Journey to the West: Become stronger by taking on disciples, start by recruiting a demonized Sun Wuk

Xuanyuan smiled and asked, "Aren't you jealous?"

Fuxi: "What are you jealous of? You're just an eighth-grade flower, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"

The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan frankly said, "I, Xuanyuan, am merely a human born after birth. I am already content to have cultivated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and attained the eighth grade of the Flower Blooming."

"You, Fuxi, are a reincarnation of a primordial god and demon, yet your flower only blooms at the ninth grade; that is indeed not good enough."

Fuxi calmly replied, "The primordial god-demon Fuxi has long since vanished. What exists now is only the human emperor Fuxi."

The Yellow Emperor raised his hands: "Very well, I concede."

"But Ying Zheng was able to break the rules and have the flower bloom with ten grades; shouldn't that be the limit?"

Fuxi nodded in agreement: "It has indeed reached its limit."

"Only top-tier innate gods and demons can achieve the eleventh grade of a flower."

"When my sister Nuwa attained the Great Luo Dao, she only reached the eleventh level of the Flower Blossom stage."

"The three saints of the Three Pure Ones were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. When they first attained the Great Luo Dao, they also stopped at the eleventh level of the Flower Opening stage."

"Ying Zheng is merely a human who has attained enlightenment; even with the assistance of a sage, he could never possibly reach the eleventh rank of the Flower Blooming!"

Fuxi spoke with conviction, and the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan completely agreed.

But the Yellow Emperor had a strong feeling that he was going to lose face again.

……

heaven.

The celestial beings in Heaven were all discussing it.

"The flowers have truly blossomed into ten varieties; I haven't seen such a sight in many years."

"The tenth grade of a flower is the limit for Ying Zheng."

"What are you thinking? A flower reaching ten grades is certainly Ying Zheng's limit!"

"No, it is the limit for all postnatal beings."

"Only top-tier innate gods and demons can achieve the eleventh grade of a flower."

Ying Zheng's ability to produce ten-grade flowers was purely by chance; it was absolutely impossible for him to produce eleven-grade flowers.

……

On the throne in the main hall.

The Jade Emperor saw that Ying Zheng's flower indeed had ten petals and exclaimed in admiration.

"After Qin Shi Huang, the Celestial Race was able to produce ten-rank beings, which was enough to be recorded in the annals of the prehistoric world."

"But that's where he ends."

"A flower with ten grades is already defying the heavens; it is absolutely impossible for it to have eleven grades."

The Jade Emperor once again concluded that Ying Zheng could not break through.

However, the next moment, he was completely defeated.

After Ying Zheng's flower reached the tenth rank, the breakthrough did not stop.

After a brief pause, the giant flower above their heads began to spin again.

As the Great Flower turned, the eleventh petal quietly bloomed.

"Buzz—"

The flower blooms with eleven petals, and an extraordinary phenomenon reappears!

Auspicious omens descend from the heavens, golden lotuses spring from the earth, purple aura arrives from the east, and heaven and earth rejoice together!

The extraordinary phenomenon of the breakthrough spread for 300,000 miles.

The enormous commotion awakened all the ancient beings.

Wuzhuang Temple, Kunlun Mountain, Ling Mountain, Demon Master Palace... these places were all affected.

Even the Purple Cloud Palace, far away in the chaos, was no exception.

Throughout the entire Journey to the West world, all beings who had reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal were alarmed by the extraordinary phenomenon of Ying Zheng's Flower blooming with eleven petals!

Western Paradise, Mount Ling.

Great Thunder Temple.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan are holding the Ullambana Festival.

The Tathagata Prabhutaratna sat on a lotus throne, uttering profound words and explaining Buddhist scriptures.

All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats are immersed in this Dharma.

Just as the eleventh flower of Ying Zheng bloomed, and heaven and earth rejoiced, a vast purple aura swept eastward.

Inside the Great Thunderclap Temple, all beings who had reached the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal were awakened.

The preaching of the Tathagata of Many Treasures immediately ceased.

Those Arhats and Bhikkhunis whose cultivation was not yet at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal looked at each other in astonishment.

"Amitabha Buddha, what has happened?"

One of the Arhats finally couldn't help but ask.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures replied, "In Jambudvipa, a being has cultivated to the eleventh rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Heaven and earth rejoice, and purple aura descends from the east!"

