Zhao Feng intervened in the plots of the Buddhist Sect and the Heavenly Court regarding Jin Chanzi and the Stone Monkey. However, the unexpected reappearance of the Heavenly Dao's power and its clear revelation of the approaching Westward Journey Tribulation caught him off guard. The Heavenly Dao declared that all entangled in karma must enter the tribulation or face heavenly punishment. Meanwhile, a stone monkey was born on an island in the East Sea, a remnant of Nuwa's five-colored stones.

"This is where the hidden agents of the Buddhist sect are also located."

"The rise of the Buddhist sect is the key to the Westward Journey."

"Now that the power of the Heavenly Dao has returned, the Heavenly Mechanism is clear, the Westward Journey Tribulation has begun, and this Stone Monkey is the real key. To deal with him is to hinder the tribulation; to obstruct the rise of the Buddhist sect is to hinder the tribulation."

After organizing her thoughts, Turquoise Pool immediately spoke, "Issue the order, instruct the East Sea Dragon King to closely monitor the movements of the Stone Monkey, but do not act rashly. This monkey is the key to the rise of the Buddhist sect, and also follows the inclinations of the Heavenly Dao. If our Heavenly Court intervenes recklessly, it may incur heavenly punishment."

"I accept the order."

The Thousand-mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear took the command and left, while Turquoise Pool lapsed into contemplation. She knew well that now that the power of the Heavenly Dao has returned and the Heavenly Mechanism is clear, the Westward Journey Tribulation has begun. Any force attempting to defy heaven will surely suffer heavenly punishment. However, as the legitimate authority of the Three Realms, can the Heavenly Court sit idly by as the Buddhist sect rises without taking action?

Moreover.

It is already a great tribulation!

The Westward Journey Tribulation.

The rise of the Buddhist sect.

This seems unstoppable.

"Lady, should this matter be reported to the Heavenly Emperor?" a Heavenly Official cautiously inquired.

Turquoise Pool shook her head and spoke lightly, "The Heavenly Emperor is in seclusion, comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Without understanding it, he will not emerge from seclusion, so it is not appropriate to disturb him at this time. This matter will be handled entirely by this palace."

She was well aware.

Before Hao Tian emerges from seclusion, the Heavenly Court must not act rashly.

Great tribulation!

Turquoise Pool understood well.

This time.

The Heavenly Court must avoid the sharp edge of this great tribulation. After all, the power of the Heavenly Dao has returned, and whether the Saints have returned remains uncertain. If the Heavenly Court acts rashly, it risks drawing fire upon itself.

A sense of urgency swept through Turquoise Pool's heart.

Meanwhile!

Inside Huaguo Mountain.

"Haha, I have finally emerged into the world."

"Elders have instructed me previously that I must not reveal our connection yet, and that I must first adapt here before heading to Aolai State Academy to seek the path of cultivation."

"Now, I must not show my martial arts cultivation." The Stone Monkey thought secretly to himself.

Don't be deceived, thinking he has just emerged.

But he has been cultivating the Martial Arts Skill given by Zhao Feng within the Spirit Stone.

He is now already at the Martial Arts Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

You must realize.

He truly received the offensive skills from Zhao Feng less than twenty years ago, and he was always nurtured within the Spirit Stone, his body had not yet formed, the effect of cultivation within the Spirit Stone was negligible.

As he emerges.

With just a bit more cultivation, the Shattering Void Realm will be reached shortly.

As the Five-colored Stone, refined by the Saint of old, the Stone Monkey's talent naturally needs no years to develop.

"There are many of my kind there."

"I must first find them."

"I will only go to Aolai State when the opportunity the elder spoke of arrives."

Having taken a glance, the Stone Monkey immediately found a group of monkeys not far away.

He excitedly ran over, as if he had found his kin.

With the strength of the Stone Monkey and his naturally bestowed physique.

Very soon he became the king and overlord in Huaguo Mountain. He was born with spiritual wisdom, having immense strength, along with his cultivation, he quickly subdued the monkey groups in the mountain to become the Monkey King.

As the Stone Monkey emerged.

The Heavenly Dao Heavenly Mechanism was revealed.

The great tribulation appeared.

The entire world was already welcoming a certain change unfolding.

Upon Spirit Mountain.

Inside the Great Leiyin Temple.

A land shrouded by endless Buddha Light.

Duo Bao Tathagata sat with his legs crossed on the Lotus Platform, his gaze penetrating the void, landing upon Huaguo Mountain. His face bore a solemn expression.

Now.

The situation has changed.

His act for the rise of the Buddhist sect.

The moment the Stone Monkey emerged.

It unexpectedly prompted the return of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Duo Bao was certain that this return of the power of the Heavenly Dao, the warning from the Heavenly Mechanism, and the appearance of the great tribulation were all triggered by the emergence of the Stone Monkey.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

"The rise of our Buddhist sect has unexpectedly transformed into the Westward Journey Tribulation."

