I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"With this matter concluded, Guanyin, this old monk will take his leave now." With a complex look in his eyes, the Buddha of the East took one last look at the seven-story pagoda and said in a deep voice.

Guanyin nodded, raised one palm to her chest, and bowed slightly: "Respectfully seeing off the Buddha who came from the East."

Having failed to catch the fox and instead gotten himself into trouble, Donglai Buddha had no intention of saying anything more. In an instant, he transformed into countless golden lights and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Guanyin watched as the golden light before her completely dissipated, then silently handed the golden headband back to Qin Yao: "Xuanzang, you should continue on your journey; after this incident, your future path will certainly be even more dangerous, so please be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Bodhisattva." Qin Yao raised his hand to take the headband and bowed.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, is there anything you want to remind me of, Old Pig?" Pigsy, who wanted to take advantage of everything, asked hurriedly.

Guanyin turned her head and glanced at him, saying, "Forget it, you can't even do the reminders I can give you."

Pigsy: "..."

"Six Ears, let's go." Guanyin waved her hand as he remained silent.

"Master Xuanzang, Brother Wukong, see you later." Liu Er walked swiftly to Guanyin's side, waving with a smile.

Sun Wukong waved and said, "Cultivate diligently. This world is dangerous. Only by becoming strong enough can you continuously increase your ability to resist risks."

"Yes, Brother Wukong," the Six-Eared Macaque replied earnestly.

A moment later, watching Guanyin ride away on the clouds, Qin Yao suddenly mounted his horse and said to the four masters who had automatically become background figures since the arrival of the Buddha of the East: "Benefactor Niu, Benefactor Iron Fan, Benefactor Crow, and Prime Minister Turtle, thank you for your help. Farewell."

"Holy monk, please take care," the Turtle Prime Minister said with a smile.

"If the Holy Monk ever needs our family again, please have Wukong come to Rakshasa Kingdom to find me. Our family will be at your service at any time." The Bull Demon King clasped his hands in a salute and made the promise again.

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, raised his whip, and said softly, "Giddy up!"

The white dragon horse galloped away at the sound of the command, with its three disciples close behind, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the sight of the demons...

The next day.

The north wind howls.

The wind and sand are blowing.

Qin Yao sat upright on the back of the white horse, moving slowly forward. His hands were not idle either. He held the Myriad Demon Golden Pill between his palms, and streams of immortal energy continuously surged from his palms, rushing into the Golden Pill and quickly clearing away the primordial spirit imprint of the Long-Armed Ape within it.

After a long time.

As the last trace of the mark dissipated into wisps of smoke, Qin Yao immediately released his divine soul power, deeply imprinting his own mark into the golden core.

In an instant, the golden core leaped from his palm into the divine realm, right next to the blue divine river, transforming into an unfathomable dark abyss that exuded a powerful suction force, as if even divine consciousness could be drawn into it.

"Unbeknownst to me, my divine kingdom seems to be becoming more and more terrifying." Qin Yao thought to himself as he tried to pull his divine consciousness out of the dark abyss.

Here lies the sun, formed from the merits of Heaven; the Four Fiendish Swords, suppressing destiny; the laws of time in operation; and the divine river, formed from the Blue Spirit Pearl. Now, there is another abyss of darkness, too dark to be looked at directly…

As more and more things appeared, the divine kingdom began to resemble the universe.

"Master, Master!!"

As he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt someone tug at his clothes. After withdrawing his consciousness from the realm of gods and returning to his physical body, he finally heard Pigsy's call.

"What's wrong, Pigsy?"

"Master, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed in your thoughts. I've called you many times but you haven't responded," Pigsy asked back.

Qin Yao laughed and said, "I was lost in thought, not absorbed in it. I wasn't thinking about anything at all. What did you just say? Say it again."

Pigsy's intuition told him that his master might be lying, but he didn't dare to question it. He just chuckled and said, "I just said it's getting late, shouldn't we find a place to stay first?"

Qin Yao didn't like to force himself to suffer without effort, so he nodded slightly: "Wukong, use your Fiery Eyes to see if there's a village nearby..."

Lean less.

Just as the master and his disciples were heading towards a village, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, accompanied by her strategist, the Dream Demon, sensed the aura of her own inner core and rode the demonic wind, swiftly traversing the rolling sea of ​​clouds.

"found it!"

Suddenly, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons' eyes lit up. She immediately waved her sleeves, riding the demonic wind to descend rapidly, and slowly landed in front of a seven-story pagoda.

Inside the pagoda, the gibbon sensed the other's aura through its inner core and hurriedly jumped to the windowsill, intending to peek out, but its head was blocked by the seal.

