Chapter 315 Returning with Resentment! A Fate Connects to the West!
Donghuang Taiyi, seeing the fleeing Kunpeng, quickly looked at Dijun and said:
"Brother."
"There's no use keeping this Kunpeng, so maybe I should..."
Before Donghuang Taiyi could finish speaking, Dijun interrupted him:
"never mind."
"Without his merits, he can't stir up any trouble."
"Let him be."
Donghuang Taiyi was slightly taken aback. Before he could answer, Dijun waved his hand, and the ball of merit power obtained from Kunpeng immediately flew down in front of Donghuang Taiyi.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi was taken aback and asked, puzzled:
"Elder brother, what...what do you mean by this?"
Di Jun smiled slightly and said:
"Second brother."
"You can use this power of merit for your breakthrough."
Upon hearing Di Jun's words, Donghuang Taiyi was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Di Jun actually gave himself the power of merit that he had stolen from Kunpeng.
Seeing Donghuang Taiyi's expression, Dijun smiled and said:
"Take it!"
"As the Heavenly Emperor, I am blessed by the Heavenly Court's fortune, and my path is different from yours."
"Second brother, you will be in charge of the Eastern Emperor Bell, fighting and protecting the Dao. You need an unparalleled foundation."
"This merit will be just what you need to help you break through!"
Although these merits were considerable for Di Jun, they had little effect on him.
After all, he did not possess the Primordial Purple Qi that forms the foundation for sainthood.
No matter how much merit one accumulates, it is impossible to break through to the level of a saint.
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi took a deep breath and nodded heavily, saying:
"good!"
"Then thank you very much, elder brother."
Without any hesitation, Donghuang Taiyi directly collected the ball of merit power.
"With the power of this merit, I should be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm soon."
Donghuang Taiyi muttered to himself, filled with anticipation at the thought that he too could become a Quasi-Saint.
……
On the other side, after leaving the demon race's celestial realm, Kunpeng sped all the way back to his dojo in the North Sea.
"hateful!"
"Dijun! Taiyi!"
"You two buffalo crows, how dare you insult me like this!"
"You stole the foundation of my Great Dao, this is an irreconcilable enmity!!!"
Kunpeng was furious.
The thought of what Di Jun and Tai Yi had done made it hard for him to contain his anger.
"They invited me to join the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court back then."
"You said you'd help me seize that Primordial Purple Qi from Hongyun."
"But later, when I attacked Hongyun, he betrayed me from behind."
"Now, the merit I gained from creating the demonic script has been stolen by you brothers."
"This is truly... utterly shameless!"
Kunpeng roared, his hatred for Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi reaching its peak!
Unfortunately, he was completely helpless about this.
In the previous battle, he used all his methods and even had the support of his Quasi-Saint cultivation, yet he still couldn't defeat Donghuang Taiyi.
The more Kunpeng thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.
Just then, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space not far away.
"Um?"
Sensing the anomaly, Kunpeng frowned and quickly looked toward the source of the spatial disturbance.
Upon closer inspection, a beam of light appeared from within the ripples.
The visitor had a sorrowful face, a thin figure, wore a simple robe, and held a string of glass prayer beads in his hand.
It exudes a peaceful aura.
Who else could it be but Kasyapa, a disciple of the Western Buddhist saint Cundi?
"Kasyapa?"
Upon seeing Kasyapa appear, Kunpeng frowned and asked in a deep voice:
What brings you here?
Kunpeng looked wary as he said this.
Kasyapa smiled faintly, bowed respectfully to Kunpeng, and then replied:
"Senior Kunpeng suffered a calamity, his body and mind were both damaged, and he was plagued by pain."
"Our master, the Sage Zhunti, sensed that you have an affinity with the West and specially sent his disciple to respectfully invite you to the Western Realm for a gathering."
"In the West, there is the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, which can nourish the source of life, and the Wonderful Lotus Flower, which can calm the mind and stabilize the spirit."
"There is even a supreme and wondrous method of great liberation and great tranquility, which may help our predecessors overcome all suffering."
Upon hearing what Kasyapa said, Kunpeng's expression became even more solemn.
"Will the sage invite you?"
In an instant, Kunpeng's mind raced.
He wasn't stupid. He had just fallen out with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan when Kasyapa of the Western Sect arrived. His intentions were obvious; he clearly wanted to invite him to join the Western Sect.
"Now I have completely broken ties with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race."
"Given the ruthlessness of the Di Jun brothers, they might turn against me later."
"At this time, it would be a good time to go to the West."
After thinking about it for a while, Kunpeng came to his senses, the seriousness on his face lessened considerably, and he said:
"Since a sage has invited me, I should go!"
Upon hearing Kunpeng's reply, Kasyapa smiled slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and replied:
"Senior, please!"
Kunpeng nodded and, without lingering, headed towards the Western Realm with Kasyapa.
Soon, the demon race's celestial realm.
Di Jun then discovered that Kunpeng was heading towards the Western Realm.
"Um?"
"Why is this Kunpeng heading west?"
After a moment's hesitation, Di Jun's face darkened, and he coldly snorted:
"snort!"
"Does he intend to betray my demon race?"
At this thought, Di Jun's anger flared up instantly, and he muttered viciously:
"You cunning Kunpeng!"
"If you truly dare to betray the demon race, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing to the side, coldly said:
"Brother."
"If I had known this would happen, I should have killed this bastard completely earlier."
Di Jun glanced at him but didn't reply.
……
Soon, Kunpeng, guided by Kasyapa, arrived in the Western Realm.
Many powerful beings from the primordial era were astonished upon sensing it.
"Oh?"
"Kunpeng actually went to the Western Realm?"
"What's going on?"
"What is he doing in the Western Realm?"
"Could it be that she's thinking of joining Western Christianity?"
"That's very likely!"
"After the previous battle in the Heavenly Realm, Kunpeng and the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court have completely broken off relations, so naturally he will no longer remain in the Demon Clan!"
"interesting!"
"It looks like there's going to be some good drama coming up!"
"..."
Many powerful figures were discussing it.
At the same time, Kasyapa led Kunpeng to Mount Sumeru of the Western Sect, where he met Jieyin and Zhunti.
"I have met two sages!"
Kunpeng bowed slightly to the two of them.
He wouldn't be so respectful if it weren't for the fact that Jieyin and Zhunti are saints.
Moreover, Kunpeng already harbored resentment towards Jieyin and Zhunti.
It should be noted that when the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was preaching in Zixiao Palace, he distributed prayer mats.
Originally, Kunpeng had occupied a spot on the prayer mat, but it was eventually taken by the late-arriving Jieyin and Zhunti.
Later, Kunpeng learned that the futon represented a holy position.
Upon seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances, both able to see the strange light flashing quickly in each other's eyes.
Then, Zhunti said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, there's no need for such formalities."
"My fellow Daoist and I are deeply saddened by your calamity today."
