this monkey.
But he didn't care about that.
What he really cared about was the saint's finger.
"Chance."
"The chance of a saint."
"Everything must give way to the Great Luo Daotu."
Offending Buddha Tathagata was certainly not the consequence he wanted.
But compared with being promoted to Daluo, he, the nephew of the Emperor of Heaven and the first of the third generation of disciples of the Chan sect, is willing to bear such consequences.
…
While Yang Jian was lost in thought, the Seven Great Sages had already reached the Heavenly Palace.
If Daluo doesn't take action, the Seven Great Sages are basically the top configuration below Daluo.
He was almost invincible and fought directly into the Tongming Palace and outside the Lingxiao Palace.
At the same time, earth-shaking shouts of killing were heard from Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gou Chen.
Only the Shenxiao Yuqing Palace of the Great Emperor of the South Pole was closed to visitors and was extremely quiet.
Lingxiao Palace is Haotian's territory. Although Haotian practices the way of ninjutsu, his divine power and reputation as a powerful Daluo warrior are unparalleled. Among the seven great saints, except for the Great Saint Pingzhang, the other six are afraid of him.
So they only fought as far as Tongming Palace, and the Great Sage Peng Demon King said, "Seventh brother, Lingxiao Palace is left to you, and we brothers will go play somewhere else."
This is just treating the Great Sage of Balance as a monkey.
Fortunately, in Ji Changsheng's mind, these guys are also fools.
Ji Changsheng asked casually: "Third brother, where do you want to go?"
The eyes of the Great Saint Lion King who moved mountains flickered: "Let's go visit the Divine Sky Jade Purity Palace. If we want to cause chaos, let's make everyone cause chaos."
"Yes, now that we are here, let's go visit the Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole."
"Seventh brother, let's spread out. If there is any danger, I will definitely come to your aid in time."
Ji Changsheng and the Jiao Demon King looked at each other.
He didn't expect that these guys would dare to take the initiative to deliver the monster head.
The Jiao Demon King transmitted his voice: "My dear brother, they may have hidden a back-up plan, and I'm afraid they want to harm you."
Ji Changsheng thought so too.
These guys might bring the demons in the Daluo realm to the sky.
Or maybe they had already discussed it with Ziwei and Gouchen before.
But none of this matters.
Ji Changsheng sent a message to Yu Linglong.
Then he said to his brothers, "Okay, I'll listen to you brothers. We'll say goodbye for now. Brothers, please take care."
Tushita Palace.
Yu Linglong supported Taishang Laojun and walked towards the Shenxiao Yuqing Palace.
"Ancestor, Changsheng said he has made some new improvements to the Heavenly Tribulation, and he would like you to comment on it."
At this time, the Heavenly Palace was in chaos. Taishang Laojun knew what Ji Changsheng was thinking without even counting on his fingers. He was speechless and said, "I think he wants me to protect his house."
Yu Linglong advised: "Grandmaster, you think too badly of Changsheng. Maybe he wants to help you become famous."
Taishang Laojun became more speechless: "Linglong, you are not even blushing now when you say this."
Yu Linglong's pretty face quickly turned red.
It is true that I still haven’t reached the level of cultivation.
"Forget it, it's better to go there and find you some sparring partners."
Amidst the chaos, Taishang Laojun saw at a glance several demon kings who were preparing to go to Shenxiao Yuqing Palace.
Yu Linglong is still far from the Daluo realm and lacks combat experience in the Zhenjun realm. It is just right for her to practice with them.
The Taiqing lineage teaches its disciples with emphasis on elite education and one-on-one training by famous teachers.
Even if Ji Changsheng didn't look for an opportunity, Master Xuandu would have to find a few powerful men at the peak of the True Lord realm to serve as sparring partners for Yu Linglong.
"Hey, there is another hidden demon clan Daluo."
“Looks familiar.”
"It seems to be an old fellow who survived from the ancient demon race."
Taishang Laojun was rarely surprised.
"Linglong, Ji Changsheng really caught a lot of hidden monsters this time."
Yu Linglong felt the chaos in the Heavenly Palace and was also a little surprised: "Will it not end?"
