Chapter 414: The Great Tribulation Begins, Discussions on the Great Tribulation in Zixiao Palace

After being shocked, Ao Qing and Prime Minister Turtle soon had doubts in their eyes. What was the purpose of the saint coming to the East China Sea?

Is it just to help Donghai improve the level of a few acquired spiritual treasures?

Based on Ao Qing's understanding of Zhao Gongming, things will definitely not be that simple.

After thinking about it for a while, Ao Qing said, "I dare to ask the saint what he has to do when he comes to Donghai this time. If my dragon clan can handle it, I will not refuse."

Zhao Gongming didn't waste any time and said directly, "Back then, the war between the saints shattered the ancient world. It was the Taoist ancestor who appeared and used his supreme power to stabilize the three realms. At the same time, two saints from the Western religion rebelled against Xuan and established Buddha, and established the Mahayana. In order to repay the cause and effect of the past in the West, Buddhism and Taoism promised that the West would prosper in the next few kalpas. Should the Dragon Clan know about this? "

Ao Qing nodded, "The Dragon Clan knows about this."

"It's good to know. I have calculated that within a hundred years, a new calamity will come to the three realms!"

"What?"

"So fast?"

Ao Qing, Prime Minister Turtle's face suddenly froze, his eyes widened instantly, a cold air surged up from the soles of his feet uncontrollably, and even the hairs on his body stood up.

Prime Minister Ao Qing and Turtle couldn't be more aware of the horror of calamity.

What is calamity measurement? Measuring tribulations, in the final analysis, is a great cleansing activity carried out by heaven on all living beings.

In ancient times, the demon ancestor Luohu insisted on going his own way and caused the Longhan catastrophe. On the surface, the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn suffered heavy losses, but in fact, no matter where you can't see it, it is the prehistoric tribes who suffered the most tragic casualties.

At the end of the Lich period, there was a great war between the Lich and the Ancient Heavenly Pillar, Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the water from the Nine Heavens, earth, fire, water and wind poured down, and countless lives fell.

At the time of the Great Tribulation of the Gods, not to mention, the saints unleashed their true fire and directly shattered the entire prehistoric world. Some races even completely perished in this great tribulation.

Calamity is actually the synonym for death. Anyone from a mortal to a quasi-sage major cultivator may fall into calamity and perish.

Even a high-ranking saint is in great danger if he is entangled in the calamity energy. Didn't you see the fallen Saint Zhunti in the Immortal-Execution Sword Formation?

Ao Qing and Prime Minister Gui were not surprised by the appearance of Liangjie. What really surprised them was that Liangjie came so quickly!

Long Han, Lich, and Conferred God, the time between the three great catastrophes was extremely long. Now, how many years have passed since the end of the Conferred God Tribulation, and a new calamity will break out?

Ao Qing, Prime Minister Turtle had not yet reacted, and then Zhao Gongming said again, "I have calculated that this time, someone from your dragon clan will also be robbed."

If Zhao Gongming said before that a new calamity would come within a hundred years, Ao Qing, Prime Minister Gu could barely maintain his composure, but now when he heard Zhao Gongming say that his dragon clan would also be in calamity, Ao Qing could no longer maintain his composure. Unable to hold his body, he slumped down on the chair, his face pale.

His dragon clan has managed to survive until now and has preserved some of its strength. Now that the catastrophe is happening again, is it really God who wants to destroy his dragon clan?

After waiting for a long time, Ao Qing asked fearfully, "Dare I ask the saint, if we follow the trajectory of the calamity, what will be the final outcome of our dragon clan?"

Zhao Gongming glanced at Ao Qing and said, "This catastrophe is the catastrophe of the great prosperity of the West. As a result of the Dragon Clan, it will naturally help the West."

Ao Qing turned pale, stood up suddenly, and begged, "Please ask the saint to save my dragon clan!"

Ao Qing knows very well about Mahayana Buddhism, Zhunti, and the Two Saints. If the Dragon Clan really falls into their hands, how can it end well?

Zhao Gongming nodded, "Jie Jiao's relationship with the Dragon Clan over the years is obvious to all. When the Dragon Clan is in trouble, Jie Jiao will naturally help."

Hearing this, Ao Qing, Prime Minister Gui, raised his head suddenly and felt excited. It was indeed right to have a good relationship with Jie Jiao over the years.

