If that’s the case, could they perhaps emulate this and then snatch away the believers?
"Your Majesty, this humble official has been hearing daily discussions among mortals and even Exorcists. They say that simply reciting the "ditation thod" can make one stronger. Ordinary people reportedly beco free from illness and their constitutions strengthened, while Cultivators find their Cultivation Levels enhanced..." With hesitation, Shun Feng’er reported what he had heard.
"How is that possible?"
"Even if the West is wealthy, it couldn’t withstand such consumption!"
"It’s completely not worth it!"
The Immortal Gods widened their eyes in disbelief. They, too, could enhance the physical constitution of believers and increase their Cultivation Levels. But it ca at a great cost, especially for increasing Cultivation Levels, which required consuming a massive amount of the Power of Faith; it simply wasn’t worth the loss. Therefore, they would only occasionally perform divine miracles, bestowing a little divine grace as a show for other believers.
"Are you certain that every believer has received divine grace, and receives it with every prayer?" the Jade Emperor asked Shun Feng’er with utmost seriousness.
Shun Feng’er’s mind trembled. Thinking of the imposing figure he had seen, he clenched his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this humble official believes that this is not a trick by Tathagata but rather that there truly is a God of Hongng."
"This humble official heard the excited discussions of mortals and Exorcists and couldn’t help but recite the "ditation thod" himself. I saw an indescribable and terrifying existence. Afterward, my Cultivation Level was enhanced, and it has improved every ti I prayed!"
"What? Shun Feng’er, you’ve actually beco a follower of Tathagata?" The Immortal Gods stared at Shun Feng’er, so in shock, others in anger.
The Jade Emperor’s face also showed a trace of coldness.
The atmosphere in the great hall instantly beca oppressive.
"Your Majesty, this humble official is not a follower of Tathagata, but of the God of Hongng!" Under the gaze of many eyes, Shun Feng’er felt his scalp tingle and said through gritted teeth, "If Your Majesty does not believe , find any Immortal God to recite it once, and it will prove whether my words are true!"
"Which loyal subject is willing to try?" The Jade Emperor frowned slightly and looked at the assembled Immortal Gods in the Lingxiao Palace, his heart filled with uncertainty. Is it really not Tathagata, but so other Immortal God who has appeared?
"I’ll do it!" Nezha stepped forward directly. It was just reciting the "ditation thod" once, wasn’t it? He wasn’t afraid. He wanted to see if it was a trick played by Tathagata.
"Good!" The Jade Emperor nodded slightly.
Under the watchful eyes of countless Immortal Gods, Nezha did not hesitate and began to recite the "ditation thod".
Pairs of eyes watched, tense and wary.
As the last word fell, Nezha’s body trembled. He saw a great and indescribable existence.
He stood there, as if at the center of Chaos. Around him, countless worlds, spacetis, and universes were born every mont, while countless others were destroyed. He was like the Path that had existed since the beginning of ti—
Ancient.
Eternal.
Immortal.
...
A mont later, Nezha awoke from his trance, his eyes full of shock. He excitedly proclaid, "Your Majesty, I have seen the truly eternal and supre True God! Look, my Cultivation Level has indeed improved sowhat. The God of Hongng is truly terrifying, beyond description with words, beyond depiction with language! He seed to be The Sovereign of everything. The world exists because of Him, the universe exists because of Him. He is One, He is All, He is the Path!"
The Jade Emperor and the other gods looked at the fervently zealous Nezha, dumbstruck and exchanging glances. Could this be possible? Had Nezha been bewitched by Tathagata and gone mad? This "ditation thod" was too eerie. No wonder it could spread so quickly.
"Uh..." Sensing the bizarre looks from those around him, Nezha ca to his senses. He hurriedly cald himself and explained, "Rest assured, I haven’t gone mad, nor have I been influenced by Tathagata..."
After Nezha’s repeated explanations, along with Shun Feng’er corroborating his account, the gods were half-convinced and conducted tests with a few more Immortal Gods.