"Won't."
Taishang Laojun remained calm and composed: "If Haotian were still here, the entire battle could be resolved in half an hour."
Yu Linglong was shocked.
Haotian’s strength is indeed unfathomable.
"If the hidden power of the Heavenly Court is put into action, it can quickly suppress the chaos. Now the parties are not moving, it is all intentional by Ji Changsheng. He has a big plan for this. It's a pity that his cultivation talent is a little lacking, otherwise he would be qualified to be my disciple."
Yu Linglong blinked: "Grandmaster, is Changsheng's cultivation talent bad?"
She feels okay.
Taishang Laojun was very disgusted and said: "You can't even learn such a simple skill as the One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones. This kind of talent does not meet the standards of our human sect to accept disciples."
Yu Linglong: “…”
"But he is much better than Chunyang. Linglong, tell your teacher that your talent will be the minimum standard for accepting disciples in the future. Don't accept just any Tom, Dick or Harry. This will ruin the reputation of our sect."
Saint Taiqing had no say in accepting Taoist Chunyang as his disciple from the beginning to the end. It was the great magician Xuandu who did it.
Half of the reasons were due to cooperating with Hou Tu, making friends with the Holy Mother Yuanjun Queen Mother, and planning for the new Human Emperor.
There were too many other factors to consider, and the requirement for the standards for accepting disciples was placed last.
So much so that Saint Taiqing was greatly disappointed when he met Taoist Chunyang for the first time.
Later, Taoist Chunyang fell into the hands of Li Changxi, which made Saint Taiqing unable to complain.
The People's Religion has never accepted such a lame disciple.
It's such a disgrace to a saint.
Yu Linglong defended Master Xuandu, "Grandmaster, Master accepted Junior Brother Chunyang as his disciple after considering all factors. After all, Junior Brother Chunyang has two Daluo relatives behind him, as well as the face of Queen Hou Tu and the Emperor of Man. These are four Daluo-level masters."
Taishang Laojun said calmly: "When we accept disciples, we don't need to consider these things. Xuandu has put the cart before the horse."
What could Yu Linglong say? She could only bow down in admiration.
"The ancestor is mighty."
It is said that Yuanshi Tianwang has high standards.
Among the Three Pure Ones, the one with the most discerning vision is the eldest, the Saint Taiqing.
In the heavens and the myriad worlds, dragons and snakes rose up. So far, the only disciple who could catch his eye was the great master Xuandu.
Hongjun has more disciples than him.
Yu Linglong supported Saint Taiqing as they passed through the Tongming Palace, and they did not encounter any blind gods or demon kings along the way.
At this time, Yu Linglong happened to see Ji Changsheng being blocked by a priest outside the Lingxiao Palace. She stared at him for a second and was very surprised: "This priest is so brave that he can even block Changsheng?"
"I can't stop it. Ji Changsheng is holding back."
Taishang Laojun's eyesight is far superior to Yu Linglong's.
As expected, Ji Changsheng and Wang Lingguan fought and the result was a draw.
After a while, the thirty-six thunder generals cooperated with Wang Lingguan to besiege Ji Changsheng, but there was still no winner.
It was obvious that Ji Changsheng had held back just now.
Taishang Laojun looked at Wang Lingguan again.
But I didn't delve into it, I was just a little curious.
With Ji's temper, he actually held back on a spiritual officer. This spiritual officer must have something special.
Taishang Laojun guessed correctly.
Wang Lingguan has something special.
As soon as he met Ji Changsheng and received three iron rods from Ji Changsheng, Wang Lingguan realized that he was no match for the Great Sage Pingzhang.
Then, Wang Lingguan's voice came to Ji Changsheng's ears: "Great Sage, I am General Zhenwu's confidant. General Zhenwu told me that you are one of his own."
Ji Changsheng: "...Aren't you Haotian's confidant?"
Wang Lingguan explained, "I was born into the human race and have always served under General Zhenwu. Later, I was recommended by General Zhenwu and was valued by Lord Haotian. The Heavenly Palace is rotten to the core, and Lord Haotian cannot escape the blame. Great Sage, I am not a slave of Lord Haotian, but a spiritual official of the human race."
