Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 350 From a Pale-faced Child to the Jade Emperor
The man and the monkey fought from dusk till dawn, giving it their all for thirteen thousand two hundred and fifty rounds!
The golden cudgel was bent, and the Qiankun Ring was deflated.

The match remains undecided.

It turns out that although Nezha was not one of the 22 people who had achieved perfect mental state, he was exceptionally gifted and his combat power was comparable to that of Buddha and the Three Pure Ones!
Last time, during the bloodbath in the East China Sea, they didn't even go all out.

As for the monkey, during these two and a half years, he only went to Moshengdu five times, and rarely went online to play games. He devoted most of his attention to the scripture pavilion of Daleiyin Temple and the database of his Macbook.

Moreover, Tang Xuanci persuaded Yinyin to give guidance to her three disciples and several sisters with higher cultivation levels by exchanging scientific and technological knowledge and binding their interests together.

The monkey benefited greatly. Although it still couldn't touch its true nature in terms of mindset, it had already mastered all 117 variations of the four fundamental forces of the universe; it had also achieved great success in the dimensional reduction attack of the eight directions and six realms.

Even Nezha, after seeing this, had to exclaim in admiration:
"Great variation, great staff technique!"

"It seems that your master, the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, is no less wise than the one from five hundred years ago."

"You used to be really funny, you mischievous monkey."

"But now, I, Nezha, am willing to call you: Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

When the monkey heard him mention his master from five hundred years ago, he immediately frowned and pressed for details about what happened back then.

Nezha didn't hide anything, confirming that the 100,000 heavenly soldiers who besieged Flower Fruit Mountain back then were deliberately instructed by Buddha and the Jade Emperor to let them go.

The entire incident of the havoc in Heaven should be largely consistent with Beaker's speculation.

The monkey, enraged, gritted its teeth and said:

"What Great Sage Equal to Heaven? I, Old Sun, am now the Great Sage Riding the Heavens! Prepare to die!"

With a roar, the baton lashed out again.
By this time, the orientations of the other golden stupas had already changed.

It turns out that Tang Xuanci took the lead in using the Peacock Princess, who had been captured at Mount Ling and later persuaded by him, to lure the Golden-Winged Roc into a trap and break through the defenses guarded by the Buddha Mother Peacock King Bodhisattva.

He then joined forces with General Zhu Wuneng to launch a pincer attack, inflicting heavy losses on other monks and Buddhas, directly destroying ten golden pagodas, beheading Manjushri and Samantabhadra, killing four hundred Arhats, and countless monks.

They also captured: Vajra Indestructible Buddha, Peacock King Bodhisattva, Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, and many Arhat monks who once belonged to the Golden Cicada faction.

Upon hearing that the monkey was still fighting with Nezha, Tang Xuanci immediately sent his beloved concubine, Shushu, to the scene. He asked her to explain to Nezha the reason that Buddhism had already lost and to appeal to his brotherly and sisterly feelings, so as to persuade Nezha to surrender.

When Nezha saw that his childhood playmate had become a married man and transformed into the form of an enemy, he showed no emotion. He only said:
"The Buddha has shown me a life-saving grace, which I must repay. Besides, Buddhism is not yet in dire straits; how can we easily admit defeat?"

After saying this, he intended to end the war and lead his troops to retreat into the pagoda.

The monkey worked tirelessly all night, and although it was somewhat exhausted, it refused to rest and shouted:
"Trying to run? After another hundred rounds, I, Old Sun, will surely take your life!"

As they spoke, they continued their relentless fight, determined to determine who was superior and settle the score with a fight to the death.

At this time, Tang Xuanci had already heard that Buddha had withdrawn from Changzhou. Fearing that any further delay would lead to annihilation, he hurriedly ordered the three armies to immediately retreat tactically.

He then personally called the Monkey King's Heavenly General, and only then was he able to persuade the monkey to stop.

So the independence army, seeing that they had gained an advantage, quickly retreated back to sea with their prisoners and spoils.

……

Nezha was absolutely right.

Although the Buddhist sect suffered a major defeat and retreated entirely to the Black Continent, they suffered heavy losses.

However, the Taoist sect and the Heavenly Court were also severely weakened.

Especially in Taoism, the casualty rate was no lower than that in Buddhism; the Three Pure Ones were reduced to the Second Pure One.

Upon witnessing the death and dissipation of their ancestor, the entire Yuqing lineage was filled with sorrow and grief. Many disciples, though they hated the Buddha, also harbored resentment towards Laozi and were unwilling to obey his commands.

Both Laozi and Lingbao Tianzun were seriously injured and became increasingly cautious in their actions.

Then, another unexpected event occurred.

For some reason, the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens Thunder God suddenly became known to the Buddhist sect. The Buddha himself led all the Buddhas in a surprise attack, causing this renowned Thunder God to perish.

