I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Tu Xiaonai's auspicious aura can ward off evil and bring good fortune. Having her by one's side might actually have an unexpected effect.

"Alright, then you will come with us. Remember to stay by my side and do not act on your own."

Jiang Wang nodded quickly: "I understand, Elder."

Before long, dozens of experts from the auspicious realm had gathered, all exuding powerful auras and surrounded by a rich auspicious energy.

At the command of the white-haired elder, everyone took to the air and flew towards Thundercloud Valley in the east.

Jiang Wang also circulated his spiritual energy and followed the group, deliberately slowing down to appear as if his cultivation was insufficient, perfectly matching Tu Xiaonai's identity.

During the flight, Jiang Wang secretly observed the cultivators around him and made a general assessment of the strength of the Auspicious Realm.

Most of these cultivators were between Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal. The white-haired old man was the most powerful, having reached the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. If placed in the prehistoric world, he would only be considered a mid-level force and could not be compared with Jiang Wang's disciples at all.

However, in the Auspicious Realm, with the blessing of the Great Dao's will, their strength can be greatly enhanced, which should be enough to deal with those extraterrestrial evil spirits.

About half an hour later, the group arrived above Thundercloud Valley.

At this moment, the black mist in Thundercloud Valley grew increasingly dense. Within the churning thunderclouds, a huge crack could be vaguely seen slowly widening, from which malevolent energy continuously surged out, polluting the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Several dark figures were busy below the crack; these were the extraterrestrial evil spirits that Jiang Wang had sensed earlier.

"As expected, there are evil spirits from beyond the realm!"

The white-haired old man roared, and his auspicious aura surged, transforming into a dazzling light screen that enveloped the black mist below. "You audacious evil spirits, how dare you invade my Auspicious Realm! Today, I will grind you to dust!"

The extraterrestrial evil spirits below noticed the commotion above and stopped what they were doing, looking up.

The leader was a tall, dark figure, exuding a menacing aura; he was the owner of the hoarse voice from before.

He sneered and said in a sinister tone, "You're nothing but ants from the realm of auspicious omens, yet you dare to block our path. Today, you will all become our nourishment!"

Before the words were even finished, the dark figure waved his hand, and dozens of black malevolent energies swept towards the crowd. Wherever the malevolent energies passed, the air was corroded and hissed.

"Everyone be careful!"

The white-haired old man gave a reminder, and with a hand seal, the auspicious light screen instantly expanded, blocking the black evil energy.

With a loud "bang," the malevolent energy collided with the light barrier. The light barrier trembled violently, and ripples spread across it, but it ultimately managed to block the attack of the malevolent energy.

"Let's do it!"

At the command of the white-haired elder, the cultivators behind him launched their attacks, unleashing spells imbued with auspicious energy towards the extraterrestrial evil spirits below.

In an instant, light flashed above Thundercloud Valley, auspicious energy clashed with black malevolent energy, and explosions and roars rose and fell.

Jiang Wang followed the white-haired old man, not in a hurry to make a move. He pretended to be panicked and released a faint aura of auspiciousness from time to time, seemingly to help resist the evil energy, but in reality, he was secretly observing the moves of those evil spirits from beyond the realm.

He discovered that these extraterrestrial evil spirits possessed extremely insidious techniques, feeding on spiritual energy and having incredibly strong defenses; ordinary spells simply could not inflict fatal damage on them.

“This can’t go on. These evil spirits are too strong. We can’t deal with them quickly. If they open up the passage, we’ll be in trouble.” A cultivator said anxiously. His arm was cut by the evil energy, and black energy was spreading from the wound. He was obviously poisoned by the evil energy.

The white-haired old man's face was solemn; he too had realized the seriousness of the problem.

The strength of these extraterrestrial evils far exceeded his expectations. If the delay continued, and their leader arrived once the passage was opened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Everyone, concentrate your efforts and attack that crack first to stop them from opening up the passage!"

The white-haired old man made a decisive move, changing tactics and launching the first attack towards the huge crack.

The other cultivators responded in unison, unleashing powerful spells towards the crack.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the shadowy figures changed his expression and immediately said, "Quickly, protect the passage! We can't let them destroy it!"

He leaped forward, blocking the crack, his murderous aura coalescing into a black shield that blocked everyone's attacks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The spells continued to bombard the black shield, causing it to tremble violently and become covered in cracks, yet it never broke.

The shadowy figure roared, continuously channeling its malevolent energy to repair the cracks in the shield.

