Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

Tianpeng was very pragmatic; he didn't call him "junior brother" but "senior brother," even though he was much stronger than Tang Sanzang.

But he also knew who the core of the pilgrimage group was.

"You're too kind, junior brother!"

"From now on, on our journey to the West, we will support each other!"

"Attaining enlightenment as soon as possible is the true path!"

Tang Sanzang said!

"good!"

……

After leaving Yunzhan Cave, the group continued their journey and passed Huangfeng Ridge.

That Yellow Wind Monster was a genuine demon from Mount Ling, but its strength was actually only average, at the Xuanxian realm. However, it had mastered the Samadhi Divine Wind, making it quite troublesome.

This time, Sun Wukong, being at the peak of the Great Luo realm, was not afraid of any Samadhi Divine Wind.

After breaking through the Samadhi Divine Wind, Tang Sanzang, wielding his bright silver spear, was like Zhao Zilong possessed, and easily defeated him in a few moves!

When Bodhisattva Lingji arrived, he found that the matter was already over!

Sun Wukong, holding his golden cudgel, glanced at Lingji Bodhisattva a few times. Lingji shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.

After Lingji left, the group continued their journey and soon arrived at the Liusha River!

Here, the last member of the westward-bound team, General Curtain-Roller, joined the army!

That's it!

Chapter 565 Zhen Yuanzi: Oh no, that plague-ridden monkey is here!

"Uncle-Master!"

"Where should we go next?"

Having crossed the Flowing Sand River, Tianpeng, dressed in fine clothes and holding a nine-toothed rake, looked at Sun Wukong and asked with a simple smile.

Tianpeng was a disciple of the Shangqing Sect, a direct descendant of the Xuandu Grand Master, and a third-generation member of the Xuanmen lineage. Therefore, he needed to address Sun Wukong, a second-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, as his senior uncle.

"Yes, Great Sage, where should we go next?"

The Curtain-Rolling General beside him, though a celestial official and a confidant of the Jade Emperor, was neither a disciple of the Xuanmen sect nor a person on the Investiture of the Gods list. Therefore, he addressed Sun Wukong by his title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

"Hehehe, logically speaking, after crossing the Flowing Sand River, it should have been my senior sister Wudang and that scoundrel Cihang who set up this test of Zen mind!"

"But now that the Jie Sect has appeared in the prehistoric world, Senior Sister Wudang would not collude with Buddhism for the sake of mere merit!"

"However, this time, members of our Jie Sect should enter the mortal world to try and share in the merits of the Journey to the West calamity."

"We will know who is ahead then!"

Sun Wukong laughed.

"I see!"

"I suppose there are also disciples of my Human Sect in the rear?"

Tianpeng said.

"That's for sure!"

"The merits of such a vast Journey to the West are too much for the Jie Sect to handle, and we won't give any to the Buddhist sect either. The rest will naturally belong to our Xuanmen sect and the Heavenly Court!"

Sun Wukong looked at Tianpeng and General Juanlian and said with a smile.

"That's how it should be!"

"That's how it should be!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

It's obvious that the whole group has been infected by Sun Wukong!

Just as the group was chuckling, Tang Sanzang suddenly said:

"Master!"

“We all possess magical powers, so crossing this 800-mile-long Flowing Sand River is no problem. However, although our Tang soldiers practice martial arts, they do not have the method to traverse the void. Won’t this Flowing Sand River hinder our Tang soldiers’ westward expedition?”

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Tianpeng laughed and said:

"Don't worry, senior brother!"

"Before my junior brother descended to the mortal realm, he had already received the Jade Emperor's decree!"

"All the great rivers and streams along this westward journey are under the control of my Heavenly River Navy!"

“When we crossed the river last time, my junior brother had already ordered the construction of a hundred stone bridges across the eight-hundred-mile-long Liusha River!”

"By the time the Tang army arrives on its western expedition, the bridge will likely be completed, allowing for a smooth and unimpeded westward march!"

