Turmoil at the Birthday Banquet: A Zombie Tide (Part Two)

The powerful figures from various Sect, Civil and Military Officials, envoys from other countries, and highly respected figures from the Great Qin Empire all stepped forward to offer their birthday wishes and present their gifts. The emperor, with a broad smile on his face, extended his palm, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

The emperor rose from his Imperial Throne. Seeing that the emperor had something to say, the room fell silent. No one spoke, and all eyes were on the emperor of the Great Qin Empire.

"Today is my birthday, and I am deeply gratified that you all have taken time out of your busy schedules to come..." As the birthday celebrant and the protagonist of today's Birthday Banquet, the emperor spoke in a clear and resonant voice, his Square Face full of fortitude, his voice strong and clear, echoing in every corner of the room.

"Great Qin Emperor, today is your birthday, and you have invited all the famous and powerful figures in the world, but you have not invited me. Do you look down on this Bodhisattva?" However, before the Great Qin Emperor could finish speaking, a magnificent voice suddenly rang out from the horizon.

The voice was grand and ethereal, seemingly emanating from the Heaven and Earth; for a moment, it was impossible to discern its origin.

The "Voice of the Heavenly Dao" was incomprehensible to ordinary Cultivator. However, the Sect Master Sect Master of several Large Sect, as well as several powerful top Cultivator, had a slight change in expression, and some couldn't help but exclaim in low voices.

The Voice of the Heavenly Dao is a person's understanding of the Heavenly Laws. When one reaches a very high level, one can use the Heavenly Laws to express one's own voice. Such a voice is like the judgment of Heavenly Dao, making people feel a sense of submission from the bottom of their hearts.

The Void Returning Stage has six minor realms, but even a peerless expert at the Great Accomplishment stage might not be able to achieve this.

"Who are you? Please show yourself. Your cultivation is admirable. But not everyone is qualified to be called a Bodhisattva," said the Kunlun Sect Master, True Person Changfeng, with his white hair and beard and an air of otherworldly elegance. As the voice rang out, he stepped forward and spoke. His voice carried far and wide.

"You dare to blaspheme the Bodhisattva! You deserve punishment!" However, as soon as True Person Changfeng finished speaking, a pale white light appeared from the horizon and shot fiercely toward True Person Changfa. The aura contained within it seemed to turn the Heaven and Earth into a ghostly realm, and gusts of cold wind blew up, making people feel instinctively disgusted.

True Person Changfeng, after all, was Cultivator at the Great Accomplishment and the dignified Sect Master of the Kunlun Sect. Seeing the pale white light shooting towards him, he struck out with his palm. A Tai Chi Bagua pattern appeared on his palm, which was the famous Eight Trigrams Palm of the Kunlun Sect.

After blocking the pale white beam of light with an Eight Trigrams Palm strike, True Person Changfeng's eyes flashed with coldness as he said, "Such a dense Corpse Qi must belong to a powerful Corpse King. How dare it call itself Bodhisattva? Truly shameless!"

Buzz...

At that very moment, the Corpse Qi, like that of a ghostly underworld, vanished without a trace. Mysterious Zen Sound echoed in the sky, lotus blossoms drifted down, and a strange, Human Heart fragrance filled the air. A sacred and pure Buddhist Power suddenly appeared...

If the previous Corpse Qi made this Heaven and Earth resemble a ghostly underworld, now, with the emergence of pure and sacred Buddhist Power, this Heaven and Earth seems to have transformed into a Buddhist holy land, with Zen Sound emanating from the sky and Golden Lotuses Springing from the Ground...

A figure appeared in the light. It was a man with long, jet-black hair, bare-chested, and bronze skin that gave him an explosive aura. He wore an ancient-style kasaya around his waist, and a pair of golden Bone Wings grew from his back. Behind the man's head, there was a halo of Buddhist light that shone brightly, making people afraid to look directly at him.

"A halo around the back of the head?" The abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple's expression changed slightly upon seeing the halo around the back of the man's head.

The halo around his head was a halo of Buddha-like light, a phenomenon that transcended the Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens or Bodhisattva. Could this suddenly appearing monk truly be a Bodhisattva?

"May I ask what this Bodhisattva's Dharma name is?" The abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and asked.

Although the abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple is also at the Great Accomplishment Stage Realm, and is only one step away from ascension, this final step is worlds apart.

Regardless, he was still just an ordinary mortal, while the other party had truly attained the status of Bodhisattva and devoted his life to it. Today, the real Bodhisattva was right before his eyes, and even the abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple felt a deep sense of faith.

"You may call me the Golden Body Bodhisattva," the man, seated on a Purple-Gold Lotus Throne, with a pair of golden Bone Wings on his back and a dazzling Buddhist light behind his head, spoke calmly. His voice truly seemed to penetrate to the depths of one's heart, Human Heart it impossible for any evil thoughts to arise.

"It is a great honor to have the Bodhisattva personally attend my birthday Birthday Banquet today," the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire said hastily upon seeing a living Bodhisattva appear.

