"Tsk tsk tsk, that's ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, the Buddha simply uttered a Buddhist chant: "Amitabha, well done, well done!"
This matter is none of my concern, but as far as I know, it is related to the sage of that time.
After all, the disciples of the Chan Sect at that time were all entangled in karmic debts.
To survive the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, this cause and effect must be removed.
The younger generation under his tutelage became the main ones to face the calamity.
Among the entire third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect, only a handful managed to survive the calamity safely.
As for Nezha's situation, well... you've all seen it, Nezha has many treasures in his hands.
Even the treasure that guarded the cave was given to Nezha by Taiyi.
It was because he felt somewhat guilty; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out so many things.
The reason why Nezha encountered so many problems back then was mainly because he inherited the karma of Taiyi Zhenren.
Otherwise, given Nezha's situation, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
However, I never expected that you would have such a rare and precious treasure in your possession, which helped me break through the limitations.
Nezha's talent now can be considered to be of superior innate quality.
"They're even more powerful than the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen simply smiled and said:
"Hehe, just lucky, I happened to run into a lotus flower."
However, we don't need to talk about Nezha.
This time, the one destined to face this calamity is not Nezha, but that monkey.
Tell me, what are your Buddhist sect's plans?
Or rather, what are your plans, and what do you want to do?
"If you send this monkey to the bottom of that mountain to drink molten copper and eat iron pellets, don't blame me for taking action!"
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Hehe, it seems this matter has little to do with me!"
Although my Heavenly Court also participated in the Journey to the West, it was merely a participation.
As for this monkey, I quite like it. As for what to do with it, that's up to Fellow Daoist Tathagata!
However, upon hearing this, the Buddha remained silent for a moment before saying:
"You want to stop the Journey to the West?"
Jiang Zhen shook his head and said:
"Stop Journey to the West? Heh, I have no interest in that. Besides, I know a bit about Journey to the West."
All you want to do is take advantage of this journey to the west.
Using the merits of that Heavenly Dao, we can continue the ancestral lineage and, incidentally, suppress a portion of the demonic path.
However, isn't it a bit much to blame the monkey in this matter?
Upon hearing this, Buddha shook his head and said:
"What does Fellow Daoist wish to do?"
Jiang Zhen: "The monkey will continue to participate in the Journey to the West, however, without the need for suppression for five hundred years."
I will have him wait for the pilgrims to arrive at the Two Realms Mountain.
Also, you don't need that headband you're wearing anymore.
This monkey is still quite sensible; as long as the monk doesn't cause trouble, the monkey will naturally ensure he reaches the Western Paradise.
Upon hearing this, Buddha shook his head and said:
"No, this monkey is restless. If it is not restrained, it will surely cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhen chuckled and said:
"Hehe, it seems that neither of us can convince the other."
Since that's the case, let's have a competition and see what you're capable of.
If you can beat me, then you can have whatever you want with the monkey.
If I wake up, then things will have to go my way, okay?
Upon hearing this, Buddha remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said:
Jiang Zhen: "We are both quite strong. If we really start fighting..."
It would take at least a thousand or eight hundred years for a victor to emerge.
Now that the Journey to the West is about to begin, let's not do too many troublesome things.
How about we settle this with one move between the two of us?
Upon hearing this, Buddha smiled slightly, then nodded emphatically and said:
Jiang Zhen: "Then let's fight in the stars!"
After saying that, a flash of light appeared on Jiang Zhen's body, and then he disappeared from the spot.
Upon seeing this, the Buddha showed a look of surprise:
"The laws of space, such powerful laws of space!"
After saying this, Tathagata transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the spot. On the other side, the Jade Emperor also glanced at it in surprise and then followed.
Soon, in the boundless starry sky, Jiang Zhen stood in the void, quietly looking at the Tathagata before him.
"Buddha, please!"
The Buddha nodded, and then, Buddhist chants resounded all around him, golden flowers bloomed, and then, Buddhist light shone everywhere.
Suddenly, a gigantic figure appeared behind him—a huge golden Buddha statue.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen said with some surprise:
"Is this the sixteen-foot golden body? It's truly extraordinary!"
However, at this moment, the Buddha statue was seen continuously forming mudras with its hands, and then the Tathagata was chanting incantations.
The five elements and yin and yang transformations appeared all over his body, constantly converging towards the right hand of the sixteen-foot golden body.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen raised an eyebrow and said:
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are truly remarkable. The five elements and yin and yang have converged to create a world."
Buddhist disciples chanted scriptures throughout the world, their voices resounding—what a grand gesture, what a remarkable method!
This strength, wow, it's really something else.
A world in the palm of your hand, a Buddhist kingdom in the palm of your hand, the five elements converge—amazing, amazing!
However, at that moment, Buddha smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, take this move from me: the Tathagata Palm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sixteen-foot-tall golden body directly struck down towards Jiang Zhen with a palm.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Jiang Zhen smiled and said:
"Hehe, interesting, really interesting, has the space been sealed off?"
Is this to prevent me from using spatial laws to escape?
"But Buddha, you're underestimating me far too much!"
After saying that, Jiang Zhen trembled, and then his true form appeared.
With Jiang Zhen's roar, the spatial blockade was instantly broken.
However, Jiang Zhen laughed and said:
"Hahaha, Buddha, don't worry, I won't run away. Since Buddha has made his move, I'll make my move too."
After saying that, Jiang Zhen clenched his right fist, and immediately, space and time converged above, and domineering power surged out continuously.
"Break for me..."
With a roar, Jiang Zhen threw a punch.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, a terrifying, domineering, and violent energy surged forth in all directions from the starry sky.
In an instant, all the dead stars around them turned into dust.
The Jade Emperor also showed a surprised expression after seeing this scene.
Chapter 788 The Jade Emperor Invites Jiang Zhen to Battle!
"Rumble..."
With a deafening roar, a terrifying force, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, swept out in all directions.
Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor frowned slightly, then waved his hand, and instantly, the shattered stars began to recover.
The violent aftershocks also disappeared.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhen and Tathagata were not present.
After all, the Jade Emperor is one of the strongest people at this point in time.
Without a sage present, no one dares to say they can definitively defeat the Jade Emperor.
Therefore, the shockwave generated by their collision was nothing to the Jade Emperor.
As the two collided, the Buddha's golden body, standing sixteen feet tall, was revealed.
The Buddha-land in his right palm began to crack, and then the cracks spread towards his right hand.
