The Tathagata has left the Lingxiao Hall. In order to determine the new Journey to the West task organizer, the Jade Emperor is willing to provide sufficient resources as compensation, including Dharma Treasures, Peaches, and Immortal Pills.
The Tathagata, although satisfied when leaving, appeared helpless on the surface.
It seed, if the Heavenly Court could not assu the role of Journey to the West task organizer, he could only settle for requesting so items.
Watching the Tathagata leave helplessly, the Great Jade Emperor felt secretly delighted.
As long as the Buddhist Sect confirms the new Journey to the West task organizer, naturally, Buddhist Sect will bear the brunt of the Imasurable Kalpa, and the Heavenly Court's losses will be minimized.
"Everyone..."
In a good mood, the Jade Emperor's face beca much more relaxed, and looking down at the Immortal Officials and Divine Generals below, he spoke, "The matter of the Journey to the West task organizer is settled. Now, let's discuss a new matter!"
After a slight pause, the Jade Emperor continued, "Originally, Qinghua, Longevity, Ziwei, and Zhenwu assisted under my command. However, now they have each perished, so I wish to promote four newcors to assist in handling affairs. Does anyone have suggestions?"
With the Jade Emperor's words, it was as if a thunderbolt struck.
Initially, after the fall of Qinghua and the others, the Immortal Officials and Divine Generals of the Heavenly Court secretly speculated that the Jade Emperor would promote soone new to succeed them.
But recently, this matter seed to be on hold, so no one brought it up.
Now, with the fall of Zhenwu, the Jade Emperor finally ntioned this matter.
Determining the candidates for the new Four Royals was naturally not easy. After much discussion in the Lingxiao Hall, there was still no conclusion, so this matter was temporarily set aside.
After all, this is a major issue, and many aspects need consideration, so it's only reasonable to spend more ti to decide.
In the following days, the Heavenly Court discussed the candidates for the Four Royals several more tis, and gradually, there seed to be so clarity.
"Your Majesty..." However, just as today's discussion concluded, suddenly, Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Listening Ear stepped forward to salute the Jade Emperor.
"Do you have sothing to say?" Looking at Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Listening Ear, the Jade Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, the Buddhist Sect has already confird the new Journey to the West task organizer!" Thousand-Mile Eye hesitated slightly before quickly speaking to the Jade Emperor.
"Oh? So quickly? Who is it? The Buddhist Sect acts swiftly!" Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows with interest.
Even Maitreya Buddha and Vidyaraja Kongxuan t such a fate; who is the newly confird Journey to the West task organizer from the Buddhist Sect?
Not only was the Jade Emperor curious, but the Immortal Officials and Divine Generals in the Lingxiao Hall also showed curiosity on their faces.
"Reporting, the new Journey to the West task organizer is the Bodhisattva of Golden Light!" Thousand-Mile Eye replied.
"Bodhisattva of Golden Light?" The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows, with a hint of bewildernt in his eyes.
Clearly, the Jade Emperor was unfamiliar with the Bodhisattva of Golden Light.
Seeing the Jade Emperor's expression, Thousand-Mile Eye proceeded to explain: "Actually, the Bodhisattva of Golden Light was originally Guanyin Bodhisattva's mount, the Golden Hair Lion. When Guanyin was possessed and went to the Demon Realm, the Tathagata made the decision to confer the Golden Hair Lion as the Bodhisattva of Golden Light and granted the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South Sea as his Taoist Arena..."
"So, it's just Guanyin Bodhisattva's forr mount!?" Upon hearing the identity of the Bodhisattva of Golden Light, the Immortal Officials and Divine Generals in the Lingxiao Hall were enlightened.
However, despite realizing this, the Immortal Officials and Divine Generals were very surprised.
What's going on? Even the strongest Quasi-Saint, Vidyaraja Kongxuan nearly suffered calamity, why is the Buddhist Sect suddenly letting this Bodhisattva of Golden Light serve as the Journey to the West task organizer?
Are they giving up? Just a Taiyi Realm Bodhisattva, isn't this sending him to die?
"I suppose the Buddhist Sect has their own considerations for this!" After pondering for a mont, the Jade Emperor shook his head, not intending to delve further, simply instructing Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Listening Ear to keep an eye on the situation in the coming days.
No matter why the Buddhist Sect wants this Bodhisattva of Golden Light to be responsible for organizing the Journey to the West for Scriptures, in the Jade Emperor's view, these are Buddhist matters and not his direct concern.
"That..." Yet, after receiving the command, Thousand-Mile Eye looked as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty in keeping an eye on the matters of Journey to the West for Scriptures lately?" Seeing Thousand-Mile Eye's expression, the Jade Emperor gazed at him with a heavy, scrutinizing look.
