Chapter 708: Chapter 592: Mysterious Golden Hook Formation, Confused Fish Swallowing Bait

Nine Heavens Mysterious Realm troops arrayed in formation, vermilion gates and golden nails with jade steps in rows.

Outside the Heavenly Gate, brilliant dawn light shimmered in the sky, and emerald mists veiled the Big Dipper.

Two towering figures, seemingly tall enough to compete with the heavens themselves, sat cross-legged upon the auspicious clouds, radiant with Immortal Light, as if they could tread the ground to split mountains, stretching their hands to capture stars and moons.

One of them appeared entirely forged of gold, with a "All" character at his chest, benevolent in visage, with a flesh bun atop his head.

His body displayed [Golden Body], [Eyes Blue-Black in Color], [Forty Teeth Likeness], [Lion-Like Stature]...all thirty-two marks of the Buddha and eighty excellent signs in full.

The other wore a Golden Armor that shone like the sun, a Dharma Crown reaching to the heavens, holding an Azure Dragon Spear, with a third eye on his forehead, imposing and majestic, a divine light in his eyes scanning the three realms.

These two were none other than the Buddha and Lord Ma, two of the fifteen Corpse Dissection Immortals from the Nine Soldiers, who were also in charge of this shift.

Merely sitting there, the two Corpse Dissection Immortals provided unparalleled security to the patrolling Heavenly Soldiers and Generals around them.

Even the capricious and wild things that dashed about like madmen in the thirty-three layers above seemed trivial now.

Merely sitting there meditating for long periods was somewhat dull.

Lord Ma pointed to the Mortal World below the clouds and spoke to his colleague,

"This time, the progress of the All Living Beings Tribulation has been swift; in just a year, the situation now hints at a division of Heaven by King Jing Army, All Appearances Dao, and No-Life Dao.

Each has occupied Yunjing, West Capital, and Tianjing, all strategic key locations in Red County Shenzhou, capitals of former dynasties, respectively of the Four Dynasties, Thirteen Dynasties, and Six Dynasties.

The remnant influence of the dynasties is quite substantial."

Yan State, Yu State, Dai State, Yong State, and Huai State have all found their masters.

In the other four states, No-Life Dao has marched into Qiongzhou and Jiangzhou, All Appearances Dao has marched into Junzhou, and Taishang in Liangzhou, overseeing with the Dragon Elephant Dao.

The situation in Divine Land should soon become clear.

It’s just uncertain how long this tripartite stand-off will last."

The Buddha lifted his eyelids slightly and responded,

"Even as the situation remains unsettled, those with clear sight using the Dharma Eye can already discern some clues.

The King Jing Army, with full support from Taishang, has the most formidable momentum and the strongest sustainability.

The longer the time drags on, the more advantageous it is for King Jing and Taishang.

At this moment, if they are of sound mind, All Appearances Dao and No-Life Dao would surely conspire, attacking like mad dogs at this great enemy.

A fierce battle is likely to break out within the year."

They overlooked the Mortal World from atop the Heavenly Gate.

The competing forces on the ground appeared like dragons, entwined in combat.

The soaring rage and malevolent energies almost shook the clouds.

Even the high and mighty Immortals, if careless, could be dragged down from the clouds by the endless Human Willpower and Causality Debt.

Even if they disapproved of certain developments in Human Dao, they could only comment casually, daring not to meddle lightly.

As they talked, the Buddha’s tone suddenly became somewhat thrilled.

"Taking the initiative to enter into the tribulation is risky, but the rewards are also tremendous.

Should we successfully support the Dragon Court this time, utilizing the uprising Human Dao Torrent and the budding fortunes of the dynasty, Taishang might also have a chance to stand among us.

When he arrives, we might finally be able to relax a bit."

Perhaps getting carried away, even the normally placid Buddha’s face showed waves of emotion, revealing his inner bitterness:

"How bitter it is, they say we fifteen alternate turns, but who doesn’t know? Our brothers are on duty everyday, never having a single day of rest."

A pair of blue-black Dharma Eyes glanced down towards the direction of Immortal Mist Island in the East Sea.

"Alas, having endured this for so long, what use do I have for this iron stick..."

"Cough, cough!"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the urgent coughing of Lord Ma.

Although only the two Corpse Dissection Immortals could hear this sound transmission, discussing such a major secret regarding the fifteen Corpse Dissection Immortals’ identities was still better left unspoken.

The Buddha, or rather, the Corpse Dissection Immortal disguised as the Buddha, hastily regained control over his expression, restoring the solemn visage he had feigned.

He continued muttering softly,

"The Supreme Old Man really is clueless, always smiling and flicking flowers, I’ve nearly stiffened my face from the smile.

I don’t care, whoever wants to be a monk can go be one, I must definitely swap with someone else someday."

At that moment, with the Heavenly Eye observing the Mortal World, both Corpse Dissection Immortals exclaimed suddenly, looking towards the Tianjing City occupied by No-Life Dao.

There, amidst decorations and celebrations, it seemed a ceremony was taking place.

But with their Great Divine Power, they clearly heard someone shouting:

"It’s bad, Lord Green Lotus Ming King has passed away again!"

...

Yunjing, Imperial City, within a palace hall that had remained intact from last year’s tribulation.

Dressed in a Taoist Robe, with disheveled hair following the completion of the Defamation Technique, Wang Yuan slowly opened his blue-black eyes.

In front of him, on a Dharma Altar, a straw man with a yellow band tied around it spontaneously combusted, instantly turning into ashes.

Yet his face did not reveal much joy; rather, it showed fluctuations of uncertainty:

"My sister’s Human Tribulation was him, my mother-in-law’s Human Tribulation was still him, sure enough, it’s you, Zhou Wenrui!

Good people don’t live long, yet troublemakers linger for a thousand years."

This scum not only survived that sickness last year but somehow also managed to align himself with the Ming King at some point."

Not only did he become the ruler of a dynasty once more, but he also developed a demeanor capable of troubling the world, the [Chaotic Pupil Qiu Dragon Likeness].
