Chapter 492 - 436: The Great Calamity is Imminent, Gathering at Beiju Luzhou

Chapter 492: Chapter 436: The Great Calamity is Imminent, Gathering at Beiju Luzhou

Regarding Bai Ze’s words, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect did not speak immediately.

He calmly spoke, "My Cutting Teachings Sect disciples have mostly defected from the Sect, and now our Sect might not be able to muster too many people of great strength!"

"Among the original Eight Immortals, only Qiu Shou Immortal, Spirit-Tooth Immortal, Golden Light Immortal, and Golden Hoop Immortal are Quasi-Saints who can join the battle!"

"Additionally, Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Immortal Sanxiao can be counted on to fight."

"All told, we have but three at the Pinnacle of Great Luo, eight Great Luo Golden Immortals, and twenty at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortals."

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect thought for a moment and then disclosed his side’s strength.

However, there were more false elements in what he said.

But as it stands now, no one is concerned about that!

"If Wa Huang Palace and the Cutting Teachings Sect unite, we will certainly not fall easily in this battle among the Various Sects."

Though the strength displayed by the Cutting Teachings Sect was not satisfactory, Bai Ze did not underestimate them.

After all, most of these Cutting Teachings Sect disciples had survived the Divine Enthronement battle, and which of them didn’t possess extraordinary abilities?

They may have lost in that battle, but everyone knows it was because the Expounding Teachings Sect and the Human Teachings Sect stood together, making their defeat quite normal.

But now, the Goddess Sanxiao who was originally at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal has attained the Dao of Great Luo, and even her aura is quite extraordinary. Under such circumstances, to underestimate them would be to court discomfort."

"The great battle among the Sects will inevitably see the Cutting Teachings Sect and Wa Huang Palace at a disadvantage. Yet, our alliance now naturally holds the possibility of victory!"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect slowly spoke.

A faint smile appeared on his face, showing that Wa Huang Palace was indeed very sincere.

"Since that’s the case, I shall return to Wa Huang Palace to prepare. Let’s meet in Beiju Luzhou in fifteen days!"

Bai Ze stood up and cupped his fist towards Li Xiu, ready to take his leave.

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect and the various disciples of the Cutting Teachings Sect also stood up to see him off. Although the Leader of the Tongtian Sect was a Saint, Bai Ze represented Nuwa, which naturally made him worthy of such a courtesy.

Bai Ze held some reverence in his heart and waited until Bai Ze had left.

Only then did the Leader of the Tongtian Sect turn to Wang Yang and say, "If Fellow Daoist is unwilling, I naturally will not blame you, but in this era, you must still be cautious!"

Wang Yang naturally understood the implications in the Leader of the Tongtian Sect’s words.

After all, in this era, for Hongjun to advance further, all beings are like chess pieces, and right now Wang Yang had not been implicated, but that might not hold true in the future.

So rather than being passive, it is better to actively participate; perhaps he could gain Fate and achieve Saintliness.

"Celestial Venerate is right!"

Wang Yang nodded.

Seeing Wang Yang nod, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

At this moment, those who had originally gone to the secret chamber had also come out.

The expression on the Leader of the Tongtian Sect’s face became grave again as he said, "It seems I have underestimated the other Sects. Just Wa Huang Palace alone can muster so many warriors. I would not believe if someone said that the Expounding Teachings Sect, Human Teachings Sect, and Buddhism are not stronger than Wa Huang Palace."

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect spoke frankly in front of the many Cutting Teachings Sect disciples.

Down below, individuals like Golden Spirit Holy Mother had less pleasing expressions; they naturally understood that the Leader of the Tongtian Sect’s words were the truth.

They had been in the Investiture of the Gods for many years, but they were naturally clearer on the situation than the Leader of the Tongtian Sect.

Of course, this was not to say that the Cutting Teachings Sect truly lagged behind other sects, but due to the Divine Enthronement battle, the Cutting Teachings Sect indeed suffered heavy losses.

Although the Leader of the Tongtian Sect had rescued all disciples entered into the Investiture of the Gods, there were still many who had fallen directly and not entered the list, which weakened the sect’s strength considerably.

However, even now, the Cutting Teachings Sect’s strength should not be underestimated.

"In fifteen days, let us all depart from Golden Turtle Island!"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect spoke.

Everyone furrowed their brows in preparation for what would follow.

As for the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and Bai Ze’s earlier conversation, it can only be considered as reporting three-tenths of the Cutting Teachings Sect’s strength; wait until they fully engage, they will certainly startle the other sects.

Afterwards, Wang Yang also stayed temporarily on Golden Turtle Island.

In a dark area, a figure sat by the river, holding a fishing rod, though the hook had no bait and was some distance from the water.

Then, behind him, a dark lotus emerged, taking the form of a silhouette.

"You’ve returned?"

The man spoke calmly.

"Lord Jiang, I have informed Haotian, and I expect he will arrive soon!"

This person transformed from the black lotus was none other than Wu Tian.

Wu Tian sat down beside the man.

The man was quite old with white hair and beard, showing his age.

"Listen to me, I can ensure the prosperity of your Demon Clan for thirty-three years, but as for beyond that, it will be up to you!"

Lord Jiang slowly spoke, "Heaven is unjust, using the earth as a chessboard and living beings as chess pieces; I too shall become a Chess Master!"

Wu Tian said, "So the Calamity of Measurement from Journey to the West, in Lord Jiang’s view, is nothing but a farce, a Saint’s arrangement?"

"Is that Buddhist demon calamity also arranged by the Saint?"

"Indeed, whether it be the Calamity of Dragons and Phoenixes, the Sorcerers and Monsters Calamity, the Calamity of Divine Enthronement, including this current Calamity of Journey to the West, they are all driven by the Saint, and the Chess Master is Hongjun!"

"After this Calamity of Journey to the West ends, Hongjun will likely reap the most. This time, using you as a basis and inducing the Three Realms into calamity, he is preparing for his advancement to the Dao!"

Lord Jiang slowly spoke, then suddenly paused.

"Haotian has arrived," Lord Jiang said with a slight smile.

"Oh? So soon? I’ll invite them in right away!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian showed a surprised and joyous expression, while Lord Jiang slowly stood up, putting away the fishing rod, his face bearing a smile.
