"Has another Immeasurable Tribulation begun?"
The Sect Master Tongtian, who had been in seclusion in the Primordial Starry Sky, opened his eyes and looked down at the Primordial Continent, which had become even larger and more expansive.
In his perception, wisps of the aura of a Sisi Tribulation Qi appeared between heaven and earth, and were rapidly increasing.
If this trend continues, another Immeasurable Tribulation will begin in at most ten thousand years.
He broke through to the Heavenly Dao Realm hundreds of millions of years ago, and was subsequently invited by Wang Hao to cultivate in the Primordial Starry Sky, where he has been for hundreds of millions of years.
Meanwhile, since the last Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation, there has been a gap of hundreds of millions of years, and unexpectedly, another Immeasurable Tribulation has descended.
However, Wang Hao's plan was indeed correct; continuing to improve and strengthen the Primordial World could indeed greatly delay the arrival of the Immeasurable Tribulation.
Otherwise, this great Immeasurable Tribulation would have already erupted.
The Sect Master Tongtian stepped out of his secluded cultivation place and headed to the core of the starry sky to meet with Wang Hao and others. After all, the Immeasurable Tribulation was a major event that could not be taken lightly.
When the Sect Master Tongtian arrived, Tang Sanzang and the others also arrived one after another. Several powerful beings at the Heavenly Dao Realm from the Primordial World gathered here.
"Fellow Sanzang, the main force behind this Immeasurable Tribulation should be within your Buddhist Order."
The Sect Master Tongtian bluntly stated the result of his calculations: this was indeed Immeasurable Tribulation for Buddhist Order.
Since the Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation, Buddhist Order has flourished for a hundred million years, and it's time for it to decline.
This Immeasurable Tribulation is the calamity of Buddhist Order's decline!
Although the Buddhist Order is unlikely to be wiped out with Tang Sanzang, a powerful expert at the Heavenly Dao Realm, it will inevitably have to relinquish its position as the protagonist of the world.
After all, it has been long enough for Buddhist Order to flourish for an Immeasurable Tribulation, and it has already reached the limit that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness can tolerate.
"It should still be related to Luohu!"
He gave a slight, indifferent nod. He had also made calculations when the Immeasurable Tribulation began, and because he himself was the Buddha, his calculations were more detailed.
The current calamity of Buddhist Order's decline should be attributed to Luohu, but Luohu is only one of the main protagonists of this Immeasurable Tribulation; there is another Immeasurable Tribulation protagonist to be found.
"An army is raised for a thousand days to be used in one. I've trained that monkey for hundreds of millions of years. Whether he can overcome the final hurdle depends on himself."
Wang Hao spoke nonchalantly, clearly knowing more about this Immeasurable Tribulation than anyone else, and the monkey king Son Goku he mentioned was another protagonist in this Immeasurable Tribulation.
The last Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation was the struggle between Tang Sanzang and Luohu; this time, it's the turn of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Son Goku.
What you did today, you reap today!
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang sighed, sensing that the avatar he had left on Spirit Mountain was indeed having problems.
He obtained Luohu's Dao Fruit from the Emperor's Hatred Demon Saber. Although he had carefully absorbed and refined it, it still left hidden dangers.
Upon realizing something was amiss, he separated that hidden danger and transformed it into an avatar to guard Spirit Mountain in his stead.
The hidden danger that this incarnation was suppressing has finally erupted.
In the main hall of the Buddha on Spirit Mountain, the Buddha and demonic powers of the Sanzang, which had originally been fused into one, suddenly split apart, becoming distinctly separate. One half of the Buddha's body was painted gold, radiating brilliant Buddhist light, while the other half was black, exuding a sinister demonic aura.
Then, a golden and black lotus flower condensed above his head. This lotus flower took root in the Sanzang Incarnation, absorbing the primordial power within the Incarnation to nourish itself.
After it had completely devoured the entire Sanzang incarnation, the golden-black lotus flower had grown to a size of ten feet, eventually transforming into a lotus platform, enshrining the figure of a man with a vast aura.
"I, who Wutian, have today become the second-generation Ancestor of Buddha and Demon!"
The man spoke calmly, his words carrying the weight of law, announcing his existence to the entire Primordial World.
The first to object were naturally the many powerful figures in Spirit Mountain, but unfortunately they were all forcefully suppressed by Wutian, and no one could resist Wutian's power.
Because he was nurtured by the Sanzang Incarnations, he was already a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, not to mention that he also gained the Heavenly Mandate, enabling him to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness.
Luohu, hidden in the Primordial World, sensed Wutian's birth, broke through the Void and descended upon Spirit Mountain. After a wild laugh, he merged into Wu Tian's body, causing Wutian's aura to surge once again, instantly reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm Late Stage.
After hundreds of millions of years of recuperation, Luohu Hou has restored his original essence and become a powerful being in the Heavenly Dao Realm Late Stage. Although he cannot compare to his old rival Hongjun, he is still very powerful.
This was also the result of Wang Hao's planning. Although he delayed the Immeasurable Tribulation as much as possible, he also made the foundation of the Primordial World more and more profound, which led to a sharp increase in the destructive power generated by each outbreak of the Great Immeasurable Tribulation.
During the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, the competition was only at the Primordial Unity Realm level. Even though those Heavenly Dao Sage could mobilize the Power of the Heavenly Dao, it was not their own power after all, and they were still at the Primordial Unity Realm level.
By the time of the Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation, it had already reached the level of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
This Buddhist Order Immeasurable Tribulation is even more ruthless, directly raising the combat power to the level of the Heavenly Dao Realm Late Stage.
Sensing Wutian's immense power, Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Son Goku was in the Spirit Mountain, decisively took his wife, children, and three brothers and fled.