Zhao Gongming pointed to the Dinghai Shenzhen he had just refined and a set of robes. He nodded and said, "Within five hundred years, there will be a robbery coming to the East China Sea Dragon Palace. When the time comes, you will give this set of robes and spiritual treasures as gifts." That’s it.”

Ao Qing nodded, his expression softened a little, but he still hesitated to speak.

"What else do you want to say, just say it."

Ao Qing said, "The sage just said that in this great catastrophe, the people of my dragon clan will also suffer the catastrophe, then..."

Ao Qing obviously wanted to know from Zhao Gongming the identity of the person who was involved in the disaster of the Dragon Clan, and then prepare in advance, so that when the disaster really came, the Dragon Clan would have a better idea.

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, "I only calculated that when the calamity comes, someone from your dragon clan will be involved in the calamity. However, the secret is obscure and the calamity has not yet come. Even I don't know the specific calamity."

According to the original historical line, in the great calamity of Journey to the West, Xiao Bailong, the third prince of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, was the calamity son.

But comparing the current timeline with the original historical timeline, although it is still the same in general, the specific details are already completely different.

For example, the Dragon Clan is still a monolithic entity. It is not divided into East, West, South, North and Four Sea Dragon Kings by the Heavenly Court. Instead, it is still the leader of the East China Sea Dragon Clan, who controls hundreds of millions of aquatic creatures in the three realms.

Since the Dragon Clan has not been divided by the Heavenly Court, where did Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, come from? Since there is no Ao Run, the original historical timeline of Xiao Bailong, the Jiezi, will naturally change accordingly.

Seeing that Ao Qing was uneasy, Zhao Gongming comforted him and said, "Clan leader, don't worry too much. This catastrophe of traveling to the west is not only about the Dragon Clan, but also our Xuanmen lineage. As long as the Dragon Clan acts according to the plan, Not only is there no danger, but you can take advantage of the situation to gain a lot of luck!”

"Yes, my Dragon Clan, thank you very much for the guidance!"

Ao Qing nodded solemnly at Zhao Gongming.

After leaving the Dragon Clan, Zhao Gongming calculated that there were still several decades before Sun Wukong was born, so he went back to Mount Emei and Luofu Cave to wait.

In the Thirty-three Heavens, the Paradise, Zhunti and Jieyin, the two saints, were also waiting. With the saints' keen sixth sense, they also sensed that the great calamity that would bring prosperity to the West was not far away.

Ten years passed in a flash. On this day, the sound of the Xuanhuang Dao Bell suddenly rang in the Thirty-three Heavens, which spread across the Three Realms and fell into the ears of billions of creatures in the Three Realms.

As the Dao sound fell, every inch of the Three Realms suddenly rose with strands of calamity energy, and the calamity energy spread, causing billions of creatures in the Three Realms to be shocked.

"This is the breath of the calamity. How long has it been since the last catastrophe? There is a new calamity coming to the Three Realms?"

An ancient great power who was in retreat suddenly opened his eyes, showing great disbelief, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Some of these ancient great powers are even cultivators who have existed since the Longhan catastrophe period, and have experienced several catastrophes until now.

They are very clear about the calamity. In the final analysis, it is a great cleansing activity of heaven and earth for all living beings.

A new round of calamity will only break out when the interval between calamities is long. For example, when two rounds of calamities break out in a very short period of time, even they cannot predict the results and trends.

On the shore of the East China Sea, in the luxurious and noble Crystal Palace, Ao Qing suddenly stood up, his face changed drastically, "The saint is right, the catastrophe has come so quickly."

In the Thirty-three Heavens, the Saints' Dojo, the Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace, the Netherworld, the Senluo Palace, the saints, Haotian, and the spokesperson of the underworld, the Taoist Mosquito, all set out to rush to the Zixiao Palace.

The earth, fire, water and wind that once blocked everyone's steps can no longer block everyone's steps. Not long after, everyone has gathered in front of the gate of the Zixiao Palace.

Taiqing is the second-generation eldest brother of the Xuanmen, and everyone naturally casts their eyes on Taiqing at this time.

Taiqing nodded slightly, stepped forward, and knocked on the gate of the Zixiao Palace.

After a while, the gate opened, revealing a space of chaos and twilight. Everyone walked in without hesitation.

