The Divine Tiger Kingdom celebrated its victory for a full week, and during this period, everyone in Heaven was in danger.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother have not yet come out of their shock and fear. They really did not expect that Zhao Lei's ability could actually compete with Tathagata.
Now the Jade Emperor was really scared. He looked at the Queen Mother and saw the same emotion in the Queen Mother's eyes.
The Queen Mother is also afraid, how could she not be afraid? If Zhao Lei is really that strong, even if everyone in heaven is thrown into it, he still won't be able to compete. The Queen Mother, who had been taking action against Zhao Lei before, was now speechless even when she opened her mouth.
One wrong step and the other wrong, Heavenly Court and the Divine Tiger Kingdom have now reached this unending situation. Tianting first caused a severe drought in the Divine Tiger Kingdom, and then flooded it with heavy rains. It also almost forced the Divine Tiger Kingdom to form an alliance with the Heavenly Court and attack Lingshan in an attempt to weaken the power of the Divine Tiger Kingdom.
When things have reached this point, there is probably no turning back.
There was perseverance in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she suddenly grabbed the Jade Emperor's hand, with a look of resignation.
"We must defeat the Divine Tiger Kingdom."
This puts the Jade Emperor in a difficult position. It would be fine if he could really defeat the Divine Tiger Kingdom. In the past, the Jade Emperor would never think there was any problem with this, but now, since Zhao Lei has the strength of Tathagata, the difference between wanting to defeat the Divine Tiger Kingdom and dreaming is not much different.
You know, Tathagata is someone who the Sanqing keeps a close eye on and even orders each other not to take action, but Zhao Lei has no agreement with the Sanqing.
If Zhao Lei is determined to destroy Tianting, I'm afraid Sanqing won't help him.
After all, he took the initiative to provoke the other party, and the other party's strength was too strong. There was no need for Sanqing to offend such a powerful existence for the sake of the decadent Jade Emperor.
Reality is such a rogue most of the time. Strength is the right to speak. Any help and resources you want can be obtained through strength. In the world of Journey to the West, a powerful person can often compete with an entire country.
People with extraordinary strength like Zhao Lei Tathagata Sanqing are like atomic bombs that can move independently in modern times. They are a huge threat wherever they go. Once they explode, they will be undone.
The Jade Emperor understood what the Queen Mother said very well. Their previous actions had completely offended the Divine Tiger Kingdom. Coupled with Zhao Lei's ambition, it was only a matter of time before they were beaten to heaven. There was no way they could escape.
Even if the Jade Emperor was unclear about all Zhao Lei's deeds since his debut, he has reviewed them all again now. He will never be soft on his enemies.
So what is the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother who has clearly targeted him, if not his enemy?
They couldn't beat them, but if they didn't fight, they would be waiting to die. The Jade Emperor felt desperate. Apart from hoping for the salvation of Sanqing, they seemed to have no way to survive.
But will Sanqing save him and the Queen Mother? The Jade Emperor was very uneasy.
Here, Li Jing, the King of Pagodas, sighed and prepared to go to his own residence, but he didn't expect to be intercepted halfway.
Looking at the three white-bearded old men in front of him, Li Jing immediately straightened his posture and saluted with his hands in hand.
"I wonder why the Three Saints are looking for me, Mr. Li?"
That's what he said, but Li Jing guessed that it was most likely because of Zhao Lei.
You must know that the Three Saints are at the level of saints. Even the Tathagata, the founder of Buddhism, is a step behind the others.
But even if he is just a little short of it, he is still the first person among the saints that the entire three realms dare not ignore. Sanqing will basically not take action, and at the same time it will restrict Tathagata from taking action. If not, Xitian will not go around in a big circle to learn from Xitian.
This is precisely because the Three Purities check and balance Tathagata, so they can only think of other more time-consuming and labor-intensive ways to seek benefits from the Central Plains.
But now, it is a fact that Tathagata was defeated. Li Jing believes that the Three Pure Ones have ways to distinguish the truth from the false.
So the reason why the Three Saints came to him was definitely related to what he said in front of the church. Regarding the matter of Zhao Lei carrying Tathagata with all his strength.
Sure enough, Yuanshi Tianzun was seen with a smile on his face, stroking his snow-white beard with his fingers, and said comfortingly: "You don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite. King Li Tian has worked hard this time, and he can't rest even after traveling and traveling. The three of me will not delay you." Too much time, what you just said in court about the monarch of the Divine Tiger Kingdom is true?"
"I will never dare to lie. I have indeed seen it with my own eyes." Li Jing immediately described the situation on the battlefield one by one, describing it from beginning to end, focusing on the battle between Tathagata and Zhao Lei after Tathagata appeared.
