Chapter 221 To Lingshan

Seeing the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord being trampled to death, Zi Zhu'er and the Zhu sisters were shocked.

They didn't expect that this man of destiny would be so powerful.

Afterwards, they felt both relieved and frightened.

At the beginning, they actually dared to attack the Man of Destiny. Fortunately, the other party was magnanimous and did not take it to heart, otherwise they might have ended up like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Zhu Bajie, who was standing aside, was not surprised at all, because he had already witnessed the power of the Man of Destiny in Xiao Xitian.

Even Yang Jian was defeated with a stick, so what about the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord?
[Congratulations on completing the mission: Fighting the Master of Huanghua Temple. Do you want to proceed with the mission settlement?]

At the same time, the system's voice also sounded in Sun Wukong's mind.

But he ignored it and looked down the mountain again.

A woman in red with a snake-like neck came to the outside of Huanghua Temple. She was also shocked at the scene in front of her.

At this time, Zhu Bajie asked, "Winged Fire Snake? Why did you come down to the mortal world instead of staying in Heaven?"

The woman in red was none other than the Winged Fire Snake, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions. She quickly explained, “I am acquainted with the Bodhisattva Vimala, and have watched the Pleiades grow up since childhood.

Back then, both mother and son were robbed one after another. I couldn't save them, so I could only stay here and wait for someone who could save them."

Having said this, she bowed respectfully to Sun Wukong and said, “Many people with destiny have come here before, but none of them had the ability to save people.

You are different from the people of destiny in previous generations. Please save Vimala and his mother.

This great favor will be forever remembered by the Lishan clan."

You were no match for the Huanghua Monastery Master's magical powers and fled in defeat. On the way, you encountered the Lishan Old Mother, who instructed you and revealed that the monster was the Hundred-Eyed Demon King. There was a Bodhisattva named Vimala in Ziyun Mountain who could subdue the monster.

[Obtained quest: Ask for help from Vimala (You need to ask Vimala Bodhisattva to subdue the demon)]

Sun Wukong heard the system's voice and nodded: "Don't worry, I came to Ziyun Mountain to rescue them."

Of course, even if there was no system task, he would go to rescue.

Because the star official of the Pleiades was robbed in the beginning, it was precisely because he was on good terms with the Great Sage of this time and space that he was retaliated by the Queen Mother of the West.

When the Winged Fire Snake heard this, it felt relieved and at the same time extremely surprised.

Afterwards, she led the way and they found the Pleiades star official who had turned into the Dark Moon Demon Lord, and the Bodhisattva Vimala who had his arms cut off and turned into a monster.

With Sun Wukong's current strength, and the Three Lights Divine Water, which is comparable to a healing treasure, he finally cured the mother and son.

Naturally, all the old friends were delighted to see each other, and they held a banquet at Ziyun Mountain to celebrate.

After they had drunk enough, Zhu Bajie said, "Brother Monkey, you have gathered all six senses. Now is the time to return to Flower-Fruit Mountain, right?"

Everyone also looked over.

"No hurry, the journey to obtain the scriptures is not yet complete." Sun Wukong put down his wine glass. "But you, right now, have an important matter to attend to."

"Me, important matter?" Zhu Bajie was a little surprised.

"It's a problem with Gao Village. I passed by there before..." Sun Wukong recounted the situation in Gao Village.

"Damn it! Emperor Donghua, Fu Lu Shou!" Zhu Bajie was unusually furious. "I will kill you all!"

"Killing them is easy," said Sun Wukong. "Now we must first use your blood to break the curse of Gao Village."

Zhu Bajie suppressed his anger and nodded. Naturally, he was not in the mood to eat anymore. He said goodbye to everyone and went to Gao Village.

Sun Wukong instructed Vimala and others to recruit their old subordinates in Ziyun Mountain and wait for their orders.

Everyone was now very convinced of him and agreed.

After making these arrangements, Sun Wukong left Ziyun Mountain and continued his journey west.

The reason why he did not immediately return to Huaguo Mountain to truly revive the Great Sage of this time and space.

First of all, he is the Monkey King and does not need to be resurrected.

If you really think about it, the Great Sage of this time and space has actually become one with him.

Secondly, continuing his journey westward allowed him to further improve his strength.

Because it is obvious that once he takes what everyone thinks is the final step, all the immortals and Buddhas who have their own ulterior motives, as well as the evil sects who have other plans, will reveal their true intentions.

It is still unknown what is hidden behind the evil cult.

But behind those immortals and Buddhas, there must be saints.

Therefore, he must improve more to be safe and take the initiative.

Next, Sun Wukong settled the three tasks he had completed previously, including [Subduing the Spider Spirit], [Fighting with the Master of Huanghua Temple], and [Asking for help from Vimala].

After the mission rewards were distributed, he immediately became happy.

