This was a battle for the Buddhist Sect to establish their might. Once they flattened Zhilei Mountain, the Journey to the West would be unobstructed, and the Buddhist Sect could easily extend their reach into the territories of the Southern Continent and Dongsheng Shenzhou under the Heavenly Court’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, the only plan was to use this opportunity to strengthen himself and then find a place to lay low, waiting for the changes between Heaven and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a woman walked over slowly, and upon seeing Lin Fang, she said with delight, \"Fellow Taoist Lin Fang, so you are here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang turned his head and saw Tieshan Princess walking toward him with a smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It turns out to be Fellow Taoist. What urgent matter do you have for me?\" Lin Fang asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that Tieshan Princess was not her usual self today; she seemed more radiant, unlike the usual resentful woman confined to her boudoir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that Fellow Taoist displayed divine skills, seized a Buddhist Treasure, and broke through the Heavenly Net. I couldn’t help but come to congratulate you,\" Tieshan Princess said with a delicate laugh, her eyes gleaming attractively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Taoist flatters me; it was nothing more than a fortunate coincidence. Besides, although that Buddhist Treasure is powerful, it is not so precious to the Buddhist Sect. I fear that it won’t be long before the Heavenly Net reappears,\" Lin Fang said dismissively, waving his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware of himself. Although he had grown a lot along his journey, to face an entity as immense as the Buddhist Sect would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Tieshan Princess revealed a flash of admiration in her eyes, \"Though that may be the case, it still counts as an invigorating achievement. Fellow Taoist may not know, but many people are now inquiring about your whereabouts. If you were to call out, I estimate quite a few Demon Kings would follow at your heels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Fang just smiled and shook his head. Such things were better left imagined. These Demon Kings were like reeds swaying with the wind, not reliable allies. If he let himself be blinded by such a scene, he might be not far from destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I see you seem to be in good spirits, Fellow Taoist?\" Lin Fang queried Tieshan Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s merely finding joy amidst suffering. I was too obstinate before, not accepting reality. Having come to a sudden realization, I now see that life has much more to anticipate, so why should I confine myself to one place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tieshan Princess said this as she walked a few steps forward to stand on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the scenery of the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breeze lifted her skirts, revealing her impressive figure, like a woodland sprite, eliciting silent praise from Lin Fang, King Niumo was indeed fortunate to have such a woman as his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was a time when I pinned everything on him as if I had lost myself, living only for him. I thought that would last forever, but it turns out that all the sweet nothings were just fleeting clouds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During that time, I was in great pain, feeling that life was hopeless, even harboring a distaste for life; fortunately, with Red Boy there, I dismissed such thoughts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, I kept waiting for his return, hoping he would change his heart and we could go back to our old life, but endless waiting only resulted in betrayal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tieshan Princess reached this point, she couldn’t help but shed tears. Quickly wiping them away, she continued, \"But now I understand. Why should I live for him? Without the child, there are no more ties. Our marital affection has exhausted, and it’s time for me to live for myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang silently looked at Tieshan Princess, unsure how to console this woman. She had aspired for love all her life, thrown caution to the wind for it, and given up her royal title to start from scratch with King Niumo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she suffered betrayal, and even her title as the main woman was usurped by a successor Fox Spirit. She could only remain trapped alone on Emerald Cloud Mountain. Fortunately, she still had her child to hold onto. Yet now, as Red Boy had been taken to the Buddhist Sect and the chance of seeing her son again was gone, she felt utterly disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, she was indeed a heroic woman among women. Having understood the situation, she resolutely cut ties with the past, wishing to live for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m truly sorry,\" Tieshan Princess said with considerable embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not expected to pour out her heart in front of Lin Fang, laying bare the thoughts she had harbored deep within. Perhaps it was due to Lin Fang’s inadvertently tender nature, or maybe the impression left by his figure walking out of the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s no trouble; it’s my honor,\" Lin Fang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a golden light shone brightly from the West, a vast net spreading across the sky again, with auspicious clouds gathering on the horizon and the sound of Zen chanting filling the space between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha Buddha!\" a voice, both imposing and compassionate, echoed from the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All living beings suffer; why not join my Buddhist Sect and ascend to the other shore?\" The grand voice rang across the sky and touched everyone’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang felt his mind overrun with distracting thoughts and immediately realized this speech had the power to affect the soul. He quickly eradicated the clutter in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Tieshan Princess, both saw the shock in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was none other than the Maitreya Buddha, known in the Buddhist Sect as the Future Buddha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the appointed successor to the Buddha’s position, a figure of boundless Buddhist Law, a surprise to everyone that he had personally intervened in the affairs of Zhilei Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maitreya, a Buddha of such stature doesn’t need to resort to these tricks!\" King Niumo bellowed, his words showing little respect for the Buddha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha Buddha, so it is the Bull Clan’s Master!\" the Buddha, with a large belly, laughed from amidst the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All I want is to live peacefully here; why must you press me so relentlessly?\" King Niumo said with a tinge of anger in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maitreya Buddha still wore a smile, \"Master, you’re taking this too seriously. My Buddhist Sect keeps its doors wide open, willing to guide all living beings to the other shore to share in ultimate bliss. Master’s virtue runs deep, you should join the Buddha in sharing that bliss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what if I’m unwilling?\" King Niumo’s voice echoed between heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, why cling to delusion? Better to accompany this monk to Mount Ling. I am willing to recite scriptures and expound the Buddhist Law to you,\" Maitreya Buddha said tactfully, yet his words carried an undeniable firmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want me to go to Mount Ling, come on then, let’s see the might of your Buddhist Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, King Niumo had already soared into the sky. Clad in black armored armor, wielding a black iron rod, his presence was imposing, like a massive mountain which immediately drew everyone’s gaze upon his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","d0561e8a07a8bfd0aa3694b1725b0c283fcecd30bba917b69a88e7ad8e748f68","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-146","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-144",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
