Chapter 286: Chapter 261: The Struggle for Destiny and Chan Teaching’s Assistance to the West

At this moment, the expanded cabinet meeting of the Great Han was still in session, with ministers discussing the details of the westward advance of the four armies and deducing the potential problems they might encounter.

Wukong, however, was looking toward the West. The moment Western Heaven began amassing destiny, he had sensed it and had been paying close attention to the movements there.

His gaze spanned the vast void, observing the dispersion of Western Heaven’s destiny when it manifested as a peacock and then switched to Kun Peng as its totem before flying straight towards the Eastern lands.

"Is this a declaration of war?" A flash of divine light shone in Sun Wukong’s eyes, laced with some confusion.

Firstly, why did the peacock, serving as Western Heaven’s totem of destiny, disperse?

In the past, the Great Han had already decreed the Phoenix clan to be the totem of the Human Race. As the offspring of the Yuan Feng, the peacock certainly qualified to be the totem of destiny for Western Heaven.

Could it be true as online friends have speculated, that Zhou Kao is the reincarnation of the Demon God Bo Yikao, thus not tolerated by the moral path? And only after promising the Heavenly Dao to greatly promote the Buddha Sect was he able to establish destiny?

Secondly, where did Western Heaven get the courage to not only not show weakness but also to dare to declare war actively?

If it weren’t for the fact that the moral path had already manifested and that the Great Han’s inventions and technologies had spread to the West, how could Western Heaven so easily be promoted to a dynasty of destiny with just its own foundation?

Soon, under the gaze of all sides in the Three Realms, the immense totem of destiny, Kun Peng, with its shocking might, traversed one hundred and eight thousand li to arrive in the Eastern lands.

Liu Xiu had long been aware of it, but he remained very calm, still watching the ministers’ discussion.

When the totem of destiny Kun Peng approached Chang’an, many civil and military officials also felt its powerful might.

Everyone turned to look West, noticing the enormous beast releasing blinding golden light and a deep abyss of a mouth that seemed capable of devouring everything.

What followed was Zhou Kao’s declaration of war.

"I am Zhou Kao, King of the Western Heaven. Today, I declare the promotion of Buddhism, whereas the Great Han disrespects Buddha, and even repeatedly annihilates it, an act against Heavenly Dao and morality! Since Western Heaven is now the dynasty of morality and takes it upon itself to promote Buddhism, today I declare war on the Great Han!"

Seeing this beast and hearing these words, some lower-cultivation civil officials immediately became panicky and tense.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Lu Bu, on the other hand, remained unfazed because they noticed that their King remained composed, and besides, the Ancestral Martial was there.

As expected, Liu Xiu rebuked, "What’s the panic? What is there to fear from the barbaric lands of the West?"

Reassured, the ministers relaxed.

"Heh heh," chuckled Sun Wukong on the side, watching the spectacle with a sense of amusement, not intending to interfere.

Because he had done enough already. If the Great Han couldn’t handle Western Heaven, then his two hundred years of planning would have been a great failure.

The next moment, the totem of destiny Kun Peng arrived above Chang’an.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the massive creature spread its wings, shadowing the sky, and opened its abyssal maw to snatch the destiny of the Great Han.

Just then, countless destinies converged above Chang’an, rapidly forming into a five-clawed golden dragon.

It seemed much smaller than Western Heaven’s destiny Kun Peng, but it was more solidified and full of spirituality.

At this moment, Zhou Kao’s gaze followed the destiny Kun Peng to the Eastern lands, his look cold: "Let’s see just how big the gap is!"

This was a declaration of war and also a test.

The Great Han had risen to a dynasty of destiny for over a hundred years and was undoubtedly stronger than Western Heaven’s destiny, but just how much stronger was still unknown.

Boom!

Above Chang’an, the immense maw of destiny Kun Peng lunged downward, while the five-clawed golden dragon whipped its tail, proactively engaging, entangling the huge body of Kun Peng.

Kun Peng couldn’t dodge and had a cluster of destiny forcefully torn away by the dragon’s claws.

"Roar!" The five-clawed golden dragon let out a heaven-piercing roar as it devoured a cluster of destiny.

The victor was immediately clear!

Zhou Kao’s expression changed dramatically from far away in Western Heaven. Was the gap really this wide?

In his view, Western Heaven had united with countries from all ten directions of Jambu-Dvipa, many of which were stronger than the nations of the former Great Shang and Great Zhou.

Now unified under one nation, at the height of its national strength, even if weaker than the Great Han, the gap shouldn’t be this vast!

At that moment, Liu Xiu emerged from the imperial palace, followed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Lu Bu, and other civil and military officials.

It could be seen that Liu Xiu, dressed in the imperial regalia, was bathed in a rich golden light and exuded great might.

Not only that, but all those civil and military officials were also enveloped in the golden light of destiny, with the four country dukes being the most prominent.

Zhou Kao’s expression turned grave; the destiny of the Great Han was overwhelmingly stronger than he had imagined.

Compared to the golden-lit Liu Xiu, he, the King of Western Heaven, seemed like a fake.

In fact, he even doubted whether Liu Xiu had obtained strength close to that of a Quasi-Saint under the empowerment of the dynasty of destiny!

At that moment, Liu Xiu cast his gaze westward as if looking through the distance at Zhou Kao.

He proclaimed with a commanding tone, "Western Heaven, a barbaric nation, overestimates itself and dares covet the great lands of the East,

As King Liu Xiu of the Great Han, hereby I declare to the world, those who dare breach our powerful Han shall be pursued, no matter how far!"

The last phrase was the words of Chen Tang over two hundred years before when he petitioned the Emperor during his campaign in the Western Regions.

Hearing this, many civil and military officials were still boiling with enthusiasm.

For instance, Cao Cao, who had always striven to emulate his ancestors, it was only a pity that the Western Regions had long become part of the Great Han.

Now, as the Great Han was set to advance into Jambu-Dvipa, it was Cao Cao who was the most excited.

He and the ministers together shouted loudly, "Though far away, they shall be pursued and punished!"

As they chanted, countless moral destinies surged out from the palace of the Great Han like towering waves, roaring out to all directions, quickly covering the entire Southern Continent.