Because this time, both the stick law and the arrow law have reached the perfect realm of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal stage!

"Hey, hey, good, good!"

The Great Sage was extremely excited.

After his Hunyuan Dao Body was perfected, he was no longer afraid of the Saint of Merit.

Now the Hunyuan Dao Fruit is also complete, and the double laws are complete!

"A saint of great merit?" There was a gleam of light in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he felt a great sense of heroism in his heart.

Defeating the Meritorious Saint is definitely a piece of cake.

I just don't know if he can defeat the saint who has attained enlightenment through the Three Corpses.

He now knows that since the creation of the world, only the Taoist ancestor Hongjun has become a saint by beheading the three corpses.

As for the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian who has attained enlightenment through the laws, there is no need to even think about it. He is definitely no match for the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian because he is one major realm away from the enemy.

"If I can achieve enlightenment and become a saint during the next journey to the West..." Sun Wukong had some expectations, but he did not have much confidence.

After all, it is too difficult to achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!

……

At the same time, the people from the three realms who had been paying close attention to Tianming's journey became puzzled when they saw that Tianming did not return to Huaguo Mountain but continued to travel west.

Heavenly Palace, Tongming Hall of Miluo Palace.

The stars in the Jade Emperor's eyes dissipated, and he withdrew his gaze from the lower world. He drummed his hands on the imperial table and pondered, "Continue to travel west?"

Taibai Jinxing next to him was confused and didn't understand what the Emperor of Heaven was talking about.

At this time, the Jade Emperor sighed with some reluctance: "But no matter what, everything is finally coming to an end."

Taibai Jinxing now understood and carefully consoled him, "Your Majesty, even in the new era, no one can change your status as the Heavenly Emperor."

"What's the point of being the Heavenly Emperor?" The Jade Emperor shook his head. "The real power lies in the hands of the saints. In the hands of the Dao Ancestor, I am just a puppet.

If I had a choice, I would rather fight like Sun Wukong than be a puppet."

Taibai Jinxing's expression changed drastically: "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!"

The Jade Emperor sneered and said, "At this point, what else do you need to worry about?"

Taibai Jinxing was terrified and even more worried about His Majesty's future situation.

As mentioned just now, although the Emperor of Heaven has recently regained a lot of power with the help of the monk and the Taoist priest, the real power lies in the hands of those more powerful beings.

……

On the other side, Antarctic Palace.

The Immortal of the South Pole was also wondering why the man destined by heaven would continue his journey westward.

But after a moment's thought, he found nothing and stopped thinking about it. "Hmph, it's just a little longer life." He snorted coldly, and his heart began to look forward to it again. "Once that monkey is resurrected, my Chan Sect can start to establish a new Shinto system.

By then, the problem of spiritual essence depletion will be solved, and our Chan Sect will return to its former peak, making all parties fear us!"

Thinking of this, he looked towards the west again: "But before that, we must first settle accounts with those dark entities."

……

Lingshan, Daleiyin Temple.

The Tathagata Buddha sits high on the nine-petal golden lotus platform.

However, the eyes of the monks below were mostly on Vairocana Buddha.

Although Vairocana Tathagata has long been the Buddha of Buddhism, he rarely appears in the Great Leiyin Temple.

Seeing him here today, many great monks guessed something.

As expected, the Tathagata Buddha slowly said, "From today onwards, the Tantric school, along with the Three Treatises, Consciousness-Only, Tiantai, Huayan, Chan, Pure Land, and Vinaya schools, will be recognized as the eight major schools of Mahayana Buddhism.

I hope all monks will practice diligently, take the great Dharma as their own responsibility, and help us spread Mahayana Buddhism throughout the heavens and all realms as soon as possible."

"Amitabha, well done, well done." The monks chanted the Buddha's name in unison with pious expressions.

Although Vairocana Tathagata also recited along, his mood was very complicated.

He was a true Buddha. He first became a follower of Namo Shengwang Buddha from the lineage of the past Buddha, and then was ordered to infiltrate the demon sect.

But the Demon Cult secretly assisted him and helped him regain his foothold in Buddhism.

Now he has become the leader of a Mahayana Buddhist sect!
"It's almost time. The Destined One has gathered all six roots. Everything will come to an end. Who will be the winner in the end?"

Vairocana Tathagata was thinking in his heart, but the face of the Monkey King was always in his mind.

Afterwards, the Buddha came to the back hall of the Great Leiyin Temple. He was followed by Bodhisattvas such as Guanyin, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Mahasthamaprapta, and the two venerables Kashyapa and Ananda. The Vairocana Buddha did not come with him.

After the Tathagata Buddha took his seat, Kasyapa asked, "Buddha, isn't it too much of an honor to directly establish Tantra as one of the eight great Mahayana schools?"

Ananda echoed, "Yes, Mahavairocana Tathagata is at best a past Buddha, and he made few contributions to Buddhism. What virtue and ability does he possess?"

