Chapter 5, Guiding the Way

In this brief period, should we still attend to those trivial matters

However, Jandi was very pleased after hearing this

This statement is too vague

It is precisely because the future is uncertain that you should uphold your promises during your lifetime, for the divine does not violate oaths; this is the unchanging creed of the divine race

With my humble and limited understanding

We, the people of the divine race, place great importance on promises. It would be better for you to fulfill your own commitments first before contemplating matters three years from now

After Master Xuanzang returned from his westward journey, he brought back the authentic Buddhist scriptures, using these texts to educate the masses. He also subdued the various nations of the Western Regions and tamed foreign tribes. The court organized large-scale efforts to build temples and invited various nations to submit to his teachings

Chen Zhi then opened his eyes and looked at Jian Di

Do you know about the matter of Master Bianji?

Chief Chen, I beg your pardon for speaking frankly on behalf of the divine!

Oh..." Chen Zhi was pondering with his eyes closed

Jindi tentatively placed her delicate fingers on Chen Zhi's temple, gently massaging

Is it to make me emulate his worship of the deities?

At this point, Chen Zhi was very upset, shook his head, and did not continue speaking

Patriarch

Chen Zhilue tilted his head slightly and spoke gently to Xuanlin

Three years from now, this land may not know whether it can continue to exist, and we may all perish

Did that monk Bianji really have an affair with the princess

Moreover, the servants and their kin belong to the ancient divine clan, and in order to avoid being regarded as outsiders, it is best to maintain a respectful distance from such enlightened monks of the Buddhist sect

In the memories of my ancestors, I have witnessed the splendor of the Tang Dynasty

The dark bird, adorned with half its body covered in pure white feathers and draped in a thin veil of white, gracefully flew in through the window and landed on Chen Zhi's bed, then gently placed its hands on Chen Zhi's shoulders to relieve his tension.

The meaning of this sentence is indeed too vague, is it asking me to emulate my ancestor Jiang Ziya

Chen Zhi snapped his fingers, and the curtains immediately opened automatically, the window opened, and a gentle breeze flowed in

Xuanlin's voice suddenly began to grow faint and ethereal, and her body started to become transparent, as if she might disappear at any moment

Treading upon the traces of our ancestors, imitating what they have gained and what they have lost

Since then, the people of the Tang Dynasty embraced Buddhism, with Buddhist temples being built everywhere. People from all over the world accepted the blessings of the Buddha, which was truly unprecedented. It was also from that time that the number of those who believed in the deities of Huaxia began to dwindle.

As for Xuanzang himself, I cannot recall him in my memory. My clan has long been flying in the distant borders, far removed from the teachings of Buddhism

Three years later, I still have no chance of winning

However, as a friend, I can help you decipher the secrets of heaven, penetrate the fate, and point out a path for you

The patriarch should not be anxious for the time being

The Xuanniao clan of the servants excels in gathering information, and the memories of deceased ancestors can also be inherited.

It is not that time flows too quickly, but rather that you feel there is too little time to do what you ought to do, and then everything will naturally fall into place

I do not think so

Congratulations, Master. The heavenly secrets allow you to tread upon the traces of your ancestors, which is an auspicious sign, Master

Chief Chen, it is a great fortune to be appointed as a deity by you. The most profound realization I have attained is that in this world, there is no distinction between large and small, and the same applies to time

I have already stated that regarding the secrets of heaven, I can only disclose this much

The master's emotions fluctuate!

I am already doing it

After Xuanlin finished speaking, his voice immediately vanished, and his figure subsequently disappeared as well

Fulfill the commitment

Moreover, I always feel that the barrier...

It is not that simple

The Tang Dynasty truly was a prosperous era, with flowers blooming like brocade and colors dazzling. I have also witnessed the people of the Tang Dynasty during that time; they were enlightened in their thoughts and free in their actions. In this peaceful and flourishing age, they held Buddhism in the highest regard

Xuan Lin looked at Chen Zhi with a gentle smile

Jandi, have you heard about the journey of Xuanzang to the West

This divination result lacks substantial meaning, and it is truly difficult to decipher this statement

I have witnessed the Queen of the Underworld with my own eyes and have fought against her. I know the extent of her power, and facing her with the newly consecrated deities after three years offers no assurance of victory.

It seems that Xuanzang's journey to the West was indeed real, and the court's attitude towards him at that time was also genuine

After all the light faded away, Chen Zhi's bedroom returned to its normal state, enveloped in complete darkness

The servant has heard of ... ...

The matter of Tianfa Temple

You will definitely win, you need not worry any longer

How can we emulate a person from five thousand years ago, whose actions are not clearly documented, and even if they were, their authenticity cannot be verified

After Xuanlin finished speaking, he closed his eyes and placed his hands on the mask

Chen Zhi immediately asked

Master, what is the result of the divination performed by the mountain deity for you

Chen Zhi gently shook his head, not only recalling Xuan Lin's words again

This proves that there is still a chance of victory against Fengdu's Queen of the Underworld. You only need to emulate your ancestor Jiang Ziya, recruit the divine descendants from all over the world, consecrate new deities, and lead the people in a campaign against those entities of the underworld to achieve victory!

Chen Zhi closed his eyes, leaning against Jian Di's body, which was covered in cool feathers, savoring this sentence carefully. After a long silence, he finally opened his eyes.

Chen Zhi leaned back against Jian Di, closed his eyes, and after a long silence, repeated the divination results from earlier

Moreover, divine-level spirit stones are rare in the world; aside from the Gada gemstone, I cannot ascertain whether there is a second one. It is not easy to communicate with the deities during the Fengshan ceremony.

Chen Zhi's brows furrowed slightly

But will this allow me to defeat the Queen of the Underworld

It is the original version of Journey to the West

Now, throughout the land of Huaxia, who does not know that you are the reincarnation of Jiang Shang? In the past, Jiang Shang, the Divine Sovereign, was so magnificent, treading on clouds, flowing against the currents of the Nine Realms, commanding all the gods of the world, with none daring to contend with him, proving that you are to rival the status of the former Divine Sovereign Jiang Shang!

The dark bird immediately pressed its body close, bringing its beak to Chen Zhi's ear, and gently said

What is the use of those? Perhaps this world will have collapsed in three years!

First, adhere to your own commitments? Then, "tread upon the traces of your ancestors, imitating what they have gained and what they have lost"

Do you still have unfulfilled commitments at hand