"No, Your Majesty! This task is naturally without difficulty, but as far as I know, the Buddhist Sect decided on the Bodhisattva of Golden Light to take charge of the Journey to the West work, even before the Tathagata Buddha arrived at the Lingxiao Hall..." Thousand-Mile Eye shook his head and responded imdiately.
The words of Thousand-Mile Eye caused the entire Lingxiao Hall to fall silent abruptly.
The immortal officials and divine generals exchanged glances, and then each bowed their heads, not daring to look at the Jade Emperor's expression.
Sitting upon his throne, the Jade Emperor's face turned quite grim at once, as he asked Thousand-Mile Eye, "Are you certain of this matter?"
"Your Majesty, if I weren't certain, how would I dare to speak?" Thousand-Mile Eye, too, lowered his head, not daring to et the Jade Emperor's gaze, as he replied.
Anger!
Upon confirming this news, the Jade Emperor was filled with a sense of overwhelming anger.
Originally, when the Buddhist Sect quickly appointed the Bodhisattva of Golden Light as the Coordinator for the Journey to the West work, the Jade Emperor had not thought much of it, even lanting their efficiency.
But now, knowing the truth of the matter, the Jade Emperor was naturally furious.
The Tathagata Buddha had already decided over there, yet still ca to Lingxiao Hall to take so compensatory treasures from and left? Isn't this just to sche against harshly?
Originally having given sothing to get rid of Tathagata, the Jade Emperor's mood was rather good, but now recalling it, he truly felt he wished a crack in the ground would open to swallow him.
At this mont, the extent of the Jade Emperor's anger was sothing Jiang Liu naturally did not know. At this ti, Jiang Liu once again left the Journey to the West for Scriptures to co to the Ming Sect.
anwhile, both Demon King Ox and Jiang Ziya sat in front of Jiang Liu.
"Master, what is this!?" The two looked at Jiang Liu solemnly taking out the Contract Unbinding Scroll from his bundle space, and Demon King Ox asked Jiang Liu.
"This scroll can unbind all contracts in the world!"
Jiang Liu responded, pausing slightly after speaking, then particularly reminded, "If nothing goes wrong, I think the contracts in the Investiture of the Gods can also possibly be undone!"
"It can unbind the contracts in the Investiture of the Gods!?" Indeed, hearing Jiang Liu's reminder, whether Demon King Ox or Jiang Ziya, their faces changed drastically.
Countless strong ones who fell in the Deification War, their True Spirits are imprisoned within the Investiture of the Gods, being controlled by it, is no longer a secret in the world.
Now, the Master actually has the capability to undo the contracts in the Investiture of the Gods?
"Master, how many of such treasures do you have!?" Clearly understanding the significance of this scroll, Demon King Ox's breathing beca more rapid as he asked Jiang Liu.
"So far, this is the only scroll; as for whether there will be others in the future, it will depend on heaven's will..." Understanding what Demon King Ox ant, Jiang Liu replied.
"Is there only this one scroll?" Demon King Ox's expression turned sowhat disappointed.
"Even if it's only one scroll, if we operate it correctly, it can still play a huge role!"
Relatively speaking, Jiang Ziya's strength is naturally incomparable to Demon King Ox, but Jiang Ziya's overall perspective is stronger, so he interjected.
"Exactly, that's also my thought. Therefore, who this scroll should help unbind the contract for, and how exactly to operate, requires us to deliberate together, which is why I am consulting with you now!" Jiang Liu nodded, agreeing with Jiang Ziya's words.
"Many of the strong under the Jade Emperor's command are controlled by the Investiture of the Gods; if the restraint of this Investiture of the Gods can be undone in a grand, public scenario, the significance it represents is far more important than its practical significance!" Jiang Ziya said thoughtfully, a look of contemplation crossing his eyebrows.
"Indeed, I also think this way, but how can we create such an opportunity, and then, whose Investiture of the Gods restraint should we undo?" Jiang Liu nodded in agreent with Jiang Ziya, and then asked.
"Most of those imprisoned in the Investiture of the Gods are disciples of the Sect of Intercepting; who among them has the highest cultivation level? The strongest? This is sothing Demon King Ox would know best!" Jiang Ziya turned his head, focusing his gaze on Demon King Ox.
Due to the events of the Deification War, the disciples of the Sect of Intercepting naturally hold no goodwill towards the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court, so forging a united front isn't much of a concern.
Since we intend to help soone escape the restraint of the Investiture of the Gods, it would be best to pick the strongest individual!
Even if he once presided over the great calamity of deification, when it cos to understanding those disciples of the Sect of Intercepting, it would surely be Demon King Ox, who was once the mount of Sect Master Tongtian, who knows best.
"The one with the highest cultivation and strength, huh!"
A thoughtful expression appeared on Demon King Ox's face, and he soon replied, "Of course, it has to be Senior Brother Zhao Gongming!"
