Capítulo 1458: Chapter 1456: Ti to Declare War on the Heavenly Court
Great Tang, Chang’an City!
In the Ming Sect, Jiang Liu, dressed in the True Martial Qinglian Robe, wielded the Godslaying Spear, with the twenty-seven petal lotus blooming behind him…
Brilliant light radiated, treasure light burst forth, making it too dazzling to behold!
The Ninth Grade rit Golden Lotus, Ninth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, and the Treasure Lotus Lantern have now completely rged under the effect of Jiang Liu’s Universal Adhesive Tape, transforming into the twenty-seven petal lotus!
Moreover, Jiang Liu’s own Green Lotus Buddha Robe also rged with the True Martial Soap Carved Flag, turning into the True Martial Qinglian Robe!
Today, Jiang Liu can indeed be considered equipped head to toe with divine gear!
Plus, with the title ability of Unparalleled…
Even though Jiang Liu’s level is only 91, barely entering the Quasi-Saint level, his comprehensive strength should not be underestimated by any Quasi-Saint!
Unlike usual, today, Jiang Liu quietly sat in the place of the Ming Sect Master, looking at all the people of the Ming Sect!
And before Jiang Liu stood the high-ranking mbers of the Ming Sect!
Each possessed the power to shake the Three Realms and Six Paths!
Gaoyang held the Green Duckweed Sword with attack power at the Quasi-Saint level!
Sun Wukong wielded the Jingu Bang which had rged with the Witch-Slaying Sword, extending beyond attack power, even attributes like defense and speed have reached the threshold of Quasi-Saint!
Additionally, Yuanling, holding the Ninety-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, touched the threshold of Quasi-Saint in terms of attack power!
Lastly, there’s Kunpeng, the Quasi-Saint at max level 100!
Besides Jiang Liu, there are four powerful individuals in the Ming Sect whose comprehensive strength, or a part thereof, has reached the Quasi-Saint level!
Apart from Gaoyang, Sun Wukong, Kunpeng, and Yuanling! Many other experts of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level exist within the Ming Sect as well!
Not to ntion Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the Little White Dragon from the Journey to the West group for now!
Then there’s Mysterious Bird, Scorpion Demon, Fahai, Demon King Ox, Red Boy, Long Eyebrow Immortal, Yellow Wind Monster, White Mouse Demon, Black Bear Demon, along with mbers led by Shangyang and Yinyuan from the ancient top ten Demon Gods clan…
These are also Great Luo Golden Immortal level beings!
Though without a Saint overlooking, the power of the Great Teaching is naturally incomparable to those like the Interpretation Sect and Sect of Intercepting!
But compared to Ancestor Minghe’s Netherworld Sect, it’s certainly not inferior and may even surpass it!
At this mont, everyone’s gaze fell upon Jiang Liu!
They could all feel the aura emanating from Jiang Liu’s body!
Right in the hall of the Ming Sect stood a lost soul, Jiang Ziya!
“Ladies and gentlen…”
Seeing the current might of the Ming Sect, with more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortal experts and so reaching the threshold of Quasi-Saint, Jiang Liu spoke!
As Jiang Liu spoke, everyone present was suddenly invigorated!
“You all know of Jiang Ziya’s death, and we also know the mastermind behind it, it’s the Jade Emperor, and Jiang Ziya’s Apricot Yellow Flag and God-Beating Whip have been seized by the Jade Emperor…”
As Jiang Liu spoke, the powerful individuals of the Ming Sect showed varying degrees of indignation on their faces!
“Today, I have gathered everyone here not for anything else, but for one thing, avenge Jiang Ziya!”
After elaborating on the situation, Jiang Liu set forth the purpose of gathering everyone here!
As these words were spoken, the powerful individuals present looked at each other!
“Master, there’s nothing to say. Last ti we defeated the Jade Emperor, this ti we should directly attack the Heavenly Court!”
As Jiang Liu concluded, Sun Wukong was the first to express his opinion!
“Great Saint, you are absolutely right!” As Sun Wukong finished, many of the powerful individuals nodded, echoing Sun Wukong’s sentints!
“Sect Master, we mustn’t…”
Today, with Jiang Liu seated in the position of Ming Sect Master before everyone, it naturally indicated his identity as the Ming Sect Master!
Thus, people beside him currently calling Jiang Liu Sect Master didn’t seem out of place at all.
The person speaking was Kunpeng, expressing a difference in opinion: “The Heavenly Court isn’t like other places; with countless formation arrangents. If we directly attack the Heavenly Court, they have the geographical advantage. Regardless of whether we win, even victory would result in a bloody and pyrrhic victory!”
“Indeed, the Demon Master’s reasoning is sound…” Following Kunpeng’s words, a few other powerful individuals also expressed agreent with Kunpeng’s thoughts!
Sitting in the position of Sect Master, looking at these Ming Sect high-ranking mbers who were in fierce disagreent, Jiang Liu remained calm!
In truth, having disputes amongst his subordinates isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
Of course, it’s not about the so-called balance of power by a ruler, but like discussing the divine path, there should be disagreents to spark creativity!
If during a discourse, everyone is harmonious, then what’s the point of discussing the Dao?
