Tianpeng Rebirth: The Battle of Buddhism and Taoism
Chapter 9: Preparations for the War
After receiving the order, Bajie, Yang Jian and Ao Bing immediately devoted themselves to preparing for the war. They knew that facing the profound Buddhist sect, every detail was related to success or failure, and no carelessness was allowed.
First, the three of them conducted a comprehensive review of the military strength of the Heavenly Court. Although there are many soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Court, they need to be further strengthened in order to cope with the upcoming fierce battle. With his outstanding military talent, Yang Jian developed a highly targeted training program. He grouped the soldiers according to their different specialties and mana attributes and carried out high-intensity actual combat simulation training. On the training ground, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers were sweating profusely under the scorching sun. They knew the importance of this war, and everyone was holding back their energy, hoping to make military achievements for the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms on the battlefield.
Ao Bing used the dragons' influence in the waters to summon a large number of water creatures to help. These water creatures have unique water combat skills, which can add a lot of variables to the heavenly army. Ao Bing personally guided them to conduct coordinated combat training with the heavenly soldiers, so that both sides could become familiar with each other's tactics and rhythm. For a time, the lakes and rivers in the heavens became a lively training ground, with splashing water and magic lights flashing in the water.
In addition to assisting in the training, Bajie also took on the important task of boosting morale. With his humorous personality and legendary experiences on the journey to the West, he often told everyone thrilling stories during the training breaks to rekindle the fighting spirit of the tired heavenly soldiers. At the same time, he also used the mysterious power of the "Reincarnation Disk" to increase the mana of some heavenly soldiers. Although it consumed a lot of mana each time, Bajie felt that all his efforts were worth it when he saw the heavenly soldiers' growing strength.
While preparing the troops, the preparation of weapons and magic weapons is also crucial. The divine weapon warehouse of the heavenly court was reopened, and the craftsmen worked day and night to polish and upgrade the existing weapons. Taishang Laojun also personally took action, using his superb alchemy and weapon refining skills to refine a batch of powerful magic weapons for this war. These magic weapons were distributed to the generals and elite soldiers in the army, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the heavenly army.
In addition to the Heavenly Palace itself, Bajie and the other two also ran around and contacted various forces. They went to Huaguo Mountain and contacted Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong heard that they were going to fight against Buddhism, he decided to lead the monkey monsters in Huaguo Mountain to join the battle without saying a word. He held the golden hoop in his hand, and his eyes revealed excitement and anticipation. He was full of fighting spirit for the confrontation with Buddhism again.
They also visited the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou, and invited the scattered immortals on the mountains to join the battle. These scattered immortals usually live freely, but after hearing about the ambitions of Buddhism, they all expressed their willingness to contribute their strength to maintain peace in the three realms.
However, just as the Heavenly Court was preparing for war, the Buddhist sect also noticed the Heavenly Court's movements. The Tathagata Buddha summoned all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats to discuss countermeasures.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "The Heavenly Court is coming with great force this time, uniting various forces. It seems that they are determined to oppose our Buddhist sect. We need to prepare early and not underestimate the enemy."
Manjusri Bodhisattva said, "Yes, especially Bajie and the others, who were able to stir up such a storm in the Heavenly Palace and even activated the 'Reversal Disk of Samsara'. They are indeed a serious threat."
The Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly, and said with a deep look: "Since they want to fight, then let's fight. Pass the order to have all the evil ghosts in the eighteen levels of hell go out to strengthen our Buddhist forces. At the same time, activate the Buddhist mountain protection formation and strengthen the vigilance. In addition, send a few Bodhisattvas to sneak into the heaven to disrupt their military morale."
Therefore, the Buddhist sect also began to prepare intensively. A war that swept across the three realms was like the calm before the storm. With the careful preparations of both sides, it was getting closer and closer, and the air seemed to be filled with tension. The two major forces of heaven and Buddhism were about to collide. Who would win in this war and rewrite the fate of the three realms? Everything was still unknown... But Bajie and others were not afraid at all. They firmly believed that as long as they united as one, they would be able to thwart the conspiracy of Buddhism and bring peace and prosperity to the three realms.
