For a time, the Earthly Immortal Realm was in turmoil. Land Deities everywhere had gone mad. The Demon Tribe had no idea what major event had occurred, but they sensed something strange and stayed shut inside their homes, afraid to go out. The Buddhist School of Spirit Mountain was still watching from the sidelines, but they had already raised their vigilance to the utmost.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra, the two great Bodhisattvas, wore grave expressions. "World-Honored One, anything abnormal must have a cause. This is no simple matter!"
Tathagata nodded as well. Nonsense—Qin Fen's every move was filled with enormous variables. Failing to pay attention would mean suffering a huge loss.
The Heavenly Court was very quiet. Everything Qin Fen did seemed suspicious, yet no one knew what he was trying to do.
Was he targeting the Land Deities? That seemed unlikely. What status did Dongwang Gong hold, and what status did a Land Deity hold? The difference between them was too vast to mention. Besides, what use could Land Deities possibly have? Qin Fen's approach was also all wrong. If he truly wanted to make use of the Land Deities, why not simply issue an edict? Why take such a huge detour and make things unnecessarily complicated? The more they thought about it, the more certain they became that there had to be some profound meaning behind it.

No one understood what had happened today, including the Three Pure Ones. The Outer Thirty-Three Heavens were discussing it as well.
