Everything in this world has Karma; whether it is a living thing or an inanimate object, it inevitably has its own Causality Line.
The wind blows through the trees, and the trees move with the wind; thus, there is Karma between the wind and the trees.
Everything has Karma, and a person without Karma simply does not exist. Or conversely, a person who does not exist is the Karma do not exist.
Ling Yi was clearly standing right in front of him, clearly present, so why was there no Karma between them?
Even Guanyin couldn't understand why, no matter how hard she racked her brains.
At that moment, Guanyin suddenly realized something: this person had no Karma, so wasn't he the perfect candidate to sabotage the Journey to the West?
"Amitabha Buddha, Tathagata the Tathagata Buddha is so wary of you."
Guanyin believed she had seen through the cause and effect, so she stopped worrying. Ling Yi could not be allowed to live; he was destined to die.
But just as Guanyin was about to make her move, she suddenly felt a familiar force acting on her, and at the same time, a hand landed on her shoulder from behind.
Guanyin was shocked and tried to use her powers, but found that almost all of her Magic Power was imprisoned.
A familiar yet unfamiliar energy surged into her body, causing her to completely lose control of it.
Guanyin knew that the real mastermind had appeared.
"You are the first!" A hoarse voice rang in Guanyin's ears.
"Remember my name, I am Motian, and I will become your nightmare."
Guanyin, being a seasoned powerhouse, remained calm and asked, enunciating each word clearly, " The Calamity cannot be broken; this is the Heavenly Dao. No matter who you are, do you think you can defy the Way of Heavenly Dao?"
"Heh, Heavenly Dao, that selfish fool? I'll let you go, but I'll destroy him sooner or later."
"I hope you can return to Spirit Mountain alive."
As soon as she finished speaking, Guanyin felt her Magic Power being completely devoured in the blink of an eye.
No, it was just her Magic Power. Her entire being was almost drained of energy and spirit at that moment, leaving Guanyin feeling weaker than ever before. She was forcibly turned into A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Ling Yi was stunned by this scene; his own Cosmic Power actually had a devouring function?
The next moment, Ling Yi received the information Sharing by his Clone, and was overjoyed.
This Cosmic Power is far more domineering than he imagined.
"Don't touch this piece of mine again, or I won't hesitate to wipe out Spirit Mountain first."
Clone finished speaking, it turned around and left with Ling Yi, leaving only Guanyin, pale-faced, wrinkled, withered, and gray-haired, standing there in fear and Guanyin.
All her magical treasures, including the Jade Purification Vase, had disappeared, but they remained, though she was unable to open or use them without her Magic Power.
Just then, a Wolf Howl came from the depths of the forest, and Guanyin shuddered.
She became A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, and thus became the ant she often spoke of.
Meanwhile, at Five Elements Mountain, as Guanyin Magic Power dissipated, the illusory Clone Guanyin left behind also vanished.
Manjushri and Samantabhadra exchanged a glance, realizing something was wrong; Guanyin had probably been reborn.
This illusory Clone disintegrated directly, rather than being actively canceled by Guanyin herself.
These illusory Clone can be maintained indefinitely as long as Guanyin wishes, without consuming much Magic Power.
Now the illusion has dissipated, but Guanyin has not returned...
The two spread their Divine Sense and quickly discovered Ling Yi rushing back.
How come this ant is alright?
As their Divine Sense expanded, they quickly located Guanyin's location. Upon seeing Guanyin's appearance, the two were immediately shocked and, without hesitation, flew towards Guanyin's direction.
At their speed, it would only take them a moment to arrive in front of Guanyin.
"Amitabha!" Manjushri and Samantabhadra were even more shocked when they saw Guanyin's appearance with their own eyes.
Before the two could ask anything, Guanyin looked behind them in alarm and cried out, "Be careful!"
But it was too late!
The Clone Motian used the same method, pressing down on the shoulders of the two men with one hand each, directly absorbing their Magic Power and life essence, turning them into A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
And this was the first time Guanyin had ever seen what Motian looked like.
He was dressed in Black Robe, half of his face was covered by a hood, and his eyes, hidden beneath the hood, Yinyin emitted a red light.
His entire body was shrouded in black mist, burning and rising like Huoyan.
"Three!" Motian's hoarse voice rang out.
Good luck, you ants!
After Motian's figure disappeared, the three looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long pause, Guanyin said, "This matter must be informed to Buddha Tathagata as soon Tathagata."
Manjushri and Samantabhadra smiled wryly and pointed behind Guanyin. Guanyin turned around and saw dozens of pairs of green eyes.
The disappearance of Guanyin and the other two did not affect the man-made disaster of the excavation project at Five Elements Mountain.
When Ling Yi returned, the people had already dug a small pit, but it would still take quite some time before they could completely dig out Son Goku.
Upon seeing Ling Yi return, Tang Sanzang, who had Meditation, opened his eyes and asked, "Benefactor Ling Yi, where is the prey?"
Son Goku, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Tang Sanzang call Ling Yi's name.
He looked at Ling Yi, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Son Goku had already Entry the Great Universe Visualization Method, and all his Magic Power had been transformed into the Cosmic Power.
Others couldn't Perception it, but Son Goku could clearly Perception the same Aura within Ling Yi's body.
Son Goku had realized that this Ling Yi was the same Ling Yi from before.
Although they didn't know Ling Yi's purpose, now was clearly not the time to ask.
Son Goku closed his eyes and entered a meditative state once more.
" Guanyin wants to kill me!" Ling Yi's voice was somewhat cold. Without even glancing at Tang Sanzang, he sat cross-legged on a blue stone and began to Meditation.
Tang Sanzang opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
A surge of anger and guilt flashed through my mind.
