"Brother Jade Emperor, have you figured something out? Quickly tell me, how can we rescue the Queen of Western Liang who is trapped inside? If we can't rescue Western Liang, Tang Sanzang probably won't go on his journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures."
Sun Wukong scratched his head and cheeks, looking anxious.
Haotian laughed heartily.
"You impetuous monkey, calm down. This Kunlun Mirror was created at the beginning of Chaos, when Yin and Yang were first separated. It can reflect the true nature of all things, and it can also trap all things. It is extraordinary. The Queen of Western Liang was trapped willingly. If you want to rescue her, the one who tied the knot must untie it."
"Willingly be trapped?" Sun Wukong had a headache.
"So, we have to find Tang Sanzang then," muttered the Fake Wujing, Xiao Tian.
"Hahaha, in short, no one in my Heavenly Court can help you. This Innate Spirit Treasure cannot be freed from the Western Liang Queen by forcibly destroying it. Violence will only lead to her complete annihilation."
"Thank you so much, Jade Emperor!"
Time waits for no one, so Sun Wukong turned and left.
Within the territory of the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang.
After leaving the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong returned to Mount Jieyang and brought back the deer-antlered demon he had captured and the Kunlun Mirror that had imprisoned the King of Western Liang.
" Little Tang, the one who tied the knot must untie it. I, Old Sun, went to Heaven and asked the Haotian Jade Emperor... He said that you, Little Tang, must break free of the Kunlun Mirror's prison to rescue the Queen."
"Why? How can I save them?" Tang Sanzang asked, puzzled.
"Since ancient times, love has only brought regret. My Queen, you seem to have lost your mind. High monk, please rescue my Queen! Our Western Liang cannot be without a Queen!" the female general sighed.
Upon hearing Tang Sanzang, even someone who didn't understand at all now understood the situation.
" Wukong, none of you can break this Kunlun Mirror?"
Sun Wukong spread his hands and said, "It can be broken, but the Jade Emperor said that acting violently would lead to the complete annihilation of those within. After all, she is just a mortal; when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."
"The old saying by Brother Monkey is quite right."
Afterwards, Sun Wukong and the others left, giving Tang Sanzang and the Kunlun Mirror enough space.
Inside the Kunlun Mirror, the King of Western Liang sat by the river with a sorrowful expression, lost in thought.
"Ah, Your Majesty, how can I save you? Can you hear me?"
Your Majesty!
After several unanswered calls, Tang Sanzang grew distressed.
"What should this humble monk do?"
" Kunlun Mirror, Kunlun Mirror, can you let me in and talk to her?"
The Kunlun Mirror emitted a Jieyin light, which absorbed Tang Sanzang.
"Brother Sanzang."
The King of Western Liang sensed something, turned his head, and saw Tang Sanzang standing beside him, his beautiful eyes wide open.
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
The King of Western Liang's emotions immediately welled up, his expression sorrowful. He turned away from Tang Sanzang and sighed softly, "Our Women's Kingdom of Western Liang has always relied on the Mother-Child River for its continuation, and we have always been indifferent to matters of love between men and women. We had never cared about the love stories written by wandering poets, but these days, I've discovered that love is truly complex..."
"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a nation. You must pull yourself together. If you continue like this, your people will be heartbroken."
The King of Western Liang turned to look at Tang Sanzang, his expression sorrowful. "From childhood, I was raised to be the ruler of the Xiliang Kingdom, forced to follow the established order. For the sake of my people, I couldn't have any of my own thoughts. This kind of life is too tiring. I also long to be like the princess in the book written by the wandering poet, to have the courage to search for the White Dragon Prince..."
Western Heaven, Spirit Mountain, Great Thunderclap Monastery.
Zhunti suddenly had a bad feeling.
" Zhunti, what's wrong with your face? Did you hold your pee? Don't ruin your health, go and relieve yourself. Don't worry, with Jieyin here, I won't cheat."
Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
As Sage, one's body is no longer mortal. To put it bluntly, even if one drank an entire sea dry, not a single drop of urine would be produced. After all, the waste absorbed would be instantly broken down and expelled into the air through the pores of the body, keeping the Saint Physique Muku and holy.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, this joke is not funny at all."
"Heh heh, Zhunti, Jieyin, you guys are being too stingy! I've been here for so long, can't you even prepare some fine wine, jade platters of immortal fruits, or delicious snacks?"
