Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1585 - 1583: Wutian’s Visit

Capítulo 1585: Chapter 1583: Wutian’s Visit

Indeed, over the years, the actions of the Buddhist Sect have been relentless, truly giving the impression of Buddhism’s rise!

Years have passed, and finally, the Void Realm Sage’s lecture concluded, with numerous powerhouses respectfully saluting Jieyin, expressing their gratitude!

A Sage’s lecture is not something just anyone has the fortune to hear!

As the Sage’s lecture concluded, the teachings of the Tathagata also came to a halt!

Then, countless cultivators also expressed their gratitude to the Tathagata!

Moreover, with the current momentum of the Buddhist Sect growing stronger by the day, quite a few cultivators are willing to join Buddhism!

From those at the Returning Void Realm to those at the level of the Daluo Golden Immortal…

With the end of the lectures by the Tathagata and Jieyin, the Buddhist Sect recruited another batch of followers, causing Buddhism’s destiny to soar once again!

However, no matter how grand the momentum of the Buddhist Sect is now, and no matter how low-key the Ming Sect is…

The truly perceptive individuals can see that the current rise of the Buddhist Sect and the low profile of the Ming Sect are mere appearances!

At least, Buddhism still dares not truly descend from the Void Realm to the Mortal World!

Why is that? Isn’t it because they fear the Ming Sect?

Overall, based on the current low profile of the Ming Sect and the rising momentum of Buddhism, many believe that the Buddhist Sect has already surpassed the Ming Sect!

Once the Ming Sect truly goes to war with the Buddhist Sect, the Ming Sect will surely face more defeats than victories!

Regarding such statements, neither the Buddhist Sect nor the Ming Sect has said anything, making the atmosphere quite strange!

Within the Ming Sect, many followers were originally quite upset, feeling that the Ming Sect was too cowardly now, having to watch Buddhism grow stronger!

However, after Jiang Liu spoke and clearly explained the situation, these followers calmed down!

No matter how you change, I have my guiding principles! That’s roughly the idea!

No matter how grand the actions of the Buddhist Sect, how frequent or arrogant, as long as your Spirit Mountain is still in the Void Realm and dares not move to the Human Realm…

All your actions are but the taunts of a clown!

“Half a year, just half a year left! The ten years of Heavenly Retribution punishment are finally about to end!”

On this day, Jiang Liu quietly stayed within the Ming Sect, feeling his own power still as immobile as stagnant water, and couldn’t help but reflect!

Nine and a half years have passed, and have I really gotten used to the days of having my cultivation level sealed?

Of course, the cultivation levels of the three corpses have already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level. For Jiang Liu, even if his own cultivation level is really sealed, the difference isn’t too significant!

“Amitabha…”

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant rang out above the Ming Sect, catching everyone’s attention!

Hearing this voice, Jiang Liu was stunned, someone in the Ming Sect chants a Buddhist mantra? Are they courting death?

“Wait, this voice is…”

However, soon, Jiang Liu realized and got up to walk outside!

Indeed, a silhouette sat quietly on a black lotus platform in the air!

However, this person’s lotus platform was black, and although wearing black Buddha’s robe, there were no scars of precepts on the head!

At least not visible scars, but with long hair, giving a deviant and unorthodox impression!

“Wutian Buddha, long time no see, how have you been?”

Looking at the figure sitting in the air, Jiang Liu spoke!

Wutian descended and bowed slightly to Jiang Liu: “Jiang Liu, it’s been a while, I’ve been well!”

“Please, come in!” The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Looking at the visiting Wutian Buddha, Jiang Liu gestured, inviting him!

At Jiang Liu’s invitation, Wutian Buddha soon entered the great hall!

Someone naturally served tea, and Jiang Liu waved his hand, sending everyone out of the Ming Sect’s great hall!

Clearly, Wutian Buddha’s sudden visit was not simply a casual tour; there must be significant matters to discuss!

And what does Wutian Buddha intend to discuss? Jiang Liu had a general understanding!

Jiang Liu and Wutian engaged in casual conversation over tea, chatting leisurely about various topics, neither seeming urgent, just simple conversation!

After a cup of tea time passed, good introductions were made, and then Wutian Buddha remarked with a sigh: “The Buddhist Sect is truly flourishing now!”

“The flourishing of the Buddhist Sect is ordained by the Heavenly Dao, is it not natural?” Jiang Liu responded!

“Indeed, it is natural, but Jiang Liu, have you considered that the current flourishing of the Buddhist Sect indicates that the matter predestined by the Heavenly Dao has been completed?”

After a slight nod, Wutian suddenly asked Jiang Liu!

“Yes, what Wutian Buddha says is reasonable!” Jiang Liu agreed and replied!

On this point, Jiang Liu and Wutian’s views were completely aligned!

