Chapter 825: The Praise of the Saints! The Western Journey Drama Ends!

But after the power of karmic curses appeared, the Jade Emperor realized that any shortcut comes at a cost, making him more cautious toward incense and vow power.

Yu Xu Palace.

"I never expected Luo Fu to win—Buddhism deployed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array and still couldn't suppress him, what useless fools. I knew it—Buddhism taking this shortcut would eventually backfire."

Upon seeing Luo Fu win the wager, Master Yuanshi's eyes flickered with surprise.

After the Two Western Saints deployed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, Master Yuanshi had been certain the Western Saints had already won the wager.

Even for him, breaking the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array would demand a heavy price.

Yet Luo Fu effortlessly dismantled the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array using the power of karmic curses, forcing the Two Western Saints to intervene personally—and ultimately lose the wager.

One must admit, the Two Western Saints succeeded because of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array—and failed because of it.

"The Western Journey Tribulation has changed so much—it seems tribulations aren't unchangeable. The Grand Dao's great tide is irreversible, but minor currents can be altered; how far those minor currents shift depends entirely on individual ability."

"After all, the Grand Dao itself is not static—it must be followed by embracing its changes."

A low murmur rose from Master Yuanshi's lips, and faint threads of Daoic resonance began to flow through Yu Xu Palace.

Because Luo Fu won the Western Journey Tribulation, Master Yuanshi's understanding of the Grand Dao was profoundly stirred.

The sect established by Master Yuanshi was the Chan Sect, dedicated to elucidating the changes of the Grand Dao and acting in accordance with it.

The Tribulation, as a great tide of the Grand Dao, naturally fell within the Chan Sect's elucidation.

Originally, in Master Yuanshi's eyes, the Tribulation was unchangeable.

Luo Fu's actions made Master Yuanshi realize the Tribulation was not unchangeable.

The Western Journey Tribulation had been utterly transformed by Luo Fu.

If Buddhism fails to spread eastward from now on, the entire Western Journey Tribulation will have been completely altered.

The so-called Western Journey was merely a hollow performance.

Such a massive alteration of the Tribulation was a profound shock to Master Yuanshi.

It made him realize for the first time that the Grand Dao was not fixed—it was constantly changing; beyond the great tide, nothing was truly unalterable.

Wo Palace.

"He won! He won! I knew Luo Fu kid could do it—I never thought he could break the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array!"

Upon hearing Luo Fu had won the wager, Pingxin Niangniang rose involuntarily, her beautiful eyes brimming with excitement.

After the Two Western Saints activated the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array, Pingxin Niangniang had begun to worry for Luo Fu—she could sense at least some of the Array's power.

Even against a Saint, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array could hold its own.

Below the level of a Saint, Pingxin Niangniang could not imagine any method capable of breaking the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.

No one expected Luo Fu to dismantle the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array effortlessly through the Way of Karma, forcing the Two Western Saints to intervene personally—and ultimately lose the wager.

This stirred a trace of admiration in Pingxin Niangniang, a Saint herself.
