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

#2378 - Xitian is getting anxious

Just as Chu Hao had said, Western Paradise was now in utter chaos and barely able to take care of itself.

First, Western Paradise suffered an attack from the Anti-Western Paradise Alliance formed by the Demon Clan and the Monster Clan, resulting in significant casualties and heavy losses, throwing the sacred land of Mount Ling into chaos.

Then came the Blood Demon Rebellion. Although Western Paradise gained some credit for eliminating the Blood Demon, it also lost many elite Buddhas.

Even the Tathagata Buddha was injured, and many of the big figures in Western Paradise were also wounded. Half of the entire Mount Ling in Western Paradise was occupied by the sick and wounded.

Although Chu Jin later led the Demon Clan and Monster Clan to retreat, Western Paradise was already in a state of chaos.

"Buddha, Western Paradise has lost one-third of its personnel in recent times and urgently needs to replenish manpower."

"The reconstruction of Western Paradise requires significant resources, but our treasury is empty and our financial resources are insufficient. We implore the Buddha to find a solution."

"Many monks in Western Paradise are injured and urgently need healing pills. We beg the Buddha for his grace."

… …

Listening to his subordinates reporting on the situation in Western Paradise, the Tathagata Buddha, already in poor condition due to his injuries, spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.

Western Paradise was the sacred land of Buddhism, known as the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, a powerful force that could rival the Heavenly Court.

But he never expected it to have weakened to this point, which made the Tathagata Buddha feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, Guanyin, who had been in charge of the Journey to the West plan, reported to the Tathagata Buddha.

"Buddha, Tang Sanzang and his disciples have left Diling County and are continuing their journey westward."

"At their current speed, they will likely reach the foot of Mount Ling soon, but our final trial has not yet been arranged."

"We implore the Buddha to decide how to handle this."

Hearing Guanyin's words, the Tathagata Buddha spat out another mouthful of blood.

In fact, compared to the attacks of the Demon Clan and the Monster Clan, and compared to the chaos caused by the Blood Demon, what pained the Tathagata Buddha the most was the matter of Diling County.

In the trial of Diling County, the Tathagata Buddha had taken out the entire fortune of Western Paradise, investing heavily and using the power of ten thousand Buddhas' vows to set up a scheme.

He had originally intended to completely brainwash Tang Sanzang and his disciples in Diling County, turning them into puppets of Western Paradise.

But he never expected to fail. Even with such a scheme, he could not subdue Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Now, even the Tathagata Buddha was somewhat helpless.

Moreover, not only that, Tang Sanzang and his disciples would probably become even more disgusted with Western Paradise because of the Diling County incident, and might even openly oppose Western Paradise.

Then, they would inevitably not cooperate with Western Paradise's actions. If Tang Sanzang and his disciples did not cooperate with Western Paradise, then the entire Journey to the West plan would be completely reversed.

Even if Tang Sanzang and his disciples arrived at Mount Ling, the karma of the Journey to the West before them would only be more unfavorable to Western Paradise.

"We must never let Tang Sanzang and his party reach Mount Ling. We must immediately send someone to delay their progress."

"Before we complete the arrangement of the final trial, we must stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples from heading west at all costs."

"But how can we stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples?"

Guanyin asked the Tathagata Buddha for instructions.

"I don't care. I'm leaving it to you to handle. Whether you use soft or hard tactics, you must prevent Tang Sanzang and his disciples from approaching the land of Mount Ling.

If you can't handle this matter, then don't even think about staying in Western Paradise in the future. Get as far away from me as possible!"

This time, the Tathagata Buddha was truly anxious and issued such a death order to Guanyin.

Guanyin could only agree to the Tathagata Buddha's order.

"Damn Chu Hao, it's all because of you that I have lost all face in front of the Buddha and the people of Western Paradise."

Guanyin was furious and couldn't help but curse Chu Hao.

As the person in charge of the Journey to the West plan, Guanyin was the most aware of the entire plan.

In fact, almost all the variables were on Chu Hao's body. The meticulous arrangement in Diling County was also disrupted because of Chu Hao.

"This time, I must complete the task assigned to me by the Buddha, otherwise I will really have no face to stay in Western Paradise.

Moreover, Chu Hao has embarrassed me many times, and this revenge must be taken!"

Guanyin immediately summoned a group of Western Paradise Buddhas and had them disguise themselves as monsters to harass Tang Sanzang and his party.

As for Guanyin, she hurried south to a place called Dream Valley in the mountains of the far south.

As soon as Guanyin entered Dream Valley, a sound like soft silk and bamboo music echoed in the valley.

Along with this sound, Guanyin's spirit suddenly weakened, and she couldn't help but yawn twice.

"Dream Eater Beast, stop using your Dream Entrancement Divine Power on me."

"My visit this time is a stroke of good fortune for you. If you agree to this matter, then I will definitely request the Buddha to bestow upon you a title. In the future, you will be the Dharma Protector Divine Beast of Western Paradise, worshiped by all."

Guanyin shouted loudly, using her most skilled technique of drawing a pie, offering tempting conditions.
