Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Sun Wukong: "Old Sun has thought of a possibility—in the world of the two True Lords, the journey to the West has already ended, right?"

Yang Jian: "That's right. Sun Wukong has long since become the Fighting Buddha."

Erlang Shen: "It's the same on my end."

Sun Wukong: "I remember, Daojun said that after the journey to the West, Buddhism and Taoism flourished, the Heavenly Court's fortune declined, and it was no longer the ruler of heaven and earth. Yang Chan has run into trouble; she's fallen for a mortal."

Perhaps it was a scheme by Heaven to weaken the authority and majesty of the Heavenly Court.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Wow, Great Sage, you're so clever! That makes sense now. The Heavenly Laws represent the authority of Heaven and Earth, the majesty of the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Laws are changed, the Heavenly Court..."

The dominant position changed. No wonder the Queen Mother was reincarnated in the end. It seems she knew the Heavenly Court's power was waning and needed to avoid trouble in the cycle of reincarnation.

Sun Wukong: "Of course I'm smart. So you think I'm just a fool?"

Jin Chanzi: "Otherwise what? Aren't you always the one being outmaneuvered?"

Sun Wukong: "You old monk, stop talking nonsense! Why do you keep bringing up those annoying things?"

Yang Jian: "Great Sage's words have enlightened me. It seems that simply taking away the Lotus Lantern will not prevent what happened."

Erlang Shen: "So there was such a scheme involved. As for me—my eventual death in battle would be a great loss of face and dignity for the Heavenly Court."

The court's dominant position has changed.

Xiao Yan'er: "I never imagined that the ancient love story was caused by the rise of Buddhism and Taoism and the decline of the Heavenly Court. Give me back my love story! Another childhood illusion shattered."

The.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Stop talking. The True Lord is already annoyed to death. You're just watching the show. Aren't you going to think of a solution?"

Xiao Yan'er: "What can I do? This is the natural order of things. Can I go against the will of heaven?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Okay, you're still too weak. You don't have that kind of strength."

Xiao Yan'er: "I know I'm weak, but don't say it out loud. [Frustrated]"

Erlang Shen: "What should we do now?"

Yang Jian: "That's exactly what I wanted to ask. I don't care whether the Heavenly Court is the ruler or not. The key is that my sister cannot become a victim of the Heavenly Dao's plan."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Brother Taixuan, what do you think?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Actually, I've encountered this before. You know about Lao Tzu's conversion of barbarians into Buddha, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "I know. But isn't that a trope from fantasy novels?"

Zhang Taixuan: "They're all pretty much the same; the same trick can be used here too. As long as the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are shameless, they can directly offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and have themselves appointed as the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

"Ancestor, the Mother of All Buddhas!"

Zhang Taixuan: "In this way, Buddhism will also flourish, and its fortune will not be lost."

Yang Jian: "This...this method is indeed very good. However, I estimate that neither the Queen Mother nor the Jade Emperor will adopt it, nor will the Taoist immortals. This is a struggle for the orthodox lineage; once this is used..."

This method would likely lead the Taoist immortals to rebel against the Heavenly Court and fight against it.

Erlang Shen: "Indeed. To transform oneself into a Buddha and directly occupy the highest position in Buddhism is a brilliant plan. However, it would be too humiliating for the Heavenly Court. Moreover, it also..."

It would shake the very foundations of the Heavenly Court. Ninety percent of the gods in the Heavenly Court are Taoist immortals. If the ruler of the Heavenly Court becomes the ancestor of all Buddhas, what are they still doing in the Heavenly Court?

Su Xiaoxiao: "Wait a minute, Brother Taixuan, you said you could just declare yourself the Ancestor of All Buddhas, but that's too illogical, isn't it?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That's normal. The Heavenly Court still holds the authority over Heaven and Earth and has the right to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth; secondly, Buddha is only one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions, and the Heavenly Emperor and Queen Mother hold different positions."

"He is naturally superior to him, so it is perfectly reasonable for him to bestow his position upon him."

Xiao Yan'er: "That seems to be true. It's a pity that this method is destined to fail. 357 is a shame."

Yang Jian: "May I ask, my lord, is there any other way?"

Zhang Taixuan: "How does the strength of your Heavenly Court compare to that of Mount Ling?"

Yang Jian: "If the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor join the battle, the Heavenly Court will be able to overpower Mount Ling."

Su Xiaoxiao: "That's not right, is it? I remember there's a Laozi in Heaven?"

Zhang Taixuan: "The Laozi you're talking about, is it the Laozi of the primordial era, or the Laozi of some other world?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Different?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course they're different. In the primordial world, Laozi is a sage, so his combat abilities are naturally very strong. In Yang Jian's world, Laozi isn't a sage; he's just an ordinary Taiyi Immortal."

