Chapter 574: Chapter 573: Shangqing Saint, Urgent Search for Yang Jian!

Countless forces of thunder and lightning, like a divine dance, descended upon the Daoist Court.

Fortunately, with the Chaos Tai Chi Diagram absorbing all falling objects, otherwise, even a sliver of the severed thunder tribulation would be enough to annihilate countless living beings.

But even so.

The countless living beings of the Daoist Court could not relax.

Because the thunder tribulation beyond the Celestial Domain did not relent, even more terrifying giant thunders were descending, along with a torrent of stars.

Moreover, in more than half of the Eastern Immortal Realm, every place belonging to the Daoist Court was experiencing great earthquakes.

The Dragon Vein was trembling, along with the Celestial Measuring Ruler beginning to shake.

In the Dragon Vein, waiting to successfully ascend and stabilize the fortune, the Celestial Demon Emperor’s voice came from the depths of the earth.

"Daoist, the Dragon Vein is about to rupture!"

The Celestial Demon Emperor’s tone was urgent, stirring the strong ones in the Immortal Palace.

"There is a special force tearing the Dragon Vein apart, Taixu Celestial Venerable, quickly send someone to assist me!"

It was the Phoenix Ancestor, who had always been by the Celestial Demon Emperor’s side, fearing that any mishap might befall its child.

"Sun Wukong!"

Lin Heng, unable to free himself, shouted towards the Immortal Palace.

"Understood!"

Sun Wukong’s expression was grave, transforming into a stream of light and shooting into the Dragon Vein.

"You both go help too!"

Lin Heng shouted at the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and Long Yang, and without needing more words, the two already followed Sun Wukong, descending into the Dragon Vein.

Four Quasi-Saints, beneath the Daoist Court, stabilized the Dragon Vein.

Lin Heng, on the other hand, faced the terrifying celestial tribulation alone.

And this change also drew more and more Quasi-Saints’ startled gazes.

"What’s going on?"

"Aren’t they ascending the Celestial Court over there? Why is the tribulation suddenly upon them?"

Many Quasi-Saints were stunned, all shocked by the sudden change in the Eastern Domain.

"Could it be due to the Heavenly Dao Tribulation?"

Someone speculated, their eyes filled with uncertainty.

"The aura of tribulation there is too terrifying, it feels even more oppressing than the Saint Tribulation!"

"Perhaps, it really is the work of the Heavenly Dao!"

The Quasi-Saints whispered amongst themselves, surprised by the tribulation the Daoist Court was facing, yet secretly delighted.

No one would wish for the rise of the Daoist Court.

Because the power shown by the Lord of the Daoist Court, titled Taixu Celestial Venerable, was truly terrifying, suppressing an entire era, making it difficult for all Quasi-Saints to raise their heads!

The collapse of the Daoist Court.

Was a good thing for the world’s strong ones!

Something to celebrate!

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, at the North Sea, accompanied by a hum, the heavens and earth began to shake.

Countless gazes converged again.

Seeing Venerable Emperor Chong’en having already reached the Celestial Dao Gate, all Quasi-Saints’ expressions turned solemn.

"It’s coming."

"The Saint Tribulation on this side is also about to arrive!"

...

Whether it was the Eastern Domain, or the North Sea.

The news from both places was constantly being analyzed by strong ones from all sides.

Without anyone purposely veiling the heavenly secrets, the world’s Quasi-Saints could easily observe the situation here.

Therefore, at this moment, forces from all sides couldn’t help but be abuzz.

"The Saint Tribulation was expected, but why is the Eastern Daoist Court also facing a tribulation?"

"In the past, when establishing the Celestial Court, such situations never occurred, right?"

"Could it be that the prolonged peace of the Daoist Court under the tribulation provoked the Heavenly Dao to personally settle scores?"

The sudden change left all forces attentive to news from the Daoist Court flabbergasted.

The Western Heaven Buddha Country’s Buddhas, however, all opened their eyes, exchanged glances, and revealed joyful smiles.

"It seems, the Daoist Court’s ascension will come to naught!"

"That Lord of the Daoist Court, vainly attempting to use the fortune of the Celestial Court to counter our Buddha Tathagata, is regrettably a fool’s dream."

"Hmph, this tribulation was unexpected, but fitting, already cursed by the Heavenly Dao, not being dismantled was fortunate enough, yet they dared to dream of further advancement, let’s see how they manage this now!"

The Buddhas smiled broadly, hearts filled with boundless ease.

...

At the same moment in Great Qin.

Ying Zheng was also taken aback.

"I thought the ascension of the Celestial Court was a given, I never expected a celestial tribulation to descend..."

The Old Dragon King also felt secretly shocked.

"The tribulation there is extraordinary, probably not inferior to the Saint Tribulation, could it really be the will of heaven?"

Both were lost in thought.

The potential collapse of the Daoist Court wasn’t their primary concern, what truly made them wary was this tribulation!

If this tribulation is indeed the will of heaven.

Then in the future, could it also descend upon them?

"Is there really a higher power in control?"

"Is that why the world’s Saints face so many constraints?"

Ying Zheng murmured to himself, unable to resist looking up to the sky, his gaze complex.

...

Elsewhere.

In a world entirely cut off from heavenly secrets.

The void before Yang Jian was like a curtain, clearly depicting the scene faced by the Eastern Domain at this moment.

"Master, things are looking pretty grim." Heaven-Barking Dog frowned, his tone extremely grave.

"It is ’Heaven’s Will’ causing it, interfering with Daoism." Yang Jian’s gaze was profound, unreadable in his thoughts.

"With the Heavenly Dao descending a tribulation, your Daoism cannot rise!" the Six-Eared Macaque, deprived of freedom, laughed loudly, his laughter filled with mockery.

Yang Jian remained expressionless, with a wave of his sleeve, directly slapped the Six-Eared Macaque unconscious.

At this moment, the ancient Red-bottomed Macaque appeared, speaking in a deep voice: "The Heaven-Reaching Saint is searching for your aura, very urgently, presumably to entrust a matter."

"So, will you meet this Master Uncle-Grandfather of yours?"

Yang Jian’s gaze slightly changed, seeming somewhat hesitant.

Heaven-Barking Dog wanted to say something but stopped, eventually remaining silent.

After a long silence, Yang Jian finally took a deep breath and said: "Let him come."

"Alright." The Red-bottomed Macaque nodded, somehow employing a method that caused this world to exhibit an imperceptible trace.

Beyond that trace, a great river roared.

Within the river, a figure was running about, and the moment the gap appeared, that figure instantly sensed, turning to face this world.

If Lin Heng were here.

He would surely recognize at a glance, that the figure in the river was the Ancestral Master Shangqing, Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader who crossed the river of time to rescue him outside the Buddha Country that day!

"Heaven-Barking Dog, pays respects to the Shangqing Saint!" Across the gap, Heaven-Barking Dog in this world bowed in reverence to the figure in the great river.

"I pay respects to Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader." The Red-bottomed Macaque also bowed to that mighty presence.

Only Yang Jian remained expressionless, his face stern.

However, the Shangqing Saint was not angered by his lack of respectful conduct, instead smiled, saying: "Little one, still upset?"

Yang Jian, expressionless, replied: "I’m merely a good-for-nothing third-generation disciple, how dare I harbor any anger towards you, Master Uncle-Grandfather?"

The Shangqing Saint sighed slightly: "I understand, because we gifted the Hongmeng Purple Qi to him, you feel indignant, but..."

Yang Jian interrupted coldly: "I never cared about the Hongmeng Purple Qi, even without it, I can surpass you all and champion the Dao lineage of the world!"
