Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 344 Buddha: I have no way to defend myself.

Inside Ling Mountain.

The Buddha and other Buddhist masters frowned as they looked at the patterns on the stone tablet.

You could call it scribbles.

But the aura contained within it is too mysterious.

It is a power far more profound than they perceive.

But if it's written text, none of the people present could understand it.

At this moment, Venerable Kasyapa raised his head, looked at the Buddha, and asked, "Buddha, did you truly take the path to ascension?"

"Nonsense, when did I ever walk this road? I only sent Jin Chanzi here to make this monkey obey."

Buddha naturally denied it, since he had never done such a thing.

But Guanyin frowned and said, "Since the Buddha Tathagata did not do this, were the words on it carved by later generations?"

This statement came out.

Everyone was stunned.

Yes, it can also be engraved on it.

The Buddha also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that perhaps some powerful being was just playing a trick on him.

He stretched out his finger, wanting to leave a word on it.

As a result, a powerful energy burst forth from the stone tablet.

It actually flicked his finger away.

"this……"

"It's impossible to leave a trace!"

"It also possesses the ability to resist..."

At this moment, everyone on the battlefield had very strange expressions.

The expression on his face as he looked at Buddha was one of mockery and contempt.

If you don't want to tell the truth, then don't. We're not stupid. You say you haven't taken the path to heaven, but the stone tablet is irrefutable proof.

Even Guanyin doesn't believe that Buddha never passed by.

After all, he achieved enlightenment earlier than I did.

Does anyone know what he did?

Could it be that this path to heaven really exists?!

Or perhaps they themselves had all become his pawns.

Those who can sit here are all exceptionally capable.

They are all Buddhist masters, but whether they are of one mind or not is another matter.

The Buddha sensed that something was wrong and immediately became angry and ashamed, saying, "I said I didn't go through this ascension, and that's it. Do you think I lied to you?"

If this Golden Cicada becomes some kind of worthless immortal just by following one path, then I might as well just kill him. What good would it do me to create someone with my strength?

"But if you use a secret technique to turn it into an external avatar, it's different, am I right... Tathagata!!!"

The Jade Emperor, with a gloomy face, hurried in from outside.

The two supreme beings of the Three Realms locked eyes.

Soon the Jade Emperor's gaze fell on the stone tablet.

"Is there anything else you want to say? We agreed that I would send you westward in exchange for helping me get rid of the monsters in the mortal realm, but now things aren't going as planned."

The Jade Emperor's tone was extremely cold.

The momentum was also very strong.

In contrast, Buddha laughed and said, "It's just a stone tablet. You can have it if you want. Guanyin only took it because she found the inscription on it a bit strange."

The Buddhas looked at each other in bewilderment.

Something feels off about the atmosphere.

Logically speaking, Buddha shouldn't have given away the stone tablet so easily.

But now he is behaving very generously.

There's definitely something fishy going on here.

Everyone else thought this way, and the Jade Emperor naturally thought the same. He turned to look at the stone tablet, which exuded a very strong ancient aura.

The mysterious power is intoxicating.

The Jade Emperor tentatively asked, "Are you really going to give it to me?"

"Take it, I didn't lie to you. Don't forget we're still working together. I hope that after you take it, you can put aside your prejudices and continue your journey westward..."

"Very well, as expected of the Buddha, you truly have the air of a Taoist patriarch. Alright... I'll accept your kindness. I'll take the stone tablet with me and return it to you in three days..."

The Jade Emperor put away the stone tablet and turned to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask, "Hey, can I ask you something? Is the Path to Ascension real?"

The smile on Tathagata's face froze.

The Jade Emperor did not pursue the matter further and simply flew away.

"Your Majesty, this stone tablet?"

"It's true, but there's definitely something fishy about this Buddha. Hmph... Head west, send people to investigate this route. We absolutely cannot let the Buddha benefit alone."

He didn't care about any ancient path to ascension. Now, since there was a problem with this westward journey...

Just have someone screen them.

Meanwhile, inside the Mahavira Hall.

Guanyin asked Buddha, "Buddha, why did you allow the Jade Emperor to take the stone tablet away? If we could study the inscriptions inside, perhaps we could comprehend a deeper power."

"There's something wrong here. The problem just happens right when Sun Wukong is about to wake up. Don't you think something's fishy?"

The Buddha took a deep breath and spoke out what he had just been thinking.

This is in conjunction with the previous annihilation of the Buddhist soldiers.

Considering the current stone tablet, it is very likely that it was written by the same person.

The laws of Heaven are becoming increasingly chaotic.

Even he didn't know why the stone tablet was so mysterious.

If the other party truly possesses such immense power, why doesn't they take the initiative to eliminate them?

Is it to accumulate strength?

No... the other party simply wants to destroy my plan and completely ruin the grand scheme of Buddhism's prosperity.

Could it be that the Jade Emperor is crying wolf?

Now even Buddha's mind was in turmoil. He said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Don't give up control of the Five Sacred Mountains. You should lead people to suppress them personally."

"Yes, Buddha..."

Guanyin bowed.

He turned around and went off to get busy.

At this time, the Five Sacred Mountains were teeming with millions of demons, but no matter how they searched, they could not find any trace of Tang Sanzang.

The only opinion people have is that the time is not right.

Dozens of demon kings each occupied advantageous positions.

Looking forward to it.

That night, a group of shadowy figures attacked the monsters with ruthless cruelty.

Not a sound was made.

He was the leader of the monsters among them.

When Jiaolong woke up, he saw a group of bandits dressed in tattered clothes.

He looked completely bewildered.

What happened? I got robbed by bandits!!!

What a joke!

The second-in-command looked at him without saying a word, then slapped him across the face and said viciously, "You'd better answer whatever I ask you now. If you don't obey, you'll be killed and eaten like your men."

The dragon looked into the distance.

He saw that most of his underlings had been beaten back to their original forms.

A group of people are making fish balls.

Jiaolong swallowed hard and nodded quickly. Only then did the second-in-command remove his straw sandals from his face.

Supreme Treasure approached the dragon and smiled, "It's simple for us to find you. The God Lord is currently lacking followers, and I think you have great potential. Would you like to join us?"

He spoke while drinking the fish soup.

This stuff is really delicious.

It truly is an object that has come to life.

It's nourishing.

Watching Supreme Treasure munching on fish balls, the dragon trembled with fear.

"Sir... I'm willing to join the cult, I'll do anything you ask!!"

"Sure, I'll let you go after I've eaten."

The dragon felt a shiver run down its spine; thankfully, it wasn't the executioner.

It's good to be alive.

Where did these bandits come from? How could they be so fierce? They managed to take down a great monster like myself without anyone noticing.
