Chapter 777 - 771: The Plan Succeeds
In the Void.
Buddha, Wa Huang, and the Demon Lord suddenly looked up, gazing towards the edge of the Void in Heaven and Earth.
Buddha was the first to speak: "There are energy fluctuations on the edge of the Void, someone has passed through Heaven and Earth and entered the Void!"
"It’s likely the Peacock Great Ming King, let’s go take a look!" the Demon Lord said excitedly.
After waiting for more than six months, the Demon Lord couldn’t hold back any longer.
Not to mention the Demon Lord, even the initially composed Buddha was now visibly anxious.
Buddha, Wa Huang, and the Demon Lord did not hesitate at all and moved towards the place where the energy fluctuations were coming from.
Soon, they saw a multicolored peacock flying in the Void.
The peacock flew up to Wa Huang, shaking its body and transforming into the Peacock Great Ming King.
"Palace Master, I have stolen the World Honored Dao Fruit." Saying this, the Peacock Great Ming King took out two ginsengfruit-like items from his bosom and handed them to Wa Huang.
That the Peacock Great Ming King handed the World Honored Dao Fruit to her instead of Buddha and the Demon Lord left Wa Huang quite satisfied.
Wa Huang accepted the World Honored Dao Fruit handed over by the Peacock Great Ming King and examined them carefully for a moment, finding no flaws.
Wa Huang was not familiar with the World Honored, so she naturally couldn’t distinguish the World Honored’s aura.
Wa Huang only felt that apart from the abundant energy within these two World Honored Dao Fruits, there was also the unique entanglement of causality in Heaven and Earth.
"Buddha is scheming to obtain these two World Honored Dao Fruits, what exactly does he intend to do?"
"What is the specific use of these two World Honored Dao Fruits?" Wa Huang pondered in her heart but couldn’t figure it out.
In fact, not only Wa Huang didn’t know the specific use Buddha had for these two Dao Fruits.
Even the Demon Lord wasn’t aware of what this thing was specifically used for.

However, the Demon Lord knew that Buddha was cunning and crafty.
He and Buddha were in a similar situation; whatever Buddha wanted, he wanted as well.
In any case, sharing a part of Buddha’s gain was surely advantageous.
Seeing the World Honored Dao Fruits, Buddha and the Demon Lord blocked Wa Huang’s way from both sides, afraid that Wa Huang would run away with these two World Honored Dao Fruits.
"Wa Huang, these two World Honored Dao Fruits were promised to us!" the Demon Lord said in an unfriendly tone when he saw Wa Huang studying the Dao Fruits.
Wa Huang was already annoyed that she couldn’t figure out the World Honored Dao Fruits, and hearing the Demon Lord’s aggressive words only made her angrier.
"Hmph!" Wa Huang snorted coldly and said in annoyance, "Once I, Wa Huang, make a promise, it is irrevocable. I naturally will not go back on my word."
"Here you go!"
Saying so, Wa Huang tossed the two World Honored Dao Fruits to them respectively.
After receiving the World Honored Dao Fruit, Buddha examined them carefully for a moment, sensing the coexistence of Buddha’s Radiance, demonic energy, and Heaven and Earth causality within the Dao Fruit, confirming there was nothing wrong with it.
"We naturally trust Wa Huang’s character!" Buddha said with a gentle smile.
Wa Huang looked at Buddha, questioning, "The items you wanted have been given to you!"
"Buddha, can you now tell me what you intend to use the World Honored Dao Fruits for?"
Buddha looked into the Void, squinting his Buddha’s Eyes slightly and said slowly, "Since Wa Huang is so trustworthy, I would appear petty not to explain!"
"I will inform Wa Huang of its use after we return to Wa Huang’s Palace."
"At this moment, there is yet an uninvited guest amongst us!"
After Buddha finished speaking, Wa Huang and the Demon Lord immediately began to look around.
Who Buddha meant as the uninvited guest was obvious even to fools.
