Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 478 The Journey to the West Officially Begins

After leaving the Netherworld, Cundi Buddha Mother led Guanyin Bodhisattva directly towards the Fire Cloud Cave.

After some haggling, the human race finally agreed to accept three-tenths of the merit. This was to ensure they wouldn't participate in Jin Chanzi's reincarnation and would allow him to die a natural death according to his destiny.

As Guanyin Bodhisattva took out half of the merit, her lips twitched repeatedly. She then spoke to the Buddha Mother.

"Buddha Mother, our Buddhist sect now possesses only half its former virtue. Can it truly allow Western Buddhism to flourish?"

In truth, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew better than anyone that asking this question was merely a formality, an expression of her concern for the future of Buddhism.

The Buddha Mother Zhunti sighed and said, "Nowadays, the Heavenly Way is not the only one that is powerful. Moreover, this time the spread of Buddhism to the East will rely on the Earthly Way and the Human Way, so what must be given up must be given up."

"Even if it is only half-full of merit, it is enough for our Buddhism to usher in a great prosperity for a great kalpa. As for whether it will continue to prosper in the next great kalpa, that depends on how you develop Buddhism."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded after hearing this, then bid farewell to Cundi Buddha Mother and returned directly to the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling in the West to report back to the Tathagata Buddha.

The Cundi Buddha Mother did not return directly to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but instead headed towards the East Sea. Before long, she arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain.

Upon arriving at Flower Fruit Mountain, one sees the Spiritual Stone Monkey, who has already taken human form, leading a group of monkey offspring in play.

Seeing that there was no problem, Cundi Buddha Mother was relieved and turned back to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Little did anyone know that right after the Buddha Mother Cundi left, the smile on the face of the playful stone monkey vanished instantly.

Then he turned and headed towards the Water Curtain Cave, saying to the three old monkeys sitting above him, "Brothers, the Buddhists have already left."

Wuzhiqi nodded. "Now that the great calamity of the Journey to the West has officially begun, it's time for us to leave Flower Fruit Mountain."

"But don't worry, we will leave a clone behind to help you at Flower Fruit Mountain. You just need to do as we have arranged before."

Although the Spirit Stone Monkey was somewhat reluctant, he finally nodded, watching his three older brothers disappear before his eyes.

After bowing to the spot where Wuzhiqi and the other two had disappeared, the Spirit Stone Monkey thought to himself, "Don't worry, my three brothers, I will definitely not let you down."

The incarnations left behind by Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong are naturally the Long-Armed Ape and the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey in Flower Fruit Mountain, which are the Marshal Ma Liu and General Bengba appointed by Sun Wukong in the original prehistoric trajectory.

In the original primordial timeline, Marshal Ma Liu and General Beng Ba were originally two individuals: two red-bottomed macaques and two long-armed apes from Flower Fruit Mountain.

However, due to the arrival of the three monkeys from Wuzhiqi, the four old monkeys did not appear on Flower Fruit Mountain.

As for why the four old monkeys didn't appear, the reason was naturally due to Chen Xuan's instructions. Others might not know about the strange behavior of the four old monkeys, but how could Chen Xuan not know?
He's just an old monkey from the mountains, without even the slightest bit of cultivation. Yet he knows many things that are unknown to others, which makes people extremely suspicious.

It can be said that the four old monkeys were involved in Sun Wukong's rampages in the Dragon Palace and the Underworld. They even secretly facilitated Sun Wukong's journey to the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and the Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

Therefore, a later theory suggests that these four old monkeys were arranged by the Western Buddhist sect to guide Sun Wukong along a predetermined path.

So the four old monkeys didn't just disappear; they were killed by Wuzhiqi and his group in Flower Fruit Mountain.

Of course, Wuzhiqi and his group wouldn't act personally; instead, they used the Dragon Clan to make the four old monkeys a snack for the Dragon Clan. The Western Buddhist sects also dared not confront the Dragon Clan, as the matter was far from honorable. They truly dared not confront them directly.

Most importantly, the Buddha had no intention of pursuing the matter. He simply dismissed it with the phrase, "Heaven has its own arrangements."

As for the Six-Eared Macaque, in the original prehistoric timeline, he went to the Western Paradise after the fall of Beihai City. Later, during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, he caused Sun Wukong considerable trouble.

Some even say that the one who was killed was Sun Wukong, and the one who went on the pilgrimage was the Six-Eared Macaque. But these things are no longer important, because that scene can never happen again.

The clone of the Six-Eared Macaque that remained by the side of the Spiritual Stone Monkey became the Spiritual Stone Monkey's strategist. The four brothers appeared to be separated, but in reality, they always stayed together.

However, these three avatars never claimed to be the original. Everything they did was to help the Spiritual Stone Monkey develop Flower Fruit Mountain, as if they had no memory of the original.

The intelligent stone monkey naturally knew that the Six-Eared Macaque and his companions did this because they were worried about being discovered by those with ulterior motives.

And so, the Spiritual Stone Monkey stayed on Flower Fruit Mountain for three hundred years. Apart from secretly cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, he spent his days playing with a group of monkeys.

On this day, an old monkey died in front of the Spirit Stone Monkey. The Spirit Stone Monkey knew that what was coming had finally arrived.

He was incredibly heartbroken at the time and declared that he would find a way to achieve immortality for his monkey descendants. Then he resolutely set sail.

Everything on Flower Fruit Mountain was naturally under the watchful eyes of various forces. Therefore, the departure of the Spiritual Stone Monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain naturally brought a sigh of relief to many people.

The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sects, in particular, were overjoyed. After all, they had always been worried that Taoist disciples would interfere.

Seeing that the Taoist disciples hadn't made a move, I finally felt relieved.

The Supreme God of Heaven—no, he should now be called the Jade Emperor.

After the Investiture of the Gods ended, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West obtained the Primordial Purple Qi and began a new round of cultivation.

The cultivation methods of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were created by Hongjun in a special world, allowing them to reincarnate within that world.

It went through 1,750 kalpas, each lasting 129,600 years, for a total of about 226,800,000 years.

Of course, the time acceleration in that special world is different from that in the primordial world. Two hundred and twenty-six million eight hundred thousand years is only a few hundred years in the primordial world.

When the two returned, they had successfully attained sainthood. The Jade Emperor was renamed the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, the Supreme Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable of Forgiveness, the Supreme Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Mysterious Vault, the Supreme Jade Emperor. He is also known as the Jade Emperor.

The Queen Mother of the West was also renamed the Queen Mother of the West, but this Queen Mother of the West is not the same as the Queen Mother of the West.

Moreover, in their final incarnation during their tribulations, they had seven daughters. These daughters were also taken to the Heavenly Court by them and became the Seventh Princess of Heaven.

Seeing that the Spiritual Stone Monkey had already set sail, the Jade Emperor said to the Queen Mother of the West, "The monkey has set sail; it's time to have General Curtain-Raising and Marshal Tianpeng prepare." (End of Chapter)
