Chapter 549: Chapter 462 Sun Wukong’s Proposal_2

Wu Tian could become one with Buddha-demon because he completely lost hope in Buddhism, and thus turned to demonhood in one thought.

Up to now, Wu Tian’s Buddhist law has been unable to advance further, only maintaining the level he had before he began practicing demon arts.

If this pattern holds, then the identity of Ksitigarbha is very much worth contemplating.

Without a doubt, the current Ksitigarbha is undoubtedly of the Demon Clan, but certainly has not always been of the Demon Clan.

Who then originally seized Ksitigarbha’s body?

"Have a seat."

The Sect Hierarch of Tongtian looked at Wang Yang who had returned and delivered messages, nodding as he spoke.

With a grave expression, Wang Yang then said to the Sect Hierarch, "Celestial Venerate, the invasion of the Demon Clan now stirs unrest in the Three Realms. On Far East Island, a battle has already been fought. An incarnation of Sage Zhunti has fallen, and I fear the Demon Cult has more tricks up their sleeve!"

"Zhunti’s incarnation is not weak. To have a Saint’s incarnation fall within a short span is no minor feat... My fellow Daoist, even your slaying of a Quasi-Saint would basically cause the aftershocks of the battle to be sensed."

"But this time..."

"Sage Zhunti did not fall in battle but was drained of all his cultivation by Ksitigarbha, leading to the fall of his incarnation."

Wang Yang spoke up to correct him, meaning these incarnations of Saints, if replaced with another Quasi-Saint, would just be reduced to ordinary humans upon the loss of their cultivation, but the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint’s incarnation would disperse into nothing.

"Now in the Three Realms, rather than saying it is Wu Tian leading the Demon Clan, it is rather Ksitigarbha who leads them."

"Besides the Quasi-Saints on Mount Meru such as Wu Tian, Ksitigarbha along with the Four Great Demon Kings makes five Quasi-Saints."

"Such grand machinations from the Demon Clan!"

Wang Yang spoke with reluctance; disregarding their fighting strength, just mustering this number is not an easy feat.

Though Beiju Luzhou has gathered twenty or thirty Quasi-Saints, that includes several major and minor powers.

Now that a single Demon Clan has brought forth so many Quasi-Saints, it indeed is notable.

"Alas, the rise of the Demon Clan? Unfortunately, now celestial secrets are obscured, and even a Saint cannot sense much!"

The Sect Hierarch of Tongtian also felt helpless, "Now during the great calamity of the Three Realms, if we cannot overcome it, let alone the Cutting Teachings Sect, even the Three Realms will face a crisis!"

"Senior, since Ancestral Master Hongjun defeated the Demon Clan’s Luohou, why do the contemporary Demon Kings still declare themselves under the Demon Ancestor?"

Wang Yang was also baffled by this, since Ancestral Master Hongjun had defeated Luohou, who then vanished.

However, Wu Tian is the Evil Corpse of Luohou.

If Luohou still exists, how could there be another Ksitigarbha standing above Wu Tian?

And if there is a new Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan, then who could it be?

"I do not know about this matter either, but this Demon Ancestor certainly isn’t Luohou."

"My master once said that Luohou will not reappear in this world; I believe my master would not deceive us."

The Sect Hierarch of Tongtian slowly shook his head, indicating he also did not know.

Wang Yang felt helpless; now the figures like King Taiyou, Prison-Suppressing King, Demon King, and Poxun, all claim to be under the Demon Ancestor.

But until now, no one even knows who the Demon Ancestor is.

"Senior, is it possible to contact Ancestral Master Hongjun? Perhaps some help could be obtained from him."

"And now in the Three Realms, there shouldn’t be any Saints appearing, right?"

Wang Yang asked hopefully.

After all, it would save some detours, and there would be no need to continue spending time on verification.

"No!"

The Sect Hierarch of Tongtian still shook his head, "The descent of us Saints’ incarnations to the lower realm was arranged by Ancestral Master Hongjun."

"If we want to contact the Ancestral Master, we can only dissolve our incarnations in the cosmos to return to our Saint bodies."

"But by then, although it might be possible to see the Ancestral Master, it would be difficult to relay the message back."

"Otherwise, I would not have descended after the end of Setian Stone Squads at Heaven’s End!"

Now that Zhunti has not sent another incarnation to the lower realm, one knows that the rule is still respected in Heaven Beyond the Heavens.

To contact Hongjun Ancestral Master without giving up the incarnation is an impossibility.

"In that case, let it be."

Wang Yang shook his head, but he had not yet given up the thought of contacting Hongjun. He believed that Hongjun knew much more about the matters of the Demon Clan than he did.

It was merely a trip to the Dark Demon Realm, and what he learned was basically nothing.

