Suppressing Sun Wukong, Kui Mulang Descends to the Lower Realm!

"Boom!"

As Ye Xuan entered Secluded Cultivation to consolidate his strength, within the Doushuai Palace, a Purple-Gold Pill Furnace Qiankun, imbued with the Divine Markings of Yin-Yang Bagua, failed to return to its original state and produce the golden elixir after forty-nine days. Instead, it absorbed all the power of the golden elixir into Sun Wukong's body, causing his strength to directly reach a new level.

As Taishang Laojun instructed two attendants to open the furnace lid, a tremendous aura erupted from within, accompanied by a deafening sound that reverberated through the void and shook the Nine Heavens.

Seeing this, Taishang Laojun was also quite satisfied. After taking his two attendants with him, he left the Doushuai Palace. He was one of the Three Corpses of the Taiqing Saint, and the other party's Good Corpse had only participated in the Journey to the West to scheme against the Buddhist Sect and gain some great Power of Merit. He didn't want to lose face. If he were to actually be hit by the staff, wouldn't he lose all face?

After it left, ten thousand golden rays pierced through the furnace wall, and a long-suppressed violent aura erupted like a volcano, forcefully pulling out the Six Ding Divine Fire, which could turn even Great Luo Immortal to ashes.

Amidst the billowing smoke and shattered ashes, a slender yet towering figure emerged.

"Come here with the stick!"

Sun Wukong's eyes were wide open, and within them seemed to be a beam of golden light soaring into the sky.

Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils!

This divine ability was a natal Innate Divine Ability that he comprehended amidst destruction after forcibly fusing a gourd of Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir on the verge of life and death.

He reached out and grabbed at the void. The Sea-Calming Divine Needle, which was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, was summoned and transformed into a shooting star, passing through the Endless Void and landing steadily in his palm.

"Today, I, Old Sun, will make this Heavenly Palace change hands, and turn all the immortals and gods in the heavens to dust!"

As the Golden Cudgel swept across, the void shattered. Sun Wukong roared and transformed into a golden rainbow, fighting his way from the Doushuai Palace to the Tongming Hall. Wherever he passed, the armor of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and generals shattered, and none could stop him. He was like a god of death, rampaging and crashing straight into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Seeing this, Haotian's face turned ashen. There were 365 Righteous Gods in the Heavenly Court, yet not one of them could stop the other party. If he were to actually break into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, wouldn't he lose all face? He immediately spoke up.

"Send word to the West, requesting the Venerable One to come to our rescue!"

As he spoke, Shakyamuni and Daoist Qiongxiao, from the direction of the Western Spirit Mountain, had already witnessed this scene. Daoist Qiongxiao saw that although Sun Wukong's strength had reached the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, it was somewhat unstable, Innate Foundation had actually declined. He couldn't help but look grim.

"What a Taishang Laojun!"

"How dare they plot against our Buddhist Sect!"

Daoist Qiongxiao's expression was unfriendly. Sun Wukong was not only the child of the Measure Tribulation, but also one of the True Disciple designated by Daoist Zhunti. In a sense, he could also be considered his junior brother. Qiongxiao Daoist was furious.

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni and offered words of comfort.

"Buddha Mother, there is no need for anger!"

"Once I make my move and use the Five Elements Divine Mountain to reduce my junior brother's cultivation level, five hundred years later, after he completes his Journey to the West, not only will I be able to rebuild his foundation, but I will also be able to elevate him to a higher level."

Beside him, Daoist Qiongxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"That's one way!"

"Zhunti, did Master make any arrangements before Secluded Cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti chuckled and spoke directly.

"Although it's not directly related, there have been some arrangements."

"Some time ago, when my Senior Brother was creating the Inner World, we met once. Upon learning that Wukong was my disciple, he directly gifted him one-tenth of the Chaos Demon Ape's Origin Power."

"Five hundred years from now, after he completes his journey to the Journey to the West, I will formally have him become my disciple and pass on this one-tenth of the Chaos Demon Ape's Origin Power."

"As for now, let's use Shakya's method for now, lest the Daoist Taiqing discover any clues and secretly take action!"

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni also showed a hint of envy. The Dao Seeking Palace lineage was indeed wealthy and powerful. Before even formally joining the sect, one could already obtain one-tenth of the power of the Chaos Demon God's Origin Power.

This is the Demon God Origin; for some Innate Being, its mysteries surpass even those of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

If one obtains even a fraction of the Demon God Origin, the foundation of some Innate Being, one might even step into the Innate God-Demon, having a glimmer of hope to attain the Great Dao.

Furthermore, if the Great Dao they seek is consistent with the Origin Power, they can resonate with the Great Dao, making it easier to enter the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, or even seize the position of Dao Lord.

