Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 1586 - 1584: Formal Alliance

Capítulo 1586: Chapter 1584: Formal Alliance

In truth, what Jiang Liu said does have some reasoning!

Wutian Buddha held the teacup in his hand, but his movements froze, pondering silently in his heart!

The Journey to the West for Scriptures is destined by Heavenly Dao, eighty-one tribulations, not a single one less!

The Scripture Seeking has ended! And the scriptures will spread across the world, this too is destined; otherwise, wouldn’t the Scripture Seeking be a joke?

Through the lecture given by Jieyin, the True Scriptures of Tripitaka indeed have spread worldwide! This matter can be considered settled!

And finally? After the Journey to the West for Scriptures, the Buddhist Sect flourished!

Similarly, the current Buddhist Sect is indeed flourishing, which is also the destined success of Heavenly Dao!

However, why hasn’t the Immeasurable Kalpa ended yet?

Additionally, more importantly, why has the merit from the Journey to the West for Scriptures not descended?

According to the rules, this Journey to the West for Scriptures, complying with divine will, should have had heavenly merit descend, right?

It’s not just Jiang Liu and those members of the Journey to the West Pilgrimage Team; even those who brought tribulations upon Jiang Liu and others along the way should receive corresponding merit!

But why? Not only has the Immeasurable Kalpa not ended, even the merit hasn’t been settled?

Reflecting carefully, this matter indeed seems somewhat amiss!

“Jiang Liu, what are your thoughts?” Realizing that something is indeed somewhat amiss, Wutian Buddha immediately stared at Jiang Liu and asked!

Since he raised this question, surely he must have some thoughts on this matter, right?

Perhaps he has even come to understand it clearly?

“I do have an idea, but I’m not certain if it’s appropriate or not!” Responding to Wutian Buddha’s inquiry, Jiang Liu spoke!

Deciding not to keep it a secret, he directly shared his conjecture: “Any cultivator is aware of divine destiny, knowing fortune and misfortune, and Saints are naturally even more so!”

“During the Immeasurable Kalpa, heavenly secrets are obscure, even Saints find it hard to compute what they want to know, let alone regular Immortals and Buddhas!”

“So, this Immeasurable Kalpa hasn’t ended, in my view, Heavenly Dao still doesn’t want the world to fathom the heavenly secrets! Not even Saints!”

“Heavenly Dao doesn’t want others to fathom the heavenly secrets!?” Hearing these words, Wutian Buddha’s expression changed involuntarily, revealing an astonished look!

The existence of Heavenly Dao is like the law!

Logically, the clear stipulations in law should be known by as many people as possible, right?

Hence, not just Immortals and Buddhas, even ordinary cultivators can, through appropriate cultivation, decipher and calculate, and they can fathom heavenly secrets!

This is Heavenly Dao being transparent with its will, making people unable to defy it!

But, just like legal provisions, under what circumstances would they be hidden, not wanting others to see them?

Reflecting a bit, Wutian Buddha had an idea!

That’s wanting certain individuals, or rather certain people, to intentionally commit wrongdoing, then record these crimes, and finally, when revealing the penal code, catch them all in one sweep!

Only under such circumstances would Heavenly Dao still not want others to fathom heavenly secrets!

Just like in past times, during each Immeasurable Kalpa, heavenly secrets were obscure!

The purpose is to make these calculative people groping blindly, difficult to know their own fortune or misfortune, thus plunging headlong into destructive tribulations!

“So, this Immeasurable Kalpa hasn’t ended because the people destined to die by Heavenly Dao haven’t died yet?”

After pondering for a moment and understanding Jiang Liu’s thoughts, Wutian Buddha seriously stared at Jiang Liu and asked!

“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this way!” Hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded in response!

Moreover, mentioning this, Jiang Liu paused slightly before continuing: “Or, more accurately, certain people whom Heavenly Dao wants dead, Heavenly Dao now doesn’t want them to know their destined fate of death; thus, the Immeasurable Kalpa hasn’t ended, nor has the merit from the Journey to the West for Scriptures been finally settled!”

“Of course…”

After thoroughly analyzing his thoughts, Jiang Liu shifted his tone and continued: “Of course, these are just some of my small conjectures, I cannot determine if the true situation is this way, and I wish Wutian Buddha would contemplate it well!”

“What is there left to contemplate? Your conjecture, although bold, is meticulously analyzed; if nothing unexpected happens, the truth of the matter is indeed as you said!”

“Hmm, since even Wutian Buddha agrees with my conjecture, surely my guess has some credibility!” Nodding, Jiang Liu also remarked with emotion!

“Jiang Liu…” The conversation reached this point, and Wutian Buddha’s gaze became solemn once more!

He also seriously focused on Jiang Liu, saying: “Since you have thought to this aspect, then I ask you again, regarding the person Heavenly Dao wants to deal with, do you have any thoughts in your heart?”

“I do!” Hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded once more in response!

“Oh? Who is it?” Hearing this, Wutian Buddha pursued further with this question!

