Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 230 Laozi: Those who learn from me will live; those who resemble me will be invincible!
Zhang Tian had his men clean up the shattered God of Wealth Temple, and soon the master craftsman Lu Ban would lead a multitude of heavenly soldiers to rebuild it.

"Even emperors rarely get such a free opportunity to renovate a palace. The God of Wealth should act like the God of Wealth, but that old God of Wealth has such incredibly tacky tastes, actually opting for a festive red..."

"God of Wealth!"

"It has to be gold!"

Zhang Tian happily kept the design drawings and then took the opportunity to slip away, since his workplace had been bombed and he had nowhere to work.

"That's enough, let's all go home."

Zhang Tian then dismissed his men.

He used a five-colored divine light escape technique to return directly to the Tushita Palace.

He comes back too often.

Even the two horns, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who opened the door, were completely bewildered. "Young Master, didn't you go to take up your post at the God of Wealth's Office? You just left a few days ago, why are you back again?"

Although Zhang Tian is the God of Wealth.

It's not far from Lihentian.

It's like marrying into the neighbor's family.

You can't just run back every time you eat, not only to eat but also to skim off the top. Wouldn't that be a waste of your marriage?
Zhang Tianle chuckled, "There's nothing I can do, they gave me too much!"

The Buddha Wutian was very generous.

A supreme and true scripture.

However, Zhang Tian remained cautious and dared not begin cultivation directly. Instead, he came to ask his master, Laozi, for his opinion.

He explained the whole story to the other party in front of them, and then revealed the entire "New Wordless True Scripture" taught by the Buddha Wutian.

Immediately, Laozi's lips twitched.

After a long pause, he finally commented, "Not bad, not bad. That little guy has a deep understanding of the Dao. His comprehension is truly remarkable. The cultivation technique he created is already three or four levels above mine."

This is extremely high praise.

After all, even when Zhang Tian simplified the Tao Te Ching with his cheat code, he was only given a few pointers and a couple of good comments by the old man. He probably had about one percent of the ability.
This shows how terrifying 30-40% is!
Zhang Tian was amazed. Before he could even sigh with excitement, Laozi took out a book from his sleeve. He didn't know the title of the book, but Laozi told him to open it and take a look.

Upon closer inspection, he felt a sense of familiarity, and after a few words, he was stunned. "Hey! Isn't this the same as that book? With all the deletions and alterations, can this really be considered a new cultivation method?"

Innovation master? x.

A Frankenstein's monster! √

Zhang Tian was indignant, but Laozi was not angry. "Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will..."

"die?"

"Invincible!"

Zhang Tian: …

Zhang Tian: Okay, Master is awesome!
He looked at Laozi, whose lips were upturned in a smug smile, and suddenly remembered a joke from his past life. Someone was practicing the art of summoning gods and could borrow the power of his ancestors. He was very proud of himself, saying, "My ancestors included an emperor!"
Emperor? Who didn't have a powerful ancestor?

What? The Jade Emperor! That's awesome!
Laozi is just as awesome. You don't need anyone to surpass him. If you have even a tenth or twentyth of his power, you're already an extraordinary figure in the entire Three Realms.

Seeing that Laozi did not stop him from practicing this secret technique, Zhang Tian knew that there were no hidden dangers in this supernatural power, and happily went to practice it.

Should the new *wordless true scripture* be simplified?

"Yes!"

He is burying himself in his studies here.

Meanwhile, in the human realm...

The monkey had rejoined the pilgrimage team, leaving everything to the 'Six-Eared Macaque'. The grudges between master and disciple immediately vanished. Riding on the back of the Howling Celestial Dog, he continued his journey westward.

They walked for an unknown distance.

We've arrived at another strange place.

It boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, countless fruit trees, and various cattle and sheep in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuanzang excitedly said to his disciples, "This place is beautiful with clear waters and lush mountains, abundant fruit trees, and cattle and sheep everywhere. It is clearly a place of outstanding beauty. Could it be that we have arrived at the foot of the legendary sacred mountain?"

The monkey laughed loudly, "I, Old Sun, have been to Mount Ling countless times, so I know it well. Foolish talk, foolish talk, I'm afraid you haven't even reached halfway there yet." Chen Xuanzang was somewhat disappointed.

But he also said confidently, "Although this place is not Mount Ling, it is a treasure land with such beautiful scenery. Wukong, go ahead and scout it out. It seems that this is not a place where monsters live, but a place where immortals practice. Once you find out its name, allow me to go and pay a visit."

He was a believer in gods and Buddhas.

No matter which deity you encounter on the road.

They must all worship with sincerity.

If he had been born a little later, he would have found a temple dedicated to his third disciple, Lingyao. He would probably have paid his respects there, but I wonder how Lingyao would have felt.

Lord Guan, above me! I, Guan Yu, Liu Bei... um?

The monkey laughed.

He immediately rode off on his somersault cloud.

But she quickly ran back and said, “Master, Master, this is not a good place. It looks like a place with monsters, which must be very dangerous. Let’s avoid it and avoid trouble.”

As soon as these words came out.

Chen Xuanzang thought it made perfect sense. After all, monks don't fight and kill. He was going to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures, not to perform rituals to save sentient beings and bury the dead in the heavens and the earth like Tang Sanzang.

So turning around means taking a detour.

This immediately angered Lingyao, who was a fearless person with a temper no less than that of the monkey. Although he had not yet been reincarnated as the Horse King, he still had almost all of that temperament.

Upon hearing that he had to avoid demons, he immediately bristled and glared, "What? A mere demon, and you want me to avoid him!"

I've been annoyed by the monkeys for a long time.

He immediately tried to take credit from Chen Xuanzang, saying, "Master, please wait here. I'll go and take a look first, kill that monster, and rid the surrounding people of a monstrous creature!"

The monkey remained silent.

He just kept chuckling to himself.

It was because he looked into the distance and recognized the monster in front of him as none other than the mountain of his sworn brother, the Bull Demon King, from Flower Fruit Mountain.

The two had a very good relationship.

He naturally had to give his elder brother face, but since Lingyao was willing to suffer, Monkey was naturally delighted.

Lingyao wasn't stupid either.

Riding away on the clouds.

He thought to himself, "That monkey has never been afraid of monsters before, so why is it acting like this today? Could there be a trick involved? Hmm... let me use a transformation spell to investigate first..."

He turned into a fly.

It flew through the air for a bit.

As a result, they saw that the mountains stretched for thousands of miles, and there were countless monsters, large and small, patrolling there.

Before he could get a good look, the demons spotted him and started shouting, "Sun Wukong is here! Sun Wukong is here!"

A net stretched wide and inescapable.

Lingyao was completely bewildered, unaware of where he had slipped up. He ran around, and with a gust of wind, he blended into the demon horde. He secretly thought to himself, "I bet these little demons are too stupid to find me."

Then they heard the little demons shouting, "That monkey must have turned into a little demon, must have turned into a little demon! Quickly, recite the password! Quickly, recite the password!"

Lingyao: ?
He was so frightened that he ran away.

He moved with incredible speed, and seeing that no one was around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily, "I laugh at that little demon's lack of strategy and the demon king's lack of ambition. No matter how careful he is, he can't catch up with my flying supernatural power. If it were here..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet.

Then there was a roar.

Red Boy, Princess Iron Fan, and the Bull Demon King surrounded him, cutting off all his escape routes. The place was fraught with danger!
They were practically eyeing it covetously.

Oh no! He fell for the trap!

Lingyao: ...
