Western Pure Land: Who Are These Divine Beings?

"Aww! Aww!"

The other two giant snakes let out mournful cries; they had no choice but to flee in all directions.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong did not give chase and let the two giant snakes escape.

"Hmph, trying to escape? No way!" Sun Wukong snorted.

Immediately, Sun Wukong swung his Jingu Bang, knocking the giant snakes unconscious and throwing them into the Heaven and Earth Gourd.

"Patriarch Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi, wake up!"

After throwing the Heaven and Earth Gourd into its space, Sun Wukong quickly went to Patriarch Bodhi's side and shouted loudly.

"Patriarch Bodhi? Patriarch Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi..."

However, Patriarch Bodhi remained in seclusion and showed no reaction.

"Alas, Patriarch Bodhi hasn't woken up yet. We must hurry into the mountain's belly. Only there can we more easily find the three snakes and subdue them. Otherwise, by the time we leave this valley, the three snakes will probably have already escaped and disappeared. Then, finding them again will be even more difficult," Sun Wukong said worriedly.

"Alright, let's go in quickly, "Daji urged impatiently.

"Let's go."

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he and Daji flew towards the sky above the mountaintop, and soon they entered the sky above the mountaintop.

After Sun Wukong and Daji reached the mountain peak, they began to fly rapidly into the depths of the mountain range.

Sun Wukong and Daji were very fast, and soon they flew out of the mountains and into the forest outside.

At this moment, both Sun Wukong and Daji felt incredibly oppressed in the forest. Their faces were extremely pale because the giant snakes in the forest seemed to sense their presence and gathered around them. Soon, Sun Wukong and Daji discovered that the giant snakes had surrounded them, each one baring its fangs and claws, looking ferocious and terrifying, as if they wanted to devour Sun Wukong and Daji, and even Sun Wukong himself.

"Patriarch Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi, these giant snakes seem to want to devour us! What should we do? What should we do now?" Sun Wukong looked at the giant snakes around him and anxiously asked the heavens.

"Amitabha, Wukong, don't be anxious. We can't panic right now. Although these snakes are ferocious beasts from the Demon Realm, they aren't particularly powerful. We don't need to fear them. If we join forces, we can definitely kill these beasts, and then we'll be safe." Patriarch Bodhi pondered for a moment and said to Sun Wukong.

"Patriarch Bodhi, this..." Sun Wukong was taken aback, clearly not quite believing Patriarch Bodhi's words. Sun Wukong noticed that the giant snakes before him were all hideous and disgusting, and Sun Wukong simply didn't believe Patriarch Bodhi's words.

"Hehe, Wukong, we are all the most powerful giant snakes in the Demon Realm. Although these smaller snakes are the most formidable giant snakes in the Demon Realm, you have considerable potential. There's an old friend of mine in the northeast who cultivates the path of the demon god; perhaps he can help you."

Upon seeing Ao Changsheng, Sun Wukong felt as if he had met Sage, and even his lazy demeanor became extremely respectful.

Upon hearing Patriarch Bodhi's words, Sun Wukong did not hesitate and immediately flew towards the northeast direction indicated by Patriarch Bodhi.

Sun Wukong recognized that direction; it was the place they had been before.

The direction indicated by Patriarch Bodhi was not far from the foot of the mountain. In just a few breaths, the two flew to the foot of the mountain.

The giant snake was no longer there, but Sun Wukong sensed three extremely powerful auras.

The lotus-sitting celestial boy at the entrance seemed to have been waiting for some time. "Benefactor, the Dao Ancestor has been waiting for quite some time."

Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a sense of respect. As expected of Bodhi's old friend, his strength was indeed remarkable.

He couldn't help but bow respectfully, saying, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Immortal."

Ao Changsheng was nearing the end of his seclusion, so he sent his Daoist incarnation to meet Sun Wukong.

Upon seeing Ao Changsheng, Sun Wukong felt as if he had met Sage, and even his lazy attitude became extremely respectful.

"Please don't be so formal, benefactor. The Dao Ancestor Master instructed me to convey his message: there's something we can discuss."

"Please tell the Buddha that I will definitely hurry to West Ox Hezhou."

Ao Changsheng nodded. "Then this humble Daoist will take his leave."

"Thank you very much, Immortal Master."

Ao Changsheng walked out of the room and couldn't help but shake his head. This monkey was quite well-behaved; he had only given it a few pointers, and the monkey immediately corrected its mistakes. It was much better than his other disciples. If someone like this could become his disciple, it would be a fortuitous opportunity. However, such a person was not someone who could be accepted casually.

But his figure slowly disappeared at this moment, turning into countless points of light and vanishing into the void.

In the Western Pure Land, Maitreya Buddha calmly looked at his disciples before him, a faint smile on his face, "Did you all hear what was coming from over there? Do you have any thoughts?"

"Replying to Master, I was quite surprised to hear this news. I wonder how Master will deal with this monkey."

"What do you want to do?"

"No matter what, we disciples must kill this monkey."

Maitreya Buddha frowned slightly. "So, you're determined to kill this monkey, but have you considered his identity?"

"We disciples didn't think about it; we only felt that this monster dared to offend our Buddhism, and killing him would not quell our anger!"

"Have you ever considered that if this matter escalates too much, the reputation of Buddhist Order will also be damaged?"

The disciples fell silent for a moment. Maitreya Buddha continued, "Don't forget, he is the protagonist of this Immeasurable Tribulation. If he were to perish, do you think such news would spread?"

"Master is right, we disciples miscalculated this time."

"Since that's the case, do you have any good ideas on how to deal with this person?"

"We disciples dare not speak presumptuously, but Master, we disciples must capture this person and interrogate him thoroughly!"

"Hmm!" Maitreya Buddha nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. I also believe that if this person escapes, he will cause a lot of trouble. I have already instructed that we wait here for him and make sure he is captured!"

"Yes, sir!"

Maitreya Buddha sighed inwardly, "Alas! Although this person is extraordinary, he will ultimately not escape death. Rest assured!"

Sun Wukong came out of the small building and headed down the mountain. Just as he reached the intersection, he suddenly stopped.

Not far away, several Daoist priests were standing at the foot of a mountain, holding bamboo poles and constantly striking the mountaintop, making a thumping sound.
