Chapter 831: Chapter 831
On the desolate mountaintop of Spiritual Mountain, The Buddha felt powerless! For the second time, this was the second time as the founder of Buddhism yet he couldn’t protect the Great Hall?! He helplessly called out: "Anan! Kasyapa!"
Venerable Anan and Kasyapa quickly ran out and stood amidst the ruins below, respectfully responding: "Disciple is here!"
The Buddha weakly said: "Rebuild the Great Leiyin Temple!"
"Honoring Buddha’s decree!" The two venerables responded with respect.
Tang Sanzang and his party walked down towards the base of Spiritual Mountain.
Sun Wukong curiously asked: "Little monk, where are you all going?"
Tang Sanzang, with a slightly aloof yet polite smile, said: "Fighting Saint Buddha, this poor monk is Jin Chanzi not Tang Sanzang, Saint Buddha please address this poor monk as Sandalwood Merit Buddha." After finishing, he floated away.
Sun Wukong was somewhat stunned, muttering: "Is this little monk ill?"
Zhu Bajie explained beside him: "Brother Monkey, Tang Sanzang is the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, now his true spirit has awakened and returned, with Golden Cicada’s return, naturally, he’s no longer Tang Sanzang."
Sun Wukong said dazed: "That little monk is already gone?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI★Fire.net
Sha Wujing also advised: "Senior brother, don’t be saddened, this was destined long ago, no one can change it."
Sun Wukong blinked his slightly red eyes and casually said: "Ha~ Why would I, old Sun, be sad? It’s better that way, saves me from his endless nagging."
"It’s good that Brother Monkey sees it from this perspective, we should visit the Daughter Country to see our master’s daughter sometime, and now we must return to the Heavenly Court to report."
"Senior brother, I’m also heading back to the Heavenly Court."
"Go! Go! Pay a visit to the Judicial Temple for me, tell Yang Jiao and Yang Jian that I will visit them in the Heavenly Court some time later."
"Senior brother, we’ll be waiting for you in the Heavenly Court."
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing cupped their fists in salute, transforming into two streaks of divine light and soaring skyward.
Little White Dragon headed towards the direction of the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
Sun Wukong walked alone towards the base of Spiritual Mountain, the westward journey was over, yet he felt empty, the little monk was no longer a little monk, the pighead and junior brother went to the Heavenly Court, Little White Dragon went to the Eight Heavenly Dragons, where should old Sun go? Back to Huaguo Mountain?
"Great Saint, please halt." A voice suddenly called out.
Sun Wukong stopped in his tracks and turned to look.
A Buddha hurriedly walked over with a kindly smile, affectionately saying, "Great Saint~"
Sun Wukong asked, puzzled: "Who are you?"
The Buddha clasped his hands in joy, saying, "Great Saint, I am Southern Buddha of the Unbreakable Precepts, ordered to greet Saint Buddha."
"What do you want old Sun for?"
"Saint Buddha’s status is prestigious, there’s a Buddha Hall attendant for you at Spiritual Mountain, this monk will lead you to reside there."
"Haha~ Old Sun still has a temple at Spiritual Mountain?" Sun Wukong was a bit surprised, pointing at himself, thinking his Buddha title was just a name! Old Sun has already planned to return to Huaguo Mountain.
"Naturally!" Southern Buddha of the Unbreakable Precepts smiled and nodded.
Sun Wukong waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Come, let’s see! Old Sun has also become a Buddha now, if the residence is good, I’ll have my monkey descendants come and enjoy life."
Southern Buddha of the Unbreakable Precepts laughed dryly, unable to imagine what Spiritual Mountain full of monkeys would be like.
Southern Buddha of the Unbreakable Precepts led Sun Wukong flying toward the distance, laughing while they flew: "Saint Buddha, you’ve endured hardships going West."
"Not hard, not hard, just fought some evil spirits and killed a few demons, not much hardship at all."
"Saint Buddha on your westward journey, have you ever seen the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva?"
"No, old Sun rarely visited the Underworld after heading West, never saw Ksitigarbha, don’t know him well."
"Then has Saint Buddha heard about the Eastern Earth Ling Mountain?"
"What Eastern Earth Ling Mountain? Isn’t Ling Mountain here?"
"Has Saint Buddha heard of Eastern Earth Buddha?"
"Never, never, what are you talking about? Old Sun doesn’t know any of it!"
"Haha~ It’s just a jest, just joking with Saint Buddha."
Southern Buddha of the Unbreakable Precepts was trembling with anger inside!
Elsewhere, atop a lush Spiritual Mountain, the noisy sound of cicadas echoed.
Midway up the mountain was a desolate place, a golden palace was situated there.
Jin Chanzi flew out of the Great Leiyin Temple and landed lightly before the palace, reaching out to push the door, array patterns appeared, and the door opened with a rumble.
Jin Chanzi walked inside, the pearls in the palace dome lit up, illuminating the palace with a refreshing scent rushing to meet him.
Jin Chanzi floated up, landed on the Golden Lotus throne at the head seat, joyfully saying: "I’m back again!"
Jin Chanzi waved his hand casually, the palace doors shut with a rumble, then he settled down his mind to contemplate everything about himself.
Moments later, a golden light shone, Jin Chanzi abruptly opened his eyes, shouting in shock and anger: "No, why is my Tao Fruit no longer complete? Where is my Tao Fruit?"
His heart was unsettled and angry, Tao Fruit not being whole not only left him with a hidden danger but also cut off the possibility of himself reaching the strongest.
"Is Sandalwood Merit Buddha here? This monk seeks Sandalwood Merit Buddha." A voice from outside entered.
Jin Chanzi immediately restrained his aura, returned to calmness, and said: "Come in!" Rumble~ the door opened wide.
Southern Merit Buddha walked in on Buddha Light, smiling and said: "Congratulations Jin Chanzi on returning and ascending to the Buddha Position!"
Jin Chanzi rose from the Golden Lotus, folded his hands in salute, smiling and saying: "Greetings to Southern Merit Buddha!" He gestured with his hand and said: "Buddha, please have a seat!"
Southern Merit Buddha floated into a seat, Jin Chanzi also sat down on the Golden Lotus at the head seat.
Jin Chanzi asked: "Southern Merit Buddha visiting now, what teachings do you bring?"
Southern Merit Buddha smiled and said: "Don’t dare talk about teachings, just heard a rumor, came specially to inquire!"
Southern Merit Buddha looked straight at Jin Chanzi, his Buddha eyes like lightning, saying: "The rumor states, with the completion of the westward journey, calamity ends, Tang Sanzang will pass on scriptures to the Eastern Land and sit in the position of Eastern Earth Buddha, is this true or false?"
Jin Chanzi abruptly stood, cried out in alarm: "Absurd, this poor monk is loyal to The Buddha, how could there be a separate intent?" He quickly said: "Don’t know where Southern Merit Buddha heard this rumor, someone wishes to harm this poor monk?"
"Is it truly not the case?"
"Truly not the case!" Jin Chanzi firmly exclaimed.
Seeing Jin Chanzi’s expression that didn’t seem fake, Southern Merit Buddha’s heart turned icy, his mind buzzing, false, it was all false?
"Southern Merit Buddha~"
"Southern Merit Buddha, are you alright?"
Southern Merit Buddha returned to his senses, forced a smile, and said: "Nothing wrong! I’ll take my leave first." He rose and hurried out, transforming into Buddha Light and disappeared after exiting the door.
