Chapter 2529: Meeting Means Killing

Random Recommendation:The Palace of the Supreme Emperor of Profound Capital in the Three Purities pierced the long sky like the moon. Inside the palace, the Son of Heaven of Great Scenery stepped over the threshold and gazed across ten thousand li, as if riding a flying boat across the world.

The people left in the palace, including the three esteemed Heavenly Masters on the Milky Way Golden Bridge, were all speechless.

There was truly nothing to say, and fundamentally no choice.

Now only one question remained—

Where did the Zen escape?

The East Heavenly Master closed his eyes and was silent for a moment. Opening them, he said, "Transcendence is nameless, hard to define. Your Majesty is personally the vanguard. Where do you wish to go to punish it?"

The escape of the Central Zen was absolutely unexpected. No matter which faction within Dao Country, none were willing to see this happen.

But a mature banner figure must face problems.

The Emperor Party delayed the public announcement of the Central Zen’s escape. The three factions, using "Zen escape" to pressure the Son of Heaven, were essentially acting to preserve their own interests in a situation where the problem had already occurred. No matter how intense the verbal battles were, they were actually arguing without right or wrong.

However, the Son of Heaven stood out to directly face this almost unsolvable matter, received the nation’s dirt, bore the world’s responsibility, and personally led the expedition!

This was an absolute occupation of righteousness, a grasp of name and position.

The entire court, civil and military, regardless of who they belonged to, or what their thoughts were, who could not bow in submission?

When the Palace of the Supreme Emperor of Profound Capital in the Three Purities flew away from Heavenly Capital City, the Emperor used this as a war chariot and set out to that transcendence battlefield. In the vast Central Empire, there were no longer any dissenting voices!

No one could get off.

The Emperor personally led the expedition, who had the qualification to escape danger?

When the great war began, no thoughts were to be moved. The entire empire would only obey one kind of will.

Regardless of what Song Huai had thought before, now he had to think—this war had an opportunity!

He could not abandon himself. Could he just die for the Son of Heaven with the three factions of Heavenly Masters today?

Song Huai quickly adjusted his posture and focused on thinking about this war. But the Emperor did not immediately answer his question. Instead, with his hands behind his back, he gazed at the cloudy sky, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, he laughed, "The great war is about to rise, yet Tai Yu is calm and composed!"

Rather than saying calm and composed, it was better to say his spirit wandered outside of things.

Of course, there were also some officials left behind. At this moment, they all went out of the palace to assist in guarding various places within the imperial palace. Even Ji Yu Min, the Minister of the Zongzheng Temple, was patrolling outside. In the palace, there were only the Emperor and the three Heavenly Masters, as well as one Li Yi.

The three esteemed Heavenly Masters were all using their own methods to prepare for the coming war. Li Yi still stood there steadily.

This Tai Yu Zhen Jun was obviously ordered to come to the great court assembly just to go through the motions—but the great court assembly had become the Son of Heaven personally leading an expedition, and he still seemed not to have turned the corner.

Like a scholar reciting scriptures sitting in a suburban tour carriage, suddenly all the fellow travelers put on armor, the carriage became a war chariot, and the war chariot rushed into the battlefield. He still thought about when this boring suburban tour would end and he would go home to read a few more articles.

When the Son of Heaven called him at this moment, he only calmly lifted his eyes, "Where to fight, and who to fight, Your Majesty and several Heavenly Masters will decide. I just want to rest more breaths, so I can swing my sword faster."

He undoubtedly respected the current Son of Heaven. The explanations he gave the Son of Heaven were all more serious and complete than those given to others.

Although he stood there, his body did not move.

The Emperor was very gratified, "Heavenly Master Wu can represent the history of Great Luo Mountain, and Li Tai Yu is entrusted with the future of Great Luo Mountain. Regarding this personal expedition, Great Luo Mountain's support can be said to be without reservation. I remember it very well."

Wu Dao You frankly accepted it, "For the great cause of Dao Country, Great Luo Mountain has never spared itself!"

These words, Li Yi absolutely could not say so frankly—unless Yu Zhao Luan let him recite them again.

He quietly nurtured his Dao Sword.

"No one doesn't support Your Majesty. When You had not yet ascended the throne, Penglai Island advanced overseas immortal grass, which benefited Your cultivation. In the years You have held the reins of the world, there has not been a single major matter where Penglai Island did not exert its full effort." Song Huai also stood at this time, "Suppose this poor Dao's beloved disciple was not in seclusion in Taixu Illusion Realm, he would absolutely not evade this war either."

