Chapter 481

Because Ksitigarbha doing this meant he did not treat Sun Wukong or Mount Huaguo as outsiders.

After all, one would only be this casual with their own people.

Therefore, in Sun Wukong’s view, Ksitigarbha being able to do this meant he completely regarded him and Mount Huaguo as his own.

Precisely because of this reason, for Sun Wukong, Ksitigarbha coming to Mount Huaguo as he pleased made him very happy.

At this moment, the reason Ksitigarbha came was to confirm whether Sun Wukong and his group knew about the mission situation.

Naturally, Sun Wukong and his group of four, who lived on Mount Huaguo, had immediately browsed the message after Wu Feng released it in the chat group.

After all, no matter what, let alone Sun Wukong and his group of four, even Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not refuse a method to obtain a large number of exchange points.

Now, Ksitigarbha was indeed as Wu Feng had thought: as a Quasi-Saint, situated in this Journey to the West Great Calamity that had undergone earth-shattering changes, mixed with a series of events like the Heavenly Court’s Eastward Journey and the Lich Clan’s revival,

the attraction of this Liaozhai world mission to Ksitigarbha was no longer that great.

Because for Ksitigarbha, a Liaozhai world with a low strength level was far less attractive than the Journey to the West Great Calamity, which held the opportunity to attain the Dao and become a Saint.

However, if it were another world, such as Norse mythology, Ksitigarbha would ponder it carefully in his heart.

If it were an existence far exceeding the world of Norse mythology, Ksitigarbha could completely do it without thinking, directly giving up on the Westward Journey and snatching the mission quota for that world in the chat group.

But for the Liaozhai world mission, one glance was enough for Ksitigarbha to see clearly that the gains would definitely not be too great.

The reason was nothing more than the fact that Wu Feng had already stated clearly that the Liaozhai world had low strength; let alone Quasi-Saint level powerhouses, there were not even Da Luo Golden Immortal level powerhouses.

So compared to the upcoming Journey to the West Great Calamity, which had the opportunity to attain the Dao and become a Saint, Ksitigarbha had made a choice.

If it weren't for the fact that a rare special mission had appeared in the Liaozhai world,

Ksitigarbha wouldn't even want to look at this barren world where even Da Luo Golden Immortals couldn't be born.

Let alone at this point in time, compared to the upcoming Journey to the West Great Calamity, Ksitigarbha was even less willing to get involved.

After all, once trapped in the Liaozhai world for too long, it would inevitably lead to missing the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

So, comparing the two, Ksitigarbha intended to give up on this Liaozhai world mission.

However, although Ksitigarbha gave up, he was also very curious about this mission; after all, this was a world where a special mission had appeared.

Although one could watch the live stream of those entering the Liaozhai world in the chat group,

this live stream would not show everything in detail, especially since it would switch back and forth between the perspectives of the three people doing the mission.

And this would lead to a state of only having a half-understanding of the Liaozhai world.

If it were other worlds, Ksitigarbha and other cultivators in the Primordial World could completely ignore it.

After all, how those worlds were didn't have much to do with them, and they were just spectators.

But now it wouldn't do, because in this Liaozhai world, a special mission had actually appeared.

It was precisely this special mission that made Quasi-Saints, including Ksitigarbha, and even Saints like Tongtian, very interested.

Therefore, Ksitigarbha did not intend to let go of the details of the Liaozhai world.

Naturally, in this situation, since Ksitigarbha could not go personally, he had to rely on Sun Wukong and his group, who had the need to go on the mission.

Ksitigarbha intended to learn about the Liaozhai world and the special mission within it through Sun Wukong.

Although Sun Wukong and his group of four did not yet know Ksitigarbha’s purpose,

they did not stop talking and all said, "For this mission, we believe that with Senior Ksitigarbha taking action, there will definitely be a place for you!"

Ksitigarbha heard this and just shook his head slightly.

Then he said, "For this mission, I have other important matters to deal with, so I will not participate."

Participating in the Journey to the West Great Calamity did not mean only participating when it started; on the contrary, at this moment when the Journey to the West Great Calamity was about to begin,

many cultivators in the Primordial World had already begun to lay out their plans in secret.

Not to mention others, just the two Saints of the Western Sect, Jieyin and Zhunti, had begun to lay out their plans even before Sun Wukong was born, and as for the others, it went without saying.

It was just that before, everyone did not think much of the Journey to the West Great Calamity, so Quasi-Saints, Saints, and the like, except for the Western Sect, had not laid out any backup plans in this Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Coupled with the suddenly appeared Grocery Shop opened by Wu Feng, which even possessed treasures of the Great Dao level, the powerful cultivators in the Primordial World did not take the Journey to the West Great Calamity seriously.

After all, the previous Journey to the West Great Calamity, although called a Great Calamity, compared to the Great Calamities of the past where even Saints had the risk of falling,

the Journey to the West Great Calamity probably couldn't even threaten the life of a Da Luo Golden Immortal, or even a Taiyi Golden Immortal with innate magic treasures.

But with the Heavenly Court starting the Eastward Journey and the Lich Clan about to revive, many powerful figures in the Primordial World turned their eyes back to the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Because with the start of these two events, it meant that the threat of the Journey to the West Great Calamity had suddenly increased, and correspondingly, the opportunities within the Journey to the West Great Calamity would also increase.

As the ancients said, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

However, the Heavenly Court’s Eastward Journey plan and the revival of the Lich Clan basically appeared at the tail end of the start of the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

And this led to the fact that if the powerful figures in the Primordial World wanted to obtain huge gains from the Journey to the West Great Calamity, they had to lay out enough backup plans before the Journey to the West Great Calamity started.

Not to mention anything else, just in the last Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity, Saint Nüwa sent the Spirit Pearl to descend to the mortal world and reincarnate as Nezha.

The Jie Sect disciple Wen Zhong went to the Shang Dynasty to serve as an official, even reaching the position of Grand Preceptor.

All these were planned before the Great Calamity occurred.

So, this time, with the Journey to the West Great Calamity about to start and time already running short, many Primordial powerful figures, including Ksitigarbha,

were racing against time to lay out their backup plans, all for the sake of competing for the opportunities within the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Powerful figures who had not attained the Dao and become Saints now wanted to obtain the opportunities of the Journey to the West Great Calamity in the hope of attaining the Dao and becoming Saints.

Saints who had already attained the Dao and become Saints now also wanted to use the opportunities in the Journey to the West Great Calamity in the hope of further breaking through their own cultivation bases.
