Chapter 373 - Hunting the Water God (2/2)

There was a huge hall in the illusion. Golden light flickered inside, and a peaceful aura circulated in all directions. A treasure flag was suspended in the middle of the hall, covering everything that happened there… Wen Jing arrived slightly later. She looked around and saw that the entire place was filled with Primordial Beasts that were about the same size as her. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly as she walked towards the empty meditation cus.h.i.+ons in the front row.

Are you testing us again, or are you trying to do something big? She pondered carefully and recalled the warning she received from the Water G.o.d twenty years ago. She immediately became wary. Most of the Primordial Beasts were alone. The hundreds of figures sitting there remained silent. No one sent a voice transmission or asked questions. Suddenly, she heard a chuckle coming from the depths of the hall. Two lantern-sized green beast eyes lit up in the corner. There seemed to be flames surrounding them. The Truth Listener divine beast slowly took two steps forward, but then it lay on the ground and let the young Daoist on its back move forward alone. It’s him again?

Wen Jing sneered in her heart and immediately understood something.

Ksitigarbha gestured for the beasts to not get up. He sat on the meditation cus.h.i.+on in front of him and smiled.

“Fellow Daoists, sorry for the wait.”

Responses echoed in the hall.

After a while, Ksitigarbha raised his hand and gestured. The entire hall quickly fell silent.

Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “I invited all of you to gather here today because I have something important to ask of you. Secondly, I’d like to thank all of you for your hard work over the years. Although the Western Sect cannot let you stand in front of the stage because of your backgrounds, the two teachers have seen the contributions you have made. After the Western Sect prospers, you will be given the due merit and reputation.” Daoist Wen Jing spat in her heart and thought to herself, How shameless. Ksitigarbha said loudly, “Let’s not talk too much. I invited everyone here today mainly to discuss something before doing anything. Do you know what I have done in the past twenty years?” Ksitigarbha squinted and smiled. “I’m searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d and have found something.” Daoist Wen Jing’s fingers trembled slightly, but her expression was normal and her aura was stable.

In the corner, azure light flickered around the Truth Listener divine beast. Ksitigarbha said slowly, “The Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d whose name is Li Changgeng, has foiled the Western Sect’s plan several times and caused us to suffer heavy losses. However, that person’s origins are rather mysterious. Even in the Heavenly Courts, he only uses his incarnation to move around. There is no need to talk about the various Sea G.o.d temples. All that could be found were his incarnations. What is he afraid of? It’s obvious that he’s afraid that his true body will be exposed. As long as his true body is exposed, he might be doomed!” At that point, the light in Ksitigarbha’s eyes was extremely dazzling. However, the corners of Daoist Wen Jing’s mouth twitched…

It was obvious that there was a misunderstanding there. That fellow was purely afraid of death. His real body would always follow that man when he went out for a stroll. A ferocious beast said in a low voice, “This Water G.o.d has been hiding all this while. Could it be that he has once committed endless negative karma?” “That makes sense. If that’s not the case, why didn’t Ren School announce to the public that he is a disciple of the Saint?” “I’m afraid that’s not all… Is it possible that the Water G.o.d is a woman?” The ferocious beasts contributed their imaginations. Daoist Wen Jing found a chance to interject and said, “Perhaps the Water G.o.d of Ren School is just like us.”

Ksitigarbha smiled and shook his head. He said, “Everyone, there’s no need to make wild guesses. From the Water G.o.d’s previous actions, we can determine that he belongs to the human race.

This can be deduced from the teachings of the Sea G.o.d Sect and their daily activities.”

After saying that, Ksitigarbha sighed softly. “It’s hard to find a rootless tree in the world. It’s very likely that the Water G.o.d’s background is in Ren School. According to the information that I had obtained from the dragon race, it is very likely that the Water G.o.d was chosen by the Great Daoist Master of Ren School because of his extraordinary talent and comprehension. He established the Sea G.o.d Sect to acc.u.mulate merit from incense offerings. The matter of the dragon race is Ren School’s test for him. However, what puzzled me was that in the past eighteen years, I had relied on Truth Listener’s ability to monitor the six immortal sects of Ren School but I did not obtain anything. It seems that the entire Ren School does not know that the Water G.o.d is a disciple of Ren School. Therefore, I decided to change my mind and use a slightly more intense method… Wen Jing?”

“What instructions do you have, Sir?”

Daoist Wen Jing blinked gently, her eyes filled with eagerness. Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “I want to choose someone from the Immortal Sect to cause trouble and force the Water G.o.d to appear. Then, I will use the karma between the demons and the Water G.o.d to get everyone and the experts of the demons to attack and kill the Water G.o.d. Wen Jing, you have fought with the Water G.o.d. Which of the six Immortal Sects of Ren School do you think will be the easiest to deal with?”

