Chapter 280: One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, Rebellion in the Mortal Realm
There is actually a third path!
One force breaks ten thousand laws!
With Old Man Ying’s guidance, Bai Ze gained confidence. He slowly stood up, facing the three monsters who had arrived: “Three seniors, there is still a third path to take, right?”
The three looked at each other, all frowning. Laozi said, “There is indeed a path in legends, but it is just a legend. No one has ever walked it, and no one knows if it can be traversed.”
Bai Ze said, “One force breaks ten thousand laws!”
The three Innate Sages gasped, knowing that this was what this guy was thinking.
Nüwa said, “That’s just a legend. It is said that Pangu used his power to sever one corpse, two corpses, and three corpses.”
For Pangu, all difficulties were overcome with power.
But that is just a legend after all, who knows if it’s true.”
Yuan Shi Tianzun said, “That’s right, even if all that is true, you don’t think you’re Pangu, do you?
I admit you are a genius, you have done things that are impossible in this world, but you are ultimately incomparable to Pangu.”
Pangu could use one force to break ten thousand laws, do you think you can really do it?”
“If Pangu could do it, then I can do it. I won’t be worse than Pangu.”
Bai Ze’s tone was extremely firm. As long as there was a path in front of him, he would go forward without hesitation.
And this path was also his only path.
Otherwise, the previous two paths, one required him to abandon everyone he cared about, which he could not do.
The second path was to completely turn to the dark side, putting the entire Three Realms under his feet, turning billions of living beings into slaves. Bai Ze did not want to be such a person either.
Only this third path was the one Bai Ze could take.
As long as his power kept getting stronger, his physical body kept getting stronger, strong enough to be like Pangu, he would naturally be able to achieve one force breaking ten thousand laws.
Bai Ze pointed a finger to the sky: “I will eventually use power to break all the shackles in this world, including my third corpse.”
“You’re confused!” Laozi sighed.
“You have embarked on a path that has no chance of success, a path that no one has ever walked before,” Yuan Shi Tianzun said.
“Bai Ze, actually just now, I thought you would choose the second path, killing us, killing the masses, enslaving billions of living beings, and ultimately achieving the Great Dao.
I didn’t expect you to choose the most impossible third path.”
“Although your choice moves me, I have to say, this is the most impossible to achieve,” Nüwa said.
Bai Ze said calmly, “Apart from the previous two paths, as long as there is a third path, no matter how difficult it is, I will walk it.
Besides, this path is not without precedent. Since Pangu could walk it, it means it can be traversed.”
“Sigh…” Everyone sighed, shaking their heads, indicating that Bai Ze was too stubborn.
Laozi said, “Then you can try it, but whether you succeed or not, you will clash with many people in these Three Realms.
I can tell you, if your method of seeking power shakes my foundation, then I will not care about our past relationship.”
Yuan Shi Tianzun said, “That’s right, if you touch my foundation to increase your power, I will not show mercy either.”
Nüwa opened her small mouth, but did not speak, because she felt that Bai Ze would not destroy her foundation.
Nüwa is the mother of mankind, and she has the merit of mending the sky and saving people.
Therefore, the human race is Nüwa’s foundation.
But since Li Wanqing is the Human Emperor, it seems that Bai Ze would not oppose the human race, which made Nüwa feel a little relieved.
Laozi and Yuan Shi Tianzun left one after another.
But Nüwa took half a step later, and said to Bai Ze, “Wukong is raised by me. I know you are friends. Don’t mess with his path to sainthood.”
Bai Ze looked innocent: “Seniors have said that he and I are friends, how could I mess with his path to sainthood?”
Nüwa said, “Do you think I don’t know? You cleverly used the Reaching Heaven River to save the Queen of the Women’s Kingdom and Tang Sanzang’s child.
You had a plan to pull Wukong out of the Reaching Heaven River as well.”
◈◈◈
“…” Bai Ze was speechless, he had actually been seen through.
He was indeed preparing to go and get people, because he felt that Wukong and Tang Sanzang both had backup plans.
Bai Ze had a relationship with the Journey to the West Pilgrimage, so he couldn’t just watch them be harmed and not help, right?
Nüwa added, “You don’t have to worry, Wukong is different from Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang is a clone of Tathagata, so when he achieves sainthood, his mortal form will be washed away by the Lingyun Ferry, and his true spirit will become a saint.
So in the end, it is Tathagata who becomes a saint, and the mortal Tang Sanzang will be washed away.
So you can go and retrieve Tang Sanzang’s mortal form.
But the monkey is different. The monkey is raised by me, not a clone of any great power. Its mortal form must be washed away, otherwise you will ruin its great cause.”
Bai Ze was stunned for a long time, wondering if what Nüwa said was true.
But to be honest, Bai Ze really hadn’t thought that Nüwa was the big shot behind Wukong.
Thinking about it now, it seems that he had always overlooked it. Wukong was the five-colored spiritual stone that Nüwa used to mend the sky. How could it be such a coincidence that only one spiritual stone was left, and then a monkey popped out?
This was obviously arranged by Nüwa in advance.
It seems that Wukong has had Nüwa secretly helping him along the way.
“I understand.”
Bai Ze cupped his fist at Nüwa. He felt that Nüwa did not seem to be harming Wukong.
Nüwa had raised this pet for a long time, and it was about to mature. If Wukong became a saint, most of the credit would go to Nüwa, and then Nüwa’s luck would greatly increase.
Moreover, after Wukong knew the truth, he would definitely be grateful to Nüwa. At that time, Nüwa would have one more powerful helper.
“Then I’ll leave too.” Nüwa also bid farewell.
After the Sages left, Bai Ze said to Li Wanqing, “Let’s go, we’ll go to the mortal realm to quell the rebellion.”
“Okay!”
Li Wanqing was already extremely anxious. Now, all the cities of the Great Tang were under attack by rebellions, and even the army of the rebel dynasty had already reached the foot of Chang’an.
Bai Ze and the others appeared together on the city wall of Chang’an.
Below Chang’an City, flags were densely packed. In front of the army formation stood a man in military attire, who was none other than Huang Chao, the leader of the rebels.
With Bai Ze and the others’ realm, they could see at a glance that he was the Ziwei Star Lord.
Looking at the ten generals beside the rebel dynasty, they were all actually celestial star lords.
No wonder he was killing gods and Buddhas all the way. It was the Heavenly Court that wanted to destroy the luck of the Great Tang.
Bai Ze said, “It’s thanks to Nüwa and Laozi that they jointly set up a barrier for the mortal realm. Otherwise, even if we arrived, I’m afraid it would be of no avail.”
It turned out that it was Nüwa and Laozi who had sealed off the mortal realm.
Both of their sources of luck came from the human race, so they did not want a large number of immortals and gods to descend to the mortal realm and cause chaos.
As for these backup plans that the Heavenly Court had arranged in advance, they had no way to deal with them.
Over there, Huang Chao held a spear and swiped it towards the ground, cutting a line in the earth.
Huang Chao said coldly, “Hurry up and open the city gate, and pass that bird position to me!”
Li Wanqing scolded, “Bold Huang Chao, how dare you rebel? Are you looking to die?”
Huang Chao sneered, “Oh, is this our Female Emperor? Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful. I’m just waiting for you to open the city gate so I can take you into my harem. Hahahaha.”
Huang Chao laughed loudly, and the soldiers under him also laughed.
Bai Ze said coldly, “Huang Chao, I originally wanted to leave you with a whole corpse, but I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant that you even dared to tease my woman. I can only let you die where you deserve!”
Bai Ze stretched out a hand, and a huge palm appeared in the sky, descending from above.
