Zhang Yifan also saw the enormous Eye of Heavenly Punishment, as well as the ten-thousand-zhang bolt of lightning.
"This heavenly punishment is really pulling out all the stops."
Zhang Yifan stroked his chin. "Looks like it wants to teach Sect Master Tongtian a lesson he'll never forget, so he'll behave himself in the future."
Poor Little Tongtong.
Yang Jian shook his head and sighed. Then he noticed Kirin Ancestor Big Black Dog nearby.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and a wicked grin spread across his face.
Even Kirin Ancestor found that grin chilling. He transmitted to Yang Jian, "What are you plotting, boy?"
"What am I plotting? Naturally, I'm avenging Little Tongtong."
"Without the master, do you think you can beat Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"
"Taking on Hongjun would be premature, of course. But that old bastard Zhunti should be manageable, right?"
Yang Jian sneered. "That old bastard Zhunti actually humiliated Brother Tong. Not only are we going to deal with him, we're going to tear down his Spiritual Mountain!"
"You're only in the early Quasi-Saint stage."
Kirin Ancestor Big Black Dog rolled his eyes.
"But you're a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
Yang Jian wore a wicked grin as he scooped Kirin Ancestor Big Black Dog into his arms. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
For fuck's sake!
Kirin Ancestor Big Black Dog glared furiously at Yang Jian. But with Zhang Yifan beside them, he didn't dare go too far. "You little brat, if you want to do it, then do it. Why are you holding me? Let me make this clear first: this ancestor only likes women! I have no interest in men. No matter how handsome you are, if you dare hold me again, I'll bite you to death."
"Enough, enough. You make it sound like I'm into men."
Yang Jian tossed Big Black Dog aside. "We'll have to call the Dragon Ancestor too. And those Nine Golden Crows."
"That goes without saying. Zhunti and Jieyin are both Saints. There's no way you can send me alone. The Dragon Ancestor is also a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, just like me. Two against two is perfect."
The Dragon Ancestor was a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal too?
Yang Jian sucked in a sharp breath. He had never expected that this tiny courtyard would contain so many Saint-level existences!
Big Black Dog ran to the pond and barked at it several times.
The Dragon Ancestor surfaced from the pond, nodded with his fish head, and indicated his agreement.
The Nine Golden Crows also chirped several times, expressing their agreement.
"Yang Jian, just to be safe, borrow a hoe from the master. Then watch me dig that old bastard Zhunti to death with one swing."
"Sure thing!"
Yang Jian was brimming with excitement as he scampered over to borrow a hoe from Zhang Yifan. "Grandpa, I want to go outside and dig up some wild vegetables. I'll add a dish for you tonight. Can you lend me a hoe?"
"Oh? You know how to gather wild vegetables now? Go ahead and take the hoe." Zhang Yifan laughed heartily. What a filial grandson.
With Zhang Yifan's permission,
Yang Jian lifted the hoe with ease. It was no longer like the last time, when he couldn't even pick up the kitchen knife.
The Dragon Ancestor transformed into a streak of golden light and hid on Kirin Ancestor Big Black Dog. Big Black Dog ran ahead, Yang Jian followed behind, and the Nine Golden Crows flew out of the house as well.
"Just wander around near the courtyard and gather some wild vegetables. We'll be back soon."
Kirin Ancestor reminded Yang Jian before concealing the secrets of heaven and transforming into a streak of flowing light that shot straight toward Western Teachings' Spiritual Mountain.
Western Teachings, Spiritual Mountain.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun had arrived in person, and heavenly punishment descended.
All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats were deeply shaken.
"The Journey to the West has restarted! What wonderful news! Congratulations to the Saint, congratulations to the Buddha." The Bodhisattvas and Arhats were overjoyed, and they all offered their congratulations to Tathagata Buddha.
Tathagata Buddha also nodded with a smile.
But in the next moment, his smile froze, and he suddenly flew into a rage. "How dare you, insolent wretch!"
The hair on the bodies of the Bodhisattvas and Arhats stood on end as they stared in horror at a gigantic hoe, as enormous as a mountain, descending from the sky and digging down as if it were uprooting weeds!
Tathagata Buddha struck like lightning, unleashing vast power to meet the hoe.
With that single swing, Tathagata Buddha vomited blood and was sent flying a million miles, every meridian in his body shattered!
He couldn't block it in the slightest!
The hoe dug down, and the peaks of the entire Spiritual Mountain were ripped away like bamboo shoots being unearthed!
