In my later years, when I attained the Holy Body, I can travel through the prehistoric world

After Emperor Li Shimin led a million Tang troops to march into the western land, the Taoists Zhunti and Jie Yin in the secret realm of Lingshan were the first to receive the news.

"Brother Jie Yin, what should we do?" The face of the Taoist Zhunti was gloomy.

After hearing that the human army was marching westward, he was a little at a loss. Even though he racked his brains, he had never expected such a situation.

Long before, when Sun Wukong continued his journey to the west, he was somewhat confused about Yang An's true purpose.

Logically speaking, Sun Wukong had already achieved quasi-sainthood with the help of Yang An, so there was no need for him to continue his journey to the West.

Moreover, given Yang An's relationship with the Western religion, Yang An should not allow the Journey to the West to proceed smoothly.

It was not until today that he understood that Sun Wukong's attainment of Quasi-Sainthood was just Yang An's apparent arrangement, the purpose of which was to attract their attention.

Yang An’s real purpose has always been to gather the human army and order the Emperor to lead the army towards the western land.

The Western Church has ruled the Western Land for many years. Naturally, he is clear about the situation in the Western Land. The army led by Emperor Li Shimin is enough to sweep across the Western Land.

He originally wanted to continue planning the Journey to the West with Brother Jie Yin, but now that the Western Expedition has already happened, he no longer has any idea of ​​planning the Journey to the West.

“I never expected that Yang An would have such a plan!” Taoist Jie Yin also sounded angry.

He was also caught off guard by this matter.

The inability to control Sun Wukong will affect the Journey to the West to a certain extent, but they have already thought of a way to attack Sun Wukong again.

But this Western Expedition completely disrupted their plans.

Before this, after Confucius Xuan established Mahayana Buddhism, it had already influenced Western religions, but they, the Western religions, still had a chance after all.

All the things that had happened had already made them anxious and worried, and this incident happened again today, so he was naturally very anxious.

"We must stop the Western Expedition. If we don't stop it, how can our Western Religion flourish!" said the Taoist Zhunti.

The Journey to the West was originally an opportunity for the rise of their Western religion.

But if the Western Expedition goes smoothly, then even if Western religion flourishes, it will have nothing to do with the two of them.

Under such circumstances, he was naturally extremely anxious.

If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty completely occupied the Western Land, they would completely lose the Western Land as their base. Even if the Journey to the West was successfully promoted, it would be a loss.

In his opinion, if the sacrifices were not stopped, then their Western religion would never flourish and would be almost dead in name only.

After hearing the words of the Taoist Zhunti, the Taoist Jie Yin did not respond immediately. Instead, he shook his head after careful consideration.

"I'm afraid we can't stop the Western Expedition!" sighed the Jie Yin Taoist.

The Western land was originally a loose sand and could never be a match for the Tang army.

According to their original plan, Western religion wanted to use the Journey to the West to integrate the Western land into one complete and huge Buddhist country.

With such a basic foundation, coupled with the good fortune that Western Religion gained in Journey to the West, Western Religion will become the largest religion in the prehistoric world.

With the improvement of the status of Western religion, he and his fellow apprentice brother Zhunti can also gain some benefits.

But now, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has taken action first, and his purpose is very clear, which is to occupy the western land and complete the unification of the prehistoric land.

Stopping the Western Expedition was the first solution he thought of, but on second thought, the Western Expedition was not so easy to stop.

On the one hand, the Western religion has already split. If he and his junior brother Zhunti are unable to take action, the power of the Western religion may not be able to compete with the human race.

Even if they sought help from Yuanshi Tianzun and Jade Emperor Haotian, it would be impossible for the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court to help them with all their might.

What's more, the Western Expedition was obviously arranged by Yang An. If it was stopped, the Journey to the West would probably be delayed.

On the other hand, the most active religion in the Western world is Mahayana Buddhism. With the support of Kong Xuan, the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, shouldn't the Western Expedition army be able to advance triumphantly?
If you want to stop the Western Expedition, the current strength of the Western Church is simply not enough!

Apart from that, if you think about it carefully, it wasn’t all bad after the human race’s westward expedition to unify the ancient world.

Unifying the Western land was what they had always wanted to do, but it was done by the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, unifying the vast land will be beneficial to the spread of Buddhism to the east and the spread of Mahayana Buddhism.

Although Mahayana Buddhism has different doctrines from Western religions, it was ultimately derived from Western religions and is also a part of Western religions.

