I am a fairy in Journey to the West
Chapter 590 Celestial Saint Ancestor
On this day, after Zhuang Yan finished drinking Wei Xian's wedding wine, he left Liuhe Village. Suddenly, the sky changed and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared.
Zhuang Yan noticed this strange change and immediately looked up. He saw fairy flowers falling from the sky and countless drops of sweet rain nourishing all things.
The Western Niuhe Continent, which had been in chaos for more than twenty years, was instantly restored to much of its vitality thanks to the nourishment of these celestial flowers and sweet rain.
At this time, mountain gods, water gods, and earth gods from all over the world began to come out to collect spiritual energy and store it in the earth's veins.
The benefit of this is that it enhances the power of the earth's veins, which means it contains the earth's vital energy. No matter how chaotic the world becomes in the future, or how barren the land may be for a time, it can quickly recover in the future.
This is the role of the gods. They have no responsibility to mortals and living beings; they are merely part of assisting the Jade Emperor in operating the rules of heaven and earth.
The birth, aging, sickness, and death of mortal beings have nothing to do with them. Although they receive offerings from the human world, they are not responsible for the lives of human beings.
Amidst this strange phenomenon, a ethereal and profound aura soared straight into the sky.
A moment later, an ethereal voice resounded throughout the Yama-fu Great World: "I am the Heavenly Immortal Jade Maiden Bixia Yuanjun. Today, I have created the 'Qingling Hunyuan Dao' to unify all the different methods and practices of the past, to rectify the source and bring them all to one, so that those within the Three Realms and below who have the affinity for immortality may learn it."
As Bixia Yuanjun's voice spread throughout the world, boundless merits descended from the heavens upon her.
In that instant, the Daoist aura emanating from Bixia Yuanjun soared and rose, covering the heavens.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhuang Yan immediately checked the celestial secrets and was surprised to find that Bixia Yuanjun had actually attained the title of 'Hun Yuan'.
Although her cultivation level is still that of a Celestial Immortal, she is the only 'Primordial Celestial Immortal'.
As Bixia Yuanjun attained the position of Hunyuan Tianxian, those strange phenomena in the heavens and earth quickly subsided.
At the same time, a heavenly gate opened in the upper heaven, and a group of heavenly soldiers and generals and a group of celestial fairies escorted a golden chariot down and stopped in front of Bixia Yuanjun.
The leading celestial official proclaimed: "By imperial decree of the Jade Emperor, the celestial maiden Bixia Yuanjun has opened the way for all living beings, and her merits are immeasurable. She is hereby granted a golden chariot to escort her to the Jade Capital."
Bixia Yuanjun bowed deeply and expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable." Then, accompanied by a group of celestial maidens, she boarded a golden chariot and ascended to the mortal realm.
Afterwards, Bixia Yuanjun entered the Jade Capital to pay homage to the Jade Emperor, who bestowed upon her the title of 'Celestial Saint Ancestor Bixia Yuanjun'.
From then on, the "Qingling Hunyuan Dao" created by Bixia Yuanjun spread widely throughout the Three Realms and was incorporated into the scriptures of Taoism, Buddhism, Xuanjiao, and Fanjiao, becoming the Taoist practice cultivated by most beings in the Three Realms before they became immortals.
Because the "Qingling Hunyuan Dao" is a Daoist method evolved by Bixia Yuanjun after integrating various Daoist methods currently circulating, clarifying the original source, deleting miscellaneous theories, and refining the essence, it is completely suitable for cultivation by all schools and independent cultivators, and is compatible with any living being with a predestined affinity for immortality.
This merit is naturally immense, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a 'Holy Ancestor' by cultivators in the Three Realms.
Zhuang Yan took a step and was already back at the Lingtai Dao Palace on Buzhou Mountain.
Bixia Yuanjun's exposition of Taoism was successful. She went to Heaven to pay homage to the Jade Emperor and received an imperial decree. She will surely come back to pay homage to me, the Great Emperor of Shenxiao.
Zhuang Yan naturally couldn't linger outside any longer. It was foreseeable that after this enlightenment, Bixia Yuanjun would become the Holy Ancestor of cultivators in the Three Realms, and would be a pivotal figure for tens of thousands of years to come. Of course, Zhuang Yan had to give her face.
