The moment Xuanzang defeated the Yellow Wind King.

Everything in the cave seemed to have calmed down.

It is also this moment.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were rushing over, having followed the scent all the way here.

They had just arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Sun Wukong, with his fiery eyes, vigilantly scanned his surroundings, gripping his golden cudgel tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. Zhu Bajie also raised his nine-toothed rake.

Extremely vigilant.

After all, the fact that this monster was able to abduct Qin Seng right under their noses was enough to prove that it was quite powerful.

only.

"Master, why did you come out?"

When they saw Xuanzang emerge from the cave unharmed, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie stared in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.

"already solved."

Xuanzang smiled slightly, looking relaxed, as if he had just done something completely ordinary.

and.

He was very gentle and calm, with no trace of fighting on his body.

"Let's continue on our way."

Say it.

Xuanzang didn't explain much. He took a step and walked out of the cave with firm and calm steps, as if dealing with the Yellow Wind King was too insignificant.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised surprise. Their gazes met, as if they were exchanging their doubts.

"The monster's aura has dissipated."

Sun Wukong frowned and said with a puzzled look, "The strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal is not that great."

"But...but..."

"For Master, this shouldn't be considered weak, right?"

now.

Sun Wukong couldn't understand how the Yellow Wind King could be defeated so easily, given his strength. He scratched his head, his face full of confusion.

"Could it be that Master also possesses cultivation?"

Pigsy opened his mouth wide in surprise, as he keenly sensed something, which also expressed the question that both of them had in mind.

In their minds, Xuanzang had always been a mortal with no strength to even kill a chicken, but what was happening now forced them to re-examine that perception.

Their nominal master seems to be more than just a simple person.

It seems they really do possess cultivation!

"Big brother."

"Do you think Master might be hiding his true cultivation level?"

"I guessed," Pigsy guessed. He leaned closer to Monkey King, his face showing a hint of curiosity and anticipation, as if hoping to get a definite answer from Monkey King.

After all, Sun Wukong came from the Qin Dynasty, as did Xuanzang.

"impossible."

Sun Wukong shook his head and immediately said, "I have fiery eyes that can see through even a quasi-saint. Even if Master has cultivation, he can still see through things."

Hear the words.

"Could it be that some treasure is concealing Master's cultivation level?"

Pigsy guessed again, stroking his chin and rolling his eyes. Although he had a pig's head, Pigsy was not stupid. He tried to explain the situation from all possible angles.

Hear this explanation.

"possible."

Sun Wukong nodded, thinking that this was quite possible.

But then I thought about it.

"who cares."

"If Master really has cultivation, that's a good thing. We won't need to be so cautious in the future."

A relieved smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face, as if he had suddenly figured something out.

"I originally thought that Master had no cultivation at all, but now it seems that Master has been hiding quite a lot. This will make the journey to the west even more enjoyable."

"The people we protect are quite strong. Those who covet Master's flesh and blood are likely to be disappointed."

Sun Wukong revealed a cold, expectant smile.

Let's imagine.

If some demon kidnapped Qin Seng, only to be easily defeated by him, they would probably feel they died unjustly. Thinking of this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"A great calamity is imminent."

"The entire Jambudvipa has been shrouded in calamity energy. The deeper we go, the stronger the calamity energy becomes. We, as pilgrims, can avoid being corrupted by the calamity energy, but it will be difficult for all living things on Jambudvipa."

Pigsy said with deep emotion.

He gazed into the distance, a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he could see those creatures struggling in the calamity.

"This calamity is truly difficult," Pigsy exclaimed.

"What kind of bullshit pilgrimage is this? We're spreading the Dharma now."

"besides."

"Forget about this damn calamity, look to the east."

Sun Wukong gave a cold laugh, which carried a deeper meaning.

He raised the golden cudgel in his hand and pointed it eastward, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Pigsy turned his head and looked to the east.

"what?"

Pigsy asked, puzzled. The east was empty and night had fallen. His eyes were full of doubt, not understanding what Sun Wukong was referring to.

"Didn't you see that overwhelming aura of killing intent?"

"At the moment this great calamity began, the westward offensive of the Great Qin also began. Perhaps within a hundred years, everything in the Southern Continent will belong to the Great Qin. As long as the Great Qin's Nine Provinces Barrier covers the continent and protects it with the power of the barrier, the calamity energy of this continent will not affect the living beings under the protection of the barrier."

Sun Wukong said with a smile that he was very clear about the power of the Great Qin and its Nine Provinces Barrier.

Once the Qin Dynasty conquers Jambudvipa, the so-called Great Calamity will be a joke.

"Brother Monkey."

“Your status in the Qin Dynasty is quite high,” Pigsy suddenly said. He looked at Monkey King, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Status?" Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing the meaning of those two words.

After a moment of contemplation.

Sun Wukong said seriously, "Strictly speaking, my status shouldn't be low. Anyway, I can directly contact the senior and the Qin Emperor."

As he spoke, he recalled his past interactions with his predecessors and the Qin Emperor, and a complex mix of emotions welled up within him.

gratitude.

In awe.

There are all kinds of emotions.

Upon hearing this, a look of shock appeared in Pigsy's eyes. He clearly hadn't expected it.