With their layout in Mahayana Buddhism, if they can take over the nest of Western religion in the future, the prosperity of Western religion will be beyond their imagination.

"Brother Jie Yin, your plan is indeed good, but can we just remain indifferent?" Zhunti Taoist also sighed.

He and Jie Yin were in tune with each other and naturally understood what was in Jie Yin's mind. He also understood that the Western Expedition would have certain benefits for Western religions.

But if he were to watch the Western Expedition happen and see the foundation of Western religion disappear, he would naturally be unwilling to accept it.

"Of course we can't remain indifferent. From today on, we need to lobby the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect.

When the journey to the west is over and the time is right, it will be our chance to take action!" The Taoist Jie Yin said confidently.

If the Western Church wants to carry out its plan smoothly, it cannot do it alone, and it also needs the help of other forces.

Before this, they had promised many benefits to the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect.

As the saying goes, too much debt is the best burden, and they don't mind continuing to promise more benefits to the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect.

Moreover, if they could replace Mahayana Buddhism, the benefits would be far beyond expectations.

He had already thought of the bargaining chips for lobbying the Chan sect, which was nothing more than giving the Chan sect some good fortune. Currently, none of the Chan sect's disciples could finally break through to the quasi-saint level, so what they lacked most was naturally these good fortunes.

As for the Heavenly Court, he had also made up his mind that as long as he gave up some of the beliefs and allowed the Heavenly Court to have the opportunity to collect the beliefs of the human race, the Jade Emperor Haotian would naturally agree.

With these two promises, he believed that the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court would certainly do their best to help.

As long as they wait until the Journey to the West is over and the catastrophe is over, they can take action.

With their preparations in Mahayana Buddhism, coupled with the help of the Chan school and the Heavenly Court, they can easily take over the nest.

After hearing the words of Taoist Jie Yin, Taoist Zhunti still felt a little unwilling, but this was already the best way.

If they want to take action, they can only wait for the Journey to the West to end and for the real opportunity to come.

At the same time, in Heaven, the Jade Emperor Haotian also witnessed the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition.

"My dear ministers, what do you think about the Tang Emperor's Western Expedition?" said the Jade Emperor Haotian.

Just like the establishment of Mahayana Buddhism, this incident itself had nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. Of course, the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition was also beyond his expectations.

However, as long as the Journey to the West continues, it will not have any impact on the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court will still get the benefits it deserves from the Journey to the West.

As long as the Journey to the West can be carried out smoothly and Buddhism can be spread to the East smoothly, that will be enough.

Besides, he didn't want to see Western religion flourish because of this. He thought the Western Expedition was destroying the foundation of Western religion, and he even felt a little gloating over it.

During the great catastrophe of Conferred Gods, the rise of Heaven was stopped by human race. Now that the great catastrophe of Journey to the West is approaching, the rise of Western religion is also stopped by human race.

Moreover, the Tang Emperor's Western Expedition was not all bad for the Heavenly Court; it even had some benefits.

After all, if the Tang Dynasty can continue to expand, then the power of the human race will also expand, and the benefits obtained by the Heavenly Court will also increase.

As for what harm this incident will cause to Western religions, what does it have to do with his Heavenly Palace?
Of course, this matter is not without disadvantages. If the human race becomes too powerful, the chances of controlling the human race in the future will increase further.

However, compared with the benefits brought by the current increase in human strength, these risks are not that great.

Instead, he was looking forward to seeing what methods the Western Church would use to stop the human race's eastward expedition.

The immortals and gods were discussing the matter, but for a moment they could not make up their minds and did not know how to answer Jade Emperor Haotian.

In the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the movements of the Tang army thoughtfully.

"It is not a good thing for the human race to be too powerful. If the Western religion requests it, the Chan religion should lend a helping hand!" Yuanshi Tianzun said to himself.

He was also very surprised about the Tang Emperor's Western Expedition.

The great catastrophe of Journey to the West was prepared for the prosperity of Western religion, so he naturally did not want to help Western religion sincerely.

Even if they tried to stop Master Tongtian, it was because the Western religion gave up some of its interests.

Moreover, if the journey to the West had developed as expected, even if it had been successful, it would have been the Western religions that would have benefited the most.

For the Chan Sect, it is not a good thing for the Western Sect to be too powerful, so he himself does not want to help.

