Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 543 Lingyun Ferry, the Buddhist Disciple Kinnara!

Although the effect was far less than it had been in Jinping Prefecture, it was still enough for the people of Jinping Prefecture to live a good life.

After resolving the matter in Jinping Prefecture, Bishu asked hesitantly, "Brother, after making inquiries from various sources, we've confirmed that Huaguo Mountain is in that direction. Are we really going to seek refuge there?"

The meaning of "escaping the summer heat" is quite clear.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

With their combined strength at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, even in the most fertile and spiritually abundant Eastern Continent, the three of them could reign supreme and live a carefree life.

But if you go to Flower Fruit Mountain

They had already inquired about Flower Fruit Mountain beforehand; it had seventy-two demon kings and countless powerful figures. If they really joined them, it certainly wouldn't be as enjoyable as becoming kings and rulers on their own.

After pondering for a while, Bi Han did not change his decision, but instead said with a solemn expression.

"We've had such a peaceful life for so many years, it's time to go out and explore. We're not going anywhere else, we're going to Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Yes, brother."

Three rhinoceros horns, marching in a grand procession towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

Meanwhile, Jiang Liuer and his group left Jinping Prefecture and continued westward. The rest of the journey went smoothly without any major problems.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten years or so have passed.

Jiang Liuer and his group strolled along, stopping every now and then, until they finally arrived at the banks of a mighty river.

Beside the river stands a tall stone tablet with the three characters "Lingyun Ferry" engraved on it.

Lingyun Ferry

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing narrowed their eyes, knowing that once they crossed Lingyun Ferry and continued westward, their mission would be accomplished.

"Lingyun Ferry? Interesting!"

Jiang Liuer smiled and said, "There is a legend on Lingyun Ferry."

Legend has it that only bottomless boats can ferry passengers across Lingyun Ferry.

Whether you are a mortal or a celestial being, once you board the ship...

When your reflection appears on the water, your physical body will automatically fall into the river, and you will obtain your true form.

Right now, Jiang Liuer and his group have arrived at Lingyun Ferry. Once they cross Lingyun Ferry, their mission will be accomplished and their journey westward will be complete.

Sun Wukong scratched his head, a faint golden light flashing in his eyes. "Why hasn't a boat come to pick us up yet?"

The little black dragon laughed and said, "Senior Brother, there's no rush. This bottomless boat isn't available all the time. Let's wait a little longer."

While everyone waited, in the Great Thunder Temple, in the main hall, Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya, and Dipankara were overjoyed!

Their journey westward was truly agonizing, each day feeling like an eternity!

But now, everything is over. The journey to the West is about to end, Buddhism will soon flourish, and the days when Buddhism will rule the Three Realms are almost here!

The pharmacist couldn't help but glance eastward, and said in a deep voice, "After you and your disciples cross Lingyun Ferry, our Buddhist sect must send someone to guide them to the Great Thunderclap Temple. I wonder who we should send?"

Before the pharmacist could finish speaking, Maitreya said, "This matter is of great importance. I think it would be best if we went together."

Dipankara nodded in agreement. "The Buddha Maitreya is right. This is the final and most crucial step. Let us old folks handle it ourselves, lest something goes wrong and the Sage blames us."

The pharmacist thought about it and felt it made perfect sense. "Alright, then this time, let's go together as a trio."

Maitreya suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Medicine Master, how is Kinnara's cultivation going?"

Kinnara, the pride of Buddhism!

Even before the Stone Monkey was born, his talent astonished the entire Buddhist community.

It even alarmed the supreme sage, who favored him and took him as his direct disciple, though he was only temporarily taught by the pharmacist.

Kinnara is exceptionally gifted and has been repeatedly praised by sages. He is currently the most watched genius in Buddhism.

The pharmacist exclaimed, "Kinnara is indeed exceptionally talented. Before his recent seclusion, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm upon emerging from seclusion this time, right?"

"The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Maitreya struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter these few words.

With Kinnara's talent, if he were in ancient times, he would be a force to be reckoned with, capable of rivaling the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace.

The pharmacist was in high spirits and let out a sigh of relief. "With Kinnara in front and Jin Chanzi behind, Heaven blesses our Buddhist sect! Our Buddhist sect will surely prosper!"

"Let's get going without delay!"

"Yes."

The three nodded, then summoned all the bodhisattvas, arhats, venerable ones, and vajras of the Great Thunderclap Temple to Lingyun Ferry to welcome Jiang Liuer and his party.

The Thirty-Three Heavens, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, beside the Pool of Eight Treasures and Merits.

Zhunti's face beamed with an incomparably radiant smile. "Senior brother, the journey to the West is about to end, and it is time for our Buddhist sect to flourish. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—the era of our Buddhist sect is about to arrive!"

At this moment, Zhunti raised his eyebrows in triumph, as if he were about to expel the pent-up frustration that had been building up in his heart for millions of years.

Once Buddhism flourishes, the first thing we will suppress without saying anything else is the Jie Sect. We must suppress it to the death!

Jieyin's expression remained as calm as ever, but upon closer inspection, one could see the flickering flames in his eyes.

"Don't let your guard down; the journey westward is far from over!"

The smile on Zhunti's face gradually faded. "Senior brother, do you think the sages might interfere and cause trouble?"

"It's hard to say."

Jieyin is also unclear. There are currently eight saints in the prehistoric world: the Three Pure Ones, himself and his junior brother, as well as Nuwa, Zhao Gongming, and Styx.

Upon careful counting, there wasn't a single person who was on good terms with Buddhism.

Jieyinxin panicked immediately and solemnly said, "On this journey to the west, if necessary, we will also have to lend a hand."

"Yes, senior brother."

Zhunti patted his chest, unable to hide his excitement.

In the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Great Crimson Heaven, within the Eight Views Palace, Taiqing gazed at the Three Realms with a profound expression.

"Is the journey westward finally coming to an end?"

Once the westward journey began, Taiqing paid little attention to it.

Now that the journey to the west is about to end, the calamity has dissipated, and the world has become slightly clearer. Taiqing then began to make calculations, but the results were not satisfactory.

The results of the deduction show that after the journey to the west, Buddhism will flourish greatly, but after the flourishing, the secrets of heaven suddenly become obscure, and the deduction cannot continue at all.

Based on Taiqing's countless years of experience, there are two reasons why this is the case.

First, not long after the Buddhist sect's westward journey, another great calamity will erupt, and with the aura of calamity pervading the land, he will naturally be unable to continue his deductions.

Secondly, something even more terrifying than the Great Calamity will occur, thus interrupting one's own deductions!

Neither of these two reasons is something that the Three Realms cannot withstand in the present day.

After a long while, Taiqing sighed, slowly shook his head, and closed his eyes.

Above the auspicious clouds in the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun stood with a cold face and cold eyes, his expression exceptionally stern. Under the great calamity, Buddhism was still destined to flourish!

With the rise of Buddhism, the strength of Taoism will inevitably be weakened.

Among the various Xuanmen forces, the Chan Sect is currently the weakest!

The road ahead is difficult!

Yuanshi sighed deeply. When he founded the sect, he was full of vigor and ambition, determined to spread the teachings of the Chan Sect throughout the prehistoric world. But now?

A strained smile appeared on Yuanshi's lips, and his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the East Sea.
