All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Houtu disappeared on the Naihe Bridge and arrived above the Underworld. She began to clean up the Underworld, throwing all the people of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect out of the Underworld.

Now that Hongjun is dead, she fears no one.

After clearing away the underworld, Houtu sealed it off. From then on, even saints would not be able to find the underworld. The underworld became independent of the Earthly Immortal Realm, becoming a separate realm.

Above the Netherworld Blood Sea, there were many people who were somewhat bewildered, not knowing what was going on. They had been in the Underworld, but suddenly they appeared above the Blood Sea.

When they tried to enter the underworld again, it had vanished, leaving them even more bewildered.

How can the underworld simply disappear?

Styx appeared above the sea of ​​blood, looking at the people who had suddenly appeared in the air, and asked them with a very unfriendly expression.

"Why are you all here on my sea of ​​blood instead of staying in the underworld?"

He wasn't particularly bothered by the appearance of other people in the Blood Sea and Styx River, but he was very unhappy that the Western bald monk appeared in the Blood Sea.

"We've met the Styx Ancestor. We didn't want to leave the Underworld either; our appearance in the Blood Sea was out of necessity..."

One of them recounted the events to Styx.

Upon hearing this, Styx also began searching for the Underworld. He was quite familiar with the Underworld, but to his surprise, he couldn't find its location either, which was rather unreasonable.

Who is Styx? Apart from the saints, he is one of the most powerful quasi-saints.

The Underworld was born in the Netherworld Blood Sea, so how could he not find its location?

Since he couldn't find the location of the underworld, there was only one possibility: the Sage Houtu had tampered with it.

Looking at the people above the sea of ​​blood, Styx knew that they were mostly from the Chan Sect and the Western Sect. Instantly, Styx knew what was going on. These guys must have offended the Sage Houtu. Although the Sage Houtu could not leave the Underworld, she was the one who made the decisions there.

Styx smiled and disappeared into the sea of ​​blood, ignoring these stray dogs.

The group looked at each other, and then they disappeared into the sea of ​​blood to return and report the situation to the underworld.

When the people of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect returned and told them what had happened, they were also quite shocked, wondering how Houtu dared to do such a thing.

So they went to report this situation to the sage.

When Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western Saints learned of the situation, they were also helpless. They couldn't leave Zixiao Palace either, so what could they do?

The only thing they could do was report the situation in the underworld to the Dao Ancestor.

However, no matter how they consulted the Dao Ancestor, they received no response, and the question about the underworld could only be left unresolved.

Zhou Yongcheng came to Chang'an and experienced the Zhenguan era of the mythical world.

A few days later, Zhou Yongcheng saw underworld ghost messengers capturing ghosts and monsters in the human realm.

Zhou Yongcheng was quite satisfied with this. Ghosts and monsters should be dealt with by the people of the underworld, while demons should naturally be dealt with by the cultivators.

After spending a few days in Chang'an, Zhou Yongcheng considered whether to replace Tang Sanzang. However, he thought that after Tongtian comprehended the Jade Tablet of Creation, the Journey to the West world might undergo a major change, and the Journey to the West storyline might be difficult to continue.

Tongtian's disciples were either listed on the Investiture of the Gods, suppressed, or went to the Western Paradise.

After Tongtian emerges from seclusion, Zhou Yongcheng estimates that the Investiture of the Gods will likely be destroyed.

Those who are listed on the Investiture of the Gods will not make any progress in their cultivation and will be forever restricted by the Investiture of the Gods.

Zhou Yongcheng's desire to replace Tang Sanzang was essentially an attempt to overturn Mount Ling and create a Mount Ling that truly focused on Buddhist practice.

Now, demons and monsters roam around Mount Ling. Many Buddhas deliberately raise demons and monsters, using the guise of exorcising demons to harvest incense offerings. Seeing these so-called Buddhas of Mount Ling, Zhou Yongcheng thought of the Heavenly Court and many divine courts of previous worlds. The Buddhas of Mount Ling are just like them.