Didn’t the Heavenly Dao say that the Buddhist Sect’s prosperity was destined?

Alright then, let you prosper, I won’t stop it!

But after the prosperity, what will the Buddhist Sect become?

The Heavenly Dao never mentioned, right?

It’s like a man is destined to marry a particular woman!

Nothing wrong, the wedding is held, you two are made couple directly!

But after becoming a couple? Divorce is still possible, right?

Even, right after the couple’s bowing ceremony, at the end of the rites, immediate divorce wouldn’t break their binding marriage rule, right?

“Now the Buddhist Sect prospers, a matter destined by the Heavenly Dao, considered done, but how long should this prosperity last? Jiang Liu, do you know?”

Seeing Jiang Liu’s expression, Wutian Buddha understood his thoughts matched his own, smiled faintly, and followed up with a question!

“I do not know!” Jiang Liu shook his head and answered!

However, upon saying this, Jiang Liu turned and asked Wutian, “Wutian Buddha, do you know?”

“I don’t know either!” Wutian Buddha followed with a shake of his head, answered aloud!

After saying this, Jiang Liu and Wutian exchanged smiles, and soon both couldn’t help but laugh aloud!

Talking till here, both Jiang Liu and Wutian were considered to have spoken thoroughly!

Therefore, neither harbored secrets anymore, Wutian asked, “Jiang Liu, post-prosperity of the Buddhist Sect, logically it should decline after the peak, wouldn’t you say?”

“Right!” Jiang Liu nodded in agreement, maintaining his approving expression!

“Then how should this rise and decline be executed, any ideas?” hearing this, Wutian continued asking Jiang Liu!

“It’s not an easy task! After all, Buddhism resides in the Void Realm, where Sage Jieyin exists!” Shaking his head, Jiang Liu responded!

“Could it be, Jiang Liu, your decade of concealment and nurture has yielded no ideas?” hearing this, Wutian asked, with disbelief towards Jiang Liu!

“Whether I have or haven’t, what difference does it make?” Nonetheless, Jiang Liu’s expression remained serene, upon hearing this, he smiled slightly!

Appearing calm and composed!

“Haha, I knew you indeed have ideas…” Jiang Liu’s demeanor made Wutian Buddha laugh aloud, as if he had seen through Jiang Liu!

“Alright, directly speak of what ideas you have, you and I are in the same boat, are you still trying to keep it from me?”

“Well, somewhat, there are some ideas!” hearing Wutian’s words, Jiang Liu no longer harbored secrets, and nodded!

Indeed, nearly a decade has passed, Jiang Liu indeed concealed and nurtured himself for that time!

Through such lengthy period, even the toughest problem, even a pig would’ve figured it out, right?

Not to mention Jiang Liu’s wisdom isn’t low after experiencing all!

“Then quickly speak, what method do you have?” seeing Jiang Liu truly admitting, Wutian Buddha’s eyes gleamed, laughingly asked Jiang Liu!

“Actually, linking some matters, if understood, shouldn’t be hard!” hearing this, Jiang Liu said!

“Quit stalling, speak directly!” witnessing Jiang Liu’s appearance, Wutian Buddha seemed angrily wanting to hit! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

“Didn’t expect…” However, seeing Wutian Buddha’s manner, Jiang Liu secretly chuckled within!

In his own impression, Wutian Buddha’s persona always inclined to aloofness!

Unexpectedly, when standing on the same level, Wutian Buddha turns out to be impatient?

“Wutian Buddha, remain calm, don’t rush, come, have another cup of tea!”

Observing Wutian Buddha’s state, Jiang Liu smiled faintly, the more anxious Wutian was, the less hurried Jiang Liu became!

“Alright, then let’s have tea, speak slowly!” seeing Jiang Liu like this, Wutian mixed with urgency and anger, swiftly understood, realizing Jiang Liu purposefully dangles him!

Thus, taking a deep breath, Wutian Buddha pressed his own urgency, said to Jiang Liu!

“Okay, let’s talk about the Journey to the West for Scriptures…”

Jiang Liu poured another cup of tea for Wutian Buddha personally, followed by saying: “Has the Immeasurable Kalpa from the Journey to the West ended?”

“Not yet!” Wutian Buddha shook his head and replied!

“The Journey to the West for Scriptures concluded, yet the Immeasurable Kalpa hasn’t ended, right? Isn’t this suspicious to you?” Jiang Liu asked!

“Isn’t it because you withheld the scriptures, not circulated them?” Wutian Buddha almost rolled his eyes at Jiang Liu!

“No, no…”

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu replied, “Who circulates the scriptures doesn’t matter, what matters is the Journey to the West concluded, Sage Jieyin preached for over nine years, the scriptures are considered disseminated! Why hasn’t the Immeasurable Kalpa ended?”

“Why hasn’t the merit from the Journey to the West descended yet?”
