“Amitabha!”
“The Heavenly Dao prospers my Buddhism!”
Not only was the Buddha happy, but the hearts of all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats were also filled with joy.
With the birth of the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Journey to the West began, and the rise of Buddhism started from this moment.
Perhaps this time, they could surpass Daoism, surpass the Heavenly Court, and become the greatest in the Three Realms.
What could make the disciples of Buddhism happier than this?
The Journey to the West was the will of the Heavenly Dao; no matter who it was, they had to obey and cooperate.
Even if it was the Jade Emperor and others who were unhappy.
Therefore, everyone understood that Buddhism would definitely rise.
The Heavenly Dao prospers Buddhism!
“Buddha, how much longer?” Guanyin, as the administrator of the Journey to the West, was more anxious than others.
The Buddha waved his hand, and a mirror-like image appeared in the Lingshan Great Hall.
The content of the image was a large stone by the sea.
“Amitabha, tomorrow.
We just have to wait quietly.” Although the Buddha was happy, he was not in a hurry.
When the Bodhisattvas heard this, smiles appeared on their faces as they replied,
“Good!”
“Amitabha!”
The large stone everyone saw now was the mending heaven stone on Flower-Fruit Mountain; all Buddhist personnel watched the birth of the Stone Monkey live, together recording this beautiful moment of Buddhism’s rise.
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor sat on his throne, his face somewhat helpless.
The Journey to the West, the prosperity of Buddhism, was the will of the Heavenly Dao; although he was the Lord of the Three Realms, Hongjun’s boy, he had no choice and had to cooperate well.
It was no wonder Buddhism was prospering; the Heavenly Court was a contradiction, with people from both the Jie and Chan sects, as well as some people from before the Investiture of the Gods.
Most of these people were outwardly obedient but inwardly rebellious, so the Heavenly Court was very disunited.
Now that the Heavenly Dao prospers Buddhism, all the Immortals in the Heavenly Court are very unhappy.
“Cough, cough, when the time comes, I’ll shake the Lingxiao Palace a bit; everyone cooperate, understand?” Although the Jade Emperor was also unhappy, he still had to do the superficial work.
When the Lingming Stone Monkey is born, there will be a big commotion in the Three Realms.
It will be shocking!
The Immortals nodded, indicating they understood.
The Immortals were also helpless; damn it, the Heavenly Dao prospers Buddhism, and they, a group of Daoist Immortals from the Heavenly Court, still had to cooperate?
But knowing this was a new Heavenly Dao catastrophe after the Investiture of the Gods, they all had to cooperate as much as possible.
The Jade Emperor still hoped that it would be best if it didn’t come out; once it came out, not only would the Journey to the West prosper Buddhism, but he would also have to cooperate in the act.
As for how to act, the Jade Emperor temporarily considered letting the Stone Monkey reach the Lingxiao Palace and hiding under the table…
Underworld.
The Ten Kings of Hell gathered.
“Have you all given the orders?”
“When the Stone Monkey is born, tell the evil spirits below to scream more fiercely; everyone cooperate actively.”
“That’s right, this time we can use the Stone Monkey to deal with our previous messes…
hehe!” King Guangqin looked at his brothers and began to laugh.
Everyone also laughed and nodded together.
They now greatly wished for the Lingming Stone Monkey to be born quickly and to follow the arrangements—to cause havoc in the Underworld and the Heavenly Palace.
East Sea Dragon Palace, Old Dragon King sighed.
When this monkey was born, it was going to cause trouble for his East Sea; the key was that even after being troubled, he still had to smile.
Square Inch Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi was also paying attention to the situation on Flower-Fruit Mountain.
As a clone of Zhunti, he played an important role in the prosperity of Buddhism.
“Heaven wants to prosper my Buddhism; from now on, my Buddhism will surely surpass Daoism and the Heavenly Court, hahaha…”
“By then, my main body’s strength will definitely advance by a major realm.
Hongjun has already assimilated with the Dao; no one in the Three Realms will be my opponent.”