Sanqing listened and exchanged glances with each other, presumably also analyzing the information revealed in Li Jing's words.
After a long while, Li Jing finally closed his mouth and said no more. Sanqing pondered for a moment and then smiled again: "It seems that this battle is quite dangerous. It is really a great blessing for King Li Tian to escape unscathed. The sky has turned so dark. Tonight, the three of us will take our leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Jing's reply, the three of them drove away in Xiangyun without looking back.
Seeing this situation, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't lie, he didn't even make any modifications. It was just that when he faced Sanqing just now, he felt so stressed for some reason and the atmosphere was simply suffocating.
Over there, Sanqing was walking on the road and ignored Li Jing who was left behind. They had something more important to discuss, and that was Zhao Lei.
"Listening to King Li Tian's words, the strength of the Divine Tiger True Monarch is indeed comparable to that of Tathagata. In the end, he seems to have defeated Tathagata."
"You and I are all living saints. It is not easy for the Tathagata to touch the edge of the quasi-sage. If it is true as King Li Tian said, the Divine Tiger King can defeat the Tathagata, I am afraid that he has already entered the realm of the quasi-sage."
"Nowadays, spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, and even cultivation is not easy. It's surprising that some people can become quasi-sages in just a thousand years..."
The Daode Tianzun did not finish his words, but the other two Tianzun understood what he wanted to express and nodded.
Yuanshi Tianzun even said with an attitude of approval: "He is indeed the proud son of heaven. I'm afraid that his appearance is related to the way of heaven."
Yuanshi Tianzun raised his head and looked beyond the nine heavens, where the great road was. Lingbao Tianzun followed his gaze and immediately frowned. He simply said in a deep voice.
"Yuanshi, what did you see?"
Unexpectedly, Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head: "I didn't see anything."
The expressions of the two saints on the side suddenly changed. This is Yuanshi! The strongest among the three of them is Yuanshi, and the one closest to Heaven is also Yuanshi, but he didn't see anything?
Yuan Shi ignored the shock of the two people beside him and continued: "Ever since the True Lord Divine Tiger planned to defeat Lingshan, I have been interested in him."
"But what's strange is that as Yuanshi, the person closest to the way of heaven, I have never seen any information about the True Monarch of the Divine Tiger in the way of heaven, as if he never belonged to this world."
"To this day, I have not been able to see through the secrets of heaven, and I have not been able to see the existence of True Lord Divine Tiger in the way of heaven."
Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun couldn't help but look at each other. Before, they only thought that it was really surprising that a new saint could be born in this world. So now, they are no longer in such a relaxed state of mind.
Even Yuanshi couldn't see his existence in the heaven. What is the origin of this True Lord Divine Tiger?
Lingbao Tianzun frowned and looked back at Nantianmen.
"There is destined to be a battle between the Heavenly Court and the Divine Tiger. Now, even you can't see through the Divine Tiger. Do we care about this battle or not?"
Not only Yuanshi Tianzun, but also Daode Tianzun fell into silence. The three saints stopped in the air and looked at the heaven from a distance, and no one spoke.
After a long time, I heard Yuanshi Tianzun speak.
"We have no contract with True Lord Shenhu. Even if we can see through his secrets, we cannot restrict his actions."
"If you insist on interfering in this battle, you will definitely fight against that divine tiger. If you and I are in such a state, this world may not be able to support it."
"So regardless of whether we can see through Shenhu, we should not participate in this battle."
After listening to what Yuanshi Tianzun said, his two brothers nodded their heads in agreement.
The three of them had thought so from the beginning. Although the Jade Emperor was on the list of gods, he was no longer what he was before.
Foolish, incompetent and arrogant, he had sat on the throne for so long that he had long been obsessed with power. It was the Jade Emperor who took the initiative to provoke Zhao Lei. Now even if someone comes knocking on his door, it is the Jade Emperor who asked for it.
If he can't beat him and is defeated, that's his own problem. Therefore, from the beginning, the Three Saints did not intend to interfere in the grudge between the Jade Emperor and the Divine Tiger.
It should be noted that they are the Three Saints, not employees of the Heavenly Court, nor the bodyguards of the Jade Emperor.
Although the mystery about Zhao Lei made Lingbao Tianzun shaken, the appearance of this person was so bizarre that he couldn't help but be wary. But Yuanshi Tianzun has said so, and it must be fine, so there is no need to meddle in such nosy matters.
So Sanqing continued to leave Nantianmen together. Daode Tianzun twirled his beard and smiled happily.
"I think I should prepare some gifts."
"What are you doing to prepare a gift?"
"Heaven is about to change its owner, so prepare some gifts as a celebration?"
