287: Chapter 187: Clueless_5 287: Chapter 187: Clueless_5 This blow scattered all of his mana throughout his body, and he was temporarily unable to gather it again. “Nihou.” The Macaque King looked towards the newcomer. He was well aware that only Sun Wukong possessed such strength. Sun Wukong’s gaze fell on the Macaque King as he said to Marshal Tianpeng, “Take him, but do not kill him. Bring him to the Ziwei Heavenly Palace. I am actually curious whether Tathagata truly cares about this disciple.” “Understood.” Tianpeng agreed and then did something to the Macaque King to ensure he could not escape. After completing these actions, Tianpeng said to Sun Wukong with a smile, “Brother, what brings you here? Are you worried that I cannot handle these fellows?” Sun Wukong glanced at Marshal Tianpeng and said indifferently, “I just didn’t want to let go of this Macaque King. Otherwise, what bait would we use to fish?” The Macaque King’s gaze fell on Sun Wukong, and he said in a heavy voice, “Nihou, just kill me and give me a quick end. Don’t disgrace me.” Sun Wukong’s figure flashed without so much as acknowledging the Macaque King, and he left directly. The bond of brotherhood had completely vanished after learning of the true origins of the Six-Eared Macaque. When the Macaque King made his move against him, why did he not consider that I am his Nihou? Thousands of years of suppression, did you truly think I, Sun Wukong, harbored no resentment? Watching the departing silhouette of Sun Wukong, the Macaque King was utterly deflated. “Indeed, a beast is just a beast, never knowing the meaning of loyalty.” The Macaque King said through gritted teeth. Marshal Tianpeng looked at him disdainfully and sneered, “The true beast is one who demands loyalty from others, but when it’s their turn, they have another standard—such beings are worse than animals.” The Macaque King snorted coldly but said nothing. The vast Spiritual Sect was completely destroyed in a single day. Daoist immortals were shocked, and then ecstatic. In their hearts, their recognition of the Great Emperor Ziwei soared immeasurably. Many Daoist immortals felt that this was how a Great Heavenly Venerate of the Heavenly Court should be. Having to swallow one’s pride in the face of the Buddhist Sect was just too humiliating. Great Heavenly Venerate Ziwei was so satisfying that even compared to the previous Jade Emperor, he did not come up short, even surpassing him. At least, the Jade Emperor never did anything so gratifying. The news reached Mount Ling, and Tathagata Buddha stood up immediately. His terrifying Buddha’s Light burst forth, illuminating the entire Western Continent. Amitabha Buddha also received the news and, sensing Tathagata’s rage, he shrank his own neck. Though no longer afraid of Tathagata, he had rarely seen the latter so utterly incensed. As the most cunning one in the Buddhist Realm, Tathagata seldom lost his temper like this. “I hope Tathagata cannot restrain himself and makes a scene at Ziwei Heavenly Court.” Amitabha Buddha thought in secret. If that happened, Tathagata would be doomed. And he himself would no longer need to worry about threats from Tathagata. Within Mount Ling, Tathagata Buddha was enveloped in a murderous aura. The Buddhists and Bodhisattvas present were trembling, as they have never seen Tathagata so furious. “Calm your anger, Buddha. The Spiritual Sect was always just a ploy for us, and we were prepared for its possible sacrifice. The current situation is merely the worst outcome we had anticipated—there is no need to be so angry,” Lamp-Burning Ancient Buddha said in a deep voice. At this moment, he was the only one who dared to try to calm Tathagata. Tathagata looked at him deeply and then nodded, saying solemnly, “Any news of the Macaque King?” Just then, Arhat Dragon-Subduing stepped forward and said, “The Macaque King has been captured by the Heavenly Court and is now in the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.” Boom. Tathagata stood up and bellowed, “This is outrageous.” Having said that, he prepared to leave. “What are you planning to do, Buddha?” “Go to the Ziwei Heavenly Court to demand the return of someone.” Tathagata said in a deep voice. He could disregard others, but he had to save the Macaque King. His disciples and other subordinates, they were different. Jin Chan suddenly opened his eyes, a look of surprise crossing his face as he glanced at the Tathagata and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such sentiment towards the Macaque King. Why weren’t you so good to me back then? Could he be your illegitimate child?” As he spoke, he quickly shook his head and laughed, “Right, that’s impossible. The Macaque King is a monkey, so if he were your illegitimate child, unless you had a female monkey, Tathagata, do you really have such peculiar tastes?” “Shut up.” Tathagata scolded, then with an unfriendly expression, he said, “I treated you well back then too, but it was your own ambition that got the better of you, wanting to replace me. Otherwise, do you think I would have taken action against you?” Jin Chan neither agreed nor disagreed. He stared at Tathagata Buddha and spoke indifferently, “If I were you, I would never go to the Heavenly Court. It’s clearly a trap, waiting for you to walk right into it. Do you really dare to go?” Tathagata was slightly taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure. However, he also said, “If I don’t go, all of the Three Realms will laugh at me for being a coward, afraid to even save my own disciple.” The Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms care deeply about their reputation. Tathagata was no exception. If anyone dared to damage the reputation of an Immortal, they would be thoroughly offending that Immortal to the death. “Is reputation more important, or is life?” Jin Chan asked blandly. Tathagata took a deep breath, hesitating. “Please, Buddha, prioritize the overall situation,” Maitreya Buddha and others knelt as well. Although they usually disliked Jin Chan, they had to admit that what Jin Chan said this time was right. Compared to reputation, they felt that life was a little more important. “Also, you’d better try to awaken your followers now. I always have a very inappropriate feeling. I think that your plan to take over the Netherworld might have been exposed as well,” Jin Chan continued. Upon hearing this, Tathagata and the others’ expressions changed drastically. If that was the case, they would have been busy for nothing. Not only they got nothing, but they also suffered a loss. Even Tathagata’s position as the Lord of the Buddhist Realm might be taken by Amitabha Buddha, and they had offended Great Emperor Ziwei. Realizing this, Tathagata’s expression finally became grave. He ascended his Nine-Colored Lotus Platform and began to exercise his divine skills. A great Buddha appeared, shining over the four continents. The radiant light of the Buddha illuminated Heaven and Earth. All the Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms watched Tathagata’s movements. Most of the Immortals and Buddhas didn’t know what Tathagata intended to do, only Sun Wukong and his group knew clearly. Great Emperor Ziwei and Sun Wukong stood side by side, watching Tathagata’s actions, their faces revealing smug smiles. In a moment, Tathagata’s expression would certainly be worth seeing. The next instant, Tathagata began to form seals. A massive Dharma Seal unleashed unparalleled power. Specks of Buddha’s Light fell upon the four continents. In the next moment, numerous young creatures, in their early twenties, knelt on the ground with devout expressions, paying homage to the great Buddha. A vast stream of Incense and Devotion Power surged towards Tathagata. Tathagata revealed a smile. This was less than one-thousandth of his followers, yet they provided so much Incense and Devotion Power. If the accumulation of over twenty years were to burst forth, his strength would surely progress further. His previously suppressed mood immediately lifted. However, his smile did not last long. As time went on, besides the initial less than one-thousandth of the followers who awoke, no one else did. Tathagata was stupefied. What was going on?
