Li Jing saw that Nezha was staring at him fiercely, looking like he wanted to kill him again.
In an instant, Li Jing lowered his head to touch his Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, and suddenly remembered that the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had been destroyed. He was immediately filled with anxiety.
He immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, “Your Majesty, I have urgent business to attend to. I humbly request permission to leave!”
"Go ahead!" The Jade Emperor nodded indifferently.
As Li Jing departed, Nezha stepped forward and bowed, but before he could speak, the Jade Emperor waved his hand.
Nezha understood and immediately turned and flew in the direction Li Jing had fled.
The Wind and Fire Wheels, which had been ignored by the courtiers and whose whereabouts were unknown, reappeared.
After Nezha and his father left, the Jade Emperor glanced around at the surrounding immortals and gods, signaling them all to leave, leaving only Taibai Jinxing behind.
“Your Majesty, this old minister has already asked the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and the dragons who fought against the True Martial Emperor in Beiju Luzhou were not of dragon origin.”
"This old minister suspects that he achieved his current status as a Great Luo Golden Immortal through bloodline advancement and step-by-step cultivation."
Venus recounted the results of his investigation, and the Jade Emperor's eyes lit up.
After pondering for a moment, he gestured for Venus to come closer and whispered his Jade Emperor's plan.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this old minister will depart immediately."
After bowing, Venus immediately left the Lingxiao Palace.
"."
The Western Paradise, Mount Ling.
"Amitabha! That dragon clan member who is a Great Golden Immortal in Beiju Luzhou has a karmic connection with me, Buddha!"
Duobao Rulai spoke in a very familiar manner.
This left all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looking utterly bewildered.
"Amitabha! This dragon possesses the true fire of the sun, just like the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha of our Buddhist sect. It is destined to have a connection with our Buddhist sect!"
"Venerable Guanyin, please go to the Northern Continent and invite that person to join our Buddhist sect."
Duobao Tathagata looked at Guanyin beside him and said.
"Buddha, what if the other party does not agree?" Guanyin replied softly.
“Amitabha, this is his choice, and our Buddhist sect has no right to interfere. The Venerable Guanyin only needs to recruit him.”
"He is a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Our Buddhist sect is about to flourish, so it's best to avoid trouble."
Upon hearing this, Guanyin understood the meaning of the words and, without saying anything more, immediately rode her lotus platform towards Beiju Luzhou.
Seeing this, the Tathagata of Many Treasures continued to expound the Buddhist scriptures on Mount Ling.
Chapter 247 A Peaceful Buddhist Temple, No One Settles on the Sun Star
Beiju Luzhou
The celestial gods, soldiers, and generals of the Heavenly Court retreated, but the demons of Beiju Luzhou suffered heavy losses, with very few lesser demons remaining.
The banquet for all demons at Wan Yao Mountain gradually came to an end. The various demon kings returned to their territories and were enraged to see that countless lesser demons had died tragically and their few remaining subordinates.
However, upon learning that it was an invasion by the Heavenly Court and that the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor was launching another attack, they all lost heart and hastily ended the matter.
Within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, knowing that Shen Du was one of the four great demon saints of Bai Ze, who were in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he did not personally go to invite him to join the demon race.
Actually, we are waiting for the right opportunity; this matter cannot be rushed.
Meanwhile, at the same time, on Bull Demon Mountain, shocked words rang out.
"Your Majesty, where are our underlings?!"
Ji Yue was stunned. He scanned the entire Bull Demon Mountain with his divine sense but did not see a single little demon.
Faced with Ji Yue's question, Shen Du simply replied, "They're all dead."
"They all died at the hands of the heavenly soldiers and generals. Now, you should go outside and recruit a few more demons. In this vast Bull Demon Mountain, it's really not used to having just the two of us."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yue nodded in agreement and turned to walk towards the outside.
Just as he was about to step out of the territory of Bull Demon Mountain, a cloud drifted down from the vast sky. A white-haired, youthful-faced, and otherworldly figure slowly approached Ji Yue and said, "Young friend, I am Taibai Jinxing. I have come to pay my respects to the master of this mountain. May I ask if you would be so kind as to show me the way?"
Unlike other demons, Ji Yue was not surrounded by a vast amount of karmic force, which is why Taibai Jinxing spoke to her kindly.
Emerging from the Bull Demon Mountain, they must be followers of that demon god. After all, it's not good for a Great Luo Golden Immortal to trespass on his territory.
"Are you looking for my king?"
Ji Yue's eyes revealed a look of bewilderment.
Venus, he understood.
As the head of the civil officials in the Heavenly Court, which demon hadn't heard of the great name of Venus?
"Indeed, indeed!"
Venus stroked his long, weathered beard and spoke kindly.
