Chat group: Journey to the West at the end of the law, investing in all worlds

Chapter 183 Taibai Jinxing guides Wukong to see Bodhi for the second time!

Laozi seemed to have sensed something and woke up from his state of rest with his eyes closed, and glanced at Manjushri Bodhisattva.

"There is no such person as Chen Chu in my family!"

This... Of course the gods knew that Manjusri asked this question in a roundabout way and directed it at Tongtian.

Therefore, Manjusri bowed again and said, "Saint of Bajing Palace, do you know the origin of Chen Chu?"

Taishang Laojun paused for a moment, then shook his head indifferently.

“…I don’t know!”

Chen Chu's secrets were hidden, and he could only figure out a few things at the beginning.

At that time, he also noticed that, like several other people, he calculated that he was a person with a karmic relationship with the ancient world, but he had no idea what the karmic relationship was.

After all, the other party is not the reincarnation of some great god.

But that terrifying luck and purple energy...

Nuwa, Tongtian, Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Jieyin all chose to form relationships.

Only his father did not care about worldly affairs and was only focused on pursuing the great way, so he never took any action.

Naturally, he didn't know the other party's origins.

When Manjusri asked, Taishang Laojun had no intention of hiding it and told him the truth directly.

But when Manjusri saw this, it made him more certain of his guess that Chen Chu was deliberately cultivated by Tongtian to make things difficult for Buddhism.

"His Majesty!"

Manjusri bowed to the Jade Emperor with a heavy heart.

The Jade Emperor did not say a word, but looked at Sun Wukong and others who were arriving from behind.

“Your Majesty,” although she was a homely girl, Yunxiao was also a very smart person. Seeing that the situation was very subtle, she immediately stepped forward and said, “The formation in front of the gate is not the Nine Bend Formation mentioned by Sun Wukong, nor is it the Ten Absolute Formation. It is a new formation that combines the Ten Absolute Formation and the Nine Bend Formation.”

"A new formation that combines the Ten Absolutes and Nine Bends?"

The gods in the entire hall were in an uproar when they heard this, especially the representative of the Thunder Department.

After the death of the ten heavenly kings who helped Wen Zhong deal with Jiang Ziya, all of them became Wen Zhong's subordinates and became the current heavenly kings of the Thunder Department who urge clouds and rain to protect the law.

The people of the Thunder Department are very aware of the power of these ten formations.

But now... Yunxiao actually said that someone has combined the Ten Absolutes into one, and also integrated the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation...

“That’s right!” Yun Xiao nodded, responding to the shocked voice. “That formation combines the exquisiteness of the Ten Absolute Formations and the Nine Bends of the Yellow River Formation into one, and has also improved and strengthened the original foundation of the entire formation. Now the formation is integrated, and all kinds of murderous intentions are linked together. If one of them is affected, the whole body will be affected. It is not something we can break!”

"This……"

"If you pull one part, the whole body will be affected?"

"No wonder Cihang fell so quickly!"

"The Nine-bend Yellow River Formation is already invincible. Now that it doesn't need any conditions to be activated, and the Ten Absolutes are integrated, there is no escape. It's linked together. I can't imagine that except for a saint, who else in the world can break it?"

"The Buddhist sect has hit a wall this time!"

The gods communicated secretly, and several of the disciples back then had deep eyes.

"Is this person really from my Jiejiao sect?"

He can use the Ten Absolute Skills and Nine Bends, and has the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, targeting Buddhism.

This directly maxes out the Tongtian element.

As they thought about it, they looked at the Jade Emperor on the platform in unison, as if they had made the same choice to protect each other no matter what.

For a moment, undercurrents surged in the Lingxiao Palace. Sun Wukong also noticed some clues. He was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, jumping up and down, worried about his physical body.

But at this moment, the gods had no time to pay attention to him.

The Jade Emperor paused his gaze on the clouds, then looked at Manjusri, and his mighty divine voice resounded throughout the palace.

"... Manjusri, it was you, the Buddhist sect, who were at fault in the first place."

"Besides, do you know that Chen Chu is a first-rank immortal official that my Heavenly Court has just appointed? You, the Buddhists, disregarded the majesty of Heavenly Court and attacked him privately. I haven't punished you yet, and now you come to me again..."

"Amitabha," Manjushri knew this would happen before he came.

After all, the beheading of Mahakala and the Eighteen Arhats was witnessed by all three realms that day.

They also thought of a countermeasure, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. We have no ill intentions, we are just trying to catch the evildoer who escaped down the mountain and brought disaster to the people."

