Su Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If someone had just risked life and death to snatch the treasure, the situation would probably be difficult to end.
After all, the power of Desolate Heavenly Emperor is fading, and there is only a moment left before returning to the "world where the gods reside".
Just as everyone was leaving, Grand Pure Laozi suddenly stopped and spoke to Su Yang.
"I wonder if you would like to follow me to the Eight Views Palace and join us on the road?"
After the words fell, Su Yang's eyebrows moved slightly, slightly surprised.
Sect Master Tongtian and Empress Nuwa are now on their side, so there is no need to worry too much about traps.
He finally realized that even if Desolate Heavenly Emperor was about to disappear, there were still two strong men he could rely on. Perhaps because of this, those quasi-sages did not dare to act rashly.
Facing Grand Pure Laozi's invitation, Su Yang was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "Taiqing Saint is the leader of Three Pure Ones, ranking at the top of all saints. His cultivation is Way of Non-Action, and he has achieved the state of Supreme Forgetfulness. With ordinary people like us, it may be difficult to enter the Daoist banquet."
"To discuss the Tao, one needs to be connected with one's mind. We are shallow, how dare we disturb Qingxiu?"
Grand Pure Laozi Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. It is rare for this young man to be able to understand his own path.
Then he smiled slightly and said in a voice as smooth as an ancient well, "There are thousands of ways, and each has its shortcomings. Discussing the ways is not for charity, but for mutual learning."
"You are well versed in the mysteries of all realms and have extraordinary insights. I am willing to listen to you. There is no need to refuse, just treat it as a casual conversation."
At this time, Empress Nuwa turned his mana into silk and whispered into his ears, "Don't be afraid, senior brother Supreme Purity has always been quiet and uncontested, and has no greed for Eastern Emperor Bell. If he really wanted to take it away, I would have been unable to stop him before."
Sect Master Tongtian said nothing, just nodded gently, his eyes as steady as a mountain.
Su Yang did not hesitate, turned to look at Grand Pure Laozi, nodded gently and said, "Since Saint invites you, if I refuse again and again, I will betray this sincerity."
"Okay." Grand Pure Laozi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, unfolded his sleeves and robes, and the mighty magic power surged like a tide, instantly engulfing everyone in it and galloping towards the Eight Views Palace.
Between Primordial World, Earthly Immortal Realm is suspended quietly.
Western Ox Continent hinterland, Spirit Mountain stands tall and towering.
One day passes in heaven, and one year passes on earth Spring and Autumn Annals.
Now more than Heavenly Realm months have passed, and the lower world has already changed, and everything has changed.
In this short period of time, the Western Teachings sect continued to plan, and the westward journey was quietly accelerating.
Great Sun Tathagata finished reciting the sutra, his eyes slowly fell on Guanyin Bodhisattva, and asked in a low voice, "Master Guanyin, how is the situation with Golden Cicada going?"
"The fate has been decided."
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled calmly, clasped his hands and bowed, "All six reincarnations have been completed. It's time to take the next step."
Great Sun Tathagata nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about the stone monkey?"
"Spiritual Stone Monkey has left Mount Fangcun and is on the way back to Flower-Fruit Mountain." Guanyin replied, "Buddha, should we start follow-up arrangements?"
Great Sun Tathagata closed his eyes for a moment and spoke slowly, "Empress Houtu is currently living in the Eight Views Palace and is discussing the road with the storyteller Su Yang and others."
"Saint Zhunti has promised to use supreme magic power to cover his six senses, making it difficult for him to detect the changes in Primordial World."
"This is a good opportunity for the Stone Monkey to disrupt the underworld."
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded in response, "Buddha saw it very clearly."
"It's just that although Eight Views Palace is restraining Houtu, there are still Great Emperor Fengdu and Lord of Mount Tai in the underworld."
"We need to try to delay its reaction and buy opportunities for the Stone Monkey."
Great Sun Tathagata pondered for a moment and then ordered, "The two arhats, Jianglong and Fuhu, are ordered to prepare immediately, to coordinate secretly, and to pave the way."
Before he finished speaking, Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up from the lotus. With a flash of white light, his figure disappeared into the void.
After he left, Great Sun Tathagata slowly let out a long breath.
The Stone Monkey's Underworld is about to open. Next, it's time to go to Heavenly Court to meet Jade Emperor.
