Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 620 - 619: Ominous Signs, Tathagata Is About to Act [First Update]

Boom!

With these words, the Great Ming King Peacock was struck as if by lightning, left stunned on the spot.

The Buddhas of the Western Heaven, various Bodhisattvas,

also looked surprised, exchanging glances with each other.

"How could this be..."

Many were filled with confusion.

Perhaps before, everyone only thought that the struggle for the Future Buddha lay between the East Buddha and the late Golden Cicada.

But after experiencing the endless internal scheming from a century ago,

the Immortal Buddhas of Lingshan had already understood that the position of Future World Honored One was a contest between the Past Buddha and the Present Buddha, these two Saints.

And the East Buddha was undoubtedly the one being fully supported by the Past Buddha.

But now, the Tathagata Buddha even came out to support the East Buddha, directly declaring him the Future World Honored One, and that no one should contest it.

This unsurprisingly caused an uproar,

leaving everyone shocked and in disbelief.

Especially those who had sided with Golden Cicada in the past, or aligned themselves with the Medicine King, felt their minds buzzing, momentarily bewildered before falling into deep worry.

The Great Ming King Peacock was even more so; she gazed incredulously at the Great Leiyin Temple, her eyes nearly ablaze with tangible fury.

"Aren’t you afraid of chilling the hearts of all Buddhas by doing this?" The Great Ming King Peacock hissed through gritted teeth, wishing to rush into the Great Leiyin Temple and cut open the Tathagata Buddha’s heart to see what he was truly thinking!

However, the Tathagata Buddha had already made up his mind and said calmly, "East Buddha, go and vie for the seat."

The East Buddha, who had already absorbed the Saint’s Breath falling from Lingshan into his body, clasped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you."

Before leaving, he paused, turned to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and said, "The past disputes are over. Once I succeed as the Future World Honored One, I will not settle old scores. I only hope that henceforth, the Buddha Country stays united in one heart and spirit, so we may establish ourselves in the great world and unify all heavens!"

With that, he vanished, heading elsewhere to seize the Supreme Yang Qi.

The remaining Buddhas of Lingshan exchanged complex glances.

"So, have you conceded?"

The Great Ming King Peacock looked at the Great Leiyin Temple with unwillingness, for at that moment in Lingshan, only she dared to argue with the World Honored One.

"It’s not that I conceded, only that the Venerable Emperor Chong’en is dead, and I must hurry elsewhere. As for extinguishing the Dao, it must be done by him."

The voice from the Great Leiyin Temple carried a hint of helplessness.

The battlefield had undergone a change, with Confucius’ involvement urging him to go there quickly.

Once he’s eliminated Yang Jian for the Buddha Country, he will return there.

"Extinguish the Dao... Extinguish the Dao... If I become a Saint, why do you think I can’t extinguish the Dao?" The Great Ming King Peacock was furious, her tone filled with reluctance.

"I know it’s because I plotted to kill Golden Cicada, so you have a grievance with me. But even if you don’t support me, why not support the Medicine King? Do you know that a century ago, all the Buddhas blocked the East Buddha outside the Western Heaven, causing him to almost die."

"Do you truly believe that after he becomes a Saint, he won’t seek retribution for that day?"

The Great Ming King Peacock’s voice was like thunder, ringing loudly and hitting the Buddhas’ hearts with worry.

Clearly, she was unwilling to give up, trying to rally the Buddhas to her side.

"Alas..."

The one in the Great Leiyin Temple sighed helplessly at this.

"It’s not that I want to support his sainthood, but that the position was destined for him; some matters are beyond words."

"In time, you will understand."

"As for the incident that year, I can guarantee that after he gains the position, there will be no settling of accounts."

"Enough, the matter is settled, there’s no need to argue further. Everyone disperse."

The Tathagata Buddha explained no more, and the Great Leiyin Temple returned to silence.

The Buddhas exchanged glances and finally all nodded a Buddha blessing towards the Great Leiyin Temple before each returned to their Dao fields.

With a heart full of unwillingness, the Great Ming King Peacock gave Lingshan one last deep look, spread her wings, and left in a huff.

The Tathagata Buddha didn’t mind.

Now, he had more important matters to resolve.

That is, to eliminate Yang Jian.

After eliminating Yang Jian, the matter of extinguishing the Daoist Celestial Court would naturally be led by the Future Buddha and the Buddha Country’s army.

And he himself would rush to that battlefield.

"Alas, I thought the situation was settled there after Primordial Heaven-Reaching’s fall, but who would have thought there’d be changes..."

"Heavenly Dao, what on earth has gone awry?"

The Tathagata Buddha sighed in helplessness, and after a sigh, his expression turned cold as he stepped out of the Great Leiyin Temple, heading straight for the Eastern Immortal Realm.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the Daoist Celestial Court.

Shen Gongbao wore a solemn expression as he issued a warning to Yang Jian.

"A great ominous sign, a truly great ominous sign!"

As the century drew to a close, he had been divining the Celestial Court’s fate. Just now, the tortoise shell had shattered, and a heavenly blood light descended into the Celestial Court, directly pointing to Yang Jian.

"It seems that the Tathagata Buddha is going to make a move."

"If there are no surprises, he will come for you."

The Red-bottomed Macaque also spoke seriously, having sensed the murderous intent from the west.

"This day was bound to come, it just depends on whether the Celestial Court’s fortune can withstand him."

From the moment he shouldered the Dao, Yang Jian knew that when the century ended, he would undoubtedly face a calamity.

So he wasn’t surprised; on the contrary, he had long prepared for this day.

But just then, a voice came from outside the Celestial Palace.

"This is bad."

It was the young girl Ling’Er who arrived. She had successfully broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm twenty years ago.

"What’s wrong?"

The celestial deities looked towards her; this girl connected with Nuwa, although within the Celestial Court, had never been involved in its affairs, yet today she had come to the Celestial Palace of Discussion, surprising all present.

"Sister Bai... Sister Bai, and Xiao Qing, Sister Xiao Qian, they’ve gone out!"

The young girl Ling’Er spoke urgently, her tone a bit stuttering with anxiety.

"What did they go out to do?" asked the Long-armed Ape, puzzled.

To speak of it, since the Daoist Lord’s incident, he hadn’t seen the White Snake Sisters, said to be in secluded cultivation, focused on their practice.

"They’re, they’re going to vie for the Saint’s seat!" the young girl Ling’Er exclaimed loudly.

This remark startled all the quasi-saints in the Celestial Palace, causing furrowed brows.

"They are crazy; they only just entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, how dare they vie for the Saint’s seat?" Sun Wukong found it somewhat absurd.

These years, his cultivation had been increasing daily, with the Saint’s Breath reaching twelve strands, touching the threshold of conventional Quasi-Saint limits.

In the Celestial Court, aside from Yang Jian, his cultivation was only second to the Red-bottomed Macaque.

"The Daoist Lord has already said, the Saint’s path, if avoidable, is best not taken. Why are they recklessly vying for that seat?" The Long-armed Ape also couldn’t understand.

Over the years, under revelations from Yang Jian and the Red-bottomed Macaque, the quasi-saints in the Celestial Court understood another path, a longer one.

The Saint’s position, though allowing swift ascension to the peak, also carried various restrictions.

Thus, those aspiring towards greater heights wouldn’t covet the Saint’s position.

The sudden emergence of the Cyan and White Snakes to vie for seats naturally caught everyone by surprise.
