Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 362 Thirteen thousand five hundred pounds? Thirteen thousand five hundred breaths!

Actually...

She let out a long sigh, her eyes sparkling.

The chat group divided the world level into ten stars, from the one-star Hengsha world to the ten-star top-level Daqian world. The world she was in was only nine stars, the highest level was the Immortal Emperor, and this Journey to the West world was the first ten-star world in the chat group.

After thinking about it, in order to prevent these group members from committing suicide, Lin Xi still sent this message up.

Emperor Xi: This world of Journey to the West is a top-level universe, higher in level than the world where Han Li is. There is more than one Immortal Emperor, and Sun Wukong is also an Immortal King.

In top-level worlds like these, there are definitely more than one Immortal Emperors, and there are even stronger ones. This Journey to the West is not an easy journey!

Yue Buqun: Hiss! Immortal King!

Lao Yue looked completely listless, even showing his testicles. I wonder if the Zixia Immortal Lord could be compared to a heavenly soldier.

Zhang Sanfeng: After thinking about it, I think it’s better not to meet the Great Emperor Zhenwu.

Morgana: Is it so terrifying? Isn't it said that the golden hoop weighs more than 10,000 pounds?
Emperor Xi: Some golden hoop sticks weigh 13,500 kilograms, while others weigh 13,500 kilograms. The power of the gods and Buddhas in Journey to the West is obviously closer to those religious myths.

Zhang Sanfeng: Indeed, Zi Yang Zhenren said in the "Preface to the Four Hundred-Character Golden Elixir" that the maximum amount of breaths formed per day is 13500, and the minimum amount of breaths formed per day is miles in twelve hours. The number of is exactly the number of breaths a practitioner refines in a day.

Lin Jiu: The so-called 108,000-mile journey to the west does not necessarily mean walking 108,000 miles. First, eliminate the ten evils, which means walking 100,000 miles. Then eliminate the eight evils, which means walking 8,000 miles. If you see your true nature in every thought, you will always walk straight. In the blink of an eye, you will see Amitabha. If your mind can always see your true nature, you can reach the Western Paradise in the blink of an eye. This journey to the west is the path of cultivating your mind!

Yan Lingji: How profound!

Huang Rong: !!! @Sun Wukong, Great Sage, how are the cultivation realms divided in your place?
Huang Rong no longer dared to call him a monkey. She was afraid that a monkey at the Immortal King level would not be able to withstand a slap from him, so she had better show some respect.

Sun Wukong: I heard from my ancestors that there are five kinds of immortals in the world: heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts. I cultivate the way of the celestial immortals, and because I am not an orthodox Taoist, I am called Taiyi Immortal...

Because he knew that the group members all knew him, or perhaps because he hadn't spoken to anyone in many years, Sun Wukong recounted his experiences of learning Taoism from Patriarch Bodhi.

Sun Wukong: According to my "Dapin Tianxian Jue", below the immortals are refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Tao. Above the immortals, there are five realms, namely, Yin and Yang combined, three flowers gathered in the cauldron, five qi returned to the origin, the furnace of creation, and the mixed primordial qi. These five realms of the immortal way can also be called the nature of the law, the root of the source, the divine body, avoiding the three disasters, and the fruit of the Tao.

Sun Wukong: I, Sun Wukong, have practiced with the Grand Master for twenty years and cultivated the Furnace of Creation. Later, I greedily ate the peaches from the Immortal Palace and the elixir from Laojun, and practiced the power of Hunyuan in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. I reached the state of Hunyuan Yiqi and achieved the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. I was known as the Taiyi Golden Immortal above Hunyuan Yiqi, the highest state in the "Dapin Tianxian Jue". I thought I was invincible in the three realms, so I dared to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, thinking of seizing the throne of the Jade Emperor. I didn't expect to be suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain.

At this point, Sun Wukong felt a little discouraged. It seemed that no one in the group could rescue him, so he could only follow that stupid monk to obtain the scriptures.

Huang Rong: To become an immortal in just 20 years, what a talent! It's incredible!
Zhang Sanfeng: Don’t just focus on these twenty years, also look at how many years people have been nurturing in that place of “the ancestral roots of the ten continents and the origin of the three islands”.

Huang Rong: Hiss, that’s right. The only ones who can save Sun Wukong in the group are probably the group leader and Nuwa. We are not qualified in that world.

Sun Wukong: Can anyone really let me out? I am really tired of staying in this Five Elements Mountain. There used to be a kid who brought peaches to me, but now he hasn't been here for decades.

Xi Huang: Wait, actually I don’t think it’s necessary to ask the group leader and others to take action.

Emperor Xi: Sun Wukong has committed such a serious crime. Anyone else would have died. He was only suppressed for five hundred years. Now the five hundred years are almost over. If he can obtain the scriptures again, he will be able to achieve enlightenment. How many people would envy him.

Lin Xi really didn’t think that Journey to the West was a kind of confinement and suppression of Sun Wukong, and it didn’t seem like this was some kind of conspiracy-filled dark story.

Sun Wukong was originally just a very wild monkey, but his origin was better than that of other monsters.

