If Tang Sanzang, with their concerted efforts, could gather a tremendous force...
Perhaps Tang Sanzang really did have a chance to notify Sun Wukong through telepathy.
But after all their efforts, they were still disappointed.
Tang Sanzang tried his best, but he couldn't even extend his divine sense, let alone sense any presence from Sun Wukong.
"Everyone, I have done my best!"
Tang Sanzang finally opened his eyes with a somber expression and shook his head slightly.
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas remained silent.
In fact, they had already anticipated this outcome.
It could even be said that they didn't have much hope at the beginning.
However, they all harbored a sliver of wishful thinking.
Now that they have indeed failed, they are inevitably somewhat disappointed.
At that moment, a suffocating atmosphere immediately filled the prison.
The faces of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas became solemn.
They now know that Sun Wukong plays a crucial role in this calamity, and they all want to contact him immediately.
Wutian's rule over Mount Ling is not as simple as it seems.
The reason why Wutian hasn't killed them yet is simple: they still have some value to him.
Once they lose their usefulness and Wutian has completely taken control of the Three Realms, their death is imminent.
This is a principle that anyone can understand.
Therefore, at this moment, they are missing that monkey, which they usually find extremely annoying, very much.
They wished Sun Wukong would appear before them immediately and rescue them from their misery.
"No, we can't delay any longer!"
A Buddha suddenly stood up and spoke in a heavy and solemn tone.
"The Victorious Fighting Buddha is the hope of our Buddhist community and even the entire Three Realms."
"We can't contact the Victorious Fighting Buddha now, and he doesn't know about the coming calamity."
"What if he were accidentally killed by Wutian? Wouldn't the Three Realms never have peace again?!"
The other Buddha nodded in agreement.
"But now that we've lost all our magical powers, we can't contact the Victorious Fighting Buddha at all. There's nothing we can do!"
Another Buddha sighed and said with a somber expression.
"Even Sanzang failed, and we..."
Another Buddha shook his head helplessly and said.
"wrong!"
"There's another way!"
Tang Sanzang suddenly stood up, interrupting a Buddha.
"We can also go directly to Wukong!"
Tang Sanzang said solemnly, his expression carrying a hint of determination.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas exchanged glances, all deeply moved.
Having lost all their magical powers, they were naturally unable to cross the heavily guarded underworld to find Sun Wukong in the Eastern Continent.
Now, only Tang Sanzang has recovered some of his cultivation within the cage.
Therefore, what Tang Sanzang meant by saying these words was...
"Sanzang, do you intend to..."
Guanyin looked at Tang Sanzang and spoke.
The other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats also understood what Tang Sanzang wanted to do.
"The Three Realms can exist without Tang Sanzang, but they cannot exist without the Tathagata Buddha!"
"This concerns the safety of the Three Realms; no matter what, this humble monk must make this trip!"
Tang Sanzang nodded heavily, having already made a decision in his heart.
"But then, your safety..."
Guanyin said hesitantly.
Tang Sanzang's cultivation level was not very high.
Even if they regained their cultivation, they would still be incredibly vulnerable in the face of the vast array of demons and monsters.
In order to imprison all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Wutian must have deployed a large number of troops to guard them in the underworld.
The possibility of Tang Sanzang not being discovered is almost zero!
In other words, Tang Sanzang could very well be discovered the moment he stepped out of the prison.
Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel anxious as well.
"At this point, we have no other choice!"
"The reincarnation of Buddha is in imminent danger, and the only hope for the Three Realms, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, is also facing an uncertain fate. This humble monk must take this risk!"
"I am but a humble monk, and my death is not a pity. But if the Three Realms fall into the clutches of the wicked, then we are the sinners of the Three Realms!"
Tang Sanzang said with a serious expression.
Hearing Tang Sanzang's righteous words, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas felt extremely ashamed.
However, even if they wanted to sacrifice themselves, they lacked the necessary conditions.
After all, their cultivation and primordial spirits had been suppressed by Wutian, and only Tang Sanzang had recovered some of his cultivation.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas no longer hesitated.
"Good! Sanzang, if this mission is successful, you will be the Buddha with the greatest merit in Buddhism!"
"That's right, Sanzang's enlightenment is something we should learn from!"
"..."
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all spoke up.
"Sanzang, when you go to the outside world, you must be careful in everything you do!"
Guanyin thought for a moment and then gave some instructions.
"Sanzang, this place is guarded by demons and monsters without heaven. How do you plan to escape?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly spoke and asked a question.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all wore wry smiles.
Indeed, with so many demons and monsters guarding and watching over them, escaping would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
If they still possessed cultivation levels, escaping would be incredibly easy.
However, their cultivation levels have all been sealed by Wutian.
Furthermore, they had learned from these demons and monsters that their prison was surrounded by the Weak Water.
What is Weak Water?
They know it better than anyone else.
It was a kind of divine water that would corrode and poison even gods and Buddhas if they fell into it.
Moreover, the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation is guarded by numerous demons and monsters.
It would be infinitely more difficult for Tang Sanzang to escape from here than to go on his journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures!
We have to escape, no matter what, or we'll still have a chance to survive!
"Otherwise, we'll just have to sit here and wait to die!"
Tang Sanzang gently shook his head and said firmly.
The Bodhisattvas Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Ksitigarbha, and the other Buddhas standing to the side all looked at Tang Sanzang and nodded slightly.
Everyone has selfish motives!
Even gods and Buddhas are no exception.
The higher one's cultivation level, the longer one lives, and the more afraid one becomes of death.
Both publicly and privately, they all desperately wanted Tang Sanzang to escape.
"Amitabha! Fearless and undaunted, wise and courageous, this is the highest Dharma of our Buddhist school!"
A Buddha wearing a kasaya spoke.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand, and as if by magic, something appeared in his hand and was handed to Tang Sanzang.
"This is a magical treasure that has been with me for thousands of years. This treasure has no offensive or defensive capabilities whatsoever!"
"However, it contains the fortune of Buddhism accumulated over thousands of years, which can turn bad luck into good luck. I hope it can keep you safe."
The Buddha spoke solemnly to Tang Sanzang.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang did not hesitate; he directly accepted the spiritual treasure given to him by the Buddha.
Because he really needs these things right now; it's a matter of life and death for the Three Realms.
Moreover, this concerns the fate of their Buddhist community!
"Amitabha! In that case, let us lend a hand to Sanzang!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva put her hands together in prayer and spoke.
"Amitabha Buddha, this is the only hope!"
"Let us all join forces to send Sanzang into the cycle of reincarnation. Whether we succeed or fail, let fate decide!"
