Chapter 566 Trying to rise to power by stepping on the Heavenly Court?
The atmosphere of the Peach Banquet reached an unprecedented climax due to the arrival of the Dao Ancestor and the bestowal of treasures.
Chen Changsheng stood in the main hall, surrounded by stars, enjoying boundless glory.
Zhen Yuanzi, Styx Ancestor, Yu the Great, and other great supernatural beings all greeted him with smiles and frequently raised their cups.
The immortals of the Jie Sect were overjoyed, with Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming among them grinning from ear to ear.
however!
Amidst the laughter and joy, however, a few gazes held a deep gloom.
In the Western seats.
Looking at Chen Changsheng, who was surrounded by immortals, Zhunti Daoist's jealousy and resentment were almost tangible.
His Western religion was impoverished, and his disciples were humiliated at the South Heavenly Gate.
He wanted to use the power of the sage to get back at the enemy, but he was repeatedly humiliated by the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Dao Ancestor.
Now, not only has Chen Changsheng escaped punishment, but he has also become a protector of the Xuanmen sect and obtained the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme treasure!
How could he possibly swallow this insult?
Zhunti Daoist's eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.
He picked up the jade cup in front of him and suddenly stood up.
"May Buddha have mercy."
A single Buddhist chant, though not loud, carries the unique Taoist charm of a sage.
It instantly pierced through the clamor within the Lingxiao Palace, silencing everyone.
All the immortals and gods turned their heads to look at this Western saint, wondering what kind of demon he was about to unleash.
The Taoist Zhunti wore his signature compassionate smile.
He looked at Haotian on the imperial throne, and then swept his gaze over the assembled saints.
"Today's Peach Banquet is a grand event in the primordial world, with all the saints and immortals gathered together."
"Since you are all so happy, it would be a bit monotonous to just drink and make merry."
"How about we have our disciples take to the stage for a duel, a friendly exchange of magical techniques, to liven things up?"
This statement came out.
The atmosphere inside the Lingxiao Palace instantly became subtle.
A battle of wits to add to the excitement?
That sounds nice, but who doesn't know what kind of evil schemes this Western saint is harboring?
This is clearly an attempt to use the pretext of a magical contest to suppress the Heavenly Court and, incidentally, humiliate the Jie Sect!
After all, Chen Changsheng is now a law enforcement deity of the Heavenly Court and a protector of the Xuanmen.
If we can defeat him in a battle of magic, or defeat other disciples of the Heavenly Court and the Jie Sect.
The glory bestowed by the Dao Ancestor would naturally be greatly diminished.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat on his holy throne, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He was just looking for an opportunity to suppress the arrogant arrogance of the Jie Sect.
Now that Zhunti has taken the initiative to propose it, it's exactly what he wanted.
"good."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, his voice authoritative and leaving no room for doubt.
"We disciples of the Chan Sect have always diligently cultivated the Great Dao, and we can take this opportunity to learn a thing or two from our fellow practitioners."
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader let out a cold laugh.
Why would he be afraid of such a challenge?
The Jie Sect has countless immortals paying homage, and what it lacks least is disciples who can fight!
"OK!"
"Since both Second Senior Brother and Fellow Daoist Zhunti are in such high spirits, our Jie Sect will naturally oblige!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader raised an eyebrow, and the Qingping Sword on the table emitted a clear sword sound.
"Let me see just how much progress your disciples have made!"
The Supreme Lord sat in the head seat, his expression still serene and indifferent.
He slightly opened his eyes and looked at his junior brothers, who were full of fighting spirit.
"Since you all share this intention, let's stop here and not ruin the harmony."
The Supreme Being's words can be considered a tacit agreement.
Haotian sat on the imperial throne, taking in the reactions of all the saints.
He let out a cold laugh in his heart.
Do these saints really think that Heaven is a pushover, something they can bully at will?
Are they trying to use a magical duel to suppress the prestige of the Heavenly Court?
Unfortunately, they miscalculated!
The Heavenly Court now has Chen Changsheng as its trump card!
With this Xuanmen protector in charge, it's not certain who will suppress whom!
Haotian's expression remained unchanged; instead, he revealed a gentle smile.
"Since you sages have such an interest, I will naturally not spoil your enjoyment."
"However, since it's a contest of magic, wouldn't it be less interesting without some kind of prize?"
Haotian, going with the flow, directly proposed a prize.
Want to rise to power by stepping on the Heavenly Court? Then you'd better leave something behind!
Upon hearing this, all the sages were slightly taken aback.
Clearly, no one expected that Haotian would dare to ask for a prize.
However, a sage values face above all else, and since things have come to this point, he naturally cannot back down.
The Supreme Sage smiled faintly and waved his sleeve.
A pill, exuding a rich fragrance and gleaming with golden light, slowly floated down to the center of the main hall.
"I will offer this Eight-Turn Golden Pill as a prize."
Eight-stage Golden Elixir!
This is a supreme elixir, second only to the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!
Those below the Great Luo Golden Immortal level can break through to the next level by consuming it, while Great Luo Golden Immortals can save themselves from several eons of arduous cultivation!
The immortals looked at the golden pill with burning desire in their eyes.
Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, not to be outdone.
He flicked his finger, and a drop of water, exuding a hazy gray aura and weighing as much as a thousand pounds, floated in mid-air.
"This is the water of chaos, which can cleanse the physical body and refine the primordial spirit."
Chaotic waters!
This is a rare and precious treasure that can only be seen in the primordial world!
Seeing this, Daoist Zhunti felt a pang of heartache, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the things.
He reached into his robe and groped around for a while.
Finally, he took out a bead covered with Bodhi patterns that emitted a pure Buddhist light.
"These are Bodhi seeds, which can help people attain enlightenment and resist inner demons."
Zhunti Daoist gritted his teeth and said, his heart bleeding.
The Tongtian Sect Leader was the most generous. He laughed heartily and threw out a magical artifact that shimmered with innate spiritual light.
"I'll offer this low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Heart-Piercing Lock!"
The four sages each brought out priceless prizes.
The sage Nuwa remained seated, her expression gentle, and shook her head slightly.
"I only have Yang Chan under my tutelage, and her cultivation is still shallow, so she will not participate in this battle."
Since Nuwa didn't participate, the others naturally didn't force her.
Haotian looked at the four treasures floating in the center of the hall and nodded in satisfaction.
He stood up and his gaze swept across the entire room.
"The stakes have been set. Now, which outstanding student would be willing to be the one to throw out the bait and take the lead?"
Haotian had just finished speaking.
The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became tense and heated.
All eyes were on the positions of the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and the Western Sect.
Who will step forward first?
Just now.
From the Western Sect's seats, a figure clad in a moon-white monk's robe, with a resolute face, slowly stood up.
He clasped his hands together and strode to the center of the main hall.
"Amitabha."
"Ananda, a disciple of the Western Sect, wishes to learn from the esteemed masters of the East!"
Ananda stood in the center of the Lingxiao Palace, his body radiating a faint Buddhist light.
Although he clasped his hands together, appearing respectful, his slightly raised chin revealed an undisguised arrogance.
He unleashed his cultivation at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm without reservation.
The golden Buddhist light collided with the celestial energy of the Heavenly Court, producing a series of deep rumbles.
In Western Buddhism, apart from a handful of people like Ksitigarbha, Ananda is definitely one of the most outstanding disciples.
He stood up today to avenge his previous humiliation!
Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the Western Religion lost face.
