Rewriting the Gods

As soon as the pilgrims stepped into the Western Sea, the Medicine Buddha manifested his true form and used magic to heal them.

Although everyone's injuries were severe, they were nothing compared to the Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Buddha, who was at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level and skilled in healing.

Three months later, Sun Wukong, who had the most serious injuries, also recovered and returned to the pilgrimage team.

Coincidentally, when the monkey fought Xiang Yu, he had no choice but to use the demonic ape. In the end, he was completely swallowed up by the demonic ape's ferocious aura, and his true spirit was clouded. Logically speaking, he should have been unable to regain his senses.

However, Xiang Yu forcefully defeated the demonic ape, directly pulling Sun Wukong out of his demonic ape state. In shattering the demonic ape's original power, he also extinguished the demonic ape's fighting spirit and ferocity.

Ironically, this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the monkey regained its senses, and thanks to this experience, the process of absorbing the demonic ape's essence went much more smoothly.

Even without transforming into a demonic ape, the monkey's combat power is much stronger than before.

Even if you transform into a demonic ape, you can basically control the power of the demonic ape and it is difficult to be taken advantage of by the demonic ape's ferocity!
However, this was not all good news. The reason why the monkey was able to completely control the demon ape was not because the monkey itself became stronger, but because the demon ape became weaker. The demon ape's essence, which was formed by fusing the four chaotic monkeys within the monkey, was mostly shattered by Xiang Yu.

The monkey's original essence is now incomplete. Even when it transforms into a demonic ape, it is no longer as ferocious as before, and its combat power has also declined sharply.

Of course, despite the decline, the Demon Ape's foundation remains. The current Monkey King's combat power is enough to overwhelm Sha Wujing and the Jade Kirin. As for Tang Sanzang and Marshal Tianpeng, the former's ability to fight the Monkey King should be uncertain.

As for the latter, if the power of the Heavenly Dao is used, the monkey will undoubtedly lose. If the power of the Heavenly Dao is not used and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder is not used, the outcome of the battle between the two should be 30/70.

The monkey accounts for 70%, and Tianpeng (the Monkey King) accounts for 30%.

Getting back to the main point, after recovering from their injuries, the pilgrims thanked the Medicine Buddha and set off on their journey again.

Throughout the journey, everyone's expressions remained solemn. Although they had left the Southern Continent of the human race, there was still one tribulation left to be overcome among the eighty-one tribulations.

Recalling the fierce battle three months ago, and the peerless ruthless man who forcefully suppressed the demonic ape's ferocity, even though everyone knew that it would be difficult for the human race to produce enough experts to establish the eighty-first tribulation after the eightieth tribulation.

But the crowd still couldn't hide their worry, because the human race had such a deep foundation.

There are countless experts along the way, and those with powerful cultivation are as numerous as carp crossing the river. No one can be sure if there are any other powerful individuals among the human race who have yet to make their move.

While the pilgrims were filled with anxiety, time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another six months had gone by.

Unlike Jambudvipa, Aparagodaniya is smaller in area, and because it is the main base of Buddhism, the pilgrims were well taken care of when they arrived there, and their journey was extremely smooth with no one blocking their way.

This section of the road can be described as the smoothest road on the journey to the West.

In just six months, the pilgrims arrived at the foot of Mount Ling.

The eighty-first tribulation that everyone feared still hadn't arrived.

As the group stepped onto Mount Ling, the five of them felt a sense of relief.

It seems the human race isn't coming back, and a smile involuntarily appeared on Tang Sanzang's face.

However, it makes sense. In the eightieth tribulation, the five immortals who intervened were all top-tier beings, each more powerful than the last, and could be considered top geniuses who combined the strength of both the human race and the Jie Sect.

Humanity should have no more prodigies; otherwise, they wouldn't have invited the immortals of the Jie Sect to help.

Clearly, in the eyes of the human race's higher-ups, the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit and Yu Yuan of the Jie Sect should be superior to other experts of the human race. If that's the case, even if there are other experts in the human race, they should not be as good as the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit and Yu Yuan.

To put it bluntly, although these two are the leading figures of the third generation of disciples of the Jie Sect and the strongest among the Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Jie Sect, their strength is only at the level of Yu Qilin and Sha Wujing.

Compared to Tang Sanzang, Marshal Tianpeng and the Monkey King are still somewhat inferior.

Anyone who is inferior to these two, even if they come, will have come for nothing.

It seems that the human race realized they had no hope and gave up.

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; the scriptures had finally been obtained.

Everything went smoothly from then on. Led by the monk, the five of them set foot on Mount Ling and were summoned by Maitreya Buddha.

