My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 662 Mighty King Bodhisattva

The Buddhist sect reacted even faster than expected. Less than half an hour after the people from Tianfu County sent out the message, they received a reply that the other party agreed to meet!
Li Wei quickly pressed on, asking, "Who is the Bodhisattva in charge of leading the monk soldiers this time?"

[Reporting to the Inspector, it is the mighty King Bodhisattva!]

Yang Chan's expression immediately turned serious, and she said with a bitter look, "[It was actually Him. It seems our plan to ambush the Buddhist sect this time will face significant hidden dangers.]"

This was the first time Li Wei had heard of the title "Great Strength King Bodhisattva," so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh? This Bodhisattva is very strong?"

Yang Chan asked deeply, "If we're talking about Dali, who's the first person that comes to mind?"

Ok?
The first person that came to Li Wei's mind was actually Sun Buwu!
As the reincarnation of the Monkey King, he possesses countless law-related attributes, granting him extraordinary and terrifying power.

In terms of pure strength, even some celestial beings probably couldn't compare to him, and Sun Buwu's power came from the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Upon realizing this, Li Wei's expression changed drastically: "You're not going to tell me that the Mighty King Bodhisattva is related to the Great Sage, are you?"

Yang Chan nodded helplessly: "That's right! The title 'Great Strength King' was originally given to that black monkey by the Buddhist sect, as a way to guide him into Buddhism."

However, the Great Sage's rise to power was so rapid that he entered the "Great Realm" unexpectedly, forcing Buddhism to change his title and bestow upon him the title of Fighting God Buddha.

[So, the Great Sage once joined the Buddhist order?]

That's right! After the great calamity of Journey to the West ended, at the end of the Heavenly Dao 5.0 era, that black monkey once cultivated in Buddhism for a period of time as the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

Later, as Buddhism declined, the black monkey unearthed the remains of his fellow disciples and finally seized the opportunity to remove the golden headband from his head, completely embracing the Nine Saints Heretical Path.

This also severely damaged the fortunes of Buddhism, forcing Mount Ling to close for over an era, only recently reopening.

Recalling those darkest times, Yang Chan still felt an overwhelming fear in her eyes.

Although the title of Bodhisattva bestowed upon the Great Mighty King was not officially granted to the black monkey, it is still a war title specifically created by Buddhism for a great calamity!

Whoever receives this title is destined to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of Buddhism and shine brightly during great calamities.

[And if I remember correctly, this generation's Mighty King Bodhisattva seems to be a representative of a radical faction within Buddhism, a notorious warmonger.]

[His strength is probably already comparable to the Four Great Bodhisattvas, and if it were during a great calamity, he might become even stronger.]

Upon hearing this, Li Wei also became more vigilant.

The saying goes, "To resemble you even slightly is to be absolutely stunning." So, if the Mighty King Bodhisattva could resemble the Great Sage Equaling Heaven even slightly, what would that mean?

Do not,
Even if it's just a single point, that's still the mark of a top-tier expert in the world, and we must not be careless in the slightest.

"I'll personally handle this negotiation!"

Yang Chan grabbed Li Wei's hand: "No! It wouldn't be so bad if it were any other Bodhisattva, but the Mighty King Bodhisattva, that black monkey, and my second brother all possess an extremely powerful divine eye."

In your current state, if He sees through your disguise, you will absolutely face certain death.

Li Wei shook his head and said, "That's why I have to go! Otherwise, it would be even harder to fool anyone else."

[But your injuries should need time to heal, right? If you lure people in but your injuries haven't healed, aren't you just handing them a free kill?]

Li Wei laughed heartily:
Don't worry, the flaws in my laws have been healing me for a while now. It's just that the damage is slow because the laws in these wounds are so heavily contaminated.

In three more days, I should be mostly recovered.

Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, feigning surrender is our only chance of victory, and Li Wei must take the risk!

Moreover, with the remains of the Ancestral Dragon and the Soul of the Heavenly Slayer, even a peak Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to kill Him so easily.

So Li Wei took the gamble in this round.

Seeing His resolute expression, Yang Chan finally agreed: "The task of luring the enemy deep into our territory is entrusted to you. I will also begin recruiting soldiers and replacing the gods as soon as possible, and will definitely send someone to Sanjiang Ferry within three days."

[You must stall for time until the very last minute before this happens.] [It's all up to you.]

Li Wei waved his hand and left Guanjiangkou, then met up with the heads of the Zhao, Qian, and Sun families who were in charge of the Sanjiang Ferry.

The head of the Zhao family was the main person in charge of this operation. His family had always had business dealings with the Buddhist sect in the Western Desert, so this time they served as the tool in Li Wei's hands.

However, it must be said that human adaptability is astonishing.

When the head of the Zhao family realized that he could not escape Li Wei's control, he resigned himself to his fate and became "loyal" and began to offer advice and strategies to Li Wei.

[Your Excellency, the Mighty King Bodhisattva is a representative of the Buddhist alms-seeking faction. His favorite pastime is lending money to others, so when we meet later, we should probably lend him several hundred billion.]

In this way, the Bodhisattva will surely be greatly pleased, and our negotiations will proceed very smoothly.

Everyone has their own expertise. Since your Zhao family is aware of the situation, I will naturally follow your arrangements. Do as you see fit!

Li Wei said silently, "I will not participate in the negotiations from now on; my only responsibility is to protect you all."

So you need to figure out what you want and how to get it! You must also figure out how to make the enemy believe you're planning a surprise attack.

Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!

The family heads immediately looked embarrassed: "Don't worry, Inspector, we will definitely do our utmost to get this done!"

Li Wei nodded and snapped his fingers.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao 0.81 silently swam into the bodies of several family heads, covering their moods, wills, and thoughts with layers of disguise.

[Master, as long as that Bodhisattva doesn't directly and violently dismantle their brains, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.]

That's good!

Li Wei suddenly waved his hand and said, "[Let's go!]"

【yes!!】

Whoosh whoosh!

The heads of the three families soared into the sky and flew together towards the direction of Sanjiang Ferry.

Li Wei used the Seventy-Two Transformations to change his appearance, and from a distance, he looked like a second-generation god who came out to see the world with his elders, attracting no attention at all.

They flew like this for about an hour.
A colossal mountain range, obscuring the sky, appeared before them, resembling an insurmountable chasm that bisected the southern part of Zhongzhou.

The three great rivers run through the mountain range, where the infinite laws of water and the laws of the mountain's veins collide, forming a terrifying wave powerful enough to annihilate even gods.

Under this massive wave, only cultivators at the Celestial Immortal realm or above could cross it. That's why Yang Jian used his great magical power to split the mountain range and build a floating bridge over the waves.

The Sanjiang Ferry was built at the end of the pontoon bridge and was one of the most important exits from Tianfu County to the southern Galuo Plain of Zhongzhou.

And this time,
Li Wei and his three companions did not enter the Three Rivers Ferry, but instead waited in a secluded spot on the riverbank.

Soon,
Then a towering, imposing figure, as black as a bear, appeared on the opposite bank of the river. Barefoot, it stepped into the raging waves.
All of a sudden.

The heavens and earth stopped spinning.

The boundless river of power, formed by the collision of the waters of the Three Rivers of Tianfu and the laws of the Hengduan Mountains, was as if it had been directly split apart by a pair of invisible hands, revealing a bare riverbed!

Then countless waves submitted at the feet of the Bodhisattva, transforming into a lotus platform that lifted Him before Li Wei and his companions.

【Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk greets all fellow practitioners.】