“Isn’t it obvious? Two possibilities!” Jiang Liu extended his two fingers!

“If not against the Buddhist Sect, then it must be against us!”

“After all, among heaven and earth now, the greatest conflict is between my Ming Sect and the Buddhist Sect!”

“So, is it the Buddhist Sect or us?”

At these words, Wutian Buddha followed up with this question! The most important question now!

“In my view, the possibility of it being the Buddhist Sect is the greatest!” Jiang Liu answered!

Wutian Buddha said nothing, his eyes continued to fix on Jiang Liu, clearly waiting for Jiang Liu to give him an answer!

Does he believe that the Heavenly Dao wants to destroy the Buddhist Sect, and thus deliberately maintains the Immeasurable Kalpa?

The mysteries of heaven are obscure, leaving the Buddhist Sect unaware?

But what is the reason? There must be a reason for him to think so, right?

“Think about it, if the Heavenly Dao is really destined to destroy us, why impose a rule that Saints can no longer intervene in the Three Realms and Six Paths?” Jiang Liu asked Wutian Buddha!

“Indeed!” This statement made Wutian Buddha’s eyes light up, feeling that Jiang Liu’s words were indeed not wrong!

If it was truly destined for Ming Sect to be destroyed by Buddha, why would the Heavenly Dao prohibit Saints from taking action in the Three Realms and Six Paths!

The Heavenly Dao just needed to delay a bit for Hongjun Ancestor to issue this rule, and with Jieyin’s ability, they would have already eradicated Jiang Liu, wiped out the entire Ming Sect, right?

But, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun specifically mentioned prohibiting Saints from interfering with the Three Realms and Six Paths at the most critical moment!

Could this be considered the Heavenly Dao siding to protect Jiang Liu?

“Moreover! Sage Zhunti has already fallen!” Jiang Liu then reminded again!

These words made Wutian Buddha’s eyes shine once more!

It’s indeed true! Even the Buddhist Sect has seen a Saint fall, does this look like the Heavenly Dao wants to annihilate the Ming Sect?

This completely looks like the Heavenly Dao wants to annihilate the Buddhist Sect!

Moreover, doesn’t the current ten Quasi-Saints of the Ming Sect already confirm this point?

Though the Buddhist Sect seems prosperous now, it’s all just superficial, isn’t it?

Only a few ordinary cultivators and about three to five Daluo Golden Immortals have been added, but what help does that provide for the current situation of the Buddhist Sect? Absolutely none, right?

“So, if we join forces against the Buddhist Sect, then we are fulfilling the will of heaven!?”

After reminding him, Wutian Buddha realized this point and a joyful expression appeared on his face! He said to Jiang Liu!

When the time comes, the world aids; when fortune fails, heroes despair!

If actions align with heavenly intent, then everything will be twice as effective, even certain of success!

If Jiang Liu’s analysis is correct, then this is indeed great news!

As for the recent flourishing of the Buddhist Sect? It’s merely the scene that the Heavenly Dao intended for the destined rise of the Buddhist Sect, isn’t it?

“Of course…”

Just as Wutian Buddha was feeling elated, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke up, pouring cold water with these words: “Though my analysis is not wrong, there is another possibility as well!”

“What possibility?” Upon hearing this, Wutian Buddha’s heart tightened, and he asked Jiang Liu!

“That is, what the Heavenly Dao truly wants to destroy is actually us!”

“Our existence is merely to bring an indestructible calamity for the rise of the Buddhist Sect! Just like the Journey to the West had its eighty-one trials! For the Buddhist Sect to prosper, it must also undergo a series of trials, it is necessary!”

“And my earlier analyses, though seemingly reasonable, are actually just the Heavenly Dao’s ploy to mislead us into thinking that way!”

“This, this…”

Originally, after listening to Jiang Liu’s analysis, Wutian Buddha’s mood was quite good, but now, after hearing Jiang Liu’s further analysis, Wutian Buddha didn’t know what to say for a moment!

Although Jiang Liu’s latter words were unpleasant, Wutian Buddha also had to admit that they had some merit!

The possibility that the Heavenly Dao would act in this way is not entirely absent!

At this time, it seemed like both the Buddhist Sect and Ming Sect were playing their final cards!

Although analysis suggested that this card most likely benefited oneself,

But low-probability events could also happen!

“So? Wutian Buddha, are you willing to bet with me on this game?” Seeing the expression of Wutian Buddha, Jiang Liu smiled slightly and asked!

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Upon hearing this, Wutian Buddha gathered his thoughts, suppressing all his concerns!

Staring earnestly at Jiang Liu, he said, “Opposing the Buddhist Sect is no easy task, even a life-and-death struggle! Having embarked on this path, I never considered regretting!”

“In that case, let’s hope we win this gamble!” Jiang Liu extended his hand, smiling at Wutian Buddha as he spoke!

“Yes, let’s hope we win this gamble!”

Wutian Buddha also nodded, extending his hand to shake with Jiang Liu! Thus, their alliance was formally established!