Besiege the Water G.o.d? Daoist Wen Jing smiled and said, “Of course I have to choose the most important immortal sects to the Ren School, such as the Carefree Immortal Sect and the Freedom Sect. However, I have something to ask you to consider.” “Oh?” Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “Just say it.” Wen Jing frowned and said, “The Water G.o.d is definitely not easy to deal with. He has the Golden Cicada’s Broken Wings in front of him and the battle of the Demon Ascension Mountain. His Spirit Explosion mystic technique is indeed a little scary.” “Hahahaha!” Ksitigarbha clapped and laughed. Then, he smiled and said, “Wen Jing, your worries are quite reasonable. However, Wen Jing, have you thought about it? We took the initiative to attack the Immortal Sect of Ren School this time. If he uses his incarnation to self-destruct, wouldn’t he destroy the city wall?”

Daoist Wen Jing looked enlightened. She smiled and said, “I was overthinking.”

Ksitigarbha waved his hand. “I won’t hide it from you. While you and I are discussing here, my plan has already begun. This time, the Immortal Sect that is going to lure the Water G.o.d to appear in the East Continent that I have chosen is… the Immortal Du Sect.”

A ferocious beast asked, “Lord, why did you choose such a remote sect? Even if the Immortal Sect of Ren School is destroyed, I’m afraid the Ren School will not react.” “Wrong,” said Ksitigarbha calmly. “Don’t underestimate the Immortal Du Sect. According to the information I obtained in the Immortal Du Sect, Wen Jing had once tried to destroy the sect. In the end, she seemed to have been defeated?”

Daoist Wen Jing immediately said, “That time, it was to plot against the Three Sects’ Meet. I wanted to destroy this Little Immortal Sect and give them some fun. Unexpectedly, Perfected Du’e rushed over in time and even alarmed the eldest disciple of the Saint of Ren School. The latter had almost tracked me down. Lord, are you prepared to deal with that Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect?” “It’s a small matter.” Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “I have already ordered 100,000 demons to attack the Carefree Immortal Sect in an hour. If the Great Daoist Master wants to appear, he will appear in the Carefree Immortal Sect.” Another ferocious beast asked, “What if the Great Daoist Master goes to the Immortal Du Sect? What should we do?”

The beasts expressed their worries.

“That’s right, Lord. The Great Daoist Master is powerful. It would only take a moment for him to rush to the Immortal Du Sect!”

“The Great Daoist Master took the Dharma treasure of the Saint that day…” “Lord Ksitigarbha, should we take our time to think about this? This is just sending us to our deaths.”

Ksitigarbha said calmly, “If the Great Daoist Master abandoned the Carefree Immortal Sect and went to help the Immortal Du Sect, there would obviously be something wrong with the Immortal Du Sect. In that case, we can conclude that the secret of Ren School is hidden in the Immortal Du Sect.

Wouldn’t the Water G.o.d’s background be confirmed?

Everyone, don’t worry. I will not let you appear in advance. The demons will scout the way.

As long as I can find where the Water G.o.d is hiding, I will plan again in the future.” “Sir, you’re really brilliant.” Daoist Wen Jing covered her mouth and chuckled. “If I’m not wrong, I’m afraid that what happened today is just part of your plan, Sir. Find the Water G.o.d and see if we can use the karma of the demons to get rid of him. Then, we can use this to push the demons into a corner and make them have no choice but to join our Spirit Mountain in the future. However, Lord Ksitigarbha, I have a question…” “Speak.” Wen Jing frowned and said, “Are the abilities of those demons trustworthy?” “Don’t worry.” Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “I have already arranged every step for those demons. They only need to follow my plan and nothing will go wrong. Wen Jing.” “I’m here.”

Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “Sometimes, it’s not a good thing to be too smart.”

Daoist Wen Jing’s smile stiffened. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Ksitigarbha’s smile did not change. He pretended that he did not see the ferocious glint in Daoist Wen Jing’s eyes and began to arrange for the ferocious beasts to attack next.

At that moment, the queen looked tough and worried.

Today, Ksitigarbha had repeatedly called her name because he clearly wanted to test her. With the troublesome fellow, the Truth Listener, beside her, she had to be wary.

However… Why did Ksitigarbha underestimate that fellow when he said that nothing would go wrong? Wen Jing was not sure if Ksitigarbha was human, but the Water G.o.d was real…

Ahem, I can’t say.

In the forest 15,000 kilometers southwest of the Immortal Du Sect in the East Continent where the Immortal Sects’ territories intersected, waves of aura that were hidden at all costs quietly gathered and surged towards the huge holes on the ground. In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak… Li Changshou paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He looked at the images in his heart and felt a little troubled.
