"Master, how did Sun Wukong become a quasi-saint?" Maitreya asked.

After enlightening Jin Chanzi, he immediately returned to Lingshan Secret Realm to report the matter.

But just after returning to Lingshan, he witnessed with his own eyes Sun Wukong breaking away from the Five Finger Mountain and becoming a quasi-saint.

Although he didn't want to believe it, the facts were now before him.

That is quasi-saint, the highest realm below saint, and no one in the entire Western religion can reach it.

Apart from Western religions, even in other saintly sects, there are only a few people who can attain quasi-sainthood.

Sun Wukong had only been practicing for less than a thousand years, but today he had already attained the status of a quasi-saint. This was truly beyond expectation.

"Of course someone came to help. As for who that person was? We already have an idea." Taoist Zhunti said calmly.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, a huge wave of emotions was brewing in his heart.

When they were in Heaven, Sun Wukong, who unexpectedly broke through to the level of Golden Immortal, caused them to suffer a lot of losses, and they even lost the initiative in the Journey to the West.

However, with their background, there are naturally many ways to deal with a small Daluo Jinxian.

During these five hundred years, they had already thought of a way to control Sun Wukong during his journey to the West.

But now, Sun Wukong has actually been able to become a quasi-sage, which has once again disrupted their plans. If they want to truly control Sun Wukong, they can only make new plans.

During this period, they also vaguely guessed who was secretly helping Sun Wukong, but they were not sure.

The person who was able to allow Sun Wukong to break through to the Golden Immortal level right under their noses and made them unaware must be a powerful person at least at the saint level.

Long before, they had suspected Brother Taiqing, the most mysterious of the six saints.

Logically, only Senior Brother Taiqing could help Sun Wukong without telling them.

But with the investigation during this period, and the fact that the catastrophe was set by Master Hongjun himself, he and Senior Brother Jie Yin have confirmed that this was not done by Senior Brother Taiqing.

Kong Xuan's performance when he caused chaos in Heaven had already made them certain that this matter must have a lot to do with Yang An.

But it would be impossible for Yang An to hide it from them on his own, not to mention that Yang An was in the Fire Cloud Cave and couldn't leave.

Therefore, he and Senior Brother Jie Yin have concluded that this matter is also related to Master Tongtian and Junior Sister Nuwa.

Only if these three people work together can they hide it from them and help Sun Wukong secretly.

"We'll discuss this matter later. Now that Sun Wukong has attained the status of a quasi-saint, we need to adjust our plans!" said the Taoist Jie Yin.

He was also very surprised that Sun Wukong was able to attain the status of a quasi-saint.

You know, even those at the level of Daluo Jinxian are not numerous among the saints' disciples. It was indeed too unexpected that Sun Wukong could break through.

However, the current situation is not the time for Sun Wukong to break through or guess who is behind the scenes.

According to their original plan, after Maitreya enlightens Jin Chanzi, the next step of their Western religion can be launched.

They have already refined the magic weapon to control Sun Wukong. The combination of Jin Chanzi and others is enough to control Sun Wukong.

Once Sun Wukong is controlled, the direction of the Journey to the West will still be controlled by Western religions.

But now Sun Wukong is no longer a Daluo Jinxian, but a powerful man in the quasi-sage realm.

Even if Jin Chanzi joined forces with Maitreya and other disciples, they would never be able to defeat Sun Wukong, let alone control him.

They had originally planned to control Sun Wukong in the near future, but now it seems that they may have to adjust their plans.

However, no matter what, Sun Wukong must be controlled. Otherwise, the catastrophe of Journey to the West will be completely out of control.

"Brother Jie Yin is right, but Sun Wukong has already broken through to the level of Quasi-Saint. Who should we send to take action?" said the Taoist Zhunti.

Just as Brother Jie Yin said, now is not the time to guess who is behind the scenes? The most important thing now is to control Sun Wukong and control the direction of the journey to the west, and he can only put the blame on Yang An and others.

But in today's situation, even if they don't want to believe it, Sun Wukong has already achieved the status of a quasi-saint, and is by no means comparable to an ordinary Daluo Jinxian.

Even in the Western religion, no one can rival Sun Wukong, who is at the Golden Immortal level, not to mention that Sun Wukong has already attained the status of a quasi-saint.

In his opinion, the best way to deal with the quasi-saint level Sun Wukong is for him and his senior brother Jie Yin to do it themselves.