Undoubtedly, the uninvited guest was none other than the Yin Celestial Son.
"Yin Celestial Son, there’s no need to hide!"
"If you want to meet, come out openly!" Wa Huang shouted towards the surroundings.
In the next moment, the projection of the Yin Celestial Son appeared in front of Wa Huang, the Demon Lord, and Buddha.
"Yin Celestial Son, you are destined to lose!"
"We have already obtained the World Honored Dao Fruits; the next step is to seize the entire Heaven and Earth!" the Demon Lord said arrogantly, appearing confident in victory.
The Yin Celestial Son looked at the Peacock Great Ming King, his voice like a thunderclap, laced with endless disappointment: "Peacock Great Ming King, why did you betray Heaven and Earth? You have greatly disappointed me!"
At this moment, the Peacock Great Ming King cooperated with the Yin Celestial Son’s act.
The Peacock Great Ming King’s eyes became vacant, standing there dumbfounded, mumbling to himself in confusion: "Why did this happen, why did I do this!"
"No... why..."
At this time, on the surface, it seemed as if the Yin Celestial Son’s thunderous inquiry caused Wa Huang’s Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique to temporarily fail, and the Peacock Great Ming King had regained his true mind.
Seeing the Peacock Great Ming King’s expression, Wa Huang panicked internally.
Wa Huang thought to herself, could it be that the Yin Celestial Son broke my Celestial Heart Dao Planting Technique?
Thinking of this, Wa Huang quickly activated the Celestial Heart Dao Seed within the Peacock Great Ming King, and sensing that the Celestial Heart Dao Seed was still there, Wa Huang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Wa Huang activating the Celestial Heart Dao Seed within the Peacock Great Ming King, the Peacock Great Ming King’s eyes regained clarity, and he said with utmost determination: "I am a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace, everything I do is for Wa Huang’s Palace."
Seeing the Peacock Great Ming King’s current demeanor, the Yin Celestial Son scoffed: "Hopeless."
Buddha looked at the Yin Celestial Son, unable to suppress a sneer: "Yin Celestial Son, you only dare to appear as a projection, not in person, so you can do nothing but rage impotently."
"The fact is, the World Honored Dao Fruits are already in our hands."
The Yin Celestial Son’s projection seemed full of anger; after forcibly suppressing his fury, he said in a deep voice: "Even if you have obtained the World Honored Dao Fruits, so what?"
"While the World Honored was alive back then, you couldn’t seize Heaven and Earth; now, relying on just two World Honored Dao Fruits, do you really think you can achieve your goal?"
The words of the Yin Celestial Son left Buddha speechless.
What the Yin Celestial Son said was not incorrect.
Obtaining the World Honored Dao Fruits merely provides an opportunity for attacking Heaven and Earth.
A slight opportunity still lies a colossal distance away from success.
"Hmph!" Buddha snorted coldly and said: "Whether it succeeds or not, we’ll see in the future."
After speaking, Buddha ignored the Yin Celestial Son and said to Wa Huang and the Demon Lord: "He is merely a projection; we don’t need to waste time on him. Let’s go."
After Buddha spoke, the three of them, Buddha, Wa Huang, and the Demon Lord, turned to leave.
As they were leaving, the Demon Lord suddenly struck a blow, shattering the projection of the Yin Celestial Son.
The Demon Lord knew that shattering the Yin Celestial Son’s projection would cause him no harm.
However, the Demon Lord intended to demonstrate his power over the Yin Celestial Son.
The Underworld.
The Yin Celestial Son, Lin Yuan, and Yang Jing were gathered here.
"They have left!" the Yin Celestial Son said to the two, "I can ensure that for more than a month, they won’t discern the authenticity of the World Honored Dao Fruits."
"With time, unable to glean any results, they will likely start to suspect."
Yang Jing spoke lightly: "It won’t take more than a month, just wait a few days, and I will head to the Void to seize the opportunity to act."
"I was also once one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits; if I enter the Void, they will have no way of detecting me."
