Not long after,

The Queen of the Women's Kingdom personally welcomed them.

A procession of attendants, like shooting stars, prepared the imperial carriage. Behold, though the Western Liang Kingdom is a land of women, its imperial carriage rivals the grandeur of the Central Plains. Six dragons, spraying vibrant colors, and two phoenixes, symbolizing good fortune, propelled the carriage forth. A fragrant aroma filled the air, auspicious omens abounded. Officials adorned with gold fish and jade pendants surrounded the carriage, while women with jeweled hair and cloud-like tresses lined up. Mandarin duck fans veiled the carriage, and jade beaded curtains reflected phoenix hairpins. The sounds of sheng and sang were beautiful, the music of strings and pipes harmonious.

When the Queen appears,

Behold, the Queen's eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin like mutton fat. Her face was like peach blossoms, her hair piled high with golden phoenix hairpins. Her eyes were like autumn waves, alluring and captivating; her slender figure was like spring bamboo shoots, alluring and seductive. A red silk sash fluttered, its colors vibrant; a high hairpin adorned with pearls and jade gleamed. What talk of Zhaojun's beauty? She truly surpassed even Xi Shi. Her willow waist swayed slightly, like the tinkling of gongs; her lotus steps moved lightly, her jade-like limbs graceful.

Even Chang'e on the moon could not reach this height, nor could any celestial maiden compare. Her palace makeup and exquisite style are beyond compare; she truly seems to have descended from the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother of the West.

At this moment,

Bajie stared at the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, his mouth practically watering, his eyes practically sparkling with desire.

The monkey slapped him across the face in a flash, "Idiot, tone it down! You're Tang's kid, understand?"

Bajie pouted and rubbed the back of his head. "I know, Brother Monkey."

As they entered the city,

The Queen still treated Xuanzang with the same affection she always had for him.

That night,

Before the Queen could speak, Xuanzang confessed his feelings first. The Queen was taken aback at first, but then she was overjoyed.

The next day,

The entire Kingdom of Women was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the Queen of the Kingdom of Women and Xuanzang were happily married.

period,

Pigsy was naturally extremely jealous and also wanted to find a wife in the Women's Kingdom.

Upon seeing this,

Seeing this, the monkey couldn't help but say, "Pigsy, with your appearance, you should save your breath. Don't scare the girl."

"Brother Monkey, you're mistaken. A coarse willow winnowing basket can be used to winnow a fine willow. Who in the world dislikes an ugly man?" Pigsy retorted.

...

After spending a few days in the Kingdom of Women, the monkey and his companions continued their journey. The Queen of the Kingdom of Women did not follow. This journey was to shatter Mount Ling, and it would be inappropriate to bring her along. In any case, with Xuanzang's current cultivation level, returning to the Kingdom of Women would be a matter of moments.

In a flash,

The monkey and Xuanzang have arrived at Mount Ling.

Its summit touches the heavens, its roots connect to Mount Sumeru. Cleverly arranged peaks, strangely shaped rocks rise in jagged formations. Jade-like herbs and rare flowers bloom beneath the cliffs, fragrant purple fungus graces the winding paths. A celestial monkey plucks fruit from a peach grove, as if burning gold; a white crane perches on a pine branch, like smoke cradling jade. Pairs of colorful phoenixes and azure luan birds roam in pairs.

A pair of colorful phoenixes, their cries to the sun auspicious omen for the world; a pair of blue luan birds, their dance in the wind a rare sight in the world. And there I see golden tiles, like mandarin ducks, and gleaming, agate-paved bricks. East row, west row, all are palaces of exquisite beauty; south, north, countless pavilions and towers of precious gems await.

A radiant glow shines above the Hall of Heavenly Kings, while purple flames erupt before the Hall of Dharma Protectors. The pagoda stands tall, the lotus blossoms fragrant—truly, the earth's beauty seems otherworldly, the clouds drift leisurely, and the day feels long. Untouched by worldly dust, all ties are severed; the Great Dharma Hall remains unblemished through countless eons.

Looking out over the summit of Mount Ling, one sees laywomen beneath the pine forests and virtuous men among the verdant cypress groves.

At this time,

Lingshan

In the Great Thunder Temple,

An Arhat reported, "Your Majesty, Sun Wukong and the others have arrived at the foot of Mount Ling!"

As soon as he said that,

It was obvious that the Buddha's expression changed instantly; he had finally arrived!

At this moment, Tathagata appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was in a state of turmoil and panic. He knew all too well the purpose of the monkeys' arrival: after today, there would be no more Buddhism!

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in Buddhism also looked ashen-faced, knowing full well what their fate would be after this day.

However, they had no choice. Ever since the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation was broken that day, Tathagata had taken control of their natal spirits. They had no way out. Whether they were killed by the monkey and others or had their natal spirits scattered by Tathagata, they would die anyway. In the end, it was all the same: death. They might as well fight it out.

"Everyone, this is a time of life and death for Buddhism. Today I may perish, and you may all perish as well, but I believe that the Dharma will never wither. There will always be a spark to continue the Dharma and make Buddhism flourish." The Buddha's voice resounded.

All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats proclaimed the Buddha's name and said, "Excellent!"

That's what they said on the surface, but in their hearts they had already cursed Buddha to the core.

If it weren't for you controlling our souls, who the hell would want to play with you!

At this moment, the Heavenly Court was in an uproar, filled with clamor.

"The real show is about to begin. This time, Buddha will surely be destroyed, and Buddhism will cease to exist!"

"We've been waiting for this day for far too long, it's finally begun!"

"Enough said, just two words: Looking forward to it!"

"..."

at the same time,

The Heavenly Emperor also looked delighted, clearly having waited far too long for this day.

"Taibai, after this battle, there will be no more Buddhism. How do you suggest we celebrate?" the Heavenly Emperor said.

After saying that,

Venus then said, “Your Majesty, although there will be no Buddhism after this, our Heavenly Court will also submit to the Monkey King!”

Upon hearing this,

The Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. The old Buddha is gone, Buddhism is gone, that's enough. The rest doesn't matter!"

Upon hearing this, Venus was relieved, as long as the Heavenly Emperor knew what was going on. In truth, the Heavenly Emperor was quite magnanimous.

However, on the other hand, this is actually a good thing for the Heavenly Court and the Taoist sect. As for other things, we can talk about them later.

at this time,

At the foot of Lingshan Mountain,

The monkey, now dressed in battle armor, was no longer the same as before; its expression was serious, yet its spirit was high.

At that moment, the monkey's loud shout rang out, "Old Buddha, why don't you come out and face your death?!"
