Chapter 235 - 222: The Enlightened One and the True Person Gather in the Hall_3
Following them were Shiqi Buddha, Ratnasambhava Buddha, the Immovable Buddha of the East, the Jewel-Birth Buddha of the South, Vajrapani Bodhisattva, Vajra Fist Bodhisattva, Akashagarbha Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Endless Intent, Medicine King Bodhisattva, Supreme Medicine Bodhisattva, Eighteen Arhats, Nineteen Galan, the Twenty Heavens, the Five Directions Kaide, and so on.
This time, the sheer number of gifts received filled the Louguan Sect’s coffers to the brim. After all, the invitations were issued by Laojun, and there were many people who didn’t even receive an invitation! The guests who came to attend the ceremony, of course, could not come empty-handed, as that would invite ridicule and be too shameful. For cultivators, reputation is of utmost importance. It is said that people fight for a breath of air, while Buddhas compete over an incense stick. If cultivators, who have eternal life, spoil their reputation, how could they continue to mix with others?
"The North Pole True Martial Demon Conquering Emperor has arrived!" The roar of the divine dragon was heard, and then the Turtle and Snake Generals were seen protecting either side as the Great Emperor Zhenwu, standing on the divine dragon, landed on the Welcoming Immortals’ Platform.
"Greetings to the Great Emperor Zhenwu!"
The Great Emperor Zhenwu held an extremely high position within the Daoist sect, and none of the True Men of Dao and Virtue present failed to bow and pay respects. Moreover, the Great Emperor Zhenwu’s power was unparalleled, having subdued the demons of the Uttara Kuru Kingdom, and his mana was also incredibly high. He had competed in a trial of powers with All Buddhas on Mount Meru, showcasing his formidable strength!
After presenting his gift, the Great Emperor Zhenwu descended from the Welcoming Immortals’ Platform and exchanged greetings with the True Men of the Daoist sect and the Enlightened Ones of the Buddhist sect.
Daoists refer to their enlightened as True Men, while Buddhists call them Enlightened Ones.
"The Great Emperor Chen of the Western Ultimate Hook Chen Palace has arrived!" A phoenix’s cry resounded, and then the Hooked Chen Great Emperor wearing a Golden Crow robe and standing on a fire cloud descended.
The Hooked Chen Great Emperor had command over all martial strife and killing amongst humanity and led all demons of the world. The oaths taken by members of the demon race all fell within the domain of Hooked Chen Palace. Moreover, he commanded all thunder, and should anyone dare break their oath, they would be immediately struck by lightning! His power was quite terrifying indeed! Even the Heavenly Venerable of the Thunder Department, Wen Zhong, had to obey his orders.
