Primordial World: Big shots are all my friends-Chapter 949 - 867: Kui Gang Pleads Guilty

Guanyin Bodhisattva solemnly said, "What I’m really wondering now is, how exactly did he defeat Wutian Demon King?"

Buddha of Tranquil Light and Joy immediately replied, "Didn’t he say he used Buddhist Law to enlighten Wutian?"

"Do you believe it?"

Many Buddha Bodhisattvas contemplated for a moment, then shook their heads one after another. If Buddhist Law could enlighten Wutian, why would the Buddha rush to flee?

Guanyin Bodhisattva worriedly said, "I’m afraid that Maitreya Buddha has already reached a cooperation with Wutian Demon King, and the Buddha’s reincarnation not only faces the threat of the Demon Clan but also Maitreya’s pursuit."

Mahasthamaprapta exclaimed incredulously, "Impossible! How could Maitreya betray Buddhism and align with the Demon Clan?"

"Since Maitreya Buddha ascended to the position of Buddha, why would he easily let the Buddha return?" Guanyin Bodhisattva retorted.

Mahasthamaprapta pondered for a moment, considering what one would do if given such an opportunity. Undoubtedly, he would chase Tathagata to the death!

The surrounding Quasi-Saint Great Powers all wore grave expressions. Maitreya seized this opportunity and acted so decisively. Buddha, you shouldn’t have reincarnated.

As they expected, Maitreya occupied the Great Leiyin Temple, becoming the Buddha. The first order he gave was to have his trusted disciple, Huang Mei, lead the Buddha Soldiers to the Lower Realm to chase and kill the Buddha’s reincarnation, taking the relic to seize it from Sun Wukong.

...

In the Heavenly Court, Shi Ji and Kui Gang walked on the newly paved Jade Crystal Stone road.

Kui Gang looked at the Jade Crystal Stone beneath his feet. Though it seemed beautiful and grand, it was really expensive!

Kui Gang coughed and asked, "Shi Ji, how is the road construction going?"

"Reporting to Dharma Ancestor, the road is largely paved, with some side roads under construction, soon to be completed."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! What do you plan to construct next?"

"After the roads are completed, I plan to construct a garden, renovate all the gardens and ponds in the Heavenly Court."

"Oh~ do you already have plans?"

"I plan to purchase Spiritual Plants and Immortal Herbs from the Three Realms Mall to decorate Your Majesty’s Heavenly Palace."

"Spiritual Plants?" Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor felt a sense of foreboding, then asked, "Innate Spiritual Plants?"

Shi Ji nodded seriously, "Yes!"

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor chuckled awkwardly, saying, "Shi Ji, how precious are Innate Spiritual Plants? They are probably hard to obtain, right?"

"Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry. I’ve already investigated. The Three Realms Mall has a Jiutian Flower Shop with one hundred eighty types of Innate Spirit Roots and tens of thousands of exquisite flowers and grasses.

There’s also a Nine Netherworld Flower Shop, full of Innate Spirit Roots, enough to meet our Heavenly Court’s construction needs."

Emperor Haotian communicated with Shi Ji, consenting to purchasing from Ping Xin Niangniang’s Nine Netherworld Flower Shop; with large quantities, one can negotiate better prices.

Later, Bai Jin received Shi Ji’s report and immediately advised that purchases to be diversified: part of the flowers should come from Nine Netherworld Flower Shop, and part from Jiutian Flower Shop; though a small matter, it’s vital to balance interests to avoid dissatisfaction from Nuwa Niangniang, as attention to detail is crucial.

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor stopped in his tracks, shocked, "All Innate Spirit Roots?" His eyes flashed and he sneered before asking, "Who owns these two flower shops?"

I am the Heavenly Emperor, Master of Three Realms, and everything in the Three Realms, including these two flower shops, belongs to me.

"Jiutian Flower Shop belongs to Nuwa Niangniang, who possesses a Spiritual Treasure that can transform acquired into innate.

Nine Netherworld Flower Shop belongs to Ping Xin Niangniang, who, after embodying the Underworld, since the Ancient Times, still collected some Innate Spirit Roots."

"So it’s them," Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor chuckled twice awkwardly, too formidable to provoke.

He then tactfully asked, "How is the price? Is it a bit too pricey? I think some Immortal Grass and Divine Flowers should suffice."

Shi Ji earnestly replied, "Your Majesty, riches are just external possessions. For Your Majesty’s coronation hall, to intimidate the Ten Thousand Races of the Three Realms and unify the Three Realms, I believe any cost is worth it.

