"Tang Sanzang has awakened his accumulated cultivation from countless lifetimes and broken through to the Quasi-Saint level?"

"Is this why Buddhism wants to ask the Heavenly Court to make the journey to the West more difficult?"

The Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow as he listened to Manjushri and Samantabhadra's descriptions!

Is this for real?

Heaven is truly helping me!

Although he thought this way, he showed a troubled expression on his face.

"Bodhisattvas, it's not that I don't want to help, but the Heavenly Court has very few Quasi-Saint level experts, and each of them holds important positions. Asking them to lend a hand would be quite difficult!"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra exchanged a glance, then smiled in unison and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured!"

"The Buddhist community will provide corresponding merit through donations and incense offerings!"

As they spoke, they took out a miniature world.

"Your Majesty, this is the sincerity of Buddhism. The amount of future donations and incense offerings will be personally discussed between Your Majesty and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara. What is Your Majesty's opinion?"

The Jade Emperor took the small world, examined it briefly, and immediately showed a satisfied expression.

"I agree to this!"

"But... what are the specific arrangements?"

Upon hearing this, Manjushri and Samantabhadra dared not conceal anything and explained, "Tang Sanzang's temperament is currently unpredictable, so the World-Honored One means that the calamities under the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction will be entirely arranged by the Heavenly Court itself, and Buddhism will not interfere!"

The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up instantly.

When did Buddhism become so generous?

Previously, the Heavenly Court only needed to send one person to participate in the Journey to the West calamity, according to the script arranged by Buddhism!

But now they have the power to arrange the entire calamity themselves!

This is equivalent to the Heavenly Court previously only earning a performance fee from an actor, but now it can set up its own stage, put on a show, and earn money for the entire performance! As for what kind of show to put on and how many actors to use, that's all up to the Heavenly Court!

The difference in profits before and after is obvious!

"Since the World Honored One is willing to entrust this matter to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will naturally do its utmost!"

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra clasped their hands together in gratitude.

After saying this, they prepared to get up and take their leave.

But at that moment, a familiar divine thought entered their minds.

The next moment, they all stopped what they were doing and respectfully bowed to the Jade Emperor once again.

"Your Majesty, Guanyin Bodhisattva has sent word that the World-Honored One intends to entrust the next calamity to the Heavenly Court!"

"So urgent?"

The Jade Emperor was taken aback.

He had originally planned to arrange for someone to discuss it properly!

Manjushri continued, "Your Majesty, the World-Honored One means that the Buddhist budget for this calamity will have no upper limit and will be entirely entrusted to the Heavenly Court... As for the arrangements after this calamity, they still need to be discussed jointly by the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court!"

He didn't explain himself clearly, but the Jade Emperor understood!

This difficult task is done well, but we'll have to do it again in the future!

But if you don't do well in this difficult situation, then whether you can participate next time will depend on the circumstances!

"rest assured!"

"I will immediately send the True Martial Emperor, who has just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, to arrange this matter!"

Zhenwu the Great was originally the most powerful Golden Immortal in Heaven, whose strength was even greater than that of the Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta in Buddhism!

Now that he has broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, the True Martial Emperor's strength is probably even greater than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Amitabha!"

Manjushri clasped his hands together, saying, "This matter requires careful consideration!"

He acknowledged the strength of the True Martial Emperor!

The problem is that the current Tang Sanzang can even contend with the Medicine Buddha, so simply arranging for the True Martial Emperor might not be enough!

Because he and Samantabhadra had been in the Heavenly Court for some time, they hadn't had time to receive the news of the Medicine Buddha's passing; otherwise, their reaction would have been even more intense!

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's face instantly darkened.

Aside from the benevolent corpse of the Supreme Saint, the most powerful beings in the Heavenly Court are the Five Elders!

The Five Elders of Heaven: Buddha of the Western Paradise, Guanyin of the Southern Pole, Emperor Chongen of the East, Emperor Zhenwu of the Northern Pole, and Huangjiao Daxian of the Central Pole!

The first two are Buddhists!

The Holy Emperor Chongen of the East was the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the ancient primordial being, the Eastern King, and thus had little sense of belonging to the Heavenly Court.

Huangji Huangjiao Daxian is a remnant of the ancient demon race, and he is not so obedient!

The only person he can command is the True Martial Emperor!

But even the Buddhist community is not satisfied with this!

We can't expect the ruler of the Three Realms to personally take action!

"What advice does the Bodhisattva have?"

Manjushri, having anticipated this, calmly replied, "Your Majesty would be most prudent to have some powerful ancient human experts assist you!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately fell into deep thought!

After the Lich War ended, the human race replaced the Lich and Lich races, gradually seizing the destiny of the protagonist of heaven and earth, and rose to power!

However, this also led to a joint scheme by six Heavenly Saints!

In order to find a way out for the human race, the three sages of the human race sought him out when the Heavenly Court had just been established!

As long as he protects the human race in the name of the Heavenly Court, some of the human race's top experts are willing to accept the Heavenly Court's conferment of titles, and at the same time promise that every human expert will take action for the Heavenly Court once!

He agreed without hesitation and simultaneously bestowed titles upon five human emperors.

They are: Fuxi, the Azure Emperor of the East, the Nine Qi Heavenly Lord of the Azure Spirit; Shennong, the Red Emperor of the South, the Three Qi Heavenly Lord of the Crimson Spirit; Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, the One Qi Heavenly Lord of the Mysterious Spirit; Shaohao, the White Emperor of the West, the Seven Qi Heavenly Lord of the Bright Spirit; and Zhuanxu, the Black Emperor of the North, the Five Qi Heavenly Lord of the Mysterious Spirit.

However, the Heavenly Court's protection could not stop the Six Saints. In the end, the three human saints were tricked and trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave, and the other human powerhouses were either killed or injured!

After the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the human race suffered a severe setback, which led to the current situation where Buddhism and the Heavenly Court jointly govern the prehistoric world.

Therefore, he was not entirely sure whether those ancient human powerhouses would be willing to acknowledge their past promises.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing his hesitation, Manjushri quickly continued to persuade him, "A favor is a favor after all. Wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?"

The Jade Emperor remained unmoved.

Manjushri gritted his teeth and took out another small world.

"Your Majesty, this is another expression of sincerity from Buddhism!"

The Jade Emperor was instantly moved. Without making a sound, he absorbed this small world into his inner world and said with a smile, "In that case, I will take the risk and give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Manjushri and Samantabhadra breathed a sigh of relief and then hurriedly left the Tongming Hall.

Upon returning to the main hall, the two reported the matter truthfully to the Buddha.

Upon hearing this, the Buddha's face instantly fell.

"madness!"

"I only asked you to inform the Heavenly Court to increase the difficulty of the journey to the West. When did I give you permission to make your own decisions?"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra were instantly stunned into their seats.

no……

They did this so as not to damage the relationship between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism!

Tang Sanzang's strength was in no way inferior to that of the Medicine Buddha, while the True Martial Emperor had only just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level.

If Tang Sanzang were to accidentally kill Zhenwu the Great, how could the Heavenly Court let it go?

Besides, you sent us to the Heavenly Court so that they would teach Tang Sanzang a lesson, didn't you?

Seeing the still somewhat unconvinced looks on their faces, Buddha became even angrier.

"Guanyin, tell them why!"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin quickly relayed the news that the Medicine Buddha had been killed by Tang Sanzang!
