Chapter 289: Chapter 262 The Piece Falls into Place

Seeing the Qi Fortune of Tianzhu increase, everyone in the hall, aside from the Four Incompatibles, was very pleased.

Because the stronger the Human Race’s Qi Fortune, the greater the blessing of the power of the ruling Qi upon them, they paid no mind to the Four Incompatibles’ prideful demeanor.

Zhou Kao solemnly declared, "Our Western Cattle-Gift Continent is vast, and the Human Race has countless clan totems. Today, in the name of the human king of Tianzhu, I decree that the totems of the western Human Race shall enter Tianzhu, and those who disobey shall all be executed!"

Upon hearing this, ancestors like Kun Peng, the Mosquito Daoist, Po Xun, and others all understood the intent behind Zhou Kao’s move.

First, it was to increase the Qi Fortune of Tianzhu, and second was to use the decree to differentiate friend from foe.

The Yellow Brow Monster said, "Human King, the Niu Demon King has a close relationship with the Great Tang of the Eastern Land. Since he cannot be utilized by our Tianzhu, I am willing to take action to assist Tianzhu in eliminating the Niu Demon King."

Zhou Kao nodded in agreement, and ordered the Scorpion Spirit, the Hundred-Eye Demon Lord, and other Demon Kings to follow the Yellow Brow Monster’s commands, to join forces in eliminating the Niu Demon King, and also to help the Zhu Zi Nation conquer several kingdoms around the Mangniu clan.

A Demon King laughed and said, "The Mangniu clan is tens of thousands of miles away from the Great Tang, beyond the reach of their whip. Why need we all take action together?"

Many Demon Kings also viewed it this way.

Zhou Kao’s gaze turned fierce as he said in a deep voice, "The Niu Demon King has sworn brothers, seven in total, and Sun Wukong is among them. What if they all take action?"

The assembly of Demon Kings exchanged glances, no longer daring to take anything lightly.

At this moment, another guard came in to report, "Your Majesty, the South Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva requests an audience outside the hall."

The host of demons panicked at once, but seeing that the Supreme One Jia Ye, the elder disciple of Buddha, was also present, they were reassured, knowing that they now belonged to the same side.

After Guanyin entered, she said with a single hand raised in salutation, "The humble monk pays respects to the human king of Tianzhu."

Zhou Kao asked, "I have heard from the Supreme One Jia Ye that the human king of the Great Tang has appointed Golden Cicada as the supreme teacher and allowed you and Golden Cicada to propagate Buddhist Law in the Great Tang. If you are of service to the Great Tang, why have you come to Tianzhu today?"

"When have I ever been of service to the Great Tang?" Guanyin said with a smile, "Human King, your words are mistaken. All that this humble monk has done is solely for the flourishing of the Buddha Sect. Now that Tianzhu is determined to promote Buddhism, I have naturally come to offer my assistance."

Zhou Kao then asked, "What about Golden Cicada?"

Guanyin replied with a smile, "The Buddha child has returned to Mount Ling."

Zhou Kao’s expression remained unchanged as he pressed further, "Then what can you do for us?"

"Amitabha." Guanyin raised a single hand in salutation, chanted a Buddha’s name, and said, "The humble monk has a meditation center at the border between Ussang Country and the Great Tang.

There is also a golden fish in the pond at Mount Luojia, which is now being fostered in the Tongtian River, known as the True Lord of Inspired Sensation.

Plus, my steed Jinmao hui, already known as Sai Taishui, is cultivating on Qilin Mountain near the Zhu Zi Nation."

Zhou Kao’s face brightened with a smile, "Please take a seat, Bodhisattva."

So Guanyin and Jia Ye sat together, flanked by Yellow Brow, Great Peng, the Blue Lion, the White Elephant, and other spiritual beasts of the Buddha Sect, facing Kun Peng, the Mosquito Daoist, and a host of other demons.

"The humble monk has another matter to disclose," Guanyin continued, "The military forces of the Great Tang have recently been moving frequently, mainly gathering at the western borders, possibly indicating an intention to advance westward. The Human King should make early preparations.

If the Great Tang conquers Ussang Country, the Elephant Country, and the Kingdom of Uchi, then they will connect with the Niu Demon King’s Mangniu clan, and we Western Cattle-Gift Continent will lose half of our territories."

Before Zhou Kao could reply, Jia Ye smiled first, "The Bodhisattva speaks sensibly, but the Human King has already mentioned this point, and I have also made early plans."

Zhou Kao also smiled, "Since the Bodhisattva has a meditation center in Ussang Country and a golden fish fostering in Tongtian River, we will also ask for the Bodhisattva’s full support when the time comes."

Guanyin nodded slightly in agreement.

...

Mount Ling, the Great Thunder Monastery.

After returning from the Great Tang, Golden Cicada went straight to the back hall to seek an audience with Buddha, only to find that Ancient Buddha Dipankara was also there.

He saluted, "Disciple pays respects to Buddha and to Ancient Buddha."

Disguised as Buddha, Luo Hou smiled and asked, "Why have you returned instead of propagating the Buddhist Law in the Great Tang?"

Golden Cicada replied, "With Tianzhu and the Great Tang at odds, everyone knows that Tianzhu is upheld by the Buddha Sect as the ruling Qi of the Human Way. How could I have the face to stay in the Great Tang?"

Luo Hou burst into laughter, "Haha, the conflict between Tianzhu and the Great Tang is a contest of Qi Fortune and has nothing to do with our Buddha Sect. Moreover, you are good friends with Sun Wukong; surely no one would obstruct you from propagating the Buddhist Law in the Great Tang."

Golden Cicada’s demeanor showed firm resolve, "Buddha, as a man who has renounced the world, I have already severed all emotions and desires, focusing solely on practicing Buddhist Law and dedicating myself to its spread,

Now that Tianzhu is determined to promote Buddhism, I must return to assist. How can I serve an enemy nation?"

Luo Hou nodded lightly, "In that case, you may stay on Mount Ling for now and descend the mountain when Tianzhu requires your assistance."

Before leaving, Golden Cicada asked, "Buddha, when Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva went with me to the Great Tang, he was supposed to propagate Buddhist Law alongside me,

but since he returned to Mount Ling a hundred years ago, I haven’t seen him since. Do you know where he is now?"

Luo Hou spoke slowly, "A hundred years ago, when I was cultivating on Great Snow Mountain, Moluo disturbed my Buddha mind with the Calamitous Black Lotus,

and Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva swallowed both me and Moluo to save me, not expecting that the Black Lotus would take root and cause rampant calamity.

Later, when I broke out from its belly, I named Kong Xuan as the Mother of Buddha and commanded A Yinaifan to extract the Calamitous Black Lotus from her.

However, I did not anticipate that A Yinaifan would betray me for Moluo, allowing him to use the Power of Nirvana to transform and greatly increase his cultivation. Moluo then took away both Kong Xuan and A Yinaifan, and since then, their whereabouts are unknown."

This matter was no secret on Mount Ling, so Luo Hou did not conceal it and told the entire story.

However, Golden Cicada, who had been propagating Buddhist Law in the Great Tang, was hearing of this incident for the first time. Keeping Sun Wukong’s reminder in mind, he thought it over carefully, but did not find any issues with what Buddha had said.
