Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 252 - 245: Opportunity? Wishful Thinking!

All the powerful beings of the Three Realms could not fathom the intentions of Heavenly Dao, nor did they dare to deeply investigate how the Dao Ancestor thought.

However, many were reassured by the fact that despite acquiring Yun Chao, Human Path remained weak.

If it were not for the Human Race’s Destiny Dragon that stabilized it just now, the extremely ethereal Human Path River would probably have dissipated on the spot.

Since Human Path is not powerful, Liu Xiu, who revives the dynasty of human kings based on Human Path, naturally received modest empowerment.

Even with the blessing of the entire dynasty, he barely possessed the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

This strength was indeed formidable within the Three Realms.

However, it fell far short compared to the mighty ancients of the Human Race.

As for the overall strength of the Great Han, it goes without saying. Those of the Human Race remained mere mortals, the empowerment by Human Path’s destiny on them was minuscule.

This situation has filled many powers with hope.

Inside the Great Thunderclap Monastery of the Sacred Mountain, the monks of the Buddha Sect gazed at the scenes within the bubble; some bodhisattvas and Supreme Ones exchanged glances and simultaneously conceived a new idea.

The emergence of the Human Path Yun Chao might bring difficulties to the Buddha Sect’s re-spreading of Buddhist teachings in the Eastern Region, but it was also an opportunity!

Jia Ye said, "Buddha, even though Great Han has ascended to Yun Chao, it is overall weak and likely to be surrounded by demons. Disciple is willing to re-enter the Eastern Region to defend Great Han against demons and uphold the dignity of our Buddhist teachings."

Guanyin Bodhisattva reminded, "Human King Liu Xiu is a disciple of Sun Wukong, and our two previous attempts to spread the Buddhist teachings were thwarted by Sun Wukong."

Jia Ye slightly smiled, "All is human endeavour. Sun Wukong bears no deep grudges against our Buddha Sect, and even if there were, what grievances can’t be resolved for us? Moreover, with just his power alone, it is apparent that he cannot fend off those demons eyeing the Great Han Yun Chao and coveting Human Path. He surely can’t spend every day guarding the entire Great Han Yun Chao that occupies the entire Southern Nanbarion."

This is exactly where the opportunity lies!

Previously, dynastic empires of the Southern Nanbarion without the support of Human Path were nothing but weak; for demons, those humans were merely food for blood, serving only to satisfy hunger without much benefit for cultivation.

In addition to several deities and immortals who sided with humans offering protection, there had not been many formidable demons daring to invade the Eastern Region.

But now, it was different; everyone could see that the newly-formed Human Path Yun Chao of the Great Han held enormous opportunities, and certainly, some demons would take the risk.

At this time, if the Buddha Sect could help establish a divine position system for Great Han similar to that of Heavenly Court and the yin division of Earth Theurgy, then they could secure a significant standing within the Great Han Yun Chao and thereby control some authority of Human Path.

Compared to when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva entered the Earthly Theurgical Bureau and competed for authority over Earth Path, the benefits the Buddha Sect could derive from success this time would undoubtedly be much greater!

Since the Buddha Sect is inherently grounded in the secular world, the secular strength brings more benefits to the Buddha Sect.

Clearly, the secular might of the Great Han Yun Chao far surpassed that of previous dynastic empires of the Human Race!

At this moment, all the monks also looked toward the Mahavira Hall above, wanting to see how the Buddha would decide.

After all, Jia Ye’s two previous missions to spread Buddhist teachings in the Eastern Region had ended in failure.

In the past thirty years, Jia Ye has been spreading the Buddhist teachings across the countries in Western Niu Hezhou and promoting hybrid rice cultivation. Although there were some gains, compared to the Great Han Yun Chao, they seemed trivial.

In this circumstance, send Jia Ye to Southern Nanbarion again?

The Buddha looked solemnly at the monks and slowly said, "Great Han has manifested the Human Path, contributing greatly to Heaven and Earth. Now that it has ascended to Yun Chao, our Buddha Sect must fully support it. Let it be as Jia Ye requested, send Guanyin and Golden Cicada to Southern Nanbarion to assist Great Han and elevate our Buddha Sect’s prestige. Remember not to act rashly; consult with Ziwei Great Emperor in matters."

Jia Ye’s face originally bore a smile, but upon hearing this, his smile faded.

Furthermore, Buddha’s last sentence clearly indicated that Jia Ye had acted rashly before.

The monks of the Buddha Sect understood too; in order to introduce Buddhist teachings into the Eastern Region, they were compromising with Ziwei Great Emperor.

However, just then, the enormous bubble suspended in the Mahavira Hall suddenly changed, displaying a scene that altered the expressions of the monks, even making the Buddha clench his fingers.

...

The sky above Chang’an City was brightly lit by the fierce sun.

Liu Xiu, dressed in the royal crown of the Human King, stood on the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon formed by the convergence of the Human Race’s destiny.

Ao Lie maintained his true dragon form, a ten-thousand-zhang-long Four-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The brothers had just repelled the Heavenly Punishment and were preparing to descend to meet their master when suddenly, a vast expanse of dark clouds, accompanied by a towering demonic aura, rapidly approached from the distant horizon.

Several figures of Demon Kings stood atop the dark clouds.

The citizens of Chang’an City, upon seeing this spectacle, were all panicked.

Liu Xiu spoke to calm the citizens, his voice spreading throughout Chang’an, "Guests have arrived; do not panic."

Then, a hearty laughter echoed from afar, "The manifestation of Human Path is a grand event beneficial to all spirits. Demon Kings of the Demon World—Bull Demon King, Flood Dragon Demon King, Roc Demon King, Lion Camel King, Yu Monkey King, and Macaque King—have specifically come to thank the Human King and celebrate Great Han’s ascension to Yun Chao!"

Sun Wukong also stepped into the air, greeting the six kings of the Demon World.

Not only were the Bull Demon King and others present, but many more big and small Demon Kings, invited by various means, gathered above Chang’an City; the sky was filled with demonic energy for a time.

These Demon Kings all had one thing in common, they understood decorum.