The Tathagata Buddha chuckled and said, "You two haven't read the Mahavairocana Sutra, the Vajra Peak Sutra, and the Susiddhi Sutra?"

Kasyapa and Ananda looked at each other, then lowered their heads in shame.

The Tathagata Buddha smiled again and said, "In any case, the Tantric school has this qualification. If I pass away in the future, the Tantric school will become one of the most important sects in our Buddhist community, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the vast Dharma."

Everyone's expressions changed.

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked solemnly, "Buddha, why are you here?"

The Tathagata Buddha said calmly: "This is fate, what can we do?"

Guanyin hesitated for a moment, then added, "But didn't the Buddha say that everything has a glimmer of hope?"

The Tathagata Buddha smiled and said, "There is a change now, but whether it is a ray of hope is still hard to say."

Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and others fell into silence.

Of course they knew who the Buddha was talking about.

Yes, the person of destiny in this generation is the biggest variable, but just like Sun Wukong back then, he has no heart towards Buddhism.

……

In the bloody world, the black palace still stands at the end of the earth.

At this moment, there was only Buddha Wu Tian in the hall.

He stood there alone, looking down at the dragon blood arrow in his hand.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sneered, "So, all the work we did before was in vain?"

"Ha, destiny can change at any time. What kind of destiny is this?"

"If you want to take something, you must first give it. You want me to be a lackey of heaven?"

By the end of his speech, his face had become ferocious, but his eyes were even deeper, as if hiding a whole world.

……

As time passed, Sun Wukong continued his journey westward under the attention of all parties in the three realms.

At Lion Camel Ridge, he killed the blue lion, the white elephant, and the big roc.

In the Kingdom of Children, he not only killed the God of Longevity, but also took Bajie with him to settle accounts with the God of Fortune and the God of Wealth.

In the bottomless cave, he killed Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, which made Nezha happy for a long time and he vowed to follow the man of destiny.

Later, they passed through Miefa Kingdom, Yinwu Mountain, Fengxian County, Yuhua Prefecture, Xuanying Cave, Tianzhu Kingdom, Tongtai Prefecture and other places.

The tasks in some places could not be completed, but in most other places there were people who came to cooperate.

Of course, even if there was no one there, he would still drag them over.

And through this journey westward, with the rewards from various system tasks, although his cultivation did not break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian realm, his strength still improved to a certain extent.

Finally, he came to Lingshan.

At this moment, Sun Wukong stood on the clouds, overlooking the Buddhist holy land below with infinite Buddha light, and couldn't help feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.

In his past experiences, Lingshan is definitely an important place.

From guarding his master on the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, to becoming the Fighting Buddha, and finally giving up the Fighting Buddha.

Scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

"Let's put an end to this today!"

Just as I was thinking about it, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

[You finally escorted Master Tripitaka to the Great Leiyin Temple on Mount Lingshan. After paying homage to the Tathagata Buddha, you followed the two venerables, Kashyapa and Ananda, to the treasure pavilion to obtain the true scriptures.

But what you didn't expect was that these two venerables actually asked you for personnel, otherwise they would not teach the sutra.

[Obtain the quest: Pass on the Scriptures with bare hands (You need to obtain the true scriptures from the Lingshan Treasure Pavilion)]

"Interesting, I was just worrying about it for no reason." Sun Wukong chuckled, then pressed the cloud and arrived in front of the Great Leiyin Temple.

"The man of destiny has arrived!" The monk who was offering sacrifices outside the main hall was shocked and hurriedly reported loudly.

Of course, the Buddha and the monks in the hall also discovered it.

Looking for the source of the sound, I saw a familiar figure wearing simple clothes, jumping into the main hall in three or two steps.

When Sun Wukong came in, he looked around first.

Inside this hall, the Tathagata Buddha was still sitting high above.

Below are eight Bodhisattvas, four Vajras, five hundred Arhats, three thousand Jieti, eleven great stars, eighteen monastics and other monks, arranged on both sides.

Then, he directly said to the Buddha Tathagata: "Tathagata, I have come to seek the scriptures. Do you have any true scriptures for me?"

The monks looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this destined man serious?

The Tathagata Buddha seemed to have been prepared for this. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes. Kasyapa and Ananda, you two go to the Kaibao Pavilion and ask him to fetch the scriptures."

Kasyapa and Ananda looked at each other, and both felt nervous.

After all, what the two of them heard most recently was how cruel the Man of Destiny was.

But the Buddha's decree had already been issued, and they dared not disobey, so they could only go ahead to lead the way.

Sun Wukong looked around the hall again, but he didn't know how many of these monks could survive to the end?
 I could have spent a week or so writing the story before going to Lingshan, but then I thought it would be too watery, so I might as well just go straight to Lingshan to fight.
