"Monkey, you've been tricked pretty badly." Tang Sanzang approached Son Goku, his expression somewhat wistful.
Son Goku's expression froze, and he instinctively wanted to bare his teeth at Tang Sanzang, but then, thinking of his current predicament, he immediately put on a pitiful look.
" The Final Master, the Final Master, don't say any more, quickly release Old Sun, Old Sun guarantee your safe journey to the Western Paradise."
"But I don't believe you, what should I do?" Tang Sanzang said, shrugging.
"It was Guanyin's guidance that led Old Sun, to wait here for the pilgrims."
Guanyin, Guanyin, now this monk should believe!
To everyone's surprise, Tang Sanzang shook his head, looking disgusted, and said, "Are you sure Guanyin told you that?"
Son Goku nodded vigorously, his face full of anticipation.
"Then this humble monk will not save him!" Tang Sanzang stood up, turned to Ling Yi beside him, and said, " Ling Yi, this place provides shelter from the wind and rain. Let's rest here tonight and set off tomorrow."
Son Goku was dumbfounded and instinctively asked, "Why?"
Tang Sanzang didn't explain, but Ling Yi said instead, " Guanyin almost killed the Holy Monk before, so the Holy Monk and Guanyin have a grudge."
Son Goku was at a loss for words, his head filled with question marks.
Aren't you and Guanyin from the same family? Why would you have a grudge against Guanyin? And you were almost killed by Guanyin!
Is Guanyin suffering from some serious illness? Why would she kill you? Is she abandoning the Journey to the Journey to the West?
Son Goku tried to salvage the situation, saying, " The Final Master, you saved Old Sun, so I'll help you beat people up from Old Sun on."
"Can you defeat Guanyin?" Tang Sanzang asked, sitting on a Shitou, taking out a piece of dried meat from his backpack on horseback and gnawing on it.
"We can't beat them now, but we'll be able to soon." We have that much confidence.
His understanding of the perfect version of the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art has now reached its peak.
Given time to cultivate, he will surely be able to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and even reach the Quasi-Sage realm.
"Amitabha Buddha, then we absolutely cannot let you out."
Why is that?
"You monkey are so powerful. If I were to release you, you would kill me outright. Wouldn't that be a great injustice to me?"
"Besides, you monkey must have done something wrong to be stuck here. Look at your vicious face; you certainly weren't a good monkey before."
Son Goku suddenly felt very tired. He grinned and said helplessly, "You monk, you're really a nuisance. What will it take for you to let Old Sun out?"
"The key issue now is that I don't trust you. If you can find a reason to earn my trust, I will naturally release you."
Son Goku was at a loss. How could he convince the monk? Should he make Heavenly Dao Oath? But that wasn't something you could just make casually.
Having already been imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for Wu Bai and experienced the pain of losing his freedom, Son Goku absolutely did not want to lose his freedom again.
Ling Yi watched Son Goku and Tang Sanzang bickering from the sidelines and found it quite amusing.
It feels so real.
Ling Yi knew Tang Sanzang's purpose and could also understand Son Goku's thoughts.
Tang Sanzang's true purpose was not to control Son Goku. He knew very well that Son Goku would eventually be released, since Son Goku's enemy was also Tang Sanzang's enemy.
But what Tang Sanzang needed was an attitude from Son Goku, a genuine attitude.
Why would Guanyin want to kill you?
"Amitabha Buddha, monkey, that's a good question."
Son Goku wasn't stupid; he immediately understood the monk's meaning. After thinking for a moment, he said, " My the Final Master's enemies are also Old Sun future enemies."
Tang Sanzang nodded in satisfaction, said nothing, and flew into the sky straight to the top of Five Elements Mountain.
Tang Sanzang stood in front of the "Om Mani Padme Hum" Buddha image, saying nothing, just staring at it.
According to the plot of " Dream Entry," the Buddha sticker should have flown away right now.
Tang Sanzang knew that this thing was extremely important to Tathagata.
It not only contains 30% Tathagata the Buddha's Magic Power, but also the essential meaning of the Six-Syllable Mantra of Buddhist School.
In Jin Chanzi's inner demon's memory, he had been very envious of these Six-Syllable Mantra.
"Why don't you fly away? If you don't fly away, then this humble monk won't be so polite."
" The Final Master, the Final Master, all you need to do is peel off that Buddha image, Old Sun, can get out!"
Tang Sanzang remained motionless for a long time, which made Son Goku anxious again.
"Don't make a sound, this humble monk is busy right now."
Busy? Busy with what? Is anything more important than his freedom right now?
"What is that monk busy with?" Son Goku couldn't see Tang Sanzang from this angle, so he could only ask Ling Yi, who was busy starting Fire Starting nearby.
"I don't know, but it seems the holy monk is quite interested in that Buddhist scroll."
Not only was Tang Sanzang interested, but Ling Yi was also very interested. While Tang Sanzang was studying the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman, Ling Yi was also studying it.
As for why the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman didn't fly away as in the original story, it's because Ling Yi used the Cosmic Power of the Cosmic Power to completely envelop the Five Elements Mountain.
Calling it "Cosmic Power " feels a bit out of place and jarring; " Cosmic Power" would be much better... right?
That's not important!
It was precisely because of the Cosmic Power that the Buddha's scroll was not taken away by Tathagata.
This brings us to the domineering nature of the Cosmic Power.
The Cosmic Power can put any energy in this world into an extremely inert state.
This includes Spiritual Power, Magic Power, the power of Merit, Karmic Force, Demonic Qi, Demon Qi, and even the Power of Karmic Luck.
