Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 538 The Heavenly Court's Patience, Jinping Prefecture of Tianzhu

The Great Celestial Venerable slowly shook his head, his body still motionless as he stood in front of the Great Savior from Suffering. "Salvator from Suffering, heed my advice: let's end this here."

"Why should we stop here?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun was filled with anger. The pilgrims were too ruthless.

If he doesn't vent his anger, who in the Heavenly Court will respect him, the Great Savior of Suffering?

The Great Celestial Venerable's voice deepened slightly as he slowly said, "The pilgrims have arrived in Jade Flower City, which means that the journey to the West has reached its later stages. This is the most crucial period, and we absolutely cannot afford any mishaps. If the Celestial Venerable were to intervene, given the pilgrims' personality, they would certainly not let it go and would definitely cause a huge disturbance. If that were to affect the entire journey to the West, who could bear that responsibility?"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun gritted his teeth, feeling as if his heart was bleeding, "What about my Yuan Sheng'er?"

Haotian said expressionlessly, "It's just a mount. When it's time to discard it, it should be discarded. For the prosperity of my Heavenly Court, for the Great Dao, all of this is worthwhile."

After saying that, Haotian added, "After the journey to the west is over, I will personally find a good mount for the Heavenly Venerable."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun sighed, "Then, should I thank the Great Heavenly Venerable instead?"

In the lower realm, outside Tiger's Mouth Cave, the once majestic Nine-Headed Lion Saint, who had just emerged from the cave, now had only three heads left, his aura weak and feeble, barely able to touch a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Heavenly Lord, save me!"

Nine-Headed Lion raised his head, looking at the sky with resentment and despair in his eyes. During the time he was being beaten by Sun Wukong, he had called out to his master countless times in his heart, but his master never answered him once.

Nine-Headed Lion now vaguely understands how the Yellow Lion Spirit feels. It's truly unbearable to be used as a pawn or discarded.

"Wukong, there's no need to wait any longer, let's make our move."

Jiang Liuer waved his hand indifferently. He originally thought that the identity of the Nine-Headed Lion Saint was enough, and he was even preparing to take this opportunity to make a big fuss in heaven. But he never expected that the Heavenly Court would be so bold as to abandon a Great Luo Golden Immortal as a pawn.

Sun Wukong nodded and struck like lightning. The stunned Yellow Lion Demon seemed to sense something and hurriedly raised his head, "Elders, please spare my master's life! This little lion is willing!"

Before the Yellow Lion Demon's voice had even finished, a muffled groan rang in his ears. The remaining three heads of the Nine-Headed Lion Saint were smashed open like watermelons, and his already dwindling life force vanished in an instant.

When a sage falls, heaven and earth grieve. When a Great Luo Immortal falls, although it is not as high-ranking as a sage, blood rain still falls in a drizzling rain within a radius of 100,000 miles. A great sorrow rises in the hearts of all living beings within a radius of 100,000 miles.

The Yellow Lion Demon was completely stunned. It was only after Sun Wukong stepped forward and gently nudged him that he came back to his senses.

Terrified, he immediately crouched on the ground, trembling and covering his head with his hands. "Elders, please don't kill me!"

Jiang Liuer stepped forward, helped the trembling Yellow Lion Spirit to his feet, and laughed.

"We're not indiscriminate killers, why would we kill you?"

The yellow lion demon was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. Seeing this, Jiang Liuer didn't say anything more and took out a crystal ball from his bosom and placed it in the yellow lion demon's hand.

Then, with a shout, he quickly left with Sun Wukong and his companions.

In this Three Realms, there are good people and good demons. Jiang Liuer hopes that there will be more good demons in the Three Realms in the future. The crystal ball contains the inheritance and insights of the Nine-Spirited Ape Saint throughout his life.

Furthermore, since both Nine-Headed Lion and Yellow Lion Spirit are lions, they will definitely be of great use to Yellow Lion Spirit.

Jiang Liuer was unaware that his unintentional act would, countless millennia later, lead to the emergence of a great saint of the demon race, who would astound the entire Three Realms.

Jiang Liuer and the others returned to Yuhua City and were immediately summoned by the King of Yuhua. When the King of Yuhua learned that everyone had found their weapons,

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked the elders to teach my good-for-nothing sons a lesson, how could I have caused the elders to lose their divine weapons and create all this trouble?"

"Your Majesty is too kind. Teaching the three princes is our own free will. As for losing the divine weapon, that was an accident, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is blaming yourself, we dare not teach the princes anymore."

"I'll stop here, I'll stop here. I'll offer a toast to the elders."

After the banquet, Jiang Liuer and the others continued to instruct the three princes as usual. Having experienced the incident of discarding their weapons, the three princes worked even harder, each holding their breath and unwilling to lose to the other.

Sun Wukong and the others became even more serious in their teaching, not only imparting some authentic Qi cultivation techniques but also teaching some ingenious little spells.

And so, half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Liuer felt that the time was about right, so he bid farewell to King Yuhua and continued his journey westward.

The journey westward is gradually coming to an end, and with each tribulation overcome, the fortune gained becomes increasingly immense.

After Jiang Liuer and his group left the territory of Yuhua City, large clumps of golden auspicious clouds suddenly gathered in the sky and earth. On the golden auspicious clouds, a lot of merit was carried. The next moment, the merit fell, and nearly 60% of the merit poured into the Buddhist sect.

The remaining fourfold merit was divided in two, falling into Jiang Liuer's body and the Heavenly Court respectively.

This time, the fortune was exceptionally abundant. After entering the Buddhist sect, it caused the Buddhist sect's fortune to visibly increase slightly.

In the Great Thunderclap Temple, in the Mahavira Hall, the gloom that had lingered on the Medicine Master's face for the first time dissipated, revealing a joyful expression. "Such abundant fortune! Once the journey to the West is over, the great prosperity of our Buddhist sect will surely be just around the corner!"

Maitreya made a Buddhist chant, "The journey to the West is nearing its end. We must not allow any more problems to arise. We must ensure that the pilgrims arrive safely at the Great Thunder Temple and bring this journey to a successful conclusion."

Dipankara nodded earnestly, secretly pleased. Now, he was one of the three great Buddhas of Buddhism, holding a revered position, second only to the saints.

Once Buddhism flourishes, he, as the Buddha of Buddhism, will also reap immense benefits, far surpassing his days in the Chan Sect.

Thirty-three heavens, with carved railings and jade steps, purple aura rising, on the Lingxiao Palace, Haotian's face was as majestic as ever, but compared to before, there was a touch of coldness.

Although the Heavenly Court gained a lot of good fortune this time, it also lost a Great Luo Golden Immortal. In addition, the Heavenly Court lost face and suffered a great disgrace.

In the lower realm, after bidding farewell to King Yuhua, Jiang Liuer and his group continued their journey westward.

By this point, the journey to the west was nearing its end, and the calamities set up by various forces were becoming increasingly easier.

After traveling for another two months, Jiang Liuer and his party arrived at Jinping Prefecture.

Jinping Prefecture was an outer prefecture under the jurisdiction of India.

Although it was only a prefecture, it was a rare and prosperous place, with city walls stretching for dozens of miles and a population of several million.
