Chapter 573: 473 Speechless Empress Nuwa

Of course, the sheer number of divine abilities held was not enough to astonish figures like the Jade Emperor and Tai Shang Lao Jun.

After all, they knew that Jiang Chen had a great and varied support system behind him, and thus obtaining a multitude of supreme divine powers was not too difficult.

What truly alarmed them was how Jiang Chen managed to refine these divine abilities in such a short time.

As is well-known, the higher the rank of a divine ability, the harder it is to cultivate, requiring enormous energy and a great deal of time.

Jiang Chen had only been cultivating the dao for a little over a hundred years. Even if he was a top-ranked prodigy in the Three Realms with unparalleled talent, it would have been an extraordinary accomplishment for him to attain a few supreme divine powers within a hundred years.

But now, Jiang Chen had more than just a few, he had cultivated hundreds of supreme divine powers. Where did he find so much time and energy to cultivate these divine abilities?

His cultivation had only been for over a hundred years, not a million years. If it were an Innate Dao Sovereign who had cultivated for a million years achieving this, although it would be remarkable, it would not have moved individuals like the Jade Emperor.

But Jiang Chen was different, he was too young, and his accomplishments did not match his age, it was too incredible. Hence why even the Jade Emperor and Tai Shang Lao Jun were moved and stunned.

"Jiang Chen has tremendous fortune!"

The Jade Emperor gazed at Jiang Chen thoughtfully, musing to himself.

If someone’s accomplishments went beyond reason, it could not be simply explained by their unparalleled talent.

There were only two possibilities: either the person was the reincarnation of a Great Divine Transcendent, or they carried a huge fortune on their shoulders.

The Jade Emperor was sure that Jiang Chen was definitely not the reincarnation of any Great Divine Transcendent, he had enough discernment to confirm this. So, the only answer left was that Jiang Chen carried a tremendous fortune.

As for what the fortune was, the Jade Emperor had no intention of delving deeper. Who doesn’t have a secret? Who doesn’t carry a fortune?

To achieve enlightenment and stand among the peaks, fortune is indispensable. Every cultivator comes across countless opportunities on their journey.

Getting them was their fate. Missing them was also their fate.

Fortune can’t be forced.

If one constantly envies others’ opportunities, what is the point of cultivating immortality and understanding the dao?

Remember, cultivation is for oneself, how others affect them?

The moment they envy others, they’ve descended, cultivations will have a hard time achieving the Great Dao.

At the level of the Jade emperor, his dao heart was firm and unshakeable. Even an Innate Treasure couldn’t move it, let alone covetousness for Jiang Chen’s fortune.

Therefore, the moment the thought of exploring Jiang Chen’s fortune rose in the Jade Emperor’s mind, he discarded it.

Everyone had greed. The difference between the strong and the weak was that the strong could control their greed while the weak could not.

...

"The Emperor Lord really is too powerful, truly the most top-ranked genius of the Human race in recent years."

Gradually, the Celestial Gods also realized the terrifying power of Jiang Chen. Being able to simultaneously refine hundreds of supreme divine powers was even more shocking than possessing hundreds of divine powers.

The former could be achieved if one had a strong support system or astonishing opportunities. However, the latter required heaven-defying talent.

Of course, some Celestial Gods recognized that Jiang Chen had a great fortune. But they forced themselves not to ponder over it.

It wasn’t that they could suppress their greed, but rather, Jiang Chen’s powerful strength deterred them from harboring any improper thoughts.

...

....

In the meantime, as Jiang Chen was using Sun Wukong as his sparring partner deep in the void, another change occurred atop Spiritual Mountain.

In the end, the Ninth Grade Golden Lotus could not withstand the powerful attack of the seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Human Race. Even with the support of the various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Saints and Arhats, it was the same.

Ommmm....

The merit-golden light on the outskirts of Spiritual Mountain vibrated for a moment, and then shattered, transforming into countless light particles that flowed back into the Ninth Grade Golden Body.

Then, they saw the golden light on the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus suddenly dim a few levels. Immediately afterwards, it vanished into the void, not giving any indication of where it was going to heal itself.

After driving away the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, those seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Human race suddenly demonstrated the "break" divine ability from the ancient martial arts.

"Break!"

A roar echoed, and an indescribable power exploded, destroying everything, instantly shattering the "卍" symbol that covered the entire Spiritual Mountain into fragments.

"Puff!"

The next moment, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on Spiritual Mountain spit out mouthfuls of fresh blood and fell onto the lotus platform, no longer having the strength to recite Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist sounds that filled the entire Spiritual Mountain disappeared, and Heaven and Earth, instantly became quiet.

The Ancient Martial Artists stepped forward, walking into Spiritual Mountain, and loudly proclaimed to the Three Realms: "For those who disrespect Empress Nuwa, this is the consequence."

"Finished speaking, seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Human Race simultaneously deployed the "Destruction" Divine Ability from the Ancient Martial Arts, launching an attack towards the ancestral home of Buddhism, the supreme holy land, the Great Thunderclap Temple.

With a thunderous rumble, the Buddhist holy site, the Great Thunderclap Temple, which had stood on the Spiritual Mountain for many years, always surrounded by countless Buddha light, suddenly broke into countless fragments and crumbled.