As Zhuang Yan had expected, after paying homage to the Jade Emperor in the Great Luo Heaven, Bixia Yuanjun returned to the mortal realm and immediately came to see Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan ordered the Fire Spirit True Immortal to prepare a banquet in his honor. At the banquet, he observed the aura emanating from Bixia Yuanjun, whose magnificent presence rivaled that of a Great Awakening Golden Immortal.
“Sages emerge in every generation of the Three Realms, each leading the way for thousands of years.” Zhuang Yan laughed and said, “From now on, all cultivators in the Three Realms must address Fellow Daoist Bixia as ‘Holy Ancestor’.”
Bixia Yuanjun laughed and said, "Divine Emperor Shenxiao is too kind. I have only gathered the strengths of many schools and discarded the dross. I dare not accept such a generous reward."
Zhuang Yan smiled, and then talked with Bixia Yuanjun about topics such as the Dao. After the banquet, Bixia Yuanjun got up to take her leave.
Zhuang Yan ordered the Fire Spirit Immortal to escort him all the way out of the gates of Buzhou Mountain.
After Bixia Yuanjun returned to her Lingxia Dao Mansion, Manjushri Bodhisattva of Buddhism, Yuding Zhenren of Xuanjiao, and Indra of Brahma all came to congratulate her.
Bixia Yuanjun hosted a banquet in the temple, and the three families presented Bixia Yuanjun with various celestial treasures to praise her merits in expounding the Tao.
Over the years, Bixia Yuanjun has been focused on expounding the Tao and was unaware of the great calamity in Xiniu Hezhou. It was only at today's banquet, when Manjushri Bodhisattva and Indra confronted each other, that Bixia Yuanjun learned about the current situation in Xiniu Hezhou.
Because of a scheme orchestrated by Buddhism, several sages of the Brahma religion died, Murugan was stripped of his sage status, and Shiva's wife Parvati also perished.
This truly dealt a heavy blow to Brahma. Murugan and the dead sages were relatively easy to deal with; although it caused some damage to Brahma, it did not fundamentally harm it.
Parvati's death directly damaged the foundation, as the original fortune of Vaticanism was weakened by 30% after her death.
This led to numerous setbacks in the infiltration and attacks of Buddhism by Brahmanism in the human world, allowing Buddhism to gain a foothold in Central and Western India, consolidate its strength, and strengthen its defenses.
Although North India, South India, and East India have all fallen, and the entire continent of Aparagodaniya has been covered by the power of Brahma and Mara, their original plan to quickly destroy Buddhism has failed.
Later, Buddhism merged Central India and Western India into the Kingdom of India, and the Five Great Indias disappeared from then on. But let's not forget that the Great Emperor of the Western Peak still owes Buddhism a favor.
If it weren't for Guanyin Bodhisattva and Zhunti Bodhisattva pleading for the Third Holy Mother, she would have been executed long ago. In particular, the Buddhist community paid the price of Zhunti Bodhisattva leaving Buddhism to become a local mountain god.
Therefore, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak directly transferred one of the ten major earth veins of Xiniu Hezhou to the underground of Tianzhu Kingdom, and also gave the King of Tianzhu Kingdom a human emperor's fortune.
As a result, the fortune of the Brahma religion declined by 30%, while the fortune of the Buddhist religion increased by 30%. Therefore, the power of the Brahma religion was completely unable to enter India, and could only watch helplessly as the Buddhist religion secured their last piece of Buddhist land in Xiniuhezhou.
However, although both sides were speaking with hidden barbs, they still maintained a sense of propriety, after all, this was Bixia Yuanjun's territory.
Although Bixia Yuanjun saw it all, she did not want to get involved.
She had experienced it once before in Dongsheng Shenzhou, which resulted in heavy losses for Dongyue Shenfu. She also disliked fighting and killing, and the struggle for power.
The situation in Xiniu Hezhou will definitely become more chaotic. Teaching disciples and spreading the Dharma to the world on this Shanhaizhou is what she should and is willing to do.
Time flies, and eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiniuhezhou, at the foot of Lingtai Mountain.
Eighteen-year-old Liu Chenxiang was taking a nap when she was suddenly awakened by a nightmare and screamed as she woke up from her bed.
Liu Yanchang, who was weaving lanterns outside, rushed in and asked, "Chenxiang, what's wrong?"