Ji Changsheng: “…”
Xiaohao, I really feel sorry for you.
It is normal for the gods under your command to have problems.
It’s no problem. I’m afraid each of them has a history and it’s unlikely that they are your people.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Great Sage, General Zhenwu wants to be crowned emperor. I am his confidant. Please give me some face so that I can help Emperor Zhenwu gain a foothold."
What can Ji Changsheng say? Zhenwu's face must be given.
After becoming one of the Four Imperial Gods, Zhenwu's vote will be crucial.
Moreover, Wang Lingguan really managed to stay clean even in the mud.
So Ji Changsheng gave Wang Lingguan the opportunity to become famous.
In such a vast heaven, even famous war gods like Nezha and Yang Jian could not stop the Great Sage Ping Zhang. However, outside the Lingxiao Palace, the invincible Great Sage Ping Zhang was actually stopped by a mere Wang Lingguan.
After this battle, Wang Lingguan became famous in heaven.
When the gods surrounded the Great Sage Pingzhang and started fighting with him, the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace had naturally been alarmed long ago.
He quickly dispatched troops to support the king.
"Please ask Emperor Ziwei to take action."
"Your Majesty, the Star Lord's Ziwei Palace is under siege by the Xian Qin army. The Ziwei Emperor is unable to break through. I request your Majesty's support."
"Please ask Emperor Gou Chen to take action."
"Emperor Gou Chen is also trapped in Ziwei Heavenly Palace."
"Where is the Changsheng Emperor?"
"The four demon kings among the seven great saints are all besieging the Divine Sky Jade Purity Palace, and the Changsheng Emperor is unable to take action."
"What should I do?"
"Your Majesty, please go to the West to ask the Buddha to subdue the demon."
"Go and invite the Buddha from the West."
The Jade Emperor accepted the advice immediately and sent an angel to Lingshan to convey his order.
Buddhism is nominally an affiliated institution of the Heavenly Court. In theory, Tathagata cannot refuse the will of the Jade Emperor, otherwise he would be suspected of treason.
Although all the Vajra Bodhisattvas and Buddhas at Lingshan advised Tathagata to be patient and wait and see.
"Buddha, the Jade Emperor is so powerful, why do you need to help him subdue the demon? I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter."
"Laojun's Tushita Palace was robbed before, maybe the Great Sage Pingzhang has the support of Laojun behind him."
"The Jade Emperor dare not offend the demon king. Should we at Lingshan offend him? Please think twice, Buddha."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the internal strife in Heaven this time is very serious.
Haotian's strength is well known to everyone. Although he seldom takes action, no one doubts that as long as Haotian takes action, he can suppress the chaos.
But Haotian just didn't take any action. Even though he was embarrassed to all the heavens and worlds, he still chose to ask Tathagata for help.
Fortunately, this incident happened to Haotian, so it can be explained.
Buddha Tathagata accepted Haotian's behavior and said, "Great Heavenly Venerable cultivates the Way of Forbearance, so it is not surprising that he behaves this way. You do not need to worry."
He knew why Haotian was so patient.
No one knows the origin of the Great Sage of Settlement, but Zhunti had found him before and said in person that the Great Sage of Settlement was Ji Changsheng.
Haotian did not believe what Taibai Xingjun said, but Buddha Tathagata believed what Zhunti Saint said.
Moreover, Buddha Tathagata did not know that Haotian did not believe what Taibai Xingjun said. He just thought that Haotian did not want to be a direct enemy of Ji Changsheng.
This is consistent with Haotian's usual style.
Therefore, the Buddha did not doubt the sincerity of the Jade Emperor in asking him to take action.
What's more, he had already made a private agreement with Haotian, and the two sides joined forces.
This time, Ji Changsheng took the initiative to attack Haotian, and Haotian asked him to rescue him, obviously letting him be the pioneer and fulfill the promise of cooperation.
This is an opportunity to formally and openly join forces with Haotian.