Your Majesty, don’t you want to surpass Emperor Haotian?"

"Did Haotian’s old Heavenly Court use all Innate Spirit Roots?"

"Not really, but then the Heavenly Court had Flat Peach Trees; we don’t have them, so we win by quantity."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor pondered briefly, recognizing the reason, then gritted his teeth, "Buy it!"

Shi Ji’s lips curved slightly into a smile, then quickly restored his calm demeanor, "Your Majesty, how could glorious flowers be without pure water? The Emperor possesses Star Purifying Water derived from Three Light Divine Water, ideal for pond water.

In former times, Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly River Navy had Tianhe Purifying Water, suitable for stream water.

I can gather these for Your Majesty since these Spiritual Waters are much less expensive than Innate Spirit Roots."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief, "We’ve already bought the Spirit Roots, might as well buy these too."

"Your Majesty is truly magnanimous!"

A black aura gathered ahead, forming into a Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon immediately kneeled respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor smiled, "Shi Ji, I entrust the Heavenly Court construction to you."

Shi Ji bent slightly in a bow and respectfully said, "Yes, I take my leave." He rose and headed towards the Bird’s Nest, disappearing after a few flashes.

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor’s smile vanished, and he coldly said, "Rise and speak!"

"Yes!" The Heavenly Demon stood up, respectfully standing aside.

"What is it?"

The Heavenly Demon respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, spies from the True Demon Clan have reported that Wutian has withdrawn from Spiritual Mountain, handing it over to Maitreya Buddha."

"Oh~" Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor frowned, asking, "Why give it to Maitreya?"

"It’s said to be a command from the Demon Sect Leader; Maitreya Buddha, with the leader’s help, has become the master of Spiritual Mountain and revived Buddhism."

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor paused, sneering, "Buddha Ancestor Wutian, the dignified strongest Quasi-Saint, Demon Realm Demon King, dares not violate Bai Jin’s orders; it’s a true disgrace to demons.

You may leave!"

"Yes~" The Heavenly Demon’s form scattered, turning into demonic qi and dispersing.

Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor thought briefly, his eyes suddenly brightening, considering this as another opportunity to strike against Bai Jin. Once the Demon Ancestor finds out, it will spark suspicion against Bai Jin, gradually creating a rift—that’s my chance to rise.

"Haha~" Kui Gang Dharma Ancestor laughed twice, muttering, "Bai Jin, oh Bai Jin, you are sealing your own fate.

Thinking you’ve become the Demon Realm Young Ancestor, leading the invasion of the Three Realms, conceiving yourself as all-powerful, openly helping the Three Realms.

Understand, the Demon Realm ultimately respects the Demon Ancestor, who can elevate you with one hand and cast you into the dust with the other."

Kui Gang joyously laughed; afterward, he immediately took out his Three Realms Mall, finding the Demon Ancestor’s contact, contemplating briefly, then sent a message:

Great Demon Ancestor above, your servant comes to plead for punishment.

Since the invasion of the Three Realms, your servant has risen early and toiled tirelessly, never daring to be slightly negligent.

One side must construct the Heavenly Court, declaring our Demon Realm’s authority and resolve to rule the Three Realms.

Another side must strike the Heavenly Gods, forcing them into ignominious retreat, unable to mount resistance.

But while exhaustively occupied, out of trust in Wutian Demon Ancestor, your servant relaxed vigilance over Spiritual Mountain.

Just received news, Wutian Buddha Ancestor obeyed Young Ancestor’s order, withdrew from Spiritual Mountain, and former Buddhist Maitreya Buddha revived Buddhism on Spiritual Mountain, resulting in the Demon Clan losing half of its kingdom to this mistake, that’s your servant’s first sin.

Your servant discovered this, anxiety overwhelmed, investigated thoroughly, finally learning Maitreya Buddha also acted under Young Ancestor’s guidance to rescue Buddha Bodhisattvas and occupy the Spiritual Mountain Holy Land.

Your servant believes the cause of this was during your earlier visit to propose a strategy; Young Ancestor opposed, but you, great Demon Ancestor, refuted him. Young Ancestor assumed he lost face, hence his actions expressing displeasure to Demon Ancestor.

Your servant’s proposal resulted in a rift developing between you and Young Ancestor, that’s your servant’s second sin.

Given these two sins, the revival of Buddhism on Spiritual Mountain, it’s your servant’s dereliction, and asks the great Demon Ancestor for punishment.
