Chapter 546: Chapter 545: The Daoist Court Seeks to Unify the Eastern Domain, and the Whole World Is Panicking [Part 1]

The proclamation from the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court spread to every corner of the Eastern Immortal Realm.

As it shocked the entire Eastern Immortal Realm, it also dropped the jaws of the entire Grand Thousand Upper Realm.

"So, that Immortal Court, instead of figuring out how to defend itself in the face of a Heavenly Dao catastrophe, is actually planning to expand in reverse?"

The whole world was shaken. Countless forces felt that the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court was simply insane.

"Its declaration of war has spread throughout the Eastern Immortal Realm, which means that this Daoist Court wants to unify the entire East, just like the Western Heaven!"

"Too crazy, it’s just an Immortal Court! On what basis does it dare to have such ambition?"

Since the Journey to the West era, in the hundreds of thousands of years, aside from the regions governed by the Ancient Celestial Court reaching unparalleled levels, only the Western Heaven Buddha Country truly turned an entire Immortal Realm into its territory.

The other two top forces, the Demon Race Celestial Court and the Great Qin Celestial Court,

all inevitably had the presence of other forces within their boundaries.

The Demon Race Celestial Court has never truly completely controlled the Northern Immortal Realm.

In the Central Immortal Realm of the Great Qin Celestial Court, there are still many outside forces.

And these are Celestial Court level forces that haven’t even completely controlled a single continent!

The Eastern Desolate Daoist Court, an Immortal Court level force only established a few years ago, actually dares to dream of unifying the entire East.

Such ambition, such audacity.

How could people not be shocked?

"I understand now, they want to advance, want the Immortal Court to ascend to a Celestial Court!"

Many forces have reacted, realizing the Daoist Court’s madness in expansion.

"But this is simply unfathomable..."

"Since ancient times, any force subjected to Heavenly Dao’s punishment either disintegrates or becomes extinct. I’ve never heard of a force remaining intact, yet this Eastern Desolate Daoist Court, under such circumstances, still dreams of advancing to a Celestial Court?"

"Isn’t it too delusional?"

"There’s no such precedent in history!"

Many powerful figures couldn’t help but shake their heads, finding the ambitions of the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court ridiculous.

But a few people expressed,

"This might not be impossible."

"Don’t forget, the Lord of the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court is the first under the Saints."

"In the absence of Saints, which Quasi-Saint can stop him?"

"And even without his terrifying presence, the Daoist Court houses Sun Wukong, the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts, and that figure from the Demon Realm, three Quasi-Saints, which already forms Celestial Court level power!"

"Not to mention they possess the Nether Lord Banner, the Book of Life and Death, and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords!"

"Whether they truly ascend to a Celestial Court or not, in terms of conquering the Eastern Immortal Realm, there’s likely no force in the East that can withstand their army!"

This statement gained much agreement.

"Indeed, the strength of the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court can already match Celestial Court level forces."

"In the Eastern Immortal Realm, although there are Quasi-Saints, they are mostly reclusive free immortals. Unless they unite, they certainly can’t stop the Daoist Court’s progress."

"But how many Quasi-Saints must join forces to stop the first under Saints?"

Many people lamented.

The power of that Daoist Lord is too terrifying, making him appear as a colossal existence, instilling fear at the mere thought.

"So, next, it’s time for the beings of the Eastern Immortal Realm to make a choice."

"Will they surrender immediately, or fight to the death?"

"Or perhaps abandon their homeland and scatter in all directions?"

"It truly is a headache-inducing choice..."

...

...

Demon Race Celestial Court.

At that time, the chaotic world demons had all heard about the Eastern Immortal Realm’s situation, which both shocked them and filled the hall with curses and complaints.

"Arrogant, simply arrogant!"

"The Eastern Immortal Realm, with its myriad forces, how complex is it? Besides the Ancient Celestial Court barely unifying it back in the day, the current Buddha Country, Great Qin, and us can only slowly infiltrate and gradually erode it."

"Yet, this damn Daoist Court, less than ten years since its establishment, already dreams of unifying the Eastern Domain!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Does he truly think we don’t exist?"

"Demon Ancestor, I request permission to lead an army across the North Sea and strike directly at the main base of the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court!"

"Indeed, I believe Great Qin and Western Heaven should be equally furious now. With just a few envoys, they would certainly be willing to form an alliance for a crusade!"

"We observed the Daoist Court’s rise early on, and under no circumstances can we let them expand further now!"

"Demon Ancestor, I volunteer to be the vanguard, to break the Daoist Court, capture the traitors, and seize the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts, Long-armed Ape, to shake the world!"

"Same here!"

The killing intent in the Demon Palace soared to the sky, and the demon kings present were righteously indignant, eager to campaign against the Eastern Desolate.

However, the Demon Ancestor, seated high on the Evil Dragon Bone Throne, remained silent throughout.

Its expression was not pleasant, clearly also extremely furious about the Eastern Domain’s issue.

But besides anger, as a generation’s Demon Ancestor, what it felt more was helplessness.

"The last turmoil within Western Heaven caused profound impacts on the Buddha Country, even shaking the belief of the Buddha Country’s beings."

"Currently, with no one in charge, how could those Buddhas dare take any risks?"

"The most crucial is, the Saint Tathagata should be nearing his return to the world."

"For them, doing nothing now, waiting honestly for Tathagata’s return, is the safest option."

"Therefore, the Western Buddha Country will definitely not dispatch troops."

The Demon Ancestor’s tone was highly helpless.

It was well aware that the Buddhas of Western Heaven were now all waiting for Tathagata’s return.

At this critical juncture, they couldn’t engage in any risky actions.

This was firstly to protect themselves and secondly, not to bear the responsibility.

After all, last time the Nine Great Buddhas failed to retain that figure, it already created significant impacts in the Buddha Country. Now to let them lead the army into the Eastern Domain again.

If victorious, all would be fine.

If defeated or they return without success, the impact on faith would be unimaginable.

And most importantly, the Eastern Domain and Western Heaven are too far apart!

By the time the army gathers and arrives, it could be measured in years.

But without bringing a large army, relying on a few strong individuals, what will offset the Immortal Court’s fortune?

That Daoist Lord was already such a monster on the Buddha Country’s home turf.

Imagine on his own home field...

"Are we just going to watch as the Daoist Court unifies the Eastern Domain?"

The demon kings beneath showed expressions of reluctance.

There were numerous Demon Race forces stationed in the Eastern Immortal Realm, most of the former seventy-two cave demon kings were there.

These were the Demon Race Celestial Court’s forces, infiltrated over many years, painstakingly nurtured. They were really unwilling to hand it over.

Seeing this, the Demon Ancestor could only comfortingly say, "Well then, send someone to the Great Qin Celestial Court to probe their intentions, that Ancestral Dragon recently merged with Ying Gou’s body, with its ambition, surely it would make some move."

The demons, hearing this, couldn’t help but frown.

Because last time the Demon Race Celestial Court had turmoil, Great Qin was involved behind the scenes.

"No need to go."

At this point, a Ghost-faced Lion King strode in and said coldly, "As soon as the proclamation from the Eastern Desolate Daoist Court was issued, Great Qin’s forces in the Eastern Domain, Kuimu Star Palace, have already voluntarily withdrawn."