The result was self-evident.
Including the Jade Emperor, all the Immortal Gods beca followers of Hongng.
Lingxiao Palace seed to have transford into the site of a grand worship ceremony, with every Immortal God excitedly and devoutly reciting the "ditation thod."
"With this "ditation thod," I can surpass Tathagata within a hundred years." The Jade Emperor’s eyes were full of excitent. His position as Jade Emperor had been quite frustrating. He couldn’t defeat King Wukong the King of Demons, nor could he defeat Tathagata of Xitian.
But why would that Demon Monkey want to spread such precious scriptures? If I had obtained such scriptures, I would certainly treasure them, quietly reciting them by myself to beco stronger alone. I would definitely not share them. Unless... spreading it brings even greater benefits! The Jade Emperor cald down, realizing that sothing seed amiss.
He knew King Wukong the King of Demons very well. That one was a complete demon—ferocious, cunning, cruel, quick-tempered, vengeful, daring, and lawless. He would never do anything that didn’t benefit him.
The other Immortal Gods nodded, a surge of excitent suddenly flaring in their hearts. If even such miraculous scriptures were being used for preaching, then how imnse must the benefits of that preaching be?
"Your Majesty, I think we can investigate to see what benefits the Demon Monkey has gained from preaching. Then, we can go preach too!" Taibai Jinxing suggested.
"Good, I will go myself!" The Jade Emperor’s eyes lit up. Faced with the possibility of such huge benefits, he couldn’t sit still. He wouldn’t be at ease without going personally.
And so, the Jade Emperor, accompanied by the Immortal Gods, set off for Chang’an.
「Eternal Continent.」
Yaochi, Zizhu Residence.
After another round of detoxification treatnt, Ji Hongxia’s lovely face was flushed, her beautiful eyes hazy. She leaned contentedly against Hongng’s warm and strong chest.
Newlyweds’ bliss. They were inseparable as glue.
By now, the poison had taken deep root, causing her to seek out Hongng for detoxification daily. Hongng truly understood what a vexing Little Demon she was. It was simply frightful. If he hadn’t been so robust, he really wouldn’t have been able to endure such bliss. He feared he would be ground down from an iron pestle to a needle!
He embraced his sweetheart from behind, holding her soft and delicate body. Both of them remained silent.
At this mont, silence was indeed golden.
Ji Hongxia was carefully relishing the relief and pleasure following the detoxification.
anwhile, Hongng was partly monitoring the chat group and partly sensing the preaching status of his followers across various worlds.
"King Wukong the King of Demons, this monkey is quite fast, huh? Even the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court have beco my followers!" Feeling the continuously soaring numbers of followers in the World of Journey to the West, Hongng smiled inwardly, very pleased. He liked followers who had such zest. Unfortunately, Fahai, who had recently joined, had yet to make any move; Fahai himself had not even beco a believer yet.
"DING. An anomaly has been detected in the world of "I Refuse to Be Zhao Gao." It is experiencing an invasion of Alien Demons. Master, please eliminate the Alien Demons promptly. Reward: 10,000 Points."
Suddenly, a notification audible only to him rang. Hongng’s heart stirred; he hadn’t expected another transmigrator to appear! Moreover, it was in the Mythical World where Gao Yao resided.
Transmigrators were walking treasure troves; perhaps he could even obtain a wisp of Hongng Purple Qi. Hongng was very much looking forward to it. Although he knew there seed to be a terrifying hidden manipulator behind these transmigrators, he had already offended them twice. He didn’t mind offending them a third, a fourth, or even countless tis. It had always been a matter of ’never’ or ’countless tis.’ Once the first step was taken, it was very difficult to turn back.
With previous experience, Hongng slightly modified the task and then posted it in the group:
"DING. Urgent mission detected! An anomaly has occurred in the world of "I Refuse to Be Zhao Gao," which is experiencing an invasion of Alien Demons. Group mbers, please eliminate the Alien Demons promptly. Rewards will be based on mission performance and will vary, including Divine Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques."