At this moment, Patriarch Bodhi was truly thrilled beyond measure!
…
Under the attention of various forces, the mending heaven stone of Flower-Fruit Mountain, which was Sun Wukong, had already fallen into a deep sleep.
…
The next morning, purple qi came from the east.
This was the day the Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms were watching for the monkey’s birth.
Flower-Fruit Mountain.
The mending heaven stone, having accumulated enough energy, began to absorb the essence of the purple qi.
Western Heaven.
In the Lingshan Great Hall, a group of Divine Buddhas stared intently at the projection.
Everyone was extremely excited in their hearts; it’s coming, it’s coming, the rise of Buddhism is finally here.
At the same time, they were also curious: what would this innate sacred spirit, born from a stone, who would be the main character of the Journey to the West, look like?
However, after seeing the mending heaven stone absorb the purple qi, it fell silent again.
There was no movement at all.
What the hell?
Holy crap?
What’s going on?
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of the Western Heaven completely lost their composure.
Is it not coming out?
Why aren’t you coming out?
Did you oversleep?
Did the date of the Lingming Stone Monkey’s birth, affirmed by the Saints, turn out to be wrong?
“Why is there no movement?”
Guanyin, as the scripture-fetching administrator, frowned and couldn’t help but ask.
The other Bodhisattvas and Arhats all looked at the Buddha with stunned expressions.
“Yes, Buddha, why hasn’t it come out?”
“This is the Heavenly Dao prospering Buddhism; how could there be an accident?”
“That’s right, my Buddha…
what exactly is going on?”
While others on the scene were distressed, the Buddha was even more bewildered, thinking: “I also want Buddhism to rise, but this situation…
how the hell would I know?”
After some thought, the Buddha spoke to comfort them: “Perhaps there’s a slight change in the heavenly secret; let’s wait and see.”
After replying, the Buddha frantically began to calculate in secret.
Upon calculating, the Buddha was instantly dumbfounded.
Damn it!
“The heavenly secret has actually been partially obscured and modified, and the date of birth has actually…
become five hundred years later???”
“Who the hell is so bold as to dare to defy the will of the Heavenly Dao, to dare to obstruct the prosperity of Buddhism?”
For a moment, the Buddha was so angry he wanted to kill someone.
Who the hell tampered with it, actually changing the Stone Monkey’s birth date by five hundred years?
Now the entire Buddhist sect was fully prepared, just waiting for the east wind, and that damn east wind wouldn’t come for five hundred years, damn it!
The Buddha had originally planned to seal the Stone Monkey for a few hundred years to temper his sharpness if he was disobedient, but now, damn it!
Now the entire Buddhist sect had to wait five hundred years?
Motherfucker!
The Buddha felt like he had been played.
In this situation, all of Buddhism’s preparations, including the hired actors, would have to be…
put off for five hundred years.
After thinking about it, the Buddha still couldn’t figure out who had done it.
After all, everyone who had experienced the Investiture of the Gods knew that the Heavenly Dao’s catastrophe was unstoppable.
Nuwa?
For a moment, the Buddha felt that Nuwa was the most likely suspect.
Nuwa, outside the Journey to the West world, stated: I’m not taking the blame for this.
“Five hundred years from today…
it will be born!”
The Buddha was seething inside, looking at the bewildered faces of everyone present, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
How the hell am I supposed to get through these five hundred years?
The Bodhisattvas and Arhats were stunned when they heard the Buddha’s words, and then seeing the Buddha’s murderous expression, they instantly became even more bewildered.
Motherfucker!
Even with the Heavenly Dao prospering Buddhism, someone dared to tamper with it?
Although they were unwilling to believe it, this large stone in front of them had been quiet for most of the day, becoming increasingly calm, showing no signs of being born.
For a moment, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the entire Lingshan Great Hall had either bitter or gloomy expressions.
More often, it was like a balloon that had half its air let out, feeling somewhat powerless.
In an instant, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas couldn’t help but think: “Golden Cicada, you left too early.”
Golden Cicada: “???”
