The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 211 The Jade Emperor's Appreciation

Zhang Daoling's words are already stated here.

The Buddha himself knew what it meant.

Moreover, now is not the time to pretend to be ignorant.

Zhang Daoling's words just now represent the will of the Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor is appointed by Heaven to govern the Three Realms.

Even the Buddha himself is subject to the orders of the Jade Emperor.

Although Buddhism has developed rapidly in recent years, its strength has also expanded extremely quickly.

However, if one dares to openly oppose the Heavenly Court under the very nose of Heaven, that is insubordination and going against Heaven.

If he disobeys the Jade Emperor's order, he will suffer the consequences in Buddhism.

Therefore, even the Buddha knew at this moment that the situation was hopeless.

Although he was very unhappy, he had no choice but to give up on Moggallana now.

However, although the Buddha gave up on Maudgalyayana.

But he didn't want Zhang Tianlu to have an easy time either.

This kid is openly defying him. He dares to provoke me now. What will he be like when he grows up?

Therefore, Buddha planned to deal with this guy before leaving.

Buddha began to set a trap for Zhang Tianlu.

He said, "We will hand Maudgalyayana over to the Heavenly Court for disposal. But Zhang Tianshi, how should we deal with such a monster that has appeared among your lineage of Tianshi?"
This thing shouldn't exist in the Three Realms, should it?

When Buddha saw that his plan to save his disciple had failed, Zhang Tianlu had completely disrupted his plans.

Enraged, he wanted to drag him down with him.

It was stated directly.

Let the Heavenly Court deal with Zhang Tianlu as well.

Zhang Daoling turned his head and glanced at the Jade Emperor.

This time, the Jade Emperor spoke.

After all, this question was raised by the Buddha.

The relationship between Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Daoling is too close and therefore quite sensitive.

Therefore, Zhang Daoling was not in a position to speak on this matter.

The Jade Emperor said, "Among my three senior brothers of the Xuanmen, Senior Brother Tongtian founded the Jie Sect, which taught all beings without discrimination, allowing all spirits in the world to cultivate the Dao."

In both Buddhism and Taoism, there are many innate beings with myriad forms. My Xuanmen Taoism also follows the natural way. Although zombies are not within the Three Realms, they transcend the Five Elements.

But that doesn't mean they should be eliminated just because they appear. Even Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, was spared; how much more so should someone who has cultivated to become an immortal?

After the Jade Emperor uttered these words,
His stance is also very clear.

Although Zhang Tianlu is a zombie, the Jade Emperor wants to protect him.

It's not just because Zhang Tianlu is Zhang Daoling's grandson.

Moreover, he is on the Taoist side.

Based on today's incident, the Jade Emperor can see that although Zhang Tianlu's cultivation is a bit weak, he is quite bold.

He dared to stop the Buddha right in front of him; he's definitely a hawk among cultivators!

What their Taoist community lacks now is precisely this kind of hot-tempered, daring, and combative person.

If Zhang Tianlu is able to ascend to the Heavenly Court in the future.

It can be reused in the future.

After all, Zhang Tianlu himself came from the Longhu Mountain lineage.

First of all, his political background is fine. He is the grandson of Zhang Daoling, one of the Four Celestial Masters, and his family background is absolutely impeccable.

A pure Taoist school.

Secondly, given his identity as a zombie, there are many things that the Heavenly Court cannot openly do, and no one is willing to do them.

If Zhang Tianlu can ascend to immortality in the future, many things can be entrusted to him.

What is a zombie afraid of?
Therefore, in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, Zhang Tianlu was a capable person.

Furthermore, they could already sense that the next immeasurable calamity of the Three Realms was not far off.

The Heavenly Way has now repaid the Western destiny.

The next time will be when Buddhism and Taoism will completely determine who is superior, and at that time only one path will remain in the world.

Both sides are hoarding talent, so how could the Jade Emperor possibly sacrifice his own people at a time like this?
So Zhang Tianlu was saved. This is what Buddha heard.

They also knew that Zhang Tianlu was unable to move today.

Furthermore, the Jade Emperor brought up the story of the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Who in the Three Realms doesn't know that Sun Wukong is now a member of Buddhism?
Could Buddha not understand the Jade Emperor's hidden meaning?

Back then, you sent down the Journey to the West tribulation, helping your Western Buddhism flourish. Our Taoist Heavenly Court sent the monkey to cause trouble at the South Heavenly Gate, playing along with your act without holding it against you.

Now that I'm bailing out someone, what do you have to say?
Can Zhang Tianlu's matter be any bigger than Sun Wukong's?

The incident of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace can be considered a debt that Buddhism owes to the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, when the Jade Emperor brought up this matter, Buddha had nothing to say.

It's like the creditor bringing up old debts.

The Buddha could only turn away and leave.

Buddha said, “Since Your Majesty considers this so, then this old monk has nothing more to say. This old monk takes his leave.”

After the Buddha and the Jade Emperor paid their respects, the Buddha's light dissipated and vanished.

The Buddha's light in the lower realm dissipated.

Maudgalyayana's face was also filled with despair.

He had been hoping that the Buddha would take him away, but now it seems he has become a discarded pawn.

After the Buddha's light dissipated.

Zhang Tianlu also bowed to the Jade Emperor.

"Thank you for your guarantee, Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor looked at Zhang Tianlu from afar, his eyes revealing admiration.

He said, "Zhang Tianlu, actually, I admired you more than two thousand years ago. It's just a pity that you failed to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation back then and were unable to enter my Heavenly Court. It's truly a regrettable situation."

What I didn't expect was that you've risen from the dead and taken the path of the zombie. Although it's an unorthodox approach, it's not without its merits as a path to ascension. If you successfully ascend, come to my Heavenly Court, and I will certainly give you an important position."

The Jade Emperor spoke.

Then he sent down a wisp of black energy that pierced through the Heavenly Mirror and landed in front of Zhang Tianlu.

The Jade Emperor said, "This thing is a piece of primordial turbid energy. It was given to me by the Dao Ancestor when he was preaching, but it has never been of any use to me."

"Since you've already become a zombie, I'll give you this wisp of impure energy today to aid your cultivation."

Zhang Tianlu never expected that the Jade Emperor would personally deliver something to him today.

He looked at the wisp of primordial turbid energy in front of him; this thing was no ordinary matter.

It was created by the Taoist patriarch.

That is, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Back then, the Jade Emperor was just a junior attendant under Hongjun, and he gained many benefits by following Hongjun.

Including the current position of the ruler of the Heavenly Court.

This wisp of turbid air was one of the treasures bestowed upon him by the Dao Ancestor.

However, it was never of much use to him.

After all, the Jade Emperor cultivated the path of purity and righteousness, and this wisp of innate turbid energy had never been used.

It's no use keeping it in his hands; it's better to give it to Zhang Tianlu.

Zhang Tianlu accepted this wisp of foul air.

Then he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After he finished speaking, a notification sound rang in his ear.

"Host detected receiving a treasure from the Jade Emperor, joining the Daoist camp, and receiving the following rewards: [Demon Ancestor's Dao Bone], [Heart of a Chaos Zombie], [Eternal Undying Qi Cultivation Method], and 1000 million points!"

Joining the Heavenly Court faction also brought a bunch of rewards from the system.

Moreover, this time the rewards are better than ever before.

It is also true that fortune and wealth are found in danger.

The reason why Zhang Tianlu was able to win the Jade Emperor's favor this time was largely because he dared to block the Buddha on his own.

It was this imposing presence that made the Jade Emperor look at him with new respect.

Therefore, he deserves all of this.