After paying their respects, the Buddha praised the five men for their merits and bestowed upon Tang Sanzang the title of Sandalwood Merit Buddha, upon Sun Wukong the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, upon Marshal Tianpeng the title of Great Bright King Buddha, upon Sha Wujing the title of Protector of the Way and Killer Bodhisattva, and upon the Jade Qilin the title of Dharma Protector Qilin Bodhisattva!
Five pilgrims, three Buddhas, and two Bodhisattvas.

Compared to the original pilgrims, this reward is much greater, especially for Sha Wujing, Yu Qilin, and Marshal Tianpeng, whose ranks have been elevated significantly.

After the bestowal of titles and rewards was completed, Maitreya Buddha immediately sent someone to retrieve the Tripitaka, which consisted of the Dharma, Abhidharma, and Sutras!

It is said to encompass everything and can save all living beings.

Tang Sanzang and the pilgrims bowed respectfully in thanks, and then prepared to return with the Tripitaka scriptures.

Just as everyone was about to set off, Maitreya Buddha spoke: "Initially, you all traveled hundreds of millions of miles to come, and now that you are leaving, you will be protected by Vajra guardians, and you will depart on the clouds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddha sat down, and eight Vajra warriors at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the Buddha.

He channeled his magic power, erected a beam of light, and led everyone toward the human race's southern continent of Jambudvipa.

Looking in the direction the crowd had left, Maitreya Buddha felt a strange sense of unease.

Although it is unlikely that the human race can put together another tribulation, they are very likely to have given up on this one.

However, the journey to the West was not completely over, and Maitreya Buddha could not help but worry.

After all, this gamble involves the very survival of Buddhism, and as the Buddha of Mount Ling, the fate of Buddhism has a huge impact on him.

Hope everything goes well.

At this moment, countless people throughout the primordial world were hoping that the pilgrims would safely arrive in Chang'an and spread the true Buddhist scriptures.

The Styx Ancestor in the Blood Sea and Styx River is like this, the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court is like this, and the three saints in the endless chaos are also like this. This journey to the West involves far too many things.

The gazes of countless powerful beings in the prehistoric world converged on the auspicious cloud that carried the pilgrim on his journey. At this moment, almost everyone in the prehistoric world was watching the pilgrim.

Under the protection of the Eight Vajra Guardians, the pilgrims traveled at an incredible speed. What would have taken them more than ten years to travel from Chang'an to Mount Ling was now completed in just a few dozen breaths, when they arrived at the Western Sea.

Beyond the vast Western Sea lies the Southern Continent of the human race.

The five members of the pilgrimage group stood on auspicious clouds, gazing at the increasingly clear Jambudvipa (Southern Continent) before them, their expressions varying.

When we first came here, we had to overcome eighty hardships to finally emerge from this land. How difficult it was!

Just as everyone was lamenting the hardships they had endured along the way, the monkey's eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw a young man standing quietly by the sea on the shore not far away, calmly watching them.

At first, the monkey only thought he was an ordinary person, with no magical fluctuations around him.

However, in just a moment, the monkey felt that the person in front of him had suddenly grown taller, like a colossal giant reaching into the clouds, whose top could not be seen at a glance. In front of him, the monkey felt extremely small, like a speck of dust.

In the blink of an eye, all the scenes vanished, and the world before them was the same as before. The group was still on the Dharma Cloud, approaching the Southern Continent. The monkey subconsciously glanced at the shore, only to see that person still standing quietly.

"Wait, watch out!"

As soon as the monkey finished speaking, the five members of the pilgrimage group became tense. Vast streams of magical power rose up, and various distinct Daoist auras surged forth.

Following the monkey's gaze, everyone saw a figure on the shore.

At the same time, all the great supernatural beings in the entire prehistoric world followed the gaze of the crowd and saw the figure on the shore.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he possessed an imposing presence despite not exuding overwhelming power.
The next moment, everyone's expression changed drastically.

In the Heavenly Court, in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother suddenly stood up, even overturning the table in front of them.

The Jade Emperor stared at the figure below with disbelief in his eyes!
He actually took action himself?

Why is this happening? Why is this happening!

Isn't it unfair to bully the weak in this way?

······
In the Blood Sea and the Styx River, the Styx Ancestor let out a cold snort, turned around with a flick of his sleeve, his face full of anger.

In a battle between beings at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, Haofeng, a being comparable to a saint, actually intervened personally. This was blatant bullying of the weak by the strong!

If we had known that Haofeng was willing to personally participate, there would have been no need to embark on this pilgrimage.

Even if Jieyin and Zhunti had some amazing trump cards, it would be useless if Haofeng personally took action; there was no way to turn the tide.

