Chapter 1190: Chapter 726: Today, the Monk Shall Ferry the Divine Monarch

“`html

“You’ve arrived.”

The old monk slowly lifted his eyelids, his voice like the grinding of metal, causing an instinctive frown.

“By the order of the Pure World Venerable, I have come to relieve the True God’s worries.”

The Eight Extremes Valley was quite special, so Shen Yi had not brought Master Zhi Kong inside and also did not recognize who the Bodhisattva in front of him was. Speaking less meant fewer mistakes, so he simply explained his purpose.

Upon hearing the word ‘relieve,’ the old monk subtly curled his lips without much superfluous talk and went straight to the point: “The three Great Demons led by the Southern Emperor suffered a great loss at Songfeng Prefecture. In just one battle, eight entire Fourth Grade Demon Immortals fell. Are you aware of this?”

“I’ve heard about it.”

Shen Yi’s expression remained calm.

Upon hearing these words, he had a rough idea of the Bodhi Sect’s intentions.

“As long as you know.”

The old monk clicked his tongue, calmly said, “After this incident, those three Great Demons severed their ties with our sect, hiding behind to take advantage without making any effort.”

“The Pure World Bodhisattva is compassionate, willing to give them another chance.”

“Not only intends to make up for their losses but to compensate even more… this is the purpose of our coming here.”

Hearing this, Shen Yi still did not show any difference: “How do you plan to compensate them?”

“In the Eight Extremes Valley, there are two Third Grade Demon Venerables. I have already spoken with one, to help it leave this bitter place. However, since you are here, you might be able to depart with both of them.”

The old monk’s words were without any disguise.

Perhaps there were still disciples in the Bodhi Sect who were unaware and puzzled about the changing relations with the Divine Dynasty, but this definitely did not include the former Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Bright King, now the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, who once slaughtered widely outside North Flow River.

Indeed, there was no trace of surprise in Shen Yi’s eyes, only a more serious look: “What about the True God?”

“Originally, the Pure World Bodhisattva granted me a Buddha Treasure, intending to accomplish this quietly.”

The old monk unhurriedly spread his palm, revealing a puppet lying in the left hand, and a rusty needle pinched between the right fingers. Most of a face had already been embroidered on the puppet’s back: “But now that the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva is assisting, it may not be so troublesome and can be handled directly upfront.”

Even though he had anticipated it, when he truly heard these words, Shen Yi fell silent for a moment.

He had thought that after successive setbacks, the Three Religions would still target the Divine Dynasty, and their methods would surely be much more brutal than before.

But he still did not expect that these monks would dare to target the True God Sect!

The embodiment of Heavenly Dao, the rightful master of the Immortal Court.

This group of True Gods had existed since the heavens and earth first opened, with the other two sects merely assisting.

Now it seemed that the Bodhi Sect’s ambition was beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

“Since it’s the Heavenly Dao Order incarnate and unwilling to partake in trivial matters, then it shouldn’t occupy the position. The Heavenly Law, when put bluntly, is just an item. As an item, it should be held by someone.”

The old monk noticed Shen Yi’s surprise, his smile carrying a bit more arrogance: “No need to worry, the so-called rebirth from a drop of blood also takes time. Once they revive, the overall situation will be set, the disaster over, and by then, even if the heavens are high, our sect will be higher than the heavens. What is there to fear?”

Assisting?

When the Qi Refiners and Walkers were still exploring the path, they naturally could only do chores for these True Gods.

But as time passed, now even the Three Hierarchs of the Three Religions have penetrated the Heavenly Dao, three Buddhas have seen through the mundane, of the six among them, two have already taken the step beyond the limit.

In contrast, the True Gods remain the same as before, showing no progress.

It’s time to change this position.

“…”

Shen Yi watched silently as the old monk grinned broadly. After a while, he gently chuckled.

“The Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva probably knows about the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva.”

The old monk finally stepped down from the treetop, speaking word by word: “Since that Bodhisattva fell, this great disaster has become different. Perhaps you and I, who once thought we could watch from the sidelines, might also lose our lives one day. If so, why not act with some abandon?”

“That Immortal Emperor position might bring some constraints, but after all… it’s First Rank, enjoying the heavens forever.”

The former Third Grade Experts were all calculating their abacuses.

Due to the overly long Lifespan Years, getting involved in the calamity is actually quite unworthy.

After all, no matter who wins or loses, once that Human Emperor is replaced, the long-accumulated resources of the Divine Dynasty will definitely be distributed according to seating and merit.

They only need to take advantage of this abundant Emperor’s Aura to step into the Second Rank, achieving immortality beyond the Five Elements, and then slowly explore the path towards the First Rank.

Perhaps slower, but it is safe and free.

But the fall of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva shattered these thoughts.

Even as the Daluo Immortal, as Bodhisattvas, they could indeed die. As long as the calamity continues, there will be no safety without worries. In such risky circumstances, rather than being forced into troubled waters, it’s better to strike proactively and seize the initiative!

“The old monk’s Dharma name is Five Directions, came a few days early, and asks the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva to closely follow the old monk’s steps, do not wander.”

“After leaving, credit will be evenly split.”

The Five Directions Bodhisattva cast a deep glance before leading the way ahead.

“…”

Shen Yi’s gaze swept over the Buddha Treasure in the other’s hand, an ordinary-looking object exuding some dangerous aura.

It was evident that the Bodhi Sect did not fully trust him.

When it comes to matters involving the True God, a newly ascended Bodhisattva can hardly possess the right to act independently.

With that thought, Shen Yi quietly stepped forward to follow.

…

Eight Extremes Valley.

The ten-zhang tall Golden Body hung before the divine beings, as an Immortal General, Qinghua relied on the cleverness accumulated from humble beginnings to successfully take charge of investigating this Demon Suppression Land.