Jiang Wang watched this scene, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The time is almost right; it's his turn to make his move.

He deliberately pretended to be affected by the evil energy, staggered, and fell towards the crack.

Upon seeing this, the white-haired old man was startled and quickly shouted, "Little girl, be careful!"

Taking advantage of the momentum of the fall, Jiang Wang secretly channeled his primordial energy, transforming it into pure auspicious energy, which he then gathered at his fingertips.

As he approached the crack, he suddenly raised his hand, and a seemingly weak but actually powerful aura of auspicious energy blasted towards the back of the dark figure.

The dark figure was focused on fending off the group's attacks and was completely unaware of the sneak attack from behind.

With a "whoosh," the auspicious energy instantly pierced through his black shield and struck his back.

The shadowy figure stiffened, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Its murderous aura instantly weakened, and its black shield shattered.

"Chance!"

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up, and he immediately led everyone in a fierce attack, unleashing powerful spells at the shadow and the crack.

Without the protection of the shield, the shadowy figure was unable to withstand the group's attacks and was instantly engulfed by the magic, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.

The other extraterrestrial evil spirits, seeing this, were terrified and lost all will to resist, turning around to try to escape.

"None of them will leave!"

The white-haired old man roared, and the auspicious aura around him transformed into a huge net, enveloping all the evil spirits from beyond the realm.

Jiang Wang slowly steadied himself, pretending to be still shaken, and patted his chest: "That was close, luckily I acted in time, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

The white-haired old man walked to his side, his eyes full of praise: "Little lady, you did a great job! If it weren't for your attack just now, we wouldn't have been able to break through his shield, nor would we have been able to deal with these evil spirits so quickly."

You've done a great job this time!

The other cultivators also gathered around, praising Jiang Wang profusely.

"Little Milk is truly gifted. I never imagined that your auspicious aura would have such great power."

"Yes, thanks to Little Milk, we were able to resolve this crisis."

Jiang Wang smiled shyly and said, "You flatter me, I was just lucky."

He secretly rejoiced; this move had been brilliant. Not only had it resolved the crisis in the Auspicious Realm, but it had also gained everyone's trust, allowing the rest of the plan to proceed smoothly. The white-haired elder waved his hand, retracting the Auspicious Net that had enveloped the extraterrestrial evil spirits. He said to the crowd, "These evil spirits are still useful. Let's take them back to Ruixia Palace and interrogate them thoroughly to see if they have any other accomplices and what their true purpose was in opening the passage."

Everyone nodded in agreement, crowding around Jiang Wang as they flew towards Ruixia Palace.

The crisis at Thundercloud Valley has been temporarily averted, but Jiang Wang knows that this is only the beginning.

Since the extraterrestrial forces dared to invade the Auspicious Realm, they will certainly not let it go so easily, and there will definitely be even greater crises to come.

He will take this opportunity to gradually establish himself in the world of auspicious omens, and then seize the chance to infiltrate the Journey to the West forces to complete his ultimate plan.

Meanwhile, in the primordial western Niuhe Prefecture, deep within the sacred mountains.

After the Buddha's passing, Mount Ling was left leaderless, with only a few Buddhas and disciples remaining there, keeping the mountain closed off from the world.

Inside the main hall, several remaining Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sat together, their expressions solemn and the atmosphere oppressive.

"Now that the human race is powerful and the Heavenly Court has been destroyed, our Buddhist sect is trapped here with a bleak future. Does anyone have any countermeasures?" A Buddha wearing a yellow kasaya asked. He was Dipankara Buddha, one of the most senior Buddhas in Buddhism, who was temporarily in charge of the overall situation in Buddhism.

“Dipankara Buddha, in my opinion, we should take the initiative to show goodwill to the human race, put aside past grievances, and perhaps we can still find a glimmer of hope,” a Bodhisattva said, his tone full of helplessness.

The Buddhist community is currently in a difficult situation; if it continues to fight against the human race, it will only bring about its own destruction.

"Offering goodwill? Easier said than done!"

Another Buddha snorted coldly, "When the human race launched their westward expedition, our Buddhist sect suffered heavy casualties, Mount Ling was destroyed, and many Buddhas perished. How could the human race easily let go of this hatred? Moreover, Jiang Wang is extremely ambitious. What he wants is control over the entire prehistoric world. If our Buddhist sect takes the initiative to show goodwill, it will only make him more demanding."

Everyone fell silent; the Buddha's words were not without reason.

They had already witnessed Jiang Wang's methods; he was ruthless, decisive, and ambitious. It was virtually impossible to get him to spare the Buddhist sect.