Capture the evildoer that is causing harm to the people?
Jade Emperor: “???”

"That evildoer was originally a scorpion spirit from Leiyin Temple. Because she did not put her palms together while listening to Buddhist scriptures, Tathagata Buddha pushed her. She then stabbed the Buddha with a poisonous stake and hurt him. The Buddha ordered Vajra to capture her, and she fled to the Pipa Cave in Dudi Mountain near Xiliang State."

"It was only a few days ago that we discovered her whereabouts and sent King Ming to arrest her. But who knew that the evildoer had bewitched the Taoist Master Taichu, who protected her and even fought with King Ming!"

Manjusri said it so naturally, as if it was really a matter of fact, that for a moment all the gods in the Lingxiao Palace were stunned, and some of them were unable to react.

They knew that the bald monks in Buddhism were thick-skinned, but they didn't expect them to be so thick-skinned.

Attack Taichu Daozun, attack Taichu Daozun, and blame everything on a monster...

Damn it, didn’t you guys at Lingshan deliberately release that monster to complete the eighty-one tribulations?

Good guy, really a good guy!

The gods had a new insight into the shamelessness of Buddhism.

Even Sun Wukong couldn't help but look at Manjusri.

At this moment, he just wanted to curse.

If he hadn't seen the Scorpion Demon's humble attitude in front of that person, he would have almost believed it.

Charm... How can you even say something like this?

How high is Chen Chu's cultivation level? How high is that Scorpion Demon's cultivation level?
The Scorpion Spirit seduces Chen Chu...

This Buddhist perspective is truly unique.

Even Taishang Laojun couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see that Manjusri was still continuing.

"One day in heaven is one year on earth. This matter happened too suddenly. We didn't even have time to report it before such a big thing happened. That's why it was delayed..."

"I didn't expect that this would lead to such a disaster!"

Manjusri looked worried and sighed as if he was the victim.

"The Taoist Master Taichu was teased by the Scorpion Demon in a short period of time, and his lust grew. He fell in love with the Queen of the Kingdom of Women who came to the mountain to seek the Dharma. He was not aware of it, so the Queen of the Kingdom of Women ignored the lives of the people of the country, forgot her own responsibilities, fell into the trap of lust, and went up the mountain in a few days!"

"He even did not hesitate to exploit his people, forcing them to travel across mountains and rivers to preach in the three realms!"

"Buddha is merciful. Seeing this, he wanted to save the Kingdom of Women from suffering. He instructed Sanzang and others to eliminate their minions so that she could awaken to enlightenment. Who knew that he angered the Great Dao Master Taichu..."

Everyone knew what happened afterwards. Chen Chu captured Tang Sanzang and set up the Immortal-Slaying God Formation.

Manjusri did not say anything else, but gave a brief summary.

"you……"

Manjusri was eloquent and could say a lot of things in a logical and coherent manner in a short while.

When the gods came back to their senses from their shock, Manjusri had already blamed all the problems and the root of the Buddhist sect's intervention on Chen Chu, accusing Chen Chu of having worldly desires.

"How dare you confuse right and wrong!"

"From what I know, it was you bald asses who coveted the rise of the Taoist Primordial Martial Arts and undermined the foundation of your Buddhist sect, so you did something bad in secret. Why are you saying today that it was the Taoist Primordial Martial Arts' fault?"

The disciples of Jiejiao, led by Dou Mu Yuanjun, came out to criticize.

Even Qiongxiao's face was filled with indignation, and he seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Yunxiao.

But the cold light in his eyes...

As we all know, those who actually take action will not say harsh words.

These actions and undisguised gazes made Manjusri's cold heart beat violently.

Because if these guys attacked him, he would really have no way to defend himself.

You have to know that it was not his soul that became a god, but his body that became a saint. He has no ability to revive. If his body is shattered, and he tries to take his soul...

But now that it has come to this, there is no turning back.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Court has issued a clear order to forbid the immortals and gods of the Three Realms from falling in love. This time, the Taoist Taichu has actually defied the Heavenly Court's precepts and rules. Your Majesty, please punish him strictly."

Manjusri gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, who will abide by the rules of heaven and who will be pure and free from desire in the future?"

Well, he also said, "If everyone goes to learn from the Taoist Taichu, won't the three realms be in chaos?"

This was a bit of an exaggeration, and Manjusri didn't dare to say it out loud, nor did he dare to put this accusation on anyone.

