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

In the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling in the West, the Buddha Tathagata said, "The Venerable Guanyin has sent back a message that the Chan Sect is being unreasonable and will not let things go easily. This matter will probably not be resolved peacefully."

"But the journey to the west is crucial to the great prosperity of our Buddhist sect, and we cannot allow any mishaps. Now, we can only send someone to fight against the Chan Sect and rescue Tang Sanzang and his party."

Seeing that the Buddha was about to take action, Manjushri Bodhisattva couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. After all, this was the result that his sect wanted.

However, a troubled expression appeared on his face, and he said to the Buddha, "Buddha, this matter requires careful consideration."

"If we were to go to war with the Chan Sect directly, the journey to the west would become even more difficult. The Chan Sect would definitely make things difficult for us at every turn, and might even try to stop us from going west."

The Buddha waved his hand and said, "I have my own plan for this matter. Our Buddhist sect may not need to take action personally to accomplish this task."

After saying this, he directly said to Venerable Ananda beside him, "The Bull Demon King and his companions have entered my Buddhist sect but have not accomplished anything. Let them handle this matter."

Venerable Ananda acknowledged the order and turned to leave the adults' quarters. He then proceeded to convey the Buddha's teachings to the Bull Demon King and his companions.

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King was drinking with his brothers, including the Flood Dragon Demon King. Although the table was laden with delicacies, his face lacked its usual smile.

Lion Camel King went even further, saying, "Thinking back to the days in Flower Fruit Mountain, that was true happiness. I wonder when I'll be able to drink and chat with Seventh Brother again."

Mentioning Sun Wukong, the brothers couldn't help but sigh. Just then, Venerable Ananda stepped in from outside.

And he directly said, "The Buddha has decreed that the Bull Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Roc Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Yu Rong King go to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain to rescue Tang Sanzang and his disciples."

As they spoke, a golden light flew into the Bull Demon King's hand; it was the decree given to them by the Buddha.

Upon receiving the Buddha's decree, the Bull Demon King already knew its contents. A hint of joy couldn't help but appear on his face.

He spoke directly, saying, "Finally, we brothers have a chance to prove ourselves. Let's go and meet those useless trash from the Chan Sect."

After saying that, he flashed away, already fully armored and carrying a mixed iron cudgel, and strode out.

The other four demon kings also wore smiles, after all, they were finally able to see their beloved brothers-in-law.

The five demon kings did not head directly to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain. Instead, they returned to their respective caves, gathered their demon soldiers and generals, and then marched in a grand procession towards Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Meanwhile, Zhenyuan Daxian was arranging his next plan. He was just waiting for Qinglian Island to send people to attack Wanshou Mountain, so that they could proceed according to plan and recall the Chan Sect disciples who had been scattered abroad.

Little did they know, the Demon Master Kunpeng had already led a million demon soldiers from the Northern Sea toward Longevity Mountain. Accompanying him were the four great demon saints: Bai Ze, Ji Meng, Jiu Ying, and Gui Che.

And when they reached a thousand miles away from Longevity Mountain, they encountered the Bull Demon King and the other five great demon kings.

It turns out that the Buddha's decree to the Bull Demon King contained a special instruction: that they should join forces with the demon master Kunpeng to occupy the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

So after the two sides met and discussed the matter, the five great demon kings, including the Bull Demon King, took the lead and headed directly towards the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Demon Master Kunpeng led the four Demon Saints close behind, waiting to blend in before seizing the opportunity to take over Longevity Mountain.

Meanwhile, the Queen Mother of the West on Qinglian Island had received news from the demon master Kunpeng. She and Ao Ping, along with Sun Wukong, headed directly towards Longevity Mountain.

...Above the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, demonic clouds obscured the sun. The Bull Demon King, leading the four great demon kings and thousands of demon soldiers, arrayed in front, shouting, "Old man Zhenyuan, quickly release the pilgrim, or I will raze Longevity Mountain to the ground today!"

Zhenyuan Daxian led his disciples out of the temple gate. Guangchengzi, holding the Heaven-Turning Seal, sneered, "How dare you, a mere creature with fur and horns, cause trouble at the Chan Sect's dojo?"

Before he finished speaking, the Peng Demon King revealed his true form as a golden-winged roc, his wings spreading wide to blot out the sky, and his sharp claws aimed straight for Guang Chengzi's face.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, a long howl suddenly echoed from the sky. There came the demon master Kunpeng riding on the Northern Dark Water, with the four demon saints behind him each displaying their supernatural powers.

"Not good!" Zhenyuan Daxian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly summoned the Heavenly Dao Banner to block the towering waves.

Guang Chengzi unleashed the Heaven-Turning Seal at Kunpeng, but it was easily caught by the Demon Master's Palace, which was summoned by the Demon Master.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West and Ao Ping had quietly arrived at the battlefield clouds. However, they did not participate in the battle, but quietly watched from mid-air.

He then said to Sun Wukong beside him, "First, bring Tang Sanzang and the others out of Longevity Mountain. What happens here is no longer something you can get involved in."

Sun Wukong nodded, then transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Longevity Mountain. He then spoke to Pigsy in the Taiji diagram, saying, "Pigsy, now is the time."

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's voice, Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "Alright!"

The next moment, the golden bridge suddenly shone brightly. Pigsy activated all his magic power, and the Taiji diagram transformed into a golden bridge that crashed directly into the protective array of Longevity Mountain.

Breaking any protective mountain formation from the outside is difficult, but breaking it from the inside is relatively easy. Moreover, what's more, Pigsy is controlling the Taiji Diagram, a supreme treasure from the creation of the world.

A deafening roar resounded, and the protective array around the mountain trembled violently. Then it collapsed, exposing the entire Longevity Mountain to the sight of countless demons.

Zhenyuan Daxian's expression shifted constantly, but he was unable to extricate himself from setting up the great formation again. This was because the Demon Master Kunpeng had already arrived close and completely entangled him.

Guang Chengzi and other disciples of the Chan Sect were surrounded by the four great demon saints and the demons of the Northern Sea.

In an instant, the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain became an unguarded place. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Bull Demon King led his troops directly into Longevity Mountain.

Just then, the benevolent incarnation of the Old Ancestor Hongyun finally arrived. He was about to help Zhenyuan Daxian defeat the demon master Kunpeng, but was stopped by Zhenyuan Daxian.

"We must not allow these creatures, which are covered in fur and horns and born from wet eggs, to desecrate my Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain. Fellow Daoist, Longevity Mountain is now in your hands."

The benevolent avatar of the Red Cloud Ancestor nodded and headed directly towards Longevity Mountain, intending to drive away the Bull Demon King and other demons who had stormed into the mountain.

At the same time, Zhenyuan Daxian finally succeeded in issuing the order to summon the disciples of the Chan Sect. In an instant, countless disciples of the Chan Sect headed towards Wanshou Mountain.

Even Manjushri Bodhisattva of Buddhism and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool left Mount Ling at the first opportunity, leading the original disciples of the Chan Sect toward Longevity Mountain.

The evil corpse incarnation of Zhen Yuanzi in the Heavenly Court also led all the disciples of the Chan Sect on the Investiture of the Gods out of the South Heavenly Gate and headed towards Longevity Mountain.

Seeing that his plan had finally succeeded, but at a great cost, Zhenyuan Daxian couldn't help but sigh. (End of Chapter)