This is also the conclusion Ling Yi has reached after continuous research over the past few days.
As for what inertia is, simply put, it means that within the range of the Cosmic Power, all available energy is extremely difficult to mobilize.
Ling Yi refers to the area enveloped by the Cosmic Power as the Dharma-Ending Domain.
Although it cannot yet achieve complete "end of Dharma," as Ling Yi's strength continues to improve, it will eventually become a true Dharma-Ending Domain.
No matter how powerful you are, once you enter my Dharma-Ending Domain, you'll all have to give up, not even Sage.
As for now, this Dharma-Ending Domain can probably suppress about 80% of the laws.
That is why the Tathagata was unable to take away the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman.
Of course, Ling Yi's purpose was not just this Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman.
Ling Yi needs time to grow, Li Er needs time, and the plans for the Clone also need time.
If the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman cannot be taken away, then Son Goku will be trapped under the Five Elements Mountain. If Son Goku cannot get out, then Tang Sanzang will naturally be unable to leave as well.
Unless the pilgrimage team abandons Son Goku, but is that even possible?
Son Goku was an indispensable part of the pilgrimage team, and the reason why can be summed up in four words: his Merit in mending the heavens.
Son Goku was born from the stone that mended the heavens, and was born with the Merit mending the Innate.
Although this Merit to mending the sky First Capital, Nüwa didn't even consider it a worthy objection.
This amount of Merit might not have been much in the Primordial World era, but now it would make countless people envious.
Now that the Heavenly Dao is gradually being completed, it is extremely difficult to earn Merit from Heavenly Dao.
Even the Tathagata greatly desired this Merit.
The Buddha's cultivation has reached its limit; Tathagata advance further, he would need to use a cheat code.
For all living beings in the Primordial World, Merit is a panacea, a universal remedy.
For the Tathagata, he wanted both Merit Karmic Luck.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it's impossible to give up on Son Goku, this "leek" (a metaphor for someone easily exploited).
Both Ling Yi and Tang Sanzang were trying to comprehend the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman. Tang Sanzang was comprehending it openly, while Ling Yi was comprehending it secretly.
At that moment, Guanyin, hidden in the air, frowned.
She didn't understand why the Buddhist scroll was still there; she had long been prepared to secretly take action against Ling Yi after Son Goku emerged from the mountain.
When Son Goku emerges from the mountain, the commotion will be immense. Only when he can easily control an extremely fast Shitou to kill Ling Yi will he have fulfilled Tathagata's command.
After all, Ling Yi was nothing more than A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality ant, and he was bound to be caught off guard.
With such a manner of death, Tang Sanzang naturally had nothing to say.
However, things seem a bit off now, and it's not appropriate for her to appear before Tang Sanzang.
After hesitating for a while, Guanyin decided to wait and see.
Although it's unclear why the Tathagata didn't take away the Buddhist scroll, it was only a matter of time.
During the waiting period, Guanyin kept observing Ling Yi, but no matter how she looked at him, Ling Yi was just an ordinary person.
Guanyin couldn't understand what it was about Ling Yi that made Tathagata so wary.
At this moment, in the Spirit Mountain, Tathagata gazed eastward with a gloomy expression.
He had tried countless times, but still couldn't take back the Six-Syllable Mantra Talisman.
He could Perception the presence of the Buddha image, but he couldn't recall it. His magical Magic Power would inexplicably weaken significantly when he got close to the Buddha image.
Not only his Magic Power, but also his Divine Sense will be weakened.
He knew that someone must have intervened secretly, probably Borrow some kind of magic weapon.
The person who can produce such a magical treasure must be someone of extraordinary status, most likely one of the Six Saints.
Tathagata hesitation, the Buddha ultimately did not go to investigate.
On the one hand, if it really is related to a certain Sage, his presence would be of no use.
On the other hand, even if the other party is Sage, they cannot stop this Journey to the West Calamity. The Calamity set by the Heavenly Dao cannot be stopped even by Sage.
It merely delays the Journey to the Journey to the West Calamity; it has no real impact on the overall situation.
However, he was unwilling to give up the Buddha image, which contained thirty percent of his Magic Power.
After a moment's thought, the Tathagata, " Bodhisattva Manjushri, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, go and lend Guanyin a hand to rescue Son Goku from the Five Elements Mountain."
Manjushri and Samantabhadra were both taken aback. Although they did not understand Tathagata the Tathagata would use the word "save," they did not dare to delay. After paying their respects, they immediately left Spirit Mountain.
By the time Manjushri and Samantabhadra arrived, both Tang Sanzang and Ling Yi had already learned the Six-Syllable Mantra.
Tang Sanzang was currently unleashing the Six-Syllable Mantra Technique Wuji.
As one of Tathagata's trump cards, this thing is naturally quite powerful, and Tang Sanzang, after verifying it, expressed great satisfaction.
Ling Yi was also conducting experiments, but he was doing so using his Divine Sense within his Inner Universe.
The Six-Syllable Mantra has different uses for each syllable, whether it be restraint, defense, or offense.
They can also form various combinations, and different combinations have different powers.
Moreover, the Six-Syllable Mantra, empowered by the Cosmic Power, produced some wondrous Changes.
After verifying it, Ling Yi was also very satisfied, which gave him more offensive options.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra did not conceal their presence. As soon as they arrived at Five Elements Mountain, they Perception Guanyin's presence and went straight to Guanyin.
Guanyin had no choice but to frown and exit her Invisibility, looking at Manjushri and Samantabhadra with a puzzled expression.
"Amitabha! So Guanyin has always been here. Were you trying to Sneak Attack my guards?"