"Amitabha, they really are a group of good Buddhas," Tang Sanzang said through gritted teeth.
He then realized that not only was Guanyin gone, but Manjushri and Samantabhadra were also gone, and it was easy to imagine what they had gone to do.
Tang Sanzang never expected that Guanyin and the others would be so determined to kill Ling Yi, even going so far as to have the three Bodhisattvas attack simultaneously.
But Tang Sanzang quickly realized, if the three Bodhisattvas failed to kill Ling Yi, what about Guanyin and the other two?
Could it be...?
Tang Sanzang looked at Ling Yi with surprise and curiosity in his eyes. For the first time, he realized that he might have misjudged him. This Ling Yi was definitely not A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
Just then, a strange energy Aura suddenly rose from Ling Yi's body.
"This is!" Tang Sanzang stood up abruptly and took a few steps toward Ling Yi, but the next moment, he felt a familiar sensation of his Magic Power being imprisoned.
Although it only restricted one-tenth of his Magic Power, there was no doubt that it was exactly the same as the strange energy field that enveloped Five Elements Mountain.
Tang Sanzang took a few steps back, not disturbing Ling Yi.
Since Ling Yi has clashed with Buddhist School, he is at least not an enemy; perhaps they could cooperate.
In reality, when practicing the Inner Universe Visualization Method, there is absolutely no leakage of energy.
Take Son Goku for example; he has already Entry of the Inner Universe Visualization Method, but no one has noticed.
Ling Yi did this on purpose, mainly to impress Tang Sanzang.
Ling Yi finally finished his cultivation the next morning. The black aura around him suddenly appeared and disappeared, startling Tang Sanzang was watching from a distance.
This swirling black mist doesn't seem like some legitimate martial arts technique.
Ling Yi opened his eyes, stopped his practice, stood up, and then walked towards Tang Sanzang.
Although Ling Yi's Aura wasn't strong, Tang Sanzang inexplicably felt threatened.
I couldn't help but want to back away.
"Holy Monk, I think we need to talk."
"Amitabha... uh, okay, shall we talk here?"
"I almost died last night, thanks to Guanyin!" Ling Yi made no attempt to hide anything, letting the thirty-nine "tools" hear him.
"But at the last moment, a mysterious Black Robe named Motian appeared."
"Could Guanyin have been killed?"
"No!" Ling Yi shook his head, "But almost."
"The Motian transformed Guanyin into A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality without any Magic Power, but the mountains and forests are teeming with Beast, so Guanyin's chances of survival are slim."
Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded. Really? Was that Motian really that powerful?
"That Motian said I was his pawn!" Ling Yi's expression was cold, and he bit his lip, seemingly very unwilling.
Tang Sanzang patted Ling Yi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Who isn't a pawn in a game?"
"That Motian threatened Guanyin, saying that if anything happened to me, he would destroy Spirit Mountain ahead of schedule."
"Amitabha Buddha, this is truly domineering."
"However, this is good news for Benefactor Ling. At least until the Buddhist School has figured out the true nature of Motian, they won't dare to touch you."
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "Fate must always be in your own hands."
"I need to become stronger, stronger than everyone else, only then can I control my own destiny."
"What you say is very true, benefactor!" Jin Chanzi nodded in agreement. He suddenly realized that he knew far too little about Ling Yi.
The fact that he could say such things suggests that he was quite knowledgeable. However, the two rarely communicated, and Tang Sanzang always treated Ling Yi as a bodyguard.
"I heard from Guanyin that the one who wanted to kill me was the Tathagata, but I don't know why."
"Is it because you have a connection with that Motian?"
"This is the first time I've met Motian."
"That's true. Do you have some unknown secret?"
Ling Yi shook his head, feigning ignorance. He knew the reason, but Tathagata didn't say it, it would be difficult for others to guess.
Ling Yi naturally wouldn't reveal this beforehand. The purpose of all his fuss was to gradually move from being an invisible figure behind the scenes to the forefront and become the mastermind behind everything.
Motian is merely a prelude.
Although Tang Sanzang was unhappy with Buddhist School and Spirit Mountain, it was only out of resentment at being a pawn. It was not accurate to say that he had an irreconcilable feud with Spirit Mountain.
Son Goku is in the same situation.
In Ling Yi's view, this is far from enough, but it's too early to talk about these things now.
The Motian openly disrupts the Journey to the Journey to the West, trying to delay the Journey to the West Calamity as much as possible.
When the time was right, Li Er raised his voice, proclaimed himself Human Emperor, and directly changed the world.
As for myself, it's enough to maintain my public image during this period.
As for what to do if I'm being watched by the Heavenly Dao during this period?
Heh, the Heavenly Dao can't Perception me, and with my infinite number of Substitute-Death Clone, what can the Heavenly Dao do?
In a fit of rage, Ling Yi immediately unleashed his Clone across the entire Primordial World, causing chaos.
When the time comes, the Earthly Dao will be released, Human Dao will be restored, and then the Earthly Dao and Human Dao will be used together to suppress the Heavenly Dao...
Whether it's the Primordial World or Journey to the West, or even the Heavenly Dao within the Primordial World Journey to the West World, it has always been doing one thing: extinguishing the potential of living beings.
Ultimately, it leads to the end of Dharma, turning the world into a closed prison.
Ling Yi wanted to see how far the beings of this world would go if they were no longer bound by the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.
Whether it is still the end of the Dharma era or a further step forward, Ling Yi expressed his anticipation.
Over the next few months, Ling Yi became even more "diligent" in his cultivation, and Tang Sanzang, moved by Ling Yi's efforts, also began to cultivate diligently.
After four months, Son Goku was finally unearthed!
