Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 297 Duobao River

Battlefield in Lion Camel Kingdom.

Six soaring auras stood in three opposing directions, constantly raging and churning the sky above this battlefield.

However, at that moment, among the three soaring demonic auras of the lion, elephant, and roc, the aura belonging to the third of the three demons of the Lion Camel Kingdom vanished from the battlefield in an instant.

The yellow-toothed elephant, who was fighting Yang Jian, and the green-haired lion, who was fighting Sun Wukong, both changed their expressions drastically. They were forced back by their attacks and retreated, looking at Niu Yi in the sky.

"Third child!!!"

"You Taoist priest! What have you done to my third brother?!"

Niu Yi ignored the two blustering but cowardly demons below. He glanced at the Chaos Green Gourd at his waist, then transformed into golden light and quickly flew into the gourd.

At the same time, the Chaos Green Gourd vanished into thin air, its whereabouts unknown.

Just as the lion and the old elephant were searching around, the golden cudgel and the three-pointed double-edged spear attacked again.

"Monster! Watch!"

Seeing this, the lion and the old elephant dared not be careless and quickly raised their weapons to parry, engaging in battle with Sun Wukong and Yang Jian once again.

Inside the Chaos Green Gourd, the Golden-Winged Roc looked around at the seemingly endless chaotic energy that obscured his divine sense and vision, his eyes filled with gloom and vigilance.

Although this Taoist priest had not yet attained enlightenment, he was undoubtedly much stronger than when they first met. He had actually suppressed him in terms of power and even produced this gourd that even he himself could not see through.

He himself had a similar treasure, but that wretched monkey drilled a hole in it, rendering it useless!
"This guy"

The Golden-Winged Roc looked around and felt danger coming from all directions, which made him dare not move rashly. He could only try his best to scan with his divine sense while flapping his wings, groping his way forward in the chaotic energy.

"Wow~~"

Suddenly, the Golden-Winged Roc seemed to hear the sound of flowing river water.

"There are rivers inside this gourd. Wait a minute!"

The Golden-Winged Roc's expression suddenly changed drastically. As golden light flashed across his body, the Golden-Winged Roc transformed back into its original form in an instant. With a flap of its wings, its figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

"when!!!"

However, the Golden-Winged Roc hadn't flown very far when it crashed headfirst into a patch of precious light. The light made it see stars and brought it to a halt.

"Wow~~"

The Golden-Winged Roc shook its head, somewhat bewildered, and stared blankly at the precious light blocking its path.

Upon hearing the rushing sound of the river beside him, the Golden-Winged Roc instinctively looked down.

At that moment, a golden river, ten thousand feet wide, suddenly appeared and flowed through the chaotic energy, causing even the chaotic energy itself to give way.

The precious light that blocked his path rose from this precious river, penetrating deep into the chaotic energy, with no end in sight.

The Golden-Winged Roc looked at the precious light before it, its eyes flashing with ferocity. A burst of golden light emanated from its wings, and it suddenly flapped its wings towards the precious light.

One after another, golden feather blades, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, rushed towards the treasure light, smashing into the light screen and splashing ripples.

As the ripples grew larger, the Golden-Winged Roc was about to tear the light barrier apart with a single blow when his expression changed once again.

"boom!!!"

The Golden-Winged Roc's attack seemed to enrage the Golden Light River. As the river suddenly exploded, countless golden and silver swords burst forth from the river, carrying swirling golden waters as they hurtled towards the Golden-Winged Roc!

"Crazy!!!"

The series of unexpected events greatly increased the ferocity in the heart of the Golden-Winged Roc!

That Taoist not only ruined his plans, but also put it into this strange gourd, intending to capture him like a turtle in a jar. This is really going too far!

The Golden-Winged Roc sensed the sharp aura emanating from the Sword River, but it neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, it opened its massive beak, and a terrifying suction force emanated from its mouth.

The river of swords formed by those gold and silver swords rushed into the mouth of the Golden-Winged Roc and disappeared.

A moment later, the entire river of swords was swallowed up. However, the stomach of the Golden-Winged Roc was like a bottomless pit. Once the river of swords entered it, it was as if it had entered another space and disappeared completely.

The Golden-Winged Roc looked at the shrinking golden river water and laughed triumphantly:
"Hahaha~ You bull demon! Don't think you're my match just because you've learned some mystical techniques! In terms of lineage, even Buddha would have to call me uncle! You bull demon, who's only been cultivating for a short time, are far from being my match!"

Niu Yi emerged from the Duobao River and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the majestic Golden-Winged Roc.

"As expected, they're not so easy to deal with."

"However, after all these years of preparation, do you, you thieving bird, think that these are all the tricks I have up my sleeve?"

Niu Yi's body shone with golden light, and a five-thousand-foot-tall divine bull appeared behind him, roaring to the sky.

"Moo—" "Boom—"

As the sound of mooing spread, the Duobao River shone brightly, and bursts of golden light rose up continuously.

Niu Yi formed a hand seal, and the Heavenly Treasure Bottle, shimmering with spiritual light, quickly appeared, from which a stream of blood-yellow bitter water from the Naihe River gushed forth.

At the same time, flames flashed in Niu Yi's eyes, and he opened his mouth, a burst of flames quickly spewing out from his eyes and mouth, merging with the thick smoke gushing from his nostrils, transforming into Samadhi True Fire, which rushed towards the Golden-Winged Roc from the left and right, along with the Naihe Bitter Water!

