Chapter 335 - 296: The Great Saint’s Secret Plan for Kong Xuan
The Great Hall of Mount Ling was quiet after the Buddha Ancestor had finished his sermon and all the Buddhas dispersed.
Peacock Great Ming King Kong Xuan made his way back to his own mountain gate, and Wukong and the others waited for him to enter before they proceeded to visit.
"Bodhisattva, the Victorious Fighting Buddha has come to visit," a little novice monk announced, hurrying in to report upon seeing Wukong’s arrival.
"Invite him in," Kong Xuan said.
Wukong entered Kong Xuan’s mountain gate and was invited into the room by Kong Xuan. The novice monk offered tea, and the two sat down cross-legged.
Wukong said, "I heard that Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva has regained his senses. Bodhisattva, you have been in Mount Ling for many years; have you heard any news of The Two Saints of the West?"
Kong Xuan replied, "Tathagata used the Power of the Heavens to brainwash me against my will, and I couldn’t resist. Last time, it was only because the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure intervened that I was able to regain my senses. The modified Buddhist Cultivation Method that Tathagata tampered with is too terrifying, with the ability to subtly influence and convert. Even though I have regained my senses, I dare not neglect it and must rid myself of the horror every day to avoid being brainwashed by Tathagata again. As for the news of The Two Saints of the West you asked about, I do have some information. Teacher Zhunti has already reincarnated part of his Primordial Spirit to layout strategies and foster the fortune of the Daoist Sect to resist Tathagata."
The decay of the Heavenly Dao was too severe, and it was difficult to single-handedly avert the crisis. Only with the cooperation of the Saints was Daoism able to confront Buddhism on equal terms. Before long, Daoism is going to flourish even more. However, it too will reach its peak and then decline, at which point the Buddhist sect will have an unshakable stronghold that cannot be replaced.
Overjoyed, Wukong said, "Zhun Ti Buddha Ancestor has already reincarnated? Do you know whom he has reincarnated as?"
