Chapter 779 - 773: You Want to Watch Tigers Fight from the Mountain, I Want to Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
Great Burial Heaven Temple.
"Buddha, can you do it or not!"
"Is this how you're supposed to use that?" The Demon Lord looked impatient and exasperated.
At this moment, suspended in the air before the Demon Lord and Buddha were the two World Honored Dao Fruits.
During this half-month, Buddha had tried countless methods to refine the World Honored Dao Fruit into replicas.
However, no matter how he attempted, there was only one result.
Failure!
The countless failures left the Demon Lord out of patience.
Even Buddha himself began to doubt himself.
"This shouldn't be happening!"
"I've tried every possible method, why can't I succeed?"
"Something's wrong, something's off!" Buddha paced around, muttering to himself.
"Enough!"
"Stop spinning around, you're making me dizzy!" The Demon Lord grabbed the Buddha, who was spinning in place, and said suspiciously, "Tell me, is there a possibility that the World Honored Dao Fruit we have is fake?"
"Has Wa Huang fooled us?"
The Demon Lord's question stunned Buddha.
After being startled, Buddha immediately shook his head, dismissing it: "Impossible, Wa Huang has always been with us and didn't have the opportunity to switch the World Honored Dao Fruit."
"As for the Peacock Great Ming King, it's even less possible. I used Divine Sense to examine him, and he only had these two World Honored Dao Fruits on him."
"He doesn't have the capability to deceive us."
The Demon Lord pondered and continued to speculate: "Then Yin Celestial Son has tricked us!"
"He used the Peacock Great Ming King to give us these fake World Honored Dao Fruits."
Believe it or not, this suspicion by the rash Demon Lord was actually correct.
But Buddha remained skeptical.
"No!"
"Wrong, wrong!" Buddha shook his head repeatedly, declaring with certainty, "These two World Honored Dao Fruits are genuine, absolutely genuine."
"The issue of failing to refine them into replicas is not with the World Honored Dao Fruit but with us."
Hearing Buddha's words left the Demon Lord speechless.
Buddha would rather doubt his own abilities than question the authenticity of the World Honored Dao Fruit.
"So what do we do?"
"If this continues, we won't succeed in refining these two World Honored Dao Fruits into replicas by the distant future!" The Demon Lord roared in anger.
The Demon Lord had lost his patience, and indeed, Buddha was also losing patience.
The difference was that the Demon Lord openly showed his emotions, while Buddha suppressed his.
Buddha knew well that continuing like this was not a solution.
Although they had obtained the World Honored Dao Fruits, if they couldn't utilize them, it was as if they hadn't obtained them at all.
Buddha gritted his teeth and said to the Demon Lord, "It seems there's only one path left."
The Demon Lord asked in confusion, "What path?"
"Invite Wa Huang to research these two World Honored Dao Fruits together. With the strength of the three of us, we should be able to refine them into Dao Fruits." Buddha shared his idea.
Buddha firmly believed that these two World Honored Dao Fruits were genuine.
Their inability to refine the World Honored Dao Fruit into replicas was due to their own inadequacy.
Therefore, he decided to invite Wa Huang to join forces with them, believing that combining their strength would surely lead to success.
The Demon Lord glanced at Buddha and grumbled, "You schemed against her, making her angry with us, and now you want her help. Would she help?"
"In this world, there are no eternal enemies or friends, only eternal interests."
"With sufficient interests, even enemies can become friends, let alone allies."
"At worst, offer her some benefits. In the future, the Power of Faith gained from these two replicas can be split into three equal shares!" Buddha proposed his plan.
After much consideration, Buddha decided to give Wa Huang a share.
If they continued like this, unable to refine the World Honored Dao Fruit into replicas, none of them would benefit.
The plan involving the World Honored Dao Fruit was an unexpected benefit for the Demon Lord from the start.
From beginning to end, it was Buddha's planning; the Demon Lord merely needed to join Buddha in pressuring Wa Huang to gain something.
Therefore, after thinking it over, the Demon Lord agreed immediately: "Give her a share, just give her a share."
"Having one more person at the table is better than everyone going hungry."
The Demon Lord was simply impatient and wanted to refine the World Honored Dao Fruits as soon as possible.
Once the Demon Lord agreed, Buddha summoned a disciple, wrote a letter, and sent the disciple to ask Wa Huang for assistance.
Wa Huang's Palace.
The disciple Buddha sent with the request handed Buddha's handwritten letter to Wa Huang.
Looking at Buddha's handwritten letter, Wa Huang could not help but laugh to herself.
This Buddha, after scheming against her, now had to humbly ask for her assistance.
"Brother, I'll visit Buddha for a while; please look after Wa Huang's Palace in the meantime!" Wa Huang told Xi Huang before she left.
Xi Huang was stunned for a moment, then advised, "Sister, I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy lately."
"Whatever you do, be extremely careful."
Watching Wa Huang prepare to leave, Xi Huang assumed his uneasiness was due to worry over her.
Little did he know that Wa Huang was not the next one to be schemed against; it was him, Xi Huang.
Wa Huang shrugged off Xi Huang's concerns: "You're overthinking things!"
"This time, I plan to visit the Great Burial Heaven Temple to see Buddha and the Demon Lord's antics, and also lend them a helping hand."
"I intend to watch from the sidelines as the tigers clash; but this tiger must get moving."
Buddha and the Demon Lord need to create replicas in order to enter Heaven and Earth.
Only by entering Heaven and Earth can they conflict with Yin Celestial Son, allowing Wa Huang to watch the tigers clash.
Wa Huang never imagined Buddha and the Demon Lord would be so inept, stuck at the first step.
If Buddha and the Demon Lord can't create replicas, how can Wa Huang watch the tigers clash?
Wa Huang wanted to watch from afar but had no idea she was falling into Yin Celestial Son's scheme to separate the tiger from the mountain.
As soon as Wa Huang left, Xi Huang's unease grew heavier.
This was a premonition.
With Wa Huang at Wa Huang's Palace, Yin Celestial Son's plans against Xi Huang couldn't be implemented; even though Xi Huang felt uneasy, he remained relatively safe.
But now, with Wa Huang gone, Xi Huang was truly in danger.
"Seal the palace."
"From today onwards, none of the disciples are allowed to step outside Wa Huang's Palace!" Xi Huang ordered.
Uncertain of the source of this unease, Xi Huang ordered the palace sealed as a precaution.
Meanwhile.
In the Underworld.
Lin Yuan, Yin Celestial Son, and Yang Jing gathered together.
"Brother Yang, it's your turn to perform!" Lin Yuan said to Yang Jing with a smile.
Yang Jing waved his hand, tearing the space apart, and entered the Void, disappearing from Lin Yuan and Yin Celestial Son's view.
In Heaven and Earth or among Tier One powerhouses in the Void, only the intrusion of outsiders triggers a sense of alarm.
Yang Jing, being a Daoist Ancestor, was not considered an outsider to the Void.
This meant that if Lin Yuan entered the Void, Wa Huang, Buddha, and the Demon Lord would be alerted.
Yang Jing entering the Void went unnoticed by anyone.