However, after some thought, Shakyamuni had already come to terms with it. He had already entered the Buddhist Sect order and was one of the Three Generations of Buddhas. Once he was truly recognized, he would eventually obtain such Supreme Wonder and enter the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

While he was pondering, Daoist Qiongxiao, who was standing to the side, asked out of curiosity.

"Zhunti, what is this Inner World? Is it related to the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams?"

"I only have a vague understanding of it, but my Senior Brother once called it the Inner World. It seems to be a method of achieving sainthood in the inner world, but the Dream World it creates is not an ordinary Great Thousand World. It is exactly the same as the Primordial World land."

"As for your plans, I didn't ask. You can make your own decisions about the journey to the Journey to the West during this time. But if you want to see your Senior Brother, it won't be an easy matter."

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni's mind wandered. The method of achieving sainthood in the Great Thousand World in Dreams, or the Primordial World land, could it be related to the Dao Ancestor? Then, he became uneasy again.

"Buddha Mother, Saint Zhunti, should this disciple excuse himself from such a confidential matter?"

Seeing the tension on his face, Daoist Zhunti smiled and said.

Why should we avoid it?

"My Senior Brother always considers defeat before victory. He won't speak of it if the Great Dao is not yet complete. When he sees me, he has already completed more than half of it. Moreover, it's not just me who is involved, but also the Saint Nuwa, the Saint Houtu, and the Ancestral Witch Xuanming."

"Even if word gets out, who in the whole world would dare to stop my Eldest Brother?"

"Even Daoist Laozi, the Daoist, only caused some trouble because his fortune was damaged. If you, Eldest Brother, were to speak up, you would still have to come to Spirit Mountain to apologize."

"People from Heavenly Court have arrived. Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace is coming to an end. Shakya, you may depart now!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni's face also turned solemn. He then remembered that this Saint Jieyin had the title of Dao Venerable, and was not his master, Tongtian Sect Master. The student surpassed the master, and was even better than the master. He immediately bowed to everyone before getting up and going to the Heavenly Court.

Within the Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace, a murderous aura filled the air.

The gods and immortals were all harboring their own ulterior motives. Although they were only going through the motions, none of them dared to actually let the demon monkey step into the main hall. Although everyone was dissatisfied with this Great Heavenly Venerate, he held the God-Beating Whip in his hand, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to teach them a lesson if he wanted to.

The gods each made their own moves, navigating between reality and illusion.

Among them, only Kui Mulang, the leader of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, fought the hardest. He was covered in silver light and transformed into a shadow of a greedy wolf star, charging ahead and fighting the Golden Cudgel repeatedly. Although he was forced to retreat step by step, he still managed to hinder the demon monkey's violent offensive and keep him outside the main hall.

Haotian sat high on his throne, watching this scene with satisfaction. This Kui Mulang was indeed a promising talent. After the Buddha of the Western Paradise Tathagata action and captured the demon monkey, he would definitely help him gain some Power of Merit.

After half a day of bloody battle, the immortals and gods under Sun Wukong's staff fell like wheat, but they still did not step into the main hall. Just as he was being violent, a grand Buddhist chant came from beyond the heavens, shaking the nine heavens.

"The Wenfo Shakya of the Western Paradise has arrived here by Imperial Edict!"

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, suddenly, chanting Sanskrit Chants filled the air, and a shower of flowers fell from the sky.

Upon learning that Buddha had arrived, all the gods and immortals in the heavens breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon learning that Shakyamuni had arrived, the gods all bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Buddha!"

Sun Wukong glanced sideways with his staff and saw a Buddha, hundreds of millions of feet tall and entirely gilded, appearing at the West Heaven Gate. His face was like a full moon, filled with compassion for all living beings, and his expression turned solemn.

"And who are you? You seem even stronger than that old thief Haotian?"

Shakyamuni chuckled softly, his laughter piercing through time and space, carrying boundless meaning. "No, the Great Heavenly Venerate is the ruler of the Three Realms, and disdains to lay a hand on someone like you whose Karma is not yet severed. I alone am sufficient."

"What a boastful bald monk!"

Sun Wukong's eyes darted around, and he sensed that the opponent's aura was as deep as the ocean and impossible to defeat by force, so he devised a plan.

"Old monk, you boast of your boundless Buddhist power, do you dare to challenge me, Old Sun, to a contest of supernatural abilities!"

"If I win, you will make the Jade Emperor step down from his position as Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable, how about that?"

Sun Wukong also had a degree of confidence in his Somersault Cloud.

This supernatural power was personally taught to him by his Patriarch Bodhi, and it aligns with the speed principle among the Three Thousand Great Daos.

When one is a celestial being, having just entered the gate, a single somersault can cover 108,000 li.

With his Daluo Golden Immortal realm, a single step could cover billions of miles.

Tathagata hearing this, Buddha nodded and spoke directly.

"Good!"

"You are confident in your speed, so come and try it in my right palm. If you can flip it out, the Great Heavenly Venerate will step down. If you cannot, you will be punished."

