Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun still seemed quite proud, Taiqing Laozi nodded and then sent a sarcastic message to Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Yeah, yeah~"

"Whose disciple can be as outstanding as yours?"

"Not only did he become a traitor to the Xuanmen... but now he is openly insulting all the saints, the primordial deities, and even the Father God Pangu in the primordial world!"

"Truly a fine disciple taught by you, the Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

"You, Yuanshi Tianzun, truly deserve to be called the greatest educator in the primordial world!"

"This humble Taoist is far inferior to you."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was completely bewildered, because he had genuinely not been paying attention to what was happening in the primordial world.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun has instructed his disciples to cultivate peacefully and steadily. For example, Guangchengzi and others have always stayed in Kunlun Mountain and have not concerned themselves with the affairs of the prehistoric world.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun only knew that the primordial world was currently experiencing the Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West, but he did not know the specifics of what was happening...

So when Yuanshi Tianzun heard Laozi's words, his eyes widened instantly.

"Wait a minute... big brother... what are you talking about? I don't understand a single word!"

"What do you mean by insulting a saint, insulting a primordial deity, and insulting the great god Pangu?!"

"What on earth is going on...?"

With a half-smile on his face, Taiqing Laozi transmitted his voice to Yuanshi Tianzun once more.

"My foolish little brother..."

"Cihang was your disciple, wasn't he? Although he's a traitor to the Xuanmen sect, he was indeed your disciple once."

"This guy was incredibly arrogant back in the primordial era, saying Tongtian was a spinning top. If Tongtian is a spinning top, then what are the two of us?"

"The three of us are spinning tops, so what is the teacher?"

"And what are these primordial deities?"

"And what exactly is Pangu, the Father God?"

"So we're all spinning tops, huh?"

Upon hearing these words, Yuanshi Tianzun's face immediately turned purplish-blue.

That bastard Cihang!!!

Being a traitor to the Chan Sect wasn't enough; how dare you spout such nonsense in the primordial world?!

That's absolutely outrageous!!!

At this moment, the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace was extremely strange. Tongtian Jiaozhu was there, his five hearts turned towards the sky, indifferent to worldly affairs.

Taiqing Laozi wore a half-smile, while Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned pale and then purple with anger.

The two Western Sages knew what was happening in the primordial world, so they secretly kept an eye on Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, always feeling that the two seemed to be plotting something unspeakable...

So no one noticed that a faint smile appeared on the lips of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was sitting in the head seat in Zixiao Palace.

Clearly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also aware of this matter.

then………

In the primordial wilderness.

Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to explain herself further.

However, in the very next moment, the entire sky underwent a dramatic change!

The once clear and bright sky suddenly turned as dark as ink.

Thick, dark clouds surged and rolled down, while purple-gold lightning lurked and roamed deep within the clouds.

Crackling lightning tore through the darkness, and a rumbling sound reverberated and spread from the depths of the heavens...

For a moment, the air currents of heaven and earth stagnated, the wind was completely still, the grass and trees drooped and trembled, the earth trembled faintly, and an invisible, immense pressure descended from the sky.

This terrifying pressure caused the vital energy of all things to stagnate.

For a moment, all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky were dumbfounded!

Not a buddy?!

Wait a minute...

What is this?!

A heavenly tribulation?!

A lightning tribulation?!

No way...

Is Cihang really going to be struck by lightning?!

Isn't this a bit too hasty...?

Although what Li Xuancang just said seemed to make some sense, it was actually very far-fetched.

Besides, the total number of living beings in the entire primordial world is far more than trillions!

These creatures have a history of making outrageous statements.

I've never seen any living being struck by lightning for something like this.

Why is Cihang taking it so seriously today?!

Is this the way of Heaven?

That can't be right...

The rise of the West was ordained by Heaven; it was a matter determined by the Way of Heaven. Therefore, the Way of Heaven should not target Cihang at this time.

If it weren't for the will of Heaven, the tribulation lightning would already be gathering at this very moment!

So there can only be one person who makes a move...

Daozu Hongjun! ! !

This powerful being, who is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, possesses the authority of the Heavenly Dao. Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not Hongjun.

In an instant, the gazes of countless powerful figures all converged on the lightning tribulation in the sky above...

Just moments ago, Li Xuancang was accusing Guanyin Bodhisattva of being tainted, but he looked up in utter astonishment at the terrifying lightning brewing in the sky.

"Holy crap... Is that monk Cihang really going to get struck by lightning?!"

"Looks like I really need to be more careful with my words from now on..."

Li Xuancang did not expect that it was Dao Ancestor Hongjun who made the move, but the powerful figures from all sides knew the truth.

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West immediately stood up.

"The master has made a move?!"

"Why...why did the master intervene?"

"Could it really be because of what Cihang just said?"

"Isn't this a bit outrageous... Or is it because of Junior Nephew Xuancang?"

As the Jade Emperor spoke, he looked at the Queen Mother of the West.

"Yaochi... do you think the Master is involved in any of the changes in this world?"

The Tushita Palace is located above the thirty-third heaven.

Laozi was also taken aback.

I never expected that a lightning tribulation would actually occur!

Meanwhile, in the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace...

Just moments ago, Taiqing Laozi was looking at Yuanshi Tianzun with a half-smile, but now he looked at Daozu Hongjun with disbelief.

Yuanshi Tianzun was puzzled, but he followed his elder brother Taiqing Laozi's gaze to his teacher, Daozu Hongjun.

The same applies to the two Western Saints.

Because the three corpses of the two Western Saints had been paying close attention to the events in the primordial world, they were fully aware of the matter of the lightning tribulation gathering.

Therefore, the two of them immediately looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think...

Why did the Dao Ancestor intervene?!

The conflict between Taoism and Buddhism has only just begun...

Is the Dao Ancestor about to step in and take sides?!

impossible……

The Dao Ancestor has already merged with the Heavenly Dao; the Dao Ancestor is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not the Dao Ancestor.

The Great Tribulation of Journey to the West brought great prosperity to the West. This was a matter ordained by the Heavenly Dao, and even the Dao Ancestor, who possessed the authority of the Heavenly Dao, could not change it.

Something is wrong!

Something is absolutely wrong!

Then they thought of the two Western Saints here, and immediately exchanged a glance and stood up.

The two men's faces immediately turned extremely bitter, as if they had eaten eight hundred pounds of bitter herbs, and they hurriedly came to the Dao Ancestor's side.

"Bitter, bitter, bitter! The West is bitter!"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult! The West is difficult!"

"Teacher, life in the West is so hard!"

"Teacher, life in the West is so difficult!"

"........."

The two Western Saints seemed to be mourning, but the Dao Ancestor remained seated at the head of the table, like an eternal, unyielding block of ice.

There was no reaction, no emotion, no warmth; he just sat there, cold and lifeless...

Upon seeing the behavior of the two Western Saints, a hint of disdain flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes.

The Tongtian Sect Leader yawned and sat up with a jolt.

"What are you two bald monks barking about?!"

"Dare to bark again, and I'll make you both fly through the air!!!"
