Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 268: The Birth of Sun Wukong, the Eve of the Journey to the West
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years have passed.

During this period, many things happened in the prehistoric world, among which three were the most shocking.

First, the Witch Clan has once again gained a firm foothold in the ancient universe and now occupies hundreds of worlds.

There are even more than a dozen great worlds among them, and the number of the witch clan has increased by hundreds or thousands of times, far exceeding their peak period.

Secondly, just as all the creatures in the ancient world thought, without external troubles, the Humane Dynasty would eventually have internal troubles.

As the Humane Dynasty has more and more members and occupies more and more territory, the forces that emerge are also increasing.

In addition, with the absence of external threats, gradually, conflicts began to arise among the internal members of the Humane Dynasty for the sake of interests or other reasons.

Later, even a fierce war broke out.

Today, every force in the Humane Dynasty is equivalent to a race in the past.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this kind of battle is a racial war.

None of the saints intervened in this scene, and Huang Long did the same.

With the void battlefield carrying the battles, even if the entire Humane Dynasty is at war, it will not affect the evolution of the prehistoric world.

Therefore, as long as these forces do not do anything to separate the Humanitarian Dynasty and cause the human destiny to fall apart.

Even if they beat their brains out, Huang Long wouldn't care.

The third is related to Western Buddhism.

Many years ago, Xiniu Hezhou became the territory of Buddhism and was completely controlled by them.

But they were not satisfied with this, and like other forces, they began to plan for the heavens and all worlds.

This is not something too bizarre. The entire prehistoric world is doing this. As a saintly sect, it is reasonable for Buddhism to do the same, and it is not worthy of too much attention.

The reason why the actions of Buddhism attract the attention of all heavens and worlds is that their practices are somewhat unacceptable to people.

Any world they occupy, whether it is the indigenous people or the races that migrated here from the primitive world, will be forcibly converted by them as long as they do not have a strong enough background.

Because of this, the fortune of Buddhism has skyrocketed several times in more than one million years.

At the beginning, all the races in the heavens did not realize this.

By the time they realized it, the fortune of Buddhism had already surpassed that of the Jiejiao and Chenjiao, and was on the verge of prosperity.

As the fortune of Buddhism grew and its size expanded, they once again began to harbor evil intentions towards the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and other powerful forces.

After years of planning, they learned from past failures and began to quietly take action against the fringe forces of these powerful tribes, hoping to convert some of the members of these tribes to Buddhism.

However, paper cannot contain the fire.

As long as they do it, it will be discovered sooner or later.

However, Buddhism is now extremely prosperous and has many powerful people. Some major races and sects do not want to fight with Buddhism because of some marginal forces.

Rather than engaging in direct warfare, they would rather fight against Buddhism secretly.

So although everything seems calm on the surface, there are undercurrents in private.

But the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan don’t care so much. The Buddhist sect has the support of Jie Yin and Zhunti, and they also have Huang Long standing behind them.

Even if Huang Long did not take action, Zulong and Yuanfeng were both Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, with combat power close to the second level of saints, and were not inferior to Jieyin and Zhunti.

In terms of top combat power, they are no weaker than Buddhism.

As for the mid-to-high-end combat power, even though they have a gap compared with the Buddhist sect, they are not fighting alone.

The Underworld, the Earth Immortal Palace, and the Guixu lineage are all their allies.

Even if a war breaks out, the ones we should really fear are Buddhism.

Therefore, when the Dragon and Phoenix tribes realized that Buddhism was reaching out to their own people, they took direct action to stop the Buddhist Bodhisattvas who were involved in the matter.

If Maitreya takes action in the end, all these Bodhisattvas will have to die in the four seas and the immortal volcano.

But even so, they suffered heavy losses.

After seeing the attitudes of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, Buddhism had no choice but to temporarily exclude the Wind and Dragon clans and focus more energy on other powerful clans.

In addition, as the fortune of Buddhism grew, the relationship between them and the Xuanmen became increasingly tense, and there was a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Huang Long saw all of this but did not say anything. He was still comprehending the great Dao and perfecting the arrangements for the Journey to the West.

Strictly speaking, Huang Long had already started planning in this regard before the Conferred God Tribulation.

In the time traveler's memory, when Dayu was controlling the flood, he killed Wuzhiqi on the spot.

But after Huanglong intervened, Wuzhiqi survived as the water god of the Huai River.