But... this has already shocked everyone present.

This was obviously a shameless act by the Buddhist sect, but after this guy's words, it turned into as if Chen Chu was the one who made the mistake first, and they, the Buddhist sect, were forced to take action in order to prevent a big mistake from happening?

"This……"

The indignant gods were stunned by what was said, and were rendered speechless.

But I didn’t know how to respond to Manjusri’s shamelessness.

It took someone like Taibai Jinxing to come to his senses and quickly speak up to stop him, "Great Master, be careful with your words!"

However, Manjusri's other mission was to stir up trouble, so how could he let it go like this?
He said openly and secretly: "The Three Realms have just been stabilized for a few eons under the will of the Taoist Ancestor. Our Buddhist sect will definitely not encourage the growth of such evil trends and plunge the Three Realms into chaos again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the gods in the hall changed and they immediately looked towards the high seats.

Sure enough, the Jade Emperor's face turned dark.

A terrifying majesty spread throughout the Lingxiao Palace, and the entire heaven seemed to be trembling.

The sky then began to flash with lightning and thunder...What did Manjusri mean by this?
He was clearly indicating that the Jade Emperor Daozu had already ordered the saints to leave the Three Realms.

The Three Realms are now ruled by these people. Even though Chen Chu has a great background, he is just a sage who is used to create obstacles, not the sage himself...

Not to mention that the saint himself was imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace to reflect on his mistakes.

Sooner or later, they will figure it out.

This...is correct from Manjusri's perspective.

But in front of the Jade Emperor...

"Manjusri, you are so brave!"

Containing infinite rage, the terrifying power of the rules of heaven and earth also manifested itself and fell on Manjusri, causing his body to tremble violently.

Beads of cold sweat oozed out and fell down his body one by one.

Just when Manjusri was about to give up and his legs were about to fall to his knees due to soreness.

"Amitabha!"

A voice no less powerful than that of the Jade Emperor resounded throughout the Lingxiao Palace.

A golden light materialized and condensed into the Tathagata Buddha.

"Buddha!"

Manjusri quickly looked over for help.

All the gods present also bowed slightly and saluted Tathagata.

Tathagata withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace. At this moment, the pressure on Manjusri suddenly subsided, and he turned towards the ten-foot-tall Haotian with an attitude of Buddha's light shining everywhere.

"Calm down, Heavenly Lord! Although Manjusri Bodhisattva's words were blunt and offensive, they were also true!"

He organized his words and spoke slowly, "Among the countless sentient beings in the Three Realms, only those who abandon their emotions and desires and escape from the mundane world can enter the righteous immortal gate, attain the unity of the primordial energy, and achieve the title of supreme god..."

"Although the Taoist Master Taichu has achieved the true fruit, he is still young and has not yet understood the great Dao. His seven emotions and six desires continue, his obsessions are too deep, and he is obsessed with the mundane world. If he does not achieve great enlightenment, he will surely endanger the three realms."

The atmosphere in the hall fell silent. Although the gods who had secretly regarded Chen Chu as one of their own wanted to refute, they had to admit that what the former senior brother said was right...

Immortal martial arts will surely rise in the future, and as the master of this art, it is only a matter of time before Chen Chu rises to prominence.

But his character...

As immortal gods, they are well aware of the poison of obsession and the seven emotions.

If Chen Churuo cannot comprehend it fully, once the Immortal Martial Arts is confirmed, then with him as the leader, it will surely bring a brand new trend to the Three Realms.

I wonder where this trend will lead in the future.

But there are precedents of people who have been deified before...

"Hmph!" The Jade Emperor's expression changed. He sneered, put away his momentum, and slowly spoke, "Then according to what the Buddha sees, what should we do?!"

Tathagata paused and said silently: "In the next era, the way of immortal martial arts will rise. This is destiny."

Well, the underlying meaning is that the way of immortal martial arts is not allowed to be spread, and this era is the protagonist of their Buddhist sect.

As for Chen Chu...

Tathagata’s meaning is very clear!
If he progresses too fast, it will easily subvert the Three Realms, so he must start over and comprehend the great Dao.

This... The faces of the gods from the Jiejiao sect were all filled with indignation, and they wanted to stand up and speak, but at this moment, Buddha Tathagata added another sentence.

"However, God is merciful and we should give him a chance!"

"If he can wake up, then we can still show mercy and let him go."

Tathagata raised his palm and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor's eyes trembled, and he immediately understood what Tathagata meant.

fair play……

Whoever can defeat Chen Chu will become the protagonist of the next era.