Upon hearing this tragic news, the immortals and deities of the Pure Stream Sect in Heaven were all deeply grieved, as if they had lost their own parents.

Many people felt that something was amiss, or that the Jade Emperor was involved, and they voiced their indignation, demanding a thorough investigation.

As a result, the campaign to completely eradicate Buddhism in one fell swoop gradually faltered.

Even a starved Kunkun is bigger than a chicken; even if Tathagata is injured and his faith power is depleted by more than 60%, his combat power is still ridiculously strong.

Without the Heavenly Court and the Daoist sect leading the charge, other forces naturally dared not fight to the death. Tang Xuanci calculated that Tathagata would not be able to recover in a short time, so he was satisfied and remained silent.

……

After the war against Buddhism.

Both Buddhism and Taoism fell into silence, while the Jade Emperor began to make great strides in the Heavenly Court.

First, disregarding opposition, he forcibly appointed Zhang Daoling, one of the Four Celestial Masters, to take charge of the Thunder Department;
He then began to use various means to suppress Qingliu and Daoist celestial beings who were dissatisfied with him.

His influence in the Heavenly Court is growing day by day, and he is already showing the same stature as Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty.

Looking back over thousands of years, perhaps no one could have imagined that this person, born as a Taoist novice and once banished to the mortal realm for "trials," would ascend to the throne simply because he appeared harmless and easy to control, his status hardly better than that of Emperor Xian of the late Han Dynasty—

Xiao Zhang.

He managed to survive and endure at a Naruto-level, with connections that made him a cuckold, and a truly formidable ability to maintain balance, step by step, he rose to where he is today, almost becoming a true legend.

Jade Emperor, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable, the High God of the Mysterious Vault!

Wow, that's so inspiring.

Even Tang Xuanci, upon hearing this, couldn't help but have Beaker immediately write a book titled "From a Pale-faced Child to the Jade Emperor" and post it online to smear him.

……

Meanwhile, Tang Xuanci brought the Buddhist prisoners who had been on good terms with Jin Chan back to Xiniu Hezhou, intending to persuade them to surrender.

But they remained loyal to Buddhism.

Even the Buddha Mother, who had once harbored a slight crush on Jin Chanzi, showed no kindness to Tang Xuanci. Instead, she angrily rebuked him for defiling the name of Jin Chanzi, claiming that he kept shouting about saving all living beings but had no compassion in his heart, and that he was a heinous criminal who harmed living beings.

And she was shameless too. She actually used sweet words and her beauty to deceive and seduce her daughter, turning her into a depraved person!
Other monks, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas also had clear attitudes and firm stances, which were even more difficult to shake than those of Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

However, Tang Xuanci realized that they did not believe in the Tathagata, but rather in the Buddhist ideals and essentials that the Tathagata founded and that were perfected by the Medicine Buddha, Amitabha, Jin Chanzi, and other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

But this... may not be Buddha's ideal.

Tang Xuanci neither tortured them nor killed them. Instead, he treated them with courtesy and personally arranged for them to travel to Azhou.

Compared to two and a half years ago, this place has been completely transformed.

Especially Mo Shengdu, a super city that combines cyberpunk and cultivation styles, could be ranked among the top ten cities in the world even if it were located on Tang Xuanci's home planet in the early 21st century.

The residents here all have air conditioning in their homes and eat meat at every meal;
Residents here receive free medical care, and even those who unfortunately contract the super cap Ebola virus can receive free treatment.

The residents here, whether poor or rich, can receive a good education;
……

Here, bullet trains are fast, internet fees are low, and you can love a billion people in your lifetime.

Upon seeing this scene, although Tang Xuanci did not mention Heizhou at all, the monks and Buddhists could not help but compare it with the lives of the little black people, and most of them fell silent.

However, the Vajra-indestructible Buddha and the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha, who possess profound Buddhist teachings, disagreed.

They knew that Tang Xuanci did this on purpose.

Therefore, with his discerning eye, he directly pointed out that the capital city of Mo was filled with resentment, separation from loved ones, unfulfilled desires, and the intense burning of the five aggregates.

Beneath the facade of prosperity, all kinds of suffering only intensify.

Only the Buddha's teachings can save one.

Goodness, even the beaker is a bit stunned by this, not knowing how to refute it.

This is precisely what makes the Buddha so terrifying.

If the Poisonous Enemy Sect's creation in the Women's Kingdom was easily defeated, then the Buddha's Dharma was simply impeccable.

The worldview, philosophy of life, and values ​​he created are all exquisite, comprehensive, unfalsifiable, and even largely in line with the truth of the universe.

Let alone in the Three Realms where gods and Buddhas fill the heavens, even if you turned him into a mortal without any magical powers and threw him into a purely technological civilization like Tang Xuanci's home planet.

He can still convert hundreds of millions of people into believers.
