Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1012 The Mixed Bull Demon, The First Breeze

"In the Southern Heaven beyond Pantian, there are two lineages of demons," the Bull Demon King said to his brother, describing the situation in the Southern Heaven.

"The lineage is led by me, your elder brother, and we honor His Majesty the Eastern Emperor Taiyi."

"The other lineage is the one that venerates Emperor Feng."

"Although my lineage predates Di Feng's, in the struggle, my lineage is no match for Di Feng."

"That Demon Emperor Di Feng is an unparalleled powerhouse in the Southern Heaven."

"In the Southern Heaven, he can be considered the strongest person below the level of a sage, and the one closest to the level of a sage."

"Even when I obtained the Great Luo Dao Fruit in the Southern Heaven, I still had to join forces with the previous and successive Divine Emperors of the Southern Heaven to barely hold off Emperor Feng."

The Bull Demon King didn't go into much detail about the specific situation in the Southern Heaven—but just mentioning Di Feng's strength was enough to make the remaining six Great Sages feel immense pressure!
"Oh, right." Suddenly, the Bull Demon King's gaze fell on the Monkey King.

"That is one of the God Emperors of the Southern Heaven, the Primordial God Emperor. Seventh Brother, you have also dealt with her."

"Not long ago, there was a battle for the Wenchang Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace. That Wenchang Emperor was a trace left behind when the Southern Heaven's Primordial God Emperor and Pantian fought on the timeline. Chengtian pulled it out and then transformed it into the Wenchang Emperor of Pantian." The Bull Demon King spoke of the mysteries of the Great Luo level to his brother in a generous manner.

"An attack on the timeline?" The Great Sages in the cave remained silent as they listened to the Bull Demon King's account.

Just by thinking about it, they could clearly perceive just how terrifying the attacks along that timeline were.

"Take you, Seventh Brother, for example, you were born from a divine embryo."

"But as long as you haven't achieved the Great Luo, you are incredibly weak at this level of the timeline."

"If I weren't protected by a power of the same level as the Great Luo, I could easily transcend time and kill you the moment you were born, or even replace you and make you one of my incarnations."

The Bull Demon King, with an almost cruel attitude, demonstrated the terrifying power of the Great Luo.

"The Emperor Wenchang is actually a manifestation of a divine emperor from beyond the realm?"

"How dare the Jade Emperor directly bestow the title of Wenchang?" The Monkey King quickly dismissed the fearsome and terrifying aura of the Great Luo—the power protecting him was far more than just the Great Luo.
That is a power even greater than the Great Luo!
Therefore, no matter how terrible the attacks originating from the timeline were, they could not affect him.

"Wenchang was invited to participate in the Jade Emperor's game of chess." The Bull Demon King bluntly told his brothers about the secrets from the Great Luo, directly revealing the game set up by the Jade Emperor.

"Within and beyond the domain, the five great heavens."

"The Jade Emperor has set up an incomparably magnificent and vast chess game here."

"In the game of chess, those who wield the pieces are all true masters of Wufang Datian."

“He is a figure who stands at the pinnacle of the Great Luo level.”

"And Emperor Wenchang is just one of them."

"I even suspect that Di Feng also cast his own avatar into Pan Tian."

"This is one of the most complex and complex chess games since the Five Great Heavens manifested!"

"The game of chess even conceals the profound mystery of attaining sainthood!"

"Just like when a Great Luo achieves enlightenment, countless beings will be drawn to grasp the Dao opportunity and achieve Taiyi."

"When a sage achieves enlightenment, when the strongest beings closest to the sage in the Five Great Heavens activate the sage's mysteries, many Great Luos will also manifest as a result."

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother."

The Bull Demon King's expression became solemn and serious.

"If you want to achieve the greatness of Luo, this is the easiest opportunity in history!"

“Once this opportunity is missed, it will be extremely difficult to achieve the Great Luo status again,” said the Bull Demon King.

This game of chess, which encompasses the five great realms, is actually a rehearsal for the war between the five great realms, even though the game itself is only in the Pantian realm.
After such a massacre, the flames of war will surely sweep across the five directions of the world.

In the face of such war, cultivation and martial arts skills become meaningless.

So-called rules and tacit understandings can be completely broken.