In the Zixiao Palace, chaos and ignorance, the Taoist ancestor sat on the cushion, quietly overlooking the saints.

"We pay our respects to our teacher (Taozu)"

The great powers, led by the Saint Taiqing, all bowed to Hongjun.

After bowing, the two saints of the West could not wait to ask, "Teacher, the calamity is rising and spreading to the three realms. Is it time for my Western world to flourish?"

Before the Taoist Patriarch responded to the two, the saints, including Haotian and Zhao Gongming, had already cast contemptuous glances at the two saints of the West.

They betrayed Xuanmen openly and established Mahayana Buddhism. What are you still calling a teacher? You really have no shame!

The two saints of the West did not care at all and stared at Hongjun on the cushion.

Hongjun nodded and said, "This catastrophe is the catastrophe of the prosperity of the West. I called you here for this catastrophe."

Everyone bowed again, "Please tell me clearly, teacher (Taoist ancestor)."

Hongjun looked more serious, "There are five catastrophes in this catastrophe. The first one is in the earthly immortal world, Dongsheng Shenzhou, on a mountain in the sea near Aolai Country. The second one is among your disciples of the human sect. The third one is in the heaven. As for the fourth one, it is in your Mahayana Buddhism. The fifth one is in the dragon clan."

Hongjun finished speaking in one breath, and everyone's face changed. If you count it this way, this is no different from the previous Conferred God Catastrophe. Almost all the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects have been involved in the catastrophe.

Zhunti and Jieyin showed joy on their faces. Good, good, all the people of the Xuanmen have been involved in the catastrophe, and they will become stepping stones for his prosperity in the West in the future.

Hongjun said again, "In this catastrophe, if you want to complete the merits, you must go through 81 trials. If you succeed in 81 trials, Buddhism will flourish. It is just around the corner."

"Ah? 81 trials?"

The faces of the two saints from the West, who were jubilant before, suddenly fell. 81 trials. Then, the prosperity of the West would be like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror.

"I have said before that this catastrophe is purely to repay the cause and effect of the battle on Mount Xumi that year, when the Eastern cultivators broke the Western ancestral veins. Therefore, the 81 trials will not be too difficult. As long as you work hard in the West, it will not be difficult to overcome."

Hongjun glanced at the two saints from the West meaningfully.

The hearts of the two saints from the West were beating. What the teacher meant was that the so-called 81 trials were just a formality?

After telling all the saints about the catastrophe of the journey to the west, Hongjun flashed and disappeared. He had given the general framework. The saints would discuss the details themselves!

In Zixiao Palace, everyone sat on the futon and began to discuss.

Go west, go west, it is going from east to west, naturally the so-called 81 disasters are mostly arranged by the East.

As for the West, it is only qualified to arrange a few disasters.

Zhunti looked sad and said first, "Brother Taiqing, my West has been very poor since ancient times. When Brother Tongtian set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation in Tongguan."

Zhunti and Jieyin brought up the Zhuxian Sword Formation set up by Tongtian. Zhunti and Jieyin were invited to take action, and the East owed the West a huge cause and effect. Zhunti brought up this matter at this time, and his purpose is self-evident.

After listening to Taiqing, he just nodded slightly, "I understand this matter."

Zhunti and Jieyin were overjoyed and looked at Yuanshi.

Yuanshi hummed slightly, which also meant that he agreed to the request of the two people in the West.

After everyone discussed in Zixiao Palace for a while, the general framework was set, and the details were almost discussed.

So everyone left Zixiao Palace one after another. Tongtian Sect Master and Zhao Gongming came to the gate of Zixiao Palace. When they were about to return to the Three Realms, they heard a familiar voice, "Daoyou, please stay."

Tongtian Sect Master and Zhao Gongming turned around and saw Zhunti looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Brother Tongtian"

Zhunti hurried forward and called affectionately.

Tongtian Sect Master waved his hand neatly, not giving Zhunti and Jieyin any face, "I am a disciple of Xuanmen, and you two are people from the Buddhist sect. We are completely unrelated. I am not your brother."

Even with Zhunti's face, he was embarrassed to be exposed by Tongtian Sect Master in front of him.

Jieyin pinched a Buddhist name and said very sincerely, "Brother Tongtian, nephew Gongming, this catastrophe is very important to my West. I hope you two..."
