In the eyes of many Buddhas, there was jealousy, resentment, and admiration.

As the Buddha Kong Xuan expressed his thoughts, Sun Wukong agreed to it, and it was a foregone conclusion that Kong Xuan would pass the position of Buddha to Sun Wukong.

At this moment, even in the temple outside the main hall, there were many Buddhas and monks.

After Sun Wukong agreed to this matter, Kong Xuan took advantage of this opportunity to hold a succession ceremony, preparing to officially pass the position of Buddha to Sun Wukong.

On the lotus pedestal, Kong Xuan sat with his eyes closed. The Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the five-colored divine light filled the main hall, majestic and peaceful.

On both sides of him, the two Buddhas, Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao, protect him.

Below the three Buddhas are the many high-ranking figures of Mahayana Buddhism, including the Four Great Bodhisattvas, the Eight Great Arhats, and the Seven Hundred Arhats, headed by Maitreya and Ksitigarbha.

Outside the main hall, there are a large number of Mahayana Buddhist disciples sitting.

The entire Leiyin Temple is already filled with high-ranking Mahayana Buddhists, and they are here today to witness the inheritance of the Buddha's throne.

Everything is ready, Kong Xuan, who is sitting at the head seat, slowly opens his eyes.

"I declare that the position of Buddha will be passed to Sun Wukong!" Kong Xuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, many high-ranking Mahayana Buddhists stood up and saluted, and the ceremony of succession officially began.

The great battle between Sun Wukong and Kong Xuan was witnessed by all the high-ranking officials of Mahayana Buddhism, so they were naturally aware of Sun Wukong's strength.

Of course, even if Sun Wukong’s strength is outstanding enough, they are still somewhat curious whether Sun Wukong can be qualified for the position of Buddha.

However, the position of Buddha to Sun Wukong was passed down by Kong Xuan himself, and they believed that Kong Xuan must have his reasons for doing so.

The Western religious disciples, led by Maitreya, were filled with indignation and expressed their dissatisfaction with the succession.

In their eyes, the position of the Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism has long been in their pockets and will fall into their hands sooner or later. How could they easily hand it over to others?

But when Kong Xuan looked over, the momentum of Maitreya and others suddenly weakened.

And when Sun Wukong's aura exploded, Maitreya and others did not dare to complain at all and chose to shut up.

They have all witnessed the strength of Sun Wukong and Kong Xuan. They are definitely not their opponents. Under the current circumstances, how could they dare to complain at all?

"Thank you for your trust, Buddha!" ​​Sun Wukong said calmly.

He did not have much interest in the position of Buddha.

The reason why he agreed to this was because Kong Xuan promised that after he agreed to this, he would tell him the truth.

Since this matter was related, naturally, no one else could stop him. If Maitreya and others continued to speak, he would not mind teaching them a lesson! He was more curious about the inside story of the Journey to the West and who was the mysterious person who secretly helped him? However, the next moment, he felt the changes in himself.

One after another, mysterious auras gathered towards him. He could easily mobilize this aura and it could even enhance his strength.

He had a good understanding to begin with, so he naturally understood that this was the destiny of Mahayana Buddhism.

After succeeding the Buddha's position, the fortune of Mahayana Buddhism, which was originally controlled by Kong Xuan, began to be gradually controlled by him.

With the blessing of Mahayana Buddhism, his strength has also improved significantly.

If he were to fight Kong Xuan again under such circumstances, he was confident that he could defeat Kong Xuan.

Even if he faced Patriarch Bodhi again, he believed that he had the strength to fight.

After seeing the fortune of Mahayana Buddhism condensed on Sun Wukong, Maitreya and others were filled with jealousy.

They have coveted the position of Buddha for a long time, and so has the fortune of Mahayana Buddhism.

But it happened that Kong Xuan and Sun Wukong were much stronger than them, and they had no chance of seizing it at all. They could only watch.

Just as Sun Wukong was feeling the changes in himself, the voice of a disciple broke the silence in the main hall.

“Buddha, the Tang army has crossed Lingyun Ferry and completely surrounded the Great Leiyin Temple.

The Great Tang Emperor has already entered the Great Leiyin Temple, and we are unable to stop him. What should we do?" the disciple said.

After hearing the words of this disciple, the eyes of many Buddhas were immediately focused on Kong Xuan.