"Senior, currently, the Cutting Teachings Sect has only a few Quasi-Saints, do not leave Golden Turtle Island."

"I understand, you and Sun Wukong must also be careful!"

"You are the variable, you may have a restraining effect on the Demon Clan!"

Leader of the Tongtian Sect remained silent for a while, then spoke.

"Good!"

Wang Yang nodded, then left the Biyou Palace and went towards Mount Huaguo.

"Alas, it’s not that I wish to withhold, but some things, I still cannot tell you... If you can successfully take that step and become a Saint, then naturally, you will know much more!"

"But now, it’s difficult for the Three Realms to produce a Saint, even if you’re only a paper’s width away, it’s feared that you will have to go through lots of troubles."

Watching Wang Yang’s departing figure, the Leader of the Tongtian Sect murmured to himself while sitting inside the Biyou Palace.

At the same time, he looked up as if watching Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

A few days ago, news had come from Southern Continent Jambudvipa that the Demon Clan was causing trouble in the area.

Now, with the celestial Jade Emperor siding with the Demon Clan, if he does not take action, the Three Realms might really fall completely into the hands of the Demon Cult.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Upon seeing the visitor, Xuanzang quickly called out and invited Wang Yang into the house.

"Xuanzang, how is Southern Continent Jambudvipa now?"

Wang Yang asked.

"To the south of Southern Continent Jambudvipa, there are hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race living, but they haven’t come to Southern Continent Jambudvipa yet."

"Hundreds of thousands of the Demon Race consist of over a hundred different clans. Apart from occasionally raiding Southern Continent Jambudvipa, they are usually quiet."

As soon as he mentioned this issue, Xuanzang’s expression became severe.

With hundreds of thousands of the Demon Clan stationed there, it’s impossible to say there is no pressure.

Especially since the establishment of New Buddhism, only Xuanzang and Sun Wukong reached Quasi-Saint, Zhu Bajie reached Great Luo, and Sand Monk was merely at the pinnacle of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Such strength, in the Three Realms, really amounts to nothing.

Even though they replaced the old Buddhism, their strength is undoubtedly the weakest.

"So far, the Demon Clan has already produced dozens of Great Luo, and there are a few at the Pinnacle of Great Luo."

"I originally wanted to capture a few members of the Demon Clan for questioning, but it seems there is a prohibition in the Primordial Spirit. Before I could even act, the target had already died."

"Some members of the Demon Clan, upon seeing they were about to be captured, would commit suicide directly. Apart from an initial estimate on the outside, I know nothing of the internal affairs of the Demon Clan."

Xuanzang is not the kind of foolish monk who refuses to kill, but upon thinking of those Demon Clan members who chose to die to keep their information secret, even he, with his Quasi-Saint Cultivation, still finds it troublesome.

"It seems that the Demon Clan indeed poses a great menace!"

Wang Yang’s expression was grave. To know oneself and one’s enemy is essential to win every battle, but now, without any opportunity to understand the opponent, it becomes very troublesome.

"Now the Three Realms are in chaos. Underworld has Houtu presiding over and has closed the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It should be impossible for the Demon Clan to attack there anymore."

"But with hundreds of thousands of the Demon Clan stationed in Southern Continent Jambudvipa, it’s conceivable that they’ll make their move here first."

After a moment’s thought, Wang Yang said to Xuanzang, "Even though the celestial Court has dispatched celestial Soldiers and Generals on the surface, I fear that when the time comes, they won’t be reliable!"

"If the Demon Clan really starts to attack, you guys probably won’t be able to hold them off!"

"If by then Southern Continent Jambudvipa suffers greatly, the Human Race will be doomed, and your New Buddhism will be finished."

Wang Yang saw clearly that if the Demon Clan really took over Southern Continent Jambudvipa and preyed on the common people, what would be finished wouldn’t just be New Buddhism.

The Human Race is the foundation of all beings. Without the Human Race, the fate of various sects would dissipate completely, and when the time comes, failing to form a sect will be the biggest trouble.

"What should we do then?"

Xuanzang nodded, he naturally understood, but he was also powerless.

"Master, have you forgotten those demons you converted along the way? Although they are demons, the earth is also the fundamental basis for their existence. If the Demon Clan takes over the land, that will occupy their fundamental basis too!"

Just then, Sun Wukong spoke up.

"In that case, it’s not unfeasible!"

Wang Yang was quite approving of Sun Wukong’s suggestion. Although the Demon Race is weak, if united, they could be a strong force.

"And recently, Bajie has also been in touch with his friends in the celestial Court; if Emperor Father does nothing, not all in the celestial Court might listen to him!"

Sun Wukong said with a smile.
