The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 197 The Taste of Destiny

However, Sun Wukong also knew that this was probably related to the contradiction within the Way of Heaven itself.

Although the Taoist Ancestor is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, the Way of Heaven is not the Taoist Ancestor, so there is more than one God.

In the previous time and space, when Yuanshi Tianzun was about to transform into a god, the Heavenly Dao sent down two contradictory decrees. This was the reason.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi, Taibai Jinxing and Sha Seng saw that this man of destiny sometimes scratched his face in thought, sometimes sneered, and they were all in a trance.

Because his expression and behavior are so similar to those of the Monkey King back then!

"Things have changed and people have changed." Zhen Yuanzi suddenly sighed, then bowed earnestly to Sun Wukong and said, "I haven't thanked you, the man of destiny, for helping me escape disaster and saving my ginseng fruit tree.

The road to resurrecting the Great Sage is not easy, and there will probably be many hardships in the future.

I should have helped, but now I have to continue suppressing the resurgence of the demonic path. I hope you don't mind."

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "No wonder."

Zhen Yuanzi then nodded.

Yun Zhongzi added, "I have nothing to do in Zhongnan Mountain, so I might as well stay at Wuzhuang Monastery and help suppress the demonic disaster with my fellow Taoists."

Zhen Yuanzi's face smiled even more: "Good, very good!"

Afterwards, Taibai Jinxing also said, "I will return to Heaven and report today's events to the Emperor of Heaven. I'll see if I can help you."

Zhen Yuanzi said, "I know the Emperor of Heaven has a difficult life, so I don't expect him to do anything. However, if he can protect the man destined by heaven and bring Wukong back to life sooner, he will be worthy of the title of Emperor of Heaven."

Taibai Jinxing saluted and said, "I will report the truth to Your Majesty!"

But before he could leave, Sun Wukong suddenly said to Sha Seng, "Wu Jing, I have to walk the rest of the way alone. Do you want to return to the Flowing Sand River? Or do you want to return to Heaven with Taibai Jinxing and work for the Emperor of Heaven?"

Sha Seng was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised. Returning to heaven to be an official was his lifelong wish!

But despite his surprise, he still said shyly, "Brother Monkey, how can I be at ease if you travel west alone..."

"Oh, in that case, let's go together." Sun Wukong sneered.

"Aha...ha..." Sha Seng couldn't laugh anymore.

"You talk too much nonsense. Go away, go away!" Sun Wukong angrily drove him away.

Taibai Jinxing smiled and bowed again before leaving.

Finally, Sun Wukong bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Zhongzi and said, "See you later, both of you."

After saying this, he continued to ride westward on the cloud.

"It's extraordinary!" Yun Zhongzi praised.

"Like the Monkey King back then, but less aggressive and more steady and cautious," Zhen Yuanzi said with emotion.

The two watched the colorful cloud disappear, and then sat on the ground under the ginseng fruit tree, playing chess while using this innate spiritual root to suppress the power of the devil.

……

On the other hand, after leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Sun Wukong also took the time to settle the tasks he had completed before: [stealing ginseng fruit], [cutting off the grass to make elixir], and [revitalizing the ginseng fruit tree].

The difficulty of completing these three tasks was not low, and after the completion, his law realm was greatly improved.

Especially the stick method, which broke through to the seventh level of Hunyuan Jinxian stage.

Correspondingly, his Hunyuan Dao Fruit and Hunyuan Dao Body were strengthened and improved, and he finally entered the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal!

Although he just barely made it, his strength had undergone a significant transformation!

"Hey, Old Sun is a Primordial Golden Immortal who has attained enlightenment through the laws of nature. Compared to Zhen Yuanzi and other long-established Three Corpse Quasi-Sages, I shouldn't be much different, right?"

Sun Wukong was happy and expectant at the same time.

If he continues like this, maybe he won't have to complete the journey to obtain scriptures before he can reach the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, or even perfection!
By then, even if he faced saints of great merit like the Six Saints of Heaven, he would have the confidence to fight!
There is also another reward worth mentioning this time, that is the innate spiritual root ginseng fruit tree!
So far, he has obtained three of the ten innate spiritual roots: the peach spiritual root, the bitter bamboo, and the ginseng fruit tree!
"To me, they are all useless," Sun Wukong thought to himself.

The last time and space was when the spiritual energy was exhausted.

Not only is the spiritual essence of this time and space exhausted, but there is also a revival of the demonic path, and there is no environment for the growth of innate spiritual roots.

"It's better than nothing. I can use it to scare them in the future." Sun Wukong chuckled again.

Then, continue traveling west, and the next stop is Baihu Ridge, where you encountered the White Bone Demon.

……

In a bloody world, there is a black palace standing at the end of the earth.

At this moment, above the hall, a man in black with loose hair was sitting quietly cross-legged on a black lotus platform.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and chuckled, "I have smelled the scent of fate. After five hundred years, the destiny that was altered has finally returned.

But I don't believe in fate. Who says I can only rule the Three Realms for thirty-three days?"

……

At the same time, after Taibai Jinxing returned to heaven, he immediately reported to the Jade Emperor everything that had happened in Wuzhuang Temple.

"Is Yun Zhongzi the reincarnation of Hong Yun? Did Tianmingren use this to awaken Zhen Yuanzi?"

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was immediately shocked and remained silent for a long time.

After calming down a little, he also realized that this matter was of extraordinary significance and was enough to affect the current situation in the three realms.

"This is good news. Maybe the opportunity I have been waiting for for many years will come soon." The Jade Emperor smiled again.

"Your Majesty, we still haven't figured out the identities of that monk and Taoist priest," Taibai Jinxing said hurriedly. "First, there was the Fantian Seal, then there was the Three Lights Divine Water. I'm worried they're disciples of the Yuxu Sect..."

"What are you worried about? Now is not the time to hesitate!" The Jade Emperor's eyes were firm. "This is my only chance. If I miss it, then my title of Heavenly Emperor will be in name only."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Taibai Jinxing said again, and finally did not forget to report that he had ordered people to let Sha Seng return to heaven tomorrow.

There were stars in the Jade Emperor's eyes, and he suddenly sighed: "What a pity, it's six hundred years too late. Well, let him stay in the Heavenly Palace and be the General of Curtain Rolling."

Then Sha Seng came in and bowed excitedly.

Taibai Jinxing sighed, saying that it was indeed six hundred years too late.

If the Great Sage had been able to bring his fellow disciples back to Heaven to work after obtaining the scriptures, the ending might have been different from what it was five hundred years ago.

……

Lingshan, the rear hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.

After hearing Guanyin's report, Buddha Tathagata was also surprised.

He also didn't expect that the incident at Wuzhuang Temple would end up like this.

But after being surprised, the Buddhist master slowly said: "This is a good thing. Since Mara escaped from the trap, he has been waiting for an opportunity to act.

With Zhen Yuanzi awake and the ginseng fruit tree returning to its roots, they will surely suppress more demonic forces and buy us more time."

Guanyin was still worried: "Buddha, even so, how should we respond to Zhen Yuanzi's warning...reminder?"

The Tathagata Buddha smiled and said, "It's alright, he means well, and now things have turned around."

Guanyin raised her hand and said, "Excellent! Buddha, are you talking about White Tiger Ridge?"

The Tathagata Buddha nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Now go and enlighten that person."