Just then, a disciple rushed in, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the Ancient Buddha, there is a cultivator outside who claims to be Muzha requesting an audience, saying that he has important matters to report."

"Muzha?"

Dipankara Buddha frowned slightly. "Li Jing's second son? What is he doing here at Mount Ling? Let him in."

Before long, Muzha followed his disciple in and bowed to everyone, saying, "Disciple Muzha greets all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."

What important matter brings you to Mount Ling?

Dipankara Buddha asked slowly.

Muzha said, "Reporting to the Ancient Buddha, this disciple has come here today for the matter of the Journey to the West."

My father believes that the current situation in the prehistoric world is turbulent. Only by restarting the Journey to the West, obtaining the true scriptures, and saving all living beings can the crisis be resolved, the reputation of Buddhism be restored, and even the relationship with the human race be eased.

"I have already met with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she instructed me to come and report to all the ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas so that we may discuss this matter together."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

The idea of ​​restarting the Journey to the West series has once again been put on the table.

"Restart the Journey to the West?" A Bodhisattva frowned and said, "Now that Tang Sanzang is missing, and Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing are also nowhere to be found, restarting the Journey to the West is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Moreover, whether the human race will agree is still unknown."

Another Buddha added, "If the human race interferes, the Journey to the West cannot be carried out at all."

Muzha said, "Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Tang Sanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. He has a profound foundation. Even if he is stranded in the prehistoric world, he will surely be safe and sound. As long as we send people to search for him, we will definitely be able to find him."

Sun Wukong was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain. Now that the Buddha has fallen, the restrictions on the Five Elements Mountain have loosened. As long as we send someone to lift the seal, we can rescue him.

Although Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are missing, they are both former subordinates of the Heavenly Court, and my father can send people to inquire about their whereabouts.

As for the human race, as long as we can prove that the Journey to the West is beneficial to the prehistoric world, I presume the human race will not rashly obstruct us.”

Dipankara Buddha pondered for a long time, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Now that Buddhism has reached a dead end, restarting the Journey to the West may be the only way out.

"Okay, then we'll do it your way."

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara slowly said, "We will immediately send people to find Tang Sanzang's whereabouts, and then send people to the Five Elements Mountain to unseal Sun Wukong."

Also, go back and tell your father that the Buddhist sect has agreed to restart the Journey to the West project, and earnestly request his assistance in finding the whereabouts of Pigsy and Sandy.

Muzha was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Disciple obeys! Thank you for your trust, ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Disciple will certainly convey the truth to my father."

Watching Muzha's departing figure, Dipankara Buddha slowly said, "The matter of the Journey to the West concerns the life and death of Buddhism. You all must do your utmost."

"I hope that this time, we can defy fate and restore the glory of Buddhism."

Everyone nodded, a glimmer of hope igniting in their eyes.

This is Buddhism's last chance; it can only succeed, it cannot fail.

Meanwhile, inside the Auspicious Cloud Palace in the Auspicious Realm, Jiang Wang was interrogating the captured extraterrestrial evil spirits with the help of the white-haired old man.

After being subjected to severe torture, the evil spirits finally revealed the truth.

They come from the Asura Demon Realm beyond the realm. Their purpose in coming to the Auspicious Realm is to find a pure land and place to establish a base, and then gradually invade the Primordial World, Journey to the West, and other realms.

Their leader is the Demon King of the Asura Demon Realm, whose cultivation is profound, far surpassing that of the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World. If he were to descend, the entire Three Realms would face a catastrophe.

"The Asura Demon King?"

The white-haired old man's expression turned solemn. "I never expected him to be such a formidable character."

It seems we must notify the forces in the Primordial World, Journey to the West, and other realms as soon as possible, so they can prepare for battle.

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat; his opportunity had arrived.

He immediately said, "Elder, I am willing to travel to the primordial wilderness, the Journey to the West, and other places to deliver messages."

Although my cultivation level is not high, I have divine sense protecting me and can conceal my aura, making me difficult to detect.

He deliberately volunteered to take the opportunity to leave the Auspicious Realm, go to the Journey to the West territory, and make contact with the Journey to the West forces.

The white-haired old man hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Wang, his eyes full of trust: "Alright, then I'll leave it to you, little lady."

This is a token of auspiciousness. Take it to places like the Primordial World and Journey to the West, find the local core forces, and inform them of this matter.

Remember, be careful on your journey. If you encounter any danger, return to the Auspicious Realm immediately. (End of Chapter)