"General, are you inside?" the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons cried out.

“Queen, I’m here, up here!” the gibbon shouted.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons hurriedly rose into the air, her gaze fixed on the seven-story pagoda, but even at the very top, she could not see the figure of the Long-Armed Ape.

"General, I've reached the top of the tower... Where are you?"

Long-Armed Ape: "..."

He didn't see the other person rise up in front of him, so it was clear that the seal had separated their figures, and they could only receive each other's voices.

"Don't bother looking anymore. With the seal in place, we can't see each other." After a short while, the Long-Armed Ape sighed softly.

The Queen of Demons hovered atop the tower, summoning a sword with a flick of her wrist. She then used magic to enlarge the sword countless times before slashing it fiercely at the tower.

"boom!"

The moment the sword clashed with the top of the tower, a deafening roar erupted, and a surge of air suddenly burst forth, striking the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and sending her flying backward.

"Queen." The Nightmare Demon's expression changed drastically, and his body immediately transformed into countless black crows, soaring against the sky to catch the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons at an extremely fast speed.

"Queen, are you alright?" the gibbon shouted from inside the pagoda.

Among the flock of crows, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, who had lost her Golden Core and Inner Core and had been traveling all the way to her limit, finally could not hold on any longer and transformed into a giant snake. She was only able to avoid falling into the void because the flock of crows supported her.

"Nightmare, take me back." The giant serpent opened its mouth and spoke in human language.

Without the slightest hesitation, the crows swiftly led the giant snake back to the front of the pagoda. After transforming back into human form, they even bent down to pick up the fallen sword, and finally retreated behind the giant snake to silently guard it.

"Queen? Queen? Are you still there?" The gibbon cried out repeatedly from inside the pagoda.

"I'm here!" The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons suppressed her discomfort but tried her best to keep her voice from trembling.

The gibbon secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What just happened?"

The Queen of Demons said, "I tried to split this tower open to rescue you, but I failed."

“This tower was built by Guanyin herself. Unless one has the same or second-best strength as her, it is impossible to split it open,” the Long-Armed Ape said with a bitter expression.

In his interpersonal relationships, only his master met this requirement.

The problem is, locking himself in the tower was already a result his master had fought for; he couldn't ask for more from his master...

The Queen of Demons exclaimed in astonishment, "Guanyin herself attacked you?"

"That's not true."

The Long-Armed Ape said, "I have once again fallen into Tang Sanzang's trap and was besieged by six great masters led by Sun Wukong, which is why I was forced to lose."

Guanyin appeared after the war, negotiated with my master, and ultimately built this pagoda to suppress me here.

The Queen of Demons suddenly realized something and immediately asked, "General, how can I rescue you?"

"Stop struggling, it's useless." The Long-Armed Ape said, "Even my master couldn't save me, let alone you? Fortunately, this imprisonment is only for five hundred years, not indefinitely." Hearing that there was a time limit, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Then I will build a hut here and live here, guarding you through these five hundred years."

"No!" A fierce look suddenly flashed across the long-armed ape's face. "I want to ask you for a favor."

The Queen of Demons asked, "What kind of help?"

The gibbon said, enunciating each word clearly, "Kill Tang Xuanzang!"

Queen of Ten Thousand Demons: "..."

That night.

On the westward journey, inside a shrine overgrown with weeds.

Sha Wujing spread layers of dry grass on the floor of the main hall, then took out two thin blankets from his bag, laid one on the bottom and covered the other with them, and turned around to say, "Master, the bed is ready."

Qin Yao said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wujing."

Sha Wujing chuckled and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just a matter of moving my hands, it's nothing hard."

Pigsy glanced at the bed with envy, then shamelessly asked, "Brother Sandy, could you please help me out?"

"Don't you have hands?" Sun Wukong retorted before Sha Wujing could even speak.

Pigsy said, "I didn't ask you to do it..."

Sun Wukong cracked his knuckles and wrists and sneered, "I'll do it for you."

"No need, thank you." Pigsy decisively raised his hand to refuse.

Qin Yao smiled and shook his head, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began his cultivation in silence.

Influenced by him, the temple quickly quieted down; as night deepened, the three disciples fell asleep one after another.

The third watch.

The Queen of Demons and the Nightmare Demons have been pursuing them all the way, hiding in a mountain forest, secretly spying on the scene in the temple through the Mystic Mirror.

"Nightmare, how confident are you in killing Tang Xuanzang in your dreams?"

With her gaze fixed on Tang Sanzang in the image, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons asked softly.

