Chapter 420 Journey to the West

Lying on his side under the couch in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's mansion, Bai Ye yawned softly.

Before him, the Director of the Peace Division, who had cultivated for countless years to reach the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, was respectfully fanning himself with a jade fan to cool Bai Ye down.

"Great Sage, are you tired? The Jade Emperor has already issued a decree that you are free to move about. If you do not wish to go, you are not required to go," the Director said in a low voice.

"No need. I've got nothing else to do anyway, so I might as well go and see what the Buddha and the Jade Emperor are up to."

Bai Ye waved his hand lightly and looked at the director, saying, "Instead of clumsily fanning me, you, a Golden Immortal, would be better off finding a beautiful female Earth Immortal to serve me."

"I'm trying to curry favor in the wrong way. I'm just facing an old dreg that's been cultivating for millions of years. Doesn't that make me sick of it?"

Jin Xian lowered his head and meekly replied, "The Great Sage is right."

Bai Ye rolled his eyes helplessly. With the other person's brain, even an exhaustive search would yield ten thousand ways to please him.

The reason for playing dumb is to avoid making mistakes and to avoid any illegal operations before making a statement. The main goal is to play it safe.

After all, they are not like young immortals like monkeys who have lived for less than a thousand years and are fearless like newborn calves. Most Golden Immortals are old and powerful beings who have lived for hundreds of millions of years.

"Notify the Anjing Division that we'll all go to the Lingxiao Palace to watch a show," Bai Ye said casually.

Not long after, Yang Kaitai, who had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal realm and was just one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal, came to Bai Ye in high spirits.

Now that he has become the head of a department, his cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds thanks to the boost from his immortal position. It won't be long before he becomes a Golden Immortal.

If one were to transform from an Earth Immortal to a Golden Immortal, it would require connecting all the nested worlds of the Ganges Sands within one's body, frequently borrowing the power of these countless microscopic universes.

To achieve the status of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, one must ensure that one's own countless worlds reflect each other with the outside world.

That is, to inscribe one's image into the entire microscopic universe of the primordial world.

From then on, the entire primordial world and its countless subordinate microcosms each possessed their own legends.

This is precisely why, in the universe where Yang Kaitai was, there were no signs of immortals or gods, yet each had its own legends and temples for worship.

As long as life exists, there will be legends of immortals and gods.

Those who possess temples and legends are at least beings of the Golden Immortal level or higher.

And Yang Kaitai will soon have his own mythological legend.

As for Bai Ye? He doesn't cultivate the Primordial Law; like a certain cultivator of the Most Moon, nobody remembers him at all.

After the court session ended at the Lingxiao Palace, some immortals wanted to test Bai Ye's background, but they couldn't find a trace of him and even suspected that he had been attacked from another region.

"Boss, I heard that Buddha has arrived?" Yang Kaitai said after entering the room, his eyes filled with doubt.

After all, in theory, the behind-the-scenes bigwigs shouldn't easily step forward in negotiations between two forces.

Instead, a capable henchman should be brought in to act as a scapegoat and orchestrate the situation, just like Guanyin in the original work, who is known as the teacher of the Seven Buddhas.

Because of his strong abilities and wide range of methods, he converted seven high-ranking officials, even though he was a Bodhisattva.

This time, however, it was the Buddha himself who personally intervened, which puzzled Yang Kaitai.

"Let's see how things go. After all, it's not the original story, so it's normal for things to develop in unexpected ways."

"And it's precisely because things happen as expected that it's fun," Bai Ye said with a smile.

Bai Ye didn't try to hide his words from the Director of the Peace Division beside him. After all, he wasn't afraid of anyone now, so there was no need for him to be cautious.

The two exchanged a few words, then rode on an auspicious cloud toward the Lingxiao Palace.

At this moment, inside the main hall, the Buddha sat high on the Seven Treasures Platform, slightly lower than the Jade Emperor, with his hands clasped together and a peaceful expression, exuding a solemn and dignified aura.

Beside him stood two venerable ones, Ananda and Kasyapa.

Suddenly, a pure white auspicious cloud surged into the main hall. Bai Ye sat on the cloud in an extremely leisurely manner, with Yang Kaitai and Director Anning by his side.

Upon entering the hall on the very first day, the Buddha, who had been standing with his palms together, turned his gaze toward them with curiosity and a look of inquiry in his eyes.

He was also very curious about this quasi-saint who had recently joined the Heavenly Court, and now he was finally meeting him in person.

However, I heard that this quasi-saint's behavior is somewhat unruly. Even though he has reached this level, he has not yet transcended the desires of the mortal flesh.

But that's normal. He's only 19 years old. He was only cut down by the sage a few years ago. After a few more years of honing his skills with the silver spear, he'll become proficient.

With this thought in mind, Tathagata gave Bai Ye a slight nod of goodwill with a half-smile.

"Now that the immortals have arrived, please ask the Buddha to explain the matters concerning this missionary work. Please speak freely, Venerable Buddha." The Jade Emperor's voice resounded throughout the celestial palace.

The Buddha gently raised his head, said "Yes," and then proclaimed in a clear voice:

"Since the beginning of time, the world has been divided into five regions: the Central Plains, the Eastern Divine Continent, the Western Niuhe Continent, the Southern Jambudvipa Continent, and the Northern Kuru Continent."

"It's started again, it's started again."

Beside Bai Ye, Yang Kaitai was speechless. The big leader's speech started with grand pronouncements and empty rhetoric. It was just about going to the West, what did it have to do with other states?

Having lived here for a while, Yang Kaitai had a general understanding of the world's setting.

The five continents here are different from those in the original Journey to the West. The Central Continent here refers to the entire prehistoric region, including the four continents in the original Journey to the West, as well as the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling.

The Eastern Continent refers to the region of Indian mythology, the Western Continent to Christian mythology, the Southern Continent to Greek mythology, and the Northern Continent to Norse mythology.

According to the legends of the Central Plains, the original world was a single, interconnected entity, meaning that different mythologies could actually communicate and exchange ideas with each other.

However, humanity united to form a cultivation force called the Tower of Babel, aiming to eliminate the barrier between humans and immortals.

This offended the majesty of the Western saint (God), so he wanted to prevent humans from becoming immortals.

However, since there is no single sage in the world, and different sages have different attitudes, disagreements quickly arose.

To maintain stability and prevent battles between saints from destroying the world.

In the course of compromise, the world was divided into five regions by the scythe of the sage Cronus (father of Zeus in Greek mythology).

While the five regions were divided, the God of Xiniu Hezhou, with the tacit approval of the other saints, raised a veil at the point of division, placing the entire world in a realm that could be observed but not reached.

Even in a great battle between saints, as long as it is not specifically aimed at the Five Domains Barrier, it will generally not affect other regions. In order to travel through the Five Domains under the saint's barrier, one must at least reach the level of a quasi-saint.

"But bringing this up now..."

Suddenly, a thought popped into Yang Kaitai's head, and he was terrified, feeling a cold sweat break out all over his body.

He suddenly turned his head and his gaze met Bai Ye's. Both of them understood the guess in each other's eyes.

However, what Bai Ye saw was the excitement of finding amusement.

In his eyes, it was absurd.
