I Am Buddha Mother Zhunti of the Western Lands. Help Me Escort Someone to Obtain the Scriptures, and I'll Give You Freedom

"Hehe, who am I?"

Daoist Zhunti did not rush to answer Sun Wukong's question.

He merely stood there as a faint light began to radiate from his body.

At first, the light was weak, like morning mist, but it quickly grew intense.

A golden glow poured from his body, spreading outward in expanding circles and illuminating the foot of Five Elements Mountain as brightly as day.

The Dao Resonance in the air began to flow, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed drawn by something as it gathered around Daoist Zhunti.

That spiritual energy formed ring after ring of halos behind him, each one containing the power of different laws.

Within some halos, stars revolved. Within others, mountains and rivers hung upside down. Within still others, all living beings worshipped.

With a thunderous roar.

Flowers rained from the heavens, Golden Lotuses sprang from the earth, and the vast, majestic aura of a Saint erupted!!

The Five Directional Guardians had long since fallen to their knees, their heads bowed low and their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They could feel the oppressive force emanating from Daoist Zhunti. It was not aimed at them, yet they simply could not control themselves.

The Earth God was sprawled directly on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

Daoist Zhunti wore a smile. His voice was quiet, yet it entered the ears of everyone present with perfect clarity. "Hehe, I am Buddha Mother Zhunti of the Western Lands."

Sun Wukong froze.

He had witnessed plenty of grand scenes. During Havoc in Heaven, he had seen the Jade Emperor and countless Immortals of the Heavenly Court.

But compared with the monk before him, those people were simply not on the same level.

It was not a difference in strength, but a difference in essence.