Zhunti Jieyin was a little devastated, knowing that Xiao Tian wouldn't do a deal that would leave him at a disadvantage.
Then, several bodhisattvas brought out celestial fruits and exquisite nectar.
Zhunti went to great lengths to acquire that Chaos Spirit Root, revealing all his resources to avoid being criticized for being stingy.
After all, Zhunti knew that Xiao Tian often went to Five Manors Temple to freeload, which forced Great Immortal Zhenyuan to start developing seed varieties of the Ginseng Fruit Tree to increase its yield.
Time passed, Xiao Tian leisurely ate and drank for free, watching Tang Sanzang and the Queen of Western Liang's dialogue.
"Your Majesty, Sanzang am deeply grateful these past few days. It is Your Majesty who has brought Sanzang a long-lost warmth. However, the journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures must not be abandoned. Sanzang promise you that once I obtain the true scriptures and return to the Great Tang, I will return to Sanzang life. If Your Majesty does not despise this humble monk then, I am willing to accompany you."
Zhunti's face darkened.
" Golden Cicada! You have greatly disappointed me!"
"Hey, Brother Zhunti, don't get angry, but don't cheat!"
Zhunti his anger, Zhunti smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, although that's the case, Golden Cicada's belief in his journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures is unwavering. Shouldn't I still win our bet?"
"Really? I don't think so."
Xiao Tian's expression was mocking.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang's confession made the Queen of Western Liang feel like the happiest woman in the world, but she also began to feel insecure.
The Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, exists only in legends. Even immortals who have attained longevity have never reached it. The journey to the Western Heaven is arduous. Will something happen to Brother Sanzang on the way?
"Brother Sanzang, I'm so scared! I want you to hug me..."
At the Great Thunderclap Monastery, Zhunti and Jieyin's faces turned green.
"That Golden Cicada!"
"Hehe, fellow Daoists, don't get excited, and don't rush to make a move. We should go with the flow; we can't cheat."
Zhunti was even considering starting over with Golden Cicada Chanzi.
That damned Golden Cicada! He actually...!
"Hey, women! Zhunti Daoists Zhunti Jieyin, don't be angry. Men don't have the concept of being whole or incomplete. According to your theories, the body is just a shell, it doesn't matter. You should continue your journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the Western Heaven."
"Hehehe..." Zhunti's laugh was very forced.
Xiao Tian was thoroughly enjoying himself, and the two fellow Daoists beside him looked extremely pleased.
At this moment, Tang Sanzang held the Queen of Western Liang in his arms, feeling both anticipation and fear for the future.
Can the True Mahayana Scriptures of the Great Thunderclap Monastery in the Western Heaven Paradise truly bring happiness and liberation to people?
Having broken his vows, his mind became more agile, and he kept recalling his experiences practicing Buddhism in the Great Tang and on his journey to the Western Heaven.
He recalled that many demons killed by Wukong claimed that his flesh was better than any elixir of immortality, and that eating a piece of his flesh could grant immortality.
"Who spread this rumor that my flesh can grant immortality? Why do so many demons know this?"
"Is this journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures a hoax? Is it a game played by gods and Buddhas to deceive the world?"
At that moment, Tang Sanzang felt as if something was about to burst out of his head.
But the next moment, a loud and majestic Buddhist chant suppressed it.
"No! What is that! This humble monk must find out! This journey to the Western Heaven is full of strange occurrences! Am I not just a puppet being pushed along step by step?"
"I, Tang Sanzang, will be myself!"
Tang Sanzang gazed into the gentle eyes of the King of Western Liang, and suddenly his mind became clear.
"Let's abandon the journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures! This humble monk will go and find out the truth!"
Spirit Mountain trembled!
Zhunti and Jieyin's faces were even more ashen than the black waters of the abyss.
"Yo ho, fellow Daoists, it seems I've won the bet."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Deva Path, you've won. Spirit Mountain is going to be closed."
"Oh, fellow Daoists, don't be sad. Although we can't lose to you in terms of Chaos Spirit Root, for the sake of the West's development, please keep this Innate Spirit Root."
Jieyin Zhunti, Jieyin and Zhunti discovered that it was actually Yellow Central Plum Innate Spirit Root.