Goddammit!
Tathagata Buddha's eyelids twitched violently as he spat blood. If he hadn't dodged quickly just now, he felt he would have died beneath that hoe!
It was terrifying!
Tathagata Buddha had escaped disaster, but the Arhats and Bodhisattvas were not so lucky.
The many Arhats and Bodhisattvas struck by the hoe died on the spot, their souls scattered and annihilated.
"Fuck! I'll dig all you bald donkeys to death! How dare you bully my master's eldest grandson!"
Kirin Ancestor swung the hoe and dug viciously. One swing toppled one mountain peak, severing the spiritual roots and Earth Veins of Spiritual Mountain inch by inch. Tens of thousands of Arhats and Bodhisattvas were also dug to death, one swing after another.
Rumble!
The Earth Veins and Spirit Veins broke apart. A gigantic pillar of light shot into the heavens, drawing the attention of countless great figures throughout the primordial world.
Sage Zhunti, Sage Jieyin, Grand Pure Sage, Saintess Nuwa, and Primordial Lord of Heaven all turned their gazes toward the western lands.
The Jade Emperor and the other celestial gods also looked toward Spiritual Mountain in the west.
Everyone wore strange, curious expressions as they speculated.
"Bastard! Tongtian! You destroyed my Spiritual Mountain! I'll never coexist with you!"
Sage Zhunti was so furious that he vomited blood. While cursing Sect Master Tongtian, he raised the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and rushed toward Spiritual Mountain.
Sage Jieyin also wasted no time, transforming into a meteor that plunged toward the west.
"Hahahaha! Spiritual Mountain's destruction is the will of Heavenly Dao's destiny. What does that have to do with me, Tongtian?" Sect Master Tongtian threw his head back and laughed.
Hearing Sect Master Tongtian's mockery,
Sage Zhunti spat out another mouthful of blood. He had never expected to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
At the Heavenly Court,
Nuwa furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "Who would dare launch a sneak attack on Spiritual Mountain? And with such ruthless methods—they actually severed all the western Spirit Veins and Earth Veins, slaughtering tens of thousands of members of Western Teachings!"
"Someone has concealed the secrets of heaven. Why don't we go take a look? Then we'll naturally understand." Grand Pure Sage shook his head.
Even Grand Pure Sage, who was the most skilled at deducing the secrets of heaven, couldn't calculate anything at this moment. The heavenly secrets were shrouded in mist.
The Jade Emperor and the others were also very puzzled. Who exactly was behind this attack?
The great figures of the primordial world were equally confused.
They naturally didn't believe Sect Master Tongtian was responsible.
Sect Master Tongtian had just endured heavenly punishment and suffered severe losses. How could he have destroyed Spiritual Mountain right under everyone's noses?
"Let's go."
Grand Pure Sage, Saintess Nuwa, and Primordial Lord of Heaven vanished from the spot in an instant, chasing after the two Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti.
The Jade Emperor and the other gods did not join the commotion. Instead, he ordered people to rebuild the damaged palaces and buildings of the Heavenly Court.
It's time to go see Father.
The Jade Emperor pondered silently.
The west, Spiritual Mountain.
All the peaks of Spiritual Mountain had collapsed.
The entire Spiritual Mountain looked as if it had been plowed by an ox. It was shattered and broken, with not a single intact area remaining.
Holy shit!
Fuck!
"Ahhhhh! Which shameless bastard was it? Get out here!"
Sage Zhunti spat out blood and cursed furiously, but he couldn't find the person who had launched the sneak attack.
Sage Jieyin's heart was bleeding as well. He was hopping mad, murderous intent surging as he wanted to kill someone.
Such ruthless methods had completely uprooted the headquarters of Western Teachings!
This was simply too humiliating!
Too humiliating!
"It was your Grandpa Black! Eat this!"
Suddenly, a loud roar rang out. A hoe rose into the sky like the sun and moon, blocking out the heavens as it dug toward the head of old bastard Zhunti!
The aura of death rushed toward him!
Sage Zhunti glared furiously. His scalp went numb, and his eyelids twitched violently!
"Eat this, you old bastard!"
A thunderous roar echoed throughout western Spiritual Mountain.
Kirin Ancestor Big Black Dog swung the Great Dao Artifact hoe, blocking out the heavens as it dug toward the head of old bastard Zhunti, as if it intended to dig a hole straight into his skull!
