Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1733 - 1116 Red Cloud Appears

Taishang Laojun established the Buddhist door in the West, directly substituting reality for illusion, and swallowed the Western teachings.

If it wasn’t for the two Western Saints persuading Duobao Daoist to stand on their side, there might be no West now. The so-called Buddhist door would have become a branch of the Mystic Sect.

The Saint of Taiqing used the Buddhist door to plot against the two Western Saints, almost annihilating the Western teachings, showing his prowess. The Saint of Taiqing’s actions are similar to Jiang Chen’s, always having multiple plans ready.

If one plan fails, he immediately comes up with another. Using the method of reviving Red Cloud Ancestor to plot against the two Western Saints is completely the style of the Saint of Taiqing.

Besides the Saint of Taiqing, Jiang Chen can’t think of anyone else in the Prehistoric World who would scheme against the two Western Saints so ruthlessly.

Don’t be fooled by the Saint of Taiqing’s friendly chats with the two Western Saints, thinking they have a good relationship. In fact, it’s the two Western Saints whom the Saint of Taiqing hates the most.

Even Jiang Chen is placed behind the two Western Saints in the heart of the Saint of Taiqing.

As for why the Saint of Taiqing hates the two Western Saints so much, it’s related to their betrayal of the Mystic Sect and establishment of their own sect.

Although there was a hint of establishing a sect in the Ancient Times, the two did not take action.

It was after the Ancient Investiture of the Gods’ war that the two Western Saints completely betrayed the Mystic Sect, establishing a sect in the West, creating the Shamen, the predecessor of the Buddhist door.

At that time, the one in charge of the Mystic Sect was the Saint of Taiqing. During his tenure, not only did he fail to make any achievements, but such a major incident occurred.

The two Saints carried a large amount of the Mystic Sect’s fate to establish a new sect and became enemies of the Mystic Sect. This incident was a heavy blow to the authority of the Saint of Taiqing.

If it weren’t for his powerful strength and noble status, just this incident would be enough for him to lose the position of acting leader of the Mystic Sect.

Due to the Saint of Taiqing’s status, the rest of the Mystic Sect could not openly discuss this matter, but dissatisfaction brewed secretly, believing that the Saint of Taiqing’s ability was inadequate, causing great losses to the Mystic Sect.

It was because of this matter that the Saint of Taiqing deeply hated the two Western Saints, considering it the greatest humiliation of his life, dreaming of reclaiming the West to restore his authority.

The two Western Saints inflicted such humiliation on the Saint of Taiqing, how could he not hate them?

On the surface, he laughed and talked with them, showing no anomalies, but secretly, he crafted one scheme after another, each more vicious than the last, targeting the Western Saints’ lifelines.

First, he aimed to annihilate the Western teachings, then revived Red Cloud Ancestor; both moves sharply struck the weakness of the two Western Saints.

"This is troublesome now, the two Western Saints are truly in a bind this time; the Saint of Taiqing’s plotting is as formidable as ever."

Having deduced that the person behind it was the Saint of Taiqing, Jiang Chen’s gaze toward the two Western Saints held a trace of pity. Truly unfortunate, this time their lifeline has been grasped by the Saint of Taiqing.

If the two Western Saints proceed according to the original plan, supporting Red Cloud Ancestor as the master of the Buddha Realm, they would indeed repay the karmic consequences of giving up the seat back then. But doing so, the Buddha Realm would no longer be related to them.

Since the two Western Saints let Red Cloud Ancestor become the master of the Buddha Realm to repay past karma, then Red Cloud would owe them nothing. After becoming the master of the Buddha Realm, naturally, he would no longer need to follow their commands.

Instead, his own revival depended entirely on the help of the Saint of Taiqing, forcing Red Cloud Ancestor to obey the Saint of Taiqing to repay the life-saving grace.

Calculating it this way, if the two Western Saints continue to let Red Cloud Ancestor serve as the master of the Buddha Realm, it would be equivalent to handing over the painstakingly created Buddha Realm to the Saint of Taiqing. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

This loss is massive, equivalent to directly giving away half of the foundation.

The current foundation of the Buddhist door, half of it is Sumeru Mountain, now in Jiang Chen’s hands. The other half is the newly created Buddha Realm, currently ownerless. Whoever controls the Buddha Realm holds half of the foundation of the Buddhist door and its future.

Therefore, even though the two Western Saints have long distanced themselves from the Buddhist door’s affairs, they still regard the Buddha Realm with utmost importance, willing to personally fight for it.

According to their initial thought, they revived Red Cloud Ancestor and helped him ascend to the Primordial Chaos position.

Even if Red Cloud Ancestor bears resentment for their past unwillingness to rescue him, having received such great favor, he would not show it.

Instead, to counter Jiang Chen and secure his position as the master of the Buddha Realm, he would have no choice but to lean towards the two Western Saints, tightly united with them.

In this way, the two Western Saints not only repaid the favor but could also have Red Cloud Ancestor restrain Jiang Chen, preventing him from monopolizing the Buddhist door, achieving dual gains.

It’s just unfortunate that, although the two Western Saints planned well, they couldn’t act faster than the Saint of Taiqing, who had already revived Red Cloud Ancestor in advance, rendering all their plans futile.

...

What Jiang Chen can understand, the two Western Saints naturally can as well.

After another failed attempt, despite their unwillingness to believe it, they had to admit that someone indeed revived Red Cloud Ancestor before them.