Ji Changsheng's threat is like a thorn in his side, and the embarrassment at the Peach Banquet is still vivid in his mind. Tathagata needs to make friends with Haotian and fight against Ji Changsheng together.
So He didn't want to say no.
As for being an enemy of Ji Changsheng...
This matter is stressful for others and for Haotian, but for Tathagata, there is no pressure at all.
Even if this incident had not happened, the conflict between him and Ji Changsheng could not be resolved.
Besides, he is just an incarnation of the Great Sage Pingzhang. Without the protection of the saint, Ji Changsheng is no match for him.
So the Tathagata Buddha made a quick decision: "You all sit firmly in the Dharma Hall and do not disturb the Zen throne. I will go and subdue the demons to save you."
A moment later, the Buddha left the Lingshan Leiyin Temple and went straight to the outside of the Lingxiao Palace, where he saw thirty-six thunder generals besieging the Great Sage Pingzhang, but they were still unable to defeat him.
The Buddha was still very cautious. He took a steady hand and observed for a minute.
Then I felt completely relieved.
This Great Sage Ping Zhang does have some Taoist attainments. It would be an exaggeration to say that he is at the level of Zhenjun and on par with Daluo, but he has indeed reached the level of Half-Step Daluo.
But compared to Him, it is still several levels behind, so there is no need to worry.
So Tathagata said loudly: "All the generals of the Thunder Department stop fighting and call the Great Sage out."
When the Buddha spoke, the generals naturally retreated.
Ji Changsheng also took back the Fa Tian Xiang Di and revealed his true form as a monkey.
"What do you think, bald donkey?"
Ji Changsheng was as rude as ever.
The Tathagata Buddha did not get angry, but smiled and asked: "I am the Venerable Sakyamuni from the Western Paradise. I heard that you are a rampant countryman and have repeatedly rebelled against the Heavenly Palace. I don't know where you were born, when you attained enlightenment, and why you are so violent?"
He really wanted to know what kind of origin Ji Changsheng had made up for himself.
What was the purpose of this rampage in Heaven?
Ji Changsheng met His expectations: "I was born as an immortal spirit, an old ape in the Flower and Fruit Mountain. The Water Curtain Cave is my home, I worship my friends and seek a teacher to understand the mystery. I have practiced many methods of immortality, and learned many changes. I feel that the mortal world is too small, so I set my mind on living in Yaotian. The Lingxiao Palace is not for him to stay for long, and it has been passed down by the kings of all generations. The strong should be respected, and only heroes dare to compete for the first place."
Tathagata heard this and sneered, "How can you, a beast who was a human in your first life, say such big words? You are not worthy of being a human! You are not worthy of being a human! Convert as soon as possible and stop talking nonsense! I am afraid you will be killed and die in an instant. What a pity for your true appearance!"
This scolding washed away all the humiliation he had suffered at the Peach Banquet.
The Buddha just felt refreshed.
In the first life, he was a beast that was used by humans.
Not worthy of being a son of man.
It's a pity for your true appearance.
There is something else behind these words.
Buddha Tathagata believed that Ji Changsheng could understand His words.
He was deliberately trying to provoke Ji Changsheng.
As He wished, Ji Changsheng was angered by Him.
"Who do you think you are? You are not worthy of teaching me a lesson."
The Buddha Tathagata chuckled. He felt very sorry that Ji Changsheng did not make a bet with him at the Peach Banquet.
This time I found the opportunity again.
Even if Ji Changsheng cannot be suppressed, his incarnation must be suppressed first.
Let Ji Changsheng know that He cannot be insulted lightly.
All the gods and Buddhas in the heavens were paying attention at this time. He believed that Ji Changsheng would not be able to step down unless he agreed at this time.
So He spoke again: "I will make a bet with you: If you have the ability to somersault out of my right palm, you will win, and you will no longer have to fight. I will ask the Jade Emperor to live in the Lingshan Mountain in the west and give you the Heavenly Palace. If you cannot fight out of my right palm, I will suppress you for 500 years, so that you can reflect on your mistakes and stop causing trouble in the world. Do you dare to accept it?"