Liu Chenxiang, panting heavily with tears in her eyes, looked at Liu Yanchang and said, "Father, I just had a nightmare."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang laughed and said, "What man is afraid of nightmares?"
Liu Chenxiang said, "No, Father, I dreamed that my mother was captured by some people wearing golden helmets and armor, who said they would behead her. In the end, she was suppressed under a big mountain."
At this point, Liu Chenxiang stood up and walked to Liu Yanchang, saying, "Father, didn't you say my mother died a long time ago? But my dream was so vivid, I even heard my mother calling me."
After saying this, Liu Chenxiang grabbed Liu Yanchang and asked, "Father, did my mother really die of illness? Then where is her grave?"
It took Liu Yanchang a lot of effort to calm Liu Chenxiang down, and he promised to take Liu Chenxiang to his mother's grave when he had some free time in a couple of days.
But what he didn't know was that the nightmare Liu Chenxiang had just had would repeat itself continuously for a long time to come.
Meanwhile, inside the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave on Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai Mountain.
The two boys, Xianyun and Guhe, were sitting under a tree brewing tea, while Zhuang Yan and Bodhi Patriarch were chatting idly nearby. Sun Wukong was watching the younger generation cultivate on the front mountain.
Just then, Zhuang Yan, who was chatting with Patriarch Bodhi, suddenly turned his gaze toward the foot of Lingtai Mountain.
Seeing his expression, Bodhi Patriarch asked, "What is it?"
Zhuang Yan frowned slightly, then said, "Someone has manipulated the secrets of heaven, recreating the events of eighteen years ago in Liu Chenxiang's dream."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi immediately calculated with his fingers. After a long while, he shook his head and said uncertainly, "It seems that someone has indeed interfered with the secrets of heaven, but this person's cultivation is too profound, and it is really difficult to see through it."
Zhuang Yan didn't speak, but used 'Search Heavenly Secrets' to check, and was surprised to find that although this person had manipulated heavenly secrets, he hadn't left any trace.
If it weren't for his own 'golden finger' power, he probably wouldn't have noticed that someone had manipulated the secrets of heaven just now. Although he doesn't know who it was, he has finally detected a trace of their actions.
“There are many powerful beings in the Three Realms, but few can manipulate the secrets of heaven without leaving a trace,” said Patriarch Bodhi. “Now, he is manipulating the secrets of the Third Holy Mother. What does he intend to do with Liu Chenxiang?”
Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Currently, the situation in Xiniu Hezhou is a three-way standoff. The Buddhist sect is trapped in a corner of Tianzhu Kingdom. Originally, the Brahma sect and the Buddhist demons joined forces to attack the Buddhist sect, but in the past ten years or so, there have been conflicts between the two sides. At this time, he reminded Liu Chenxiang, which seems to be his intention to stir up trouble in Xiniu Hezhou."
“That makes sense,” said Patriarch Bodhi. “If you think about it carefully, Liu Chenxiang should have a grudge against both sides. The Buddhist sect used his family to scheme against the Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist sect also used his family to scheme against the Buddhist sect. They were both using his family. So the tragedy of the Third Holy Mother was caused by her desire to enter the mortal world, and secondly by being used by both the Buddhist sect and the Buddhist sect.”
Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, you've forgotten about Yi Fang."
"Oh?" Patriarch Bodhi asked, "Which other side is there?"
Zhuang Yan said, "The Heavenly Court, or the Heavenly Court of the Mortal Realm Jade Palace, you should know that the Third Holy Mother was suppressed by order of my Mortal Realm Jade Palace. Even if Liu Chenxiang cannot find the Mortal Realm Jade Palace for the time being, he will definitely cause trouble for the Western Mountain Divine Palace."
Bodhi Patriarch's eyes flashed and he said, "It seems that this person has great ambitions. He wants to use Liu Chenxiang to break the existing pattern of Xiniu Hezhou, stir up the waters, and make Xiniu Hezhou even more chaotic."
Zhuang Yan said, "But it's also possible that it's not some powerful being orchestrating this behind the scenes, but rather an inevitable variable that will appear as the great calamity of Xiniu Hezhou evolves to a certain point."
Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly and looked at Zhuang Yan, saying, "In that case, the situation in Xiniu Hezhou is hard to predict."
Zhuang Yan smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's alright. All things in the world are within my sight and under my control. No one can overturn the heavens!" (End of this chapter)
