"Reporting to the Marshal, all these are what I, the old Zhu, have personally witnessed. The monk in the scarlet robe did indeed enter the Potala Palace and then they left heaven after that. I do not know where they went."
Old Zhu described his discovery vividly, as if he had ventured into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. After finishing the main point, he added, "However, the little Peach Fairy of the Doulou Palace told me that Lady Yuanjun has sent several letters to the tribe of spiritual turtles."
The Phoenix bent down to deal with official matters, while Longji cut the peach into small pieces and fed them to her after she tilted her head.
The Phoenix lifted her head and glanced at Old Zhu when he mentioned "Little Peach Fairy," her brows furrowed slightly as she returned her gaze to the piles of official documents. Old Zhu's face was full of smiles.
After finishing his report on the intelligence he had gathered, Old Zhu looked at them with eager anticipation.
The Phoenix remained silent, but Longji pointed to the side hall. Old Zhu laughed uncontrollably and bowed repeatedly. After that, he puffed out his general's belly and went to the side hall to receive his reward.
The snow lotus for the Turtle Saint Mother over here can be "reimbursed." Both Phoenix and Longji are well-known wealthy women in the Primordial Chaos, and the value of the spiritual materials given to them is usually more than three times the original value.
Currently, heavenly treasures and earthly treasures of sufficient age and quality are becoming increasingly rare. Three snow lotus can be found, but spiritual materials with effects equivalent to three times the snow lotus are hard to find.
The Turtle Saint Mother's side can fetch a good price, and so can this side, with the added bonus of making a small profit. Who's really at a loss? Old Zhu doesn't know, but at least for him, it's a triple win—winning three times over.
Unless Phoenix and the Turtle Saint Mother can make peace, drop him and let him go, he will be in a difficult situation when the time comes. However, based on Old Zhu's observation, only one tiger can rule a mountain, and this side of the North Heavenly Gate can only accommodate one big boss.
Who will ultimately win? Phoenix has the support of a sage, has the advantage of being a local bully, and has a group of loyal subordinates brought from the mortal realm. What does the Turtle Saint Mother have? She seemingly has a sage behind her, but in reality, when Tengtian Taizong retreated at the front of the Doulou Palace last time, Old Zhu made what he considered to be the right choice.
"Open your mouth." Longji cut the peaches into cubes the size of sugar, holding them with two white jade-like fingers, and feeding them to the Phoenix.
"Aaaah!" The Phoenix opened her mouth and swallowed the peach whole. There was some contact between her tongue and fingers during this process, and it would be difficult for the celestial court to use toothpicks. So, they had to feed her in an unhygienic way with their hands.
After sorting out the messy official business, she stretched her arms.
She also shook her shoulders. From long hours of working at a desk, she felt she was on the brink of developing cervical spondylosis.
Longji wanted to massage her two times, but she declined with a hand gesture.
Shiguang Bodhisattva? It's like a tree that wants to be still, but the wind keeps blowing.
She notified Deng Chanyu of the matter and then used her true form as a bridge to contact the Moonlight.
Ling Mountain, the Great Thunder Temple.
After completing a day of lectures, the moonlight finishes her work, she's just going to go back to cultivate her 6 catty golden body. Suddenly, maitreya coughs.
From among the disciples below, the divine god of music from the Asura tribe, Biencai Tian, stepped forward slowly.
"Master, there is something I want to report to you."
The Moonlight glanced at Maitreya's direction, the disciples of the Teachings sect still clung together after they turned to Buddhism. They united around the Buddha of Many Treasures and rejected all disciples who were not born from the Teachings sect. The Buddha of Many Treasures had enough wisdom to resolve the contradictions, but his mind was not on this now. He just listened to it.
Many Asuras were converted by Ksitigarbha. The vow of Ksitigarbha is not to become a Buddha until hell is empty. Ksitigarbha will not come to Mount Lingshan, so nearly all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Asura descent have joined under the command of Maitreya.
The Moonlight's voice was calm and watery: "What is it?"
Biancai Tian had a face full of compassion and said: "Now the struggle on earth has not stopped, the war has resumed. The people have been upside down in pain, and the people are suffering in fire and water. How can this not make us disciples sad?"
The disciples, regardless of whether they agree or not, all chanted the Buddha's mantra together.
After a pause of ten breaths, Biancai Tian continued: "Now all beings are suffering, our teachings should extend a helping hand to them, help them escape the suffering of the sea and attain enlightenment."
This time, even the Moonlight followed and chanted "Excellent, Excellent" twice.
She speculated in her mind, "What does Maitreya mean by that? Do you want to go to the East? Is he asking you to improve yourself?"
All the traces of the twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus and Guangcheng Zi and the series of footprints that followed were covered up by Yuanyi Tianzhu. According to the calculations from her side, it seems that Maitreya wants to follow the example of Taishen Taiyi Zhenren, establish a branch of Buddhism and enjoy its own fortune.
The Moonlight didn't think about the benefits and drawbacks of it. She put off Biancai Tian's proposal with the excuse that "this is a matter of great importance".
Returning to her own chamber, the message from the Phoenix was immediately conveyed.
"Sunlight Bodhisattva? That's what he said about spreading the Buddhist teachings to the East to save the suffering and difficulties of people, and help them attain enlightenment. I don't have a good reason to stop him. Now, Maitreya has sent Biancai Tian to forcefully take over my place, and it seems he wants to establish the White Lotus Sect. I cannot leave the Lingshan mountain in the short term. You will have to handle this matter."
The Phoenix pondered for a moment.
Previously, she couldn't help but the Moongold helped her deal with the Peacock. Now, it's Moongold's turn to help her deal with Sunlight.
"Alright, I'll take care of it."
"Good luck, buddy!"
Moongold herself has a lot of trouble, so she can't provide much help. Phoenix started to contemplate the pros and cons of this matter.
Sunlight Bodhisattva was actually insignificant, even if there were other high-level scholars behind him, Phoenix didn't feel afraid.
The Turtle Saint Mother's involvement in the matter is what is truly troublesome.
Although Tengtian Taizong has not seen the Turtle Saint Mother again, the master-disciple relationship still exists, and he cannot watch his former disciple being bullied without taking any action.
When the Turtle Saint Mother starts trouble, Tengtian will not intervene. But once she is in dire straits, Tengtian will definitely step in to interfere.
What is the point? Even sages don't necessarily follow logic.
Phoenix "swished swished" picked up the brush and wrote several military orders. Zhang Guofang, Ding Ce, Mei Bo, and other old subordinates acted in sequence. She needed to carefully plan it and try to keep Hao Tian in the forefront.
When Tengtian Taizhuo ignores martial ethics and draws the Qingping sword, she will push the "prime culprit" out there on her side.
"It's him!"
"It's him, it's him!"
"It was him who made me do it!"
The two-yielding, micro-dust array of Emei mountain was fully activated.
Deng Chanyu went even further to use the Chaos Bell as the focal point of the array. Cui Guang Liang Elegant Yin Yang Light, divided yin and yang, and Liang Tian Chisel arranged the surrounding mountains and rivers for her own use.
This array can't stop sages, but no one below the level of sages can enter.
If one insists on arguing, then it would be like Zhenyuanzi, a Quasi-Sage who has killed two beings. He could break the array by exploding his spirit essence and detonating his supreme primordial treasure and the "Book of Supreme Primordial Spirit". However, no one would be this mad. What is the grudge? To explode at my doorstep? Can I apologize to you instead?
