Chapter 382 Hongjun: Jieyin and Zhunti, you shall descend to the mortal realm to eliminate demons on my behalf!
Reading Settings
At this moment, Hongjun Laozu had no idea that Yin Zicheng was treating him as a tool to amuse himself.
If Hongjun Laozu knew, he would probably be furious.
After all, he was the Dao Ancestor who spread the Dao in this world, an unparalleled being representing the Dao of Heaven.
In the world of Journey to the West, even saints and powerful beings held him in great awe.
Even before Hongjun Laozu became a saint, he had never been treated with such contempt.
This is the first time that someone has ever looked down on him like Yin Zicheng has ever done so!
...
Hongjun Ancestor looked in the direction of Yin Zicheng, pondered for a while, and then made a decision.
He withdrew his gaze, looked at the Receiving Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist who stood respectfully before him, anxiously awaiting his response, and spoke:
“Jieyin, Zhunti, you guessed right. The extraterrestrial demon that appeared on Flower Fruit Mountain is indeed a saint.”
"Like Yang Mei, he is not only a Chaos Saint, but also the reincarnation of an ancient Chaos Demon God. He possesses extremely strange secret techniques, which is why he was able to infiltrate the primordial world and prevent you from seeing through his true nature..."
"His purpose in coming here is far greater than that of your Buddhist sect in completing the Journey to the West; he also intends to wreak havoc on the primordial world!"
"We must eliminate this wicked demon with such wolfish ambitions as soon as possible and bring the primordial world back to its predetermined correct course!"
"Now that the evil forces are causing trouble for Buddhism, I will entrust the task of dealing with them to you. I hope you will not disappoint me!"
...
Both the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist were taken aback when they heard what Hongjun Laozu said.
They came to seek help from Hongjun Laozu.
Originally, Jieyin and Zhunti thought that Hongjun would personally take action and easily dismiss Yin Zicheng.
They never expected that the Grandmaster Hongjun would entrust them with the task of dealing with Yin Zicheng!
However, they can't even enter the primordial world, so how can they deal with Yin Zicheng?
Could it be...?
Suddenly, a thought that filled the minds of both the Guide and the Cundi Daoist with immense joy arose—
Hongjun Laozu's intention was to lift their saintly prohibition so that they could personally descend to the mortal realm to deal with Yin Zicheng.
That's wonderful!
If that's the case, with other saints unable to descend to the mortal realm and only the two of them able to, why worry about the flourishing of Buddhism?
With these two in charge, Buddhism will surely flourish and become the most prosperous force in the prehistoric world!
...
The Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti, who were initially filled with worry because of Yin Zicheng's appearance, experienced a significant change in their emotions at this moment, becoming filled with joy.
They envisioned a future where, with their help, Buddhism would become the strongest force in the primordial world, overwhelming all other forces.
As they looked on with anticipation, both the Guide and the Cundi Master couldn't help but smile.
Of course, neither of them were the kind of fools who didn't know their place.
They understood that they were in front of Hongjun Laozu at this moment and must not lose their composure.
Therefore, Jieyin and Zhunti only briefly contemplated the matter before quickly regaining their senses and speaking to Hongjun Laozu:
"Master Hongjun, do you mean to lift our sage's prohibition and let us descend to the mortal realm to deal with those extraterrestrial demons?"
...
Hongjun Laozu had a keen eye and could see at a glance what Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist were thinking.
He scoffed at their smugness.
During the Investiture of the Gods, he orchestrated and instigated the Tongtian Sect Leader's rage, leading to a great battle with other saints. This gave him an excuse to issue a decree against the saints, thus enabling him to better achieve his goal of controlling the Heavenly Dao.
How could he possibly lift the saintly prohibition he had so painstakingly established just because the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist needed to intervene this time?
Those two brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, are really dreaming!
...
Hongjun Laozu looked at Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist and said:
"I will temporarily lift your saintly ban, allowing you to descend to the mortal realm and resolve this crisis of demonic invasion."
"There is no time to lose. You should prepare yourselves and quickly descend to the mortal realm to deal with the evil spirits."
Upon hearing these words from Hongjun Laozu, both Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist were greatly disappointed.
They were too happy too soon!
It turns out that the Grandmaster Hongjun only sent them to the mortal realm to do hard labor once, and had no intention of completely lifting their saintly prohibition!
Jieyin and Zhunti were very frustrated by this.
However, they dared not show their frustration to Hongjun Laozu, let alone bargain with him.
They knew very well that since Hongjun Laozu had said so, no matter what they said, they could not change Hongjun Laozu's mind.
On the contrary, it might displease Hongjun Laozu, resulting in more harm than good.
Therefore, the Guide and the Cundi could only respectfully agree:
"Master Hongjun, rest assured, we will do our utmost to eliminate that extraterrestrial demon that has invaded the prehistoric world as soon as possible!"
