Chapter 12: The Primordial World is Stirred! Demon Ancestor Luohou!

The heavens and earth lost their color, and the surrounding life forms fell one after another.

Fortunately, Ksitigarbha controlled his power, not letting his demonic energy spread.

Otherwise, the life forms on Mount Huaguo would likely have been reduced to only a few powerhouses.

Two rays of light came from afar, heading toward the direction of the grocery store and Ksitigarbha.

"Hmm, Sun Wukong?" Ksitigarbha revealed a smile.

The cause of Ksitigarbha's transformation today lay with Sun Wukong, so he did not intend to leave immediately; he still wanted to thank Sun Wukong.

As for the other person, Ksitigarbha did not care.

It was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

This Taibai Jinxing from the Heavenly Court only had the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

A Da Luo Golden Immortal, even in the Heavenly Court, was a renowned powerhouse.

That was not someone the Jade Emperor could easily mobilize.

In the past, the Investiture of the Gods brought many powerful immortals and gods to the Heavenly Court, but most of those were from the Jie Sect.

As disciples of a Saint's sect, even if Tongtian Jiaozhu could not easily intervene in the mortal world.

It was still very difficult for Haotian to command these Jie Sect disciples.

After all, one had to give the Saint some face.

It was precisely because of this.

Haotian, as the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, was sometimes very aggrieved.

This made Haotian not even want to manage the vast Heavenly Court. The current Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court was not Haotian's true self, but could only be considered one of the incarnations split off by Haotian.

In other words, it was one of the three corpses.

As a boy serving Hongjun, having lived from the era of the Wu and Demon races until now, Haotian had cultivated the method of Slaying the Three Corpses to an extremely deep realm.

Coupled with this *Journey to the West* Great Calamity, which was being watched by the two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin.

At the same time, they wanted the Heavenly Court to cooperate slightly, which made Haotian even less inclined to pay attention to the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

These things, for now, shall be set aside. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

Sun Wukong and Taibai Jinxing left the Water Curtain Cave and soon arrived not far from the grocery store, where a bald man wearing a kasaya and emanating shocking demonic energy appeared before them.

Demonic energy and a kasaya seemed somewhat incongruous under normal circumstances.

But seeing it now, Taibai Jinxing and the others felt it was exceptionally fitting.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong had met Ksitigarbha before and naturally recognized him, which made his expression somewhat ugly.

Ksitigarbha appearing here was likely his own fault.

It was likely that the other party wanted to find him and then found the grocery store.

Although Ksitigarbha's strength was no match for the Shopkeeper, this had caused some trouble, which made Sun Wukong feel somewhat ashamed.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Taibai Jinxing's expression changed drastically.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was one of the true big shots of the Buddhist sect.

It could be said that he was second only to the Buddha Tathagata; even Bodhisattvas like Guanyin and Manjushri could only be said to be on par with Ksitigarbha.

This big shot had been guarding the underworld; why had he come out now?

More importantly, there was the demonic energy that made even Taibai Jinxing tremble.

How could a Buddhist big shot have demonic energy?

Of course, at this moment, Taibai Jinxing did not even dare to breathe loudly.

This Quasi-Saint big shot could truly destroy him with a single breath.

The gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Taiyi Immortal was like the distance between heaven and earth.

"Sun Wukong." Ksitigarbha, emanating demonic energy, had a calm gaze. "If it weren't for you, I could not have truly awakened. So, to thank you..."

While speaking, Ksitigarbha pointed his finger, and a light intertwined with gold and black permeated the air, landing in Sun Wukong's hand.

"This is my power. If you encounter a crisis, it can allow you to have the power to contend with a Quasi-Saint for a short time," Ksitigarbha said.

"This..." Sun Wukong was stunned, and then he seemed to think of something. "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you entered that place..."

"Haha, Sun Wukong, as long as you understand." With a trace of laughter, Ksitigarbha slowly disappeared from before Sun Wukong and Taibai Jinxing.

"This..." Taibai Jinxing was somewhat dumbfounded.

This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hadn't even said two sentences; why had he left?

What kind of riddle were he and Sun Wukong playing?

And most importantly, had Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva become a demon?

What kind of earth-shattering news would this be?

If the Buddhist sect knew about this, it would likely fall into chaos.

After all, he was not an ordinary member of the Buddhist sect, but a Bodhisattva second only to the Buddha Tathagata.

"Sun Wukong, what exactly happened to the Bodhisattva?" Taibai Jinxing could not help but ask.

According to what Ksitigarbha said just now, the other party seemed to have some connection with Sun Wukong.

"How would I know?" Sun Wukong shrugged. "With that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's powerful strength, how could I possibly have a connection with him?"

"Oh..." Taibai Jinxing nodded blankly.

In the end, with a heart full of doubt, Taibai Jinxing took Sun Wukong and flew toward the Heavenly Court.

Deep within the Heavenly Court.

No one knew that Haotian, the true ruler of the Heavenly Court, was here in seclusion.

The events happening in the Heavenly Court today had nothing to do with Haotian.

"Hmm..." On this day, Haotian, who was immersed in seclusion, was awakened.

He felt shocking demonic energy.

"This is demonic energy." Haotian's expression changed slightly. "Has this world given birth to a powerhouse of the Demon Sect?"

Without a doubt, Haotian could feel that it was an aura not inferior to his own; that was the power of a Quasi-Saint.

People from the Demon Sect could still be seen in this world.

But such pure demonic energy had not appeared for a long time.

It was likely that only that legendary existence could compare.

"Demon Ancestor Luohou."

Lingshan, Great Lei Yinsi.

Tathagata, who was chanting scriptures, suddenly stopped, his eyes rippling with golden light.

Tathagata also sensed that demonic energy belonging to a Quasi-Saint.

"This is the power of the Demon Dao." Tathagata's expression changed slightly. "Who is it? Who exactly is it?"

The Demon Dao and the Demon Sect are different.

People of the Demon Sect do not necessarily possess the power of the Demon Dao.

At this moment, Tathagata felt a faint sense of trepidation; this matter had something to do with him.

"It's related to the Buddhist sect." Tathagata used his right hand to calculate, but in the end, he found no answer.

This made his expression gloomy.

The *Journey to the West* Great Calamity was approaching, and now an unexpected factor had appeared.

"No matter who it is, they cannot stop this Great Calamity," the Buddha light on Tathagata's body rippled. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
