even the subsequent establishment of Buddhism.

All of these had their reasons.

On one hand, Jieyin and Zhunti had made vows to become Saints, and they needed to fulfill those vows bit by bit.

On the other hand, even Saints pursued Merit and Destiny of Heaven and Earth.

Otherwise, why would the Battle of the Gods have occurred in the first place?

The Heavenly Origin Sect, Ren Sect, and Intercepting Sect all had their own pursuits.

"If there is Buddha in your heart, then demons are Buddha. If there is no Buddha in your heart, then Buddha is merely a demon," Ksitigarbha muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with light.

Gradually, this flicker of light grew firmer and firmer.

Ksitigarbha had known some of these things before, but he hadn't been able to grasp them.

Now, Wu Feng had revealed the truth before Ksitigarbha's eyes, making him understand that Buddhism was not his purpose, and he was not guarding Hell for Buddhism.

He was guarding it for Buddha.

A moment later.

Ksitigarbha slowly came back to his senses. He respectfully bowed to Wu Feng, "Thank you, Senior."

"You're welcome. You can take a look around my General Store. Perhaps there's something you need," Wu Feng said with a smile.

After guiding Ksitigarbha like this, Wu Feng wanted him to spend some money.

Letting him leave empty-handed wouldn't align with Wu Feng's initial intentions.

"Something I need." Ksitigarbha was taken aback. He scanned the counters before him, which were filled with all sorts of items.

There were Spiritual Treasures, Pills, and books.

However, Ksitigarbha couldn't discern the true nature of these items.

This was because these spiritual objects were shrouded in a peculiar power.

Only by spending Exchange Points would the treasures reveal their true brilliance.

Walking past a few counters, Ksitigarbha stopped in front of a book. He saw that its title was Seeking Demon.

Seeking Demon.

This resonated with the thoughts in his heart.

"I..." With a hint of longing, Ksitigarbha placed his hand on the book.

"..." Soon, Ksitigarbha felt awkward because he couldn't lift the book from the counter.

"Ksitigarbha, to pick up items from the counter, you need to spend Exchange Points. Ten Exchange Points will suffice," Wu Feng said with a laugh. "As for Exchange Points, you can trade your Cultivation Methods or treasures to me to obtain them."

"Oh, so that's how it is," Ksitigarbha suddenly understood.

Soon, Ksitigarbha gathered ten points. He opened the book Seeking Demon.

He hadn't even read a few pages before he was immersed in the text. Suddenly, the book vanished from his sight and returned to the counter.

"This..." Ksitigarbha was bewildered.

"That was just a preview. To continue reading, you'll need more points," Wu Feng said with a wolfish grin.

"Alright..." Ksitigarbha nodded.

Compared to Sun Wukong, Ksitigarbha, although also somewhat poor, had accumulated more Exchange Points.

After all, he knew far more Cultivation Methods than Sun Wukong.

He also possessed some Spiritual Treasures.

After all, Ksitigarbha was a Quasi-Saint level expert.

In the end, Ksitigarbha traded his treasures and Cultivation Methods for a full two thousand points, which was a substantial amount.

Then, Ksitigarbha picked up the book Seeking Demon again and began to read.

He had a hunch that this book would help him understand his path more clearly.

At the same time.

Taibai Jinxing arrived at Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Old Taoist, who are you? This is the Great King's territory," a monkey blocked Taibai Jinxing.

"I am Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Court, here to request an audience with your Great King," Taibai Jinxing said quickly.

This time, he was here to recruit them, so he naturally couldn't afford to leave a bad impression on Sun Wukong.

"Heavenly Court." The monkey's gaze held a hint of reverence.

To these demons, the Heavenly Court was always an unreachable existence.

"I understand. Old Taoist, please wait here for a moment. I will go and request an audience with the Great King immediately," the monkey said.

"Alright, alright. I will wait here," Taibai Jinxing said with a smile.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave.

"Great King, Great King, this is bad! Someone from the Heavenly Court is coming!" a monkey shouted loudly.

"Someone from the Heavenly Court is here." Sun Wukong, who was sitting on a stone chair eating a banana, had a radiant look in his eyes.

Not long ago, he remembered a similar scene in Journey to the West.

"Is that person from the Heavenly Court named Taibai Jinxing?" Sun Wukong said.

"Huh? Great King, how did you know?" the monkey was stunned. "That old Daoist is called Taibai Jinxing."

"Hmm, tell Taibai Jinxing to wait outside for a while. I have something to take care of first," Sun Wukong commanded.

"Yes, Great King, I'll tell that old Daoist right away." The monkey nodded.

And so, Taibai Jinxing waited outside for a long while before finally being brought to where Sun Wukong was.

"Sun Wukong, I am Taibai Jinxing from the Heavenly Court. I am here by order of the Jade Emperor to invite you to serve as an official in the Heavenly Court," Taibai Jinxing said quickly.

"An official in the Heavenly Court? What kind of official is it?" Sun Wukong said with great interest.

Sun Wukong already knew what kind of official he would become.

It was more like a petty clerk than an official.

Normally, Sun Wukong would have driven Taibai Jinxing away without a word, making him a petty clerk, which would have been an insult.

However, the current Sun Wukong had other ideas.

To read books from the shopkeeper, one needed Exchange Points.

The most direct way to get Exchange Points was through rare treasures.

The Heavenly Court had many treasures, which was Sun Wukong's goal.

"What kind of official?"

Taibai Jinxing showed a hint of embarrassment.

The position the Jade Emperor was offering Sun Wukong was indeed very, very small.

But Taibai Jinxing could not refuse the Jade Emperor's command, or he would also be punished.

"Sun Wukong, that official will manage many living beings, and his power is great," Taibai Jinxing explained.

"Manage many living beings?" Sun Wukong chuckled.

This Taibai Jinxing was quite good at explaining things.

Bimawen, after all, managed many horses, and horses were living beings.

These words were not wrong.

But someone who didn't know better might be misled by Taibai Jinxing's explanation and think their position was very important.

"Hmm, this position seems pretty good," Sun Wukong said directly without exposing the truth. "When do we head to the Heavenly Court?"

"Sun Wukong, you agree?" Taibai Jinxing was taken aback.

He hadn't expected to succeed so quickly, and he still had many things he wanted to say.

"Of course, do you want me to refuse?" Sun Wukong frowned.

"No, no, no, Great King, what are you saying? I'm just surprised, astonished," Taibai Jinxing said quickly. "If that's the case, we can leave now."

"No problem. I'll make arrangements for my subordinates, and then I'll head to the Heavenly Court with you," Sun Wukong nodded.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was eager to go to the Heavenly Court and turn the place upside down.

After all, the things there were bound to be better than those in the Underworld.

Just then.

A terrifying demonic energy erupted from a part of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The demonic energy was utterly horrifying.
