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

Yuan Futong shook his head and said, "Master doesn't have the energy to take on any more disciples. Is it our eldest grand-uncle who's going to take the Bull Demon King and the others as disciples this time?"

Upon hearing Yuan Futong mention their grandmaster, Sun Wukong immediately asked, "If I remember correctly, our grandmaster should be Daoist Duobao."

"But I've been on Qinglian Island for so long, and I've never seen my eldest master. It's said that he's been in seclusion. Could it be that he's finally come out of seclusion?"

Yuan Futong smiled and said, "The one who is in seclusion on Qinglian Island is merely your grandmaster's physical body. Your grandmaster's true spirit has already entered the cycle of reincarnation."

"Now, the true spirit of the eldest master has been reincarnated several times and has become the Buddha of the Western Buddhist sect."

The Six-Eared Macaque's words were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone present stunned. Even Sun Wukong could hardly believe his ears.

The fact that the Six-Eared Macaque dared to say such things in public meant he had received instructions from Chen Xuan. Furthermore, the secrets of Flower Fruit Mountain had now been completely shielded from Chen Xuan.

Not to mention that Yuan Futong exposed the identity of the Buddha, even if the Buddha himself came to the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain, no one could sense him in the slightest.

After a long while, everyone came to their senses. Yu Rongwang even asked directly, "Brother, the Buddha is the founder of Buddhism, what is his heart...?"

King Yu Rong only uttered half of his words before swallowing them back. After all, based on his understanding, could the Buddha, now in such a high position, still maintain his original intentions?
However, he couldn't say it directly, so he only said half of it before turning his gaze to Yuan Futong.

Yuan Futong naturally knew what Yu Rongwang was thinking, and said directly, "Once you become disciples of Qinglian Island, you will understand the reason behind this."

"Don't even mention a Buddha from the Buddhist sect. Even if one day my senior uncle becomes a representative of Buddhism and Taoism, his heart will still be on Qinglian Island, not in the West."

One cannot feel the charm of Qinglian Island without joining it. Once one becomes a disciple of Qinglian Island, one will develop a great sense of belonging.

This sense of belonging naturally came from Chen Xuan, after all, in front of Chen Xuan, even Hongjun was nothing more than a clay chicken and a tile dog.

Chen Xuan not only plans for the future of his disciples, but unlike Hongjun, he doesn't try to take anything from them. He gives without reservation.

With such a powerful backer, who would be willing to forget their original aspirations? If someone actually did that, what difference would there be between them and a fool?

However, the Bull Demon King and his companions do not understand the reasoning behind this now. But they will understand everything when they begin to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique.

Immediately, Wuzhiqi waved his hand, and five golden lights shot out and entered the sea of ​​consciousness of the five great demon kings, including the Bull Demon King.

Yuan Hong waved his hand again, and piled up a small mountain of things like yellow plums, ginseng fruits, and nine-turn golden pills.

"These were prepared for you by your three grandmasters, after all, you don't have much time left. If you rely solely on comprehension to improve your cultivation without the support of magic power, you may not be able to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal level after the Journey to the West calamity ends."

Looking at the spiritual fruits and elixirs before them, the five great sages, including the Bull Demon King, almost shed tears of excitement. After all, since they had taken human form, when had they ever seen such rare and precious treasures?

Even the peaches of immortality were something they wouldn't have dared to dream of before meeting Sun Wukong. Let alone the Yellow Plum and the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.

At this moment, Yuan Futong spoke again, saying, "Whether it's Huangzhong Li or the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, both can raise your cultivation to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level without any side effects." "However, I don't want you to rely on such methods to improve your cultivation. After all, whether it's pills or spiritual fruits, they are ultimately external things and cannot compare to one's own enlightenment."

"Therefore, these spiritual fruits and pills are only for replenishing your mana during cultivation. They are not for you to use to directly increase your cultivation level."

When Yuan Futong uttered these words, the jaws of the several demon sages present nearly dropped. Using Yellow Plum and Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to aid cultivation—such extravagance was probably unmatched anywhere else but on Qinglian Island.

This also made them understand to some extent why they felt a sense of belonging once they joined Qinglian Island. After all, who would be willing to give up such treatment and benefits?

Just then, a gate to the underworld appeared directly in the Water Curtain Cave. A sage then emerged from the gate—none other than the Time Ancestral Witch, Zhu Jiuyin.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhu Jiuyin, while also saying "Greetings, Sage!"

Zhu Jiuyin waved his hand and helped everyone up, saying, "I have come here on behalf of my sister Houtu."

"We must utilize the Great Dao's Law of Time to manifest the River of Time within the Water Curtain Cave. This will allow you to cultivate within the River of Time so that you may reach the Primordial Golden Immortal realm before the Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West begins."

As he spoke, Zhu Jiuyin waved his hand, and the River of Time appeared in the Water Curtain Cave. At the same time, he directly pulled the Bull Demon King and the other five Great Sages into the River of Time.

Then even Wuzhiqi leaped up and entered the River of Time, taking charge of personally instructing the five great sages, including the Bull Demon King, in their cultivation.

After everything was arranged, Zhu Jiuyin said, "This River of Time will exist for five hundred years, and after five hundred years it will naturally disappear."

"Although it's only five hundred years, it will give them five eons of cultivation time. That should be enough."

After saying this, Zhu Jiuyin was about to take his leave, but Sun Wukong stopped him. Sun Wukong then told Zhu Jiuyin about Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian's impending reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin nodded. "In that case, let me take them to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to see Sister Houtu."

"However, monkey, you should tell me first how you want them to reincarnate. Otherwise, I won't know how to explain it to Houtu."

After pondering for a moment, Sun Wukong said to Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian, "I intend to let you two reincarnate into the demon race. I wonder if you two are willing?"

Marshal Tianpeng knew that his original destiny was to be reincarnated as a wild boar spirit. Although he felt some repulsion towards it, he understood Sun Wukong's meaning.

After all, the cultivation speed of the demon race is far faster than that of other races. And the time left for them is running out.

So she nodded without hesitation, "I'll do whatever Brother Hou says. Even if I have to become a pig, I won't find it unacceptable."

The Curtain-Rolling General beside him nodded in agreement, offering no objections. This prompted Sun Wukong to chuckle and pat the two men on the shoulder.

"Go then, someone will surely come to teach you and help you become true Great Luo Golden Immortals." (End of Chapter)
