In this primordial world, this Hongyun is too cowardly!

Chapter 219 The Journey to the West Comes to a Perfect End, Merit Descends!

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples went directly into the Great Thunder Temple.

At this moment, in the magnificent hall, numerous Buddhist bodhisattvas and Buddhas have all gathered.

Everyone's expressions were fixed on Tang Sanzang and his companions as they slowly entered the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The moment has finally arrived!

The calamity of the Journey to the West has reached its most critical moment.

Once the final tribulation is overcome, the Journey to the West tribulation will be perfectly concluded.

The fortune and merit of the entire Journey to the West will descend, and their fortune in the West will surge at this moment.

Not only the Buddhas of the West, but also the many immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court and the many powerful beings of the Primordial World were all focused on this place.

Because they also knew very well that the tribulations of the Journey to the West were about to end.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples were also very happy.

Because they had finally reached their final destination.

"Congratulations to you, Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing."

"You have endured countless tribulations, cleansed your souls, and finally arrived at my Great Thunderclap Temple."

"You will receive the supreme Mahayana Buddhism of my Great Thunderclap Temple, which will spread throughout the Eastern Land."

At this moment, at the very top of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Buddha Tathagata was also looking at Tang Sanzang and his disciples with a smile.

"Thank you, Buddha!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang and his companions looked at the Buddha with smiles on their faces.

Many Buddhist masters nodded slightly at this moment, all with smiles on their faces.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang and his companions directly obtained the Mahayana Buddhist teachings from the Western Paradise.

Immediately afterwards, the Buddha bestowed titles upon the four disciples, making them Buddhist disciples and granting them the title of eminent monks.

Soon after, Tang Sanzang and his companions, carrying the Mahayana Buddhist teachings, happily took their leave and began their journey back to the Eastern Land.

As Tang Sanzang and his companions departed, the Buddhas of Buddhism and the many immortals and gods of Heaven also watched them leave.

They knew very well that this final calamity was yet to come!

The Journey to the West is filled with eighty-one tribulations!

They have only survived eighty tribulations so far, and there is still one last tribulation to go.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang and his disciples left the Great Thunder Temple and headed back to the eastern land.

Throughout the journey, the four of them were overjoyed, because everything was finally over.

The return journey was swift, and the four of them soon arrived at a region called Tongtian River.

This Tongtian River is an endlessly wide river.

The current is so strong that it's usually impossible to cross.

At this moment, a thousand-year-old tortoise also appeared on the banks of the Tongtian River, looking at Tang Sanzang and his disciples with a smile on its face.

"Young monks, you have finally completed your journey to the West to obtain the scriptures! Congratulations!"

The ancient tortoise chuckled and said to Tang Sanzang and his companions, "This Tongtian River is incredibly vast and wide; I'll let you cross!"

"In that case, thank you very much, senior!"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong was overjoyed.

They remembered that when they crossed the Tongtian River, it was this old turtle that helped them cross. They never expected to encounter this old turtle again.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and immediately sat on the old ghost's back.

When they reached the middle of the Tongtian River, the old tortoise's eyes flashed with a strange light.

He then asked the question he had asked back then.

"Old Ghost's lifespan!?"

Upon hearing this, the four of them were taken aback, and then seemed to realize something, all showing an embarrassed expression.

I remember there was such a thing. When the four of them, master and disciples, were crossing the river, the old turtle once said that if they really reached the Great Thunder Temple, they should ask him how much life he had left.

However, when they entered the Great Thunderclap Temple, they were so excited that they had completely forgotten about this matter.

"Didn't any of the junior monks ask for me?!"

The ancient tortoise's tone turned somewhat angry.

"Old tortoise, why do you know so much about lifespan?"

"Knowing too much is actually a bad thing!"

Pigsy's eyes darted around, and he said with an awkward smile.

Rumble!

Upon hearing this, the thousand-year-old tortoise exuded a terrifying aura, and its entire body trembled.

Immediately, the entire Tongtian River became unusually turbulent.

The four disciples, who were sitting on the turtle's back, were thrown into the river, along with the Mahayana Buddhist teachings they had brought back.

Upon seeing this, the four disciples' expressions changed, and they immediately began to salvage the scriptures.

When the scriptures were retrieved from the river, Tang Sanzang and his companions were stunned.

"The scriptures are blank!"

Sun Wukong was stunned and said in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang and his companions were slightly taken aback and began to peruse the remaining scriptures.

