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

Chapter 262 Bald Monk: Your life is coming to an end!
The Buddhist and Taoist eons!

The moment those four words were uttered, even the Four Celestial Masters gasped in shock.

The meaning behind these four words is far too cruel.

Under the great calamity, even saints cannot protect themselves.

This was already proven during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, when all the Heavenly Saints were directly expelled from the world by Hongjun and were not allowed to enter the prehistoric world again.

In the face of immeasurable calamity, who can remain unscathed?
If the Buddhist and Taoist forces were to clash, one side would inevitably be utterly defeated.

It's really hard to say whether Buddhism or Taoism will ultimately prevail.

Moreover, this time, even saints might perish.

After all, among the many saints, Cundi and Jieyin belong to the Western Buddhist sect.

The Three Pure Ones belong to the Taoist school!
If Heaven and Earth were to completely eradicate one of the ways, they would inevitably eradicate even the sages.

This is going a bit too far!

This great calamity is probably second only to the calamity of creation!

The worst calamity I've ever feared!
No wonder the Buddha of the Western Paradise changed his attitude so quickly and so recklessly.

It's highly likely that this is because he also sensed the content of this great calamity.

Only one of the Buddhist and Taoist schools can survive.

Under such a cruel calamity, it becomes understandable why the Buddha was no longer willing to harass the Jade Emperor.

In a war where it's a matter of life and death, whoever backs down dies!

The Jade Emperor told the Four Celestial Masters this news so that they wouldn't hold back in this life-or-death situation and would use all their abilities.

In a time of life and death, whoever hides or conceals anything is courting death.

The four celestial masters understood the situation and nodded in agreement.

"Rest assured, Jade Emperor, we will do our utmost to glorify our Daoist sect!"

The Four Celestial Masters are the backbone of Taoism. They will naturally serve Taoism. After all, if Taoism is gone, they will be gone too. We are all in the same boat and can't escape.

After receiving the attitudes of the Four Celestial Masters, the Jade Emperor nodded.

Then he continued, "But don't worry, this great calamity is different from the past. I have long discovered that it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to contact the saints in the Chaos Palace."

Even communication with the Dao Ancestor is becoming increasingly difficult, and I believe it is the same for Tathagata!
Therefore, I judge that in this great calamity, Heaven probably does not want the Sages to directly interfere in our affairs.

Saints have their own rules to uphold; if no saint intervenes, we just need to mind our own business!

The reason why no sages intervened is most likely because the Great Dao of Heaven detected that the number of sages on the Daoist side was one more than that on the Buddhist side.

After all, the Taoist sages are the Three Pure Ones.

Western saints are only Cundi and Jieyin.

In a three-on-two situation, if a sage were to intervene, the West would undoubtedly perish.

This does not conform to the rules of the Great Dao's struggle, so this time the Heavenly Dao forbade the sages to participate, and only allowed the lesser ones to compete below.

Whoever wins will become the sole protagonist in the world.

At that time, the Great Dao will directly annihilate the saints of the defeated camp.

This time, the sage's life was also entrusted to them.

Even the Jade Emperor couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness.

Truly, under the great Dao, all are like ants.

Even if one cultivates to become a saint, one cannot control one's own destiny during the great eons!
The Jade Emperor finished speaking.

The Four Celestial Masters left the Lingxiao Palace.

After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, the Four Celestial Masters were also burdened with worries.

After all, the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism is imminent, so who can be at ease?
At the North Heavenly Gate, Ge Xuan and Sa Shoujian bid farewell to Zhang Daoling and the others.

Ge Xuan said, "Master Zhang, then we will head west first. Take care on your journey!"

Ge Xuan and Sa Shoujian were ordered by the Jade Emperor to go to the Western Paradise to monitor the Buddhist sect's every move.

Therefore, they can choose to leave the Heavenly Court at the North Heavenly Gate.

After all, the South Heavenly Gate was guarded by Li Jing and Nezha, and the West Heavenly Gate was watched over by the Buddha.

