Journey to the West: Please Call Me the White Bone Demon

Yun Zhao gazed in the direction he had left, remaining silent for a long time.

At first, he only felt that this guy was carefree and eager to learn, and that passing on his teachings and giving away treasures were all opportunities.

But now, thinking back to Shen Gongbao's vague words before he left—"Seeing you is like seeing myself back then, it evokes some emotions... If you could... never mind."

Yun Zhao was suddenly jolted, and belatedly realized the deeper meaning behind it.

How spirited and ambitious Shen Gongbao was back then!

The elites of the Jie Sect, with their silver tongues, could stir up the winds and clouds of the Three Realms with just a single phrase, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

He was arrogant and believed he had the power to control the heavens, to see the cause and effect of things, and to tell if immortals were entering a calamity.

But what was the end result? In the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect collapsed, the Tongtian Sect Leader went into seclusion, and he himself ended up with the tragic fate of having his physical body suppressed by the North Sea Eye.

It was a kind of despair, falling from the peak into the abyss, a profound understanding of the ultimate price of "going against the heavens".

Now, he looks at Yun Zhao.

A young man who had just achieved the Golden Immortal realm possessed the incomplete Ten Absolute Formations and the divine power of the Law of Heaven and Earth. His aura was mysterious and not entirely under the control of the Heavenly Dao.

More importantly, Yun Zhao's ambition—to obstruct the pilgrimage to the West and to contend with Buddhism—isn't this just a replay of the struggle for destiny between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect back then?

Shen Gongbao saw a reflection of his former self in Yun Zhao.

That arrogant spirit of defying fate and wanting to fight against the tide, that self-confidence that one believes one can control the situation.

So he hesitated.

He wanted to persuade Yun Zhao to turn back—"If you can… forget it."

I wanted to say, "If you had woken up sooner and given up the idea of ​​fighting against fate, you might have been able to save your life," but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Because he knew that no one could persuade him back then, so how could he persuade Yun Zhao now?

So he chose to pass on his teachings and bestow treasures as a way to "help" Yun Zhao.

It's not about helping him succeed, but about helping him go further, see more clearly, and ultimately... perhaps avoid the fate of the Jie Sect back then.

Yun Zhao became more and more excited as he thought about it, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

"A quasi-saint ally..."

Although Shen Gongbao did not explicitly state that they were forming an alliance, the fact that they discussed the Dao, transmitted the Dharma, and gifted treasures in that year already demonstrated an immense level of goodwill.

More importantly, this person has escaped his fate, is disloyal to the Heavenly Court, does not follow the Buddhist path, and is merely a free-spirited quasi-saint.

If we can meet him again in the next simulation, and even ask him to come out of retirement...

Countless images were already flashing through Yun Zhao's mind.

Shen Gongbao, with his silver tongue, could persuade countless demon kings of Beiju Luzhou to descend the mountain and obstruct the pilgrimage team with just one sentence, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

With the power of a quasi-saint, he personally took action, setting up the remnants of the Ten Deadly Formations, trapping Sun Wukong for ten or eight years. What difficulty would that be?

In fact, he had a wide network of connections back then, including the Western Kunlun, the old followers of the North Sea, and the surviving immortals of the Jie Sect... If he could borrow even a little help from them, the journey to the West would probably be completely thrown into chaos.

"Ten or eight years... no, even until the day Tang Sanzang dies of old age, he won't see what the Great Thunderclap Temple looks like!"

Yun Zhao's breathing quickened.

System rewards are tied to the duration of the simulation. The longer the simulation lasts, the greater the rewards.

Last time, after two months and twenty-three days, I had already attained fifty thousand years of cultivation, the Golden Immortal realm, the Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Blazing Flame Array.

If we can delay it for ten or eight years...

Taiyi Sanshu? Daluo Jinxian? Or even a Quasi-Saint?

A sharp glint flashed in Yun Zhao's eyes, which he then forcefully suppressed.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Shen Gongbao could be an asset, or he could become a variable.

"In the next simulation, we must be careful in making connections and proceed slowly."

Yun Zhao took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement for the time being.

It's time to go back to White Tiger Ridge.

A blue light appeared beneath his feet, transforming into a beam of light that shot straight south.

Heading south, the ice fields receded into the distance, and the snow-capped mountains became less frequent. After another month or so, they returned to Xiniuhezhou.

On White Tiger Ridge, Yun Zhao's aura poured out without any attempt to conceal it.

A beautiful figure flew into the air.

Who are you?

The White Bone Demon cried out, sensing the terrifying magical power and powerful cultivation emanating from Yun Zhao, and her heart was filled with fear.

Yun Zhao smiled slightly.

Without wasting words, they directly abducted her to their cave, and after a series of sexual encounters, the White Bone Demon was completely subdued.

"Your Majesty~"

She is gentle and tender, with a charming voice.

Yun Zhao embraced the other person with satisfaction, but in his heart he was planning how to carry out the next simulation.

In the last simulation, the core strategy was "worldly obstacles + monster delays".

The regent of Baoxiang Kingdom used the country's power to place Tang Sanzang under house arrest, and used the Yellow Robe Monster to capture his disciple, delaying the situation for more than two months.

Overall, the effect was excellent, but in the end it was only limited by its inferior strength compared to the monkey, otherwise it could have continued to drag on.

So this time, we can still use the same approach we've figured out before.

First of all, there's nothing to say about the fact that it's still based in Baoxiang Kingdom.

The identity of the regent cannot be abandoned.

This identity allows one to mobilize the power of an entire nation; civil and military officials, army provisions, laws, and etiquette can all be used for one's own purposes.

Tang Sanzang valued worldly rules the most. Without official documents or travel permits, he could be imprisoned, forced into hard labor, and his life delayed at every turn.

However, having gained experience this time, there's no need to spend a lot of time governing the country.

It can be used simply to impersonate someone and control the government.

As for his true form, he can wander around, and it would be great if he could find a few powerful helpers.

If creatures like the Black Bear Spirit and the Yellow Wind Monster could become Yun Zhao's allies, the process of obstructing him would be much smoother.

This time, their strength has greatly improved.

Yun Zhao felt that even without the help of the Blazing Flame Array, he should be able to deal with the monkey for the time being, relying solely on his own cultivation and magical treasures.

We can set up a trap early on to lure the enemy into our trap.

Once he enters my blazing array, wouldn't he be completely at my mercy?

While it's true that hair weakens fire, and Sun Wukong has a copper head and iron arms, the fire in his formation is not ordinary fire, nor is it Samadhi True Fire, but rather the even stronger Crimson Heaven Divine Fire and Sun True Fire.

If a monkey can barely survive, then it must be considered highly skilled.

Breaking the formation is clearly impossible.

This time, we can definitely use this method to greatly extend the time of obstruction!
