Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 336 The situation is serious
……

The momentum of the three wars is escalating.

On the surface, it seems that Buddhism is opposing the entire Heavenly Court.

In fact, it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that the Jade Emperor is secretly helping Buddhism.

Nezha's mutiny and Li Jing's decisive retreat with the demon-slaying army were likely all part of a pre-planned scheme.

After all, Nezha was saved by Buddha using lotus roots when he cut off his bones to return to his father. The Linglong Pagoda in Li Jing's hand was also a gift from Buddha, who told Nezha to recognize the Buddha in the pagoda as his father.

Over the years, if Li Jing hadn't held up this pagoda, how could the number one traitor in the Three Realms have possibly obeyed his plastic father? It would be a miracle if he didn't beat him up every time they met.

Now that the 100,000 heavenly soldiers have been defeated without a fight, Li Jing returned to the Heavenly Court and actually said that the Linglong Pagoda could no longer suppress that wicked Nezha. Who the hell would believe that?
The Daoist immortals in Lingxiao Palace immediately launched an attack. The Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole Qinghua directly proposed to imprison Li Jing and recommended that the Daoist heavenly generals in the Demon-Subduing Army be ordered to rush to the aid of the Eastern Continent.

However, after a heated argument that resembled a market stall, the Jade Emperor's faction rejected the request.

1 day in heaven and 9.42 days on earth.

This action severely delayed the opportunity for combat.

Meanwhile, the Buddhist army marching west to conquer the eastern continent was driven by fervent faith at the lower levels, a desperate commitment at the middle levels, and a reckless gamble at the top!
Under the personal guidance and command of the Buddha, they unleashed extraordinary fighting power.

In addition, several alien gods who had only submitted to the Heavenly Court under threat were persuaded by the Buddha and surrendered directly.

The Buddhist sect launched a blitzkrieg against Penglai Immortal Island, repelling the Eastern Emperor and the Taoist immortals, capturing Lu Xianweng alive, and seizing a large amount of longevity resources.

……

Although we have the strategic advantage, the tactical situation is dire.

The beaker reminded Tang Xuanci that once Tathagata achieved a great victory or stabilized the situation in the Eastern Continent, the next crisis would befall them.

Despite the fact that the group of anti-demon, including Nine-Headed Lion, Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha, the two Minotaur brothers, and the three Lion Camel Ridge brothers, easily reached Lingyun Ferry while the Western Paradise was empty.

But what level of stronghold is Lingshan?

As the ancestral source of the entire Niuhe Continent, it corresponds to the sun and stars above, connects to the nine netherworlds below, gathers the spirit of heaven and earth, and generates endless creations.

Even if Xiniu Hezhou is in decline and its myriad veins are scattered, Lingshan is still considered a top-tier (T1) mountain in the entire Three Realms.

There is only one T0-level, Tiangong.

Moreover, the Buddha left behind Dipankara Buddha, the Eight Vajras, and the Eighteen Arhats to guard the home.

As early as when the "Wandering Black Continent" plan was launched, all the remaining monks were recalled, and the Small Thousand Wheel Vajra Barrier was activated with Mount Ling as the core to cover a small world, and Mount Ling must not be lost.

Even if a group of anti-demons, supported by the Taoist sect, were to besiege Mount Ling for a hundred years, they would still not be able to break through.

So consider this:

Once Tathagata has established himself in the Eastern Continent and recovered some strength by plundering longevity resources from the Daoist sect through warfare, what will he do next?
They will definitely allocate some forces to return directly from the flat Western Sea to Mount Ling and begin to reclaim Xiniuhezhou.

Because this is where Buddhism flourished, the Buddha could not possibly abandon it. When planning the territory, he would most likely have included all of Tang Xuanci's assets, all the way to the west bank of the Liusha River.

You have to understand, he's no longer one of the Five Elders; he's a true outlaw, a beaver who can beat anyone.

Moreover, there is something else that Buddha certainly values ​​highly—

The host of the Golden Cicada Embryo and the Essence Hoop: Tang Xuanci, the Walking Peach Garden.

This is because he invented this top-level metaphysical technique.

Three hundred years ago, he was able to produce the first Nine-Turn Longevity Fruit;
Three hundred years from now, we will be able to produce a second one.

Tang Xuanci thought this made a lot of sense. When he thought of Buddha's superhuman fighting power, he felt that if the Buddhist sect really attacked back, even if he temporarily avoided the enemy's sharp edge, his great foundation would be ruined.

So he immediately asked, "What should we do with the beaker now?"
But even with a beaker, there's no best solution; the only worst one is:
"Take Mount Ling immediately."

Ah this?