But today's situation has made the situation different. He is even more unwilling to see the human race become too powerful.

If the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition is successful and the ancient world is unified by humanity, the human race's fortune will increase accordingly, and Yang An's strength will also be improved accordingly.

On the one hand, the strength of the human race is increasing, and on the other hand, the strength of Western religions is increasing.

Comparing the two, he naturally did not want to see the human race's strength increase, nor did he want to see the human race unify the western land.

He has made up his mind that if the Western Church asks the Chan Church for help and promises to give up some benefits, he will do his best to help the Western Church.

Of course, he was also very curious. After learning about the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition, what plans would the Taoist Zhunti and the Taoist Jie Yin have, and what methods would they use to stop it?

In addition to these three forces that have bad relations with the human race, other saints in this world are also paying attention to this matter.

In the Queen Nuwa Palace, Goddess Nuwa was smiling and was obviously very happy about Yang An's plan.

"This method is really amazing. Yang An is really resourceful!" Nuwa praised sincerely.

Even though she and Junior Brother Shangqing have joined forces with Yang An, they don't know what Yang An's plan is?

She was also very puzzled at first. Since Sun Wukong had already achieved the status of a quasi-saint, why did Yang An let Sun Wukong continue his journey to the West?
Logically speaking, the Journey to the West and the rise of Western religion were decided by the Taoist master Hongjun himself, and even if Sun Wukong attained the status of a quasi-saint, it could not be changed.

Now, she finally understood the truth of everything.

Yang An once again used similar tactics, just like he did back then, ostensibly letting Sun Wukong attract everyone's attention, but his real plan was to let the human race conquer the western land.

But now, the means by which the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty went west to conquer the world was like cutting off the source of the fire, hitting the vital point of Western religions. Even if she thought about it carefully, she could not imagine such a plan.

With the current strength of the human race and the cooperation of Kong Xuan, the leader of Mahayana Buddhism, the Western Expedition will surely be very smooth.

In her opinion, even if Western religions wanted to stop it, it would not be that easy.

In the Bajing Palace, Saint Taiqing had an intriguing expression.

"This Yang An is truly amazing!" Saint Taiqing said to himself.

Naturally, he was very surprised at the means of the Western Expedition.

He saw all of Yang An's plans, but he still couldn't figure out how Yang An would change Journey to the West?
But the means of the Western Expedition completely opened his eyes.

How could he have imagined that this catastrophe that was already doomed to be irreversible could be reversed in this way?

As long as the human race succeeds in its westward expedition, the entire human territory will include the vast land.

If the human race could unify the ancient land, even if Western religion flourished as a result, how could Mahayana Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism escape the control of the human race?
By that time, Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism will be just small sects among human beings. No matter how prosperous a sect is, it cannot change the status of human beings.

He was originally a little worried that the rise of Western religion would affect the human race, just like Western religion controlled the Western land.

If this is allowed to happen, the human race will inevitably be in chaos, which will also affect the pattern of the ancient world.

But now it seems that his worries were completely unnecessary. The Western Expedition is very likely to be successful. As long as it is successful, the Journey to the West will not have any impact on the human race.

In the Biyou Palace, Master Tongtian laughed unscrupulously.

"Young friend Yang An is truly amazing, worthy of being one of the escaped ones, to be able to think of such a method.

Who would have thought that the two great catastrophes of the world, Conferred Gods and Journey to the West, were all controlled by the planning of one person! "Tongtian said with a smile.

The Tang Emperor's expedition to the East has changed the meaning of Journey to the West. Journey to the West is no longer just Journey to the West.

He could now imagine the anger that would be expressed by the Taoists Zhunti and Jie Yin after they learned about this.

What Yang An planned was even more shocking to him than the improvement in Yang An’s own strength.

It doesn't take much thought to know that the Western Church is probably in a state of panic and is thinking about how to stop the Crusade.

Yang An's plan reminded him of his past memories, and he thought of the time when Yang An turned the tide during the Battle of the Gods.

If Yang An had not taken action, the Jiejiao would have fallen apart long ago, and the Heavenly Palace would have truly prospered.

And now, Yang An’s plan also prevented the rise of Western religion.

In his opinion, the Western Church might become desperate. He has made up his mind that as long as the Western Church wants to take action, he will definitely stand firmly on Yang An's side.

At this moment, he was looking forward to how the Western Church would stop this, and also looking forward to what other preparations Yang An had! (End of this chapter)
