Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 274 - 255: The Calamity of Measurement Has Arrived Part 2

Chapter 274: Chapter 255: The Calamity of Measurement Has Arrived Part 2

"I just hope it won’t threaten this world," said the Supreme Elder with a wave of his horsetail whisk, his gaze falling upon the mortal realm. freёweɓnovel.com

Meanwhile, the thoughts of the mighty ones from all corners of the Three Realms diverged, with most taking a wait-and-see approach and very few deciding to enter the fray.

After all, the Divine Enthronement calamity had passed just a thousand years ago, which was like yesterday for the immortals. Unless absolutely necessary, no one dared to get involved in another calamity.

...

Elsewhere, the Demon King rushed to the Ancestral Martial Palace in Chang’an City and called out to Sun Wukong upon arrival, "Ancestral Martial, something terrible has happened!"

Since Sun Wukong became the Ziwei Great Emperor, he had changed the way he addressed him, no longer calling him "worthy brother."

Although the Demon King was a straightforward bull, he was not a fool and understood this much.

At this moment, Sun Wukong seemed not at all surprised, only chuckling lightly, "Is it that the West has become unpredictable?"

"Ancestral Martial truly has divine foresight," the Demon King did not forget to praise before hurriedly elaborating on the changes in the West, "Recently, under the Buddha Sect’s influence, many kingdoms in the West have pledged allegiance to Tianzhu Country, honoring it as the suzerain nation.

Now, much of the West’s destiny has been concentrated in Tianzhu, and it will likely not be long before they can be promoted to be the righteous dynasty of the Human Race!"

"Oh?" Sun Wukong’s lively eyes darted around, thanks to the introductions by patrons on the net, he was not unfamiliar with this kingdom under Mount Ling.

But the problem was, hadn’t the Buddha himself said that the West was originally a land of demons and could not establish a unified Human Race dynasty? Why the sudden change now?

The Demon King clearly didn’t know, and he then detailed the current situation in Tianzhu, such as King Zhou Kao having recently ascended the throne and venerating Jia Ye as the national advisor.

"Zhou Kao?" Sun Wukong thought hard for a moment, certain he had never heard of this person, nor had the patrons on the net mentioned him.

The Demon King, worried, said, "Ancestral Martial, if the Buddha Sect truly intends to use Tianzhu to unify the West, they will surely set their sights on my reckless bull clan’s territory, we must make plans as soon as possible."

Sun Wukong put his doubts aside for the moment and snickered, "Have you ever heard that ’to learn from me is to flourish, to imitate me is to perish’?"

The Han empire had been established for two hundred years and had been recognized as the righteous dynasty for over a hundred years, growing its strength much faster than those smaller nations in the West.

The various inventions and skills that the patrons on the net had taught were already taking root and growing in the Han empire, some growing into towering trees.

For instance, the Spirit Guiding Instrument-based trains and flying machines had already begun to be implemented in many parts of Southern India.

It wouldn’t be long before the Han empire’s industrial civilization would shine brightly.

The Demon King understood this as well, but he was still somewhat worried because the Buddha Sect was the one backing Tianzhu.

And the territory of the reckless bull clan spanned across Western Niu Hezhou, Northern Jambudvipa, and Southern India, which usually brought many benefits to his clan.

But once the situation in the Three Realms changed, this place would become a strategic location, especially for the Buddha Sect, who would not tolerate him!

He had been vigilant about this for many years, and it wasn’t until he found support in Sun Wukong and the reckless bull clan became a totem of the Han empire that he felt a bit more confident.

Seeing the Demon King’s worries, Sun Wukong laughed again and said, "Old Bull, no need to worry, when I told you to guard your lands well a hundred years ago, I had already started preparing,

Just take this Array Plate back and set it up properly. With this array, reinforcements can arrive at any time."

With that, he produced an Array Plate glowing with treasure light.

"This is?" The Demon King asked, puzzled.

"This is a Transfer Array," Sun Wukong explained with a smile, "Be it a thousand or ten thousand people, with this array, they can be transported instantly across millions of miles!"

The Demon King, upon hearing this, was visibly incredulous. Could there really be such a grand array in the world?

Techniques like Escape Skills and Divine Skills, such as the Traverse the Earth Golden Light and Roc Spreading Wings, were indeed fast, but they were limited to the individual speed of the cultivator.

This Transfer Array, however, could shift thousands or tens of thousands of people at once!

"Ancestral Martial’s abilities are truly beyond our comprehension," marveled the Demon King, before taking his leave to rush back to Emerald Cloud Mountain, Banana Leaf Cave.

Sun Wukong sat alone in the main hall of the Ancestral Martial Palace, pondering deeply but still not understanding why the Buddha Sect would suddenly change their strategy.

