Monkey Descends! The great calamity had begun! Kneel and beg for self-appointment
In the dream space.
Su Yan sat cross-legged under the Tree of Merits. The Overlooking Map of the Divine Prefecture slowly unfolded in front of him.
"The Buddhist Sect reacted quickly."
Su Yan muttered to himself with a smile.
Now, Confucianism had only spread for half a year, and the number of believers had only exceeded 100 million, but Buddhism had actually sensed it.
Did he see the drop in incense offerings?
Or was it because someone changed to Confucianism and destroyed the temple?
In short, Su Yan was certain that the Buddhist Sect had already discovered that Confucianism was widely spread in the lower realm.
Moreover, they had already taken corresponding measures to deal with it!
However, Su Yan didn't really care.
At present, the methods that the Buddhist Sect had revealed were all within Su Yan's plan!
Before he agreed to the Jade Emperor's request, Su Yan had already predicted the Buddhist Sect's reaction after the spread of Confucianism.
If the power of Buddhism was strong enough to ignore Haotian, then there was an 80% chance that they would come to Soaring Heaven King Palace to end the source of Confucianism.
The possibility of this option was not small.
After all, there were only 900 years left until the Journey to the West, and the power of Buddhism had mostly been established.
The current Western Buddhist Sect was far from the weak and barren Western Sect of the past.
After all, the implementation of Confucianism was done by Haotian alone, not the will of the entire Heavenly Court.
Therefore, the possibility of the Buddhist Sect directly attacking was quite high.
However, the Western Buddhist Sect did not do so. No one knew what kind of considerations they had.
Su Yan's eyes flashed as he tapped on the map.
The people who practiced Confucianism appeared on the Divine Prefecture Overlooking Map as Su Yan's thoughts moved, shining like stars.
Now, there were more than a hundred million people in the lower realm who practiced the Way of Confucius, and most of them were concentrated in the lower part of Jambu.
At this position, the Buddhist Sect launched an intense counterattack and fought for incense!
Su Yan looked at the Buddhist Sect's various actions with a calm expression.
The first was to increase the intensity of their preaching. In the lower part of Jambu, monks in kasaya were as common as farmers and shepherds, and they would pull people along to talk about Buddhism!
It was the Buddhas calling on their believers. If they spread the Dharma, they would be blessed by the Buddha!
Su Yan naturally knew that the so-called Buddha's blessing was just a gimmick. Lord Tathagata was only after his incense.
There might not even be one in a billion believers who could truly receive the blessings of Buddha!
However, for mortals, the vast majority of them had never seen the methods of immortals in their entire lives. These monks took the inferior magic tools passed down by the Buddha and pretended to show their divinity, but they had gained a lot.
Secondly, they would build temples in these areas!
In the lower part of Jambu Continent, there was a Buddhist temple built every few miles, and the total number was probably no less than 4.8 million!
This was also done by the Buddhist Sect of the Western Heaven. They made their believers spend money to build Buddhist temples, saying that they could accumulate karma and cultivate their next life!
Su Yan didn't have any concerns about this. This was within his expectations.
The essence of Confucianism was to enter the world. To cultivate talent with articles, to fight for wealth with talent, and to make contributions with wealth to achieve self-achievement was the theory of entering the world.
The Buddhist scriptures were the exact opposite. They focused on eliminating the six desires and seven emotions, cutting off the mortal world, suffering and cultivating the next life.
The two of them were originally tit-for-tat and incompatible mantras. Sooner or later, they would meet in battle.
The Buddhist Sect was actually still restraining themselves.
Su Yan estimated that if these two axes could not suppress the momentum of the Confucian Dao, the Buddhist Sect would probably target the Confucian Dao and compile Buddhist scriptures to suppress it!
In comparison, although the first two movements were huge, they were all ordered by the mortal world's believers. In fact, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas did not have much trouble.
As for compiling Buddhist scriptures, it was not something that mortals could do!
To be able to resist Confucianism, the Buddhist scriptures had to be personally written by Buddha!
However, Su Yan didn't care.
On the contrary, this matter had solved a problem for him!
Originally, Su Yan didn't care much about the spread of Confucianism in the Xi Liang Female Nation, but he was still a little worried.
After all, it was different from before. He was only teaching a disciple and was very secretive. Even if he was discovered, he would only be classified as someone with extraordinary talent.
However, it was different in the Xi Liang Matriarch Kingdom. What was passed down was a theory that targeted the entire country!
If he stood out like this and was noticed by the Buddhist Sect, it would be quite troublesome.
Although it wasn't enough to threaten Su Yan's foundation, it was a very troublesome matter for the king of the Kingdom of Women. It was almost impossible to deal with.
But now, Jade Emperor Haotian's early participation had resolved this hidden danger.
The current conflict between Confucianism and Buddhism was already a game between the Jade Emperor and Buddhism!
The battlefield was also expanded to the entire human faith. The entire human world, under the push of Haotian, broadcasted Confucianism to resist Buddhism!
Yan He and the Xi Liang Kingdom of Women were easily picked out.
However, the feedback from the incense had yet to arrive.
Previously, when he imparted Confucianism to the women's country, Su Yan received 30 million incense sticks.
"Do we have to wait until it is widely spread and most people have cultivated it before we can calculate the feedback?”
Su Yan guessed.
Previously, in the Kingdom of Women, it was only after most of the people had cultivated the Confucian Way that the enlightenment was successful and the reward was calculated!
But now, the scope of enlightenment had expanded to the entire human race!
Then this feedback reward would probably have to wait for a period of time!
However, Su Yan was not in a hurry.
