Chapter 275: Nüwa Helpless, Revenge on Chen Ku?!

After a long silence.

Di Jun spoke again.

"Now, although we have the Heavenly Stars and Dipper Great Formation as a trump card."

"But... I fear that Hong Yun will launch revenge before our demon court fully researches the method to set up the Great Formation..."

Di Jun's words made everyone's hearts sink again.

This worry is not unfounded.

After all, things are different now.

A sage's retaliation is extremely terrifying.

If Hong Yun truly takes action, the demon court will likely have no chance or time to continue researching the Heavenly Stars and Dipper Great Formation.

As for this, Fuxi merely pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry too much about this!"

"Hong Yun's attainment of the Dao was also nourished by the collective fortune of humanity."

"In other words, he also owes a karmic debt to Sister Nüwa."

"I will inform Nüwa that, with her mediating, Hong Yun surely will not actually act."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others were overjoyed.

Good!

If Nüwa could speak up, Hong Yun would certainly have to weigh things, or rather, have some misgivings.

The karmic bonds of becoming a sage cannot be casually severed.

"This is excellent!"

"I, the Emperor, have thanked the Sovereign!"

Di Jun couldn't help laughing, responding thus.

One could say that Di Jun, Taiyi, and the Ten Great Demon Saints all felt relieved in their hearts.

It is fortunate to have Fuxi, a sage elder brother, guarding the demon court; this truly avoids countless troubles and calamities.

Upon hearing this, Fuxi wore a look of helplessness and said nothing more.

For the demon court and the demon race's lineage, he could be said to have worried himself sick.

Unlike the tension and misgivings of the demon court's populace,

at this moment, the Wu Clan was rather peaceful.

Hong Yun's attainment of the Dao drew sideways glances from Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, and others.

"Hong Yun has finally attained the Dao; the world now has one more sage."

"In the future, this world will likely become even less peaceful."

An Ancestral Witch sighed thus.

However, after just a moment, Di Jiang spoke in a low voice:

"Alright!"

"No need to pay too much attention to western affairs."

"What we urgently need now is to recreate the twelfth Ancestral Witch."

"Otherwise, once the ceasefire ends, it will be extremely disadvantageous for our Wu Clan."

Di Jiang's words also startled Zhu Rong and the others.

"Exactly!"

Currently, the Wu Clan's biggest headache is to create a new Ancestral Witch to replace the original Hou Tu.

Moreover, Hong Yun and the Wu Clan have never had any grudges.

The former's attainment of the Dao and sagehood has no impact on the Wu Clan.

After regaining their composure, they all sat upright in the Pangu Holy Hall and began researching the recreation of an Ancestral Witch.

In Kunlun Mountain!

Regarding Hong Yun's attainment of the Dao, the Three Pure Ones were likewise greatly shaken and unable to remain calm.

Even Laozi, who had previously emerged, has now hastily returned.

"Damn it!"

"That Hong Yun actually dares to borrow humanity's fortune and attain sagehood in one fell swoop!"

Laozi's face grew grim as he muttered angrily.

As the leader of the Ren Sect, he most dislikes seeing others meddle in human affairs.

Yet Hong Yun repeatedly harvested five waves of merit from humanity.

How could Laozi not be angry?!

But although he was displeased, Laozi could do nothing about it.

After all, he also knew that all this was agreed to by Chen Ku.

Moreover, the latter holds the status of "Holy Father of the Human Race," so Laozi naturally has no standing to blame or stop him.

To the side, Yuanshi was indifferent to this.

He was more concerned with another matter.

"Now that Hong Yun has attained the Dao, the Three Buddhist Saints are seated in command, and their fortune has surged!"

"If this continues, it will also be disadvantageous for us, the Orthodox and Unorthodox Three Teachings."

Yuanshi's considerations are clearly more thorough.

He has already faintly sensed that the Buddhist Sect possesses the momentum to overwhelm the Dao lineage of the Three Pure Ones.

This is what Yuanshi finds most unacceptable.

Upon hearing this, Laozi and Tongtian likewise had grim expressions, secretly nodding.

Originally, in the eyes of the Three Pure Ones, the Western Buddhist Sect, or rather the two sages Jieyin and Zhunti, were not worth mentioning at all.

Even combined, they were not as worthy of attention as Nüwa alone.

Unexpectedly, the Buddhist Sect could possess such influence and prestige.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Three Pure Ones now feel a sense of breathlessness.

Embarrassing!

It is truly too embarrassing!

After pondering for a moment, Laozi then looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian and spoke loudly:

"From now on, among us Three Pure Ones, there shall be no more grudges or internal strife."

"Only by joining forces wholeheartedly can we possibly match the power of the Buddhist Sect, even suppress it, and restore the dignity of the Three Pure Ones."

Laozi's words carried a tone of admonition.

Hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian, who constantly argued, could only silently face each other.