Tang Sanzang looked at Tianpeng and breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, I must thank you, Junior Brother!"

"Hi!"

"All Taoist sects under heaven are one family!"

"Why bother with such formalities between us, fellow disciples?"

"Moreover, if it weren't for this great calamity in the Journey to the West, my junior brother wouldn't have had the opportunity to cultivate in front of our grandmaster, and he wouldn't have reached the peak of the Taiyi realm so quickly!"

Tianpeng knew the reason why he possessed his current strength.

"All right!"

"Why waste so much breath!"

"Everyone, perk up!"

With that, Sun Wukong took the lead and charged straight ahead!

……

For the next half month, they traveled through mountains and rivers without encountering any monsters.

On Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, after careful consideration, Chen Yang decided to let the Holy Mother of Wudang handle this difficult task.

As for who the Holy Mother of Wudang would take with her, Chen Yang didn't care!

So, the Holy Mother of Wudang strolled to the Heavenly Court, found the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and took them down to the mortal realm.

……

On this day, the four people and two horses traveled to a mountain area and saw a cloud of auspiciousness covering the mountaintop in the distance.

The four were no ordinary people; they could tell at a glance that this was a blessed land of immortals.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed to see this and exclaimed that it was his senior sister!

So the four of them rode forward and soon arrived at the manor.

Before entering, Sun Wukong intended to knock on the door directly, but suddenly remembered something. He quickly conjured a water mirror, then transformed into the official robes of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Heaven before stepping forward to knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

The courtyard gate opened, revealing four stunningly beautiful women dressed in gorgeous attire; they were none other than the Holy Mother of Wudang and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.

"Sun Wukong greets Senior Sister Wudang and her three junior sisters!"

Although Sun Wukong was Xiao Yan's disciple, he was an inner disciple of the Jie Sect.

Although the Three Immortals were many years older than him, they were only outer disciples and should call him senior brother.

"Disciple Tang Sanzang greets his senior uncles and master!"

Tang Sanzang also stepped forward and bowed in respect.

"Tianpeng greets his fourth uncles!"

Tianpeng's teacher was Xuandu. Although Xuandu joined the Xuanmen sect relatively late among the second-generation disciples, his teacher was Laozi. Therefore, among the third-generation disciples of the Xuanmen sect, Tianpeng was the most senior.

He could address even the senior disciples of the Chan Sect, such as the Antarctic Immortal and the Jie Sect, such as Duobao, as "Uncle-Master."

Finally, it was the Curtain-Rolling General who stepped forward and bowed.

"I pay my respects to the Holy Mother Wudang and the Three Immortal Maidens!"

At this point, it's natural not to address them by their Heavenly Court titles.

After all, in theory, although the Curtain-Raising Fairy was a confidante of the Jade Emperor and did not hold a divine position on the Investiture of the Gods, her status was above that of the Three Immortals, the Fairy of Following the World and Responding to Circumstances.

"Junior brother, no need for formalities!"

"Greetings, fellow disciples!"

"We have been instructed by our teacher to set up a challenge here. We would be grateful if you would simply go through the motions!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang laughed.

"It's only right to unite!"

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

"In that case, please come in!"

The Holy Mother of Wudang smiled, and Sun Wukong and the others went inside as instructed.

Apart from Tang Sanzang, the others were actually quite familiar to everyone.

In fact, even Tang Sanzang, whose previous incarnation was Jin Chanzi, was no stranger to these four people.

Originally, the Journey to the West was destined to be a great calamity, but this time it should be the Four Sages testing the mind of Zen.

But now, the group sat cross-legged in the courtyard, with the Holy Mother Wudang explaining the wonders of the Shangqing Immortal Method of the Jie Sect.

Although Tianpeng cultivates the Golden Elixir Dao of the Taiqing Saint, this does not prevent him from drawing upon and learning from various sources.

After discussing the Dao for over a month, this ordeal can be considered a complete success!

"Great Sage!"

Be careful on your journey to the West!