Tang Xuanci was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, the best defense is offense?"

The beaker explained:
"The main Buddhist forces must now be focused on the Eastern Continent. If we concentrate all our nuclear weapons to break through the defensive barrier of Mount Ling, we can help the Heavenly Court capture this super fortress."

"Then the Tathagata will have completely lost his foothold in Xiniuhezhou, and it will not be so easy for him to cross the Western Sea to threaten us in the future."

Tang Xuanci asked:

"Our current nuclear bombs are only 2.5 million tons (TNT equivalent), and technically we can only produce large I-swastikas at most. We haven't even developed a single terahertz I-swastika yet (the greater the yield of a single nuclear bomb, the more complex the design of the fusion reaction).

Are you sure you can blow up Mount Ling?

"What if that Dipankara Buddha also has a faith cheat code? Although there are billions of times fewer people who worship him than those who worship the Buddha, his Buddha statue is placed to the left of the Buddha in the Mahavira Hall of Jinshan Temple."

"Furthermore, if we drop nuclear bombs, what will happen if the Heavenly Court investigates our crimes after the previous nuclear pacification of Huangfengling and Wusizang Zen Temple is exposed?"
"Does this mean we'll rebel even if we occupy Mount Ling?"

The beaker replied instantly:

"Launching a nuclear war is indeed risky, and it will definitely lead the immortals to recall old cases."

"We can only try to publicly attribute the nuclear explosion to Buddhism itself."

"The Heavenly Court is in dire need of manpower right now. Whether the immortals believe it or not, at least the Qingliu faction and the Taoist immortals certainly hope that Buddhism will lose Mount Ling, so they should not make things difficult for us for the time being."

"Of course, the explosion of hundreds of millions of tons of nuclear bombs has a huge impact and will still arouse the fear of various forces, which will be detrimental to our subsequent development."

"As for whether the existing nuclear weapons can break through the defensive barrier of Mount Ling, the feasibility needs to be further confirmed."

"Therefore, this is a poor choice."

"But it is also the best strategy we can currently take."

Tang Xuanci frowned and thought about it, feeling that this was indeed something that needed to be prepared for first.

Better safe than sorry. We can't just sit here and wait to die, and only pray that Buddha will perish together with Laozi in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
So he immediately summoned Wukong and Wuneng, planning to go to the Western Paradise to investigate the defensive capabilities of Mount Ling.

He then called Sha Wujing, asking him to help him network with the higher-ups in the Taoist sect and explore the possibility of cooperating to develop Mount Ling.

……

Half a month later.

The situation continues to deteriorate.

The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunder and Lightning of the Nine Heavens personally led the Demon-Subduing Army to the mortal realm.
The strongest mercenary in the Three Realms—Erlang Shenjun, the Manifestation Saint—also led his Guanjiangkou Group from Zhanbuzhou to aid Shengshenzhou.
However, it still failed to stop the Buddha's attack.

The Buddhist army's offensive finally stopped when the other two Taoist patriarchs among the Three Pure Ones also arrived in Bengbu and took action one after another.

But by this time, they had already successfully occupied the four continents of Chang, Liu, Sheng, and Juku.

Meanwhile, in the Western Paradise, the Anti-Demon Alliance saw that the situation was not good. They could not move forward to shake Mount Ling, and the Independent Army was watching them from behind. They were clearly caught in a dilemma.

While the demons were filled with fear, Dipankara Buddha sent his mother, the daughter of the Peacock King Bodhisattva, to secretly persuade her uncle, the Golden-Winged Roc.

The three brothers of Lion Camel Ridge then converted to Buddhism and set up a trap, inviting the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha and the Ox-Headed Man brothers. They arranged for the Eight Vajras and the Eighteen Arhats to ambush outside the mountain, agreeing to use "Lighting the Lamp" (the Spirit Lamp) as a signal to carry out their plan to harm them.

It's worth mentioning that they didn't invite the Nine-Headed Lion.

It's just because... it's too fierce, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it.

That night!

As soon as the Spirit Lamp lit up, this group of plastic comrades immediately started fighting, and the Anti-Demon Alliance immediately fell apart.

The few villains who went to the meeting were actually quite cautious, and they brought quite a few people with them.

The Bull Demon King and the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha fought their way out and escaped.

King Si was not so lucky. His most powerful magic weapon, the Vajra Bracelet, was gone, and the injuries he sustained from being beaten up by the monkey had not yet healed.

In the end, it fought to the bitter end with sheer grit, successfully taking the two Arhats, "Joy" and "Happiness," with it. Then, the Eight Vajras attacked together and directly delivered them to the afterlife.
