Chapter 485: Chapter 485

The Buddhist Lotus, black as ink, slowly bloomed to reveal a man with black hair and a black robe within it.

Daoist Wang Yang’s eyes slightly narrowed.

"I’m surprised you know me, Daoist Wang Yang. It truly astonishes me!"

Wutian looked at Wang Yang, somewhat surprised.

"I wonder what matter brings Daoist Wutian to seek me?"

Wang Yang waved his hand, shielding the celestial secrets of the place.

"Wang Yang, I know what you did during the last Calamity of Measurement. Now, I sense that the Tathagata has reincarnated, and the time for my Demonic Calamity, controlled by Wutian, has arrived!"

Wutian spoke slowly, after all, sitting for a full thirty-three years, as this ebb and flow would make Demon Ancestor Wutian the next Buddha Ancestor Wutian.

Wang Yang had already guessed that this might be the reason they were sought after when he saw the other party, and indeed, the first words spoken were about this.

But with an imminent great calamity in the Three Realms, the saints who had incarnated had long set aside the planned Demonic Calamity under Wutian. Even in the clearing plans, Wutian was included, unaware of these developments while fantasizing about ruling over Mount Meru for thirty-three years and overturning the Three Realms.

"Daoist Wutian, do you know that the saints have descended to the lower realm? Zhun Ti and Jieyin, the Two Sages, are currently at Mount Meru. With the Two Sages present, how great do you think your chances of succeeding with your Demonic Calamity are?"

Wang Yang pondered for a long time before deciding to shatter Wutian’s illusion.

He also disliked Buddhism, but to some extent, both could potentially become allies.

"Fellow Daoist, my Demonic Calamity was decreed by a saint, and approved by the Heavenly Dao. This is the great trend of the Three Realms. How do the Two Sages descending matter? They still cannot bear such karma."

Wutian did not take Zhun Ti and Jieyin seriously, for it was something both had agreed upon.

As Wutian said, rashly altering the Demonic Calamity would be too great a karma for even two saints to bear.

"Now that a great calamity is imminent in the Three Realms, I advise you to postpone the matter of the Demonic Calamity. Soon, a battle might erupt across Jambudvipa involving various sects. By then, it would be more convenient for you to initiate your Demonic Calamity."

"Now that Tathagata has reincarnated, it is a time of great caution for Mount Meru. If you rashly initiate the Demonic Calamity, even if successful, you may find it unprofitable."

Though Wang Yang knew that persuading would likely be in vain, he still didn’t give up.

"Enough, there’s no need to mention it further. The saints descend to the realm, yet they will not exert their full strength. Rest assured, I have methods to handle the two incarnations. Meeting with you this time was merely to make you aware!"

"This time presents the best opportunity for me to confront Buddhism. I know you do not favor Buddhism either. We might possibly join forces. However, you may want to think it over whether or not you wish to align,"

Having said that, Wutian bowed to Wang Yang and then turned and left directly.

Wang Yang watched as Wutian transformed into a black mist and disappeared into the distance, his feelings conflicted.

From his perspective, he undoubtedly considered what Wutian thought.

But in Wutian’s view, with only thirty-three years, Wang Yang’s suggestion to delay it was undoubtedly

aimed at ensuring that the Demon Clan could never rise again.

In such a situation, there was nothing Wang Yang could do.

Wang Yang returned to Chang’an, not particularly concerned with Wutian, but he still relayed a message to him.

After all, compared to Buddhism, Wutian was much purer.

Xuanzang preached Buddhist teachings for seven days in the Buddhist temple.

After seven days, thousands of monks under his direction, mostly followers of Western Buddhism, now had shifted to disciple under Xuanzang, becoming disciples of the new Buddhist sect.

"I have finished establishing the teaching, so I must be going now."

"In the future, you may send disciples throughout the Southern Continent Jambudvipa to preach Buddhism without obstruction."

Xuanzang and Wang Yang had a conversation inside the Buddhist temple.

"Sun Wukong shares a teacher-disciple bond with you and bears significant karma; he will certainly Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories."

Xuanzang knew that all this was arranged by Wang Yang, and he was naturally immensely grateful.

"You and I had a connection several lifetimes ago, so there’s no need for thanks."

Wang Yang was ready to leave. His purpose in Chang’an was to protect Xuanzang, and now that the new sect was established and established further in Southern Continent Jambudvipa, his task was finished.

He was ready to leave.

Wang Yang returned to Mount Huaguo, about to seek out the True Body of Sun Wukong, when suddenly, the surrounding area began to condense with Yin Qi.

A voice came from behind him.

Wang Yang turned to see an Underworld Envoy.

"What is it, you want to hook my soul?"

Wang Yang looked somewhat oddly at the Underworld Envoy; they had tried to take Sun Wukong before, and now they wanted to take him?

"Of course not. It is Ksitigarbha Pusa who wishes to have a word with you. Please, do not refuse!"

Wang Yang was startled, then nodded.

Wang Yang followed the Underworld Envoy toward the Underworld.

Before long, he saw the pitch-black sky.

Moments later, near the Blood River, the Underworld Envoy stopped proceeding.

Wang Yang glanced at the Underworld Envoy and continued walking forward, soon spotting a figure

It was a monk robed in white.

"Finding you this time was somewhat sudden!"

The white-robed monk turned to Wang Yang and smiled.

This monk was none other than Ksitigarbha Pusa, left to oversee the Underworld by Buddhism.

Speaking of Ksitigarbha Pusa, Wang Yang couldn’t help but think of Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra—three Bodhisattvas.

The entire Western Buddhist Sect is led by Buddha.

But the most representative among the Bodhisattvas are these four.

Moreover, Ksitigarbha Pusa, having made a grand vow of "I won’t attain Buddhahood until the Hells are emptied," attained a Golden Body and always dwelled in the Underworld.

Now, with Ksitigarbha Pusa himself inviting, Wang Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.
