The Jing River Dragon King talked about the past.
In the ancient times, when the world was just created, during the chaos, the Bird Clan was led by a phoenix and lived in the eternal volcano. The unicorn is the most respected beast in the world and lives in Buzhou Immortal Mountain. The sea monsters regarded the dragon race as their king and dominated the entire Wang Yang.
In Untainted Land, these three tribes were called the Three Ancient Tribes. They were the three largest tribes in the world. The three tribes had been in Untainted Land for billions of years, and it was inevitable for them to compete. The leader of the Dragon Tribe was the Ancestral Dragon.
In order to compete for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, the three clans fought a great battle. As a result, they committed a monstrous Karma. The ancestors of the three clans had to suppress the Untainted Land to offset the Karma.
But even so, karma still existed, which also caused the dragon race, which was once an incomparably powerful race, to still be in a state of collapse. No dragon race in the four seas had broken through to the Zenith Heaven Realm.
After the Battle of Gods Investiture, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had all joined the Heavenly Court and were now part of the Heaven Realm.
The dragon race was naturally unwilling to accept this. They also knew that the Journey to the West Cultivation Tribulation was about to begin, so they wanted to participate in it and get a share of the spoils.
In order for the Cultivation Tribulation to proceed smoothly and for Buddhism to flourish in the Eastern Land, there was actually another key factor, which was the approval of the Human Emperor.
The Dragon Clan had been trying to pull strings for a spot in the Journey to the West.
In the end, the purpose of the Jing River Dragon King was to make the Human Emperor afraid so that he would agree to the preaching of Buddhism.
Hearing this, Jiang Han finally understood why the Third Prince of the West Sea Dragon King, Ao Lie, would appear on the journey to the West. It turned out that the Jing River Dragon King had sacrificed his life to obtain it.
The pitiful thing was that the dragon race had put in a lot of effort for their own rise, but they did not gain any benefits from joining the Westward Journey Tribulation.
In the end, the little White Dragon only became the Eight Heavenly Dragons of Buddhism and got a dispensable position. It could be said that it was a loss.
Now that he understood the cause and effect, Jiang Han had no intention of interfering with the Dragon Clan's actions. What would happen to the little White Dragon had nothing to do with him.
Just as Jiang Han was about to leave, he suddenly thought that his Gouchen Palace was still very empty. Although there were many heavenly troops, there were no auxiliary officials to assist him. Why not go to the dragon clan to develop?
Thinking of this, Jiang Han said,"Dragon King, the Dragon Tribe has gone through great pains for the rise of the Dragon Tribe, but have you ever thought about it? During the Dragon and Phoenix Cultivation Tribulation, Zhunti and Jieyin of the West also experienced it. Do you think they want to see the rise of the Dragon Tribe again?”
"This..."
Jiang Han's words immediately made the Jing River Dragon King fall into deep thought. In fact, it was uncertain whether he would be able to rise up if he forcefully joined in to learn from the scriptures.
How could the dragons, who had experienced many Cultivation Tribulations, not know the nature of the western Buddha?
"But we don't have a choice. Even if there's only a small chance, our race will still fight for it.”
Jing River Dragon King said resolutely.
Hearing this, Jiang Han's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. He smiled and said,"The problem is that you don't rely on your own hard work, but on the charity of others. How can you make yourself rise? However, considering your spirit, I'm willing to give you a chance.”
"I'm still lacking auxiliary officials in my Imperial Palace. I can let the people from the dragon clan take me as their master and teach them carefully. I guarantee that your dragon clan will produce at least one Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.”
Hearing Jiang Han's words, Jing River Dragon King hesitated.
The Jing River Dragon King also knew about the abilities of the Gouchen Monarch. He was a legend in the past thousands of years. In just a few hundred years, he had broken through to the Zenith Heaven Realm and even beat Sun Wukong up.
However, compared to the current Jiang Han and Buddhism, the Jing River Dragon King still felt that they were not enough.
The Jing River Dragon King was somewhat hesitant about this. Suddenly, he remembered that the Great Emperor Gouchen was also a member of the Journey to the West, so he could definitely take him as his master and learn from him.
If Jiang Han could really nurture a Zenith Heaven, he would be loyal to him. If he couldn't, there was nothing to say about the Dragon Tribe colluding with the Buddhist Gouchen Emperor, because he was the one who failed to fulfill his promise.
Thinking of this, Jing River Dragon King bowed and said,""It's our dragon clan's fortune that you're so kind. I'll report this to the Dragon King of the East Sea now. If this matter succeeds, our dragon clan will follow your lead!”
Jiang Han could tell that the Jing River Dragon King had second thoughts in his words. However, he had only just started to interact with the Dragon Clan, so it was normal for the other party to have some concerns.
In any case, everything was decided by strength. Moreover, he had the Nine Transformations Golden Core in his hands. What was the point of nurturing a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal? It would be a profit if he exchanged a Golden Core for the dragon clan's participation.
The Jing River Dragon King sent people to discuss with the Four Seas Dragon Kings, and Jiang Han returned to the Imperial Capital after the discussion to wait for Tang Sanzang's appearance.
After staying in an inn in the Imperial Capital for a few days, Jiang Han heard that the Human Emperor was going to hold a Water and Land Spiritual Conference.
Human Emperor Li Shi Min had always felt uneasy because his methods of ascending to the throne were too brutal, causing his father to kill his brother.
This gave Buddhism an opportunity. Under the soul search of the Dragon King of the Jing River, Emperor Taizong's primordial spirit was thrown into the underworld. After arriving at the City of Vain Deaths, all kinds of vengeful souls emerged to claim the life of the King of Tang.
This frightened Li Shimin. After hearing that the judge and the King of Hell said that it was useful to hold the Land and Water Dharma Conference, he returned to the world with an attitude of attaching importance to Buddhism.
Humans were the main characters of the world. Those who were not Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals could not get close to them, let alone ordinary ghosts. It was useless even if they cultivated to become immortals. This could only be said that Buddhism was scheming.
However, how could Li Shiming, who did not know how to cultivate, understand these principles? After returning to the world, he worshiped Buddha with reverence and carried out the Water and Land Spiritual Conference.
Jiang Han couldn't help but sigh. Buddhism was really good at scheming. They had arranged everything. They really spared no effort for the prosperity of the West.
The Water and Land Dharma Assembly was one of the largest Dharma Assembly in Buddhism, with the most outstanding merits. Its full name was "Dharma World Holy Mortal Water and Land Purdue Grand Rapture Victory Assembly". Normally, it would last seven days and nights, or forty-nine days at most. It was known as the "King of Spiritual Assembly".
This Spiritual Conference required a lot of manpower, but it was nothing to the prosperous Tang Empire. The Human Emperor had gathered 1,200 eminent monks to perform various wonderful scriptures at the Huasheng Temple in Chang 'an.
During the opening of the Water and Land Spiritual Conference, one person stood out and received Li Shimin's attention.
That was Master Xuanzang. He had been a monk since he was a child and had been fasting and receiving precepts ever since he was born. There is nothing that cannot be understood in thousands of scriptures and scriptures, and there is nothing that cannot be understood in the immortal voice of Buddha.
This was normal. As the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada Master under Rulai, it was not difficult for him to stand out among a group of mortal monks.
The Water and Land Spiritual Conference was extremely grand. The treasure cover is shining, reflecting the sun and dancing red lightning.
Guan Yin, who had set off from the spiritual mountain to arrange the matter, also arrived at this moment with Mu Zha.
