Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 684 - 547 All great powers take the stage

Chapter 684: 547 All great powers take the stage

Outside Spiritual Mountain, a number of terrifying figures appeared, their presences vast like heaven and earth, imposing endless pressure.

Looking at them, the Tathagata Buddha sighed and said, "Let’s fight to the death together, everyone!"

At this moment, the Tathagata Buddha could say nothing else. A fight to death would not bring any hope for them, but only make their deaths a bit more tragic, rather than silently slipping away.

"My dear friend, you truly have a clever strategy. Occupying the Spiritual Mountain to replace the Tathagata for many years, and only revealed your true colors today. Just this strategy of yours indicates your reputation in the Demon Sect."

At this moment, a powerful transcendent looked at the Tathagata and spoke with a chuckle. When it came to acting, which of those who attained the rank of Great Divine Transcendents wasn’t an acting Emperor?

Upon hearing these words, the corner of the Tathagata Buddha’s mouth twitched. He didn’t respond, but his heart slowly sank.

The easy way the other party spoke revealed his determination. If he didn’t intend to kill him, why would he address him as a demon?

Referring to him as a demon was preparing for his upcoming death!

Taking a deep breath, the Tathagata Buddha stepped forward and said solemnly to the crowd, "Shakyamuni is here, who dares to fight me?"

These words from the Tathagata really rendered the Great Divine Transcendents speechless.

It was not an exaggeration to say that each of the Great Transcendents on the scene had the capability to defeat the Tathagata Buddha. Especially now that the Tathagata Buddha was seriously injured, dealing with him would be even easier.

However, although it was easy to defeat the Tathagata Buddha, none of the Great Transcendents present wanted to take the initiative.

In reality, the Tathagata Buddha’s identity was indeed awkward. He was the first disciple of the three generations of Mystic Sect, and also the oldest disciple of the Upper Qing Saints. He was the only one who had met Honjan Daizu among the third generation disciples of Mystic Sect.

Such an identity persisted, even if the Tathagata Buddha has now become the supreme of Buddhism, it’s still hard for the transcendents of the Mystic Sect to make a move against him.

After all, Duobao did not voluntarily betray the Mystic Sect, but was taken to the west by the Saint of Taiqing. So, whether he’s a disciple of Mystic Sect or a disciple of Buddhism, it’s really not clear.

Not to mention, the attitude of Upper Qing Saints was unclear. If the Tathagata was killed, how would they explain it to the Upper Qing Saints?

As everyone hesitated, a rainbow light sliced through the sky, landed at the foot of Spirit Mountain, and transformed into a daoist nun. It was Saintess Wudang!

She drew a treasure sword, pointed it at the Tathagata Buddha, speaking with a cold voice, "Shakyamuni, I have come to fight you."

She then raised her sword and charged, the chilly sword light pointing directly at the Tathagata Buddha.

Ever since Saintess Wudang showed up, the Tathagata Buddha’s expression didn’t change, although his eyes became complicated.

Especially when he saw Saintess Wudang raising her sword against him, his eyes became even more complex, but without saying anything, he showed his Golden Body and began the fight against Saintess Wudang.

At this moment, the surrounding Great Divine Transcendents fell into shock, staring incredulously at Saintess Wudang.

"Initial stage of Quasi-Saint!"

"Wudang has attained the Quasi-Saint!"

"The Upper Qing brother is really impressive, his disciples are all amazing. If it weren’t for that incident back then, the Jiejiao Sect probably would have been in a different situation today."

As they looked at Saintess Wudang, everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration, and they felt even more sorry for the Jiejiao Sect.

The Jiejiao Sect, what a pity!

Immediately, everyone turned their attention back to the other Buddhas on Spirit Mountain. They were not interested in the fight between disciples, those were their own problems and had nothing to do with others.

Beyond the Tathagata Buddha, Buddhism still had eight other Quasi-Saint Buddhas.

They were the Future Maitreya Buddha, Past Randeng Buddha, Medicine Master Liuli King Tathagata, Great Sun Tathagata, Supreme Dragon King Buddha, Non-Empty Achievement Buddha, Shaluo Tree King Buddha, and Peacock Radiant King Bodhisattva who was also the mother of Buddha.

Looking at Buddhism as a whole, they have a total of nine Quasi-Saints. Although they were far from being compared to the Mystic Sect, they could still firmly occupy the position of the world’s largest sect.

At least, none of the three thousand Taoist sects in Mystic Sect could present nine Quasi-Saints. Oh, even having nine Innate Dao Sovereigns would be difficult.

At this moment, the gaze of the Mystic Sect’s Great Divine Transcendents fell upon Spirit Mountain, precisely on these eight Quasi-Saints.

"Oh, there are quite a few familiar faces!"

"Some people, despite the rightful path before them, insist on pursuing those eccentric side tracks, truly beyond salvation."

A Divine Transcendent with a peculiar Yin and Yang aura said, looking at the eight Quasi-Saints of the Buddhist door.

