Chapter 291 The Ancestral Witches won't just come along and wipe you out too, will they?!
Three days later
The primordial world quickly returned to calm.
The ancestral witches came and went quickly, and Xiniu Hezhou was officially incorporated into the human realm.
The underworld immediately dispatched personnel to be stationed there to assist with the reconstruction work.
That means they've officially taken over!
News of the Buddhist sect's destruction also spread rapidly throughout the prehistoric world through the powerful beings who had previously witnessed the battle.
Amidst the shock, the majority of people felt... fortunate.
Fortunately, the calamity caused by the resentment towards Buddha was eliminated, and fortunately, the underworld intervened in time to suppress the evil spirits.
Unlike the peaceful scene on Earth, the current Heavenly Dao faction...
The Heavenly Court remained closed, Nuwa sat quietly in the Nuwa Palace, and Erqing remained secluded.
Hongjun didn't comment either, choosing to handle the situation quietly.
Just pretend nothing happened.
But everyone knows that the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the primordial world completely changed starting with the destruction of Buddhism by the Underworld!
The Underworld reigns supreme, and the thirteen Ancestral Witches are awe-inspiring throughout the prim
Humanity's fortunes are at their zenith, and the human race's territory is expanding once again.
The unification of the primordial land in the future is just a matter of a single thought for the ancestral witches!
......
The Underworld, the Hall of Peaceful Mind.
The ancestral witches toasted each other, creating a very lively atmosphere.
"Although the fight wasn't very satisfying, I felt great inside!"
Gonggong poured a jar of Netherworld Wine down his throat.
"After giving in for so many years, I'm finally at peace!"
"But what about Hongjun..."
Dijiang looked towards Tianqi.
"Will he retaliate?"
"Revenge?! No rush, wait until the Journey to the West is over."
He can play however he wants, and we'll play along!
Apocalypse shook his head with great confidence.
"Moreover, this time the power of the resentful Buddha was given to Zhunti and the other two by him, so he was in the wrong first."
If he chooses to act now, he will be making an enemy of the entire prehistoric world.
Hongjun isn't stupid; he's very shrewd!
After Tianqi finished speaking, he raised his glass again and said:
"My brothers, the destruction of the Buddhist sect founded by Zhunti and his brother is only the beginning."
"When the time is right, we'll have a proper talk with Hongjun!"
"Well said!" All the ancestral witches raised their cups in unison.
Outside the hall, the Wheel of Reincarnation slowly rotates, bringing peace to the Nine Netherworlds and ensuring the orderly cycle of reincarnation.
Inside the hall, the laughter of the thirteen ancestral witches echoed far and wide throughout the underworld.
......
On the outskirts of Lingshan, inside an abandoned ancient temple.
This is the temporary stop for the westward-bound team.
Three days ago, Sun Wukong, who had been rescued by Tongtian, stood side by side with Chen Dali.
Gazing into the distance at the thirteen primordial auras soaring into the sky from the direction of Mount Ling, and at the gradually collapsing Buddhist holy site.
The gray-black aura of the resentful Buddha's power and the power of the Ancestral Witches only collided briefly.
The road ahead of the group suddenly became bright.
"Wukong, tell me... was the fall of Buddhism a good thing or a bad thing?"
Chen Dali frowned and asked softly.
In these days, he has witnessed how the power of resentment towards Buddhism erodes living beings, and the filth beneath the glamorous exterior of Buddhism...
But deep in his subconscious, there was still a strange sense of forgiveness.
I can't quite describe the feeling; it's just very strange.
Therefore, he needs to seek confirmation from Wukong to strengthen his belief!
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong pondered carefully and then said:
"Dali, the one who is wrong is not the Buddha, but the person who uses the Buddha."
Just like a knife, it's a kitchen utensil when used to cut vegetables, and a murder weapon when used to kill someone.
The Buddha's teachings are a knife, and so is resenting the Buddha; only, the knife of resenting the Buddha is far more wicked and far sharper.
