Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 291: Demon Luo Wu Tian's First Appearance
Lingshan.

The three religions gathered together at the Tathagata's temple, the Mahavairocana Tathagata Palace.

“Buddha, are you just going to hand over the leadership of Journey to the West to the Western religions?” No one could swallow this.

"It's just temporary. The journey to the west has come to this point in a mess, with many accidents. Let them clean up first. I have a feeling that the journey to the west will not go smoothly, and there will be problems later."

"Golden Cicada has awakened the memory of the Six-winged Golden Cicada, and is no longer on the same page with Lingshan. Not to mention Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, none of the five members of the Journey to the West are from Lingshan."

"If you want the journey to the west to go smoothly, you need to place one person in the team. When the saint Nuwa repaired the sky, there were three pieces of colorful stones left. One of them fell on the Flower and Fruit Mountain, absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and gave birth to Sun Wukong."

"One piece is in the hands of Nuwa Saint, and the other piece is in my hands. The five-colored stone contains the merit of mending the sky, and is an excellent material for refining weapons. The destiny lies in the true spirit of Monkey King."

As the Tathagata said this, he took out the five-colored stone.

"What Buddha means is that we should extract the true spirit of Sun Wukong and create a new Sun Wukong ourselves?" Guanyin was the first to react.

"That's right. All innate creatures have true spirits. They are born and raised by nature. The true spirit is immortal. Even if the soul and spirit die, they will not disappear. The true spirit is also their root."

"This is the Five Elements Bottle. I asked the Five Extreme Holy Beasts to refine this magic weapon. It contains the Five Elements Reversal Formation. The Five Elements can be reversed to produce the true spirit of Sun Wukong. By injecting the true spirit into the five-colored stone, we can replicate a Sun Wukong who completely obeys our orders."

"As long as we capture Sun Wukong, the journey to the west will go much more smoothly. Let's let the Western sect struggle first, and we will find an opportunity to implement it. What we need to do now is to get the five sacred beasts to join us."

Tathagata said with great foresight.

“But the Five Pole Holy Beasts only want to become saints and don’t want to help. Moreover, the Five Pole Holy Beasts are closer to the Western religion. It will be difficult for us to invite the Five Pole Holy Beasts to join.” Guanyin said.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, it was fortunate that the Five Pole Sacred Beasts did not interfere and did not help either side, otherwise they would not have been able to defeat the Western religion.

“As long as the benefits are in place, there is no such thing as closeness or not. Do you know why the Five Pole Sacred Beasts chose not to help either side? It is obvious that they are closer to the Western religion.” Tathagata shook his head.

"That's because the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa Saint stand behind us," said Guanyin.

“No, it’s because I gave the Five Elements Demon God’s remains to the Five Pole Holy Beast. The Five Pole Holy Beast’s breakthrough to the Sub-Saint stage was inseparable from the help of that remains.”

"The remains were given by Daozu. I have a bigger one in my hand that can increase their chances of becoming saints. They can't resist such a temptation. If they capture the Five Sacred Beasts, the Western Sect will no longer be able to survive."

Tathagata smiled and shook his head.

"I see."

Everyone's eyes lit up. It seemed that the Taoist also wanted them to control Lingshan. After all, they were still Taoists at heart.

"Manjusri, Samantabhadra, the two of you go and invite the five sacred beasts. I want to discuss things with them in person." Tathagata said.

"Yes." Manjusri and Samantabhadra immediately turned into streams of light and left. No one objected to this. Indeed, no one could beat Tathagata in talking.

On the other hand, the three religions gave in, but Maitreya became arrogant and never thought that Tathagata was going to steal his property.

heaven.

According to the previous plan, the next challenge will come from Heaven again. The demons will set the challenge and Heaven will solve it.

Fuxi was extremely depressed. Apart from him, the only two demon saints above the quasi-saint level in the demon clan were Shang Yang and Ying Zhao. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the demon clan was indeed in decline nowadays, badly harmed by Luohou.

According to the previous assignment, the demon clan was responsible for setting up twenty difficulties, which were impossible to complete.