At first he had no magical powers, so he was asexual. He didn't get angry when people scolded him, and he didn't get angry when people hit him. But after he acquired a lot of skills, he became arrogant. He called himself the Monkey King, and he robbed the Dragon Palace and made trouble in the underworld. The Dragon Palace had no grudges against him.

After being personally recruited by Taibai Jinxing and invited to the Heavenly Palace, he rebelled because he thought the position was too low. But putting aside the level of Sun Wukong's magical powers in the Heavenly Palace, it is impossible to be given a high position just after joining the organization. The sacred figures in the Heavenly Palace have not gone through many tribulations before they can become so.

For example, in the mortal court, even if you passed the imperial examination, you still had to start as a minor official. In the Tang Dynasty, those who passed the imperial examination were basically given positions of the eighth or ninth rank. How could you possibly reach the top in one step?

Well, he directly rebelled, left the organization without permission, and called himself the Monkey King, wanting to be on par with the top leader.

This was a serious crime no matter how you look at it, but not only did the Heavenly Court not punish him, it actually gave him an honorary title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Although it was an honorary title, it was of high rank, and he was also given a top-notch luxury mansion, the Great Sage Mansion. The work was leisurely, with few things to do but a great reputation. Then, because Sun Wukong was not invited to the Peach Banquet, he rebelled again.

No organization would be able to tolerate this!
If we don't suppress you, how can we keep people's hearts? The so-called havoc in heaven is more like an extreme rebellion launched by adolescent children against their parents, rather than a rebellious spirit.

It was only later that due to certain needs, this image was linked to resistance to feudalism.

In fact, who watched Monkey King in childhood? Isn’t it Monkey King who conquers demons and monsters?

In the end, Sun Wukong became the Fighting and Victory Buddha, one of the 35 Buddhas in Buddhism, a full-fledged Buddha-level official, and a true Buddhist high-ranking figure. The key person, the Jade Emperor, seemed to have forgotten to strip him of his position as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He now held two positions in Buddhism and the Heavenly Court. He is truly a winner in life.

What's more, becoming a Buddha doesn't mean that one loses freedom. Look at those Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, which one of them is not practicing in his own temple. Can Tathagata really care about Sun Wukong eating and drinking meat in the Flower-Fruit Mountain?
Who knows, after Sun Wukong becomes a Buddha, when he looks back on his experience of causing havoc in Heaven, he will find it just as unbearable as those adults looking back on their own history as a middle school student.

Emperor Xi: @Sun Wukong, think about it carefully. You will be out in a few days anyway. By then, even if Tang Monk is really as pedantic as in the book, you can just endure for a dozen years and get a good position, a real job. You have survived these five hundred years, so are you afraid of these ten years?
Sun Wukong: What you said does make sense, but when I think about what Guanyin Bodhisattva said about someone coming to save me, I feel like I’m being scratched by a cat and I don’t want to wait even a moment longer.

Sun Wukong: Never mind. It’s because I was young and frivolous back then. I didn’t know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. I deserve this punishment. I will just follow that silly monk and escort him to the West.

After five hundred years of trials and tribulations, Sun Wukong has become much calmer and calmer than before, and is no longer as impatient as before.

Besides, the stupid monk in the book is a bit pedantic, but he is not a bad person.

Huang Rong: Oh, I remember that in Journey to the West, the Silver Horn King said that the Supreme Taoist used the name of Nuwa to refine stones to mend the sky. What does this mean? Is it related to Nuwa?

Queen Wa: In the multiverse of the virtual sea and the myriad worlds, there are countless similar ones. They may just be born out of the influence of each other among the worlds, but they are not actually the same person.

When she reached the realm of Nuwa, who was half a step away from Daluo, she had already understood some of the mysteries of Daluo. Naturally, she knew that she was not the incarnation or brand of others. For example, Shang An had also incarnated as the Buddha and Taoist priest. The Nuwa of the Fairy Sword World had nothing to do with her.

Although there are many worlds in the virtual sea, and even more of them are similar, their true spirits are independent of each other. Even Shang An only feels uncomfortable with Donghuang Taiyi because of his name. In fact, there is no conflict or dispute between the two.

If you want to attain enlightenment, you must follow your own path.

It is the combination of everything about oneself, and is the way that is comprehended and sublimated from the original way of the world. Although there are similarities, there is no situation where two gods and demons who want to achieve Daluo have realized exactly the same way. If one completely practices and copies the way of others, then the ultimate highest achievement can only be below Daluo.

Like the three thousand gods and demons before the beginning of the primitive times, except for the great Pangu who realized his own way, the rest of the gods and demons only knew how to follow the way given by the Great Dao, but they all fell behind.

Huang Rong: Surprise! Goddess Nuwa actually answered me!
Yue Buqun: I have met the Queen, may you live forever. Sun Wukong: I have met the Queen Nuwa, hello.

Perhaps knowing from previous conversations that Nuwa was an incredible being with great supernatural powers, this Monkey King actually learned to take the initiative to greet her.

Watching the discussion in the group, Shang An kept peeking at the screen silently without participating.