Why could Bodhisattva appear in this mortal world? Leaving that aside for now, this person, even if not a true Bodhisattva, should at least be stronger than anyone else present.

"Golden Winged Corpse King!!!" Although everyone present was startled by the appearance of this Golden Body Bodhisattva, Zhuge Xiang Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly. He would never forget the Golden Body Bodhisattva that appeared; it was the Golden Winged Corpse King he had encountered in the Lost Myriad Buddha Temple.

The purpose of Myriad Buddha Temple is to gather the faith and Vow Power of all living beings to help them attain Buddhahood. Although the monks of Myriad Buddha Temple are Buddhist Sect, they do not respect Buddha and Bodhisattva. In their eyes, there are no gods and Buddhas, Bodhisattva, or Bodhisattvas in the first place. It is only when there are many believers that the Power of Faith is gathered, thus giving birth to gods, Bodhisattva gods and Buddhas.

Back then, the Golden Winged Corpse King's cultivation was only a hair's breadth Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens, and Bodhisattva. Now, after so many years, when they meet again, the Golden Winged Corpse King's power seems to have become even stronger. It's as if he has already taken the final step and achieved the status of gods and Buddhas.

However, why could he, as a gods and Buddhas, linger in the Mortal World? Zhuge Xiang was also completely baffled.

"The Great Qin Empire, how majestic it is..." Seated on Purple-Gold Lotus Throne, radiating the most powerful and masculine Buddhist Power, as if the entire Heaven and Earth had been transformed into the Buddhist Sect holy land, the Golden Body Bodhisattva calmly gazed at the emperor of the Great Qin Empire and spoke, his voice seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

"You flatter me, Bodhisattva. If you don't mind, may I sit down and rest for a while?" The Great Qin Emperor was being stared at by this "Bodhisattva," unsure of his intentions. However, given the Bodhisattva's status and power, he dared not easily offend him. Therefore, he could only offer polite words and invite the Bodhisattva to sit down. After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face, does one?

"Hmph..." However, at this moment, the Golden Body Bodhisattva's face suddenly turned cold. He snorted coldly, and his extremely powerful Buddhist Power instantly transformed into a surging killing intent, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down on the Great Qin Emperor: "You dog emperor, today, I will take your dog's life!"

Divine grace is as vast as the sea, Divine Might as deep as a prison. It is said that when the Son of Heaven is angry, rivers of blood flow; but what about when the Deity are angry?

As a fierce killing intent surged from the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the Heaven and Earth was enveloped in a chilling aura. The killing intent was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, and even cultivators at Bodhisattva Void Returning Stage cultivators found it difficult to withstand. This Golden Body Bodhisattva was indeed extraordinary in strength.

"Whether you're a real Bodhisattva or something! You want to kill me!? You're too arrogant!" Seeing the other party's sudden appearance, he knew that the visitor was not friendly, but he did not expect that even though he, as the emperor, had been more polite than ever before, the other party would actually tear off the mask of politeness. The Great Qin Emperor's face also darkened.

"Protect His Your Majesty!" the Sect Master of the Kunlun Sect shouted as the Great Qin Emperor finished speaking.

Led by the Kunlun Sect, and with the high-end combat power already possessed by the Great Qin Imperial Family, dozens of top-tier experts at the Void Returning Stage sprang into action, forming Third Layer protection around the Great Qin Emperor.

"No matter how many there are, they are nothing but a rabble," the Golden Body Bodhisattva said with a contemptuous laugh as he watched dozens of top-tier experts at the Void Returning Stage guarding the Great Qin Emperor. As he finished speaking, a pale white gate appeared directly behind him, its surface carved with countless lifelike images of Zombie and Hungry Ghost.

"The Gate of the Hungry Ghost Path Realm!?" Upon seeing the ghastly white gate appear behind the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the abbot of Heavenly Dragon Temple's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "To be able to summon the Gate to the Hungry Ghost Path Realm, you are indeed not Bodhisattva! Speak! Demon, who are you!?"

The Hungry Ghost Path is one of the Three Realms and Six Paths, filled with monsters that are never satisfied, such as Evil Ghost and Zombie. Naturally, this Golden Body Bodhisattva, who can summon the gates of the Hungry Ghost Path Realm, cannot be a true Buddhist Sect Bodhisattva.

"A demon? Haha, what outdated words!" Upon hearing the Heavenly Dragon Temple Abbot address him as a demon, the Golden Body Bodhisattva laughed loudly, "I have fulfilled the wishes of all living beings and have already attained the status of Bodhisattva. I am a true Bodhisattva. How dare you, a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, call me a demon?"

As the gate to the Hungry Ghost Path Realm opened, countless Zombie and Evil Ghost emerged from it, an endless stream. Even the Hungry Ghost King and the Zombie King, numbering in the dozens, all consciously came to stand behind the Golden Body Bodhisattva.

"Kill them all..." the Golden Body Bodhisattva said with a wave of his hand, his tone carrying an air of commanding authority.

Although his words claimed to be the execution of everyone, his gaze was actually fixed on the Great Qin Emperor. Clearly, the Golden Body Bodhisattva's true target was none other than the Great Qin Emperor. (To be continued...)
