Chapter 581: Four Seven Six, the Great Wish of Hongmeng_3

Especially now, when Sun Wukong has been trapped by Jiang Chen’s divine power, he could be refined by him at any moment. There was no time for the Buddha to hesitate, so he took action without any care or caution.

"You bald recluse, shameless!"

Upon seeing this, an Immortal Person couldn’t help but curse loudly.

Jiang Chen was about to take down Sun Wukong when the Buddha intervened. Wasn’t this clearly an attempt to take credit and snatch victory?

Neither early nor late, he chose to act at the moment of another’s success. The Buddha’s actions were somewhat disgraceful, even disgusting.

"Buddha, your kindness is unnecessary. I, myself, can handle this mere demon monkey. There’s no need for you to intervene."

In the middle of his speech, a jade tablet suddenly appeared above Jiang Chen’s head. On it was neatly inscribed a large character - Respect!

Respect is the law of heaven, the righteousness of earth, the path for humans!

The moment the jade tablet appeared, recitations seemed to resonate between heaven and earth. The next moment, a holy, overwhelming righteousness, akin to the sky and earth, the sun and the moon, erupted, sweeping across everything.

In front of this overpowering righteousness, the Buddha’s divine power was like ice meeting fire, rapidly melting away.

"The handwriting of a saint!"

Gazing at the word ’respect’ on the jade tablet, the Buddha’s pupils contracted. He quickly retreated to the side, fearful of coming into contact with this overwhelming righteousness.

Here, the reference to a ’saint’ does not allude to the Six Saints of Heavenly Dao, but to the Saint of Confucianism!

At the end of his life, the Confucian Saint comprehended all truths of the world, akin to the embodiment of the righteous path of heaven and earth, possessing power comparable to that of the saints. He was no less than a saint in terms of his realm of cultivation.

Therefore, after the Confucian Saint perished, he was referred to as ’saint’ by the world, to honor his merits.

The jade tablet that Jiang Chen wielded was from the treasury of the Great Qin, upon it was a character for ’respect’, personally inscribed by the Confucian Saint.

The strength of the Confucian Saint was equivalent to that of a saint. The true relics left by him, which contained traces of his will, were naturally not something the Buddha could resist.

Hence, the Buddha chose to avoid them. He was already critically injured. If he were to be further injured by the overwhelming righteousness, the golden body he had refined at a great cost might not survive.

...

After driving back the Buddha with the overwhelming righteousness, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated, preparing to employ another supreme divine power to suppress Sun Wukong in one go.

But it was at this moment that the Buddha’s voice sounded again: "Jiang Chen, -you are indeed impressive. As a genius of the Mystic Sect, the power of your divine abilities is astounding."

"However, this demon monkey is no ordinary being, related to the Chaos Demigod. He’s far beyond your current capabilities. Step aside and let this poor monk suppress him to rid the Three Realms of this trouble."

The Chaos Demigod!

Upon hearing this, shock appeared in the eyes of all the gods. Everything fell into place. No wonder this demon monkey was so powerful, showing signs of transforming into a Fierce Beast–he was related to the Chaos Demigod.

The immortals were ignorant of the inside story, hence their shock. But those in the know, like Jiang Chen, naturally scoffed at these claims.

At this point, the Buddha had fully abandoned all shame. Anyone with eyes could see that Sun Wukong was on the verge of being suppressed by Jiang Chen.

Yet he dared to fabricate lies with his eyes wide open, proclaiming that Jiang Chen was no match for Sun Wukong and asking him to step aside so that he could take over.

Jiang Chen didn’t even feel like arguing with the Buddha, he just spurred the saint’s handwriting, using the overwhelming righteousness to suppress everything, keeping the Buddha away.

However, the Buddha was determined to stop Jiang Chen today, and a ’manji’ (swastika) symbol emerged from his hands, dispersing the overwhelming righteousness and moving towards Sun Wukong.

If Jiang Chen has the handwriting of a saint, then the Buddha, being who he is, surely would not be lacking in the same. That ’manji’ symbol was personally written by the Jieyin Saint. Thus, it was able to dispel the overwhelming righteousness.

At this point, Jiang Chen laughed and said, "Buddha, open your eyes and see if I can handle Sun Wukong!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen’s figure began to grow larger. The overlapping space-time started to quiver. Heaven and earth shook as the tides of time began to counterflow, to reverse, and Jiang Chen issued a powerful proclamation, "When I become a saint, all beings from countless worlds will enter the Celestial Realm. Time, like water, is transient!"

Heaven, earth, and all of space-time froze, coming to a standstill at this moment.

Sun Wukong’s struggling figure also briefly froze, but he quickly broke free and continued to oppose Jiang Chen.

Nonetheless, Jiang Chen did not stop, but announced even louder, shaking countless spaces: "When I become a saint, all foreign paths will not enter the world. All beings will not be corrupted by foreign paths..."

"When I become a saint, all beings, as numerous as the dust particles of all the heavens, thinking of my name, will attain liberation, boundless and limitless!

"When I become a saint, all evil will be ultimately destroyed..."

"When I become a saint, all past karma will ultimately be freed..."

"When I become a saint, in all of space and time, past and future, all beings, as numerous as specks of dust from all kinds of shattered stars, will find liberation upon invoking my name. If this is not so, I will not become a saint."

Boom!

From the boundless space, a surge of willpower vast as the sea of stars came rolling down, transforming into golden rivers, pouring and surging, engulfing Sun Wukong’s body.

Sun Wukong trembled as if unable to withstand this power. The Chaos fog surrounding him began to crack, and his body displayed numerous rifts with blood incessantly flowing.

"Is this a great vow?"

"Is Jiang Chen giving a great vow to Heaven, intending to exchange it for great power to suppress Sun Wukong?"

"This is too impulsive. It’s truly too impulsive. He’s issuing such a great vow just to suppress Sun Wukong, risking the chance to become a saint, it’s not worth it."

"To let all beings to attain liberation, how is that possible?"