Although he was once a star god in charge of killing, he would avoid taking action if possible. He was a civil official, and he would leave the task of subduing demons and monsters to those warriors.
"Venus Taibai, please come with me."
Seeing that Venus was coming alone, Ji Yue guessed that he meant no harm and led him to his cave dwelling deep in the capital.
The two entered the mansion one after the other.
As the two figures gradually disappeared, Guanyin, with a kind and benevolent aura and a gentle expression, holding a jade vase and seated cross-legged on a lotus platform, followed closely behind.
After a quick calculation with his fingers, his expression changed slightly. "Amitabha."
After she finished speaking, she followed the two men into the mansion.
As Venus and Jiyue entered, Shen Du, who was sitting deep inside the mansion, frowned. "Guests have arrived."
After saying that, Ji Yue, along with Taibai Jinxing, pushed open the door to the cave room.
"Little crane, go and do your business."
Just as Ji Yue was about to speak, Shen Du spoke first.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yue immediately cupped her hands in greeting and withdrew from the cave.
At this moment, Venus and Shendu locked eyes, and the scene fell into silence. Neither of them spoke, only their eyes met.
This guy truly lives up to his reputation as Venus, the planet of death and destruction, who has been in charge of killing since ancient times.
Who could have predicted that Venus, the head of the civil officials, would possess the strength of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal? Although his eyes were peaceful and benevolent, deep within them lay a dense killing intent that few could match.
But what's this guy doing here?!
Could it be that they want to interrogate me?!
Meanwhile, Venus became increasingly terrified as he looked at Shendu.
I've never heard of a dragon's physical body being so powerful, with the primordial spirit cultivation of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal combined with the physical realm of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.
He was just one step away from achieving physical sainthood.
After pondering for a moment, Taibai Jinxing realized the gap between the two. Although he himself was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he might not necessarily be able to defeat the dragon in front of him in a real fight.
Previously, in the great battle between Zhenwu the Great and Shendu, Zhenwu the Great was always suppressed, simply because his acquired spiritual treasures could not even shake the opponent's physical body.
Both of them were deep in thought when Guanyin slowly floated in, instantly breaking the silence.
Both gazes were fixed on the trespasser. Upon noticing this, Guanyin remained calm, showing no sign of tension. Then, under their gazes, she said softly, "Amitabha, this humble monk greets the benefactor."
"May I ask your name, benefactor?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Du replied, "My name is Shen Du."
“Benefactor of the capital, you have a connection with my Buddhist sect. I have come here under the guidance of the Buddha to invite you to join my Buddhist sect.”
"Our Buddhist sect is willing to offer the Golden Dragon Tathagata Buddha to you, benefactor. What do you say?"
"This is the position of the Buddha, second only to the three Buddhas of the past, present, and future."
Guanyin, who came straight to the two, did not ponder for a moment, but simply stated her purpose, as if she were a messenger of the Tathagata.
As soon as these words were spoken, Taibai Jinxing's expression changed. Although his words were calm, they already showed his dissatisfaction. "Venerable Guanyin, your Buddhist sect is about to flourish. If Fellow Daoist Shendu were to join your Buddhist sect at this time, I'm afraid he would compete with the Buddhist sect members for the merits of the Heavenly Dao."
"Did the Buddha Tathagata consult the opinions of the other two Buddhas before acting in this way?!"
Guanyin smiled faintly, "This matter will be explained by my Buddha and the other two Buddhas; it's not my place to worry about it."
"Humph!"
Venus snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Guanyin's actions. He then turned to Shen Du and said, "Fellow Daoist, His Majesty the Jade Emperor of Heaven sees your formidable strength. Would you be willing to become a god of Heaven? What is your opinion?"
At this moment, Shen Du was completely dumbfounded by the offers of recruitment from both sides.
Is he really that sought-after?!
Little did they know that a wild Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Journey to the West era would be a tremendous boost to a powerful force like theirs. A being who could reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, regardless of strength, certainly possessed extraordinary luck.
After a moment of contemplation, Shendu remained silent.
The reason is that he didn't want to join the bald monks' Buddhist sect, after all, the impression was there, and they were often brainwashed by Buddhist scriptures, which would be a disaster.
Could I refuse directly? Would that offend the Buddhist community?
Suddenly, Shendu remembered Venus beside him, and a sense of loss washed over him.
He said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "I hope you can convey my apology to the Buddha on my behalf. I am not a vegetarian, I eat meat."
"Amitabha!"
"If that's the case, then I hope we'll meet again someday."
Guanyin silently recited a phrase, and then spoke.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the gods, his figure transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.
This scene left Shen Du completely bewildered.
Isn't it said that Buddhist monks are no different from bandits?
Shouldn't I force myself to take a hard line?!
