Chapter 1323: Chapter 497: Buddha Country’s Strategy (Part 2)
Such a character, considered as a person of significance, right?
But what I want to tell you is, within Jing Country, there are still numerous Taiping Monks. Together, they have established a stable life for the people of Jing Country.
When the Witch God heard this, he fully awakened: "The infiltration by the people of the Buddha Country has allowed the common folk to live peaceful and prosperous days—are they winning the people’s hearts?"
"When Buddha Country and Jing Country go to war, those who seemed like great good people and benefactors will call out from high places, and the wish power of the common folk will turn towards them."
"Once the human desire power of Jing Country is mastered by the people of the Buddha Country... the Heavenly God Level of Jing Country will become nothing more than fragile turtle eggs! Weak and easily crushed turtle eggs!"
Witch God’s face turned extremely grim,
to think that within the prosperous and harmonious human world of Jing Country, such a great calamity is hidden.
Then the Dream Realm Heavenly God continued: "The Human World Gods are not to be feared—now, as for the Heavenly Fire Clan!"
"The Heavenly Fire Clan, accustomed to greatness, has been stupefied by elixirs and has become mentally diseased; this is the elixir disaster of the Heavenly Dome."
"You can now easily imagine, this elixir disaster, though partly due to the Heavenly Fire Clan’s innate indulgence, is exacerbated by someone fanning the flames."
The Dream Realm Heavenly God stood with the air of a victor and said: "Witch God, hear what I say, how capable is the Buddha Country?"
"Spending hundreds of years using Human Desire Power to deal with the Heavenly God Level; with an elixir disaster, they disrupt the spirit of the Heavenly Fire Clan,
once the Heavenly Fire Clan and the Heavenly God Level become vulnerable..."
"The Infinite Buddha Eyes of the Buddha Country will then... open over the skies of Jing Country."
The Dream Realm Heavenly God, as if envisioning his faith, raised his hands high as he spoke.
"Jing Country! It’s finished! The Buddha Master from Buddha Country will surely descend upon Jing Country and annihilate all you Heavenly Venerates, Heavenly Gods, and wills!"
"Jing Country... is not finished."
Witch God suddenly remembered someone—the name of that young man lingered in his mind, giving him the courage to speak confidently.
"How does one save a sinking ship like Jing Country? It cannot be saved... let the ship sink."
"Mingjiang Prefecture was once a soon-to-sink ship too, wasn’t it rescued by that young man?"
Upon these words, the Dream Realm Heavenly God also remembered Zhou Xuan—moreover, he recalled that stunning slash!
With the release of that slash,
Zhou Xuan, a mere disciple with low cultivation equivalent to Seven Incense Sticks, stood on par with Heavenly Gods.
"Zhou Xuan... cannot save it either... The great momentum of Jing Country is lost, anyone standing before it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, though Zhou Xuan is formidable, is a genius, is the Mr. Shenji who overthrew me,
but what of it? He cannot save this perilously fragile, internally decayed giant tree of Jing Country, he cannot save it."
"He can save it."
The Witch God said: "If anyone can turn the tide and support the collapsing building, it could only be Zhou Xuan, Liu Huasheng, today, I send you on your way."
"Just now, your Hundred Human Phenomena, ’Heaven and Earth’ have already been promised to Zhou Xuan—it’s time to hand over your ’Dream Horn.’"
"Two Heavenly Gods’ characteristics, you actually entrusted to a mere mortal? Hahaha... hahahaha..."
In the laughter of the Dream Realm Heavenly God, there was an intense jealousy, after laughing, he spitefully said: "Witch God, you all treat Zhou Xuan too well... far too well,
if you had valued me as much back then, how could I have depended on Buddha Country? How could I expect a future promised by the Buddha Master?"
"Liu Huasheng, if at the start of your career you had used your passion to cut down the Three-headed Stone Buddha of Buddha Country, which of the Four Great Venerable would not have valued you?"
"If during three or four incenses, you had united the wandering spirits of Mingjiang Prefecture into a god and consecutively defeated three God-level beings, how could the Heavenly Venerate look down on you?"
"If you had been able to save the sinking ship of Mingjiang Prefecture, this position I hold should be yours! But you did nothing, compared to Zhou Xuan? Do you even deserve it?"
Witch God’s presence broke free from Lord Jiu’s body, a tall man dressed in a black cloak, with his face and head hidden in the shadow of the hood, stepped forward.
He held a Witch Bell in one hand and drew a Witch Talisman in the air with the other, advancing step by step towards the Dream Realm Heavenly God,
"If not for that, once the Heavenly God Aura is destroyed, the passage between the human world and the Heavenly Dome will open wide, I would have let your body perish and your path extinguish,
but now, I can only make you follow a Scattered Dao, taking away your characteristics..."
The Dream Realm Heavenly God knew he could not defeat the Witch God. During his peak, he couldn’t have, let alone now, hurt by that slash from Zhou Xuan that gravely wounded his Primordial Energy,
He gave up resistance; it was his last shred of dignity.
...
"Which type of Human Pill are you refining this time?"
In the stone temple of "Shanshui Jian," Danzi inquired of Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan replied: "The same kind refined in the Fire Pit on East Market Street, made from the souls of the deceased."
"Oh, that kind of pill is called ’Joyful Longevity Pill,’ upon consumption, it allows one to see many joyous events, uplifting the spirit. Consuming this pill also extends life."
Danzi, as a "Human Pill Master," naturally had extraordinary knowledge of various Human Pills.
He said: "However, human desires are such that when joy comes, one feels rejuvenated. Common folks, when met with happy events, will have better circulation and health; experiencing it occasionally can indeed prolong life,
but, if ’joy’ becomes excessive, it leads to heartbreak, emotional stagnation, and actually shortens lifespan."
"Ordinary people consuming ’Joyful Longevity Pill’ will inevitably experience excessive joy, sometimes to the point of ’mad joy’; this pill, despite its life-extending effects, due to excessive joy diminishing lifespan, eventually balances out over time, nullifying its life-extending properties."