—During the war, even in battles between Taiyi level beings, there is a chance that a Daluo might casually throw out their most precious treasure.

"After this great calamity, the changes in the Five Great Heavens are not changes between chess pieces and chess players."

"It's not about whether your life is in your own hands or in the hands of others."

The Bull Demon King stretched out his hand and pointed at the six brothers in front of him.

"If you can achieve the Great Luo realm during this calamity, then after the war breaks out, your lives will be in your own hands."

"If one cannot achieve the Great Luo..."

“Third brother, you may dislike Buddhism, but if war breaks out, and the Buddha in the Buddhist sect is sent to the brink of death for the greater good of his disciples, you will have no choice but to act.”

The Bull Demon King seemed afraid that his six brothers didn't fully understand the impending calamity and weren't cautious enough in their approach.

"The Jade Emperor's chess game originated from the eastward transmission of Buddhism."

"Seventh Brother, you were born to be an extremely important piece in this game."

"The changes in that game of chess can be said to depend entirely on you."

"If there is a protagonist of a calamity, then you are undoubtedly one of the protagonists of a calamity."

"And it is inevitable that we, as your brothers, will become part of this calamity—we, and the demon race, are the eye of this calamity!"

“Especially me, I entered the game through our brotherhood.”

The Bull Demon King paused here, waiting for his six brothers to process the information in his words.

"The protagonist of the calamity, perhaps?" The Monkey King lowered his head, frowning in thought.

He suddenly realized that the opportunity for him to switch from the demon race to Buddhism lay in this calamity.

"and many more……"

"No..." The Monkey King's mind suddenly stirred.

If he has already confirmed the identity of the protagonist of this murderous calamity, then wouldn't that mean...?

"Master Xuanzang!" The voice of the Monkey King echoed in the Cloud Cave.

"He was ordered by the Emperor to go to Mount Ling to seek the Dharma."

"He himself also had the intention to rectify the Buddhist community in the human world with the true Dharma of Lingshan."

"If I am the protagonist of this calamity, doesn't that mean he is at the very center of this calamity?"

"But he's just a mortal!"

The Monkey King lost his voice.

It wasn't that he looked down on mortals—it was because mortals were not only weak, but also short-lived!

No matter what, the lifespan of an ordinary person is only a hundred years or so, and in fact, the lifespan of most ordinary people is less than a hundred years.

According to the Bull Demon King, the scale of the game orchestrated by the Jade Emperor and the brutality of the carnage were unprecedented—it involved countless Great Luo Immortals, and all beings below the Great Luo level could only become expendable resources in this game! Some people could touch upon the mysteries of the Sages, while many more could take the opportunity to touch upon the game of the Great Luo Immortals!

But whether it's a Great Luo or a Sage, the game of chess they play, and the changes that occur about them, are all calculated in units of thousands or tens of thousands of years.

But now... a game of chess that's less than a century old.

Not only does it possess numerous achievements of the Great Luo level, but it also allows the strongest individuals below the level of a Saint to touch upon the mysteries of a Saint.

That would be tantamount to pouring the water of the Four Great Rivers into an ordinary river.

One can only imagine how treacherous and turbulent those waves would be.

"Would a powerful being from beyond the realm allow this game to use a mortal as the key to the game?" the Monkey King asked absentmindedly.

The existence of beings outside this realm is no secret.

They also had some understanding of the outer realms—in Pan Tian, ​​the human race was still the protagonist of heaven and earth, and changes in the human world could affect changes in heaven and earth.

But beyond this realm, the human race is truly just one part of all living beings.

Moreover, they are among the lowest of all beings.

Those powerful beings from beyond the realm also held the human race in contempt.

How could they possibly allow themselves to play a supporting role as mere mortals on this chessboard?

“Of course they will allow it.” The Bull Demon King nodded.

This is not because the powerful beings from beyond the realm are magnanimous.

Rather, it was because on that battlefield in the far north, the armies of the human race, including the kings and emperors, had inflicted heavy losses on the powerful beings from beyond the realm, leaving them with a profound impression of the mortals of Pantian.

Among the myriad secrets of Pantian, there are two that are most eye-catching.

One of them is about the secrets of the saint.

