Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 312 - 212 Moving House

Thinking of this, the Buddha nodded and said, "Well, then move them back. You can choose three thousand Buddhist Disciples from Mount Ling, with the help of the Eight Divisions of Celestial Dragons to take care of those children. This way, you can also calm your mind to teach Tang Sanzang."

Guanyin Bodhisattva originally had no expectations for these individuals to take over the significant challenges he faced; his main purpose for coming here was to solve the children’s problem.

Since the Buddha had spoken thus, he felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Buddha."

The Buddha indicated that the Bodhisattva could take a seat to the side.

The other Bodhisattvas and Arhats also made room, some even reaching out to help with the children. Though the Great Hero Treasure Hall briefly filled with the scent of milk, it didn’t cause any major disturbances.

The Buddha said, "Recently, Ksitigarbha sent word that the Blood Sea and Nether River are boiling, and the Asura Clan is about to emerge. How do you all see this matter?"

"Buddha, the Nether River Clan has remained sealed for countless years, from the primordial era to the present, always silent. Suddenly, they are unsealing to emerge, which likely indicates trouble brewing. We must be on guard!"

"The Nether River lineage, naturally combative, also consumes resources far beyond other races. Most importantly, they believe in the rule that power dictates territory; whatever can be taken, belongs to them. With such a temperament, once they emerge, peaceful coexistence would be difficult."

"Not only is the Nether River lineage aggressive, but they also reproduce exceedingly fast, their population vast like locusts. Once they emerge, there will inevitably be a tremendous demand for land, and they will surely come into conflict with other forces. A major battle seems unavoidable."

Everyone spoke at once, but unanimously, they felt that the emergence of the Nether River Clan would surely bring about a storm of blood and violence. Discover more stories at novelbuddy

The Buddha nodded slightly and said, "The predecessors of my Buddhism school were originally from the Western Sect. Before the two Sect Hierarchs created the Western Sect or attained sainthood, they wandered the world and came into contact with the Lord of Styx. It is said, the Lord of Styx was a man of obsession, dominance, and tyranny.

He was born in the Blood Sea and Nether River, claiming he would be immortal until the Nether River ran dry.

Moreover, the Nether River itself was shaped from the corrupt blood of Pan Gu, and over these countless years, has absorbed the foul blood of the Ten Thousand Realms, making it the most yin and darkest place between heaven and earth.

Even Saints do not dare claim they can purify the Blood Sea and Nether River.

After all, even if it were purified, as long as there are evil thoughts in the hearts of sentient beings, pollution and wickedness would converge again, causing the Nether River to reappear."

Therefore, he is as if possessed of an immortal body.

In addition, with the twin swords of Abyssa and Yuan Tu, evolved from the Pan Gu embryo in his possession, his cultivation spans across ancient and present times, mysteriously unfathomable.

Even the Sect Hierarchs of the time had to retreat before him.

In his pursuit to attain sainthood, he imitated Nuwa in creating humans by founding the Asura Tribe, but the resulting karma was so immense that he failed to become a Saint.

Angered, he brandished his swords, leading countless of the Asura Tribe out of the Blood Sea and Nether River, seeking an explanation…"

At this point, the Buddha fell silent.

The crowd all looked up, asking, "We know all this, but what happened afterward? How did the Nether River come to be sealed?"

The Buddha said, "It is said that when he emerged from the Nether River, he encountered an immensely powerful being who forced him to retreat back into the Nether River and remain sealed to this day."

The crowd said, "There were many rumors at the time; we didn’t expect the one most considered improbable to be true!

The Lord of Styx is nearly immortal, and armed with his swords, his Divine Skills mysteriously unfathomable, who beneath the Saints could claim sure victory over him? Could it have been a Saint who intervened?"

"Could it be Nuwa herself?"

The crowd speculated one after another.

The Buddha shook his head and said, "The two Sect Hierarchs asked Nuwa, and she denied it. Moreover, even Nuwa couldn’t divine who was responsible. The Three Pure Ones also denied their involvement…

With all six Saints denying involvement, the only answer left."

The crowd exclaimed, "Hongjun Laozu?"

The Buddha said, "Although the Ancestor is known for not meddling in mortal affairs, if all other Saints deny action, then the only possibility left is the Ancestor. Indeed, others may be able to defeat the Lord of Styx, but to make him fear and seal himself thus, I cannot think of anyone else capable."

"My friends, regardless, we cannot remain indifferent to the emergence of the Nether River Clan. When the time comes, we inevitably will have to intervene…" the Buddha said.

The crowd bowed in unison, "It shall be as you say."

...

"What? Moving?" Tang Sanzang tossed the large fish in his hand into the mouth of a whale, puzzled.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin said, "Yes, we are going to Mount Meru."

"I’m not going!" Tang Sanzang immediately refused.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin said, "There will be more people there to help you with the childcare."

"Let’s go then!"

Tang Sanzang got up right away, calling everyone to set out.

Watching his figure from behind, the Bodhisattva Guanyin shook her head and said, "So pragmatic!"

Now that Tang Sanzang had agreed, things were simple. The Bodhisattva Guanyin waved her hand, and a multitude of auspicious clouds lifted up three thousand children and a nanny whale into the sky, flying towards Mount Meru.

Midway, Ju Liusun wore a hesitant expression, as if he had something to say but was holding back.

Tang Sanzang said, "If you’ve got something to say, say it."

Ju Liusun said, "Elder Tang, you see... now that we’ll have enough help there, can I go back?"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Sanzang nodded, "You can."

Ju Liusun was overjoyed.

Tang Sanzang said, "However, you’ll need to take care of my meals on the mountain. Every meal must include meat, prepared in a variety of ways. If it isn’t tasty, you’ll come back and lay eggs for me."

Ju Liusun immediately had a bitter look on his face, "Elder Tang, but that’s Mount Meru. Everyone there is a monk practicing Buddhism, eating vegetarian meals. You going up there to eat meat? That’s not good."

Scratching his chin, Tang Sanzang said, "Yeah, it does seem a bit inappropriate."

"Exactly!" Ju Liusun exclaimed.

Tang Sanzang said, "So, just ask them all to leave the mountain. If I’m alone up there, then there’s nothing inappropriate about it."

Ju Liusun: "@#￥..."

As Ju Liusun was wrestling with the dilemma, Tang Sanzang suddenly leaned in, "If you can’t make it happen, then just be a good lad and lay eggs."

"Can I apply to do childcare instead?" Ju Liusun asked.

Tang Sanzang said, "The Bodhisattva mentioned that there will be people for that, they don’t lack one like you. You’d better stick to laying eggs!"

Imagining himself squatting on a branch on Mount Meru, laying eggs while being watched by thousands of Buddhist disciples, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Venerables... Ju Liusun felt as if he’d lost all face. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Alright, I’ll cook for you!"

"You guarantee it’ll be tasty?"

"Absolutely tasty!"

"Deal!"

Tang Sanzang laughed happily.

Before long, the group arrived at Mount Meru.

No sooner had they descended from the clouds than a monk came to greet them — it was the Venerable Ananda.

"Bodhisattva, the Buddha has already arranged places for everyone to stay, please follow me," Ananda said kindly and benevolently.

But the next moment, as the auspicious clouds settled, the three thousand children, thrilled by the new environment, cried out loudly and charged over like a tidal wave, instantly covering Ananda from head to toe.

With a defeated look, Ananda pointed in a direction and said, "This way, please."