Yu Xi did not speak.

Great Luo Mountain had a leading-era heavenly pride like Li Yi. Penglai Island's young generation's leading figure, Chen Suan, was also absolutely not weak.

Jade Capital Mountain's side only had one Pei Hong Jiu, who in the court assembly just now, represented the entire Pei family’s leaning towards the imperial family.

Compared with the other two factions, Jade Capital Mountain’s young generation could be said to be talent withered!

How withered?

They initially invited the wolf into the house, letting that old big rat Zong De Zhen sit in the position of headmaster of Jade Capital Mountain! Those guys swallowed and ate, eating almost everything inside and outside the teaching door.

You Que originally had the opportunity to join Jade Capital Mountain, and Wan Si Jing Hu was guided into One True Dao... Ru Kuang Min even had the possibility of becoming the surface of Jade Capital Mountain! And now Kuang Min died as an executioner for One True Dao, and Kuang Ming was also pushed towards the imperial family.

Earlier, when scolding people together on the mountain, Xiao Yu even suspected whether Zong De Zhen was an undercover agent arranged by Ji Yu Su in that year.

Speaking of now, Jade Capital Mountain had no headmaster. Speaking of the future, Jade Capital Mountain had no heavenly pride to bring out.

Zong De Zhen’s downfall, and that Yuan Jie Shu also wiped out a huge "empty" for Jade Capital Mountain!

No matter what, this war could not be lost. He, the only remaining major Heavenly Master of Jade Capital Mountain, also could not die. Now the Emperor’s heroic talent and broad-mindedness were not to the extent of borrowing an evil Zen knife to kill him without a pattern, but if he himself was not careful enough and the Emperor did not save him in time, that would also be nobody's fault.

That side Lou Yue was pushed off the war chariot by the Son of Heaven, and also had no specific task—plainly it was to conserve energy and wait for the war to discuss the matter of the headmaster of Jade Capital Mountain.

The Emperor's gaze swept over the three esteemed Heavenly Masters, showing no favoritism, "Several Heavenly Masters are diligent in the affairs of Dao Country, the backbone of the world, I know this deeply. For many years I have relied on your support, which is the only reason the state can still stand firm in the center in such an intense era. It is truly not the merit of me alone!"

He cupped his hands in a salute, "Now punishing the evil Zen, I also have to trouble various positions!"

Those who could sit firmly in the position of Heavenly Master must be outstanding contemporaries, none were weak.

The three factions following the expedition also embodied Jing Country's determination for this war.

Song Huai and the others all hurriedly returned the salute.

The Emperor again said, "The Zen escapee in the Central Heavenly Prison, His identity is absolutely secret. Throughout history, only the Son of Heaven in the imperial family has known. Of course, several Heavenly Masters definitely know—the former Dragon Buddha killed Pu Xian, stirring up the great calamity of exterminating the Buddha. The Zen sects of the various heavens and ten thousand realms all received this resentment. Whenever there was a Buddha transmission, there was war. Countless Pure Lands were destroyed, the present world's Buddha pagodas were stained red, and even the Netherworld Great World, which was not how related, was blood-washed, until now there is no systematic system formed, only some secluded, self-sweeping Netherworld God Domains... Finally, the World Honored One's body died, but the Buddha law still transmitted. This is the so-called 'Heavenly Buddha killing Ancestor Buddha'."

"The World Honored One's evil thought, entrusting disaster water, was swallowed by evil spirits, thereafter lotus-born Bodhi, self-titled 'Bodhi Evil Ancestor'; the World Honored One's original desire, intending to dye the Pure Land, desiring to make all the heavens Buddha countries, is this one underneath the Central Heavenly Prison."

"Speaking from the source, They all came from the World Honored One. But as transcendence level strong ones, They are all independent existences."

The World Honored One transmitted the Dao throughout the heavens, leaving countless legends.

After death, the remnants again divided into two, and two transcendence beings appeared on two paths!

Truly hard to imagine how powerful.

And how terrifying was the Dragon Buddha, able to stir up the great calamity of exterminating the Buddha, finally leading to the extinction of this kind of strong one? No wonder His Saha Dragon Staff was able to confront the Penglai Dao Master's Zhao Cang Wu Sword, serving as a reliance for each side in the Mí Realm, not falling behind.