He then opened the Advising System, connected his consciousness to Zhi Hu, and posted a question.

"I am Sun Wukong. I have just learned that under the help of the Buddha Sect, Tianzhu Country has subdued the western countries and established the Tianzhu Dynasty. May I ask the seniors, what is the intention of the Buddha Sect in doing this?"

At the same time, he attached the situation in Tianzhu and the circumstances of the eastern and western regions below the question, such as the importance of the territory of Demon King Niumo and the matter of Zhou Kao ascending the throne of Tianzhu.

After a while, many replies appeared.

I’m just a Titi: "The Buddha Sect probably sees no hope of the Buddhist Law flourishing in the Eastern Land, so they chose to establish a dynasty of the Human Race in the West, right?

After all, if a unified dynasty is established in the West, there is a great chance that the Buddhist Law will prosper."

Afraid of Cold and Heat: "That shouldn’t be the case. Liu Xiu did not ban the Buddha Sect from spreading the law in the Great Han. As long as those monks abide by the law, there is still hope for the Buddha Sect to flourish in the Eastern Land."

Twenty-four Meows: "Moreover, Tathagata has said that the West is originally a land of demons and did not agree with Guanyin’s proposal to establish a dynasty of the Human Race in the West. A being of his level usually does not easily change his decision,

so the sudden establishment of the Tianzhu Dynasty definitely has some issues."

"Wukong had the same thought, but where is the problem?" Sun Wukong scratched his face. He had many guesses but couldn’t be sure, as he couldn’t go to Mount Ling to get a clear answer.

He continued to read the following replies.

Gong Xiaotian: "There must be an internal issue in the West. It’s a pity that Monkey Bro and the Buddha Sect are on such bad terms; otherwise, he could go to the Great Thunder Monastery and ask Tathagata what’s going on."

God wants there to be ice: "If Monkey Bro can’t ask, others can. Isn’t Golden Cicada the master of the Great Han? Just let him go back and snoop around."

Lucky Jia: "Golden Cicada—The Years I Spied in the Buddha Sect..."

Person Jie Di Ling Akam: "Damn, this is interesting! You could even bring Guanyin Bodhisattva into this. I see now, her position in the Buddha Sect has always been very subtle. There’s a chance to win her over and have her help gather information."

Star Moon of the Night Sky: "It is indeed possible to win over Guanyin. She is not the kind of person who devotes herself selflessly for the public good. She won’t give herself to the Buddha Sect without expecting something in return.

That much is clear from the journey to the West. Guanyin has always been up to small tricks, working to her own advantage.

For example, the Golden Pond Elder at Guanyin Zen Temple and the Black Bear Spirit, the Spirit King of Tongtian River, Red Boy at Withered Pine Streamlet, and the two golden hoops out of the three given by Tathagata, she kept for herself."

[You have received a new suggestion: Send Golden Cicada back to Mount Ling to investigate and find out the internal issue of the Buddha Sect. Completing this suggestion may reward you with a seventh-tier treasure chest.]

[You have received a new suggestion: Win over Guanyin to help gather information. Completing this suggestion may reward you with an eighth-tier treasure chest.]

"Hmm, not bad, not bad," Sun Wukong scratched his hand.

The former suggestion was something he had thought of himself, and the latter, winning over Guanyin, he had indeed not considered, but it might be worth a try.

He looked at more replies.

Longing for the Sun Fat Cat: "Zhou Kao... I’ve never heard of this person, nor does it seem to be a name from that part of the world."

Looking Forward to Our Meeting: "Zhou, Kao, could it be that it’s Bo Yikao reincarnated?"

Just Cease: "It must be Bo Yikao!"

"Bo Yikao?" Sun Wukong’s scratching hand paused there, somewhat surprised.

He had a profound impression of this former Ziwei Great Emperor, since he was once an opponent.

But to infer from the name alone seemed unreliable. More evidence would be needed.

Egg and Cucumber Noodles: "If Zhou Kao is Bo Yikao, then we can boldly speculate that the sudden change in the Buddha Sect might be linked to this Zhou Kao.

Since Bo Yikao is the reincarnated body of the Dark Demon God and aligned with the Demon Sect,

and Ran Deng once recruited many powerful figures from the demonic path, including the Asura army general known as Mad King Luo Hou, Youyu.

I remember an older brother said before, after the Earthen Path and Human Path grew stronger, the Demon Sect would take a dangerous gamble to open the Luo Tian Seal, but they have been quiet for years, which is evidently not normal.

Shall we boldly guess that the Demon Sect might already have significant influence in the Buddha Sect, and that’s why the Buddha Sect is not worried about the West reverting to a land of demons?"
