Guanyin was too lazy to pay attention to Tang Sanzang, mainly because she was still afraid of being tricked by Tang Sanzang last time.
Not only did I waste two drops of the Three Lights Divine Water, but I also lost a lot of Merit. It was a huge loss.
If it weren't for the fact that Tang Sanzang couldn't die yet, Guanyin would have killed Tang Sanzang long ago.
Guanyin and her two companions landed before the Five Elements Mountain. Bodhisattva Manjushri said, "The Buddha sent us to rescue the Great Sage."
Manjushri's words startled Guanyin, who instantly realized that her previous guess had probably come true: there was a problem with Five Elements Mountain, and the Buddha Tathagata could not take it away directly.
Samantabhadra glanced at the Buddhist scroll on the Five Elements Mountain, then looked at Son Goku, who was being suppressed below.
"This humble monk will first remove the Buddha's image."
As he spoke, he took flight and instantly arrived at the summit of Five Elements Mountain. As soon as he landed, Samantabhadra was startled.
Sure enough, something strange happened at Five Elements Mountain.
He clearly felt that his Magic Power almost disappeared the moment his legs touched the Five Elements Mountain.
However, the rest of the body was unaffected.
As Samantabhadra flew up and down several times, he became increasingly certain that the Five Elements Mountain was covered by an invisible force, and that any contact with this unknown force would render his Magic Power useless.
However, apart from that, nothing else was affected.
Samantabhadra, hovering atop the Five Elements Mountain, addressed Guanyin and Manjushri below, saying, "There is a mysterious force on this mountain that greatly affects Magic Power, but its range is limited, and Shadowless..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his Magic Power suddenly fall into a deathly silence, and he fell directly from the sky, crashing onto the rocks of Five Elements Mountain.
It tumbled and rolled all the way from the mountaintop to the bottom, landing right in front of Son Goku.
Manjushri and Guanyin were shocked and were about to step forward, but Samantabhadra stopped them by waving his hand.
"Don't come any closer. The area has suddenly expanded, and at least 80% of my Magic Power is currently restricted."
Samantabhadra was not injured, after all, he still had 20% of his Magic Power. Moreover, having cultivated to such a level, his body was already incredibly strong, so even without Magic Power, he would not be injured.
Samantabhadra Keep Running quickly away. He didn't want to stay in this strange place any longer. If someone attacked him now, even a lowly Earth Immortal could take his life, regardless of their cultivation level.
After walking about a hundred meters, Samantabhadra's Magic Power instantly recovered, which relieved him.
"Eighty percent of his Magic Power will be imprisoned, but so far there seems to be no means of attack. The person behind this must simply want to trap Son Goku here."
Samantabhadra frowned as he analyzed the situation.
Although they were unaware that this Calamity also involved the Karmic Luck the Human Clan, they were aware of Son Goku's Merit in mending the heavens.
It's not just them who know; many people know it.
Their first thought was that someone was unhappy that Buddhist School had taken credit for mending the Merit.
Yes, it's just dissatisfaction, not a lack of desire.
However, every extra day of delay could lead to more unforeseen events, since no one has stipulated when the Journey to the West Calamity will end.
After studying it for a long time, the group did manage to summarize some patterns.
Within a hundred meters of Five Elements Mountain, not only will Magic Power be imprisoned, but all Magic Power techniques will also be greatly reduced.
The technique that could normally easily blast down a mountain could only create a small crater the size of a palm, and that was when attacking close to the ground.
The effect is greater when Magic Power leaves the body; if it leaves the body by three meters, the Magic Power will dissipate completely, and there will be no attack power left.
" Guanyin, what should we do?" Manjushri and Samantabhadra asked Guanyin.
Guanyin sighed and said, "Dig!"
"Dig?"
"Yes, since there is a power to imprison Magic Power here, the Magic Power of the Buddha's seal will inevitably be greatly weakened, and the Buddha's sealing power over Five Elements Mountain will not be as strong as before."
"We'll find some tools; just enough to dig open this area, enough for Son Goku to escape."
The two nodded. Although the method was a bit clumsy, it was indeed the best option at the moment.
Following Guanyin's command, the thirty-nine "tools"—the Four Duty Officers, the Five Directional Jiedi, the Six Ding and Six Jia, Eighteen Dharma-Protecting Jialan— made their appearance once again.
As Bodhisattvas, Guanyin and her two companions naturally couldn't bring themselves to dig in the soil, so these thirty-nine laborers were just the right amount of help.
Compared to Guanyin and the other two, these thirty-nine "tools" were far weaker. In the Dharma-Ending Domain, their remaining Magic Power was almost equivalent to that of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
These thirty-nine people, some with swords, some with hammers, some with sticks, some with shovels, all sorts of weapons, began to Digging under Son Goku.
They can indeed dig, but the efficiency is too low. At this rate, it will probably take at least three to five months before they succeed.
However, Son Goku was not at all discouraged at this moment; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited.
Others didn't know what kind of power it was, but Son Goku had already guessed it.
It is precisely the Cosmic Power in the Inner Universe Visualization Method.
After realizing that this was the Cosmic Power, Son Goku also realized that Ling Yi was behind it all.
Previously, Son Goku dared not cultivate, and was very wary.
But now, seeing how incredibly powerful the Cosmic Power, he was tempted.
Even the perfect-grade Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Formula could only bring his strength close to the Quasi-Sage Middle Stage.
Is the strength of Quasi-Sage Middle Stage weak? Not really. They may not be invincible, but they are strong enough to protect themselves.
But what Son Goku wanted was invincible power, the strength to crush everything.
The Son Goku of today is no longer the ignorant stone monkey of Wu Bai years ago.
