Chapter 421 Yang Kaitai: I'll fight a saint?

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the Buddha's words flowed like lotus blossoms, as he continued to expound his teachings.

The sight of dragons circling and flowers raining down filled the onlookers with awe for the Buddha's profound Taoist teachings.

"I have seen that in those five continents, the beings are of varying good and evil, and each place has its own way: In the primordial Central Continent, people revere Heaven and worship Earth. Their hearts are clear and their spirits are calm; they are neither greedy nor murderous, they cultivate their vital energy and nurture their spirits. Although there are no supreme immortals, everyone enjoys a long life."

"But those in the continents of East Victory, South Jambudvipa, North Juda, and West Niuhe are all greedy, lustful, and fond of trouble, killing and fighting a lot. They are truly a battlefield of words and a sea of ​​evil."

When Buddha spoke, his expression was solemn, but Bai Ye felt like he was being attacked from all sides.

"So what if you're lustful?" Bai Ye rolled her eyes inwardly.

The Buddha continued, “We cultivators have cultivated for countless eons. We should think of all living beings in heaven and earth, eliminate wars, and educate all people. This is a great merit that benefits all living beings in heaven and earth.”

"Our Central Plains possess countless scriptures and boundless teachings; it is our duty to spread these teachings, impart knowledge, and resolve doubts in the other four regions."

"Therefore, I wish to find a person to transmit the scriptures, and travel throughout the Three Realms and Five Regions to spread the supreme lineage."

Having said this, Buddha remained silent, his gaze fixed on the entire assembly. The immortals fell silent, none daring to utter a word.

How do you explain that?

The five domains have been isolated by the various saints, making it difficult for non-quasi-saints to travel through them easily. Moreover, the rules of each domain are different, and even quasi-saints are at risk of perishing.

After all, the fact that the sages of the Central Plains of the Primordial World agreed not to appear doesn't mean that the sages of the other four regions are lying down.

At that time, transmitting scriptures might directly confront the sages.

To challenge a saint... do I even deserve it?

Didn't you see that none of the big shots have said anything?

They weren't even quasi-saints yet, and they were fighting the monkey to a standstill. Even if they had the will, they were powerless.

At this moment, Yang Kaitai was stunned on the spot. His previous nonchalance had completely disappeared, and his heart was filled with a thousand waves of emotion.

"Good heavens! We were supposed to go to the West to retrieve the scriptures, but this time it's become a mission to spread them!"

"The West is also called 'west'? Greece is also called 'Xi', so if you keep going west, you can circle the world, right? You're Napoleon!"

He now understood why it wasn't Guanyin who came, but the Buddha.

Given Guanyin's status, if she dared to say this, the other immortals would simply ignore her.

Only the words of a quasi-saint can be listened to with some difficulty, and they might consider whether this matter is feasible.

Inside the main hall, seeing that all the civil and military officials were stammering and not one of them willing to speak, the Jade Emperor spoke:

"The Buddha's opinion is my opinion. This concerns the orthodoxy of the faith. How can we find someone with magical powers and seek out a devout believer?"

"To teach him to endure hardships across mountains and rivers, to spread his teachings throughout the four corners of the world, and to enlighten all beings—that is a blessing as vast as a mountain and a blessing as deep as the sea. Who would be willing to undertake such a journey?"

...The immortals remained silent...

"Not only us, but also the bigwigs above us have tacitly approved this. At that time, all the books in the Ling Mountain Heavenly Court and the two realms will be opened to them. And having performed such a meritorious deed, they may be able to become saints in the future."

The Jade Emperor made another solemn promise.

After all, the Three Pure Ones and the two saints of Mount Ling were definitely tacitly approved or strongly promoted this attempt to spread the scriptures.

If no one else is available, the Jade Emperor, Buddha, and Laozi, these quasi-saints, will have to draw lots to fill the vacancies.

The Jade Emperor has endured over 100,000 tribulations to reach his current state, but he has never faced a direct confrontation with a sage in any of them.

They are challenging themselves, not hanging themselves.