On the other hand, Maitreya and others looked nervous. They all knew what the purpose of the Great Tang Emperor was. The purpose of the Great Tang Emperor was to sweep across the Western land and completely unify the prehistoric land.

In their opinion, given the relationship between Kong Xuan and Yang An, Kong Xuan would certainly not stop the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"No need to stop me. I have passed the position of Buddha to Sun Wukong, and the affairs of Mahayana Buddhism are also left to Sun Wukong!" Kong Xuan said.

While speaking, his eyes were already on Sun Wukong.

The disciples of Mahayana Buddhism also understood Kong Xuan’s meaning. In the future, all Mahayana Buddhist affairs would be decided by Sun Wukong.

Of course, many Mahayana Buddhist disciples were also very curious about the Human Emperor who broke into Mahayana Buddhism alone.

After a while, many Mahayana Buddhist disciples took the initiative to make way for them, and Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, arrived at the main hall.

"May I ask the Human Emperor, what is the purpose of coming to the Great Leiyin Temple?" Sun Wukong asked.

While speaking, he was also looking at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The name of the Human Emperor is well-known, and he is well aware of the Human Emperor's status among the human race.

Moreover, even saints cannot attack the Human Emperor who is able to gather the destiny of the human race.

"You are the Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism. I came here to unify the vast land. The western land has been completely swept away by the Tang army, and only the Great Leiyin Temple remains.

Buddhism is about to spread to the East, and I want to make Mahayana Buddhism accepted by the human race and become the state religion of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said.

His real purpose is to allow Mahayana Buddhism to join the human race, which is also the arrangement of his master Yang An.

The Journey to the West has ended successfully, the spread of Buddhism to the East is about to begin, and the rise of Western religions will also occur.

If it is not controlled, Western religion will inevitably rise and even surpass the human race, which he absolutely cannot accept.

With the help of Master Yang An, the human race has gone through countless disasters and has achieved its current strength and status.

Now, under the arrangement of the master, the human race is about to unify the prehistoric land, and he cannot let the Western religions step on the human race.

And allowing Mahayana Buddhism to join the human race is the best way to solve this hidden danger.

As long as Mahayana Buddhism joins the human race, no matter how prosperous Mahayana Buddhism is, it can always be controlled by the human race, and naturally there is no need to worry about the rise of Western religions.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the Western sect disciples led by Maitreya were stunned.

They originally thought that Emperor Li Shimin came here just to promote the unification of the ancient land.

But they didn't expect that the real purpose of the Human Emperor was to allow Mahayana Buddhism to join the human race.

What does this mean? They naturally understand, and they cannot accept it.

At the same time, in the secret realm of Lingshan, the Taoists Zhunti and Jie Yin were extremely angry.

“I was wondering why the journey to the West was so smooth? Yang An was actually planning this!” said Zhunti Taoist coldly.

Kong Xuan established Mahayana Buddhism, the incident of havoc in Heaven, and Sun Wukong's attainment of quasi-sainthood, every event was planned by Yang An behind the scenes.

But even though Yang An did all these things, the Journey to the West was still going on, and was even going much more smoothly than before.

All along, he couldn't figure out Yang An's true thoughts, nor did he know what Yang An was planning.

At this point, he finally understood that Yang An's real purpose was to allow Mahayana Buddhism to join the human race. How could they accept this? In their original plan, whether it was Kong Xuan or Sun Wukong, the position of the Buddha, would not have much impact.

As long as their plan succeeds and they replace the Buddha, Mahayana Buddhism will still be controlled by them.

Even if the rise of Western religion is led by Mahayana Buddhism, Western religion will still flourish after taking control of Mahayana Buddhism.

By that time, Western religion will not only be able to gain a steady stream of faith among the human race, but will also be able to become the greatest force in the world.

But if they allow Mahayana Buddhism to join the human race, then their previous plans will be meaningless.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Once Mahayana Buddhism joins the human race, it will be controlled by the human race. Even if Mahayana Buddhism can flourish as a result, it will always be controlled by the human race.

Even if they take over the position of the Buddha of Mahayana Buddhism by some means, they will still be controlled by the human race. Naturally, they are unwilling to accept such a situation.

He had thought about what Yang An's real plan was, but he didn't expect that Yang An's plan was to conquer Mahayana Buddhism.

"It seems that we need to act in advance!" said the Taoist Jie Yin.

According to their original arrangement, the plan for Mahayana Buddhism was to be carried out after the human race unified the prehistoric land.

