Chapter 363: Chapter 333: Creation Refines the Cauldron, Purifying the World

Wukong intended to forcibly enlighten the Ancient Heavenly Dragon with the Great Karma Technique and the Great Compassion Technique, transforming him into a Dragon Buddha of the Buddhist Sect endowed with great might and virtue!

This Buddha indeed exists in the teachings of the Buddhist Sect. All figures within it were predetermined by the Turning Wheel Sage King, including Guanyin, Pharmacist, Maitreya, Dingguang, Tathagata, and even Amitabha. These figures came to be after Amitabha Buddha summoned the Turning Wheel Sage King. Wukong is the Future Buddha, the very Turning Wheel Sage King who established all Buddhas. It’s preordained that a Dragon Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, of great might and virtue, powerful beyond measure, with an unrivalled physical form, symbolizing auspiciousness, peace, and joy, would emerge. Though such a Buddha has never been seen since ancient times, Wukong’s act of enlightening the Ancient Heavenly Dragon now fulfills the karma set forth by the Turning Wheel Sage King, attaining a Dragon Buddha of boundless merit and enormous virtue.

To enlighten is akin to brainwashing, making one incline towards Buddhism and revere its law.

"Oh, the Great Karma Technique is truly miraculous! The karma sown in obscurity by the Turning Wheel Sage King has finally come to fruition!" Wukong thought clearly and understood everything, seeing strands of Buddha’s Light on the body of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon.

Perhaps the previous incarnation of the Turning Wheel Sage King was also a terrifying entity, capable of planting the seeds of Buddhist karma on the Ancient Heavenly Dragon, the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons, the one hundred and eight Great Dao Sages, and even the Great Dao Demon God. Otherwise, Wukong’s task of enlightenment would not be so easy—it would take tens or hundreds of thousands of years to accomplish.

The existence of the Turning Wheel Sage King looms in the unknown. Even though Wukong has undergone nine reincarnations and attained the status of the Turning Wheel Sage King, he still struggles to comprehend the true nature of this enigmatic figure. Known as the Future Buddha, he must have existed at some point; otherwise, the Buddhist Sect, Amitabha Buddha, and the now-enlightened Wukong wouldn’t exist.

"The Turning Wheel Sage King is born of the essence of Creation, nurtured by this essence. He is pivotal to the revolution of the world! I see the suffering of people, struggling in the Sea of Suffering. Those beneath the Creation Supreme are disturbed by various demons of the mind and desires. They fight, they suffer, they are pitiable, and they are loathsome. Therefore, I cast a sliver of Creation into that five-colored divine stone, thus bringing you, Sun Wukong, into being. Your existence is my arrangement to revolutionize the world, the Three Thousand Worlds, and the great Creation World!"

A voice slowly arose, exploding in Wukong’s mind like a chariot crushing the firmament, thunder roaring.

In that moment, Wukong understood and calmly said, "The Turning Wheel Sage King is revolution incarnate! Revolution is the Turning Wheel Sage King! The Sage King, compassionate, could not bear to see the people struggle in the Sea of Suffering and thus emerged from Creation to revolutionize the world, so that all could believe in compassion and in the rewards of goodness. Creation chose me to achieve the Turning Wheel Sage King and lead the revolution of the world, to cleanse the poison that permeates it!"

In that moment, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon roared repeatedly, suddenly hearing the voice of the Creation Laws and was greatly alarmed.

"So, it’s the Creation Laws!" the Ancient Heavenly Dragon realized in shock, utterly astounded, "I wondered who was it that taught me the supreme secret techniques without showing themselves! It turns out to be the Creation Laws. Only thus could one stay out of sight of gods and demons, eluding even my grasp as I approached the threshold of the Semi-Supreme. I had thought it was a master of the level of the Creation Supreme who taught me!"

The voice of the Creation Laws, devoid of any emotion, said, "Heaven, if compassionate, would also grow old. I am the essence of Creation, controlling everything, with no room for partiality. Yet, seeing the struggles of the people, unable to escape the Sea of Suffering, even those nearing Supreme find it hard to avoid the boundless calamities, struggling within. Hence, I incarnated the Turning Wheel Sage King to revolutionize the world, to ensure equality among all, free from the oppression of the powerful, uninfluenced by personal gain, ensuring fair trade and competition."

"Well done. I have witnessed everything in the Chaotic World. You have succeeded in revolutionizing the world, purifying the toxins from the entire Chaotic World."

Wukong said, "Since youth, I’ve been oppressed by the powerful and understand the suffering of the people! Yet today, to cleanse the world of its corruption calls for forceful measures and the establishment of true laws!"

The Creation Laws stated, "Well then, I will entrust you with the Creation Imprint, with which you will govern the Three Thousand Great Worlds and the Creation World! Your power will surpass that of the Creation Supreme, allowing you to lay down your laws, purify the world, and liberate the masses from the Sea of Suffering."

Wukong brought his palms together, neither joyful nor sorrowful, and said indifferently, "Not to be elated by external gains, nor to take one’s own sorrows to heart. Cleansing the world is my lifelong aspiration, naturally I am willing."

The Creation Laws continued, "Good. Once you hold the Creation Imprint, you are Creation! However, be cautious of those Creation Supremes with devious hearts, who have always longed to steal my Creation Imprint, yet for so many years they’ve been clueless. Stay vigilant."

At that time, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon understood that Wukong was one chosen by Creation and the most successful of all. The others had fallen on the road to revolution, their resolve and revolutionary will not as steadfast as Wukong’s. Among them was one with the surname Yuan and the given name Shikai, who sought to revolutionize one of the Three Thousand Worlds, the Emperor’s Great World, but eventually succumbed to the temptation of becoming an emperor and restored the monarchy, only to be upheaved again by a Mr. Sun of the Sun Clan, hailing from Zhongshan...

After Mr. Sun’s demise, others ascended but they were selected by the Creation Laws to revolutionize the world; yet lacking firm conviction, none were truly suitable.

Thus, revolutions overthrew other revolutions, yet never managing to completely eradicate corruption or stabilize society, so that all beings could escape the Sea of Suffering.
