Chapter 569: 471 Demolished the Great Thunderclap Temple

If anyone else dared to tear Heaven Court apart, even the patient Jade Emperor would have slapped them to death long ago.

But he couldn’t do the same to Sun Wukong.

If the Jade Emperor dared to slap him, Empress Nuwa in the chaotic Splendid Heaven beyond the sky wouldn’t hold back her hand either. She would do the same in retaliation.

Therefore, facing the lawless Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to endure. After all, it was his fault. If he hadn’t plotted against Sun Wukong first, would this disaster have occurred?

As for seeking help from Buddhism?

Ha, the Jade Emperor laughed at this idea.

Now, Buddhism can barely hold Spiritual Mountain, let alone have the capacity to deal with Heaven Court’s troubles.

Upon hearing the Jade Emperor’s complaints, the Grand Master Lao Zi remained silent. What more could he say? Today, he was utterly humiliated by Sun Wukong. He utterly ruined his own reputation.

Needless to say, this was undoubtedly Empress Nuwa’s revenge for his plotting against Sun Wukong. But the Grand Master Lao Zi could not retaliate. Otherwise, if the situation escalated, he would bring even greater disgrace upon himself.

He was, after all, an incarnation of a saint, yet he shamelessly plotted against a junior. If this were known, the Grand Master Lao Zi would be the laughing stock of all the beings in the Three Realms.

Just like the Jade Emperor, the Grand Master Lao Zi could only swallow his pride and endure.

Every action has consequences, their actions have set off a chain of events leading to Empress Nuwa’s present retaliation.

...

...

...

While Heaven Court was bustling with chaos, the Spiritual Mountain on the Xiniuhe Continent was under siege.

Several powerful figures stealthily converged around Spiritual Mountain, surrounding the holy land of Buddhism.

Subsequently, they remained silent and motionless, gazing solemnly at the Western Spiritual Mountain.

But their profound and sea-like aura permeated the air, contorting heaven and earth, making the Great Dao lament.

On the Western Spiritual Mountain, the monks and novices were trembling uncontrollably under the influence of this aura. Some even fainted outright.

At the top of the mountain, where the Buddhist light was thickest, within the Great Thunderclap Temple, all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerated ones, and Arhats were gathered. They each sat in their respective positions, faces filled with grave expressions as they stared at the outside world.

Because those powerful individuals outside Spiritual Mountain were the elites of the Human Race. Each one of them possessed the cultivation of an Innate Dao Sovereign, embodiments of the Great Dao, with the power to annihilate the vast universe.

This time, to deal with Buddhism, the Human Race sent an astonishing seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns to besiege Spiritual Mountain, putting tremendous pressure on Buddhism.

Within the Great Thunderclap Temple, a Bodhisattva, unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, raised his head to ask the Buddha in the center of the temple, "My Lord, now that the Human Race is besieging Spiritual Mountain, what should we do?"

The Buddha remained silent, not saying a word.

The other Buddhas also remained silent.

No one answered this Bodhisattva’s question, because they were waiting, waiting for a message from the Saint.

The elites of the Human Race would not attack Buddhism for no reason. Yet they came. This indicated that someone had commanded them to attack Buddhism.

When one looked at the entire Human Race, apart from the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, the only individual with such influence would be Empress Nuwa. Considering Buddhism’s recent actions, wasn’t the answer apparent?

It was Empress Nuwa who had grown dissatisfied with Buddhism, and had thus ordered the elites of the Human Race to besiege Spiritual Mountain.

Understanding this, the various Buddhas of Buddhism did not act, but silently waited. They could only wait when it came to disputes between the Saints. After all, there was nothing else they could do.

Of course, this was also due to Buddhism not being a match for the Human Race.

After the downfall of the Jiejiao Sect, Buddhism rose to prominence, replacing the Jiejiao Sect as the largest religion in the Prehistoric World. But even so, Buddhism’s strength was still not as potent as the Human Race’s.

Indeed, if it hadn’t been for the two Saints of the West, Buddhism would be insignificant in the face of the Human Race, which could easily obliterate it.

This is no joke; this is simply a fact. In the Spring and Autumn period, Buddhism intended to go to the Nanbuzhan Continent to spread the Dharma.

But before the Buddhas even embarked on their journey, Confucius, who had received the news in advance, traversed the Western Regions with 3000 disciples to meet the Buddhas at Spiritual Mountain for a debate on Tao.

That day can be considered the darkest day in the history of Buddhism. Many ancient Buddhas’ faiths shattered in the debate against the Confucian scholars, and they entered Nirvana on the spot.

Eventually, had not the Saint appeared in time and forced away Confucius and his 3000 disciples, Buddhism would not exist today.

Indeed, the Confucius alone almost annihilated Buddhism. This incident reflects the gap between Buddhism and the Human Race.

Although many years have passed and Buddhism has grown slightly stronger, it’s still not a match for the Human Race.

The Human Race has fought to be the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, their throne built on the flesh and blood of countless races. Without formidable strength, how could they have accomplished this?

Since the Primordial three tribes withdrew from the historical stage and the Witch and Demon two clans declined, the number of Innate Dao Sovereigns in the Human Race has been the highest in the Prehistoric World.

Therefore, the Human Race is the protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

The seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns besieging Buddhism this time are just a part of the powerhouses in the Human Race, not all of them.

Yet even so, Buddhism could not rally enough Innate Dao Sovereigns to counter them.
