Chapter 111 - 109: Risking One’s Life by Usurping the Gods’ Power and Stealing Credit
The six brothers headed straight for West Cow He State, and the Macaques King, knowing astronomy and geography, actually knew where the Great Saint Country was located.
As six famed demon kings of the Four Great Continents, they of course couldn’t just rashly enter West Cow He State, lest they be spotted by the powerful monks of the Buddhist sect. Thus, they’d descended early in the Southern Toad Continent and each transformed into the appearance of a Taoist before joining together to ride the clouds into West Cow He State.
Once inside West Cow He State, the six headed straight for the Great Saint Country. Along the way, they passed quite a few temples, but seeing as they had assumed the guise of Taoists, they did not attract much attention. After all, West Cow He State also had many Daoist masters, just as the Southern Toad Continent had many experts from the Buddhist Sect.
After all, it’s not to say that the Four Great Continents belong solely to any one sect, and though it’s well known that the Buddhist Sect dominates West Cow He State, does that mean others are forbidden entry?
After entering West Cow He State, the six no longer flew at great heights but instead landed, grabbing handfuls of soil to scatter and thereafter progressing underground using Earth Escape.
However, the geology of West Cow He State was somewhat complicated, with difficult soil and many rocks beneath, making the use of Earth Escape a bit of a hassle.
Eventually, they arrived at the Great Saint Country, a small nation consisting of just a few small walled cities, with the main city located squarely in the center. It was built somewhat lavishly compared to other towns but still rather modest—a barbarian realm that couldn’t compare to the splendor of the vast Celestial Dynasty. Even so, Epang Palace, razed by fire years ago, was truly magnificent; the Jade Emperor himself could not help but marvel at the hedonism of the Qin ruler!
The Ox Demon King laughed, "This is the Great Saint Country? Can this even be called a country?"
The Macaques King replied, "The culture here is a bit backward, nothing can be done about it. Besides, the resources here are not as plentiful as in The Eastern Land."
"Then why don’t those Bodhisattvas impart advanced knowledge to them?" asked the Ox Demon King.
"This is the Human Path, not the Dao of Immortals. Laojun is the Sect Hierarch of Human Teachings. If these foreigners sought to advance the Human Path, they would incur karma. Don’t believe me? Try it and see if Heaven doesn’t strike you with lightning," the Macaques King said.