Only in this way can Western religion gain the greatest benefit and prosper far more than expected.

But now, the situation of Mahayana Buddhism does not allow them to think too much.

Given the relationship between Kong Xuan, Sun Wukong and Yang An, Sun Wukong will most likely agree to this matter.

Once Mahayana Buddhism joins the human race, all their previous plans will be in vain.

After countless years, they finally waited for the opportunity for the rise of Western religion. Naturally, they cannot let it go so easily. If they do not stop it, there may never be such an opportunity in the future.

He has made up his mind that for the future of Western religion, he must prevent Mahayana Buddhism from joining the human race.

In the Bajing Palace, Saint Taiqing admired Yang An more and more.

He was a little confused at first. What exactly did Yang An plan? He didn't expect that Yang An was actually planning to attack Mahayana Buddhism. If Mahayana Buddhism successfully joined the human race, it would be a fatal blow to Western religion.

From now on, Western religion will never have the chance to flourish again.

Of course, he also knew that with the personalities of the Taoists Zhunti and Jieyin, this matter would never succeed easily, and they would definitely try to stop it.

However, based on his understanding of Yang An, this human leader was always fully prepared.

I believe Yang An has already made preparations for this plan.

Instead, he was somewhat curious about what Yang An was preparing for. In the Nuwa Palace, Nuwa was smiling happily.

She was originally immersed in the joy of Sun Wukong taking over the position of Buddha.

Given her relationship with Sun Wukong, she was naturally very happy that Sun Wukong took over as the leader of Mahayana Buddhism.

But before her joy could subside, Yang An gave her an even bigger surprise.

If Mahayana Buddhism joins the human race, the hope of the rise of Western religions will be completely cut off.

She had always disliked the Western Taoists Zhunti and Jie Yin, so naturally she would like to see the Western religion being prevented from flourishing in this way.

In the Biyou Palace, Master Tongtian laughed loudly and unscrupulously.

"Young friend Yang An is truly extraordinary. Every move he makes is unexpected!" Patriarch Tongtian said to himself.

He now had only one idea, that forming an alliance with Yang An and planning the journey to the West was the best thing he could do.

Every plan of Yang An was unpredictable and directly attacked the vital points of Western religion.

He could already imagine how furious the Taoists Zhunti and Jie Yin would be after hearing the request of Emperor Li Shimin.

In the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned after hearing the words of Emperor Li Shimin.

Even though he and Yang An had a great grudge, he had to admire Yang An's plan.

However, he also understood that he must not allow Yang An's plan to succeed.

He had already made up his mind that if the Western Church personally invited him, he would definitely help.

Of course, the specifics also depend on the ideas of Zhunti Taoist and Jieyin Taoist.

While thinking, his gaze was once again cast towards the Great Leiyin Temple.

Inside the main hall, Sun Wukong still couldn't make up his mind and subconsciously looked at Kong Xuan.

Seeing Sun Wukong's actions, Maitreya and others looked at each other and had already come up with a temporary solution.

"Buddha, our Mahayana Buddhism is transcendental to the world, why should we join the human race? We must never agree to this!" Maitreya and others said.

Obviously, Sun Wukong doesn't know the truth of everything yet.

They could only persuade Sun Wukong to give up the idea of ​​joining the human race.

Even if we really can't stop it, we can delay it for a certain period of time.

However, just as Maitreya and others wanted to continue to comfort them, a terrifying pressure came towards them.

Maitreya and others fell off the lotus platform and were crushed, unable to speak. The source of this pressure was Kong Xuan.

“Sun Wukong, this matter is of great importance after all, it is normal for you to be undecided.

You have always wanted to know the truth about Journey to the West. Today I will tell you the truth. After knowing the truth, I believe you will make a true choice.

Journey to the West is a great catastrophe of heaven and earth. You are the one transformed from the divine stone that repaired the sky, and you are destined to be the one to bear the calamity.

Everything you encounter is arranged by Western religion. Even the Bodhi Patriarch who guides you into the path of practice is the three corpses of the saint Zhunti Taoist.

And the person who really helps you behind the scenes is..." Kong Xuan told everything.

He told Sun Wukong everything about his journey to the West, how he was born, all the plots of the Western Church and Heaven, and who was the person who helped Sun Wukong behind the scenes?

He believed that after knowing all this, Sun Wukong would make the most appropriate choice. (End of this chapter)
