Chapter 580: Chapter 579: The Tribulation Is Broken, the Dao Rises, and the Phoenix Soars!

"Hey old monkey, are we really not going after it?"

The Nine Nether Ao strode away under everyone’s gaze.

The Heaven-Barking Dog was a bit annoyed and couldn’t help but mutter softly.

The Red-bottomed Macaque replied quietly, "I’m truly not good at fighting. Driving it away is enough; if we press further, the situation becomes unpredictable. Don’t forget, many Quasi-Saints are watching here now."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Barking Dog also understood that this was not the time to show off. It glanced upward and then downward, realizing it could not see the tracks of the two figures as it was not a Quasi-Saint.

It could only lament, "It’s a pity, now that the Nine-headed Monster has escaped, it will definitely go into hiding completely."

If a Quasi-Saint is determined to hide, it’s very difficult for those of the same realm to find them.

Unless a Saint personally peers into the secrets of heaven.

Of course, there are a very few who, once they hide, even Saints have difficulty finding.

Like.

The Red-bottomed Macaque.

"Rest assured, this time, it can’t hide," the Red-bottomed Macaque patted the Heaven-Barking Dog’s shoulder, with a meaningful smile in its laughter.

The Heaven-Barking Dog was stunned, suddenly thinking of that head, about to ask a question, when he saw the Red-bottomed Macaque make a gesture to keep silent. It smiled and said, "It’s enough if you know, no need to say it out loud."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven-Barking Dog chuckled and said, "Impressive."

...

Another three days passed.

Rumble.

Accompanied by two nearly simultaneous loud booms coming from between heaven and earth.

The heavenly might that had shrouded the Daoist Court for a month.

Finally dissipated.

Countless creatures felt as if a mountain above their heads had been removed, and many who had been prostrate finally had the courage to stand up.

Everyone exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

Then, in the midst of everyone’s attention.

Two figures, one from above and one from below, appeared in succession in the firmament.

"It’s resolved, fantastic!"

In the Immortal Palace, all the immortals clenched their fists, beaming with joy.

Shen Gongbao resolutely activated the central Grand Array, issuing a proclamation to the Daoist Court’s territories, which had been oppressed for many days.

"The Celestial Tribulation has been broken, the Daoist Court prospers."

"Everyone, from now on, you will be subjects of the Celestial Court!"

Upon these words.

More than half of the Eastern Domain erupted.

Countless beings wept with joy; fear and doubt vanished, replaced by the joy and excitement of finding hope where there seemed to be none.

"The Daoist Lord truly did it, going against the tide and proving to be truly invincible."

"Even the heavens cannot suppress the Dao."

"The Daoist Court is destined to flourish, the Daoist Court is destined to flourish!!"

All the Immortal Soldiers and Immortal Generals called out, driven by intense emotions.

The demeanor of that Daoist Lord made them unable to resist the urge to pay homage.

"Then there’s True Monarch Erlang; we thought he had vanished into the annals of history, or perhaps left Daoism altogether."

"But he didn’t; he still remains in the world, still concerned with the rise and fall of Daoism!"

"With him and the Daoist Lord joining forces, Daoism is bound to be revived!"

Yang Jian’s grace was equally unparalleled, causing countless to admire him.

With beings having newfound confidence in the Daoist Court’s future.

The Celestial Dragon of Fortune, which had been on the verge of dissolution, became solid once more, even more imposing than it was initially.

It roared upward, its dragon cry resounding through the universe, as if proclaiming its might to heaven and earth.

"Will you come with me?" Lin Heng stood atop the dragon’s head, extending an invitation to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian, however, calmly shook his head and uttered, "Heaven does not have two suns."

Lin Heng, hearing this, said no more and, leading the Celestial Dragon of Fortune, soared towards the Thirty-Three Heavens, beginning the comprehensive expansion of fortune.

The ascension to the Celestial Court was set in stone.

Yang Jian showed no regret, saying to the Red-bottomed Macaque and the Heaven-Barking Dog, "Let’s go."

With this, one man, one monkey, and one dog were about to leave.

Yet at that moment, Nezha came forth, riding the Wind and Fire Wheels.

"Won’t you stay a bit longer?"

Nezha said, looking at Yang Jian with a rare smile.

Yang Jian gazed at this old comrade, his indifferent face briefly showing complex emotions.

"No, I’m not staying longer."

Yang Jian said, his tone calm.

Just then, Sun Wukong’s voice rang out.

"Why, Erlang God, are these old friends not worth a word from you?"

Sun Wukong had also arrived in the firmament.

The crisis under the Dragon Vein had passed, and there was no need for him to stand guard any longer.

Yang Jian hesitated to speak, ultimately just lightly shaking his head and saying, "Having met is enough."

After speaking, he hesitated no longer, turning away directly.

The Red-bottomed Macaque used its Black and White Double Caves in the void, and one man, one monkey, and one dog disappeared into it. After the ripples flickered, there were no traces or aura left, as if they had never appeared.

Tianpeng strolled to Sun Wukong’s side, sighing, "Always so proud and aloof, listening to nobody’s orders... after all these years, still as carefree as ever..."

The Ox Demon King also appeared in the sky, looking towards the direction Yang Jian had disappeared, saying, "Just what level has this True Monarch Erlang reached? Monkey, what are your chances against him now?"

Back in the days, the battle between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian was indeed sensational.

Great Saint against Little Saint, which was superior? To this day, descendants still debate.

However, the current Sun Wukong has come to a conclusion.

"He is already the same kind of existence as the Daoist Lord. Back then, I could still fight him to a standstill, but now I’m far behind."

Sun Wukong admitted frankly, with no reluctance to concede.

After the Journey to the West Calamity, they all had their own fates, with many of them diverging greatly.

Sun Wukong was relatively fortunate, though replaced by the Six-Eared Macaque, barely surviving over thirty thousand years with just a sliver of spiritual sense, but ultimately, he obtained his original form as a naturally born Holy Spirit in the South Sea and joined the ranks of Quasi-Saints.

The Ox Demon King and Nezha, those are the ones who truly missed an entire era.

After all, in those days, were they not also peerless talents?

Even if slightly inferior to Yang Jian, they were supposed to be at the same level of rivals.

Yet times have changed, and everything is different now.

But they were not despondent.

These once high-spirited figures were confident they would quickly catch up in the future, despite setbacks from various reasons.

"Roar!"

A soul-stirring dragon roar broke the crowd’s reverie.

Everyone turned towards the depths of the Celestial Domain.

There it was, all golden.

Every Celestial Realm was enveloped in an overwhelming fortune.

But the fortune was too exuberant, like a boiling pot of oil, restless and seemingly poised to ride the wave and roam the seas.

This was a sign that the Celestial Dragon of Fortune had developed its own consciousness.

Celestial Court-level Celestial Dragons of Fortune, all were like this!

And at this time, it required the Guardian Beast to suppress the fortune, to stabilize the spiritual sense, to make it submit to the Celestial Court!

"Chirp!!"

The Phoenix soared, its calls ringing clear.

With a resonant cry piercing through the clouds, a Phoenix that blotted out the sun soared from the Dragon Vein.

It was the Celestial Demon Emperor!

For the first time, he displayed the nobility and radiance of a pure-blooded Phoenix.

The overwhelming flames contrasted with his vibrant feathers, rushing to the sky.

Meanwhile.

More than half of the Eastern Domain, all the array patterns of the continents lit up.

Countless beams of light rose alongside the Phoenix, piercing the Dou Mansion, illuminating the world.
