Chapter 288: Chapter 261: The Struggle for Destiny and Chan Teaching’s Assistance to the West_3

Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao Fairy were both at the Jin Ling Holy Mother’s place.

When they saw Kun Peng had become the Destiny Totem of Tianzhu, their reactions, like Master Zhenyuanzi’s, were to rush to Tianzhu immediately and slay the demonic master Kun Peng.

For they were the creatures born from the cloud left by Ancestor Hongyun and had already undertaken this cause and effect.

Moreover, they had always been dissatisfied with the West!

But Jin Ling Holy Mother stopped them, saying the time was not ripe yet.

After hearing their elder sister’s words, the four siblings suppressed their killing intent.

When they saw the Golden Dragon of the Han Dynasty crush Tianzhu’s Destiny Totem Kun Peng, Zhao Gongming burst into laughter, thoroughly delighted.

However, seeing the Southern Extremity Longevity Star enter with the Saint’s Heavenly Orders, Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao Fairy were both indignant.

"Shameless!"

...

No matter how the various parties in the Three Realms saw it, by this time the Han Dynasty was filled with jubilation throughout.

Like two generals clashing in front of their troops, the victory of the Destiny Totem bolstered the confidence of the Han Dynasty’s civil and military officials and the general populace alike.

The situation in Western Heaven’s Tianzhu, however, was the opposite.

Within the Tianzhu Royal Palace, civil and military officials mostly wore worried expressions. Although they could not see the events happening in the Eastern lands, they could feel the decline of Destiny, sharing their country’s sorrow.

Kun Peng Ancestor, Mosquito Daoist, Po Xun, and others however saw the situation clearly: Zhou Kao’s action was not only testing the Han Dynasty’s strength, but also probing the attitude of the Heavenly Dao.

Now that the probing was done, the Chan Teaching that went along with the Heavenly Dao had directly chosen to support Tianzhu!

After seeing the situation clearly, everyone couldn’t help but admire Zhou Kao for daring to take such a gamble.

For they knew that if Tianzhu’s Destiny Totem Kun Peng was swallowed by the Han Dynasty’s Golden Dragon, then Tianzhu’s newly upgraded national fate would plummet back down, once again becoming an ordinary dynasty.

But Zhou Kao won his gambling. Although he lost some Destiny, he exchanged it for direct support from the Chan Teaching.

Jia Ye was concerned with the interests of the Buddha Sect, putting his palms together he said, "Amitabha, Your Majesty King of Men, now that Tianzhu has not yet unified the Western lands and there is still a gap with the Han Dynasty’s destiny, one must not be reckless any longer and should make plans slowly."

Zhou Kao nodded slightly, "Rest assured, I have my own sense of measure."

Jia Ye respected the face of the King of Men and said no more, but he was thinking in his heart that he must quickly complete the unification of Western Niu Hezhou.

A hundred years ago, the Buddha suddenly made a change and wanted to establish a unified Human Race dynasty in the West.

Since then, he had been acting on the Buddha’s orders, beginning to increase the introduction and promotion of the Han Dynasty’s various inventions and technologies, including martial arts, which had also been implemented in many kingdoms.

Over the past hundred and more years, although the execution of various kingdoms was not as strong as the Han Dynasty, there was still a significant increase in national strength, with population and industries growing stronger.

Moreover, with his great promotion of the Buddhist Law, the faith in the West had gradually unified, and most kingdoms had established many temples with countless followers.

Therefore, only today could Tianzhu easily become a nation with Destiny.

As the saying goes, those before plant the trees, those after enjoy the shade.

The Han Dynasty’s Manifestation of Human Dao and withstand of the heavenly punishment opened a path for a Human Race nation with Destiny, allowing for today’s opportunity in the West.

Zhou Kao clearly also knew he had to complete the unification quickly; he looked at his ministers and numerous powerhouses and said in a deep voice, "Currently, only forty percent of the Western lands are actual territories of Tianzhu,

Not long ago, countries like Jisai Country, Western Liang Women Country, Gaochang Country, and Yutuo Country, misled by the Wild Ox clan, refused to submit, and must be conquered!

Further afield, countries like Ussang Country, Elephant Country, Wujiguo, and Chariot Country lean towards Tianzhu, even though the journeys are long, it’s necessary to dispatch people to stay, to fend off the Eastern lands, and as a foothold for the future conquest of the Han Dynasty!"

No sooner had these words fallen than Jia Ye confidently said, "King of Men, the four nations close to the Eastern lands are guarded by natural barriers like Yellow Wind Ridge, Flowing Sand River, Tongtian River, and also many temples of my Buddha Sect, fearing not the Han Dynasty’s advancement westward."

Zhou Kao then asked, "Are there any occupants at these natural barriers?"

Jia Ye smiled slightly, "Everything is under control."

Zhou Kao nodded, ready to say more when suddenly a guard came in with great shock to report, "Your Majesty, a talking divine beast has arrived outside the palace; he claims to be the mount of a Chan Teaching Saint and has come to pay respects to Your Majesty."

"Let him come in," Zhou Kao said, a flash of brilliance in his eyes; this was an old acquaintance.

Jia Ye said nothing; it was all good if the Chan Teaching was willing to support Tianzhu, no matter the reason.

Soon, a four-hoofed divine beast with a proud step entered the great hall, the very Kylin’s only direct descendant, Si Buxiang.

Unlike people such as Kun Peng Ancestor, Mosquito Daoist, and Scorpion Spirit, who appeared in human form, Si Buxiang didn’t plan to become a human at all. He looked up at Zhou Kao above and asked, "You are the King of Tianzhu?"

Zhou Kao replied with a smile, "King of Men."

Si Buxiang raised his head even higher, "I don’t care what kind of king you are; the Saint has ordered me to become your mount and protect you thoroughly. It’s your fate and Protection."

All could hear the divine beast’s tone filled with arrogance.

Zhou Kao was not angered but smiled again, "You are the son of the Kylin and the current king of the Qilin race, while the Qilin is now the Totem of the Human Race. Would your Qilin race be willing to enter my Tianzhu?"

Si Buxiang was clearly stunned, being caught off guard, or rather hesitant, and hesitancy meant his heart was not quite willing.

Suddenly his ears twitched, as if hearing some voice, he then snorted loudly with displeasure, "The Qilin race is in decline, with few members left; my presence in Tianzhu is as if the entire Qilin race were here."

Boom!

As his words finished, a large surge of Human Race Destiny emerged from the void, merging into the Destiny Totem above Tianzhu Royal City.

The Destiny Kun Peng that had just fled back from the Eastern lands immediately received replenishment, no longer looking pitiful, becoming fiercer and more powerful.

"Dammit," Si Buxiang was even more displeased.

Unlike the Dragon Race, which suffered generation after generation, the Qilin race’s sins had already been cleared by his father, the Kylin, after the cataclysm of the Dragon and Phoenix.

And since the Qilin was considered a future sacred beast, it had amassed a great deal of Destiny; now it all cheaply benefited these dogs of Tianzhu!

But it was the Saint’s command, and he had to obey.