"What do you think? The situation has changed. Although Monkey King has not yet reached the level of a Quasi-Saint, I'm afraid he can't be dealt with without a Quasi-Saint. We have to change what we agreed upon before." said the Jade Emperor.

"All will be arranged by the Jade Emperor." Fuxi, Xuandu and Guangchengzi agreed very readily. There was no other way, except for Jiejiao, they could not complete the established plan.

"All arrangements will be made by the Jade Emperor." Fairy Bingyan had no choice but to compromise on behalf of Jiejiao.

The Saint Tongtian imprisoned the Purple Sky Palace, and the Jade Emperor held the Purple Sky Palace Order, so Jiejiao had no right to object. "Very good, then there will be no distinction between you and me, between setting up difficulties and solving difficulties. We all belong to the Dao Sect, and we are all fighting for the Dao Sect."

"Of the merits, the Heavenly Court only needs 10%, Jiejiao has contributed more, so it gets 30%, Guiyijiao, Chanjiao and the demon race each get 20%. However, during the Journey to the West, you must obey my arrangements. Do you have any objections?"

The Jade Emperor is very insightful. If this task is completed, becoming a saint is just around the corner. The Taoist has so many merits that he can become a saint even if he tries hard.

If he fails to complete the task well, no matter how many merits he has, the Taoist Ancestor will never allow him to become a saint.

The first priority is to complete the tasks assigned by Daozu, and he doesn't even need the merits from the Journey to the West.

Being obedient is his advantage over the Six Heavenly Saints.

"All are subject to the Jade Emperor's arrangements."

The three religions and Fuxi naturally had nothing to say. Although they didn't understand what the Jade Emperor was doing and why he gave them benefits, the merits they gained would be much more than what had been agreed before.

"Very good. What ideas do you have for the next challenge to the Kingdom of Black Chicken?" said the Jade Emperor.

"Let me go, and I will make Sun Wukong run to the Heaven for help." The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit stepped forward.

"No, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? We don't know when Sun Wukong will break through to become a quasi-saint. He will be even more difficult to deal with then. It's better to keep some high-end combat power."

“There is no rule that only one person can set up a difficulty. Although my demon clan does not have many Quasi-Saints now, we have many Golden Immortals. I will send six Golden Immortals at the peak of their powers to set up the Xuantian Six Yang Formation. Even Quasi-Saints can fight.”

Fuxi stopped him.

"Well, let's do as the Demon King says."

The Jade Emperor thought about it and nodded. After all, Fuxi had led the war between wizards and demons, and he was the most experienced among them in deploying troops.

"I'll go back and make arrangements right away."

Fuxi immediately left heaven and returned to Uttarakuru.

At the same time, Lingshan.

The Styx poured the collected dark energy into the Demon Abyss, and a stream of demonic energy took the opportunity to fly out.

"Don't move, this is interesting." The God of Disaster stopped Styx from taking action.

"I actually saw a ray of destiny in this evil spirit. I think the next catastrophe will be related to the evil way. The owner of that evil spirit will be the protagonist of the catastrophe." said the Demon God of Disaster.

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, Tathagata sat cross-legged by the stream and practiced, his majestic body reflected in the clear water.

Suddenly, a demonic aura penetrated into his reflection, squirmed, and transformed into Kinnara, which was the appearance of Yang Tianyou, but extremely ferocious, with strange black lines all over his head and demonic aura lingering around him.

"Kinara."

Even with Tathagata's character, he was shocked.

"I am not Kinnara, I am the great saint of the demon clan, Mara Wu Tian. You can also call me Yang Tianyou. Today, I am connected with your destiny. The Buddha's heart will plant the devil, and the devil's heart will plant the Buddha."

"From now on, you and I will live and die together. When I truly descend upon Lingshan, I will slaughter all the Buddhas in Lingshan. This is what Lingshan owes me, hehe."

Along with the strange laughter, the evil spirit followed the shadow into Tathagata's body. Tathagata was horrified to find that he could not stop it.

The evil energy eventually penetrated into his heart, leaving a black lotus mark on his heart.