At that moment, the foundation of the Spiritual Mountain appeared to be shaken. The Buddha light on the mountain, which never faded throughout the years, dimmed a little, showing signs of extinguishing.

Rumble!

However, the Great Thunderclap Temple was, after all, a holy Buddhist site. With the blessing of various Buddhas and the faith of countless Buddhist followers over many years, it had developed miraculous properties and achieved immortality.

We saw the fragments of the Great Thunderclap Temple scattered everywhere began to float, giving off a faint Buddha’s light.

Then, as if time was reversing, these fragments of the Great Thunderclap Temple flew back to their original location, trying to restore the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain saw this and looked forward to it. The Ancient Martial Artists, however, looked at this scene with disdain.

The "Destruction" Divine Ability is a grand achievement of the Ancient Martial Arts and carries the power to destroy everything. Even though the Great Thunderclap Temple possessed immortality, it could not withstand its power.

These Buddhas thought that just because the Great Thunderclap Temple had the quality of immortality, it could be restored? They were overly optimistic.

Sure enough, at the moment the Great Thunderclap Temple was about to form, a power capable of destroying everything emerged, shattering the Great Thunderclap Temple again.

Seeing this, the hope that had just dawned in the eyes of the Buddhas of Spiritual Mountain was swiftly extinguished, replaced by total despair.

Rumble!

In the shocked gazes of all the three realms’ powerful forces, in recent years, the flourishing Buddhism’s fate suddenly began to plummet. Soon, it fell back to the phase when Buddhism was first established.

The destruction of the Great Thunderclap Temple was equivalent to the collapse of the spiritual pillar of Buddhism. It dealt Buddhism an unimaginable heavy blow, causing its fate to fall back to the level when it was first established.

Tens of thousands of years of hard work and countless schemes all turned into nothingness. One could say they went back to square one.

...

At the same time as the Great Thunderclap Temple shattered, the Two Saints of the West, who were far away in the Chaos outside of heaven, finally couldn’t stay put. They walked out of the Western Paradise World, with a golden light paving the way under their feet, continuously extending forward in the Chaos and going straight to the Splendid Heaven.

"Empress Nuwa, the Great Thunderclap Temple has been destroyed, and your anger should have subsided. How about stopping now?" The saint Zhunti, looking at the radiant palace of Emperor Wa in front of him, said in a deep voice.

The palace of Emperor Wa was silent for a long time.

Just as Saint Zhunti was about to lose patience and speak again, Empress Nuwa finally responded.

Faint sounds of Tao came leisurely from the palace of Emperor Wa: "What, you’re angry now? When you and your brother planned against me, have you ever thought that I would become angry too?"

Once these words were spoken, even the thick-skinned duo of Saint Zhunti and Saint Jiejing couldn’t help but reveal awkward expressions.

These two brothers have always believed in grabbing whatever they see. Regardless of who owned it, they would seize it if they saw it, regardless of its use to them.

Therefore, when they saw that Sun Wukong was excellent and carried the Merit of repairing heaven, they were moved. Without asking for Empress Nuwa’s opinion, they directly used him.

To take without asking is theft!

The Two Saints from the West had stolen something from Empress Nuwa, and now that they were being retaliated against by the injured party, it seemed just and reasonable.

In contrast, the Two Saints from the West were the thieves. Despite having stolen from others, they showed no remorse. Instead, they went to the victim’s house to question if they had caused enough trouble. This was undoubtedly unacceptable.

But the Two Saint, being who they are, didn’t take this embarrassment to heart. Seeing Saint Zhunti changing his adversarial stance, he put a smile on his face and unabashedly said:

"Empress Nuwa, you’re making jokes. My brother and I have always been kind to others, everyone knows this. How could we have plotted against you?"

Speechless, at this point, not to mention Empress Nuwa, even Sanqing, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, couldn’t help but remain silent after hearing Saint Zhunti’s words.

Kind to others? Known to all?

You need to have some shame. Do you really think that all of the great Divine Transcendents in the Prehistoric World have died out, and have forgotten about the things you did in the past?

Empress Nuwa remained silent for a long time, and then she said: "Your thick skin is truly rare since ancient times. I’m afraid even my Heaven and Earth Cauldron cannot break it!"

This was a mockery of Saint Zhunti’s thick skin, saying that even the Innate Treasure couldn’t break it.

But Saint Zhunti acted as if he hadn’t noticed the irony in Empress Nuwa’s words. He seriously replied, "Empress Nuwa, you’re joking again. Although my Golden Body is strong, it cannot withstand the power of an Innate Treasure. I can even say that it cannot compare to some top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"If I were to be hit by the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, it wouldn’t just be my face, but my head wouldn’t be able to bear it as well."

Seeing Saint Zhunti playing the fool here, Empress Nuwa suddenly felt a sense of helplessness. A saint who could be shameless to this point was indeed unique in the world.

At this moment, Empress Nuwa had a new and profound understanding of the saying, "No one is invincible if they have no shame."

As to someone like Saint Zhunti, all your verbal attacks were meaningless, because he simply didn’t care.