It hurts not only others but also itself, so it needs to be destroyed!
As for the remaining one, that depends on who uses it and how they use it!
Chen Dali pondered silently for a moment, then nodded:
"You're right! I understand!"
So...we need a good knife from now on.
Before the two finished their conversation, a golden light suddenly appeared on the western horizon.
The golden light was initially faint, like a star, but it quickly magnified and was already in front of the two of them in the blink of an eye.
This mark is the very swastika Buddhist seal that flew away from the ruins of Lingshan!
The Buddha seal hovered in front of the two, slowly rotating and casting a gentle Buddha light.
The Buddha's light was extremely pure, compassionate, and vast.
This is completely different from the filthy, resentful power of the Buddha from the previous Ling Mountain.
It was even different from the Buddhist light emanating from Zhunti and Jieyin.
This Buddha light is even purer, like that of a newborn baby!
"This is..." Chen Dali looked surprised.
"The last remaining mark of the Buddhist tradition."
Sun Wukong stared at the Buddha seal without the slightest panic.
From the moment this mark appeared, the sacred Buddhist power within his body began to circulate spontaneously.
At this moment, the power within him resonated even more strongly with the Buddhist seal before him.
Suddenly, he realized something:
"It is... choosing a successor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddha Seal suddenly fell.
It pierced straight into Sun Wukong's brow!
"Wukong!"
Chen Dali was shocked to see this.
Upon hearing the noise, the others quickly came to the two to see what was going on.
Although Chen Dali was very startled
But Sun Wukong did not actually feel any pain; instead, his body was filled with an unprecedented golden Buddhist light!
Within that Buddha's light, the faint image of a golden monkey could be seen sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform.
With a monkey's face and a Buddha's heart, it is both unruly and compassionate, both violent and serene.
This illusory image represents Sun Wukong in an intermediate state between Taoism and Buddhism.
It possesses both the heart of Tao and the nature of Buddha!
"Om Mani Padme Hum"
Then the six-syllable mantra was uttered from Sun Wukong's mouth.
It is not chanting, but the natural "sound of the Tao".
With each word he uttered, the Buddhist light around him surged, and his aura rose a level!
He instantly broke through the peak of the Great Luo realm!
Quasi-Saint stage... mid-stage... late-stage... peak!
In just ten breaths, Sun Wukong, relying on the legacy of Buddhism, broke through from the peak of the Great Luo realm all the way to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
Moreover, this is for a Quasi-Saint peak who doesn't need to sever the Three Corpses.
This is equivalent to the entire Buddhist community supporting Wukong alone!
Even more remarkably, the Buddha seal contained not only power, but also a complete Buddhist lineage—
From the most fundamental truths of Buddhism to the most profound supernatural powers of the Buddha, and then to the true accumulation of wisdom since the founding of Buddhism...
All the essence of Buddhism poured into Sun Wukong's consciousness!
"I see..." This process of receiving the light didn't last long. Sun Wukong then withdrew the golden light and opened his eyes, which were filled with golden Buddhist light.
"The Buddha is not an image to be worshipped, nor is it a scripture to be recited..."
Buddha is the "Awakened One," someone who has awakened to the truth and is self-aware and enlightened.
A true Buddhist monastery should be a place where people can understand their own minds and nature, and become self-reliant and strong.
Instead of a cage that makes people dependent and prone to addiction.
He looked at his hand, and a golden swastika symbol appeared on his palm.
"Now, I am the only true Buddha in this world!"
It's the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Buddha!
Sun Wukong grinned, his smile still carrying the arrogance of a monkey, yet also a hint of Buddhist compassion.
Chen Dali and Zhu Ganglie, who had previously hesitated to act, were utterly shocked by what they saw.
I was also a little nervous:
The Ancestral Witches just destroyed Buddhism, and you, Wukong, have already become a Buddha...?!
The Ancestral Witches wouldn't happen to come along and wipe you out too, would they?!