"Is this a good or bad thing?"

"Great tribulation."

"Those entangled in karma enter the tribulation."

"Now, in this world, how many Immortals and Gods, how many Buddhas do not have karma?"

"Rise? Tribulation?"

"Both sides."

At this moment.

Duo Bao pondered deeply.

Yet at this moment.

All the Buddhas inside the Great Leiyin Temple turned their gaze towards Duo Bao.

"World Venerable."

"The rise of our Buddhist sect has transformed into the Westward Journey Tribulation."

"Is this a good or bad thing for our Buddhist sect?"

"Those entangled in karma enter the tribulation, now almost all our Buddhist sect's Buddhas are touched by karma."

Manjusri asked worriedly.

This query.

Was naturally concerning for all the Buddhas inside the Leiyin Temple.

Great tribulation.

The many Buddhas inside the Great Leiyin Temple are no strangers to it.

It truly leads to falling.

Moreover, now is not the Divine Enthronement Tribulation.

During the Divine Enthronement Tribulation, there was still the Investiture of the Gods to protect the True Spirit, to preserve the path of godhood.

But this time, the tribulation clearly doesn't involve the True Spirit being on the list.

Upon hearing this!

Duo Bao, who had been lost in thought, came to his senses, smiled slightly, and addressed the countless Buddhas inside the Leiyin Temple, "The Stone Monkey has emerged, the Westward Journey Tribulation has officially begun. This monkey is the key to the rise of our Buddhist sect, you should closely watch its movements."

"I am certain this tribulation holds great benefits for our Buddhist sect, after all, it is a rise under our sect's leadership."

Hearing Duo Bao speak this way.

The Buddhas inside the Leiyin Temple felt slightly relieved, for Duo Bao had indeed spoken.

Guanyin clasped her hands and asked, "World Venerable, will the Heavenly Court and other forces interfere in this matter?"

"After all, now that our Buddhist sect's rise has become the Westward Journey Tribulation."

Duo Bao replied indifferently, "Although the Heavenly Court is the legitimate authority of the Three Realms, now that the power of the Heavenly Dao has returned, they dare not act rashly. As for other forces, although they have strength, they too do not fear the power of the tribulation. Should they obstruct, they would suffer heavenly punishment; though they may want to interfere, ultimately it's difficult to become influential. This tribulation is ordained by the Heavenly Dao, no one can defy it."

"World Venerable's wisdom." The bodhisattvas heard and nodded in agreement.

As the Heavenly Mechanism of the great tribulation appeared.

All the cultivators within the entire world were plunged into a state of unease.

"The great tribulation has begun, we're entangled in karma, how can we be spared?" a cultivator muttered to themselves, filled with despair.

"Heavenly punishment descends, survival comes with nine deaths, what can be done?" another cultivator lamented.

Meanwhile.

Above Qin Heavenly Palace.

But for Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng, father and son.

Things were slightly calm.

"The great tribulation!"

"Those entangled in karma enter the tribulation."

"This time, the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect, and even those evil cultivators consuming Spiritual Root Pills and human blood food, extracting people's Spiritual Charm will not have a good time." Zhao Feng chuckled slightly, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Feng'er."

"What exactly is the great tribulation?" Ying Zheng asked, somewhat confused.

After all.

The word 'great tribulation' had been distant from the current world for too long.

Ying Zheng, and indeed many ministers of Qin, came from the Mortal World, naturally unaware of the great tribulation.

And Zhao Feng, naturally since he had lived two lifetimes, knew about the great tribulation, understanding its terrors.

"The great tribulation."

"Is when all sentient beings fall into a kind of calamity."

"Or it can also be understood as the world's cleansing of all beings."

"Within the great tribulation, those entangled in karma will be eroded by Tribulation Qi, unaware of heavenly numbers, oblivious to the Heavenly Mechanism, forced into the tribulation, even hiding away, the calamity will find them, this is the tribulation."

"All beings, if entangled in karma, will not escape." Zhao Feng calmly explained.

"Cleansing of all beings by the world?"

"Why?" Ying Zheng furrowed his brow.

"Two words."

'Resources.'

"This world is only so big, resources are only so many, the endless cultivators within it consume the nature's spiritual energy every day, which depletes the world's origin power. If cultivators proliferate endlessly, it will certainly damage the origin power of the Heavenly Dao, ultimately unable to maintain the operation of the world, entering the End of Dharma Age."

"And with the fall of cultivators, the spiritual energy returns to the world, which is also a form of replenishment." Zhao Feng spoke lightly.

Hearing this.

Ying Zheng also completely understood: "So, this is the root cause of the great tribulation? Too many cultivators."
