Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 485 - 479: Return of the Peacock Great Ming King

In all things, it is important to have black and white proof, rather than mere words.

Bai Ze wanted a certificate, and that was quite reasonable.

Upon hearing these words from Bai Ze, Lady Ming King fell silent.

Bai Ze wanted a certificate, so how should this certificate be given?

This certificate definitely could not be given in Lady Ming King’s own name.

She was merely a Tier Four, surely unqualified to confer titles on Tier Two Peak Experts.

Therefore, this could only be given in the name of her father, the World Honored.

With this thought, Lady Ming King took out a blank Dharma Scroll from her bosom.

This Dharma Scroll was blank, a trump card left to her by the World Honored.

If the Tier Two Peak Buddhas within the Sect did not obey Lady Ming King’s orders, she could write a command on the World Honored’s Dharma Scroll to forcibly mobilize these Buddhas.

In layman’s terms, this Dharma Scroll of the World Honored was essentially an imperial edict.

Once an imperial edict was issued, even those high officials who only listened to commands would have to execute the orders on the Dharma Scroll.

Now, this Dharma Scroll was still blank, and Lady Ming King had never had the opportunity to use it.

Today, it was just right to use this Dharma Scroll to confer titles on Bai Ze and the others.

With this thought, Lady Ming King had no hesitation and began to write on the Dharma Scroll.

Conferring Bai Ze as the Great Wisdom Buddha.

Conferring Xiang Liu as the Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha.

Conferring Chongming Bird as the Great Auspicious Buddha.

After completing the writing, the Dharma Scroll emitted waves of Buddha’s Radiance, which shone upon Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird, enveloping them in the glow of Buddha’s Radiance.

This was equivalent to communicating with the heavens, and under the witness of the Way of Heaven, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird were conferred as Buddhas.

Once the Dharma Scroll was out, this matter was settled.

No one could change the fact that Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird had become members of the World Honored One Sect.

After Bai Ze and the others became Buddhas, it would not be so easy for the Peacock Great Ming King to act against them.

One must know that the most stringent rule within the World Honored One Sect is that internal strife is not allowed.

If the Peacock Great Ming King attacked them now, it would be against the sect’s rules.

The Medicine King Buddha witnessed the entire event and remained silent, allowing Lady Ming King to confer titles upon Bai Ze and the others.

The Medicine King Buddha knew that accepting these three was not beneficial to the sect, and instead, he was pleased to see it happen.

In fact, the Medicine King Buddha was secretly delighted.

The Medicine King Buddha knew the Peacock Great Ming King too well; he would break rather than bend. By doing so, Lady Ming King was bound to fall out with him.

As long as the Peacock Great Ming King and Lady Ming King fell out, the Medicine King Buddha saw an opportunity to replace the Peacock Great Ming King’s position.

Upon the completion of the conferment, Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird exchanged glances and felt a sense of satisfaction.

They had achieved their aim, at least ensuring their safety.

However, what Bai Ze wanted was not just these.

The reason Bai Ze and the others chose to join the World Honored One Sect was mainly because of the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool.

They wanted to use the World Honored’s Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool to repair their damaged foundation.

Bai Ze saw that Lady Ming King didn’t seem very clever, so he spoke bluntly.

"Lady Ming King, I heard that the World Honored has a treasure called the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool with the function to resurrect the dead and flesh the bones. Is it truly that effective?" Bai Ze probed.

Lady Ming King, without much thought, responded truthfully: "Of course. How can my father’s treasure be merely renowned?"

"Alas!" Bai Ze sighed heavily and said, "We have suffered in battle, and our foundation is damaged, limiting our abilities. We fear we may not be able to serve the World Honored well in the future. But if we can repair our foundation, we could contribute more to the Sect in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lady Ming King immediately responded, "When my father emerges from seclusion, I will ask him to let you three enter the Eight Treasures Rebirth Pool to repair your foundation."

...

...

Meanwhile, the Peacock Great Ming King also returned to the dojo with Kong Mengmeng.

"Mengmeng, you must not leave the dojo recklessly these days!"

"As long as Bai Ze and the others are not eliminated, they remain a threat. If they want to target me, they might very well start with you," the Peacock Great Ming King advised solemnly.

Thinking that saying only this might not be enough to get through to his rebellious daughter, he quickly added, "If you fall into their hands, it’s not a threat to me that’s concerning; if they use you to threaten that boy Lin Yuan, it could very well endanger his life."

The Peacock Great Ming King knew his daughter’s weak spot well; if he had merely ordered her around, she would likely turn a deaf ear.

But as soon as something involved Lin Yuan, she would take it very seriously.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Bai Ze and the others might harm Lin Yuan, Kong Mengmeng immediately pledged, "Dad, don’t worry. I definitely won’t wander off. I am very obedient."

"Besides, Lin Yuan has already promised me he will come to see me after he finishes his current business."

Seeing Kong Mengmeng acting so well-behaved now made the Peacock Great Ming King feel quite vexed.

He could only sigh inwardly, "Ah, how daughters become so unattainable as they grow up!"

After sending Kong Mengmeng to rest, the Peacock Great Ming King summoned the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast, asking, "Have there been any major developments in the Sect lately?"

On his way back, the Peacock Great Ming King had ordered his Mountain Guardian Divine Beast to gather intelligence.

The Peacock Great Ming King’s two Kaiming Beasts, being close with the mounts and guardians of other prominent figures within the Sect, maintained good relationships.

Through this network, the Kaiming Beasts quickly acquired the information the Peacock Great Ming King desired.

Hearing his master’s question, the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast hurriedly replied, "The Sect has recently added three Buddhas: the Great Wisdom Buddha, Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha, and Great Auspicious Buddha."

"These three newly conferred Buddhas are, in fact, your enemies: Bai Ze, Xiang Liu, and Chongming Bird."

At this point, the Kaiming Beasts voiced indignantly, "Master, what Lady Ming King did was outrageous. Even we Kaiming Beasts, who do not sow discord, could not tolerate such a thing if it were to happen in our circle."

As the Kaiming Beasts spoke, the Peacock Great Ming King shot them a glare, silencing them.

Tolerate?

The Peacock Great Ming King had no intention of tolerating this.

He hadn’t immediately exploded, only because his own injuries were severe.

One must be strong to strike, and to turn the tables, one must be prepared with leverage.

With this in mind, the Peacock Great Ming King dismissed the Kaiming Beasts and began tending to his own injuries.

Once the Peacock Great Ming King recovered, Bai Ze and the others would surely have to pay the price.