Seeing that he had agreed, Sun Wukong flashed with divine light and fell directly into his palm.

Before he could finish speaking, he did dozens of somersaults, crossing the Milky Way and traversing the Four Seas, until he saw the end of the sky and a pillar of clouds supporting the heavens, at which point he stopped.

"Buddha has fallen Tathagata the trap. Let me leave a mark so that the bald monk won't deny it."

Although he was already Daluo Golden Immortal, free from all defilement, he still conjured up a stream of monkey urine and sprinkled it at the base of the cloud pillar, even carving the wild cursive script of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and his entourage.

Seeing this scene, the gods in the Lingxiao Palace had strange expressions. They listened to the rushing water and looked up at the sky, as if they had not seen this scene at all.

West Heaven Gate, Shakyamuni's face darkened instantly. He was the former Senior Brother of the Jie Interception Sect, Daoist Duobao, a disciple Ten Thousand Buddhas' Venerable Sage, who established Mahayana Buddhism and was the most revered of all Buddhas. He was already a top-tier Realm of Quasi-Saint. If the other party were not his junior brother, he would have already sought death if he dared to humiliate him like this.

Tathagata snorted coldly, pondering that when he used the Five Elements Mountain later, he would return it all to the other party, making them taste it too.

As for actually killing him, let's not joke about that. For the Saint Zhunti, we should spare his life.

Half a day later, Sun Wukong, seeing that he had finished urinating, felt a surge of pride, and then somersaulted and rode a cloud back to the West Heaven Gate.

"You old bald monk, I, Old Sun, have won! Quickly tell the Jade Emperor to make room!"

Tathagata Buddha snorted coldly and spread out his right hand.

Sun Wukong looked closely and was struck dumb. There was a foul, fishy smell coming from between the other person's fingers.

The pillar of clouds he saw on the horizon turned out to be just the five fingers of the Tathagata!

"We've fallen for their trap!"

Sun Wukong gasped in shock and was about to leave Tathagata the Buddha's palm flip, the power of the five elements transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and fell directly onto the earth.

"Buddha's Palm Country, Five Elements Seal, Suppress!"

Amidst the deafening roar, a Five Elements Mountain appeared.

Sun Wukong stood at the foot of the mountain and roared wildly. With the divine power that had been enhanced by Taishang Laojun, he actually managed to lift up the Five Elements Mountain that had been nurtured by the Buddha's Palm Country.

"Has Sage intervened?"

The Buddha's expression Tathagata grim. With his status Quasi-Sage and his signature divine power, the Buddha's Palm Country, suppressing a Daluo Golden Immortal with a mere superficial foundation was as easy as turning his hand. He wouldn't have believed it if Sage hadn't intervened.

As they watched this scene unfold, a golden light descended from Spirit Mountain.

It was the Six-Character Mantra written by the Daoist Zhunti himself.

As soon as the divine inscription was posted, Five Elements Mountain instantly connected with the earth, becoming as stable as Kunlun Mountain.

With the intervention of Sage, Sun Wukong was powerless to resist and was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

Seeing that it had been suppressed, Tathagata took his leave, and Heavenly Court returned to peace.

After Sun Wukong was Daoist Zhunti, another Electronic Sound entered Ye Xuan's ears once again inside the Dao Seeking Palace.

[Ding-dong!]

[When Kui Mulang was detected causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, his extraordinary bravery pleased the Jade Emperor, who wished to send him to the Lower Realm to gain Power of Merit to the Journey to the West. Please select from the options below.]

[Option 1: Obstruct Kui Mulang's Lower Realm. Completing the quest will reward you with Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Shuangxuan Treasure Map.]

[Option Two: Ignore it. Ren Kui Mulang Lower Realm with the Fairy Baihua to complete the mission and obtain 10% of the Light Demon God's Origin Power.]

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"The Shuangxuan Treasure Map?"

Ye Xuan had never heard of this Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, unless it was a treasure of Chaos Demon God, would be basically useless to Ye Xuan.

Furthermore, the Origin Power of a Great Dao Demon God is, in any case, superior to a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also spoke up.

Choose the second option and ignore it!

After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound entered his ears.

[Ding-dong!]

[The host has chosen to ignore this. One-tenth of the Light Demon God's Origin Power is being distributed. Please check it yourself.]

"Buzz!"

In the void, another burst of Origin Power emerged.

Looking at the ball of demonic god's Origin Power in his hand, Ye Xuan was quite satisfied.

It is not only the Demon God Origin, but also one-tenth of the Origin Power the light demon god.

The power of light and darkness is one of the most direct images of the Yin-Yang phenomenon, and also a part of the Great Dao of Yin-Yang. Once Ye Xuan comprehends the Power of Light Laws, it will also be of some benefit to his cultivation.

With this in mind, Ye Xuan once again entered Secluded Cultivation.