After a long while, they nodded, their faces solemn.

In the Palace of Nüwa in Taisu Heaven!

Nüwa wore an annoyed expression, feeling as if her head were about to burst.

The reason is simple!

This guy Lu Ya keeps chattering in Nüwa's ear without cease.

"Holy Nüwa, what this little monk said is indeed correct."

"The Western Buddhist Sect is the true orthodoxy."

"Otherwise, how could a sage have been produced today?!"

"Please, Holy Nüwa, release this little monk so he may go to study under the Western sages."

"......"

Lu Ya continued without pause, saying repeatedly:

His words also showed utmost reverence for the Buddhist Sect.

Nüwa was filled with black lines, utterly helpless.

Okay, okay, okay!

Okay, okay, okay! You brat, you don't see at all that Hongyun's sagehood largely relies on human merit.

How come, when it comes to your mouth, it becomes the Buddhist Sect's achievement?!

This guy is beyond help.

Nüwa gave Lu Ya an annoyed glance and said in a low voice:

"Studying under the Western Sect? Don't even think about it!"

"Hmph, you just stay put and guard this Nüwa Heaven properly."

"This palace will venture into the world a bit; wait until I return to talk again."

Exactly!

Nüwa decided to go into the world.

"First, Hongyun has attained the Dao; she ought to go congratulate him, which is proper etiquette for a sage."

"Second, Nüwa, driven utterly helpless by Lu Ya, simply decided to avoid seeing him to avoid annoyance."

"I can't afford to provoke you, and I can't even hide from you?!"

"Hmph, the Western Sect now has plenty of top-grade spiritual roots and immortal fruits!"

"This time, this palace will definitely get to eat that Chen Ku's heartache."

Nüwa, with a maiden's heart, thinking this way, also counts as revenge against Chen Ku.

Before her words even faded, she immediately rose, summoned a colored phoenix as her mount, and set off.

Moreover, seemingly worried that this guy Lu Ya might run off to the West himself, Nüwa also set up a spatial barrier, preventing Lu Ya from leaving the range of Taisu Heaven.

The Western Heaven and Earth, Mount Sumeru!

At this moment, within a radius of tens of millions of li, it was already a scene of bustling prosperity.

Haha, congratulations, Holy Hongyun!

Senior Hongyun's attainment of the Dao is truly a fortune for our Western Sect and for the Buddhist Sect!

Old friend Hongyun, this day has finally arrived!

One after another, laughter-filled voices rang out, deafening.

Between heaven and earth, all the great powers have already gathered.

And on this day, Jieyin and Zhunti were also extremely generous.

Various spiritual roots and immortal fruits were plucked down, fragrant and radiant, to be enjoyed by the many great powers.

The aroma of the ancient Dao-enlightening tea permeated the heart and spleen, spreading across tens of millions of li.

The yin jade dew and other fine wines were even more sweet, crisp, and mellow, intoxicating the heart and spirit.

Without a doubt.

Hongyun's attainment of sagehood made the Western celebration unprecedentedly grand and lively.

Compared to the so-called heavenly marriage of Di Jun and his consort earlier, it surpasses it without falling short.

After all, a mere heavenly marriage, how could it compare to the emergence of a sage?!

Countless great powers and titans were also amazed without end.

You should know that, to them, spiritual-root immortal fruits, supreme immortal brew, and such things as enlightenment Dao ancient tea are also extremely rare and precious.

This time, I can finally enjoy a great feast.

Outside the Great Thunder Sound Temple, Jieyin, Zhunti, Chen Ku, and others stood side by side.

Seeing the prosperous and bustling scene of the West, they couldn't help but show smiles.

"Hehe, good, good!"

"Our Buddhist sect has one gate and three sages; my disciple truly is the fortune star of the West."

Jieyin laughed and sighed, his gaze toward Chen Ku filled with admiration and relief.

Even the ancient sorrow etched between his brows dissipated somewhat.

Neither Jieyin nor Zhunti expected that Chen Ku's successive schemes would so quickly enable Hongyun to successfully prove the Dao.

Hearing Jieyin's words, Chen Ku gave a light smile and didn't say much more.

However, his mind was also abuzz with thoughts.

"It's settled, settled..."

"From now on, I can also focus on cultivating the Primordial Dao."

Hongyun's proving the Dao also brings great benefit to Chen Ku himself.

From then on, the West became impregnable and supremely prosperous.

No matter how many years pass, Chen Ku can wholeheartedly pursue the pinnacle of the Primordial Dao.

Precisely for this reason, he previously did not hesitate to bestow merit upon Hongyun to help him achieve sainthood in one fell swoop.

Just as they were conversing.

In the high heavens, strains of immortal music echoed, grand and unmatched.

Immediately after, boundless holy light appeared; Nüwa descended riding the manifested primordial phoenix of her true form, her grace unparalleled, as she slowly came down.

In an instant, the heavens and earth of the West fell silent.