So even if it's not a Quasi-Saint, it would be good to have a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

As long as they agree, they will grit their teeth and push them to the top, attempting to push a low-level immortal to the quasi-saint realm within a few days.

Otherwise, they'll have to go.

If they really can't find it, he should designate one; otherwise, they can't just go and deliver it themselves, can they?

The immortals remained silent... oh wait, the troublemaker has arrived.

"This plan to spread knowledge is quite interesting."

Suddenly, a cheerful and slightly amused voice rang out in the main hall.

In an instant, all eyes turned to the scene of the incident, wanting to see who had been so bold.

A handsome and spirited young man lay high on auspicious clouds, his eyes showing no fear.

"It was him!"

The immortals couldn't help but skip a beat, their eyes filled with extreme astonishment, never expecting that it was Bai Ye who was picking the job.

After all, as mentioned before, I wanted a relaxed, free, and interesting job. This job of transmitting scriptures is at most related to being interesting, since fighting against a sage is too exciting.

"As expected, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger." The immortals thought to themselves. At the age of 19, he was full of vigor and vitality, the perfect age to take risks.

"Oh, does Fellow Daoist Bai have any interest in the matter of transmitting the scriptures?" The Jade Emperor asked with the joy of having found a savior.

"I'm somewhat interested." Bai Ye sat up straight on the auspicious cloud, leaning forward as he said:

"In other words, I will now appoint a messenger to cross the boundary and travel to the other four domains to spread the Great Dao of the Central Plains!"

"Indeed," the Jade Emperor said with utmost kindness. Even Buddha and the others felt that Bai Ye was their savior.

Just when they were about to spread the scriptures, Bai Ye came to the Heavenly Court at this critical juncture. He happened to be a peak Quasi-Saint who could shoulder great responsibilities, and he even dared to stubbornly take charge of the scripture-spreading cause.

Hey! Isn't this just a coincidence?

As he spoke, Buddha raised his hand, revealing three magical implements, and said:

"I possess the Three Golden Encirclements, which can be controlled simply by reciting the incantation. At that time, Fellow Daoist Bai can choose three guardians to escort the transmitter of the scriptures through thorns and brambles, riding the wind and waves to spread the Daoist tradition of the Central Plains to the four seas."

The Jade Emperor also agreed, saying, "Fellow Daoists are welcome to read the books in the Heavenly Court and the Lingshan Immortal Pavilion. At that time, the scribes can choose any Buddhist or Taoist scriptures to spread them. This will surely win the hearts of the four regions."

The so-called "mortal cultivation manual" refers to the cultivation methods below the Earth Immortal level. The highest level one can cultivate is the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm. At that time, if one wants to become an immortal, one still has to beg for immortals and Buddhas. This is the meaning of "all under heaven return to one's heart".

Seeing that Bai Ye was ready to take the lead, fearing that he might abandon his post and run away, the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Queen Mother of the West, and Laozi, among other quasi-saints, each spoke up, listing all the benefits.

He casually mentioned things like the Nine-Ringed Zen Staff, the Brocade Pouch, the Kasaya, and the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, hoping that Bai Ye, this cheap contractor, wouldn't run away halfway through.

Bai Ye remained completely unmoved by this; he only took the job because it was fun.

Yang Kaitai, standing to the side, was secretly anxious, worried that Bai Ye might actually bump into a saint and get into an accident.

Bai Ye looked at the Jade Emperor and Buddha and asked, "Has the selection of the pilgrim for the journey to the West been finalized?"

"No one has been chosen yet, but I have a disciple who should..."

Buddha wanted to recommend his disciple Jin Chanzi to go through the fire pit, but Bai Ye interrupted him.

"It's good that I haven't chosen anyone yet," Bai Ye said with a smile. "I already have someone suitable in mind."

"Oh, who was chosen?" Buddha and the other immortals asked curiously.

Bai Ye smiled slightly and turned his head slightly.

Suddenly, Yang Kaitai felt countless microscopic worlds trembling and groaning all over his body.

He swallowed hard, his mouth dry, and said, "I...I'll transmit the true scriptures? Really?"