The Great Thunderclap Temple was immediately thrown into an uproar.

"To cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, eleventh grade, this!"

"The eleventh rank? How many years has it been since I've heard of such a thing?"

"Such a sight has only ever appeared in ancient times when the strongest innate gods and demons cultivated to become Great Luo Golden Immortals!"

"Even when Buddha cultivated to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he only reached the ninth rank."

"Shut up, no talking about Buddha."

There was much discussion within the Great Thunder Temple, but the Bodhisattvas, including Many Treasures Tathagata, Avalokiteshvara, and Samantabhadra, had no time to concern themselves with the monks.

Their attention was entirely focused on who this person was who had cultivated to the eleventh rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Guanyin tried to deduce it, but could only see a blurry shadow.

She sighed and said to Duobao Rulai, "Please, Buddha, help me find out who this person who has cultivated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is."

The great calamity of the Journey to the West is about to arrive. At this moment, this person has attained the Great Luo Dao, and his flower has blossomed into eleven petals, shaking the primordial world.

Whether this is a blessing or a curse for the flourishing of Buddhism must be investigated.

What Guanyin was most concerned about was how this person's identity would affect the rise and fall of Buddhism.

The Buddha of Many Treasures nodded: "Alright."

He immediately used his peak Quasi-Saint cultivation to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and deduce the secrets of Heaven.

A moment later, they learned Ying Zheng's identity.

The expression on the face of the Buddha of Many Treasures changed drastically!

Guanyin immediately sensed something was wrong and asked with her palms together, "Buddha, what has happened?"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva also showed expressions of concern, their gazes fixed on Prabhutaratna Buddha.

Tathagata Duobao shook his head: "It's not that something happened, it's that this person's identity shocked me."

Guanyin was even more curious: "Who exactly is it that could cause Buddha such astonishment?"

The Tathagata of Many Treasures slowly said, "The one who has attained the Great Luo is the monarch of a mortal dynasty of the human race in Jambudvipa."

All the Buddhas were shocked!

"For a human born after birth to attain the Great Luo realm and even cultivate an eleventh-grade flower—this is absolutely unprecedented!"

"Buddha must have lost his composure!"

Guanyin hurriedly clasped her hands together: "Buddha, there's definitely something wrong with this!"

The Tathagata Prabhutaratna calmed all the Buddhas down, and then said, "This matter is full of doubts, and I must use my supernatural powers to find out the truth."

After saying this, Tathagata Many Treasures immediately displayed his supernatural powers.

Divine light flashed, and the void trembled.

He flicked out Buddhist power with one finger, forming a light curtain on the top of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

The screen directly displayed the scene of Ying Zheng breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

With the evidence, Tathagata Duobao communicated with the Heavenly Dao again to deduce the secrets of Heaven.

The information we received this time was much more detailed than before.

From Ying Zheng's mysterious disappearance to his powerful return, from the execution of Lü Buwei to the worship of the faceless statue, and then to the establishment of the Great Qin Dynasty, all the details are clear.

The Buddha's expression changed drastically, and he became even more distraught than before.

At the same time, Guanyin, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and other Buddhas cried out in surprise.

"That's impossible!"

"Just over a month ago, Ying Zheng was still a mortal, without any cultivation!"

"He disappeared for only one day, and when he came back, he had become a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal."

What exactly happened that day?

Who exactly was the faceless statue that Qin Shi Huang worshipped?

The Tathagata of Many Treasures' supernatural powers allowed all the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas to see what had happened.

Everyone looked at the Buddha with resentment.

Buddha just assured us that there would be no accidents!

The situation is completely out of control now; it's all due to accidents!

Duobao Tathagata blushed; he had just said there would be no surprises, but now he had contradicted himself.

But he was more serious.

One key point was noticed – the faceless statue in which Ying Zheng addressed himself as his master.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The Tathagata immediately deduced the true identity of the faceless statue.

The calculation result was completely blank!

The Buddha of Many Treasures was shocked once again!

Guanyin immediately asked, "Buddha, have you figured out who is behind that faceless statue?"

The Buddha of Many Treasures said solemnly, "I have calculated it, and there are absolutely no clues as to the identity of that faceless statue!"

"That faceless statue was created by a sage."