"Well, it's time to prepare some greeting gifts."
As he spoke, Sanqing's back gradually disappeared.
The Jade Emperor didn't know Sanqing's decision and was still suffering in his own brainstorm. If he knew that Sanqing had completely planned to leave him alone, he didn't know what would happen.
As for Zhao Lei, he has no plans to attack Heaven any time soon. The Shenhu Kingdom had just finished attacking Lingshan. Although there was not much damage, even a demon would feel exhausted from marching back and forth. His people still needed to cultivate themselves, and it was impossible to start a war with Heaven right away anyway.
It just so happens that I can take this time to prepare for the war.
After experiencing the battle with Lingshan Tathagata, Zhao Lei became more confident in himself and became more calm facing the heaven.
He thought very clearly that there was nothing worthy of his attention in Heaven. With his current strength, as long as Sanqing did not take action, he could defeat Nantianmen alone. There is only one thing that needs to be done now, which is to recharge your batteries.
Lingshan is no longer in the best condition. Even if he wants to come out of the mountain again, he has to wait until Tathagata recovers from his injuries.
Zhao Lei estimated that it would take hundreds of thousands of years to fully recover from the heavy injury he had given to Tathagata. Therefore, even if Lingshan wants to make a comeback, it will have to be hundreds of thousands of years later.
As for Guanyin, Zhao Lei is not afraid of her. Guanyin has a short temper and although she has a flexible mind, she is actually not useful. Her strength is also quite satisfactory, and she may have some advantages against other monsters in the Divine Tiger Kingdom, but not to mention Zhao Lei, even black sheep, white deer, black bear spirits, six-eared macaques and other monsters are not necessarily afraid of her.
It can be seen that Lingshan is completely unnecessary, so Zhao Lei no longer thinks about Lingshan.
At this moment, it was announced that Bai Lu was coming. Zhao Lei was stunned. What was he doing here?
Originally, there was no need for Bailu to come to Zhao Lei, and there was nothing important he needed to do with Zhao Lei, but there was nothing to do, so he couldn't help but be curious.
Bailu did not participate in the battle with Lingshan this time. He, the six-eared macaque and others were guarding the Divine Tiger Kingdom to prevent others from stealing their homes, so they wanted to know the specifics of this battle.
But unfortunately, as soon as the Shenhu Army came back, they started drinking under the leadership of Black Bear Jing. Now, each of the Black Bear Jing guys drank more than the last, and no one could speak clearly. Bai Lu had no choice but to look for Zhao Lei. .
After hearing Bai Lu's intention, Zhao Lei couldn't stop laughing, but he still briefly explained the situation of the battle, and then asked Bai Lu if anything happened in the city.
Bai Lu shook his head.
"That's not true." Halfway through his words, Bai Lu suddenly thought of something and said, "But the Snow Girl came to see me specifically."
"Yuki-onna?"
If Bai Lu didn't mention it, he would almost forget about this monster. After Xue Nu came out of prison, although she didn't do anything in the Divine Tiger Kingdom, she never did anything for the Divine Tiger Kingdom.
She followed the jade-faced fox all day long. She followed the jade-faced fox wherever he went, just like a humanoid background. Over time, Zhao Lei completely ignored her.
Now when I suddenly heard Bai Lu mention it, I suddenly felt very strange. Why is this Snow Girl suddenly looking for Bai Lu?
What I thought in my heart, I naturally asked the same question.
"Why is the Snow Girl looking for you?"
"She said that when the war between the Divine Tiger Kingdom and Heaven begins, she will go to the battlefield together."
When Bai Lu said this, his expression was a little solemn. War is not a trivial matter. Even if my eldest brother is super powerful, he cannot prevent all accidents. It is never wrong to be careful.
And the snow girl...
Bai Lu was really worried. Not to mention him, the entire Shenhu Kingdom was worried about the Snow Girl, and only the jade-faced fox was defenseless against her.
After all, this woman is a surrendered general of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, and unlike other surrendered generals, Xue Nu has not explicitly joined the Divine Tiger Kingdom until now. In other words, she is in Cao Ying, and she doesn't know where her heart is.
It was too dangerous to bring such a person to the battlefield, so even though Xue Nu said that, Bai Lu did not agree immediately, but discussed it with Zhao Lei.
After all, the real person in charge of the Shenhu Kingdom is Zhao Lei. Whether the Snow Girl should be allowed to accompany him or not, it doesn’t matter what others say, only what Zhao Lei says counts.
Zhao Lei pondered for a long time, but did not immediately answer Bailu, but asked him to step aside first.
Why does this Snow Girl follow the Divine Tiger Kingdom to attack Heaven? What is the purpose? (End of chapter)
