Chapter 581 Stopping at the Estuary of the Guan River! Three-Headed Dragon!
Others might not know this, but Niu Ben did.
Yang Jian was born at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Yang Jian was a key figure in the Investiture of the Gods.
He was the Jade Emperor's nephew, born to the fairy Yao Ji and a mortal. He was born with supernatural powers and later became one of the most outstanding disciples of the third generation of the Chan Sect.
It shone brightly during the Investiture of the Gods.
"With the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods imminent, judging by the time, it seems that Yang Jian should be born soon."
Niu Ben murmured, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Why don't we wait here at the mouth of the Guanjiang River and see how this serendipitous encounter unfolds?"
Upon thinking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on Niu Ben's lips.
Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared, Niu Ben had already arrived at a green mountain near the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
The mountain is not high, but it is covered with lush trees. Below the mountain flows the rolling river, and in the distance, you can see a few houses with wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys, creating a peaceful and serene scene.
Niu Ben found a blue stone and sat cross-legged.
After taking his seat, he didn't linger. With a thought, his vast divine sense instantly spread out, covering an area of a thousand miles around Guanjiang Estuary.
He can sense even the slightest movement.
"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is so great that pulling one hair can affect the whole body."
"Yang Jian will be of great use in the future."
"If we can establish a good relationship in advance, it may be of great benefit to our future plans."
Niu Ben muttered to himself, then slowly closed his eyes, quietly awaiting Yang Jian's birth.
……
At the same time, after leaving the demon realm, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, also returned to the West.
"Senior brother, why are you thinking of trying to win over the demon race to form an alliance?"
"Actually... the Witch Clan is also a good choice!"
"Not only does it have the saintly Dijiang Ancestral Witch, but the other Ancestral Witches are also quite powerful."
Zhunti asked aloud.
Upon hearing this, the Sage who guided the way smiled slightly and replied:
"The Witch Clan is indeed a very good choice."
"But do you think they will form an alliance with our Western religion?"
Upon hearing Jieyin's reply, Zhunti paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:
"That's true."
"Given the nature of those people from the Witch Clan, even if we, fellow disciples, were to personally visit them, I'm afraid they wouldn't agree to form an alliance."
At this point, Zhunti suddenly seemed to remember something, and then said with a solemn expression:
"Senior brother, do you think Niu Ben might be looking for an alliance to deal with the Investiture of the Gods calamity?"
Upon hearing Zhunti's greeting, Jieyin smiled bitterly and said:
Do you think he needs it?
"He is the senior disciple of the three religions, and the Three Pure Ones will help him no matter what they say."
"Furthermore, his father, Niu Ba, was himself a saint of the Niu clan!"
"Including Niu Ben himself, that makes a total of five saints!"
At this point, Jieyin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti frowned and said in a deep voice:
"yes!"
"He doesn't need to form alliances at all."
Without further ado, the two headed straight for Mount Sumeru.
Just as they were about to reach Mount Sumeru, the sage Zhunti suddenly stopped on the clouds.
"Um?"
Seeing that Zhunti had suddenly stopped, Jieyin's expression changed slightly, and he asked with a puzzled look:
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
The Sage Zhunti did not rush to answer Jieyin, but instead closed his eyes and deduced for a moment.
When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint was already in his eyes.
"Senior brother!"
Zhunti looked excitedly at Jieyin, his face beaming with pride, and said, "Just now, the heavens revealed that a Buddha's son will be born in our Western Sect!"
"What?"
"A Buddhist disciple?"
Upon hearing what Zhunti said, Jieyin was surprised and hurriedly asked:
"Where are you?"
The Sage Zhunti glanced slightly, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Heavenly Realm, and replied:
"According to the heavenly secrets, that Buddha's disciple is in the Heavenly Court!"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin's expression suddenly darkened.
"this?"
"How come it's in Heaven?"
"The Heavenly Court is the domain of the Supreme Heaven; what does it have to do with my Western Regions?"
Seeing the doubt on Jieyin's face, Zhunti smiled slightly and said:
"I just carefully analyzed it."
"By the Jade Pool in Heaven, there lived a fairy named Yao Ji, the younger sister of the Jade Emperor Haotian."
"In the Heavenly Court, they are in charge of governing the six heavens of the Desire Realm."
"In Yao Ji's destiny, there is a child who is destined to be with the West. If he can be converted into the Western religion, he will be a Buddhist disciple of the West."
After Zhunti explained it to him, Jieyin finally understood.
At the same time, it is known that since the secret of heaven was revealed to Zhunti, this matter must be a manifestation of the secret of heaven within Zhunti.
After a moment's thought, Jieyin came to his senses and looked at Zhunti with a serious expression:
"Junior brother."
"Since the secrets of Heaven have been revealed to you, then you shall arrange this matter."
Zhunti nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Don't worry, senior brother!"
"I'll do this myself."
……
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court is located.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace, beneath the main pillar guarding the hall, a dragon coils.
This dragon has three heads.
It was originally a dragon that had attained enlightenment, but was punished to guard this place for violating heavenly rules.
His three dragon heads watched over three directions day and night without rest.
The dragon head in the middle is the most upright, the one on the left is clever, while the one on the right is greedy by nature.
Over the years, the three-headed dragon had long since grown accustomed to this tedious task.
Watching the celestial maidens come and go and the divine generals patrol every day, the wildness that had been suppressed in my heart gradually awakened.
On this day, the right head of the three-headed dragon looked towards a jade platform inside the hall.
On the jade platform, there was a bead.
The bead was about the size of a fist, and its surface was smooth and lustrous. Inside, it seemed as if a golden flame was constantly flowing.
This bead is none other than the Dragon Pearl that guards the Lingxiao Palace.
"If I swallow it..."
"Wouldn't that allow me to cross the Dragon Gate and transform into a true dragon?"
After a brief look, the right head of the three-headed dragon's eyes gleamed, and greed surged forth like a tidal wave.
Sensing that the right-hand head coveted the palace-guarding dragon pearl, the middle head of the three-headed dragon immediately shouted sternly:
"No!"
"That dragon pearl is the most precious treasure in the temple."
"To do so is a capital offense!"
Before the right-hand head of the three-headed dragon could reply, the left-hand head slightly narrowed its eyes, a shrewd glint in them, and continued speaking:
That's incorrect!
"If we can really find a way to obtain this palace-guarding dragon pearl and successfully escape the Heavenly Realm, there might be a vast world waiting for us in the future!"
Upon hearing this from the left, the person on the right nodded and said:
"That's right."
"If we could obtain this Dragon Pearl that guards the palace, there would be hope of transforming into a true dragon."
"We've been suppressed under this dragon pillar for so long, when will it ever end?"
After hearing what the left and right leaders said, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the dragon leader in the middle.
Next, whenever no one was around, the right head of the three-headed dragon would gaze at the palace-guarding dragon pearl on the jade platform.
The more he stared at it, the more his greed grew from the aura emanating from the Dragon Pearl that guarded the temple.
In particular, the immense spiritual power contained in the Dragon Pearl that guards the palace is something that the right head of the three-headed dragon finds hard to resist.
