Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 967 - 622: The Demon Child Learns the Fishing Ruse, Future Buddhist Law Deceives the Golden Cicada
Great Demon Tao rejoiced at concealing his origins, but soon saw Golden Cicada openly summoning the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, the "aggrieved party," for a meeting. ๐ฏ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ก.๐๐๐ถ
Previously uncalled for, now it was a sudden demand to meet, obviously not for reminiscing.
This Buddhaโs son must be intending to inquire about the roots of [Peach Blossom God] from Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, so he can employ methods to subdue.
Tao Qian was still speculating when the Buddhaโs son and Bodhisattva were already face to face.
These two!
In terms of supernatural power, the Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, striving to break through tribulations and reach the Tribulation Immortal Realm, was assuredly superior.
However, comparing their identities, Golden Cicada did not lose at all, and seemingly due to some secret reasons, Golden Cicadaโs aura even overshadowed Seven Slaughter Bodhisattvaโs.
It was quite unexpected that the one to speak first was Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva.
She was seemingly unsurprised by Golden Cicadaโs presence in the Search God Realm, delivering a terrifying half-Buddha, half-demon divine sound:
"Golden Cicada, you have finally left Tang Country."
"You couldnโt hold back after only ten years of hibernation? Huh? No, the timing is not yet right, your forced actions will certainly bring numerous changes, still knowing this, you insist on initiating that Great Plan, isnโt there a major upheaval within the Search God Realm?"
"Has the day of collapse come earlier?"
Golden Cicada, upon hearing this, did not conceal anything and directly nodded in acknowledgment.
"The Bodhisattvaโs prediction is correct, for unknown reasons, the Search God Realm has become even more fragile."
"Just recently, I activated the origin, summoning [Heaven and Earth Ten Tribulations] into the world; if not for some calculations, it would have slaughtered all life within the Search God Realm."
"My Buddha saves all living beings, how can this delay any longer?"
Not speaking of these things was fine, but upon mentioning them, Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva instantly became furious.
The cold and majestic God Demon Body began to move, stomping and leaping within the Secret Realm, the disturbance akin to an apocalypse. She shouted angrily:
"Hypocritical Buddha Venerable, what is this talk of saving all living beings?"
"If so, why not save me once, only telling me about fate as if I should peacefully sit in dissolution, truly laughable."
"Now, I replace Buddha Heart with Killing Intent, feeling so joyful, who wants him to save?"
...
Under normal circumstances, Golden Cicada, as the second disciple of the contemporary Buddha Venerable of All Heavens Buddhism, upon hearing such "rebellious" words, would surely retort.
But at this moment, he did not.
Golden Cicada merely smiled faintly, choosing not to respond. Instead, he asked:
"Requesting Bodhisattvaโs presence this time is to resolve a confusion."
"Golden Cicada first left Tang Country, and now resides within Liang Countryโs borders, hearing that Bodhisattva once revealed Buddhist traces in this country, even descended an avatar, passing on a lineage... But later, for some unknown reason, the burgeoning foundation was usurped by an obscure wild god called [Peach Blossom God]."
"Even the avatar was lost."
"Having battled with this God Demon, Bodhisattva ought to know its origins, could you reveal something?"
"In return, Golden Cicada is willing to lend a helping hand to assist Bodhisattvaโs avatar [Fish Basket Guanyin] in liberating from leaving the world."
A transaction swiftly laid before Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva.
She discloses Great Demon Taoโs background, and Golden Cicada aids her in reclaiming the avatar.
In the Great Abyss Source Sea, where "transactions" are involved, deception, intrigue, and exchange abound, with Buddhist practitioners especially skilled.
A figure like Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, capable of stealing Buddha Tooth without consequences, is self-evident in such aspects.
Golden Cicada knew this, thus was prepared, ready to engage in verbal banter with Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva for a contest.
But to everyoneโs surprise, after listening to him speak, Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva was first astonished, then immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... You donโt know the background of that brat?"
"This is exciting, I do remember there are many Guanyin Temples within Tang Country, which you occupy."
"Hmm?"
Golden Cicada frowned upon hearing her words.
Then, surprisingly, Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva, without reservation, revealed all the background details and the previous battleโs secrets.
The Divination Worm could erase Buddha Cicada Monkโs memory, yet couldnโt cross so many worlds to erase Seven Slaughter Bodhisattvaโs; moreover, with her Taoist power and mana, even with the Divination Worm before her, it couldnโt affect her.
"The brat is no [Peach Blossom God], just a cunning Secret Demon Child."
"Feigning gods and ghosts, he swallowed my foundation in the Search and Shooting Realm, initially not a match for my avatar, but utilized some blame-shifting poison schemes, driving tigers to swallow wolves, consecutively attacking the avatars of Emperor Heavenly Talisman and Red Rope God, later somehow partnering with Compassionate Travel Guanyin."
"That wretch sent an avatar to assist that Secret Demon Child in taming my Fish Basket Avatar."
"Both her bloodline and heart soul were thoroughly severed; I presume that Secret Demon Child has already planted a [Soul Seal] within my avatar. If you wish to assist her, itโs simple: go now, cast a spell and eliminate that Secret Demon Child."
"Buddhaโs son subduing a demon is right and proper."
"Go swiftly, donโt delay, hahaha."
Having said this, Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva then actively severed the connection, no longer entangling with Golden Cicada.
This scene left the seven Great Devils behind Buddhaโs son in confusion.
Yet Tao Qian, hidden in the shadows, immediately understood the reason:
Regarding the Fish Basket Avatar and Seven Slaughter Armyโs foundations, Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva had already accepted losses, and a soul-sealed avatar, even if saved, might be too risky for her to reclaim.
Now she did not conceal, nor ask for benefits, but actively leaked information, only to sow "discord."
Causing dissension between Golden Cicada representing All Heavens Buddhism and Compassionate Travel Guanyin.
"Seven Slaughter Bodhisattva only knows me as [Secret Demon Child], yet doesnโt know Iโm backed by Spirit Treasure Subduing Evil Lord."
"Seeing I could invite Compassionate Travel Guanyinโs avatar, she likely thinks Compassionate Travel Guanyin has connections with Secret Demon Sect. This is understandable; in Daoist, Buddhist, Demon, and Devil, heresy and heterodoxy, all heavens Dao lineage... Which sect doesnโt have strong figures betting in all directions?"