Even if Heavenly Court cannot be allowed to take the initiative to fulfill the Stone Monkey's reputation, it can still be induced to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
Only in this way can the name Spiritual Stone Monkey be spread among the demon clan in the three realms.
At that time, all demons will return home, and Buddhism can not only spread Buddhism to the east by traveling west, but also absorb the demons and strengthen its foundation.
The West is prosperous, Buddhism flourishes, and merits are immeasurable!
Aolai Country, Flower-Fruit Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist.
A golden light flashed across the sky, and the Spiritual Stone Monkey jumped on the clouds and jumped into the sky with a somersault. In the sea of clouds, the monkeys raised their heads and cheered, and the sound shook the valley.
This monkey was transformed from the immortal stone left behind in Nuwa Mending the Heavens. It is naturally psychic and untainted by the mortal world.
He was also a key figure in Western planning.
If the plan succeeds, this stone monkey will eventually return to Buddhism, achieve fruition, and its name will be resounding throughout the three thousand worlds Victorious Fighting Buddha.
But he still doesn't know that his fate has already been woven into a web, and his life's actions are all planned by others.
After decades of struggling to seek immortality, Mount Fangcun finally became a disciple of Bodhi and learned the magic method of immortality. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he is full of energy and displays his magical powers in front of a group of monkeys, which is very impressive.
When he was feeling proud, the old ape who had guided him to leave the mountain to seek immortality slowly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Great King Now that he has attained the Tao, he doesn't know what the weapons he uses are?"
Sun Wukong paused after hearing this, scratched his head, and said with a grin, "This Old Sun is used to using a stick, but he still hasn't found a stick that he can use. He's really worried."
He has been given the surname "Sun" by Bodhi, but he has not yet had a formal name. Because his master intended for him to remember the kindness of teaching him, and because his appearance resembles Monkey and his temperament is out of control, he is called "Sun Wukong".
The true name will be revealed in the future when Tang Sanzang completes his journey westward. The premise is that everything proceeds according to the established path.
After hearing this, the old ape whispered, "Great King, I have heard that East Sea Dragon Palace has countless treasures, and Sea Suppressing is a rare iron that is rare to find in ten thousand years. Why not go and give it a try and ask for a weapon from Dragon King?"
"Dragon Palace? Divine Iron?" Sun Wukong's eyes suddenly lit up, Golden Pupils flashed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Children, guard Flower-Fruit Mountain, This Old Sun and now go to the East Sea for a visit!"
After finishing speaking, the figure turned into a stream of light and fell straight into the depths of the blue waves, disappearing in an instant.
The old ape on the shore looked at the turbulent sea water, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and an imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes.
Everything is like a chess game, every step is planned.
"This Old Sun is from Flower-Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave. I came to visit you today just to find a useful weapon."
Sun Wukong grinned, with a bit of pride in his tone.
Depths of the East Sea, Crystal Palace Que is hidden under the blue waves. The Dragon Palace is majestic and the atmosphere is solemn.
Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, who was guarding the palace gate, saw the angry-faced Monkey rushing straight in. He was already prepared.
They acted as ordered and just waited for Spiritual Stone Monkey to show up and then put on a show according to their plan.
"Bold madman! This is the residence of Dragon King, how can you be allowed to come and go at will?"
A Crab General horizontal halberd shouted angrily, and Lesser Demon surrounded him one after another. The swords reflected the water and filled with evil energy.
Sun Wukong, however, was unhurried, with his hands on his hips and his eyes twinkling. "Tell you old Dragon King to come out and see me. Don't waste time."
Before he finished speaking, he tapped his fingertips and a restraint was released, Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals was immediately unable to move.
He jumped up and walked straight into the palace on the jade steps, his figure passing through the coral forest like the wind.
After he walked away, the immobilized Lesser Demon slowly resumed their actions.
They looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, but no one pursued them.
They are all third-level true immortals. If they really make a move, only a first-level true immortal can be destroyed with just a snap of a finger.
But Dragon King has an order: Don't stop it, let it go deep.
In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, the pearl is the lamp and Mysterious Iron is the pillar.
Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea sits in a high position, the dragon scales are shining, and the majesty is majestic.