Seeing the extraordinary nature of the water and fire, the Golden-Winged Roc emitted a burst of golden light, slowing down the rapidly spreading water and fire attack, but still unable to stop its spread.

Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Roc suddenly flapped its wings, and a raging demonic wind swept in, which stopped the fire and water.

Niu Yi's expression remained unchanged, and the hand seals in his hands changed again. With each change of the hand seals in Niu Yi's hands, a magical treasure rose from the Treasure River.

The Magnetic Sword Array, composed of bipolar magnetic forces and numerous gold and silver longswords, rose slowly amidst the roars of dragons and tigers. The Dragon-Tiger Fan shimmered with the radiance of the sun and moon, and the Yin-Yang Steel Halberd gleamed with endless cold light.
With each treasure that appears, the aura of the Treasure River intensifies, and the golden light emanating from it shines even brighter.

Soon, the golden light became so strong that even through the dense chaotic energy, a golden glow emanated from behind and around the Golden-Winged Roc.

Clearly, the Duobao River had long since completely surrounded the Golden-Winged Roc.

Seeing the water and fire recede, the Golden-Winged Roc summoned a demonic wind to envelop its body. However, it noticed that the precious light on the Treasure River was rising and shining brightly, giving rise to an unprecedented sense of threat.

"You old fool! You forced me to do this!"

One of the golden-winged roc's life feathers quietly transformed into golden light and spread out. An infinite demonic aura instantly emanated from the golden-winged roc's body. As the golden light flashed, a huge roc phantom that blotted out the sky quickly appeared behind the golden-winged roc.

Niu Yi's expression turned solemn as he saw the illusory image of the giant roc that occupied almost the entire area besieged by the Duobao River.

At this moment, the five-thousand-foot-tall divine ox behind him was only the size of one of his claws.

This guy is clearly prepared to fight to the death!
"Bah!!!!"

As the roc let out a powerful, penetrating cry, the entire Duobao River rippled slightly in response.

Niu Yi's expression remained unchanged, and the hand seals in his hands changed again. The Hunyuan Furnace silently appeared at the bottom of the Duobao River, transforming into the array base, suppressing the entire Duobao River, and connecting many magical treasures.

At the same time, the roc revealed a fierce look and crashed into Niu Yi. Soon, a golden beam of light shot into the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth!

Outside, within the clouds.

Venus, seeing the Chaos Green Gourd that had begun to tremble slightly before him, also changed his expression slightly.

The Jade Emperor once revealed to him the origins of Guangyi's Chaos Green Gourd, saying it was a rare treasure that was hard to find even after a thousand kalpas in the Three Realms.

He had previously been invited by Guangyi to enter this Chaos Green Gourd and knew that the space inside was virtually limitless.

At this moment, Guangyi and the Golden-Winged Roc had been inside the gourd for a long time, and it was unknown how far they had fought, but the gourd was trembling.

Venus looked down at the gourd from the sky, while the battle in the Lion Camel Kingdom below had already ended.

Under the combined power of Sun Wukong's external incarnations and Yang Jian's ability to manifest the heavens and the earth, the green-haired lion and the yellow-toothed elephant were ultimately no match for these two and both fell into a disadvantageous position.

Fortunately, the Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Samantabhadra appeared in time and stopped Sun Wukong and Yang Jian.

Upon seeing their master arrive, the old demon and the second demon lost all will to fight. They quickly dropped their weapons, bowed deeply, and were taken away by Manjushri and Samantabhadra.

Sun Wukong was not about to let the two leave so easily, so he stepped forward and grabbed them.

"Bodhisattva! You two wicked beasts are causing trouble in the Lion Camel Kingdom, leading a horde of demons to try and devour my master! You must give us an explanation!"

Manjushri and Samantabhadra had no choice but to recount the whole story, and also said that his master and junior brother were safe in the cave but were just worried and scared, and asked him to go and rescue them. Only then did Sun Wukong let the two go.

Sun Wukong descended from the sky, looking at the demons who, realizing the situation was hopeless, were fleeing, along with the Six Sages of Meishan and the three thousand grass-root gods who were pursuing them. He then said to Yang Jian beside him:

"Brother Yang, thank you so much for this. I just wonder how my senior brother is doing."

Yang Jian laughed:

"Brother Wukong, rest assured. Your senior brother is extremely skilled and always acts prudently. He has also put the Golden-Winged Roc into the treasure gourd, so he will definitely not let that thieving bird cause any trouble."

Sun Wukong nodded quickly.

This was also the first time he had seen his senior brother make a move, and he never expected that his move would be the Samadhi True Fire, which was comparable to that of Red Boy, and that he would put the Golden-Winged Roc into the treasure gourd.

Yang Jian only learned that Sun Wukong was his brother Guangyi's junior brother when he arrived with Guangyi. On the one hand, he felt a little sad, and on the other hand, he was curious about which great power could have cultivated two such beings.

And now these two, one has entered the Taoist sect and the other has entered the Buddhist sect, which is truly interesting.

Soon, Sun Wukong rescued Tang Sanzang and his two junior brothers who were bound in the imperial city. Yang Jian also gathered his troops and, ostensibly, led his six brothers and three thousand grass-root gods away from the place, but in reality, he went to find Taibai Jinxing.