After some deliberation, Zhou Yongcheng decided to bring in someone to replace Tang Sanzang.

Upon arriving in the real world, Zhou Yongcheng finds a Buddhist practitioner in an unknown temple.

Although cultivation is impossible in the real world due to the lack of spiritual energy, it does not mean that spiritual practice is impossible.

Even without spiritual energy, one can cultivate the mind and soul.

The Buddhist practitioner Zhou Yongcheng sought out was Master Minghui, who was over ninety years old. He had also used the national enhancement drugs, so his lifespan was at least around one hundred and thirty or one hundred and forty years.

Master Minghui is a true monk. He not only has the heart of a Bodhisattva, but also the methods of a Vajra. He is kinder to good people than anyone else, and he will also take action against bad people.

This is why Zhou Yongcheng valued him.

That evening, while Master Minghui meditated, Zhou Yongcheng brought his soul into the world of Journey to the West.

Zhou Yongcheng arrived above the place where Tang Sanzang was and created a cheat system for Master Minghui. The cheat system was called the Buddha System. It had only one function: to exchange merit for cultivation. The more merit one had, the higher one's cultivation level would be, until one's cultivation level reached the Hunyuan Daluo Realm.

The Golden Finger was created using a Chaos Treasure as its vessel. If Minghui cultivates to the Primordial Realm, he will be able to perceive that the Golden Finger is actually a Chaos Treasure.

Having crafted the perfect "golden finger" (a powerful, albeit unorthodox, ability), Zhou Yongcheng implanted it into Minghui's soul and began to deal with Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang was too kind, and his previous incarnation, Jin Chanzi, was also a pitiful creature, basically a tool used by Buddha to spread the Dharma.

Zhou Yongcheng extracted Tang Seng's soul, which contained the true spirit of Jin Chanzi. As long as Tang Seng embarked on the path of cultivation and reached a certain level, he could awaken his memories.

Since Minghui is to become Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang's memories must be included.

They copied Tang Sanzang's memories and implanted them into Minghui's soul, then threw Minghui into Tang Sanzang's body.

Liu Er, leading the dragon horse, sensed that Tang Sanzang was feeling unwell, so he stopped.

"Master, what's wrong?" Liu Er asked with concern.

Minghui opened her eyes and felt a sudden surge of information in her brain.

Tang Sanzang? Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin)? The Water and Land Dharma Assembly? Guanyin? The Journey to the West to Obtain Buddhist Scriptures? ...

After reading the extra information in his mind, Minghui felt like he was dreaming, yet it also felt so real.

Then he looked at Liu Er, who was leading the horse and looking at him, and the horse he was riding. His memory showed that he had taken a monkey as a disciple on the journey to the West, named Liu Er. Later, Tang Sanzang named him Xingzhe (Pilgrim).

Minghui was a little confused. He had lived for over ninety years and had read Journey to the West. Wasn't Tang Sanzang's disciple named Sun Wukong? How could it be Liu Er?

The horse he rode was also wrong. In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang rode a white dragon horse, but in his memory, it was a black dragon horse, which was a bit low-class.

"Master?" Liu Er called out.

Minghui realized that he had become Tang Sanzang.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Liu Er led the horse and continued walking forward.

Minghui was organizing the information in her mind, which included not only information about Tang Sanzang but also information from another system.

The system is called the Buddha System. You can exchange merit points for cultivation levels. The more merit points you accumulate, the faster your cultivation levels will increase.

Furthermore, the system has another mission: to overthrow Mount Ling, replace Tathagata, ascend to the throne of Buddha, and reorganize Buddhism.

Minghui didn't know which great deity had brought him from the real world to the Journey to the West world, but he knew that Buddhism must have displeased that deity, otherwise they wouldn't have specially brought him here to replace Tang Sanzang.
