Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 432 A Surprising Act: Guanyin of Buddhism Appears!

The bewilderment of when they first arrived on the fairy island was gone from their eyes; instead, they were filled with determination.

Although his time on the fairy island was short, the stone monkey greatly broadened his horizons.

He may not be considered a scholar of ancient and modern knowledge, but he is not far off; he is no longer the naive stone monkey he once was.

The stone monkey arrived in front of the thatched hut, knelt down abruptly, kowtowed three times, then resolutely got up and walked towards the edge of the island.

Although he only spent a few years cultivating on the immortal island, the immortal master gave him a treasure that he could use for a lifetime.

Not long after the stone monkey left, the door of the thatched hut suddenly opened again.

Zhao Gongming stepped out again, gazing at the stone monkey's back, a hint of emotion flashing across his face!

The stone monkey was indeed exceptionally talented, but under the great calamity, the trend of the Heavenly Dao was irresistible. The longer the stone monkey stayed by his side, the more it would harm him. Therefore, in the past few years, he had to seize every second, and the result was finally satisfactory.

He has already taught the Great Dao and guided the stone monkey onto the right path. The rest of the journey is up to the stone monkey to walk on his own.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Gongming caused the thatched huts, futons, and the gleaming golden mountain at the center of the immortal island to vanish like bubbles.

Three strands of pure golden light, transformed from the three monks Dipankara, Ananda, and Kasyapa, were flying towards the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Soon, the three of them flew to the gates of the Pure Land of Bliss. After revealing their true forms, they looked at each other, feeling extremely awkward!

For more than ten years, they have been guarding the perimeter and edges of the East China Sea, trying every means to find out about the Stone Monkey, but all of this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they have found nothing.

Without finding a scapegoat, Buddhism cannot flourish; they are the ultimate sinners!

Ananda clasped his hands together, his face grim. "The dragon race! Damn it! If it weren't for the dragon race, how could our Buddhist sect's nemesis have been lost?"

Kasyapa said, "What's the use of saying all this now? If we don't find the Child of Calamity, it will be our greatest dereliction of duty."

A cold smile crept onto Ran Deng's lips. "You really think the dragons were behind the monkey's disappearance?"

Ananda and Kasyapa exchanged a glance. "Brother Dipankara, could it be that the Jie Sect has been orchestrating everything all along?"

Ran Deng said coldly, "Who else could it be but the Jie Sect? But with Jie Zi missing, we all bear a responsibility. Junior brothers, let's go and meet the Sage."

Having said that, Randeng strode into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Ananda and Kasyapa dared not be careless and quickly followed.

In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Zhunti and Jieyin listened with pained expressions to the reports from Dipankara and the other two.

The two men were not at all surprised by the report from Ran Deng and the other two.

If it was truly the work of a saint from the Jie Sect, they alone would have no way of detecting it.

After instructing Randeng and the others to continue guarding the East Sea and report any news, Zhunti waved his hand, signaling Randeng and the others to leave.

"Senior brother, it's been more than ten years, and that calamity is still being hidden by the Jie Sect. We can't wait any longer. Let's go to Zixiao Palace together and complain to our teacher."

Zhunti could no longer hold on. This great calamity was a tremendous opportunity for the West, and it couldn't be ruined by the monkey.

Jieyin's expression also turned somewhat distressed. "In that case, come with me to Zixiao Palace."

Zhunti and Jieyin reached an agreement and were preparing to go to Zixiao Palace.

Suddenly, the workings of the heavens, operating in the darkness, emitted a tremendous roar!

As the heavenly secrets changed, Zhunti and Jieyin focused their eyes and hurriedly used their great magical power to calculate!

The calamity star, which had been obscured more than a decade ago, has now become clear again.

Although the calamity of heaven and earth obscured cause and effect and disrupted the secrets of heaven, making it impossible to predict its exact location, the calamity star is clear, representing the stone monkey, and has reappeared—this is an indisputable fact.

"Senior brother, am I seeing things? The Calamity Star is clear now!"

Zhunti's voice trembled as he spoke.

"That's right, the calamity star is clear, which means that the stone monkey has escaped from the clutches of the Jie Sect!"

With a resolute gesture, he casually waved his hand, and three golden decrees flew out of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Before long, Dipankara, Ananda, and Kasyapa, who had already left, returned to the Pure Land.

The guide said, "The calamity star is clear. If nothing unexpected happens, the stone monkey has been reborn. You should search the East Sea to see where the stone monkey is now."

"Yes."

Dipankara quickly led Ananda and Kasyapa away.

At the edge of the fairy island, the stone monkey unearthed the wooden boat he had hidden when he first arrived on the island.

The wooden boat had been submerged in the sea for many years and had rotted away. So the stone monkey quickly made an identical wooden boat, picked a lot of peaches, and piled the boat full before setting off.

This trip had no destination; it was for fishing!

The force behind the old white monkey when fishing in Flower Fruit Mountain!

The stone monkey had a vague idea about that power.

After leaving the fairy island by boat, the stone monkey rowed aimlessly. Before long, he was spotted by a guardian who was also aimlessly drifting on the sea.

The Buddhist protector rubbed his eyes hard, nudged his companion, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Look! What's that?!"

His companion turned around, his expression quickly changing drastically. "It's...that stone monkey!"

The two Buddhist protectors were like ferocious beasts that had been starving for three days and three nights, seeing the freshest and most delicious prey!

"You stay here and keep watch, but remember not to be discovered by that monkey. I'm going to report to the Buddha, Venerable One."

The guardian who first discovered the stone monkey left a sentence, transformed into a streak of light, and headed straight for the edge of the East Sea.

Before long, Dipankara, Ananda, and Kasyapa received the news and rushed over.

When the three of them saw the stone monkey hiding in the cabin, munching on peaches, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Heaven have mercy! Our Buddhist scourge has reappeared in the light of day!"

With mixed feelings of excitement, Dipankara, Ananda, and Kasyapa returned to the Pure Land to report.

Inside the Pure Land, Randeng carefully reported what he had seen: "Teacher, Uncle-Master, that monkey is sitting on a wooden boat, drifting on the sea. I guess it is most likely going back to Flower Fruit Mountain. The aura on that monkey is somewhat special. It should be that it has been guided by the Jie Sect and has embarked on the path of cultivation."

Zhunti and Jieyin were not surprised that the monkey embarked on the path of cultivation.

The level of the stone monkey's cultivation was not what they cared about most.

So what if it's just a mere ordinary monkey?

So what if they are Great Immortals or Quasi-Saints?

It's nothing at all!

At least Zhunti and Jieyin don't care!

For Buddhism, a good calamity is one that allows them to take advantage of the great power of Heaven to plan a complete calamity from beginning to end and achieve the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Jieyin thought for a moment and said, "Since Jiezi has already appeared, it means that the Jie Sect can no longer interfere. You should all leave the East Sea. Someone else will take care of the Stone Monkey matter."

"Yes."

Dipankara, Ananda, and Kasyapa nodded and returned to the East Sea, summoning all the Buddhist disciples back to the Great Thunderclap Temple.

In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Zhunti and Jieyin thought for a moment and then brought Guanyin Bodhisattva back.

Guanyin, having spent many years on Flower Fruit Mountain, was familiar with the stone monkey, making it easier for her to guide him!