Now his cultivation has greatly improved and he has become a powerful person in the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

According to the memories of time travelers, the prototype of one of the protagonists of Journey to the West - the Monkey King Sun Wukong - is Wuzhiqi.

After observing for these years, Huang Long felt that this might not be a rumor.

He discovered that Wuzhiqi's personality was very similar to the Sun Wukong in the time traveler's memory.

The reason why he stopped Dayu from controlling the flood was not because he wanted to make things difficult for the human race.

The fundamental reason is that the Huai River has always been his territory, and it was Dayu's job to control floods.

Although it is a huge achievement for the human race, it improves the living environment of the human race and benefits thousands of people.

But for Wuzhiqi, isn't this equivalent to forcibly demolishing his hometown? How can he tolerate such a thing?
In addition, his character was one of hatred of evil, so naturally he would not retreat. This is why there was the story of Wuzhiqi obstructing Dayu's efforts to control the flood.

But looking at it from another perspective, what was wrong with Wuzhiqi?
Just like Sun Wukong wants the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain to live forever and wants to protect Huaguo Mountain.

Wuzhiqi just wanted to protect his Huai River. For this reason, even though he knew he could not win, he still had to fight the human coalition forces!
This is no different from Sun Wukong's character.

After observing for these years, Huang Long increasingly felt that the Sun Wukong in the time traveler's memory was the one inspired by the Heavenly Saint based on Wuzhiqi.

If that’s the case, then why not just let the prototype, Wuzhiqi, reincarnate as Sun Wukong?
Therefore, under Huang Long's manipulation, Wuzhiqi temporarily handed over the authority of the Huai River to Daluo of the Dragon Clan, and asked him to take charge of the Huai River water affairs.

Wuzhiqi quietly came to the underworld, passed the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and was reincarnated into a magical stone in the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Time turns.

this day.

In Dongsheng Shenzhou, on a vast island, a stone monkey jumped out from a nine-orifice magic stone.

This monkey scratching his ears and cheeks is a major protagonist of Journey to the West, the future Monkey King Sun Wukong, and now a nameless stone monkey.

However, unlike what the time traveler remembered, this Sun Wukong was extremely friendly with the Way of Water as soon as he was born, and there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body.

It was obvious that he was born with an excellent foundation and was a creature suitable for practicing the great way of water.

The reason why he has such a background is naturally because he is the reincarnation of Wuzhiqi. As a Daluo Jinxian and the water god of the Huaihe River, his reincarnation was also arranged by Huanglong.

Is it justifiable that one has a bad background?

The birth of Sun Wukong also means that the Journey to the West calamity has begun.

However, in this catastrophe, Huang Long will be the biggest manipulator behind the scenes.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the Journey to the West catastrophe is over, it won’t take long for the prehistoric world to be promoted to the eternal world.

No matter how prepared he is at that time, he will try to break through to the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian.

Huang Long had a feeling that Hongjun was not far from a breakthrough.

If he has not made a breakthrough recently, he will take that crucial last step after his promotion to the post-Honghuang realm and become the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian.

Therefore, Honghuang's promotion to the eternal world is an important time node for Huanglong.

If he could take the last step ahead of time, Hongjun would no longer be any threat.

If Hongjun gets ahead of him, he will become more passive.

One wrong move might lead to a complete loss of everything, millions of investments would go to waste, and one might even lose hope of making further progress in his lifetime, stopping at the gate of the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian.

The Journey to the West catastrophe is the last catastrophe before the promotion to the prehistoric world, and it is of vital importance to Huang Long.

For the sake of his own path, he must make all preparations during this period and have absolute control over the Journey to the West catastrophe.

For this matter, Huang Long did not just change the protagonist of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong.

After setting up the Dutian Shensha Zhenling Array and allowing the Wu Clan to return to the prehistoric stage, Huang Long began to integrate the demon clan and let them occupy the vast world.

This world is the demon world.

After these years of recuperation, and with the help of Huanglong's resources, the demon clan has grown much stronger, with many Daluo Jinxian and even a few quasi-saints appearing.

The purpose of Huang Long doing this is to select talents for the eighty-one tribulations of Journey to the West.

In the memories of time travelers, there is a saying that the monsters that Sun Wukong encountered on his journey to the West were all dramas dominated by bigwigs from all sides.

Huang Long's plan is to directly lead the eighty-one tribulations of the Journey to the West.