Thinking back to how he had been mocked like a fool by Heavenly Immortal, Son Goku felt boundless shame.
He needs power; as for the rest, thinking about it is pointless.
So, while everyone was digging up the Five Elements Mountain, Son Goku was secretly cultivating his Inner Universe Visualization Method.
Some are digging mountains, some are cultivating, and some are eating barbecue.
Of course, only Tang Sanzang and Ling Yi dared to eat barbecue with this group of monks.
With nothing else to do, Guanyin couldn't help but start plotting against Ling Yi again.
Compared to Son Goku, the Buddha Tathagata was clearly more concerned about Tathagata Ling Yi lived or died.
Ling Yi is nothing but a A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, an ant. If Guanyin is given a chance, she can kill him. As long as she uses subtle methods, she can easily deceive Tang Sanzang.
The most important thing now is how to separate the two of them.
Either lure Tang Sanzang away, or let Ling Yi leave alone for a while.
As if he had overheard Guanyin's thoughts, Ling Yi said to Tang Sanzang, who was happily eating, "Holy Monk, we don't have much meat left. I'll go hunt some game."
Tang Sanzang waved his hand but did not speak.
Tang Sanzang had been secretly observing Ling Yi during this time, but apart from Ling Yi's superior mortal Kung Fu Hustle, he didn't find anything special about him.
This was just an A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality without any Magic Power; Tang Sanzang didn't think he could be wrong about that.
He was just one step away from becoming Quasi-Sage.
During this period, Tang Sanzang's food was mainly obtained by Ling Yi through hunting.
Although Ling Yi is no match for monsters, he is adept at hunting ordinary Beast.
Especially the bow in his hand, which was incredibly powerful and accurate, was a testament to his superb skill.
So when Ling Yi suggested going hunting, Tang Sanzang didn't think much of it.
Tang Sanzang was unaware that Ling Yi was now on the Buddhist School's kill list.
After all, in Tang Sanzang's eyes, Ling Yi was just a A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality knew some martial arts. What influence could a A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality have on Buddhist School?
The fact that Guanyin wanted to kill Ling Yi before, in retrospect, was most likely a warning to herself after Tang Sanzang.
After all, he had really disgraced Buddhist School during this period. As Tathagata disciple of Buddha and now the destined pilgrim, he could be considered the representative and face of Buddhist School.
He's practically broken every rule and precept now. Even if he can't die right now, he probably doesn't want to let himself continue like this, right?
Moreover, Guanyin had not appeared for more than half a month, which made Tang Sanzang lower his guard. Her appearance this time was also for the sake of this monkey. Tang Sanzang never thought that Guanyin would take action against Ling Yi again.
Ling Yi has also been considering his future plans during this time.
He couldn't follow Tang Sanzang as A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality forever; he needed to gradually demonstrate his strength.
And gradually became a leader in the team.
If he remains in a A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality state, he will gradually become invisible in the team, without even a voice.
After Ling Yi left everyone's sight, he immediately created a Clone. As soon as the Clone appeared, his body underwent a transformation.
Hooded, Black Robe, his entire body shrouded in rising black mist.
"This image is perfect. From now on, you shall be called Motian!"
The Clone, its half-face hidden under the hood, gave a wicked smile before slowly Invisibility.
Ling Yi planned to use this Clone openly to cause trouble, with the main purpose of openly disrupting the Journey to the West.
Ling Yi carried his longbow and walked further and further away...
At the same time, Guanyin also Transformation a Clone that remained in place, while her main body Invisibility and headed in the direction Ling Yi had left.
When Guanyin found Ling Yi Ling Yi, she happened to see him shoot and kill a wild boar with an arrow.
"You insignificant ant, I truly don't know what secrets you hold that would make Tathagata the Buddha so wary of you."
Guanyin landed directly in front of Ling Yi Ling Yi, looking at him arrogantly.
"What do you mean?" Ling Yi asked, feigning ignorance.
"Why did you choose to travel west with Tang Sanzang?" Guanyin was very curious about Ling Yi, so she did not make a move immediately.
"I am a guard specially dispatched by His Majesty the Emperor of Tang to escort the holy monk!"
"If you speak, this humble monk can grant you a swift end; if you do not speak, this humble monk will tear your soul from my body and torment you day after day, making you unable to live or die, suffering endless torment for a thousand or ten thousand years."
Listen to this, is this human speech? These Buddhas really shouldn't exist.
But thinking about it, it's understandable. Who founded Buddhist School? And who are those two behind Spirit Mountain?
As the saying goes, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too," which illustrates this point.
"Bodhisattva, I am but a A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality. If you do not wish for me to follow the holy monk, I will return to the Great Tang immediately."
Ling Yi feigned fear and whispered.
Guanyin frowned. No matter how she looked at it, this person was just A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, without any Magic Power whatsoever. She was certain she was not wrong about that.
However, there was something strange about Ling Yi, but Guanyin couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Whether Ling Yi is unwilling to say it or unable to say it, a simple calculation will suffice.
Previously, when Ling Yi was by Tang Sanzang's side, the heavenly secrets were in chaos and could not be calculated due to the influence of the Calamity. However, now that Ling Yi has left Tang Sanzang, there is no problem in making calculations.
Ling Yi watched Guanyin's actions and couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that some of his secrets were about to be exposed.
As expected, Guanyin's calculation revealed a problem.
"Amitabha Buddha, how is it possible that you have never been tainted by any Karma?"
When you deduce about others, what are you deduce? You are deduce Karma. By following the Causality Line, you can deduce the origin and background of the target.
But Ling Yi didn't have a single Causality Line on his body.