Countless mighty figures immediately turned their gazes, faces showing reverence.

"Saint Nüwa? It's Saint Nüwa!"

"We pay our respects to Saint Nüwa!"

"We pay our respects to Saint Nüwa!"

All beings hurriedly bowed in reverence to the saint's presence.

At the same time, they were greatly surprised and astonished.

"Saint Nüwa actually came to the West in person?!"

Although saints should observe proper etiquette among themselves,

but little did they know, the Three Pure Ones had not yet descended, nor even sent distant congratulations.

Compared to Nüwa's personal descent, it is as different as heaven and earth.

This also shows that Nüwa's relationship with the West clearly surpasses that of the Three Pure Ones.

Or rather, regarding Hongyun's sainthood, Nüwa appears quite open, while the Three Pure Ones seem to harbor deeper thoughts.

At the same time, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others likewise raised their brows.

However, they soon reacted.

Regardless, Nüwa's arrival also enhanced the prestige of the Western Buddhist sect.

Jieyin also stepped forward a few paces, smiling as he said:

"Hehe, welcome, Senior Sister Nüwa!"

"Today, Daoist friend Hongyun has attained sainthood; we all partake in this grand celebration!"

"Please, Senior Sister Nüwa, take a seat; let us share fine wine and taste immortal fruits!"

Jieyin waved his hand, instantly conjuring a saint's throne high above.

Upon it lay various top-tier immortal fruits, while the wine exuded a rich aroma.

However, Nüwa did not immediately express her stance, nor did she take a seat.

Instead, she merely gave a slight nod, considered a response to Jieyin's words.

Afterward, her gaze shifted, then turned to Chen Ku.

"Chen Ku, my junior nephew, you are indeed carefree and at ease!"

"Yet, my palace has been troubled by you to the point of constant headache, with no solution."

Nüwa complained resentfully.

Hearing this, Chen Ku's expression shifted, and he immediately felt doubtful.

"Oh? Senior Uncle Nüwa, what do you mean?!"

He asked in confusion.

Seeing Chen Ku apparently already forgot the past events, Nüwa became even more furious.

"Hmph, how dare you ask?!"

"It's all because of Lu Ya!"

"Back then, you messed him up, and now he daily chants Buddhist scriptures, shouting that he wants to become a disciple of the West."

"Even my Nüwa Heaven hardly gets a moment of peace."

Hearing Nüwa's words, Jieyin and Zhunti couldn't help but chuckle, shaking their heads in amusement.

Chen Ku also blinked in surprise.

"Alright!"

"I originally taught Lu Ya with Buddhist methods, yet the aftermath turned out to be this huge?!"

In his thoughts, Chen Ku's face nevertheless showed an innocent expression.

"How... how can this be blamed on the junior?!!"

"Truly, our Buddhist sect's wondrous Dharma is too exquisite and profound!!"

"Moreover, Lu Ya was arrogant and ferocious in the past."

"Nowadays, his temperament has improved a lot, hasn't it!!"

Chen Ku responded in this way.

Hearing this, Nüwa rolled her eyes even more, utterly helpless.

Temperament?!

Yeah, his temperament has improved a lot, but there's just an urge to suppress him.

"In short... you brat need to think of a way to solve this palace's predicament."

Nüwa didn't say more, just said this.

Hearing this, Chen Ku couldn't help but laugh.

Good fellow!

As a mighty Nüwa Saint, you've latched onto yourself?!

Nüwa, who is usually serene in temperament, rarely shows such an appearance.

Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Ku responded:

"If not, then... Nüwa Senior Uncle will just send Lu Ya over again."

"Since he is so sincere, Master Jieyin will surely accept this disciple."

Upon saying this,

Nüwa didn't even think, her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Don't even think about it!"

Really let Lu Ya become a disciple?

"Wouldn't Di Jun Taiyi explode on the spot?!"

And Chen Ku's words were obviously just a joke.

Seeing Nüwa's reaction, he gave a knowing smile, then revealed a pensive look.

After a moment, he flipped his palm, and two cultivation methods instantly appeared.

"These two methods are the Heart Sutra of the Perfection of Wisdom and the Diamond Sutra!"

"Senior Uncle, just pass it to Lu Ya; it will surely work."

Hearing this, Nüwa was half-believing, half-doubting.

But since things have come to this, there is no other way.

Nüwa had no choice but to accept it.

This matter temporarily settled, Nüwa's expression eased slightly as she sat down.

Afterward, she looked at the numerous spiritual roots and immortal fruits before her, waved her jade hand, and began to eat them voraciously without restraint.

One after another, the immortal fruits entered her mouth; Nüwa's silver teeth gritted with a crisp sound.

Watching this scene, some great powers couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

"This......"

"Well, how great is Nüwa Saint's hatred?!"

All beings thought this way, and could already see that Nüwa had indeed come with vengeful intent.