Another secret is about mortals—they are all mortals, and even individually, the mortals of Pantian are weaker than those strange and unusual human races from beyond the realm.

However, in the far north, on the battlefield where all the heavens were in chaos, the Pan Tian human race's army achieved results that made every Da Luo (Great Luo Immortal) take notice.

For those chess players who accepted the Jade Emperor's invitation to step onto the chessboard, this game was not only an opportunity for them to uncover the secrets of the sages, but also an opportunity for them to uncover the secrets of mortals.

"Can that monk really withstand such pressure?" The Monkey King couldn't help but begin to doubt.

Even the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, as a direct disciple of a sage, couldn't help but feel uneasy and find it difficult to continue playing the game described by the Bull Demon King.

He also felt immense pressure because he was the protagonist of this massacre.

But the lifespan of the Emperor was not long enough to wait for the birth of a second Master Xuanzang... Therefore, this Master Xuanzang only had one chance to go to the Western Paradise!
It's not a matter of failure or death.

It must succeed!

The mere thought of such pressure was enough to shock the Monkey King.

"Did that monk know the weight of fate he was carrying?"

He may not have known this before.

“But after Jin Chanzi appeared, he must have already known.”

The Bull Demon King's gaze fell upon the Monkey King.

“The Venerable Xuanzang is the key to this chessboard, but only the Great Luo knows that he is the key.”

"Those below the Great Luo realm are unaware of all this."

“The Taoists would want to kill him to prevent Buddhism from entering the human world and becoming the orthodox sect.”

“The Buddhist community would also want to kill him, lest he return from his pilgrimage and reform the Buddhist community.”

“Even Da Luo on this chessboard has someone who wants to kill him.”

"Because what he embodies is the order within this game of chess."

"Without him, there are no restrictions in this game of chess."

"Furthermore, the Jade Emperor's chess game was driven by his own power, and it did not have the consent or cooperation of everyone in the world."

"Among the great Luo beings in this world, there are those who want to disrupt the Jade Emperor's chess game by killing him, in order to prevent powerful beings from outside the realm from spying on the secrets of Pan Tian."

"Although they cannot directly attack Xuanzang, their disciples, their followers, and even their pawns will definitely seize any opportunity to kill Xuanzang."

"Seventh Brother, do you understand what situation you're facing now?"

The Bull Demon King's gaze fell upon the Monkey King.

In that instant, there was even a hint of mockery in the Bull Demon King's eyes.

The Monkey King was stunned.
what's the situation?
Of course, we are enemies of the whole world!

The monk Xuanzang was just an extremely weak and fragile mortal.

There are far too many ways to kill him.

According to the Bull Demon King, there were far too many people in the world who wanted him dead.

This means that when he, the Monkey King, was protecting Xuanzang on his journey to the West, he not only had to go through countless difficult choices, but also, when he encountered a situation and wanted to ask someone for help, the person he asked for help had to be selected through extremely strict methods!
Otherwise, he might have approached the matter with the intention of saving Xuanzang, but in the end, the person he invited would directly take Xuanzang's life.

Just as he was thinking this, a thought suddenly struck the Monkey King.

That was the embodiment of a hair he left by Xuanzang's side, which was moved.

At that moment, his mind immediately shifted from the Moyun Cave to the mortal world.

In this land of humanity, under the vast expanse of human compassion, the Venerable Xuanzang was still preaching the Dharma to people in that marketplace.

Just as they were talking until their throats were dry, an incredibly innocent boy presented them with a cup of coarse tea.

"Great monk, have some tea," the boy said.

"Thank you, young benefactor." Master Xuanzang accepted the tea and was about to drink it in one gulp.

At that moment, the thought of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven came to mind, and he pushed Xuanzang.

"Be careful, mage."

The teacup in Xuanzang's hand was immediately overturned, and the tea inside, affected by some unknown force, splashed directly onto the boy's face.

The boy, who was only four or five years old, was suddenly enveloped in a black aura and collapsed.

"What a wicked monk! How dare he use sorcery to harm people!" An angry voice rang out from the crowd, stirring the emotions of the people.

Among the people, the boy's relatives and fellow villagers were also driven by anger. They disregarded everything and grabbed sticks, benches, and the like, rushing forward.
