Chapter 567 - 348: Guang Chengzi, Greetings Master!
Midnight.
Meng Family.
"Why do you still intend on staying in my home indefinitely?" Meng Qingtian spoke helplessly.
Kong Shentong held the Exquisite Treasure Tower with one hand, shrugged:
"My courtyard was occupied by that guy called Daoist Venerable, what can I do?"
After a pause, he caressed the treasure tower, sitting cross-legged in the void, his eyes gleaming:
"Tell me, do you think this Daoist Venerable is indeed the World-Honored One Buddha, the Human Race’s ancestor?"
"And how did he get entangled with the Chief of the Six Paths Department?"
Meng Qingtian rubbed his forehead, speaking in a low voice:
"You ask me, but whom do I ask? What terrifies me now is that the Chief and the Chairman are actually this powerful, far beyond my original expectations!"
He exhaled a turbid breath, his face showing a solemn expression:
"Originally, I estimated these two might be top-tier True Saints, possibly with one foot into the domain of Celestial Venerates or Buddhas."
"But now it seems, they are clearly Celestial Venerates, Buddhas!"
"But the question is, in this world, without a Celestial Position, how did they achieve the status of Celestial Venerate or Buddha?"
Meng Qingtian was making guesses, today’s scenes were too frightful, a group of Great Divine Power Users were almost like ants in front of those two!
Ordinary Venerates, Great Powers, might not notice anything,
But they could perceive it clearly.
The gap between them was simply too immense.
Kong Shentong also rubbed his temples with a headache:
"The only good news is that these two seem heavily restrained, the Chairman descended with a sliver of Spiritual Will, his true body still in seclusion.
As for the Chief, he cannot leave the Celestial Capital, seems to be suppressing something in the Six Paths Prison."
The two discussed the conversations they heard today, deliberating on the future path, during which Kong Shentong sighed and shook his head:
"The fear is that the Chief might go mad again, my true body has already withdrawn from the Celestial Capital... it’s probably not just me."
Meng Qingtian also wore a wry smile on his face:
"Who doesn’t? I reckon other daoist friends feel the same, after today’s event, which Great Divine Power User would dare stay in the Celestial Capital?"
"They’re all heading to the World Plateau, to the forty-nine provinces!"
After taking a breath, he changed the topic:
"However, it might not be a bad thing, I asked [New Heaven] and learned that in the upcoming great destiny event called [Journey to the West],
the Sutra Taker, bearing the heavenly mandate, will traverse the World Plateau, enduring ten tribulations, passing through sixteen upper provinces, enduring sixteen tribulations,
and during this journey, will pass through Different Dimensions, enduring dozens of tribulations."
Kong Shentong’s expression shifted:
"What do you mean?"
Meng Qingtian’s eyes shone brightly:
"You and I both know, the Great Struggle era has begun, but the return of the Old World existence hinges on the completion of the great event."
"Now, many daoist friends, to avoid the Chief, have retreated to the World Plateau and various provinces, they can easily intercept when the Sutra Taker passes by!"
Taking a deep breath,
Meng Qingtian’s eyes shone even brighter:
"As long as we hinder this Sutra Taker from completing the Journey to the West event, the Old World cannot return on a large scale, and we still have time!"
He pointed at himself:
"I can craft the New Heaven into a true supreme heaven, and you can continue attempting to enlighten the world, securing a Supreme Saint Celestial Position!"
Kong Shentong pondered, nodded slightly, sighing:
"It’s the only way... but what do you think about the Netherworld issue not far off?"
"Don’t go, don’t go!"
Meng Qingtian’s voice turned stern:
"Indeed, the Netherworld holds great opportunity, becoming the master of Central Extreme City allows one to control the Netherworld."
"But likewise, I just inquired New Heaven, learned a major event, that a channel to a Different Dimension will appear in the Netherworld—
In other words, those in the Different Dimension, holding supreme positions, might descend!"
Hearing this, Kong Shentong stood up in surprise:
"Is this true?"
"Absolutely true!"
Meng Qingtian nodded affirmatively:
"I suspect this is related to what New Heaven mentioned, the Sutra Taker will also endure tribulations involving Different Dimensions."
"I speculate, this change in the Netherworld might initially merge the Different Dimension with the real dimension...."
Kong Shentong’s expression grew extremely grave, pacing back and forth, scratching his head:
"If true, it does complicate things."
He turned his head, speaking solemnly:
"Spread some news, rally a few Great Divine Power Users, a few allies, we must prepare for this great world."
"Whether it’s the Netherworld change, the possible descent of Different Dimensions, or the Journey to the West event and the World-Honored One Buddha of the Other Shore World...."
Kong Shentong’s voice grew even lower:
"All these, and everything, are beyond the capabilities of just you and me, in the Golden Province there’s a High Heaven Association, perhaps we should also form a similar alliance."
Meng Qingtian closed his eyes in thought, took a long time before speaking:
"Nothing against it, but who should lead this alliance? Whom to invite? What should it be called, and what should it rely on for cohesion?"
Listening to Meng Qingtian,
Kong Shentong remained silent for a moment, then said:
"Let’s take it slowly, one step at a time... as for what to call it?"
In his hand appeared a Seal, speaking deeply:
"I obtained this Supreme Treasure from a department head in the Investigation Bureau, it’s called the Vast Heaven Seal, also known as the Celestial Emperor’s Seal."
"I heard, in the Old World there was a force named the Celestial Court, dominating all realms, ruling over all worlds—why not just call it, the Celestial Court?"
Meng Qingtian pondered, deliberated, nodded in agreement:
"I am crafting the New Heaven anyway, let’s call it the Celestial Court!"
He exhaled, murmuring:
"It’s just, the Vast Heaven Seal... sounds like it comes from the same lineage as the Vast Heaven Mirror, and that Vast Heaven Mirror is now in the hands of the mysterious Daoist Venerable...."
Kong Shentong pondered, contemplated, and finally made a decision:
"I plan to test a little, to see if this Daoist Venerable is indeed the World-Honored One Buddha, and if confirmed not, perhaps we can bring him into the fold, as an ally?"
