Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 221 The Sequel to Journey to the West, Buddha Wutian

A primordial world!!

Time passed slowly.

The four members of the Tang Monk's group successfully arrived at the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling in Xiniu Hezhou, where they met the Buddha and obtained the true scriptures.

To some extent, the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is simply a process, something that all the gods and Buddhas in the world are aware of.

So it's not a difficult thing.

After obtaining the scriptures, Tang Sanzang and his companions returned to the Tang Dynasty, thus completing their mission.

Xiniu Hezhou.

This is Buddhist territory, and almost every inch of this land contains the power of Buddhism. Unlike other continents, everything in Xiniuhe Prefecture is filled with the power of Buddhism.

To some extent, Buddha-nature should be a place of peace and tranquility, but in the eyes of gods and immortals, Buddha-nature is not a healing power.

Like demonic nature, it possesses the power to bewitch people.

Objectively speaking, this is indeed a fact, and from the perspective of Buddhist doctrine, the saying "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" suggests there's something more to it than meets the eye.

The reason why those evil people were able to convert to Buddhism so quickly is largely due to the power of Buddha-nature.

From the perspective of power, there is no difference between Buddha-nature and demon-nature. If we were to use power to distinguish between good and evil, then there would be no good person in the primordial world.

The only correct way to distinguish them is from the user's perspective. Both Buddhism and salvation are similar and both have the effect of distorting people's minds.

Several hundred years have passed since the Journey to the West.

Sun Wukong also transformed from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven into the Victorious Fighting Buddha, a protector of Buddhism.

Tang Sanzang also regained his power as the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, an ancient and primordial species, a creature born with an incomparably ferocious nature.

However, due to multiple reincarnations, although Tang Sanzang regained his power, he was no longer as ferocious as the Six-Winged Golden Cicada he once was.

Chaos Island!

Di Fang looked towards the western land: "It's about to begin."

Then, their attention turned to a Kinnara in Buddhism. Kinnara is just a title in Buddhism, not referring to a specific person.

This Kinnara is none other than Wutian.

Just like in the original history, Wutian preached in the land of the Brahmins in Xiniuhezhou in order to complete the task set by the Buddha.

As a result, he was not only framed by the elder of the Brahmins, but also expelled from Mount Ling by the Buddhas of Mount Ling. Afterwards, he harbored resentment and evil thoughts.

At this moment, Yi Qiao discovered the existence of the Demon Realm.

It is said that every sip and every bite is preordained, so Wutian directly sent his primordial spirit into the Demon Realm, which just happened to gain the approval of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The primordial spirit combined with the world-destroying black lotus to form the primordial spirit black lotus, an invisible inner demon.

As long as the Black Lotus remains, Wutian will not truly die, and anyone with evil intentions can become nourishment for the Black Lotus.

"Amitabha!!" Zhunti chanted a Buddhist prayer, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Wutian.

Buddhism had just begun to flourish, and as Buddhist saints, Zhunti and Jieyin naturally knew of the great calamity that Buddhism was about to face, but they had no way to intervene.

Other sages wouldn't act while watching Zhunti and Jieyin.

If Zhunti and Jieyin were to make their move, then the Three Pure Ones would have to settle scores with you. You should know that Tongtian was the most miserable one in the Investiture of the Gods.

The primordial spirit also lost its own skin and has been looking for a suitable opportunity.

If Zhunti and Jieyin were to make their move at this moment, it would perfectly align with the Three Pure Ones' intentions.

As long as Zhunti and Jieyin lend a hand, the Three Pure Ones wouldn't mind helping the Demon Realm.

Don't think the Demon Realm is so great. In the eyes of a sage, the Demon Race is no different from other primordial races and can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

There is absolutely no such thing as raising a tiger to cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful the demon race is, as long as no saint is born, they are nothing more than beings that can be destroyed in a single thought in the eyes of a saint.

There is absolutely no truth to the claim that the Demon Realm has become powerful; that's simply not true.

"Junior brother, this calamity is inevitable for Buddhism." Jieyin said with a bitter expression. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Buddhism.

This happened only a few hundred years after the Journey to the West, and the Buddhist world had only flourished for a few hundred years before the demon realm emerged.

However, if we consider the timeline, the Demon Realm should indeed have been born by now; its birth occurred before Hongjun became a saint.

The fact that Rahu transformed into the Demon Realm signifies that the Great Calamity of Dragon and Phoenix had just ended, and several great calamities have passed since then.

It can only be said that the emergence of the demon realm at this time was the will of heaven.

The reason why I just said this is both a good thing and a bad thing for Buddhism is very simple.

The good thing is that if the demon realm were to emerge, it would be a great boost to the prestige of Buddhism.

The bad news is that Buddhism will likely suffer heavy losses this time, and this is no joke. The emergence of the demon realm is not just limited to Wutian.

Wutian is merely a vanguard of the demon realm; the true seventy-two primordial demons have not yet emerged.

When that time comes, the demon realm will truly be born.

It's quite simple that Zhunti's eyes held murderous intent.

Wutian's actions have harmed the interests of Buddhism, so Zhunti naturally wants to get rid of him. However, a sage cannot interfere in matters of the primordial world at present.

The consequences of taking action are unknown.

Let's set aside whether Hongjun will punish Zhunti.

The Three Pure Ones would not let this opportunity to kick someone when they're down pass by.

After all, in a sense, the winners of the Investiture of the Gods were Buddhism and the Heavenly Court; even Lao Tzu was outmaneuvered.

It would be a miracle if the Three Pure Ones could hold back.

Therefore, neither Zhunti nor Jieyin dared to make a mistake.

Otherwise, in the end, it will be them and Buddhism that suffer.

On Wutian's side, after his primordial spirit merged with the Black Lotus of Annihilation, Wutian became a quasi-saint, and because of the Black Lotus of Annihilation, Wutian's strength greatly increased.

He is not an ordinary quasi-saint. Because of the Black Lotus of Annihilation, Wutian can absorb all the evil thoughts in the world to strengthen himself. Moreover, in order to ensure that he is not affected by the Buddha nature, he has also absorbed all the evil thoughts in the world to strengthen himself.

Wutian directly imprisoned his own good thoughts and good corpse within the Black Lotus of Annihilation.

With his strength surging, Wutian stormed up Mount Ling. Without further ado, he just got straight to the point.

Boundless demonic power rose across the primordial western lands.

The Buddha-nature that originally existed in the western lands was completely suppressed, and inch by inch, the Buddha-nature was annihilated, turning into a profound and terrifying demonic nature.

The power of demons clashed with the power of Buddha in the primordial western land.

The primordial chaos trembled.

Countless powerful beings looked toward the direction of Xiniu Hezhou.

The land that originally contained Buddha-nature is now seeing its Buddha-nature fade and disappear, replaced by boundless demonic nature.

Many powerful beings stared in disbelief at this scene, wondering which peerless expert had caused the last calamity in the western part of the prehistoric lands.

It was all thanks to Nuwa's intervention.

Who is it now?

It's important to understand that in the primordial world, although sages cannot directly intervene, it doesn't mean you can act recklessly.

That's just courting death.

In the primordial world, the greatest beings have always been saints.

Moreover, the Buddhist sect has two saints presiding over it, which is no joke.

Is it really a good idea to attack Ling Mountain like this?
