I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 123 The Mosquito Taoist Finally Appears
After Guanyin Bodhisattva left Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, she went further east and could see incense burning brightly in the distance, the blue smoke obscuring her vision.

"Master, we have searched this place thoroughly, and it is a remote and impoverished area. How could there be such a place of worship?"

Even before Huian Xingzhe could speak, Guanyin had already sensed the power of the incense offerings in this place and began to calculate with her fingers.

"The chosen one of destiny, suppressed by the Buddha? Is this the stone monkey? Let's go down and take a look!"

The stone statue of Sun Wukong gleamed with golden light, and the offerings in front of it resembled a small mountain.

"Since he is the chosen one, he is destined to be a disciple of my Buddhist sect. This is the method of my Buddhist sect, and it will never go wrong."

“Sun Wukong, I am Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea. I am here by order of the Buddha to find a person to retrieve the scriptures. I am currently short one person. Would you be willing to join my Buddhist sect? I can help you get rid of your clay body.”

When Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke these words, her words were full of certainty and self-satisfaction.

Even if Sun Wukong is the chosen one, he is currently suppressed under the mountain by the Buddha. Unless the Buddhist sect issues a decree, Sun Wukong can only continue to be a clay figure.

"If we can take this chosen one of destiny, it will be a victory. As long as we lose even one piece, we won't lose out!"

Before Guanyin Bodhisattva's voice had even faded, the stone statue of Sun Wukong suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and his eyes abruptly opened.

"Sun Wukong, the second disciple of Xuantian Sect, has been ordered by his master to break the desire of the Heavenly Being of Other Transformation!"

"how is this possible?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's body radiated a blood-red hue, her hands clasped together in prayer.

"Ethereal and illusory, boundless and limitless, imperceptible to all who gaze upon it."

Guanyin Bodhisattva whispered, and bursts of chanting emanated from her, spreading outwards in all directions.

"The Queen Mother has descended to the mortal realm, do you think I wouldn't be on guard?"

"Hmph! How could a mere illusion withstand my Golden Eyes of Illusion? Break through!"

With a fierce shout from the stone statue of Sun Wukong, terrifying golden light pierced directly through the crimson color. In that instant, Sun Wukong saw the true form of the avatar of the Desire Heaven: a drop of blood.

Under the gaze of the golden light, that drop of blood began to evolve into countless desires, and those within it, upon exchanging a single glance, entered a state of blissful freedom.

He-man-free Heaven!
This day was originally consumed when facing the Ziwei Emperor, but it was only consumed, not destroyed.

Therefore, in addition to the four heavens destroyed by Jin Chanzi, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse, the Six Desire Heavens also contain remnants of the Heaven of Free Transformation. Coincidentally, although Sun Wukong has now turned into a stone statue, his Golden Eyes of Illusion remain unaffected.

"break!"

Sun Wukong roared, his eyes fixed on that single drop of blood.

In an instant, the drop of blood began to evaporate under the watchful eyes of onlookers until it disappeared completely.

call!
Guanyin Bodhisattva exhaled deeply, and the moment she opened her eyes, she looked at Huian Xingzhe: "Huian, put away the blood. There's no need to pay attention to it when there are no outsiders!"

Huian Xingzhe looked at Sun Wukong, who said, "Hmm! This Dharma body of the Desire Realm has been completely destroyed, it's alright!"

Upon hearing this, the bloodshot in Huian Xingzhe's eyes cleared. Guanyin Bodhisattva looked westward, reflecting on her journey. "I haven't found the pilgrim in the East, but I've already traveled the eastward route myself, which has given me much to learn," Guanyin Bodhisattva said with deep emotion.

Yuse Tian was merely a general under the Styx Ancestor, but he forcibly covered their consciousness with the strange flower that the Styx Ancestor had planted for them. If he hadn't flown out of Mount Ling to find the pilgrim, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that as long as she was on Mount Ling, she would likely have had her consciousness covered by Yuse Tian indefinitely.

"Why me!" Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the stone statue of Sun Wukong and asked the question she most wanted to ask.

"Because the Bodhisattva has always been part of Master's plan. Master noticed that koi fish as soon as it left Fangcun Mountain and confirmed that the Styx lineage had corrupted it. Thus, once the Styx Ancestor takes control of Mount Ling, he will definitely send the most capable being to interfere with the Great Tribulation into the world."

Sun Wukong seemed to have known this all along, and continued, "Especially after it was confirmed in recent years that no one else in the Buddhist sect has the means of the Styx lineage, then the Bodhisattva will definitely be the only choice to search for the pilgrim, because that carp must descend to the mortal realm."

"Because it cultivated under the tutelage of Bodhi Patriarch and was then sent to the side of Guanyin Bodhisattva, as long as the Desire Realm controls the Bodhisattva, and as long as the carp spirit descends to the mortal realm under the Bodhisattva's command, the Styx Ancestor is destined to obtain this merit. As long as this merit of the journey to the West is tainted, Buddhism will have no chance of rising again."

"So that's how it is. So when the Queen Mother sent me the carp back then, it was also at your master's behest?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

Sun Wukong's answer brought a greater sense of calm to Guanyin Bodhisattva's face.

"Please continue your journey eastward to find the pilgrim." Sun Wukong withdrew his divine aura, his eyes closed, and his cross-legged meditation posture exuded even more Buddhist charm.

"Let's go! Huian."

Guanyin Bodhisattva no longer hesitated and continued eastward, eventually arriving in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"Such powerful imperial fortune!"

Even Guanyin Bodhisattva was greatly surprised by the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the people living in peace and contentment, Huian Xingzhe whispered, "Master, didn't Buddha say that this place is a land of lust, lewdness, and violence, a place of quarrels and disputes? This doesn't seem like it!"

"Moreover, the emperors here are all people of great fortune. Under such fortune, Taoism flourishes and temples are rare. It is quite difficult to find a person to go on a pilgrimage!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva felt the suppression of the Taoist fortune in this place on her, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"Moreover, after ten reincarnations, Jin Chanzi, who now only has one incarnation left, possesses very little Buddhist aura, which I cannot even sense." Guanyin Bodhisattva finally realized the difficulty of this journey.

"Moreover, even if we find the person to retrieve the scriptures, if we fail to activate the emperor's fortune, the journey to the West will be meaningless, and the journey to the West will not be considered complete."

“Master, but the Tang Dynasty clearly believes in Taoism.”

"Let's find a local temple to stay in first; this matter needs careful consideration."

It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva found a local temple and settled down temporarily, instructing the local earth god to send out people to find the pilgrim, while she and Huian Xingzhe transformed into two ascetic monks and headed towards the palace.

Meanwhile, after Ye Xuantian realized that there might be a problem with the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, he entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty at an extremely fast speed. However, to his disbelief, he could not sense Lu Ya's aura at all.

After Sun Wukong's stone statue completely dispelled the desires of the Heavenly Realm, a demonic aura suddenly surged into the sky from the Golden Mountain on the island. It was a genuine Quasi-Saint at the peak of perfection, and Lu Ya's aura also bloomed at that time.

"It really is Mosquito Daoist!" Ye Xuantian was even faster. He knew that even Lu Ya might not be a match for Mosquito Daoist, especially since Blood River had been dormant for so many years and was probably already a force to be reckoned with.
