Chapter 487: Chapter 434: The Holy Monk Approaches, A Great Flourishing of Buddhism

Listening to the words of Ksitigarbha Pusa, it was clear that there was more to what the other was saying.

"Fellow Daoist, being an unpredictable factor has already been set in stone, but this humble monk has a word of caution."

Ksitigarbha Pusa’s eyes were filled with wisdom as he looked at Wang Yang and said, "The great calamity of the Three Realms, the battles among the Various Sects, but this is merely the beginning of the Three Realms’ calamity."

"Once the great war among the Various Sects settles, and the articles of the Three Realms are established, the greatest disaster of the Three Realms will also arrive."

After speaking, Ksitigarbha Pusa closed his eyes, brought his palms together in prayer, and began to recite scriptures softly.

Wang Yang’s heart was filled with complexity. Ksitigarbha had told him these words, clearly intending to remind him of something.

After remaining silent for a while, Wang Yang stood up, bowed to Ksitigarbha, and turned to leave.

Ksitigarbha had said all that needed to be said.

Staying here any longer would serve no purpose.

However, the words that Ksitigarbha said afterwards still caused Wang Yang to ponder deeply—aside from the war of the Various Sects, was there another great calamity facing the Three Realms?

Could it be the Demon Clan?

Wu Tian’s identity is that of the Demon Clan.

After Wang Yang had left, Ksitigarbha Pusa, who had previously appeared serene, was seated on his cushion reciting scriptures. But in a split second, his expression faltered.

In an instant, his handsome face became distorted, to the point where even his original features were unrecognizable.

The room within the hut twisted briefly, and a mythical beast with the head of a tiger and the horn and feet of a Qilin appeared inside the hut—it was Ksitigarbha Pusa’s divine beast, Dharmapala.

At that moment, Dharmapala looked at Ksitigarbha with an expression of urgency in his eyes.

But he was helpless to act.

"With Ksitigarbha here, you all have no chance of success!"

After speaking, Ksitigarbha Pusa continued with his palms together in prayer, reciting scriptures.

"Hahaha, you can stop me temporarily, but in the end, you will be destroyed, no one can stop it!"

Another voice came from within Ksitigarbha, and it was because of this presence that Ksitigarbha had transformed into his current state.

Dharmapala also heard this voice but he was powerless to do anything.

Clearly, it was not the first time Dharmapala had seen Ksitigarbha in this state.

Unaffected, Ksitigarbha Pusa’s chanting became louder and louder, causing the Blood Sea to churn.

A halo of treasure light emerged behind him, enveloping the entire hut within it.

Gradually, as Ksitigarbha Pusa’s telekinetic power increased, the originally roaring voice grew smaller, and the ferocious features became normal again.

The hut was once again the place of a handsome Bodhisattva reciting scriptures, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Yang, who had left the hut, was unaware of the transformation of Ksitigarbha Pusa; by this time, he had already left the Underworld and returned to the Eastern Sea.

But just then, Wang Yang suddenly received a transmission from the Leader of the Tongtian Sect.

The content of which took Wang Yang by surprise.

"All Saints are initiating the cleansing plan, all Sects are moving, come to Golden Turtle Island!"

If he wished to understand the doings of the Saints, he clearly must go to Golden Turtle Island to see for himself.

Wang Yang changed his course and sped towards Golden Turtle Island.

Within moments, Wang Yang had already arrived at Golden Turtle Island.

The Sect Leader of Tongtian seemed to have been waiting there for him, greeting Wang Yang with a slight smile.

"Greetings to the celestial Venerate!"

Wang Yang spoke courteously.

Even though they did not have significant involvement with each other, as the other party was indeed a Saint, Wang Yang naturally needed to show some respect. Moreover, the Sect Hierarch of Tongtian had to inform him of certain matters, for which he was grateful.

"I wonder, celestial Venerate, has your endeavor come to an end?"

Wang Yang asked curiously.

"Do not be impatient, my friend. I’ve come precisely to tell you about this matter!"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect smiled faintly, indicating Wang Yang need not be too anxious.

He then began to speak, "The Saints have determined a plan of cleansing, with Quasi-Saints and above from the Various Sects being mobilized."

"This so-called plan of cleansing is specifically aimed at the Four Great Evil Beasts and the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts that emerged in the early days of the Primordial Continent."

"I have slain Chaos, the Two Sages of Buddhism have cut down Qiong Qi, the Expounding Teachings and Human Teachings Sects joined forces to slay Taowu, and Wa Huang Palace has subdued Taotie. As for the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, they have fallen to the hands of the second generation Quasi-Saint Disciples and been vanquished."

"The celestial Court, too, was part of the plan, but we Saints cannot directly assault it forcefully, especially considering many disciples from the Expounding Teachings and Cutting Teachings Sects are still within the celestial Court."

"However, after the great calamity of the Three Realms, the Four States will be redistributed, and the celestial Court will be closed down."

"Henceforth, there will no longer be a celestial Court, a consensus among all the Saints."

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect spoke calmly to Wang Yang, clearly happy that, with the Investiture of the Gods back in hand and the Cutting Teachings Sect restored, things were going well.

Setting other issues aside, the original dissolution of the Cutting Teachings Sect had been a burden, but Wang Yang had helped him retrieve the Investiture of the Gods, much to his delight.

Next, the Various Sects must confront the coming storm in Beiju Luzhou.

The situation in Beiju Luzhou is changeable, while in Southern Continent Jambudvipa, through the efforts of Xuanzang and others, New Buddhism has become an unstoppable force.

Now, Southern Continent Jambudvipa has almost forgotten Mount Meru, there are only the Holy Monk Xuanzang and New Buddhism.

"All Dharma Appearances, all Bodhisattvas, all Buddhas..."

"All things are empty, the Four Empty Elements are empty, all Buddhas are empty, all celestial beings are empty..."

Xuanzang sat in meditative posture on the Lotus Platform, his face expressing ineffable compassion.

At the same time, above Chang’an Buddhist Temple, fate gathered, shrouding the entire Southern Continent Jambudvipa.

Since the establishment of New Buddhism, the entire Southern Continent Jambudvipa had become a land of New Buddhism’s evangelism. As a result, the power of faith converged into a river, and the fate was indistinctly visible.

As Xuanzang uttered that all celestial beings are empty, golden light surged in the heavens, showering down endless merit.

"Master, Master is really going to attain Buddhahood!"

Zhu Bajie saw this scene and was visibly moved with excitement.

Sun Wukong had been protecting Xuanzang calmly by his side.

As Xuanzang absorbed the incoming merit, Zhu Bajie felt that their once weakest Master’s power had gradually surpassed his own, but he bore no grudge at all.