Going out through these two heavenly gates will inevitably attract the attention of the West, making it difficult to complete the surveillance mission.

Although the North Heavenly Gate is a bit of a detour, it is guarded by the True Martial Emperor of Taoism.

Western spies and informants cannot enter the North Heavenly Gate, so it is the safest place to leave.

Ge Xuan and Sa Shoujian transformed into streaks of light and departed, heading west. Zhang Daoling and Xu Jingyang exchanged a glance at that moment.

I've decided to set off.

The two of them were responsible for guarding the mortal realm, serving as Zhang Tianlu's protectors.

One person is responsible for entering the underworld and guarding it.

The two set off separately, heading to their respective destinations.

……

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm,

The earthquake incident in Panshan City has been largely resolved, and the rescue mission has been basically completed.

After Zhang Tianlu's matter was resolved, Zhang Tianlu returned to Fenglei Mountain.

This time I can finally have some peaceful time to cultivate myself.

The Buddhist sect has suffered a severe blow this time, and the Heavenly Court will be watching it closely. In the short term, it will not dare to cause any more trouble in the mortal realm.

As long as the Buddhist sect doesn't intervene, Zhang Tianlu basically doesn't need to worry about external affairs.

We can leave the outside affairs to Longhu Mountain and Xuanzhen.

Zhang Tianlu's trip to Panshan City was indeed extremely dangerous, but it also brought tremendous opportunities.

Because this time in Panshan City, he was almost killed by three Buddhist celestial-level Venerables who joined forces to scheme against him.

However, after escaping from a desperate situation and killing the three Venerables, Zhang Tianlu also gained tremendous benefits.

The benefit was that he obtained three celestial corpses.

This is the corpse of a true immortal.

Zhang Tianlu brought the three bodies of Buddhist venerables back to Fenglei Mountain, where he took them out and threw them on the ground.

These guys from the Buddhist sect who have been working for Zhang Tianlu on Fenglei Mountain.

At this moment, they saw the three celestial corpses of Buddhist gods and immortals brought over by Zhang Tianlu.

They were also stunned.

"Zhang Tianlu, you! You killed my Buddhist master?"

"How dare you! Aren't you afraid that the Buddha himself will kill you? You even dare to kill a Venerable One?"

"With your cultivation level, this is impossible. Who helped you?"

These few bald monks from the Buddhist sect have been working for Zhang Tianlu on Fenglei Mountain for years, constantly cultivating corpse beans and becoming nothing more than laborers.

But it's rare that these guys still have their hearts set on Buddhism.

At this moment, Zhang Tianlu was seen returning with the corpses of three Venerables.

They couldn't help but feel horrified and condemn it.

Zhang Tianlu sneered: "So what if they were killed? They were just three Venerables. These little Celestial Immortals schemed against me; they deserved to die!"

"Besides, it's not like I haven't faced the Buddha before. That brat Tathagata has tried to kill me many times but failed. Why would I be afraid?"

Zhang Tianlu was not intimidated by Buddha at all.

He had long been on the Western Thunderclap Temple's kill list.

The Buddha wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible.

But he just couldn't kill him, and Zhang Tianlu said he was also helpless!

You want to kill him but can't? Aren't you angry?

Seeing Zhang Tianlu's arrogance.

These bald Buddhist monks angrily cursed, "You won't be arrogant for long. Buddha Tathagata will surely kill you."

"That's right, you can just wait to die! Your life is coming to an end."

Zhang Tianlu: "You bunch of old bald monks, you dare to curse me here? Well today I'll see if Buddha kills me first or if I kill you all first."

These old bald monks worked for him on the mountain for several years.
It provided a considerable amount of corpse beans as cultivation resources.

But Zhang Tianlu has now cultivated into an Earthly Zombie and no longer needs them.

These old bald monks are babbling on and on, cursing Zhang Tianlu for not living long.

Zhang Tianlu sneered.

Oh?
Then I'll see if I die faster or you all die faster today!