This immediately aroused the interest of the Jade Emperor.

The ancient world should be the same as other worlds, consisting of the three paths of heaven, earth and man.

But under the leadership of Hongjun and Haotian, the sky suppressed the other two and became the master of the three realms. The real majesty of the world is the great celestial master...

But it was accomplished. After being deified, all the gods were in his hands.

The saint was also driven out of the Three Realms, so logically he should be the only one in power.

As a result, there was another Buddhist monk suffering from scabies in the family.

This Buddhist sect steals his heavenly fortune and incense every day.

Who can bear this?

But the will of heaven has determined that Buddhism will flourish today.

Now that Tathagata had spoken, the Jade Emperor glanced at everyone present and thought that what Manjusri said was right, and this might be an opportunity for him to completely rule the Three Realms.

As for whether or not to lose...

We are all family here, how can we lose?
The Jade Emperor made a prompt decision, "Okay, then let's follow what the Buddha said!"

Tathagata raised his palm, bowed with Manjusri, and prepared to leave the Lingxiao Palace and go to Lingshan to start the next task of "capturing Taichu Daozun"!
But at this moment...

"and many more……"

A clear voice called out to the two of them.

Tathagata and Manjusri looked and saw Qiongxiao standing behind Yunxiao.

At this moment, she held her head high and said, "Where is the Dinghai Divine Pearl that we promised you?"

"you……"

Wenshu was stunned and angry. "The formation has not been broken, where is the Dinghai Divine Pearl?"

"Humph, I don't care!" Qiong Xiao crossed his arms and said, "When my three sisters were in the lower world, you said that you would return the pearl as long as we took action!"

"Although the three of us have not yet broken the formation, we will go as you invited."

"you……"

"Manjusri!"

Manjusri was furious, but was interrupted before he could say anything.

Tathagata slowly spoke: "Monks do not tell lies, so what you have said is true!"

He stretched out his hand towards the void, and it seemed as if he had penetrated the infinite space. The next moment, a mysterious orb emitting several colors appeared in his hand...

Then he threw the orb to Qiong Xiao.

This bead is extremely powerful. Qiong Xiao did not dare to be careless and hurriedly used his magic power to hold it back.

Fortunately, Tathagata did not want to attack, and Qiong Xiao managed to catch him after some effort.

"Why is there only one?"

Manjusri smiled and said, "I never said I would give you everything!"

After he finished speaking, he and Tathagata turned around and instantly turned into a golden light and left.

"Damn it!" She wondered why the Buddhist sect agreed so readily. Holding the Dinghai Divine Pearl, Qiong Xiao was filled with resentment, "What's the use of one!"

Everyone knows that there are twenty-four Dinghai Shenzhen beads in a string, which can be used for sneak attacks or to hit people.

This one... can only be used as a decoration!
Qiong Xiao was indignant. If it wasn't so precious, she would have thrown it away.

Yunxiao watched from the side and said, "Okay, even one is good!"

In her opinion, the Buddhists would probably not fulfill this favor.

Qiong Xiao also knew this, so he didn't throw it away but kept it carefully.

Sun Wukong was watching all this from the sidelines and couldn't hold back any longer. He jumped out and said, "Master Jade Emperor, hey, what should I do now that things have come to this?"

He looked like he had lost his dream, his words were full of bitterness, and he seemed to be at a loss.

The Jade Emperor and Tathagata were both helpless against each other, and I...

His words attracted the gazes of the gods who were in a bad mood, and after a moment there was a burst of hearty laughter.

"Ha ha!"

Sun Wukong ignored him and simply gave up on himself and started fighting.

This pleases the gods even more!
The Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing and others couldn't help but smile.

However, although Taibai Jinxing smiled, he was also thinking of a solution for Sun Wukong.

His eyes moved, and he came over with his dustpan in small steps, crouched down, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Great Sage, how did you do that when the ginseng fruit tree in Wuzhuang Temple was knocked down?"

"This……"

Sun Wukong choked and instantly understood the true meaning.

"No, no, I've been there once before!"

He shook his head like a rattle and dismissed the idea without even thinking about it.

But Taibai Jinxing kept persuading him, "Great Sage, Great Sage," and whispered with deep meaning and seriousness: "Now he is the only one who can save you!"

"I... sigh!"

Sun Wukong opened his mouth, not knowing how to refuse Taibai Jinxing's words. In the end, he could only sigh, bowed to Taibai, and turned away with a heavy heart.
