Although I cannot harness the power of the ascetic monks, I also no longer have their restraints.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these ascetic monks did not leave empty-handed; before they departed, they copied scriptures and took a batch of the Buddhist Sect’s magical treasures. Their intentions were to prevent the Buddhist Sect’s extinction and to have the chance to rise again from the east if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that they still did not trust Maitreya to bring the Buddhist Sect to its pinnacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddhist Sect did not succumb to internal discord, which greatly disappointed the Jade Emperor. He had hoped that this time he could inflict serious damage on the Buddhist Sect. Who would have thought such a significant crisis would be so lightly overcome? The deep roots of the Buddhist Sect were apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with affairs at this stage, he was powerless to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, far away in Luzhou in the North, Feng Jiu and Lin Fang had also received this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Jiu looked at the message in her hand and sighed, \"The Buddhist Sect is not to be underestimated. I didn’t expect that they would sort out their internal affairs so quickly. It might look like a desperate last resort, but for a force like the Buddhist Sect, it’s hardly a fatal blow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she finally understood what it meant to be a top power of the Three Realms. Compared to today’s Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court, the Demon Court of old was simply too fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, it’s one of the foremost powers in the Three Realms. Moreover, their unity is bolstered by the Buddhist Law; inherently, they are more united than other forces,\" said Lin Fang with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turn of events had also caught Lin Fang by surprise. He had expected at least some disturbance but hadn’t anticipated that simple scriptural debate would quell it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believers are truly fearsome; to them, sacrifice seems to be a kind of spiritual encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it not a good thing for the Buddhist Sect to be strong? Otherwise, how could they contend with the flourishing Heavenly Court? You must remember, they are a power that has dominated Heaven and Earth and all living beings for countless eons. Although they seem somewhat downcast now, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and no one knows what cards the Supreme holds until the very end,\" Lin Fang continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to the Jade Emperor, Feng Jiu became somewhat silent. He was the one who had taught her the taste of defeat, the enemy she obsessed over defeating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had to admit that the Jade Emperor, whether in terms of stratagems, strength, or mental fortitude, truly was the unrivaled choice for Master of the Three Realms. After all these years of consolidation, no one knew the current state of this profound and calculating Supreme of the Three Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Feng Jiu believed that anyone who dared to underestimate him would undoubtedly pay a heavy price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang looked up. The sky was clear and cloudless, with a gentle breeze blowing and rustling the thick surrounding trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter and commotion of playing children reached them; it was incredibly peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Fang knew this was just the calm before the storm; soon the Three Realms would be in turmoil. Moreover, due to the departure of the Venerated Way of the Three Pure Ones, the upcoming upheaval would be even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What role could he play in this approaching storm, and could he survive in this turbulent era?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t only Lin Fang who felt the approaching storm—deep in the Eastern Sea, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had also convened. As the sovereigns of the sea, bestowed by the Jade Emperor, they held a highly esteemed position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, these lofty Dragon Kings all wore worried frowns, their faces as grim as withered wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brothers, conflict between the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court seems inevitable. What should we do in this situation?\" the Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why ask such a question, big brother? No matter who wins, they will try to rally us to their side. As long as we shut our doors and quietly wait for the storm to pass, the role of the rain-controlling deity will still be ours,\" said the Western Sea Dragon King with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Ao Guang could respond, another of the Dragon Kings chuckled and said, \"The second brother speaks with confidence because your son is now a Bodhisattva of Mount Ling, with the Victorious Fighting Buddha and other powerful supporters like the Altar Cleanser at your side. No matter what happens, the Buddhist Sect wouldn’t blame you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was none other than the Southern Seas Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sarcasm in his voice, the Western Sea Dragon King Ao Run immediately grew angry and said, \"Do not utter nonsense, third brother. As for closeness to the Buddhist Sect, Mount Luojia in the Southern Sea is famous throughout the Three Realms. You even gave your daughter to Guanyin to be the Dragon Maiden of Good Fortune. Now you have the gall to mock me—what is the meaning of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, that is no match for the second brother sitting here issuing cool remarks,\" retorted the Southern Seas Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their confrontational exchange, Ao Guang immediately shouted, \"Enough, both of you, silence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this, the eldest and most venerable of the Dragon Kings spoke solemnly: \"Do you think this is just another small commotion like before, that closing doors and hiding out for a while will suffice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His authoritative gaze swept across them, pressing the other three Dragon Kings to bow their proud heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ao Guang continued, \"The upcoming calamity is unlike any before. In the past, the powerhouses like the Three Pure Ones Tathagata stabilized the situation; no matter the turmoil below, they prevented the situation from spiraling out of control. But now, these formidable beings are about to transcend and depart. Do you still think it will be minor skirmishes as usual?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, a look of fear crossed the faces of the other Dragon Kings. The Northern Sea Dragon King urgently asked, \"Big brother, is this true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t have said it if it wasn’t true. Soon, all the concerned parties in the Three Realms will know,\" Ao Guang sat back in his chair, a picture of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could this be? If they all leave, what chaos will the Three Realms fall into?\" exclaimed the Southern Seas Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all knew that the peace and stability of the Three Realms depended entirely on these powerful beings’ suppression. Without them, how many repressed ambitious characters are about to bare their fangs again? The Dragon Kings were aware: an unprecedented era of chaos is coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news struck them like a bolt from the blue, sending the Dragon Kings, accustomed to a life of peace, into disarray, struggling to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems this calamity will be a major upheaval, threatening all living beings in the Three Realms and upending the order of Heaven and Earth. With our limited strength, how shall we survive in this chaos?\" Ao Run said with a soft sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the concerns of the other Dragon Kings as well; how to protect themselves amidst chaos was indeed a profound question worth pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.782Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea292dbdfa0c357f75bcc48a781bb8b6d57cc4490887f152399652e1bd21011d","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-296","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-294",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