"It doesn't matter if Sun Wukong breaks through to become a quasi-saint. What we need to do is to guard against Yang An and others. We need the help of the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court for this!" said the Taoist Jie Yin.

According to their original plan, they did not intend to let the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect contribute too much.

Although the three forces are allies, if they let the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect take action, they will naturally have to give up more interests.

But in the current situation, Sun Wukong has already attained the status of a quasi-saint, and it is very likely that there are other saints helping him behind the scenes.

After all, the foundation of Western religion is a little worse. Their three saints can indeed control Sun Wukong, but Yang An and others are very likely to take action.

Asking the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect to take action was only to restrain Yang An, Tongtian Jiaozhu and others.

As long as the timing is right and they work together from both inside and outside, Sun Wukong will not be able to escape from their clutches.

Of course, if other accidents really occur, although there are rules set by Master Daozu Hongjun, they will choose to take action themselves even at the risk of being punished by Master Hongjun.

No matter what, they will not let anyone stop the rise of Western religions.

"Now that things have come to this, this is all we can do!" sighed Zhunti Taoist.

Although he was extremely reluctant, there were indeed other powerful people standing behind Sun Wukong. In this situation, he could only seek help from the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect.

As long as we can control Sun Wukong, it will be worth it even if it costs some price.

However, he believed that the future of Western religion would definitely not be like this. When Western religion flourished, strong people at the quasi-saint level would inevitably appear among the disciples.

The strength of him and his senior brother Jie Yin will also be enhanced due to the rise of Western religion.

By that time, he and his senior brother Jie Yin will not be inferior to other saints.

While speaking, he had already sacrificed a magic weapon, and the magic weapon fell into Maitreya's palm.

Maitreya looked carefully and found that the magic weapon on his palm was a golden hoop.

"Maitreya, this treasure is enough to control Sun Wukong. You should quickly make arrangements on the road that must be taken to the west. Your master and I will go to the Heaven and the Chan school right away!" said the Taoist Zhunti.

This golden hoop was made by him and his senior brother Jie Yin, and it is strong enough to control Sun Wukong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist Zhunti and the Taoist Jie Yin disappeared.

Seeing the Taoist Masters Zhunti and Jieyin disappear, Maitreya looked at the golden hoop with an excited expression.

A small golden hoop can control a quasi-saint like Sun Wukong. Presumably, there must be some means used by the two saintly masters in this golden hoop.

Afterwards, Maitreya left the Lingshan Secret Realm as soon as possible and headed towards the necessary route for the Journey to the West.

During Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong's journey to the West, the team, which originally consisted of only one man and one demon, now had two more people and a horse.

Although Sun Wukong was exploring the way ahead, his attention was always focused on the two extra people and one horse.

The two extra people also had horrifying looks. One of them had a curled nose and a drooping mouth, and his ears were like palm-leaf fans.

The fangs in his mouth were sharp, and his long beak was like a steel file. His green silk with python patterns and armor were tied around his waist, and he held a nine-foot rake in his hand.

He looks like a wild boar and is called Zhu Bajie, with the Buddhist name Wuneng.

He was the disciple accepted by Tang Sanzang when they passed by Gao Laozhuang. According to Zhu Bajie, Zhu Bajie made a mistake in the Heavenly Palace and was demoted to the human world.

Like Tang Sanzang, he received guidance from Maitreya Bodhisattva and went to the Western Paradise with them to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The other person looked equally terrifying, with blue and black skin and a dark complexion.

He was neither tall nor short, with a pair of big bare feet and obvious bones. Even with clothes covering it, his masculinity could not be concealed.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

This person's eyes flickered like a bright light in the room, there were spikes in his mouth, and his red hair grew fluffy on top of his head.

He looks like a yaksha in the water, but more like a butcher's sharp blade. His name is Sha Wujing. Like Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie, he is also guided by Maitreya Bodhisattva of the Western Religion.

At this moment, a cluster of pine trees appeared in the distance, with a few luxurious houses inside. Green cypresses hung at the door, and the courtyard almost covered half of the green hill.

It was already evening, and Tang Sanzang knew that this was one of the disasters that had been planned long ago, but he did not want to miss it.

"Everyone, we have arrived at the Western Land. It is getting late today. How about we stay here for a night?" Tang Sanzang said.

He is not the leader of the group now.