The Dream Demon pondered, "As far as Tang Xuanzang's cultivation time is concerned, I am 70% confident. Even if it fails, we can retreat in time."

Seeing his serious expression, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons nodded slightly: "Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."

"Yes."

The nightmare demon bowed and accepted the order, then sat cross-legged in the void, staring directly at Tang Sanzang, forming a mudra with his hands and silently chanting a spell.

[The system has detected a psychological attack and has activated its firewall.]

Suddenly, a line of characters flashed in Qin Yao's divine realm and were reflected in the eyes of his primordial spirit.

Qin Yao's mind stirred slightly. He grasped the Creation Jade Disc with his primordial spirit and said to himself, "System, unlock the protective wall."

The protective barrier has been breached.

As these characters appeared, a loud shout suddenly rang in Qin Yao's ears: "Tang Xuanzang, do you know your crime?"

Qin Yao slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself bound to the Execution Platform, with all the gods and Buddhas in front of him, led by the Buddha and the Jade Emperor.

"Crash..."

He did not respond to the question he had just asked, but simply shook his arm, causing the chains binding his wrists to rattle realistically.

"Tang Xuanzang, didn't you hear my question?" Upon seeing this, the Jade Emperor flew into a rage and roared.

Qin Yao raised his head slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

"presumptuous."

Beside the Jade Emperor, Erlang Shen suddenly raised his three-pointed, double-edged sword, pointing it directly at Qin Yao's face: "Tang Xuanzang, how dare you disrespect the Jade Emperor!"

Qin Yao chuckled and said, "If this were true, summoning weapons next to the Jade Emperor would be the real disrespect. It's obvious you've never been an official, otherwise such an outrageous scene wouldn't have occurred."

Erlangshen: "..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Nightmare Demon, right? The Nightmare Demon under the Queen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." Qin Yao spoke again during his silence.

"Xuanzang has gone mad, spouting nonsense and uttering incoherent ramblings. Execute him immediately," the Jade Emperor ordered.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

Qin Yao's gaze turned slightly cold. He suddenly activated the Dark Abyss within his Divine Kingdom, opened his mouth, and inhaled. All the gods and Buddhas in the sky instantly transformed into streams of light, rushing into his mouth.

at the same time.

In reality, inside the woods.

The dream demon, with its eyes closed, suddenly changed color and tried desperately to open its eyes and end the dream, but it could not escape from the dream no matter what it did. Then its body began to tremble wildly.

"Dream Demon, are you alright?" the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons asked in alarm.

"Oh!"

Before the nightmare could respond, its body suddenly shattered, transforming into countless streaks of black light that rushed toward the Earth God Shrine at incredible speed before finally disappearing into Qin Yao's mouth.

Upon seeing this, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was terrified and instantly transformed into a small snake, fleeing swiftly.

Inside the Earth God Temple.

After swallowing the Dream Demon with the Dark Abyss, Qin Yao quickly acquired the Demon Demon's innate divine ability, the Illusionary Dream Technique.

Just like his performance in the original series, unless the difference in strength is as great as an insurmountable chasm, the Illusionary Dream Technique can ignore realms. It can give people a beautiful dream that they long for day and night, or it can give them a nightmare.

However, if you want to kill someone in a dream, you can't ignore the realm. Just like when the dream demon tried to kill him, it not only failed but also killed him.

That said, the dream demon's own cultivation level was indeed not high, and the concentration of demonic energy within its body was extremely thin. Apart from granting him the innate supernatural power of illusion, its medicinal effects were far inferior to the ginseng fruit, and even less than the six-thousand-year-old peach, which disappointed him somewhat...

Fortunately, the Dark Abyss proved to be useful through the test of the Dream Demon. The Dream Demon was not strong enough, but there were plenty of powerful demons in the Three Realms. Thinking this way, the disappointment in my heart disappeared without a trace!
The next day.

When the sun was high in the sky, Qin Yao woke his three disciples and they embarked on their journey westward once more.

After walking for most of the day, braving the wind and sun, a village of interconnected houses came into view.

Wow, so much fruit!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the village entrance. Pigsy glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw a pile of fruit under a big tree. His eyes lit up and he instinctively walked towards it.

"Wukong, stop him," Qin Yao ordered as he dismounted.

Sun Wukong suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Bajie and said, "Bajie, look up there."

Pigsy looked up at the sky and asked, "What's going on up there?"

"Idiot, I told you to look up at the tree," Sun Wukong said, tapping his head with amusement.

Pigsy then focused his gaze and saw four burly men standing in the big tree, each holding a corner of a fishing net. The net's area clearly covered the fruit patch... (End of Chapter)