It is just that through the law of cause and effect, Sun Wukong's cause and effect are constantly calculated in the world of Journey to the West.

"So the so-called Hunyuan Dao Fruit is equivalent to Taiyi Dao Fruit."

It is no wonder that Sun Wukong felt that he had already cultivated the highest Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but he didn't even last a round at the hands of Tathagata Buddha. The Immortal Emperor and the Immortal King were both at the Taiyi realm, but how could their strength be the same? The scope of this Hunyuan Dao Fruit is also so broad.

Sun Wukong had just achieved the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, and in the Three Realms he could barely touch the threshold of a great supernatural being.

When Yuanshi Tianzun started to lecture on the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan, even Zhenyuanzi ran to listen. It is impossible for Zhenyuanzi to have attained Hunyuan before he even achieved it.

The Buddha Tathagata may also have attained the state of Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but he is many levels higher than Sun Wukong.

"Moreover, there are beings in this world that have surpassed the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. This world doesn't seem to be much worse than the prehistoric world!"

"Is it the Yuanshi Tianzun? Or Tathagata or Taishang Laojun?"

“It just feels a little weird.”

……

The Western Paradise, Lingshan Buddha Land.

The Buddha resides in the Great Thunder Sound Temple, and his wisdom eye sees the three realms.

The candidate for the journey to obtain the scriptures has been chosen, and as luck and fortune converge, all kinds of disasters will also arise from this luck.

He had made a bet with Laojun, and he won, so he brought Buddhism to the East.

The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was a process he planned to spread Buddhism to the East.

The scriptures should not be passed on lightly, nor should they be taken empty-handed. If you directly send the true scriptures to ordinary people, they will probably just treat them as a few rolls of waste paper and not cherish them.

"The monkey's temper has calmed down a lot."

Seeing the monkey head exposed under the Five Elements Mountain, the Buddha could not help but smile.

This naughty monkey refused to obey discipline and caused chaos in the underworld, in heaven, and in the order of the three realms. He even made trouble before the Great Celestial Venerable. The sins he committed were indeed not small.

But his nature is pure and he has cultivated a clear spirit, so he is actually a demon fairy, not a demon. Besides, he is also his descendant, so if he lets him escort the reincarnated body of Jin Chanzi to obtain the scriptures, he will gain merit and fortune, and this can also eliminate his sins and achieve the right result.

"Bodhi, now I have repaid the favor of helping me achieve enlightenment!"

At their level, apart from the higher level of Hunyuan Wuji and fellow Taoists at the same level, even the Journey to the West is not a big deal. It is just a bet between him and Laojun. The so-called luck and merit are of little use at his level.

Saving Sun Wukong and allowing him to join the journey to the West was also to repay the favor of those who had helped him attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

A few days later, a handsome monk led a white horse passing by the Five Elements Mountain.

The monkey head buried in the haystack suddenly burst into a brilliant light.
"Master, Master, I'm here!!!"

The journey to the West gradually begins.

……

At the same time, in Qingwei Holy Land, Miro Palace.

In the residence of Yuanshi Tianzun, two Taoists were discussing the Tao.

Although there are no strange visions, every word and sentence is the true meaning of the great way.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are indeed the Yuanshi."

After this discussion, Shang An understood the true nature of this world and gave up the idea of ​​devouring it.

The so-called world of Journey to the West is different from the ancient times. Yuanshi Tianzun is the source of this world. The way of this world, at the end of every era, the immortals and gods will also come to an end.

At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun will transform into Yuanshi Tianwang and create the heaven and earth. This is the final catastrophe, and the heaven and earth will decay.

Even ordinary people who have achieved the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan are in danger of falling. Only by reaching the ultimate state of Hunyuan can one be free from worries. Therefore, achieving the ultimate state of Hunyuan is also called achieving the Dao, and Tathagata Buddha is the person who achieved the Dao in this era.

He realized the truth under the Bodhi tree, rethought the path of Buddhism, established Mahayana Buddhism, and became the second Buddhist leader after Amitabha Buddha.

In such a world, everything is tied to the body of Yuanshi Tianzun. Even the origin obtained after devouring it is very limited. Maybe it is more than most ordinary worlds, but Shang An really doesn't care about this now. If he wants more origin, he can only kill Yuanshi Tianzun.

But Yuanshi Tianzun had created the world countless times, and his power was far beyond that of Hongjun, so Shang An had no intention of making an enemy.

"I also cannot understand the path that fellow Taoist Taiyi is taking."

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and looked at Shang An with a very bright gaze.

Whenever a doomsday event came, he would reopen the world. It was not because he was idle, but also because he wanted to comprehend and practice his own Tao during the creation of the world. He also hoped that a fellow Taoist who could discuss Taoism with him would be born in this world.

However, to date, there have only been seven people who have reached the ultimate level of Hunyuan in the world, and no one can be compared with him.

Amitabha Buddha is known as the Most Honored One among Lights and the King among Buddhas, while Taishang Laojun is also known as the Supreme Taoist Ancestor and the Ancestor of All Saints. These two may be the ones closest to this realm, but it is also possible that they will never be able to comprehend this realm of Hunyuan Wuji until the end of countless epochs.