Likewise, if I propose an idea and everyone in the Ming Sect unanimously agrees, what would be the point of such discussions?
Overall, Sun Wukong’s words hold rit!
In the last battle between the Heavenly and Human factions, the Heavenly Court was defeated, so directly attacking the Heavenly Court for revenge may be plausible!
Over the years, the Heavenly Court has always been the aggressor. They haven’t tasted the consequences of being attacked, have they?
This opportunity to let the Jade Emperor experience such a taste could be interesting!
Of course, Kunpeng’s words have their rits too!
The Heavenly Court, after all, commands the Three Realms and Six Paths. Although recently the Human Emperor seized control of the Human Realm, and many strong figures like the Empress and Four Imperials have died, leading to an unprecedented decline!
But a starved cal is bigger than a horse, plus the Heavenly Court occupies the geographic advantage, it’s indeed not very suitable for a massive attack!
Both sides hold their own views! The debate never ends!
But overall, it’s all for the good of the Ming Sect!
When everyone couldn’t reach an agreent, finally, all eyes turned to Jiang Liu, waiting for him, as the Sect Master, to make the final decision!
“Everyone!”
Seeing the debates slowly co to a halt and the eyes focused on himself, Jiang Liu spoke up!
At the sa ti, he glanced around at everyone present and said, “Do you still rember the purpose and aim of our Ming Sect?”
“To overthrow the celestial beings!”
As Jiang Liu’s words fell, after a brief silence in the grand hall of the Ming Sect, Sun Wukong was the first to shout it out!
“Correct!” Jiang Liu nodded in response and said, “Our goal is to overthrow the rule of the celestial beings, that’s why we gathered together!”
“And the Journey to the West for Scriptures, reaching the Great Thunder Monastery, will be the day we completely break with the Buddhist Sect!”
At this point, Jiang Liu paused slightly and said, “For many years, although there has been a lot of competition between the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court in secret, on the surface, they’ve been supporting each other!”
“If a battle breaks out at the Great Thunder Monastery, following the principle that the loss of one part affects the whole, will the Heavenly Court assist the Buddhist Sect?”
“This…” Jiang Liu’s question left many present looking at each other before falling silent!
Everyone understood that this possibility cannot be ruled out!
Although the Sect Master and others have fallen out with the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist Sect has not!
“The Great Thunder Monastery is not far! The battle with Spirit Mountain is not far either!”
“I am still part of the Buddhist Sect now! If we can take this opportunity to first suppress the Heavenly Court, wouldn’t it be more advantageous than disadvantageous for us?”
Finally, Jiang Liu spoke, analyzing the situation with such words!
These words left those led by Demon Master Kunpeng speechless!
Indeed, initiating an all-out attack on the Heavenly Court, they hold the advantage of geography, and this war won’t be easy!
However, the Sect Master’s words also make sense!
If we strike now, we can defeat the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect separately!
If we wait until reaching Spirit Mountain and face both forces at once, that would surely be more challenging, right?
Therefore, considering this opportunity, taking action against the Heavenly Court is indeed imperative!
“But, Sect Master, if we are to take action against the Heavenly Court, what are our odds of winning?”
After a long silence, Kunpeng spoke, asking Jiang Liu!
Everyone else also looked at Jiang Liu seriously!
It was clear they were persuaded by Jiang Liu and agreed to take action against the Heavenly Court!
However, before acting, shouldn’t we first estimate our chances of victory?
“This ti, we must achieve total victory in one battle!” Glancing at Kunpeng, Jiang Liu stood up from his Sect Master’s throne and said earnestly.
“Achieve total victory in one battle!?” Jiang Liu’s words startled everyone in the grand hall.
Unexpectedly, the Sect Master is determined to win?
Of course, amidst the astonishnt, these strong figures of the Ming Sect felt their blood boiling!
The Sect Master’s words truly exude a powerful aura!
“Indeed! If we can subdue the Heavenly Court! It will ease our future battles against Spirit Mountain significantly!”
“If we can’t even subdue the Heavenly Court, surely we will suffer a miserable defeat when facing both the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court in the future!” Nodding, Jiang Liu spoke with a serious expression!
If we can’t even defeat the Heavenly Court, what talk is there of overthrowing the celestial beings?
It has to be said, the Sect Master’s words are indeed very reasonable and exude authority!
“So, does this battle concern the life and death of the Ming Sect?”
Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Kunpeng’s face also beca much more solemn as he spoke seriously!
“Yes, that’s about the size of it!” Jiang Liu nodded and didn’t deny it!
It’s indeed reasonable; if we can’t win against the Heavenly Court in a straightforward battle, the existence of the Ming Sect indeed seems unnecessary!
“Everyone, this battle is vital to the survival of the Ming Sect; only victory is allowed, defeat is not, understand?”
Finally, Jiang Liu looked around at everyone present and said earnestly.
These words bore the montum of burning one’s own boat!
“Understood!” Upon hearing this, everyone present responded in unison!
“Red Boy, open the Gang’s Treasury entirely! Allow everyone in the sect to pick suitable Dharma Treasures!”
“I, as the Sect Master, will be away for a few days! Seeking a few allies!”
“In this battle, everyone in the sect must put in full effort! Win in one battle!”
