Chapter 372 - 149 Mount Ling
Lu Yu looked at Bajie, who was fearless, and knew that he was moved and wanted to get involved here.
"It's rare to see you this enthusiastic, you blockhead," Monkey also teased.
"Scholar, don't worry, if you can't make a move, I'll help you take revenge. The blockhead is right, let him try to stop me on the journey West," Monkey continued.
The three of them came together, carefully discussing how to deal with the Patriarch of the Nether River, occasionally bursting into laughter.
"Now that I have taken out the Fire Brick, the power of Flame Mountain will be greatly reduced. If we can get the Plantain Fan, we could pass through," Lu Yu said with a smile.
"It looks like I need to connect better with my sworn brother now," Monkey said, his eyes flashing with a tinge of battle intent.
"Lu Yu, don't you worry, we will definitely make sure the Patriarch of the Nether River won't get away with it this time," Bajie also said with a chuckle.
Far above the Sea of Blood, the Patriarch of the Nether River felt a chill coming upon him. Sitting calmly above the Sea of Blood, he couldn't help but frown and muttered in a low voice, "Is someone scheming against me?"
However, at this time, the Three Realms were in chaos with 'Heaven's Secret,' and most divination methods had failed, barely perceiving any information.
On Putuo Island in the South Sea, Red Child looked anxiously in the direction of Green Screen Mountain.
"Red Child, don't worry. Didn't Bodhisattva say? As long as your parents are willing to join Buddhism, Buddhism will definitely support strongly this time. Although the Patriarch of the Nether River is powerful, he is not enough compared to the high masters of Buddhism. Your parents will surely return safely," the Dragon Princess consoled beside him.
Maitreya, with a beaming smile on his face, showed a hint of murderous intent. He would use this action to firmly establish his authority on Mount Ling and lay the foundation for his future succession as Buddha Ancestor.
Rulai, seated on the lotus platform, saw everything with piercing clarity, capturing the expressions of the people below. He sighed softly to himself, knowing Maitreya was eager to take over and was recklessly expanding his power and gathering followers. This had led to a mixture of good and bad on today's Mount Ling, pervaded by a restless aura.
Yet, Rulai was not about to stop it. Although he had transformed the Western Sect into Buddhism, it was still rife with factions internally and had yet to achieve complete unity. However, none of this was important to him at the moment. He had long since focused his thoughts on Jixia Academy. Even if all the monks in the world perished, as long as there were people who harbored Buddha in their hearts, the teachings of Buddhism could be naturally rediscovered.

He often said that Buddha exists in all sentient beings, and this is the truth. Unfortunately, today's Buddhas were only chasing after powerful strengths, completely abandoning the true essence of Buddhism. Little did they know, these ideas were the most crucial foundations for reaching the pinnacle of cultivation.
For this reason, Rulai had repeatedly ascended the platform to preach and elucidate the profound meanings of the scriptures. However, seeing today's events, he realized that not many were truly taking his words to heart.
"Since Maitreya Buddha has put it this way, you will lead this demon-subduing mission," Rulai said indifferently, and everyone knew this was his way of promoting Maitreya. Regardless of any dissenting opinions, they all bowed their heads and agreed.
Rulai continued to keep his eyes lowered. For him, these worldly affairs were not worth his concern, as his transcendence was imminent. Realizing his own nature and validating his enlightenment were more important. That's also why the other saints were in seclusion, meditating, while only he and Elder Lord, who had already spread their teachings far and wide, dealt with these mundane matters. After all, the enemies they faced were no ordinary beings.
Remembering the demonstrations by the saints for his own benefit, Rulai knew there was a great challenge ahead, but for him, it was an excellent opportunity to validate the Great Dao he had realized. With this thought, Rulai closed his eyes tightly and began his meditation.
Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and all Arhats slowly exited the Great Hall. As they left, Maitreya, with a smile plastered across his face, blocked Bodhisattva Guanyin's path.
"Bodhisattva Guanyin, please wait a moment!" he said with a smile.
Guanyin turned around and asked, "What matter brings the east-coming Buddha Ancestor to me?"