There was nothing he could do; even after cultivating for hundreds of millions of years, he was still stuck at the Peak Primordial Unity Realm.
The only positive thing is that he has a vague grasp of the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm. However, although he has grasped the opportunity, he is still a long way from actually breaking through.
Realizing that Wutian was a powerful being at the Heavenly Dao Realm, Son Goku had no choice but to flee.
The Qingshan, "Where there's life, there's hope." It would be a tragedy if they were directly suppressed by Wutian!
Wutian ignored Son Goku's escape and did not try to stop him.
At the same time he was born, he sensed that Son Goku was also the protagonist of the Immeasurable Tribulation, and that they would inevitably have a battle in the future.
Wutian would not directly eliminate this destined opponent, firstly because doing so would be against the Heavenly Mandate, and secondly because he wanted to fatten up Son Goku before killing him.
Once Son Goku raises his cultivation to the same level as himself, he can devour everything his opponent possesses after winning, thereby breaking through his own limits.
He is currently at the Heavenly Dao Realm Late Stage and is confident that he can raise his cultivation to the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm at the end of the Immeasurable Tribulation. The next challenge is how to break through to the Great Dao Realm.
This hurdle is far more difficult than breaking through from the Primordial Unity Realm to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although he considered himself exceptionally talented, he was not confident that he could break through on his own.
Therefore, he needs to rely on external forces, and Son Goku, the protagonist of another Immeasurable Tribulation, is the best choice.
"The Buddha Wutian his flowing long hair!"
In the Primordial Starry Sky, Wang Hao's divine eye peered through countless spaces at Wutian's image, especially his flowing long hair, which he found extremely incongruous.
Nowadays, almost everyone in Buddhist Order is bald, and even those who have hair do so with restraint.
But Wutian; he had knee-length hair that was countless times better than hair treated with Pantene.
However, this wasn't what Wang Hao really wanted to complain about; what he really wanted to complain about was Wutian himself.
This guy's appearance reminded him of a TV series he had watched before his time travel—" Journey to the West: The Sequel."
That was a really ridiculous TV series. The plot was so bad it made you Instinct. However, the main villain, Wutian Buddha, was portrayed quite well. He had long, flowing hair and was incredibly dashing. He was even listed as the most handsome villain of the year.
He is often mentioned alongside the Cult Master Baiyue from the Legend of Chinese Paladin series.
Unfortunately, our Wutian Buddha got a bit chubby later on, and when he went to film the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he almost didn't recognize him.
This Immeasurable Tribulation is somewhat similar to the plot of the Journey to the West: The Sequel, in Wutian is born and becomes Invincible from the moment he appears, with no one being his match.
Wutian, who had suppressed the billions of Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, did not launch another attack, but instead began to convert the billions of Buddhas of Spirit Mountain.
The Spirit Mountain Buddhist Order is now truly a place where Buddha and demon are one; one can become a Buddha or a demon in an instant.
This part of the demonic lineage originated from him, and with this Cause and Effect relationship, he was able to quickly demonize the billions of Buddhas in Spirit Mountain and turn them into his loyal subordinates.
Of course, these subordinates were just cannon fodder for him to help Son Goku grow. As long as Son Goku could grow to a level comparable to his own as soon as possible, then the sacrifice of these subordinates would be worthwhile.
Son Goku, who escaped from Spirit Mountain, was unaware that he had been targeted by Wutian and that countless Buddhas would be sent to hunt him down in the future.
For hundreds of millions of years, Son Goku has stayed in the Buddhist Order on Spirit Mountain, and he is quite familiar with the billions of Buddhas, and even has many close friends.
The fate ordained by the Wutian —to fight to the death with these closest friends, and even to ultimately send them to their doom—is far too cruel.
However, the harsh realities of life can also be the greatest catalyst for personal growth, pushing one's potential to its limits and unleashing incredible results.
Wang Hao and the others had anticipated this, but they did not stop it.
Firstly, there's no way to stop them, since they're still under the name of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness and can't stop the Heavenly Mandate set by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness.
Not to mention that this Heavenly Mandate was jointly established by Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness.
With their current strength, they have no way to resist and can only watch helplessly.
Secondly, this was also an opportunity for Son Goku. After all, under the care of Wang Hao and the Empress Nuwa, Son Goku's cultivation journey, while not entirely smooth sailing, did not encounter any major obstacles.
This kind of growth process is very bad. It lacks sufficient intensity of training. Although Son Goku is exceptionally talented, it is extremely difficult for him to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
They hadn't been able to bring themselves to do it before, but now that Wutian was stepping in to temper Son Goku, they were naturally happy to see it succeed.
If successful, Son Goku could resurrect all the countless Buddhas who had perished; if he failed, then all would be lost.
Therefore, everything hinges on Son Goku alone, and the final outcome depends on Son Goku.
Anyway, Wang Hao and the others have done all they can. Even if Son Goku ultimately fails, that's his fate, and he can't blame anyone else.
As for the billions of Buddhas who were corrupted by demons, it was also Cause and Effect and effect. After all, having enjoyed the Fortune of Buddhist Order for an era, they naturally had to pay the corresponding price.
This is also an opportunity for them to settle Cause and Effect karmic debts. If they can achieve final victory with Son Goku, they can be reborn, sever all past karmic Cause and Effect, and advance their cultivation to a higher level.
Of course, if it fails, then he will naturally die, but his true spirit will be reincarnated into the Six Paths of Reincarnation according to the contingency plan left by Tang Sanzang.
This matter could not be kept from Wutian, but Wutian did not want to go too far and anger Tang Sanzang, causing him to intervene in this Immeasurable Tribulation. Therefore, he would not interfere in this matter.
This is an unspoken understanding between the two parties, and neither side would rashly break it.
