However, in the next moment, as if it felt challenged, the slowly expanding tribulation cloud suddenly surged, obscduing all the stars in the sky. The town of Yongning was covered under the tribulation cloud, and even a considerable part of Green Python Mountain was also shrouded.
“Mountain God His Highness!”
The monsters gathered at the foot of Green Mountain were restless. They cast their questioning gaze on the elegantly dressed scholar, who stood frozen in place, motionless.
Feeling the monsters’ fearful and restless gaze, the scholar regained his composure. He then drained the tea in his hand, looked towards the monsters, and revealed a calm smile,
“Leave the mountain. If you still have feelings for this mountain, you can come back and take a look after ten days. If you have somewhere to go, you don’t need to return. It’s good to explore outside the mountain. Here in the mountains, there’s little chance for you to become a major monster!” “Mountain God His Highness, what about you?”
The White Wolf Master, who was still leading his family, quickly followed up. He looked more like a dog who had lost his home than a cold and lofty major monster.
“I am one with the mountain. If the mountain exists, so do I!”
“Mountain God His Highness!”
The major monsters understood immediately. The tribulation that had occurred outside the mountain and spread to the mountains was far more terrifying than the tribulation of the Yuan Dan. Otherwise, the Mountain God would not have said such things.
Crack—
A strand of purple thunder exploded in the tribulation cloud. It didn’t target anyone, not even those undergoing the tribulation, yet countless Evil Ghost Spirits were vaporized instantly before they could even scream.
The area covered by the heavenly tribulation and its surrounding thousands of miles were almost swept clean of the black aura and monstrous atmosphere. For a time, the sea and mountains were calm, and the universe was serene.
However, the impact of this purple thunderclap extended far beyond a thousand miles. Even at the grand temple ten thousand miles away, where the Buddha’s light was vast, the golden bell rang, and at the Taoist gate filled with ethereal aura, the jade chime sounded by itself.
“Purple Sky Thunder?! Why would such a heavenly tribulation descend on the mortal world?”
The Daoist priest who was practicing his breathing exercises on the cliff looked in the direction of Da Jin with a bewildered expression and felt dumbfounded.
Even this old Daoist priest, who wore a star crown and feathery robe and had purple aura circling his body, could not maintain his noble and calm demeanor.
“Master, Sect Master sent an urgent decree!”
Over the horizon, a white crane swooped down. A delicate and pretty child stumbled and fell from the crane’s back, rushed towards the old Daoist, and handed over a Jade token.
“The reincarnated fairy monarch? Leakage of the aura of the Previous Life’s Dao Fruit of Chun Yang?!”
Upon receiving the jade token, the old Daoist’s expression dramatically changed, and he looked shocked. The mindset that he had cultivated through hundreds of years of dedicated cultivation was nothing in front of such news.
“Child !
However, the old Daoist quickly recovered.
“Master, do you have any orders?”
The delicate Daoist boy brimming with immortal aura, replied respectfully.
“I will leave the mountain for a while, you will be in charge of this cave dwelling. As for everything else, make your own decisions!”
“Ah! But you haven’t finished refining the Heavenly Heart Pill lin your furnace yet, are you going down the mountain now? Why not wait until the pill is ready?”
The young Daoist boy was shocked, then he began to panic.
“If I wait for the pill to be ready before leaving, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to see the face of the Immortal Monarch!”
The old Daoist knew perfectly well which was more important. He picked up his Daoist robe, held his whisk, and there was already a cloud floating under his feet.
“As for that batch of Heavenly Heart Pills, do as you please with them. If you manage to refine them, treat them like candy beans and eat them. If you can’t, clean up the mess from the furnace. As long as you don’t blow up the furnace, it’s all good!”
After saying this, the old Daoist, regardless of the varied expressions on the little Daoist’s face, stepped on the cloud and left the Daoist arena, rushing hurriedly towards the location of Da Jin.
The Sect Master didn’t just inform him. Anyone in the sect who was still alive and capable of breathing, regardless of whether they were refining pills or in seclusion, they all descended the mountain.
For such an imperial edict, the current Sect Master didn’t even gather them to discuss it, he made the decision on his own. Although this seems autocratic, the old Daoist didn’t see a problem with it. By the time they finished discussing, they may not even find a single hair of the Immortal Monarch
The sound of the Purple Heavenly Divine Thunder resonating in the world is not something that only they could perceive. Anyone with a bit of cultivation would be aware. And it’s not just their sect, all the other sects in Nan Hua Continent would likely make their move.
Who doesn’t want to welcome a reincarnated fairy monarch into their sect? As for the origins of this Immortal Monarch and whether he has a sect backing him, who cares about that? First secure the connection and then talk about the rest!