Sun Wukong, who has attained the status of a quasi-saint, has already gained the final say among the group.

On the surface, he was asking the three people, but in fact he was asking for Sun Wukong's opinion.

"No problem!" Sun Wukong responded.

According to the records in "Journey to the West", he also knew that the place before him was one of the disasters.

Surviving a disaster means good fortune, and he doesn't want to miss it, so there is naturally no reason for him to refuse.

When they heard Sun Wukong speak, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other, and the two of them nodded with their own thoughts.

On the surface, the group seems to be in harmony, but behind the scenes, there are many schemes going on.

Sun Wukong had been paying attention to Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing along the way. He saw their little movements but didn't pay too much attention to them.

With his current strength, he naturally doesn't care about the little tricks of these two people.

Moreover, knowing the future, he is even more clear about the identities of the two.

Although Zhu Bajie was banished to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor, he received guidance from Maitreya.

But he knew clearly that Zhu Bajie was a person specially arranged by the Jade Emperor Haotian to join the Journey to the West team.

The Journey to the West was planned long ago, and Zhu Bajie was the spokesperson for the Jade Emperor and Heaven.

When passing by Gao Laozhuang, he intended to kill Zhu Bajie directly, but Zhu Bajie lowered his head early and did not give him any chance at all.

Moreover, Zhu Bajie's cultivation has reached the level of Golden Immortal. If he had not received the skills taught by the mysterious powerful person, he would probably have been kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Sha Wujing's situation is similar, but he also knows that this person is a member of the Chan Sect, and is the spokesperson for Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chan Sect.

He already knew the identities of the two people, but he didn't care. The strength of these two people was far below his, and he didn't think that these two people could cause any waves.

While thinking, he had already entered the mansion with Tang Sanzang, followed closely by Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

At the same time, at the border of the western land, a million-scale Tang army was stationed there, and several imperial flags with Tang characters on them were waving among the army.

The eyes of the Tang Dynasty soldiers were all focused on the border cities.

In front of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, Li Shimin was wearing golden armor, holding the Sword of the Emperor, and their morale was high.

In the current situation, he only needs to give an order and millions of Tang troops will follow him to invade the western land.

"Your Majesty, with a million troops stationed here, they are very likely to be discovered. When should we set off?" a general asked expectantly.

Upon hearing the question from the Tang army general, the other generals immediately turned their eyes to Emperor Li Shimin, their eyes also full of expectations.

They were filled with lofty ambitions, as invading the Western lands was something they had never dared to think of before.

But now, under the leadership of this Human Emperor, all this has become possible.

This is an achievement that they cannot even imagine. If the Human Emperor can succeed, then the entire prehistoric land will be unified by the human race.

As generals in the army and part of the execution of this great undertaking, they naturally share the glory together.

Their names will also be recorded in history books and praised among the human race along with the Human Emperor.

But now, with a million troops on the border, their momentum is too great and they are very likely to be discovered by the countries in the West.

The small countries in the West are nothing. What is important is the Western religious powers behind these small countries.

In their view, the attack on the West should be swift and rapid. If it is delayed too long, it will be discovered by the strong men of the Western religion.

"It doesn't matter. The Western countries are vulnerable. When the time is right, I will march with you.

"I will not only save the human race on the western land, but also completely unify the wild land! Let the human race no longer be confined to the land of Kyushu!" Li Shimin said proudly.

The reason why he kept his troops inactive was because he was keeping an eye on the movements of the group on their journey to the West.

According to the plan he and his master Yang An had planned, after the group of people on the Journey to the West passed through the small countries in the west, the Tang army would immediately take action and swallow up the small countries that the group of people had passed through.

After that, the Tang army only needed to follow the footsteps of the Journey to the West team to gradually erode the western land.

The small countries in the Western world were able to establish their own kingdoms because of the support of Western religions.

Compared with the million-strong Tang army, such a small country is just like an ant.

As for whether the million Tang troops would be discovered by the strong men of the Western religion, he was not worried at all.

Long before, Master Yang An had already taken action to conceal the secret for them.

Not to mention the strong men of the Western Religion, even the two saints of the Western Religion, Zhunti Taoist and Jie Yin Taoist, could not discover the movements of their Tang Dynasty army.

Now, he only needs to wait for the Journey to the West to continue moving forward, and he can lead the Tang army to sweep across the western land. (End of this chapter)