Feeling that Monkey stepped into the inner hall, his eyes were slightly cold, but he still suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
"This great Imperial Carriage lin, what do you want me to do?"
He deliberately called himself "Great Sage" and his tone was gentle, but in fact he was testing.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he scratched his head with joy. "Dragon King still knows the goods! This Old Sun is short of a good weapon, so I came here to borrow one for use."
His words were clear and uninhibited, as if he were really a guest.
Ao Guang sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.
Saint has long predicted that this matter is related to the revival of the Dragon Clan.
No matter how unwilling he was, he could only go with the flow.
"Since it is the Great Sage who has spoken, I should do my best."
He stood up slowly, waved his sleeves and said, "Come here, take the Great Sage to the treasure house to have a look. Anyone who agrees with you can take it."
Outside the hall, the sea current surges gently, and the undercurrent is silent.
A seemingly accidental intrusion into the palace actually had its cause and effect already laid.
That Sun Wukong followed the attendant with his head held high, completely unaware that he was walking on the road paved by Heaven's Mandate.
"Old Dragon King, This Old Sun just came back from practicing outside, and I'm currently in need of something suitable. Do you have any weapons here that I can lend me? I will definitely return them in the future."
Before he finished speaking, East Sea Dragon King frowned slightly, as if thinking, and then showed his face and said, "If you meet the monkey Wang Xiang, you will be Karmic connection. It's just a weapon. It doesn't hurt to give it to you."
"Come here, bring your weapons!"
After giving the order, four aquatic monsters worked together to carry a long whip and placed it heavily in front of the temple. Dragon King said softly, "This whip is eight thousand four hundred kilograms. I wonder if the Great Sage can move it?"
Sun Wukong stretched out his hand, danced twice, shook his head and said, "Too light! Too light! How about changing to something heavier?"
Dragon King's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand calmly. Another weapon was presented. "This object weighs 23,000 kilograms. The Monkey King might as well try it."
Sun Wukong grabbed it with one hand and turned it around a few times, but was still not satisfied. "It's still not heavy enough. Old Dragon King, is there anything heavier? It's best to use an iron rod. This Old Sun likes to play with sticks the most."
Dragon King was silent for a moment, with a trace of reluctance on his face, and finally said, "There is indeed one thing... but it's too heavy, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mortal Body to lift it."
"Oh, if you have it, take it out and take a look!" Sun Wukong urged impatiently.
With a helpless smile, Dragon King stood up and said, "Come with me. That object is hidden deep in the back of the palace, and most people don't even dare to take a look at it."
The two of them walked through the corridor and through the hall, and walked to the secluded place under the sea. In the distance, where the sea currents surged, a huge pillar plunged straight into the abyss, and black light circulated throughout the body, making the entire sea area as bright as day.
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, he flew over and looked around the giant pillar, feeling uncontrollably happy in his heart.
"This is Sea-Calming Divine Needle, weighing one hundred and eighty thousand kilograms." Dragon King said in a low voice, "It's a big deal. Does the Monkey King really want to try it?"
"Just what I wanted!" Sun Wukong clapped his hands and laughed.
Dragon King added, "If you want to use it, just shout 'small' and it will shrink; shout 'big' and it will restore its shape. This thing has extraordinary spirituality, and only those who have the chance can get it."
Sun Wukong felt hot in his heart and said secretly: It is indeed wonderful!
He drank softly. "Little! Little! Little!"
I saw the magic needle slowly shrinking, the light converged, and finally turned into a foot long and fell into the palm of my hand.
He lowered his head and saw that there were numbers engraved on the body of the stick.
"Ruyi Jingu Bang! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
He clenched his hands and tried several postures. There was a faint wind and thunder between the swings. Dragon King silently recited the magic formula, and the surrounding sea water rose in response to the situation, and the waves surged, just like the resonance of heaven and earth.
"What a treasure! Old Dragon King, thank you so much this time!"
Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes lingered on Dragon King's luxurious robes for a moment, then he looked down at his shabby clothes and grinned. "Brother Dragon King, can you borrow another outfit from This Old Sun?"
"Haha, whatever Brother Monkey said, just follow me."
After a while, East Sea Dragon King personally presented a set of neat clothes. When Sun Wukong was neatly dressed and left in the clouds, the smile on Dragon King's face gradually faded and turned into a sneer.
