Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1829 - Lingshan Mountain jumps back and forth

After gathering the elites of Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court, this great army for demon subjugation set off from Mount Ling towards the Infernal Purgatory.

As the most mysterious and terrifying region in the Three Realms, the Infernal Purgatory obviously harbored all sorts of great horrors, and those who survived there were all burdened with great sins, the endless karmic fire even capable of burning through the entire Three Realms.

Any living being absorbed by the Infernal Purgatory would find it difficult to escape this region in their entire life, which also caused it to become a paradise for the Demon Clan.

Long ago, the Western Heaven had attacked the Infernal Purgatory, wanting to eradicate the Demon Clan's power here, but unfortunately, they returned defeated.

Now they had joined forces with the elites of the Heavenly Court, wanting to take this Demon Clan stronghold in one fell swoop.

It was just that perhaps even the Tathagata didn't realize that everything was already within the calculations of Maitreya Buddha and Chu Hao, and his confident attack this time was bound to end in failure.

After Chu Hao led the army away, within the Great Thunderclap Temple, among the Buddhas, a Buddha stood up and said, "Buddha, although the Peacock King of Brightness went to Lion Camel Ridge, he still handed over 100,000 merits of divine water."

As soon as these words came out, a meaningful look flashed in Tathagata's eyes.

The game with the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird had never been about the mere 100,000 merits of divine water, but rather the issue of attitude.

Although the Peacock King of Brightness had provided Mount Ling with 100,000 merits of divine water, in essence, the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird still disrespected Mount Ling.

Although the previous Golden Winged Great Peng Bird acted recklessly in Mount Ling, he still didn't dare to disobey Tathagata in his heart, and his actions were all within the rules of Mount Ling.

But now, he was sending a signal to Mount Ling, a signal of wanting independence.

Although the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird most likely wouldn't openly rebel against Mount Ling, Tathagata wouldn't allow anything that violated the will of Mount Ling to happen.

Not just him, but all the Buddhas were like this.

So after this Buddha said these words, the Buddhas began to discuss it.

"Buddha, this matter still needs to be handled with caution," the Namo Merit Flower Buddha stood up and said.

This Buddha also belonged to one of the Thirty-Five Buddhas, with strong strength and a lofty status.

"What are Merit Flower Buddha's thoughts?" Tathagata asked.

Namo Merit Flower Buddha said seriously: "Although the Green Lion and White Elephant are defeated generals, they have not left Lion Camel Ridge, obviously harboring the intention of making a comeback. We can take advantage of the situation to absorb their combat power and then counterattack Lion Camel Ridge, taking the opportunity to uproot the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird's power."

According to his words, it was just a plan to use tigers to devour wolves.

However, Mount Ling had just spent a great price to let the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird defeat the Green Lion and White Elephant, becoming the king of Lion Camel Ridge and leading the demons. Now they were going to personally destroy him, which was really a bit awkward.

But this was also something that couldn't be helped. Who told the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird to suddenly become ambitious and not listen to Mount Ling?

Moreover, he also had the support of the Peacock King of Brightness behind him, so it was still too difficult to openly attack him.

"But this will cost a lot of gold, silver, treasures, and precious objects," a Buddha said, obviously unwilling.

"Buddha, if we don't suppress the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, Lion Camel Ridge cannot be considered recovered," Namo Merit Flower Buddha explained.

Tathagata was silent.

Doing this kind of thing that lifts a stone to drop it on one's own feet was really a bit difficult.

Seeing this, Namo Merit Flower Buddha continued: "Buddha, the overall situation is more important."

"How is the Journey to the West tribulation?" Tathagata suddenly asked.

Guanyin was not here, but Diting was here. He saluted and said: "Reporting to the Buddha, Tang Sanzang and his disciples are still at Lion Camel Ridge, and although the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird wants to eat them, there has been no movement."

"Hasn't that monkey already escaped?" Tathagata asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know why, but that Sun Wukong has been captured again," Diting said truthfully.

"So we in the Western Heaven still can't take action?" Tathagata said.

"Actually, we can take action, after all, that Sun Wukong has already asked for help before," Diting said his thoughts.

"But in that case, the tribulation will be a bit incomplete," another Buddha said.

Tathagata did not respond. He pinched a Buddha seal with the index finger of his right hand, and the Buddha light around his body shone, a faint Buddha intent spreading out, and two chaotic auras appeared in his eyes, showing vast power.

The Buddhas all closed their eyes and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.

In an instant, Buddhist scriptures filled the sky, vast and fearful, and the entire Great Thunderclap Temple was shrouded in Buddhist sounds, dyed with a layer of golden, sacred light.

In that light, Tathagata's whole body was already covered in layers of golden light, and the overlapping golden light appeared incomparably vast, as if countless worlds gathered together, making his figure become incomparably illusory.

Whoosh—

A breeze blew past, and only the sound of the wind was apparent, only the fearful Buddhist sounds rippling out, and the Buddhas all revealed solemn and respectful expressions.

After a long time, the strange phenomena on Tathagata's body disappeared.

Alas—

A sigh resounded in the hearts of the Buddhas, and they simultaneously opened their eyes, looking at the great and powerful Buddha with surprise.

"The tribulation has not ended, let's continue," Tathagata said indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, it completely set the tone for this discussion.

Namo Merit Flower Buddha slowly saluted: "Respectfully obey the Buddha's decree."

"Respectfully obey the Buddha's decree."

The other Buddhas all responded.

Afterwards, under Tathagata's arrangement, Namo Merit Flower Buddha led a large batch of treasures down to the world.

After he left, Tathagata glanced at the Buddhas and suddenly looked at Namo Water Heaven Buddha and said: "You and Diting go and urge the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird to quickly complete the tribulation."

Namo Water Heaven Buddha and Diting left.

… …

In a mountain range a hundred miles away from Lion Camel Ridge, a vast army of monsters had completely occupied this place, and the living beings who originally lived here had all become food for this group of monsters.

The Green Lion sat in the cave dwelling, with a gloomy expression.

The White Elephant, who was originally with him, was not here at this moment.

In front of him, a great demon was kneeling, the great demon's body trembling, not daring to speak.

"Whoever dares to say another word about leaving, just die," the Green Lion's voice was like thunder, shaking the surroundings.

It turned out that not long ago, the defeated demons of Lion Camel Ridge had also disintegrated internally.

If it weren't for the Green Lion suppressing these guys with ulterior motives with iron-blooded tactics, it was estimated that the entire monster army would have dispersed.

"Yes, Great King," the great demon quickly agreed.

"Go, let the army prepare, we are going to counterattack," the Green Lion said with a deep gaze.

Watching the great demon leave, he looked into the distance, as if he already had a plan in his heart.
