The Lingxiao Palace is covered with dome-shaped clouds and the mysterious light penetrates the universe.
The Buddha from the East stands on the nine-level golden lotus platform, his body shining with Buddha's light, his chest and belly exposed, and his eyes kind and benevolent.
"Amitabha." The Buddha from the East chanted the Buddha's name loudly and said to the Four Great Emperors and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, "I have come to the Heavenly Palace today, specifically for the matter of Daotian Tower."
The Queen Mother of the West's gaze fell on the Buddha coming from the East. As the future Buddha of Buddhism, the Buddha coming from the East's status in Buddhism is second only to Sakyamuni Buddha.
Most of the affairs in Buddhism are managed by the Buddha from the East.
This kind of relationship is like that between the Four Great Emperors and the Jade Emperor, so the fact that the Buddha came from the East and went to the Heavenly Palace in person this time can be said to be a sign of great sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Ziwei Emperor immediately said to the Buddha from the East: "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
I only heard the Buddha from the East say, "A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Court sent a decree to our Buddhist sect, stating that the Daotian Tower had disappeared into the void of the Western Paradise. After the decree arrived at Lingshan, our Buddhist sect immediately sent Vajra Indestructible Buddha and Vairocana Buddha to search the heavens and void for traces of the Daotian Tower. Finally, a few days ago, they confirmed that the Daotian Tower had indeed taken root in the void of the Western Paradise.
"I have come here to ask for permission from Heaven. Since the Daotian Tower has entered the void of the Western Paradise, it should be the responsibility of our Buddhist sect, Tianxuannu," listened to the words of the Eastern Buddha, stroking the jade ruyi in her hand, her eyes flickering. The Daotian Tower has disappeared into the void of the Western Paradise. This matter was confirmed by Heaven a hundred years ago.
So when the Queen Mother of the West reported to the Four Great Emperors, the Four Great Emperors immediately issued an edict to Buddhism.
When the Buddhist sect received the decree, they immediately reported to the Heavenly Court and said that they would conduct an immediate investigation. However, this investigation lasted for a hundred years. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Buddhist sect was procrastinating.
One hundred years later, Buddhism could no longer delay, so the Buddha from the East went to the Heavenly Court in person. On the surface, he was asking for permission, but in fact, he was asking the Heavenly Court to destroy the Daotian Tower. Just as he said, since the Daotian Tower had entered the void of the Western Paradise, this matter should be handled by Buddhism, and there was no need for the Heavenly Court to do it personally. We, the Buddhists, would destroy the Daotian Tower.
Moreover, Buddhism is also worried that the Heavenly Court will take this opportunity to directly send forces into the Western Paradise, and then the independence of Buddhism will be threatened.
The Buddha from the East was not in a hurry, but held out another one. No matter whether it was the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Venerable, or Arhat, they were all on behalf of the Jade Emperor. After the Buddha from the East held the memorial in both hands, he stood on the ninth lotus platform and said no more.
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing flew forward, took the memorial from the hands of the Buddha from the East, and then delivered it to the hands of Ziwei Emperor above the heavy snow.
After the Emperor Ziwei unfolded the memorial and read it, he passed it to the Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole, followed by the Emperor Gou Chen, and then the Emperor Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi.
After the Four Great Emperors finished reading the memorials one by one, they looked at each other.
Qu Feng's memorial was written sincerely, and the attitude of the Buddha from the East was respectful. In addition, the Heavenly Court had no intention of intervening in the Western Paradise. So the Four Emperors said, "Approved. Taixuan Province will issue an edict immediately. If the Daotian Tower escapes to the Western Paradise, the Buddhist sect must wipe it out immediately to rectify the Heavenly Law." Ziwei Emperor said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the Buddha from the East showed no surprise or joy, still looking like a smiling Maitreya. He then bowed his head and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk and the Buddhist sect respectfully follow the command of the Four Great Emperors."
The Lady of the Nine Heavens also immediately bowed to the Emperor of Purple Star and said, "I obey your command."
Afterwards, the Buddha from the East bid farewell and left, riding on the Ninth-Rank Golden Lotus Platform back to the West.
After the Buddha from the East left, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi said, "The calamity power between heaven and earth has been reduced by nearly 80% in the past hundred years. I think the Great Celestial Venerable will soon come out of seclusion."
Emperor Gou Chen said: "It is precisely because of this that the acquired true demons are constantly making arrangements in the heavens of the calamity domain, trying to stir up the calamity force."
Emperor Nanji said: "Leave Daotian Tower to Buddhism. For now, Heaven must focus on the Calamity Realm. If we can completely pacify the Calamity Realm, then Heaven will be able to draw out a huge force. But having said that, the Calamity Realm was born from the last of the five great calamities, the 'Longhan Great Calamity'. After countless eons, Heaven has not been able to completely pacify the Calamity Realm.
The calamity realms are a major concern for the Heavenly Court. They have drawn up half of the Heavenly Court's power, making it impossible for the Heavenly Court to free up its hands. If the calamity realms can be completely pacified, it will not only be a huge merit, but also of great benefit to all living beings in the three realms and the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, Ziwei Emperor suddenly looked at Jiutian Xuannu and asked, "How is the situation with Fang Jian being attacked in Tianhe Immortal Path?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu immediately said, "Reporting to the Great Emperor Zi Wei, Fang Zhi was attacked in the Tianhe Immortal Path. This incident may be related to the Hao Lan Realm."
"Maybe?" Emperor Ziwei was a little surprised by these two words.
The Ninth Heaven Fairy said, "Yes, Fang Jian's attack did not seem to come from the past, nor from the present. I seem to have sensed a trace of the acquired true demon."
When Ziwei Emperor heard this, he immediately closed his eyes and calculated the heaven's secrets. Because the Jade Emperor was eliminating calamities, the less calamity power there was between heaven and earth, the clearer the heaven's secrets would be.
Therefore, the Emperor Ziwei only took a quick look and had a general idea of the matter.
"The Haolan Realm is divided into two, and the forces of the external demons have entered the Haolan Realm." Ziwei Emperor said lightly.
When the Celestial Masters entered the Haolan Realm to inspect and teach, many Haolan Realm creatures followed the Four Celestial Masters and left the Haolan Realm's Divine King's jurisdiction. The Four Celestial Masters were only in this realm after the Daotian Tower was born. The Outer Dao True Demons took the opportunity to invade the Haolan Realm and helped the Haolan Realm Divine King reverse the situation. Today, the combined forces of the Outer Dao True Demons and the Haolan Realm Divine King occupy the western land of the Haolan Realm, while the Four Celestial Masters' lineage occupies the eastern land of the Haolan Realm. However, the forces of the Outer Dao True Demons and the Haolan Realm Divine King have gained the upper hand, and the Four Celestial Masters' lineage has been defeated in several major battles, with countless virtuous cultivators killed and injured. If the Heavenly Court does not intervene, it will surely be destroyed within ten years. "The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman said in a serious voice.