Moreover, it’s not just the Daoist sects, but also…
The elderly Taoist was caught in deep contemplation when he sensed a piercingly bright light before him. Looking up, he spotted in the near distance, a venerable monk riding a golden lion, draped in a kasaya woven from seven treasures. With compassionate brows and kind eyes, it was evident that he was an Enlightened Monk.
The sight of the monk caused the Taoist’s face to darken in an instant. What he feared most was exactly what he had encountered. The beast that carried the bald-headed old monk had a trajectory that was precisely aligned with his own.
“Fellow Daoist, please halt!”
With a wave of his horsetail whisk, the old Taoist managed to pace alongside the monk on the golden lion.
“Amitabha, it’s an honor to meet you, Taoist Priest. May I know what advice you have for me?”
The elderly monk wore a serene smile and looked at the Taoist. His wrinkled face radiated a serene and compassionate Buddhist aura. Indeed, he was a Buddhist master with deep insights into the teachings of Buddha, quite a challenging opponent.
“I dare not offer advice, but may I ask where you are heading?” the old Taoist asked, not without some hope.
“Amitabha, in response to your question, Taoist Priest, I will be returning to Da Jin, where my Buddha has been reincarnated!”
Da Jin? The Buddha reincarnated?
What a coincidence! Their Taoist Immortal Monarch had also chosen Da Jin for his reincarnation. Could it be that the Buddhists too had their Buddha reincarnated in the same place?
And even more coincidentally at this very time!
“Master, it’s broad daylight! How dare you spout such nonsense?”
The old Taoist looked ill-tempered. From within his sleeves, a gleam of Immortal Light flashed intermittently.
“The Immortal Monarch of our Taoist Sect has reincarnated in Da Jin. The Purple Sky Thunder cannot be falsified. What does this have to do with your Buddhist sect?”
“Taoist Priest, you are succumbing to that which troubles.”
With a kindly face, the elderly monk calmly explained,
“The Immortal Monarch’s reincarnation is indeed real. But since he had already achieved the Previous Life’s Dao Fruit of Pure Yang, why should he enter the Taoist school upon reincarnation and take the same path? He should take a different path. In this life, he may enter the Buddhist Gate and become the Buddha of Ling Mountain. Thus, my journey is to welcome our Buddha back to his position!”
“Bald-headed monk, your words are deceitful and utterly shameless. Have a
taste of my power!”
The old Taoist, now absolutely livid, released the Immortal Light, which filled the surrounding space, dispersing the clouds and fog around him.
“Amitabha!”
The elderly monk, who had been wary of the Taoist, bore a pained expression. He emitted a golden radiance that exploded forth. But then, suddenly, Crack!
The elderly monk, his face filled with wrinkles, was startled. The Jade Ruyi in his hand expanded rapidly before his eyes.
Clang!
The high-ranking monk, an expert of Buddha Dharma, was thrown off the golden lion. The spray of light golden blood in mid-air was a spectacular sight in the sky.
“Our Buddha is merciful, but he can also subdue demons! ”
Even a monk would not take such a blow lying down. A towering giant Buddha, about a hundred Zhang tall, appeared on the earth.
This Buddha was sitting crossed-legged with a youthful visage. He had seven tufts of hair on top, braided hair draped over his left shoulder, his left eye tightly shut, the left lower teeth reaching over the upper lip, his back held a violent fire, a sharp sword in his right hand and shackles in his left.
This was the wrathful appearance of the Ming King!
“Old snub nose, face my subduing demon palm!”
“Even if you monks have Ming King manifestations, I, the Taoist priest, also have Dharma.”
The old Taoist laughed coldly, showing no fear.
Behind him, a clear aura rose and transformed into a Taoist Priest in a high crown and broad belt, his face reflecting the person that was himself. He exuded an aura of transcendence and freedom. The Taoist held a jade scepter in his hand, stood on a Spirit Turtle, and above his head, an immortal crane spread its wings.
The battle between the Taoists and Buddhists erupted… yet it was not the only one. The big shock to the Nan Hua Continent was how the gusting winds and swirling clouds filling the sky over Da Jin County broke the tranquillity all due to a sudden explosion of thunder. It alerted countless Taoist and Buddhist monks.
Because too many Masters with divine powers who were startled went there. If they are from the same school, they can coexist in peace for a while. But if it’s an encounter between true followers of Taoism and Buddhism, then a big battle is imminent.
The one who ignited this dramatic transformation, causing the entire state to be a storm because of his existence, was still unaware of the situation. However, the King of You Huang Ghost Country, standing beside him and self-acclaimed protector of the Tao, had noticed this but still could not but sigh,
“The Bead of Heaven and Earth just can’t hide such a commotion, can it?”