He wasn't a fighting immortal either; his combat power wasn't that terrifying, and he couldn't change the course of the battle.

Su Xiaoxiao: "Ah, that's too lame."

Zhang Taixuan: "You laugh. You think others are inferior? Wait until you reach their level and your combat power is on par with theirs before you talk."

Su Xiaoxiao: "With so many supernatural abilities, how could I not beat him? He's not a saint!"

Xiao Yan'er: "Does having more supernatural abilities guarantee victory?"

Yang Jian: "Although Laozi's strength cannot determine the outcome of the battle, he is still one of the top figures in the Three Realms and should not be underestimated, Miss Su."

P.S.: I had insomnia last night and couldn't get up during the day, so I slept in a little late, but I still made it past midnight.

Chapter 517 Division and Collapse, The Little Western Paradise Plan (5/5, Please Subscribe)

Su Xiaoxiao: "Looks like I need to find a time to prove my abilities."

Xiao Yan'er: "Su Xiaoxiao: Brother Taixuan, save me!"

Ye Hei: "Are you guys trying to make me laugh to death here?"

Xiaomai: "Su Xiaoxiao is actually capable of doing something like that. She's arrogant one minute and then screams for help the next."

Hu Yifei: "Isn't this just like a certain immortal king?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "That's enough, I won't!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Alright, let's get down to business! Actually, this matter is quite simple to resolve—just divide the Western Heaven's fortune in two. Back then, Laozi was able to transform the barbarians..."

For the sake of Buddha, the separation of Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism extinguished the hope of its great revival in the West. Today, of course, it is permissible to separate them again.

Yang Jian: "This matter is probably not easy. If we want to divide it, at least someone needs to bear the fortune of the Western Paradise, right? If they are too weak, they will be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

Erlang Shen: "That's right. To share in the Western Heaven's fortune, one needs at least the strength of a Golden Immortal."

Zhang Taixuan: "Isn't Erlang Zhenjun a very good choice?"

Yang Jian: "Me? I am the Heavenly Court's God of Justice."

Zhang Taixuan: "If you don't go, which Golden Immortal in Heaven can step up?"

Yang Jian: "Difficult, difficult, difficult! Everyone here has their own divine duties, so it's impossible for them to oppose the Western Paradise over this matter."

Zhang Taixuan: "Yes. Therefore, only you can carry out this task of dividing the Western Paradise."

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course, if you don't want this method, there is another way to save your sister."

Yang Jian: "May I ask, sir, what is your method?"

Zhang Taixuan: "A calamity of gods and immortals! Triggering a calamity of gods and immortals will directly overturn the table and reshuffle the deck of the Three Realms."

Erlang Shen: "Wouldn't this lead to widespread suffering and death?"

Yang Jian: "This plan is not good. If we just flip the table, who knows how many gods and mortals will die."

Su Xiaoxiao: "This method is too terrifying, Brother Taixuan, can't you think of a gentler way?"

Xiao Yan'er: "Why didn't Brother Taixuan think of a gentler way? Look, wasn't the method of dividing the Western Paradise before quite gentle? It only divided the power of Heaven and Earth into three parts, the Heavenly Court and the Spiritual Realm."

With the mountains, the new forces, and the three powers standing in a tripartite balance, the world will no longer be in turmoil.

Su Xiaoxiao: "I think, True Lord, you should choose the method of dividing the Western Paradise."

Ye Hei: "Indeed, this is the safest method."

Yang Jian: "But I am a Taoist general. It would be too strange for me to become a Buddha."

Zhang Taixuan: "It's alright. Gods can manifest in countless forms. You are Erlang Shen in Taoism and Guangming Tianzun in Buddhism. That makes perfect sense."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Wait a minute, isn't the Celestial Venerable a member of the Taoist sect?"

Zhang Taixuan: "No, in Taoism, the Three Pure Ones are called Heavenly Venerables, and in the West, Buddha can also be called Heavenly Venerable."

Su Xiaoxiao: "I see."

Yang Jian: "In that case, I must ask you, Daoist, how should this plan be implemented?"

Zhang Taixuan: "You can secretly discuss this with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and have them bestow upon you the title of 'Bright Venerable of Buddhism,' to establish a Pure Land of Merit in the West and to divide the Western Heaven's fortune. Of course..."

"You definitely can't manage alone. When the time comes, you can have Nezha and the others send out incarnations to serve as deities in the Pure Land of Merit."

Nezha: "Me?"

Zhang Taixuan: "No, I'm talking about Nezha from another world."

Nezha: "He has Nezha over there too? I want to play!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Hey, Nezha, haven't you read their story?"

Nezha: "What's so interesting about this? I'd rather go play in the East Sea!"

Yang Jian: "I've learned a lot!"