In this way, he can better control the end time of the Journey to the West catastrophe, and thus indirectly control the time when the prehistoric world is promoted to the eternal world.

However, it would not be easy for him to achieve this.

After the birth of Sun Wukong, the Sage of Heaven felt something.

I know that the great catastrophe of Journey to the West is coming, I know that this will be the last catastrophe of the prehistoric world, and I know that after this catastrophe, the prehistoric world will be promoted to an eternal world.

In addition to knowing all this, Hongjun, like Huanglong, also knew that the day when Honghuang was promoted to the eternal world would be the day when he would attain enlightenment.

The path he is going to take is bound to conflict with Huang Long's interests.

Although he didn't know Huang Long's specific plan, he could sense a sense of crisis, a crisis coming from Huang Long.

If Huang Long were allowed to attain enlightenment first, then even if he could attain the status of Hunyuan Wuda Daluo Jinxian, he would not be able to become an existence that surpasses the great god Pangu as he is envisioning now.

After all, Huang Long has made so many efforts for the prehistoric world, how could he possibly watch Hongjun do this?

Therefore, the Journey to the West catastrophe is also a crucial node for Hongjun, and he must intervene in this matter.

But he did not act in a hurry. Instead, like the Sage of Heaven, he began to deduce what Huang Long had done over the years.

Soon, they noticed the demon world and understood part of Huang Long's plan.

At the same time, they also realized what benefits they would gain if this world became a real demon world.

So, they began to follow suit.

Nuwa did not choose to start from scratch in other worlds. Instead, as the Demon King, she took the powerful demons from Jinxiutian to participate in the transformation of the demon world.

Huang Long had no objection to this.

In other words, his original intention was to let Nuwa participate in it.

Only in this way could his plan of cultivating the demon race and completing the 81 difficulties be better concealed.

When the transformation of the demon world was officially completed, the Great Dao bestowed a large amount of merit, and Nuwa and the powerful demons all increased their cultivation.

After being transformed by Nuwa and the powerful demon clan, this world has become extremely suitable for the demon clan to survive. Whether it is practicing or realizing the truth, the demon clan can achieve twice the result with half the effort in the demon world.

On the contrary, other races will be suppressed in the demon world. Not to mention that everything goes wrong, their cultivation will also encounter many obstacles, their combat effectiveness will be affected, and they will not be able to exert their full strength.

The Three Pure Ones chose a world occupied by the human race and transformed it into a world like Kyushu, suitable only for human survival.

And move the Fire Cloud Cave out of Jiuzhou and place it in this world, making this world the second Jiuzhou world, giving the human race an extra retreat and an extra trump card.

At the same time, the Three Pure Ones opened up three more great worlds above the thirty-three heavens.

From then on, there were thirty-six heavens in heaven, and the last three heavens were called the Three Pure Heavens, also collectively known as the Daluo Heaven.

Only the Golden Immortals of the Three Pure Ones are qualified to stay here.

The two saints in the West are equally outstanding.

They joined forces with Sakyamuni, Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya and other great Buddhists to open up a vast world in Xiniu Hezhou, which was called the Buddhist Realm.

On the day when the world was established, not only did the two saints from the West make great progress in cultivation, but so did other great Buddhist masters.

Sakyamuni's cultivation successfully entered the quasi-saint perfection and he became the most powerful person in Buddhism except for the saints.

Vairocana Tathagata, Medicine Master and Maitreya also made significant improvements in their cultivation.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva also took this opportunity to complete their foundation and achieve quasi-saint status.

He became the chief of the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, and his status was no less than that of the Buddha.

In addition, all races in the heavens also imitate the saints to transform the world they live in.

The emergence of these worlds not only made the Three Thousand Great Avenues more stable, but also made the prehistoric world more perfect, satisfying the last prerequisite for promotion to the eternal world.

Therefore, the catastrophe of Journey to the West is no longer a secret, and the prehistoric world has taken the initiative to reveal it.

As long as one's cultivation reaches the level of Daluo Jinxian, one can vaguely feel that the great catastrophe of the Journey to the West is about to occur.

They also know that this will be the last catastrophe.

If you want to gain more benefits after the prehistoric world is promoted to the eternal world, you must participate in this catastrophe.

At the same time, they also knew that this catastrophe was also related to the prosperity of Buddhism.

As a result, all the races in the heavens began to make arrangements for the Journey to the West calamity, especially the Buddhist sect...