Wu Dao You said coldly, "Those Buddha sons and Buddha grandsons still think that inside the Central Heavenly Prison, their Shakyamuni is being suppressed! The Human Emperor is already gone, do they really think the World Honored One is eternal and not extinct? Especially Suspended Temple, they often look north, and from time to time have to be knocked a bit before they are willing to be honest."

Song Huai seemed to have some thoughts, "This time the Zen escaped, I think they cannot escape responsibility either."

Yu Xi raised his eyebrows, "Last time there was blood rain in Heavenly Capital, didn't the fierce Bodhisattva just come? Perhaps that time he just left some means to open the door for that evil Zen."

The more he spoke, the more he felt he was right, "It was also exactly at that time that Lou Yue worried about the loosening of the seal and invited us to check, but we all checked and found no problem—it is possible that at that time this evil Zen could already release power and cover us all."

The three Heavenly Masters would all enter the state of shared hatred for a common enemy at this point. It seemed that the sharp opposition to the Emperor Party in the court assembly earlier did not exist.

For how many years, the Central Empire had moved forward in this kind of situation, in internal strife and external unity efforts.

The Jing Country Emperor looked at the distant sky for a while longer, then said, "The matter of settling accounts after the autumn... say it after the autumn."

Song Huai nodded, "Yes, it should be said after the autumn."

The Emperor leisurely said, "East Heavenly Master unexpectedly has so much confidence in me, thinking I still have an 'after autumn'?"

Song Huai's tone was very serious, "Your Majesty has the will to six directions, and ought not to be isolated and bravely rush forward lightly. We follow the expedition, not thinking this war will be lost."

The Emperor turned back, glanced at him, and suddenly laughed, "If you were to cry in the Ancestral Temple and the empire ordered two gates to be opened, I would also cut off the hope of the six directions. It is the Heavenly Master who is forcing this war. Soldiers are ominous tools, but I also have to use them."

Recalling the secret conversation between this pair of monarch and minister in Xuan Lu Hall before the operation to clear out One True began, how tacit their understanding was.

Of course, it could not be said there was no tacit understanding now either.

They were firmly walking on different roads within the same major direction. No one turned back.

Just like this Great Scenery Imperial Palace, which temporarily did not know where to sail.

Song Huai's face did not show too many expressions. He only said, "This old man's heart worries about the world, and his thoughts are on Dao Country. Although only this heart knows, I also believe Your Majesty can understand."

The Emperor waved his hand, "Joking with you! Where in the six directions are there smooth paths? It is precisely by chopping through all the world's dangers, breaking all difficulties, that one can have this supreme emperor king. Today you endure this sentence, tomorrow who will let me take one step?"

He laughed, "Heavenly Master hereafter also does not need to be polite. If there is an opportunity, just come and try. It is always better for a grand plan and beautiful dream to be shattered in the hands of one's own people, than for outsiders who only know they cannot work to vainly injure the foundation of the empire. If I cannot work, I will just give it to someone who can work early."

Song Huai, except for a bow, had no other words.

Admiration was real, respect was real. When it was time to strive, he also truly did not relax.

Just like if he touched the line drawn by Ji Feng Zhou, at this moment he could still speak gently to the monarch, and he would certainly not be reluctant to cut off his head.

The Emperor beckoned again, speaking with extreme intimacy, "Tai Yu, come closer. Come to my side to nurture your sword."

Although Li Yi did not know the Son of Heaven's intention, he also had no extra words. He quietly converged his sword intent, turned his body, and walked closer towards the palace door.

The Emperor looked at him, "Your pure heart seeks the Dao, this is naturally a good thing, but it may also confine you within the Dao. I brought you here to let you personally experience a transcendence war and broaden your vision. For you at this level, what restricts you is no longer merely cultivation—"

He again lifted a finger and virtually pointed at his brow center, "I transmit one style to you, which may be of some use."

Li Yi said thanks, then immediately closed his eyes to study.

The Emperor lifted his hand, smoothed it down, and laughed as he patted his shoulder, patting his eyes open, "Silly child! The great war is imminent, there's no need to learn now."

"Sooner or later I have to learn," Li Yi said, "I'm used to doing it a bit earlier."

"This is a good habit!" The Jing Heavenly Son praised the good habit, yet did not give him the opportunity to enter meditation. He looked at him and asked, "The escapee from the Central Heavenly Prison is the World Honored One's original desire. The Three Dao Venerables could not truly kill Him, only hand Him over to time to erode—you say He has experienced so many years of planning, where will He go once He escapes from prison?"

Li Yi thought seriously for a moment, "Drag down Heavenly River?"

