Hao Tian's Heavenly Court has suffered another devastating defeat at the hands of the Qin Court. Facing overwhelming odds, Hao Tian desperately seeks an audience with Tao Ancestor Hong Jun. Meanwhile, Xuanzang continues his pilgrimage west towards Five Finger Mountain, his path clear due to the Qin Army's presence near Heroic Pass. The Qin Court celebrates a monumental victory as General Wang Jian reports the annihilation of millions of Heavenly Soldiers and the capture of the Heroic Pass, a strategic location long coveted by Qin.

Above the Eastern Continent, over the East Sea, the excited cheers of the Qin people can be heard everywhere.

"This is great."

"The epic battle is finally over."

"The Heavenly Court Stronghold, from now on will no longer exist."

"The former Heavenly Court established the stronghold to block Qin's westward advance, but now it has become a joke."

"Indeed."

"The Heavenly Court Stronghold is now a laughingstock."

"With the disappearance of the Heavenly Court Stronghold, the Great Qin Heroic Pass emerges, and we the Qin people can now enter the Nan Zhanbu Continent."

"It is said the Nan Zhanbu Continent is the largest of the Four Great Continents, filled with endless opportunities. We should venture into Nan Zhanbu Continent together."

...

This good news spread like a tidal wave throughout Qin, stirring excitement and boiling passion in Qin from top to bottom.

For countless Qin people, words fail to convey the excitement and joy in their hearts at this moment.

The more powerful Qin became, the prouder and more exhilarated they felt as its citizens.

Now, the battle results are indeed glorious.

"Your Majesty."

Wang Jian looked expectantly at Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng, and asked respectfully: "The stronghold is seized, and the westward road is no longer blocked. Should the Qin Army continue its westward advance?"

In the dialogue.

Wang Jian's eyes sparkled with eagerness, clearly filled with anticipation for the coming battles.

"Previously…"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, looking at Wang Jian and said: "I have already discussed with the Crown Prince."

"Once the stronghold is broken, the Qin Soldiers shall follow Xuanzang westward without halt."

"Do you understand the meaning, Grand Commandant?" Ying Zheng's voice carried an indisputable confidence.

Upon hearing.

Wang Jian immediately understood, and bowed deeply saying: "I understand."

"From today onward, the Qin Army will continue its westward offensive, but will not surpass Xuanzang."

Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng expressed their intentions so clearly, it was impossible for Wang Jian not to understand.

"Exactly."

Ying Zheng's expression turned solemn as he spoke again: "I am handing over the command of all military camps to the Grand Commandant."

His gaze fixed upon Wang Jian, eyes filled with trust: "How to use troops, how to expand, these need not be explained by me."

"All in all, I wish only one thing: territorial expansion, population increase."

"Those who obstruct Qin's advance will be annihilated!"

Ying Zheng's words were full of dominance and determination.

At this point, Wang Jian had no hesitation and immediately accepted: "I obey the command."

The voice was firm and powerful, also demonstrating his own resolution to Ying Zheng.

Subsequently, Wang Jian withdrew.

Having received Ying Zheng's decree, the battles ahead naturally did not require reports for every detail, allowing him to flexibly command the Qin Army according to the battlefield situation, opening up new territories for Qin.

"Feng'er."

Ying Zheng turned his head, looked at Zhao Feng and asked with a smile: "Since the Buddhist Sect has already set the route, as long as Qin does not block this path, our expansion should not affect the great tribulation, right?"

Ying Zheng's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

Great Tribulation.

Ultimately, some influence remains.

"I previously probed the Nan Zhanbu Continent with Divine Thought."

Zhao Feng's expression was calm, and he said seriously: "This continent has already been completely enveloped by Tribulation Qi, as is the nature's spiritual energy."

"This continent has entered chaos, and all spirits within will stop at nothing to deal with Xuanzang."

"This great tribulation, once Xuanzang steps into Nan Zhanbu Continent, will no longer be within the Buddhist Sect's arrangements."

"Qin's expansion need not be constrained."

Following Xuanzang's entry into Nan Zhanbu Continent, Zhao Feng's Divine Thought also followed, clearly sensing the change in Tribulation Qi within the continent.

