Chapter 280 - 268: The Turning Wheel Sage King’s Difficult Achievement
Tales tell of Laozi, Lord of Primordial Beginning, and Wukong -- the Three Sages, in Tushita Palace, crafting magical treasures with the Eight Trigrams Cauldron, using the remnants of Heaven and Earth as materials.
After ten full years, this magical treasure emitted bursts of intense azure light, with endless talismans flashing atop it, dazzling to behold.
Laozi smiled and said, "It’s nearly complete!"
Lord of Primordial Beginning remarked, "It really isn’t easy to refine these remnants of Heaven and Earth; the power of this Great Seal is remarkable!"
Wukong channeled the last thread of National Destiny into it, and thus, the Great Seal had finally been accomplished.
With a bend of his fingers, Laozi crafted a spell, and the Eight Trigrams Cauldron swung open; then, a jade seal-sized, square Great Seal flew out from within.
Wukong raised his hand to capture the Great Seal, which was extremely heavy in his grasp, surely weighing millions of pounds. What was more terrifying was the heavy aura of National Destiny revolving around it, as if it could crush Heaven and Earth itself. The heaviness of National Destiny, that represents the will of the people, as the ancient saying goes: "National Destiny is pivotal, the destiny of the realm." Indeed, it symbolizes the will of the people!
"Wukong truly is a genius; his grasp on the will of all beings, such as the revolutionary will, the National Destiny, is almost invincible," Lord of Primordial Beginning couldn’t help but praise aloud.
"You flatter me! Although this Great Seal of National Destiny is not quite akin to the Heaven and Earth Seal of Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch, it is still not far behind!" Wukong, having successfully refined the magical treasure, could not contain his joy.
Let’s set aside Wukong’s success with the Great Seal of National Destiny; meanwhile, Victorious Fighting Buddha visited Mount Sumeru to meet Amitabha Buddha and Zhun Ti Taoist.
By rights, the two parties should be enemies, but with the situation in Heaven and Earth already settled, and no interests left to compete over, the plan for now is to simply continue cultivating quietly, to advance their cultivation level further and wait for the upcoming crisis of Ultimate Calamity. Thus, saints bear no grudges against each other.