Unsurprisingly, the entire scripture was blank.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that this final tribulation was actually in the Tongtian River.

After the four disciples had figured things out, a Buddha's light shone brightly in the sky, and a figure slowly emerged.

"After eighty kalpas, it will finally be perfect."

"This ordeal of the Journey to the West has only just ended!"

Zhunti's figure slowly emerged, and then with a wave of his hand, an auspicious cloud appeared, carrying the four of them, along with the white dragon, directly towards the Great Thunderclap Temple in the west.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the west, at the Great Thunder Temple.

Tang Sanzang and his three disciples returned to this place once again.

Upon returning here, one would find that all the Buddhist monks who had been absent were now present.

"Tang Sanzang, after enduring countless tribulations on his journey to the West, has finally achieved his goal."

"Only this time have you truly shed your mortal state and attained Buddhahood."

The voice of the Buddha instantly resounded throughout the entire Great Thunder Temple.

Rumble!

At that very moment, a terrifying buzzing sound emanated from the entire world, and the calamity energy permeating the void vanished completely.

Instead, from the heavens above, a dark yellow power of merit surged directly into the void.

At this moment, endless and vast auspicious clouds of merit floated above the Great Thunderclap Temple in the west.

The calamities of the Journey to the West have ended, and the blessings of Heaven have descended.

hum!

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao Merit split into countless forms, heading directly towards countless regions between heaven and earth.

The many immortals and gods who had previously experienced calamities all gained a great deal of Heavenly Dao merit, and their strength increased as a result.

These merits only account for one-tenth of the merits of the Heavenly Way.

The remaining nine parts of merit were divided into three, with one part going directly to the Heavenly Court in the Nine Heavens.

Rumble!

With the blessing of this Heavenly Merit, the fortune of the entire Heavenly Court surged instantly, and even Haotian's strength was greatly enhanced as a result.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Court received one-third of the spoils during the Journey to the West calamity.

Haotian naturally nodded in agreement.

If he didn't possess so much merit, how could Buddhism possibly expect him to be so obedient and supportive of the eastward transmission of Buddhism?!

Boom! Boom!

Then, of the remaining two merits, one fell directly into the fortunes of Western Buddhism.

With the influx of these merits, the overall fortune of Buddhism soared, and golden dragons of fortune roamed the heavens and the void, bringing the overall momentum of Buddhism to its peak.

At this moment, all living beings in heaven and earth learned that in the endless western land, there was a supreme religion, Buddhism.

At this moment, Buddhism finally resounded throughout the entire primordial land.

The remaining merit was directly divided into five parts, which fell into the hands of Tang Sanzang and his disciples, the four of them and their horse.

Rumble!

With the accumulation of these merits, Sha Wujing, whose strength was only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, began to experience a tremendous surge in power.

In just a few breaths, he broke through to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Immediately afterward, he broke through again and successfully proved himself to become a powerful being at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Upon witnessing this scene, all the Buddhas of the West showed a hint of shock on their faces.

"Even Sha Wujing was able to accumulate so much merit, propelling his strength to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The luck in this Journey to the West seems a bit excessive!"

A Bodhisattva of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is getting a little jealous.

This calamity in the Journey to the West is not considered large compared to the great calamities of the ancient times, such as the calamities of the witches and demons and the Investiture of the Gods; it can only be considered a minor calamity.

However, the amount of good fortune that this traveler gained on his journey to the West was truly beyond his expectations.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

This applies not only to this Bodhisattva, but also to other deities and Buddhas.

Rumble!

The next moment, Zhu Bajie's body also changed, and his strength broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He was even stronger than Sha Wujing, directly breaking through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Two Great Immortals!

Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie were able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so what about Sun Wukong?!

Immediately, everyone's gaze fell upon Sun Wukong's body.

All that could be seen was that streams of merit power emanated from Sun Wukong's body, a powerful and surging force spreading outwards.

In the void, powerful pressure was condensing, as if an unparalleled expert was about to be born.

"this……"

"Could this be a breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint realm?!"

Upon seeing this, all the Buddhas of the West were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Quasi-Saint Realm!

This is a powerful figure who is less than one in the entire Buddhist community. How could Sun Wukong have such good fortune?

From birth to now, only a short thousand years have passed, yet he is about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

This……

Many powerful figures in Buddhism were stunned.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a terrifying aura emanated directly from Sun Wukong's figure, and an extreme pressure descended upon the primordial land.

Under this oppressive force, countless living beings in the world felt a sense of unease.

