Never before have they been treated with such disdain, sparking a tide of fierce indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the meaning of this from the Buddhist Sect? Could it be that because the Taoist Master does not emerge, they belittle our Heavenly Court?\" An Immortal was filled with righteous anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, we cannot sit idly by in the face of such disrespect from the Buddhist Sect. Otherwise, how will all living beings in the Three Realms regard the majesty of our Heavenly Court?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the clamoring of the Immortals, the Jade Emperor did not say much but quietly observed their performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware that there were very few who genuinely had the Heavenly Court’s interests at heart; each had their own schemes to play. This was also a downside of his initial reliance on the power of the Three Pure Ones. Although over the years, he had consolidated these forces through various means, the internal landscape was still fragmented, with many showing him outward compliance while secretly defying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems it is time to properly cleanse the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, once a war with the Buddhist Sect begins, we are likely to face fires within our own ranks,\" the Jade Emperor thought calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold sweep of his gaze, his authoritative voice rang out in the Lingxiao Treasured Palace, \"In that case, which of my beloved subjects is willing to make a trip to Mount Ling and call the Buddhist Sect to account?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the previously righteous Immortals suddenly fell silent as their comfortable lives had robbed them of the courage to face a challenge together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such a formidable entity as the Buddhist Sect naturally filled their hearts with apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor took in their reaction, and his heart couldn’t help but sneer; it seemed their ambitions had been worn down. He feared he could not rely on them in the wars to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the Lingxiao Treasured Palace turned heavy, with no one daring to draw a loud breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, an old man with white hair and beard stepped out from the crowd and said, \"Your Majesty, this old servant is willing to go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, the Jade Emperor replied, \"So it is Taibai Jinxing. Very well, go to Mount Ling for me and inquire what exactly the Buddhist Sect intends to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taibai Jinxing accepted the decree and rose into the clouds toward Mount Ling, while the rest of the Immortals dared not utter another word, and the atmosphere once again grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there is nothing else, my dear subjects, you may withdraw,\" the Jade Emperor said, seemingly losing interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Immortals, as if pardoned, quickly bowed and retired from the Lingxiao Treasured Palace in order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor watched their retreating figures with a cold smile, \"Truly a bunch of ingrates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the great hall, the silhouette of the Divine Exorcist Great Sage slowly appeared. Hearing the emperor’s words, he said, \"They were never dependable in the first place. Many of them joined the Heavenly Court back then only because of the Three Pure Ones. Now that the Three Pure Ones have vanished and some are restless, it only fuels their ambition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, whatever they have eaten of mine, they will have to spit it out eventually,\" the Jade Emperor suddenly said darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have those you’ve been watching shown any signs of movement?\" the Jade Emperor suddenly inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve already started to collude in secret. Because of the recent event, they’ve realized an opportunity has arisen and are eager to take action,\" came the response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, let them make their move. I will use their heads to intimidate these ignorant beings,\" said the Jade Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for these people, the Jade Emperor truly did not take them to heart. Their means and resources were far too inferior to his own, and although they thought their actions were hidden, every move they made was within the Jade Emperor’s grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly troubled him now was the Western Ling Mountain. Today’s events, although highly suspicious and most likely not the work of the Buddha Land, had blatantly exposed the rift between the Buddha Land and the Heavenly Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All living beings in the Three Realms had become aware of the impending conflict, igniting the flames of ambition in those who sought power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The throne of the Supreme of the Three Realms—who would not wish to sit upon it? Sun Wukong’s declaration, \"The Jade Emperor takes turns; this year it comes to my house,\" was indicative of the thoughts harbored by these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would love to see a war between themselves and the Buddha Land so they could reap the benefits like fishermen, but unfortunately for them, the Jade Emperor would not conform to their wishes. He would not declare war on the Buddha Land until he had completely eradicated these internal destabilizers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Buddhist Sect, the Jade Emperor was very clear; Maitreya was an ambitious man. He would not rashly initiate a war but instead would completely unify the Buddhist Sect and make thorough preparations before doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the collision of these two forces would be destructive, and neither side was assured of victory. They could only continue to accumulate advantages for their respective sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you make of today’s events? Do you think these people are behind it?\" the Jade Emperor asked solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Exorcist Great Sage naturally knew what he was referring to. Today’s sudden attack by King Niumo had abruptly exposed both sides, with timing so adroit it was hard not to believe someone was directing it from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They lack the capability. If they truly could do such a thing, they wouldn’t have been so easily controlled by us,\" the Divine Exorcist Great Sage shook his head, overturning the Jade Emperor’s speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Emperor thought about it and agreed that those people did not seem capable of orchestrating such a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to them, I am more inclined to believe it was the doing of the Buddhist Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Buddhist Sect, unlikely. Although Maitreya is aggressive, he wouldn’t be so irrational. He has just ascended to the Buddha’s throne, a time for consolidating internal affairs. How could he easily spark a conflict when it would be detrimental to him?\" the Jade Emperor shook his head and said, understanding Maitreya’s mind all too well; this was definitely not his doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not talking about this Future Buddha Ancestor, but rather those radical Buddhists under him. It is very possible that they acted behind Maitreya’s back. There is none in the Three Realms more eager for us to go to war than they are,\" the Divine Exorcist Great Sage said darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea that was put forth made the Jade Emperor think. Indeed, it was possible that these individuals were behind it, for after all, King Niumo had been enlightened, and only the methods of the Buddhist Sect could have driven him to such madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They certainly have some nerve!\" the Jade Emperor said with a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did they know that if the conflict were to start, they would be the first to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some people always aim too high, yet their lives are as fragile as paper. Most ridiculous of all, they remain ignorant of their own situation, always believing themselves to be the tide shapers of the era, not realizing that they would be the first to drown under the waves of the times,\" the Divine Exorcist Great Sage said with a hint of a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two suddenly fell silent, and the vast Lingxiao Treasured Palace became exceptionally quiet. The silence was so profound that one could hear a pin drop. After a long while, the Jade Emperor sighed lightly, \"Trouble is brewing, like the gathering storm over a lofty building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone, lingering in the great hall, carried with it an air of the indefinable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiniu Continent, Mount Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sacred land of the Buddhist Sect, it was enveloped in dense Buddha’s Light throughout all seasons. The moment one set foot in this Buddha Land, it was as if soft chants of Zen could be heard by one’s ear, cleansing the soul and involuntarily inspiring homage to the Buddhist Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was one of the Buddhist Sect’s tricks, aimed to make the believers entering Mount Ling feel inner satisfaction and deepen their devotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless monks traversed this holy land, with Arhats and Bodhisattvas occasionally strolling by. At such times, these devout believers would kneel on the ground, prostrating themselves and offering the highest respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A believer looked up at the sky only to see a white cloud slowly drifting towards Mount Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening today? Earlier there were so many Immortals, and now there’s another one coming,\" the believer said with great curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could naturally discern whether the person on the cloud was from the Buddhist Sect. The white cloud drifted ethereally, carrying with it a sense of freedom, which was quite different from the clouds of the Buddhist Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this does not necessarily bode well,\" said an older believer, sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could there be some sort of hidden story?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know, but today something significant happened in the Buddhist Sect. The Great Strength Bull Demon King, the protector that legends spoke of, is dead!\" the elder said in a hushed voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dead!\" the younger believer exclaimed loudly, causing the elder to hastily cover his mouth, motioning him to keep his voice down.\u003C\u002Fp>",1619,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.782Z",1,"novelbin.me","f7a3d38aadc2252cc29079384d35825e0081a0617686f111c04efad9944b1731","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-51","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-299",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
