MTLNOVEL Chapter 627
But this fellow, although outwardly devout, inside he cursed Tathagata and the entire Buddhist Sect all over.
As Chen Sanzang finished reciting the scriptures, the Buddha Seal emitted a burst of gold light, slowly flying away from the summit of Five-finger Mountain.
And as this Buddha Seal left, the Five Elements Formation linked beneath Five Elements Mountain instantly stopped functioning, and the vast Five Elements Power began to slowly dissipate in all directions.
Western Heavenly Spiritual Mountain, Leiyin Temple.
A projection appeared in the sky, showing the situation at Five Elements Mountain.
Upon seeing the undisciplined Chen Sanzang honestly kneeling in front of the Buddha Seal, bowing three times and nine kowtows, Tathagata Buddha's lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
And many in Leiyin Temple, including Buddha Bodhisattvas, secretly breathed a sigh of relief after watching this scene, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva.
For the Westward Journey affair, she had been tirelessly working, and the beginning was going well. Unexpectedly, due to a slight slip, the final reincarnation of Golden Cicada ended up in Java Country.
This change almost made Guanyin think the Westward Journey affair was ruined. But unexpectedly, the unreliable Chen Sanzang, although outwardly nonchalant and practicing Joyful Zen, completely disregarded the Buddhist Sect's rules and regulations.
Yet his deeply hidden Buddha Nature remained unchanged; his pure Buddha Essence could be compared with Tathagata Buddha.
Seeing Chen Sanzang devoutly worshipping now, Guanyin was able to let go of most of her worries.
At least, for now, it seemed this lifetime's Golden Cicada was unlikely to fall into the Demon Path.
After all, the Western Teaching was established on the Demonic Cult, and the line between Buddha and demon is truly thin; this is why, in the Primordial World, the majority of cultivators who fall into madness are Buddhist practitioners, the Buddha demon only varies by a thought.
"We can slightly relax the monitoring of Chen Sanzang. Now the most important thing is the layout in the Western Continent."
Tathagata Buddha waved a hand, and the light screen in the sky disappeared, replaced by the map of the Western Continent.
However, on this map, very many tiny red dots appeared, showing the route from where Chen Sanzang entered the Western Continent, all the way to Western Heavenly Spiritual Mountain's Leiyin Temple.
"The Heavenly Court and Three Religions, along with some powers interference, we need to clear a batch, just in time to expand the regions controlled by the Buddhist Sect."
The Western Continent is the base camp of Buddhism, but not entirely under its control; it's filled with many nails, either arranged by the Heavenly Court, or methods of the Three Religions, or hidden by other forces.
They plan to use Chen Sanzang's Westward Journey to uproot along the way some powers not under the Buddhist Sect's control!
The Buddhist Sect is plotting how to completely control the Western Continent.
Five Elements Mountain, after Chen Sanzang finished worshipping the Buddha Seal, Five-finger Mountain started shaking.
"Master Sanzang, step away quickly, Old Sun is coming out!"
Feeling the dispersion of the Five Elements Power, and sensing the disappearance of the binding seal, Sun Wukong pushed upward with both hands and shouldered Five Elements Mountain.
Mountains crumbled and land was split, dust filled the sky, and amid a loud noise, a fat monkey shot upwards, straight into the skies.
"Old Sun is out! Haha..."
Flying in the air, Chen Sanzang unknowingly took out a Memory Stone and started snapping fiercely at Sun Wukong.
Before Sun Wukong realized, he quickly stored this kind of black material away.
Sun Wukong was indeed capable, and with a few somersaults, his originally round body instantly slimmed down, turning back into the charming Monkey King beloved by thousands of female monkeys!
"This Little Kongkong is much easier on the eyes. The bloated Fat Monkey King looks simple-minded; if that Memory Stone were sold, it would probably fetch plenty of good things."
In the Myriad Worlds of the Heavens, Sun Wukong's fame is extremely high, and people would surely pay for his scandals.
This is why Chen Sanzang and Old Xi wanted to film him.
"Alright, Little Kongkong, stop jumping; we should start moving now."
Flying in the sky, Chen Sanzang exposed a strange smile to a patch of cloud.
"Sanzang, the Heavenly Mechanism has been obscured. Information within a thousand-mile radius is blocked; you have ten minutes to act. After that, the chances of being discovered increase geometrically."
Tathagata Buddha can directly observe those weaker in cultivation level than him, but Old Xi is even stronger, and with Pig God backing him up, it's much easier to fool them.
Of course, if Tathagata Buddha directly appeared at Five Elements Mountain, it would be different, since watching with the naked eye differs greatly from observing from afar, especially within a Mythical World.
Old Xi simply covered a thousand miles, letting everything proceed according to his play, easily deceiving the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court's vision.
And the Immortals and Buddhas, receiving messages from their leaders, were preparing to return when they suddenly discovered the silhouette of a monkey on their return path.
A monkey emitting fierce light, with a cold and sinister smile, made the Immortals and Buddhas feel inexplicably chilled inside.
"Where do you plan to go?"
Sun Wukong looked at them viciously. Being trapped here, these people acted as Prison Chiefs. If it weren't for Great Qin Empire's intervention, they would've forced him to consume Iron Juice and Copper Pills!
With mana sealed, consuming too much Iron Juice and Copper Pills would definitely hinder the purity of the body, unnecessarily increasing the difficulty of cultivating the Chaos Demon Ape Technique.
Clearly, this was the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court's plot, wanting to prevent him from breaking through, even aiming to cut off his path.
How could the monkey not hate?
But lacking strength, he could only endure.
