The Buddhist Sect is Somewhat Powerless

Guanyin Bodhisattva gave Tang Yu a parting instruction: "Tang Sanzang, you all should continue on your journey. You must not delay the great undertaking of retrieving the scriptures." With that, she took the Black Bear Spirit and flew away, no longer willing to spare Tang Yu another glance.

What's wrong with me? Why has my state of mind become so unstable lately?

Watching the two figures depart, a subtle sneer touched the corner of Tang Yu's lips.

At the crucial moment, just watch how I screw you over.

He had just exchanged something good with the System, and then, without anyone noticing, he had stuck it onto the Black Bear Spirit.

As for what it was...

Heh, it might be useful at the critical moment!

"Master, what did you just stick onto that bear spirit?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva hadn't seen it, but Sun Wukong had. He seemed to have seen something being slapped onto the Black Bear Spirit by Tang Yu, which then disappeared.

Therefore, he asked.

I didn't expect this monkey's eyes to be so sharp. He noticed even this. Of course, the main reason is that Tang Yu didn't hide it from him at all.

Did they really think that the tricks played by a mere mortal like me would go unnoticed by Guanyin Bodhisattva?

The reason she didn't notice was that, at that moment, he had activated the Heavenly Secrets Concealment Formation.

"Wukong, you'll know what it is later. Your master will only tell you one thing: follow your master, and you'll have meat to eat," Tang Yu said.

Sun Wukong vaguely sensed that his master was also plotting against the Buddhist Sect, doing something incredible.

He just found it strange, what could this weak and frail monk, who couldn't even lift a chicken, possibly do?

Any random deity or Buddha could blow him away with a single breath.

Yet, Tang Yu's face was filled with an air of utter confidence.

They had barely left the Black Bear Spirit's cave.

The System's prompt sound immediately rang out.

And it was two of them!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for altering the Buddhist Sect's Journey to the West trajectory and plundering fortune from the Buddhist Sect."

"Reward: 200,000 Fortune Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for altering the Buddhist Sect's Journey to the West trajectory and plundering fortune from the Buddhist Sect."

"Reward: 200,000 Fortune Points!"

Huh? Why so much this time?

These two changes directly gave him 400,000 Fortune Points.

However, Tang Yu understood that the previous two times were for forming the Journey to the West team. He had made minor changes, each time rewarding him 100,000 Fortune Points.

These two times, however, were the true beginning of the tribulation, and the rewards were naturally much greater.

Tang Yu chuckled gleefully. He had thought he was poor just moments ago, but now he was glorious again and could start causing trouble.

The two difficult trials set by the Buddhist Sect had not been completed.

Furthermore, Tang Yu had resolved them with extremely clever maneuvers, making it effortless, and even Sun Wukong had barely exerted himself.

Spirit Mountain!

Great Thunderclap Monastery!

At this moment, an eerie silence prevailed. Tathagata Buddha felt that things were becoming increasingly unexpected and out of control.

He had also seen Guanyin Bodhisattva's actions, her ability to adapt the script and bewitch the Black Bear Spirit into abducting Tang Sanzang.

Tathagata Buddha couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs-up.

He even couldn't help but think, Venerable Guanyin truly understands my heart.

He then glanced at the assembled Buddhas of Spirit Mountain and sighed softly, his meaning clear: if even one of you had half of Venerable Guanyin's wit, I wouldn't have to worry about everything myself.

The subsequent plot could be described as a dramatic twist, of course, a twist that favored Tang Yu.

They saw Tang Sanzang willingly walk into the Black Bear Spirit's cave, after which the Black Bear Spirit put on the Golden Fillet, called him "Dad," and begged for mercy...

The Buddhas of Spirit Mountain felt as if they had been hit by a heavy club, their heads buzzing.

Especially the Buddha, who even rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing!

"Buddha..."

Guanyin Bodhisattva had returned.

Tathagata Buddha said, "No need to say more. I already know everything."

Seeing that the Buddha was not blaming her, Guanyin Bodhisattva secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Buddha, I suspect the variable is very likely Tang Sanzang!"

She increasingly looked down on Tang Sanzang, as he repeatedly disturbed her state of mind.

She already felt her state of mind becoming more and more unstable.

If this continued, it would be very dangerous, and her cultivation might never break through again.

"If Tang Sanzang is the variable, will he play himself to death?"

Upon hearing the Buddha's words, Guanyin Bodhisattva fell silent.

Yes, even if he's a variable, he shouldn't be playing with his life like this.

"I can only hope that no more problems arise in the next tribulation," Tathagata Buddha's tone carried a prayer.

Even he was somewhat uncertain, which showed that the Journey to the West was no longer under his control.

It was truly strange. Not long ago, when Tang Sanzang departed from the Great Tang, they had been full of confidence and conviction.

Once the Journey to the West was completed, their Buddhist Sect would finally stand tall.

But before long, accident after accident occurred.

All of this felt like a series of slaps, repeatedly striking the Buddhist Sect in the face.

They were all stunned, and what was even more terrifying was that they didn't know who was delivering these slaps, which was quite vexing.

The variable was hiding behind them, and they didn't know when it would suddenly jump out and do something detrimental to the Buddhist Sect.

"Could it be Sun Wukong? That monkey has always been unruly," Guanyin Bodhisattva suspected Sun Wukong again. This monkey's audacity was growing, and he even dared to lay hands on her.

Especially now that the Golden Fillet was gone, she couldn't control him.

If this monkey truly became powerful, he would definitely dare to storm the Western Heaven.

Tathagata Buddha performed a divination but found no anomalies, yet everything was uncertain now.

Anyone could be suspected.

It was more likely that the variable wasn't among the Journey to the West party, but was hiding in the shadows, manipulating everything. That was truly terrifying!

"It shouldn't be Sun Wukong," Tathagata Buddha said uncertainly. "We'll let this monkey be for now; he can't stir up much trouble. We'll find a way to control him a bit later."

Sun Wukong had limitless potential and must be kept within the control of the Buddhist Sect.

The Thirty-third Heaven.

Taishang Laojun couldn't help but smile as he watched Tang Yu's actions. He had even secretly intervened to help Tang Yu conceal the Heavenly Secrets.

What Tang Yu was doing was beneficial to him without any harm, so it was natural for him to offer some assistance.

It was becoming more and more interesting, and he eagerly anticipated the rest of the Journey to the West.

However, what he anticipated even more was Tathagata Buddha discovering Tang Yu's identity as the variable, and yet not daring to kill him.

He wondered what kind of expression Tathagata would have at that moment.

And then there were the two Sages of the West. The main character of the Journey to the West Tribulation, which they had planned for many years, had actually become a variable, and was secretly setting up the Buddhist Sect; this was truly interesting.

At this moment, Tang Yu was completely unaware of how others were plotting against him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared.

He rode the donkey backward, contemplating the next tribulation.

The next tribulation would be for the second idiot.

Gao Family Village was not far away...

His second disciple, the second idiot, was still waiting for him there