Ji Changsheng hesitated for a moment.
As if he sensed the gazes from all around, he finally said proudly: "Can you do what the Jade Emperor wants?"
The Tathagata Buddha looked towards the Lingxiao Palace.
The voice of the Jade Emperor came from the palace: "Done! Done!"
"Okay, then I will agree. Bald donkey, you can make your move now."
Ji Changsheng agreed readily.
Tathagata was not slow in taking action either.
He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers were as big as a mountain, and with a wave of the Buddha's magical power, he enveloped Ji Changsheng.
Afterwards, Tathagata Buddha flipped his palm and pushed Pingzhang Monkey King out of the West Heaven Gate in full view of everyone. Then his five fingers transformed into five mountains of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which were called "Five Elements Mountains", and pressed Pingzhang Monkey King under the mountain in the human world.
When the gods and Buddhas saw this miraculous power, they clasped their hands and praised him, saying, "Well done! Well done! He was born as a human being from an egg, and was determined to practice the true way. He lived in a wonderful place for a thousand calamities, but suddenly something changed and his spirit was scattered. He deceived the heavens and wanted a high position, and he stole the elixir from the saints and disrupted the moral order. He has committed many evil deeds and now he is being punished. I don't know when he will be able to turn things around."
The Tathagata Buddha puts his hands together in greeting, and his heart is also filled with Buddha's heart.
He used the supernatural powers taught by the Bodhisattva Cundi to suppress the disciples of the Bodhisattva Cundi.
The cycle of cause and effect and retribution are inevitable, nothing is more true than this.
The Buddha Tathagata glanced in the direction of the Shenxiao Yuqing Palace and thought to himself that this was just interest.
At the Peach Banquet, Ji Changsheng brought humiliation to him, and some of it was paid back.
The Tathagata Buddha suppressed the Great Sage Ping Zhang with one move, and naturally won applause from the whole audience.
The Jade Emperor came out in person to express his gratitude.
The Tathagata Buddha did not dare to take credit for himself, nor did he see through the saint's cover-up. He only explained to the Jade Emperor: "That evil monkey rebelled and was destined to suffer this disaster. But the heavens are merciful, so I will suppress this evil monkey for 500 years. After 500 years, please let the great heavenly master deal with it again."
Ji Changsheng is still alive, so killing the Great Sage Pingzhang is useless. Besides, he also knows that Ji Changsheng has a big plan, and he dare not destroy it for the time being.
"Buddha has worked hard, I am just curious about one thing."
"Can you give me some advice, Great Lord?"
The Jade Emperor pointed to the lower world.
"How come the Five Elements Mountain transformed by the Buddha moved on its own?"
Buddha Tathagata looked down at the lower world, and suddenly his expression changed: "Oh no, little thief stole my holy fate, how dare you?"
Tathagata wanted to take action immediately.
Then, a familiar and annoying voice was heard: "Buddha, please stay."
The Great Emperor of Immortality is late.
"Where does the Buddha want to go? This road is blocked."
Ji Changsheng showed his shining white teeth to Buddha Tathagata.
Tathagata's face was extremely gloomy.
Got cheated.
Zhunti, actually had a backup plan.
…
The lower world, inside the Five Elements Mountain.
The Great Sage Pingzhang, the Demon King Jiao, Yang Jian, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Zhenwu each guarded one side.
The Great Sage Ping Zhang smiled and said, "Everyone, we have limited time. Once we start to refine the five fingers of the saint, Tathagata will definitely feel it. Although there are arrangements outside, I don't know how long they can stop Tathagata. Therefore, we must race against time. With the accumulation of Taoism of the four of you, the opportunity to be promoted to Daluo is right in front of you, so I won't say more. Now, get to work!"
The Dragon Demon King, Yang Jian, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Zhenwu all bowed their heads in thanks, and then immediately began to refine.
The aura of Daluo is rising slowly within the Five Finger Mountain.
A 6000-word chapter has been delivered. Brothers, I will update it today. It’s the routine fitness time on the weekend afternoon. For sustainable development, we must keep fit. I will update it tomorrow (this chapter is finished)