At the moment, what he was most concerned about was the movements of the Buddhist Sect!
After all, whether it was spreading Buddhism or repairing temples, they were only actions in the lower realm.
Among them, the ones who contributed the most were the secular Buddhist believers. As for the Spirit Mountain, at most, there were only a few young monks who contributed.
However, in the face of such a matter, and at this critical period of the Journey to the West, would the Buddhist Sect really only interfere with this?
According to the Buddhist Sect in his memories, their methods were far more than these!
Su Yan's eyes flashed as he closed his eyes and began to deduce.
With the karma threads connected to the Tree of Merits, his deduction ability would improve!
However, the end of the deduction was gray, as if it was blocked by the heavenly secrets, unable to go any further!
"Unable to calculate…"
Su Yan frowned, but he wasn't disappointed.
Obtaining a result that could not be calculated was not considered to be completely fruitless!
After all, with his current cultivation of the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm, he could already pry into most things.
If he couldn't, the road ahead would be blurry and unclear. It wouldn't be as gray and untraceable as it was now.
The last time Su Yan encountered such a situation was when he was deducing the Journey to the West Calamity!
"Is this also related to the Journey to the West?”
Su Yan pondered.
Could it be that the Buddhist Sect decided to trigger the Cultivation Tribulation of the West in advance because of the catalyst of Confucianism?
It was not impossible!
Then, if he wanted to trigger Journey to the West in advance, where would the other party start?
Should he first arrange for the disciples of the gods and buddhas to ride on their mounts and wait on them to descend to the lower realm, occupy the mountain as king, and gather their luck?
Or should he speed up the 81 difficulties and set the tribulations?
Or perhaps he planned the disaster of the Jing River Dragon King in advance and buried the fuse that would lead to a thousand years later?
Or did he tamper with the main character of the Journey to the West, the Spiritual Stone Monkey Sun Wukong?
Su Yan instantly made guesses.
Immediately after, he grabbed Guangyuan's dream form.
"Greetings, Master!"
Guangyuan was cultivating in his dream at this time, so he didn't feel uncomfortable being pulled into the clouds.
"How has Subhuti been recently?"
Su Yan asked.
He had to eliminate them one by one and finally find the most likely option.
Sun Wukong's route was the one he had the greatest confidence in.
After all, Su Yan had already planned ahead and planted Guangyuan as a spy in the Tristar Crescent Abode.
Now, he could use Guangyuan to find out about Grandmaster Subhuti's movements!
"Patriarch Subhuti has been making deductions for the past few days without rest.”
"Disciple only feels that something is not right, but I don't understand why.”
Su Yan raised his eyebrows.
It would be fine if an ordinary person were to make a divination, but Patriarch Subhuti was merely an incarnation.
The mission of this incarnation was to wait for the stone monkey to arrive at the Three Stars Cave of the Crescent Moon on the Spiritual Platform Fangcun Mountain. Then, he would take in a disciple and help him along his journey to the West.
Then what was he deducing?
Su Yan pondered while Guangyuan continued,"
"I'll use my divine sense to show its movements in the clouds.”
As Guangyuan spoke, he closed his eyes and condensed his divine sense to project the whereabouts of Patriarch Subhuti.
Su Yan looked at the projection.
In the projection, Patriarch Subhuti was sitting cross-legged and calculating. He was very attentive, and from time to time, he would form a hand seal to assist.
"This is…"
Su Yan was focused, not letting go of any clues.
Finally, after watching for a while, Su Yan found an extremely subtle clue!
This time, Patriarch Subhuti formed a seal that represented time!
"He's deducing the direction of the water flow from the East Victory Divine Continent to the South Jambu Continent in three hundred years?”
Su Yan suddenly understood!
At this moment, in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, on the Aolai Nation's Flowerfruit Mountain, there were seven-colored clouds covering the celestial mountain, making it seem quite mystical.
A Bodhisattva walked out from the clouds. He held a jade bottle in his hand. A tender willow extended from the jade bottle. Bright clouds were swallowing and exhaling from it. It was the Buddhist Sect's Venerable Guan Yin!
Guanyin stepped on the clouds and descended from the sky. She stepped on the Flowerfruit Mountain and moved the Buddhist seal in her hand. Then, she walked towards a mountain.
On the cliff at the peak of the mountain, there was a strange stone that stood tall. It was extremely huge. There were waves of immortal light circulating around it, and there were also fragments of Dao laws circling around it. It did not look like a stone from the mortal world.
Guanyin walked up the cliff barefooted and gently stroked the Heaven Mending Stone, sending her divine sense into it.
"This Heaven Mending Stone is still more than a hundred years away from the birth of life. It's too slow!”
Guan Yin frowned slightly.
Then, he poured out the jade bottle in his hand. The nectar in the bottle poured down like a river breaking through a dam, washing over the Heaven Mending Rock and forming a waterfall at the bottom of the cliff!
Under the influence of the nectar in the bottle, the Heaven Mending Stone actually shook slightly, as if it was about to make a sound!
However, Guanyin still felt that it was not enough, so she simply pulled out the tender willow from the jade bottle and threw it on the Heaven Mending Stone.
The moment the green willow touched the Heaven Mending Stone, it was like salt meeting water. It began to melt inch by inch and fuse into the Heaven Mending Stone!
At the same time, cracking sounds could be heard from the Heaven Mending Stone!
At first, it was very subtle, but soon, it was continuous and rapid!
Kacha!
With a loud bang, a crack appeared on the Heaven Mending Stone!
Then, a divine light shone out from the crack, and the light shot straight into the clouds!