Throughout the primordial land, many powerful beings turned their gaze toward the sacred mountain.

Buddhism has gained another quasi-saint!

Upon seeing this, many powerful figures in Buddhism also became respectful.

A genuine quasi-saint, a figure of extraordinary stature in their Buddhism.

From this day forward, Sun Wukong's status will surpass that of the vast majority of people present.

When the Buddha saw this, he smiled and nodded.

Sun Wukong possessed exceptional talent, being the last innate deity. Under the influence of Heaven's destiny, it was not surprising that he was able to reach this level so quickly.

But at this moment, Buddha's gaze was fixed on Tang Sanzang.

"As my disciple, Jin Chanzi, how far will you ultimately reach?"

Looking at Jin Chanzi at this moment, Buddha Tathagata also spoke in secret.

At the same time, many powerful figures in Buddhism also looked towards Tang Sanzang.

They knew that Tang Sanzang was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.

Before his reincarnation, Jin Chanzi was already a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Now that he has achieved perfect merit and received the blessing of Heaven's fortune, his strength will definitely increase dramatically.

Swish!

At that very moment, Tang Sanzang's face also slowly changed, and Jin Chanzi's original appearance slowly emerged.

"Amitabha!"

Jin Chanzi chanted a Buddhist mantra, and then boundless holy light of merit surged around him, and his figure slowly appeared in the Jade Void.

Buzz!

Streams of merit began to swirl around him and then enter his body.

His strength also began to improve at this moment.

Originally a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he reached the Great Luo Perfection realm in just a short time.

Judging from this momentum, breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level is clearly not a problem.

Seeing this, many powerful figures in the West were secretly pleased.

In other words, this time, the Buddhist sect not only gained two more Great Luo Golden Immortals after completing the Journey to the West tribulation, but also two more Quasi-Saints.

This greatly enhances the strength of their Buddhism!

From this moment forward, Buddhism can be considered the greatest religion in the world.

Even the Jie Sect, with its myriad immortals paying homage, cannot compare to Buddhism.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the endless heavens and earth, and Jin Chanzi, unsurprisingly, broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

However, compared to Sun Wukong, his strength was even more terrifying. With the blessing of the power of merit, he actually broke through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

"Jin Chanzi, you certainly haven't disappointed me!"

The Buddha was also overjoyed at this moment.

Mid-stage Quasi-Saint!

Looking across the entire primordial land, how many people have reached this realm? Apart from the innate gods and demons who existed since the beginning of time, there are very few.

Buzz!

Just when everyone thought it was all over, the golden dragon of Buddhist fortune on Mount Ling began to surge.

A terrifying light of merit emanated, which then transformed into a massive golden dragon that roared over and completely surrounded Jin Chanzi.

boom!

At this moment, Jin Chanzi, whose strength had previously stagnated, began to grow again.

The power of this golden dragon of fortune is immense, more than double the merit that Heaven previously bestowed upon Jin Chanzi.

At this moment, Jin Chanzi's power began to rise again.

Peak mid-stage Quasi-Saint!

Late stage of Quasi-Saint!

Peak of the late stage of Quasi-Saint!

Jin Chanzi's strength has actually reached the peak of the late Quasi-Saint stage!

"Roar~~!"

The Golden Dragon of Merit continued to pour merit into Jin Chanzi, but no matter what, his strength did not continue to increase dramatically.

His body began to change at this moment, seemingly falling into a state of stillness.

After a long while, the golden dragon of merit slowly disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"It's costly to waste seventy percent of Buddhism's fortune, senior brother. Is it worth it?"

High above, Zhunti looked at Jieyin with some heartache and said, "This is seventy percent of the fortune of our Buddhism. We gave it all to Jin Chanzi. If Jin Chanzi cannot break through to that level, our losses will be enormous."

"Jin Chanzi is the greatest hope of Buddhism. The power of merit is gone, but if he can bring forth another powerful being of the living for Buddhism, that would truly be an unparalleled opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin immediately spoke up.

That's right, Jieyin and Zhunti just poured 70% of their Buddhist fortune into Jin Chanzi's body.

What they hope for is that in the future, a Great Immortal of Primordial Chaos will be created for their Buddhism.

If they succeed, Buddhism will truly become the number one religion in the primordial world.

Even if the Three Pure Ones join forces, Buddhism still possesses the strength to put up a fight.

Jieyin and Zhunti, this is a gamble.

They're gambling with the future of Buddhism!
