"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, this humble monk Guanshiyin greets you."
The Bodhisattva nodded to Xu Long and, at his invitation, entered the Golden Light Cave.
"What brings you here, Bodhisattva?"
Xu Long Open Gate, without the slightest pretense or evasion.
"This humble monk has come here for Son Goku."
Bodhisattva Guanyin didn't mince words and answered Xu Long's question directly.
" Son Goku?"
Upon hearing her words, Xu Long immediately understood.
Son Goku was one of the most important candidates for the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and he would absolutely not be replaced unless absolutely necessary.
Xu Long took Son Goku as his disciple before he did at Mount Ling in the Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, and taught him all his skills. This karmic connection was established, and Xu Long's cooperation was required for everything that followed.
Otherwise, a great war will surely break out, and the Western Heaven Spirit Mountain absolutely does not want to see that happen.
"I don't know what mistake my disciple has made to offend the Bodhisattva. I will take full responsibility for all his wrongdoings, and I hope the Bodhisattva will not make things difficult for him."
Xu Long acted as if he cared for his disciple, which made Bodhisattva Guanshiyin feel very uncomfortable.
The more Xu Long acts like this, the more trouble he'll cause when it comes to negotiating terms later.
Conversely, if Xu Long appears completely indifferent to his apprentice's life or death, things will be much easier.
"This is a momentous event concerning the rise and fall of our Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, and it will not only not harm Son Goku, but will actually greatly benefit him. I hope you will cooperate, fellow Daoist."
Bodhisattva Guanyin briefly recounted the story of the journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and then observed Xu Long's reaction.
His brows were furrowed, and his expression was displeased.
Xu Long's expression made Bodhisattva Guanyin very nervous; if Xu Long was unwilling to cooperate, the matter would basically be over.
The journey to the Western Heaven to obtain Buddhist scriptures was crucial to the rise and fall of Buddhism, and no mishaps could be tolerated.
If we really can't reach an agreement, then we'll have to resort to force.
But is it possible?
Bodhisattva Guanyin felt uneasy, because just as she had that thought, a sense of crisis suddenly arose, startling her so much that she couldn't help but tremble.
Bodhisattva Guanyin had no doubt that if she dared to make a move, she would surely die here today.
"It's not impossible for Goku to go with you, but what will your Western Heaven offer in exchange?"
Xu Long looked at Bodhisattva Guanyin and began to extort money from her.
If the conditions offered by the other party are not satisfactory, Xu Long would rather turn against Spirit Mountain.
That's my own apprentice, whom I personally trained; I have to sell him for a good price.
Bodhisattva Guanyin was in great distress. According to the Buddha's calculations, Son Goku should have been born soon, but for some reason, he was born three years earlier than expected.
Not only did it happen ahead of schedule, but he also inexplicably became the disciple of Taiyi Zhenren.
After much bargaining, the deal was finally struck.
In addition to a thousand Spirit Stone, the Western Heaven Spirit Mountain must provide assistance unconditionally once.
After seeing Bodhisattva Guanyin off, Xu Long looked up into the distance.
The telekinetic power extended Wuji and quickly located Yang Jian and the others.
Erlang Shen truly lived up to his Erlang Shen, wielding his Vajra Divine Axe as easily as chopping melons and vegetables, killing nine of the Ten Golden Crows. If Chang'e hadn't intervened, the remaining one would have died as well.
After killing the Golden Crow, the next step was to ascend to Heaven and kill the Jade Emperor.
At this critical moment, the Jade Emperor disregarded everyone's objections and insisted on opening the Heavenly Gate to release the Weak Water.
The Weak Water is the embodiment of love, but it is also the weakest water in the world.
White feathers cannot float, fallen leaves sink to the bottom.
If it were to enter the human world, it would surely cause widespread suffering and destruction.
At that time, the entire world will be littered with corpses, and countless people will lose their lives because of the Jade Emperor's shamelessness and selfishness.
Xu Long would rather the Jade Emperor die than those innocent humans.
In Xu Long's eyes, a cruel, ruthless, despicable, and cold-blooded king was less than a dog.
Using Instant Transmission, Xu Long arrived in the Heaven Realm. He took out the Demon-Sealing Formation Diagram and began pouring energy into it.
Demon-Sealing Formation Diagram: This Demon-Sealing Formation diagram only requires sufficient energy to set up Grand Demon-Sealing Formation. It costs 50,000 points and one A-rank Permission Card to redeem. 3/3 usage attempts remain.
This thing is simple and convenient to use, and it's especially suitable for people like Xu Long.
He wanted to envelop the entire Heavenly Court, making it a place where no one could leave once they entered, and no one could escape.
When the Jade Emperor opens the Heavenly Gate and releases the Weak Water, he will first flood the Heavenly Court.
After consuming a full six hundred Spirit Stone, Xu Long finally stopped.
This area is already large enough; there's no need to waste any more space.
The plot didn't change much; Yang Jian stormed the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor opened the floodgates.
The Heavenly River is incredibly vast, and the Weak Water is even more terrifying in size.
As if the heavens and earth were collapsing, as if the ocean were overturning, a terrifying torrent of water surged forth, instantly destroying the dam.
Although the Jade Emperor, the Yuanshi Tianzun, the Great Emperor Taiji, and even many powerful figures from the Western Heaven Spirit Mountain, all stand at the pinnacle of this world, the strongest among them is none other than the Weak Water.
Unfortunately, the Weak Water is the embodiment of love, Innate has a great inherent flaw.
Not only can they not fully control their own bodies, but they are also extremely susceptible to external influences.
Surging and surging, unstoppable.
Rock formations, celestial soldiers and generals—nothing can stop the Weak Water.
As the saying goes, people strive to rise higher, while water flows downhill.
The Heavenly Court is built nine thousand miles above the human world, Weak Water, which flows from the Heavenly River, will inevitably flow to the human world.
If left unchecked, it will bring disaster to all directions, which is why many Kami, including Marshal Tianpeng, opposed opening the Heavenly Gate.
However, the Jade Emperor was autocratic and didn't care about anything else in order to kill Yang Jian.
Once the floodgates were opened, the situation was destined to spiral out of control.
Xu Long was extremely angry about the Jade Emperor's actions, but he also knew the reason.
His doctrine is "to sweep away all injustice and kill all the villains under heaven," while the Jade Emperor's doctrine is "Heavenly might is like a prison, supreme and unsurpassed."
To uphold the dignity of Heavenly Court and for his own path, he didn't care even if it meant widespread suffering among humankind.
As for why he didn't kill Yang Jian himself, Xu Long didn't understand either.
The conflict between him and the Jade Emperor is irreconcilable. As long as Xu Long does not leave this world, a life-or-death battle is inevitable.
In this way, Xu Long was able to make preparations in advance.
boom!
An endless torrent of Weak Water surged forth, but when it was about to flow into the human world, it was blocked.
Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?
A woman's figure emerged from the Weak Water, her beautiful face bearing a hint of confusion.
" Weak Water, if you were to descend to the mortal realm, you would surely cause widespread suffering. I know you are kind-hearted by nature, and you probably wouldn't want to see such a tragedy!"
Xu Long stood in front, his Power of Pure Yang forming a huge protective shield that firmly blocked it.
The volume of the Weak Water was too enormous; even Xu Long couldn't hold out for long.
It's alright, we just need to give him a little more time to persuade Weak Water.
"No! I don't want to go back to the Heavenly River. It's cold and desolate there. I'm so lonely, so lonely!"
Weak Water roared, and immediately a raging torrent surged up, nearly breaking through Xu Long's protective barrier.