·······
Amidst the endless chaos, the expressions of the saints also changed.

Especially Jieyin and Zhunti, their faces were half angry and half desperate.

If we're talking about who understands Haofeng's abilities best in the primordial world, these two are definitely the top two.

Haofeng's few moves were mostly to fight against them.

It was precisely because of this that the two realized how terrifying Haofeng's strength was. If Haofeng didn't make a move, with the resources of the pilgrims, the human race would have a hard time stopping them.

But if Haofeng were to make a move, the pilgrims would have absolutely no hope of overcoming this ordeal!
There was not a sliver of hope, even if Haofeng was a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

This is not even a single dimension.

The two exuded immense saintly aura, seemingly poised to attack at any moment. However, sensing the faint threat emanating from the Heavenly Dao, they ultimately refrained from making a move and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although Haofeng is comparable to a saint, he is not a saint after all. He is still within the range that the cycle of reincarnation in the primordial world can bear. He can still walk through the reincarnation channel, be reincarnated and cultivate again, and thus appear on the journey to the West.

But they are different. As saints, and even more so as Heavenly Saints, the Land of Reincarnation simply cannot withstand them. Moreover, their status as Heavenly Saints does not allow them to be reincarnated.

When they decided to make the pact to go on the pilgrimage, the two also considered this point, but in their opinion, the probability of Haofeng intervening was still too low.

It's practically impossible. As one of the most powerful beings in the primordial world, Haofeng should also have his pride.

Therefore, the two made a bet, but unexpectedly, Haofeng actually made a move.

The other sages also had different expressions. Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace frowned, feeling that Haofeng had lost face as a top expert and lacked any of the demeanor of one.

Nuwa and Tongtian were both amused and exasperated, even somewhat gloating. Now, Jieyin and Zhunti were in no way able to escape.

The Sage Taiqing remained calm, as if nothing could affect his emotions.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace chuckled and shook his head. With the cultivation level of this avatar of Fellow Daoist Haofeng, he was more than capable of defeating all quasi-saints in the prehistoric world, yet he was attacking a Taiyi Golden Immortal…
To get back to the main topic, we are in Jambudvipa, on the shore of the Western Sea.

Jiang Haofeng stood calmly, looking at the glorious five-person pilgrimage group before him. He shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and the surrounding world changed. The eight Vajra who had come on orders had already disappeared, and Jiang Haofeng threw them back.

The five members of the pilgrimage group were directly brought before Jiang Haofeng.

This single action caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

The monkey's face was full of solemnity. He stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?"

"No!"

"Wukong, how dare you be rude!"

As soon as the monkey finished speaking, two urgent voices rang out simultaneously, with Tang Sanzang and Marshal Tianpeng speaking at the same time.

Upon hearing this, the monkey was stunned. The identity of the person in front of him seemed to be even greater than he had imagined.

Before the monkey could figure it out, he saw Tang Sanzang and Marshal Tianpeng bowing simultaneously, one after the other:

"This humble monk, Tang Sanzang, greets Senior Haofeng!"

"Junior Tianpeng greets Senior Haofeng!"

The two men were extremely respectful and solemn. Sun Wukong even felt that they had not been so devout when they had previously paid homage to the Buddha.

This person's background is definitely not small; this time, he has probably encountered a truly important figure.

I wonder who is stronger and who is weaker between me and my master?
The monkey couldn't help but think to itself.

Though his mind was racing, the monkey immediately composed himself, bowed, and said, "Junior Sun Wukong greets Senior!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Qilin and Sha Wujing, without further ado, immediately bowed respectfully and said:

"Junior Sha Wujing greets Senior Haofeng!"

"Junior Yu Qilin greets Senior Haofeng!"

Unlike the many calamities they had faced before, this time, as soon as the pilgrims saw Jiang Haofeng, all five of them knelt down and bowed to him.

This is the prestige of Jiang Haofeng as a top power in the prehistoric world!
This is also the dignity of a saint.

All those below a sage are but ants; a sage is invincible, and one must not be disrespectful to a sage!
These three sentences are deeply engraved in the minds of all the immortals who have lived through the era of sages.

Jiang Haofeng gently waved his sleeve, and an irresistible force rose up, instantly helping the five people to their feet. "No need for formalities."

As everyone stood up, Jiang Haofeng's gaze fell on Marshal Tianpeng first, and he shook his head and said, "You are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao and the manifestation of the Heavenly Tribulation. You shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

"As long as you remain in charge of the North Pole Exorcism Hall, no one will make things difficult for you, and the entire prehistoric world will remember your achievements!" (End of Chapter)