Under this influence, the endless spirits would fall into madness.

The trigger being Xuanzang.

Upon hearing, Ying Zheng nodded knowingly, saying: "It seems, there is much that Qin can do."

"Father." Zhao Feng let out a cold laugh, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes: "Next, once we seize Nan Zhanbu Continent, Qin will prepare to ascend to the Heaven Realm."

Although the great tribulation is Qin's objective.

But to destroy the Heavenly Court and replace it is even more Qin's true aim.

"I've waited too long for this day." Ying Zheng also laughed, a smile carrying a long-repressed satisfaction.

Years of waiting finally approaching the moment of eruption.

That day is not far off.

...

Five Finger Mountain, a mountain full of mysteries, stands quietly between heaven and earth at this moment.

The avatar enlightened by Zhao Feng lies pressed beneath the mountain, motionless, showing no expression or movement, seeming to merge with Five Finger Mountain.

And below the mountain, Sun Wukong had not even bothered to disguise himself, lounging by Five Finger Mountain, holding a peach in one hand, eating with relish.

With the Tian Xuan Mirror in hand, Sun Wukong need not worry about food, whatever he desires can be exchanged directly from the Tian Xuan Mirror, truly convenient.

"Great Saint."

A Buddha commissioned to guard Five Finger Mountain cautiously manifested his form, face full of respect, speaking to Sun Wukong: "The Scripture Seeker will soon come to Five Finger Mountain, do you… do you need to disguise yourself a bit?"

At this moment, for them it was the critical moment towards achieving Perfection, naturally not wishing for any mistakes to arise.

"I, Old Sun, disguise for nothing."

Sun Wukong glanced at the Buddha, eyes full of contempt, throwing the finished peach at the Buddha before him: "Want Old Sun pressed under Five Finger Mountain? Get lost."

For the Buddhist Sect, Sun Wukong considered it restraint not to directly kill the Buddhist person before him.

If not for Qin's scheme, Sun Wukong might have already erupted, turning everything around into chaos.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing Sun Wukong so ferocious, the Buddha had no choice, inwardly lamenting, could only retreat helplessly.

Should Sun Wukong truly unleash his Divine Power, none of these minor figures could intervene, then they would face utter obliteration.

At this moment, on the path before Five Finger Mountain, Xuanzang's figure drew closer. His steps remained steady, eyes resolute as he walked towards Five Finger Mountain.

"Five Finger Mountain."

Upon seeing the gigantic mountain, feeling the familiar Buddhist Law's pressure, Xuanzang immediately understood that this was another place associated with the Scripture Seeker.

Prior to coming, Xuanzang was made aware of all necessary information, he knew clearly that this Scripture Seeker was also a person of Qin.

Thinking of this, Xuanzang did not hesitate, directly stepping towards Five Finger Mountain.

"The Scripture Seeker is here."

"Quickly hide."

The Buddhist guardians of Five Finger Mountain spotted Xuanzang's silhouette from afar and hid swiftly like frightened birds, fearful of being discovered by Xuanzang.

Sun Wukong, leaning against Five Finger Mountain, lifted his eyes, naturally also seeing Xuanzang approaching.

"Xuanzang."

Sun Wukong thought inwardly: "The great master of Qin's Buddhist Sect, traveling west to transmit teachings."

"Tathagata, you wish Qin to seek scriptures, but Qin instead transmits teachings."

"Let's see what you can do."

"The seniors said this Xuanzang is indeed Qin's own, trustworthy."

Immediately, Sun Wukong composed himself.

"Master."

Sun Wukong shouted loudly: "Master, come over here..."

The voice echoed through the mountains, spreading afar.

Following Sun Wukong's voice, the barrier of Five Finger Mountain seemed non-existent, Xuanzang passed through effortlessly, arriving before Sun Wukong.

When Xuanzang saw the immobilized avatar under Five Finger Mountain and then looked at Sun Wukong, surprise flickered in his eyes.

"This avatar is so remarkable that this monk cannot distinguish it from the Benefactor's aura."

"It seems to be one and the same person."

Xuanzang expressed with some astonishment.