Among the nine Quasi-Saints of Buddhism, there are only three with orthodox Buddhist roots - Maitreya Buddha, Dragon Supreme King Buddha, and Bodhi Tree King Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha is a disciple of the two Western Saints. Dragon Supreme King Buddha is the innate large serpent transformed from the Western dragon vein.

Originally, he should have transformed into a dragon, but alas, the ancient Western vein was destroyed due to the Demon Ancestor’s self-explosion, causing a deficiency in his original source, being inherently deficient, he failed to transform into a dragon at his birth, and could only manifest in the form of a serpent.

As for the Bodhi Tree King Buddha, he is from a Western innate Bodhi tree. Although he didn’t possess an innate spirit root, just like Dragon Supreme King Buddha, he was inherently deficient.

These three are the truly native beings of the Western region, and they represent the most orthodox lineage of Buddhism.

Like Tathagata Buddha, the eight Quasi-Saints of Buddhism also wanted to show some bravery by instigating battles with the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect. However, their rebellious attitude didn’t earn them any leniency from the Mystic Sect Divine Transcendents.

Before they even opened their mouths, a Mystic Sect master stepped forward and shouted at Randeng Buddha: "Randeng, come out and fight. Let me see what you have learned these years in Buddhism and see if your heterodox teachings can trump the supreme Great Dao of my Mystic Sect."

The Mystic Sect has its own dignity—even with countless iterations of their victory over the Ancient Randeng Buddha. And the one who challenged him had only reached the late stages of the Quasi-Saint Realm, quite similar in strength to Ancient Randeng Buddha.

Even though a Great Divine Transcendent of the half-step Primordial Realm could crush Ancient Randeng Buddha, such an act would be too contemptuous and would fail to showcase the power of the Mystic Sect’s Immortal Dao.

Only a fight against opponents of the same level could make people in the world realize that the Mystic Sect’s Immortal Dao is superior to Buddhism.

"Sigh!"

With a sigh, Ancient Randeng Buddha stepped down from Spiritual Mountain, following the Mystic Sect master into the outer Chaos.

"Bhikshu, come out and fight. Let me see what capabilities the Buddhist teachings possess that could make you abandon the Mystic Sect."

A Great Transcendent of the Great Perfection level walked out to have a battle with Bhikshu in the Chaos.

"A mere snake dare to claim as a dragon, Dragon Supreme King Buddha, come out and fight."

The Dragon Xianzun walked out, calling out Dragon Supreme King Buddha to fight.

All of a sudden, Dragon Supreme King Buddha’s face changed. He was merely a mid-level Quasi-Saint, whereas the opponent was a Great Perfection Quasi-Saint. How could he fight?

During Dalao’s preaching in Mount Kunlun, before he became a saint, a large Earth Dragon vein listened and one day, it attained enlightenment and transformed into this Dragon Xianzun.

From afar, Jiang Chen, having witnessed this, couldn’t help but click his tongue, secretly exclaiming how profound the Dragon Clan’s foundation was since even the Mystic Sect entrusts them with a dragon. They genuinely were top-notch powers from the past who hide deeply.

After that, another Mystic Sect master stepped out and called forth Bodhi Tree King Buddha.

"Peacock of Five Colors, come out and fight!"

The Phoenix Xianzun walked out, calling out Kong Xuan. He was a variant of the Phoenix Clan, a naturally-born five-colored phoenix, possessing the same innate god beast power of Five Elements as Kong Xuan.

At this point, only three of the nine Great Quasi-Saints of Buddhism were left. But the issue with these remaining three was unnerving for the Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect.

It wasn’t that these three people were more potent, but rather that they all were juniors. With the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect being unwilling to fight juniors, they were in a predicament.

Just as everyone hesitated, a mysterious light fell through, transforming into a Daoist dressed in a dark yellow Dao robe.

The moment he showed up, he said to Maitreya Buddha: "Fellow Daoist, please join us at Xuandu!"

Xuandu Zhenren, the only disciple of the Saint of Taiqing and the most low-profile individual among the three sects, was finally showing his own prowess. He had already entered the realm of the Quasi-Saints, not inferior to Maitreya Buddha.

After Xuandu, atop the Spiritual Mountain, a surge of blood appeared, and an extremely abhorrent-looking Asura strode out from it. He shouted at the Medicine Master Liuli Tathagata: "The Blood Slaughter of the Asura Sect, specifically here to invite Poxun to his death."

Though the man was merely an Innate Dao Sovereign, none present dared to look down on him. Particularly, the Medicine Master Liuli Tathagata, his eyebrows furrowed immediately.

All of this was because this Asura, known as the Blood Slaughter, was carrying two swords on his back — Yuan Tu and Abi. It was a mystery as to how the Ancestor of the Underworld River managed to get them out.

After Medicine Master Liuli Tathagata, the only remaining Quasi-Saint of Buddhism was Great Sun Tathagata. And he was now the biggest problem.

The son of the Great Ancient Heavenly Emperor!

"It’s been so many years since Di Jun fell, yet his prestige is still present, ever protecting his only son and preventing anyone from making a move against Great Sun Tathagata."
