Chapter 470 Hongjun's Madness, the Art of Surrender!
Reading Settings
When the ambition that Hongjun Laozu had devoted countless efforts to and pursued throughout his life was shattered.
He went completely insane!
He roared loudly.
His face was contorted in a ferocious expression.
He was so angry he vomited blood.
At this moment, Hongjun Ancestor was extremely frantic. If he could, he would really like to strangle Yin Zicheng, who had cut off his future!
Unfortunately, in front of Yin Zicheng, Hongjun Laozu was as weak as an ant.
He couldn't even break free from the restraints that Yin Zicheng had casually set up, let alone kill Yin Zicheng!
...
beside.
When Tongtian Jiaozhu, Taishang Laozi, and Nuwa saw Hongjun Laozu's mad behavior, they immediately realized that their guess was correct: Hongjun Laozu had indeed had his Heavenly Dao authority stripped by Yin Zicheng!
Now, Hongjun Ancestor is just like his former self, an ordinary Heavenly Dao Saint bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao!
Moreover, because of the fact that Hongjun Laozu merged with the Dao, even if he wanted to abolish his Heavenly Dao Saint position and break away from the Heavenly Dao, he simply could not do it!
Hongjun Laozu is completely bound to the Heavenly Dao, and there is no way to break free!
He was destined to be a puppet of Heaven for the rest of his life!
...
Seeing Hongjun Laozu meet such an end, Tongtian Jiaozhu was overjoyed:
"Haha, even old man Hongjun has met his end?"
"He used to pride himself on being the controller of the Heavenly Dao, but now he'll be driven by it for the rest of his life. He's gotten what he asked for, haha..."
Because of the Investiture of the Gods, the Master of the Heavens harbored immense hatred for the Ancestor Hongjun.
He was overjoyed to see Hongjun Laozu suffer a setback.
At the same time, it wasn't just the Tongtian Sect Leader who was happy.
Nuwa, Laozi, and Houtu were also very happy.
Nuwa was happy because Hongjun Laozu had tricked her many times, and she harbored great resentment towards him.
Taishang was pleased for two reasons: first, because Hongjun had schemed against him, and second, because he was a true descendant of Pangu, while Hongjun had been plotting to seize Pangu's Dao Fruit and control of the primordial world, which made Taishang very unhappy.
Houtu was happy for many reasons, but the main reason was Hongjun Laozu's scheming against the Wu tribe.
She was happy that the revenge for her brothers, sisters and fellow countrymen who died tragically in the Lich War had been brought to justice by the Grandmaster Hongjun!
...
Heavenly Court.
The Jade Emperor saw that Hongjun Laozu had been stripped of his Heavenly Dao authority and turned into an ordinary Heavenly Dao Saint.
While marveling at Yin Zicheng's incredible strength, he felt an increasing urgency in his heart:
"We can't delay any longer! If we drag this out any longer, it might affect the very essence of this being!"
"By then, it will be far too late for me to surrender!"
"I must act quickly!"
"However, given my status as a direct descendant of Hongjun, directly surrendering might not be accepted... I need to do some preparations first!"
"I will first ease tensions with the Jie Sect, and then lead the entire Heavenly Court to surrender to Ancestor Yin!"
...
The Jade Emperor is a shrewd and calculating man.
Although he is not as good as Hongjun Laozu, he is still smart enough.
Instead of rashly surrendering to Yin Zicheng, he thought of ways to build a relationship with Yin Zicheng.
The Jade Emperor's solution was to start with the immortals and gods of the Jie Sect in Heaven!
He understood from Yin Zicheng's initiative in recruiting Tongtian Jiaozhu as a guest minister of the Shang Dynasty that although Yin Zicheng was a disciple of the Jie Sect from beyond the realm, he also had a good impression of the Jie Sect in this world.
So, if the Jade Emperor first establishes good relations with the immortals and gods of the Jie Sect, and then surrenders to Yin Zicheng, things will be much better with such a relationship in place!
...
Immediately realizing the urgency of the matter, the Jade Emperor took action.
He shook off his previous dejection and despair, and became energetic again.
The Jade Emperor did not foolishly order the gods of the Jie Sect to come and pay homage, relying on his position as the ruler of the Heavenly Court who controlled the Investiture of the Gods.
He took the initiative to step out of the Lingxiao Palace and headed straight for the Doumu Divine Palace where Doumu Yuanjun, the former senior sister of the Jie Sect, once lived!
at the same time.
Lingshan.
Like the Jade Emperor, the Buddha was already preparing to surrender to Yin Zicheng.
However, it was obvious to everyone that Yin Zicheng had come for the Buddhist Journey to the West and seemed to harbor hostility towards Buddhism.
As the leader of the Buddhist sect, if he were to surrender directly, whether Yin Zicheng agreed or not was another matter, but he would definitely suffer.
Therefore, the Buddha put his mind to work and carefully considered what he should do to please Yin Zicheng and make himself surrender smoothly.
Just then, the Buddha saw a series of shocking scenes.
Yin Zicheng casually grabbed Hongjun Laozu and then casually stripped Hongjun Laozu of his Heavenly Dao authority.
These scenes left even the Buddha speechless with astonishment.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even the Buddha himself would have found it hard to believe that such a powerful being existed in the world!
These shocking scenes further solidified the Buddha's resolve to surrender.
However, how to surrender is a subject that must be carefully considered!
...
"It's clear that as a disciple of the Jie Sect from beyond the realms, Ancestor Yin has a very favorable impression of the Jie Sect..."
"Originally, as the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, I was naturally close to Ancestor Yin, but unfortunately... now I am a traitor to the Jie Sect!"
"The reason why Ancestor Yin is prejudiced against Buddhism is perhaps because of the relationship between the Jie Sect and the Western Sect outside the region. As the leader of Buddhism, I am naturally at a great disadvantage!"
"I must find a way to make up for this disadvantage and to make Ancestor Yin like me! At the very least, I must not make him dislike me because of my connection with Buddhism!"
The Buddha knew that time was of the essence, and his thoughts raced like lightning.
In an instant, countless thoughts had already passed through the mind of the Buddha.
He was certain that the key to breaking the deadlock lay in Yin Zicheng's goodwill towards the Jie Sect!
He was going to take action to rescue the disciples of the Jie Sect who had been forcibly taken to Buddhism by Jieyin and Zhunti.
In this way, she tried to curry favor with Yin Zicheng.
Furthermore, he intends to lead the entire Buddhist community to surrender to Yin Zicheng!