"Very spiritual!" The Jing Heavenly Son absolutely did not conceal his appreciation for him, but again shook his head, "You are trying to analyze Him, to understand Him through known intelligence, but this is not enough. For a transcendence being, thinking about His ideas is meaningless. We need to think about His needs."

"Of course, for all transcendence existences, His needs are also very hard for people below transcendence to understand. But fortunately among a million misfortunes, we know who He is."

"The misfortune is that He originated from the World Honored One, destined to be powerful, even after so many years of erosion, His strength is greatly discounted. The fortune is that He originated from the World Honored One, and we more or less have some understanding of the World Honored One. His transmission of the Dao is exactly Himself. The Thousand Buddhas True Sutras are exactly the World Honored One's thousand faces."

Who in the world did not read sutras?

As a prominent learning in contemporary times, temples were everywhere. Even if one did not study Buddhist scriptures, they would more or less have some understanding of the Buddha law.

"The evil Zen calls Himself Ksitigarbha!"

"He wants to realize the ideals the World Honored One did not realize. He wants to satisfy the desires the World Honored One always restrained and erased. He first wants to become stronger, to approach the World Honored One more, even to exceed the World Honored One's existence."

The Emperor concluded, "Bodhi Evil Ancestor swallowed the World Honored One's evil thought, entrusted disaster water and was born from a lotus. Ksitigarbha, as the World Honored One's original desire, views Himself as the World Honored One, and will certainly not let go of His own power that has flowed out."

Song Huai raised his eyes, "So our target on this trip is disaster water?"

Disaster water had a red dust gate...

Inside the red dust gate, the Wen Emperor was there!

Perhaps not many people knew this before.

Since the Meng Tian Hai incident, Jing Wen Emperor guarding the red dust gate was already an open secret among the high levels of the human race.

So the Son of Heaven's confidence lay here?

Not crying in the Ancestral Temple was because there was already a tacit understanding. Driving the imperial palace on this expedition was not to seek the Wen Emperor, but to help the Wen Emperor!

But the Son of Heaven shook his head, "Bodhi Evil Ancestor is Ksitigarbha's absolute target, but having just escaped from prison, at this stage He probably still doesn't have the ability to withstand the pressure of the red dust gate and enter the disaster water to swallow and extinguish Bodhi Evil Ancestor."

"Your Majesty's meaning is..." Wu Dao You asked.

"Various positions are the arms and bones of Dao Country, I have nothing to conceal. Earlier, when the Central Zen escaped, I originally also planned to use disaster water as the final target, guarding the tree and waiting for the rabbit, sooner or later I could catch Him back. But..." The Emperor paused for a moment, finally not emphasizing again the matter of Him being forced to use a weapon, "Someone found a way to transmit important intelligence to me. This prompted me to change my decision."

What intelligence?

Wu Dao You just wanted to continue asking.

The Emperor again looked towards the distant sky, "The time has arrived."

Then lightly took a step.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The Palace of the Supreme Emperor of Profound Capital in the Three Purities was already in the boundless high sky, but suddenly it sank down—

From the blue to the yellow springs!

The so-called yellow springs were no longer within the Netherworld world. Deep in the Netherworld, only a dry spring remained. But its old site, located there, was still an extremely important root node of the Netherworld world, and still this big world's instinctually obscure "unexamined place". All existences walking in the Netherworld would unconsciously ignore this place.

The bottomless spring eye, like dry eyes, among it nether mist was hazy, and world patterns wandered like insects.

The Palace of the Supreme Emperor of Profound Capital in the Three Purities descended here with a rumble. The supreme power instantly broke the rules and reordered them. The nether mist at the bottom of this dry spring was instantly driven away, and the obscure figure at the bottom of the spring became instantly clear.

That was a constantly changing broken-tailed white dog, a black-clothed monk who suddenly stood up from a half-squat and looked back!

Never seen before, today they met here!

The face of that black-clothed monk was constantly changing, suddenly male or female, old or young, suddenly joy or anger, sorrow or pleasure, beauty or ugliness, fierce or kind, all indefinite. Only his pair of eyes were soaked with sincere compassion.

He intermittently never thought He, who was best at manipulating heaven's will, would be intercepted correctly, but only said one "There is fate!", and lifted his hand.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The majestic palace, far exceeding mountain ranges, instantly smashed into His palm.

The Jing Heavenly Son was more decisive than Him.

Meeting in an instant, they immediately began to kill each other!