In an instant.
The two men's expressions softened considerably, and they repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Xiao Tian.
After Xiao Tian left, Zhunti used magic to erase Tang Sanzang's rebellious thoughts.
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang became cold and heartless in the eyes of the King of Western Liang, who then led his disciples on their journey to the Western Heaven to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures.
From then on, the King of Western Liang hated Tang Sanzang. After grooming a successor for the Queen, he left the Women's Kingdom of Western Liang to search for the sacred land of the Human Clan that the general's sister had mentioned.
" The Sage is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Brother Sanzang's strange changes in expression, and the conversation within the Kunlun Mirror —I must find out the truth about this journey to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures; I must save him!"
Pilgrimage Tower.
A new wave of holy light, radiating throughout all realms, once again obliterated the tools created by the Chaos Otherkind.
At this moment, Xiao Tian felt somewhat dissatisfied.
The third trial of the Undying Deva Path Dao Inheritance has not been completed; the progress indicator shows only halfway through.
Furthermore, the keywords have also changed.
' Stealing Heaven '
Xiao Tian started to get a headache. Did this mean they were going to cause trouble with the Primordial Heavenly Dao?
In addition, just like Trial 1, you need to complete the tasks you choose that contain keywords. The total score is out of 10. If you reach a certain score, you can skip Trial 4 and successfully receive the inheritance to become the Undying Deva Path.
Xiao Tian understood that he couldn't afford to act recklessly now.
"Since it's Stealing Heaven, the only way to improve the overall score is to do tasks related to the Primordial Heavenly Dao."
"Well, we'll have to fight the Primordial Heavenly Dao sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we do it sooner or later. But the Chaos Otherkind are a variable."
Xiao Tian had an idea: to lure the Chaos Otherkind to the surface, ideally causing it to clash with the Primordial Heavenly Dao in a chaotic battle with heavy casualties on both sides, so that he could reap the benefits.
Using the anti-monitoring and spying capabilities of the Immortal Heavenly Dao System, Xiao Tian took advantage of the fact that the Primordial Heavenly Dao was not paying attention to him, and secretly planted a hidden plan. He separated his primordial spirit to create different identities, and then used the disguise capabilities of the Immortal Heavenly Dao System to cause trouble in the myriad worlds and attract the attention of the Chaos Otherkind.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Half a year in the Earth Immortal Realm, while the time dimensions of the myriad worlds are different, in a Great Thousand World called the Goddess Heavenly Realm, Xiao Tian's wisp of primordial spirit disguised itself as a native of this world and became the Asura God King, and came into contact with the spokesperson of the Chaos Otherkind.
City in the Clouds.
This is the Sky City where the supreme Empress of the Great Thousand World Nine Realms resides, towering above the Nine Realms and looking down upon all living beings.
However, due to the appearance of the Asura God King Aotian, the Empress's prestige among the people was greatly affected.
" Aotian, you're dead! Do you know why I became the Empress of the Nine Realms? Because I obtained supreme primal power from the Upper Realm, beyond the Nine Realms! My master will appear and punish you!"
The Nine Realms Empress's eyes were icy as she sneered, "Because you hindered my master's plans!"
Aotian remained calm. The Nine Realms Empress was not tainted by the aura of the Chaos Otherkind, and therefore was not obliterated by the holy light of the Pilgrimage Tower.
"As expected, the Chaos Otherkind had a backup plan for the Pilgrimage Tower, but how could they possibly deceive the Primordial Heavenly Dao's investigation of the Myriad Realms Information Network?"
"Foolish woman, even if you have obtained the power of the upper realm's origin, so what? Your master may not be able to defeat me."
"Hehehe, what a troublesome brat! Don't you want to see the outside world? Although the Nine Realms Nine Realms vast, compared to the true Primordial, they are too small. Submit to me, and I will make you stronger, allowing you to escape this tiny quagmire and travel across mountains and seas."
Pfft!
The Asura God Sword pierced and killed the Nine Realms Empress, Aotian's expression remained cold and indifferent.
"You said it yourself, I want to become the strongest in the Upper Realm!"
He exudes a strong aura of ambition.
The Nine Realms Empress's beautiful eyes widened, filled with resentment.
"Master, save me!"
"Useless trash, you have no value whatsoever! Aotian is the true representative I've been searching for!"