“I know the Qin Emperor; he is the ruler of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Heavenly Emperor Ying Zheng.”

"He is known as one of the strongest people in the world. Although no one has ever seen him make a move, it is said that his strength is no weaker than that of the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court."

"But Brother Monkey, who was your predecessor?" Pigsy asked curiously.

Obviously.

His curiosity had been piqued, so he moved closer to Sun Wukong, full of curiosity.

"Crown Prince of Qin".

Sun Wukong said with a look of awe.

Sun Wukong was always grateful to Zhao Feng. When he was still gestating in the stone, Zhao Feng had already passed on his magic to him. It was because of Zhao Feng that his fate was rewritten.

He recalled the scene when he first met Zhao Feng, and his heart was filled with gratitude and respect.

Without the Qin Dynasty, there would be no Zhao Feng.

Perhaps Sun Wukong will be just like the original Journey to the West, not only suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain with his cultivation greatly damaged, but also replaced by Buddhism in the subsequent great calamity, and finally Liu Er will become Sun Wukong.

"So it was the Crown Prince of Qin."

A look of awe flashed in Pigsy's eyes.

The Qin Crown Prince's reputation was extremely renowned in the Heavenly Court.

"Fool." "Your background must be quite something, too."

Sun Wukong turned his head and looked at Zhu Bajie with a smile. Similarly, there was a look of inquiry in Sun Wukong's eyes, trying to see something from Zhu Bajie's expression.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy immediately feigned ignorance: "What kind of background could I have? I am Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Court, who was demoted to the mortal world after harassing Chang'e."

As he spoke, Pigsy even scratched his head in a mock manner, appearing to be simple and harmless.

“The aura on your body seems familiar to me. It’s like I’ve felt it in the Tushita Palace before. If you were just a minor celestial general, you would never be able to join this team. It must have been arranged by Laozi in the Tushita Palace. You two have quite a connection.”

Sun Wukong smiled and said with great certainty.

talking.

Sun Wukong circled around Zhu Bajie, carefully sensing the aura emanating from him.

Absolutely certain.

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, Zhu Bajie's eyes flashed with a strange light, clearly not expecting Sun Wukong to be so clever.

"Brother Monkey."

"It seems that the people of Heaven underestimate you, and many people in this world also underestimate you."

"They all thought you were reckless, that you did anything without considering the consequences, and that you didn't like to use your brain. But now it seems that's not the case at all."

Pigsy remarked with emotion, as if he had come to understand Monkey King anew.

"I don't use my brain?"

Upon hearing this assessment, Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh: "Indeed! I don't like to use my brain, and the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court probably don't like me using my brain either."

"After all, if they start using their brains, they'll lose control."

Sun Wukong gave a cold laugh, seemingly disdainful of the schemes of Buddhism and Heaven.

"But for now..."

"The Buddhist sect's scheme was destined to fail; the so-called pilgrimage had become a transmission of the Dharma."

"The so-called westward journey has become the westward journey of the Qin Dynasty."

"We are in front, and the Great Qin is behind."

"I want to see how Buddhism will face the Qin army one day."

Sun Wukong spoke coldly, his eyes sharp and piercing.

as if.

Sun Wukong had already foreseen the future plight of Buddhism under the Qin army, just like the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court.

"Brother Monkey."

"Although you are a person of the Great Qin, we share the same goal."

"No one wants Buddhism to have an easy time, so I can trust you, and you can trust me too."

Pigsy said it very seriously.

now.

He looked at Sun Wukong with sincere eyes, as if waiting for Sun Wukong's response.

"That's the case for now."

Sun Wukong nodded, agreeing with Zhu Bajie's words.

Hear the words.

Pigsy also showed a hint of joy.

immediately.

Pigsy stretched out his hand directly.

Sun Wukong glanced at him, then reached out and gave Zhu Bajie a high five, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding at that moment.

……

Great Qin!

Above the Heavenly Palace.

In the main hall.

The Heavenly Mystery Mirror shimmered with light, reflecting its radiance.

In the mirror, the scenes of the Qin army's conquests are clearly visible; since breaking through the formidable pass, their expansion has never ceased.

Now, it's not just four camps of the Great Qin, but eight, scattered and expanding westward.

The Qin warriors' frenzied killing continued unabated.

Jambudvipa is very large, and it is not as easy to deal with as Purvavideha.

The Qin Dynasty also adopted a steady approach, gradually expanding westward. The army's advance was naturally very measured, proceeding in batches.

of course!

This seemingly steady progress is actually not a safe one.

The Qin army's protectors used their divine sense to scan the area. They dealt with any powerful figures blocking the Qin army, and sent troops to suppress and kill any demons or cultivators with human karma.

All of a sudden!

The land bordering Jambudvipa and Purvavideha has changed dramatically.

The might of the Qin army faced no obstacles whatsoever on the edge of Jambudvipa.

Although Xuanzang had been traveling westward for some time, the Qin Dynasty remained restrained, keeping a distance of several hundred miles from him. This was indeed a great distance for ordinary people, but for cultivators in this ancient world, it was merely a step away.

"His Majesty."

"The advance of our Qin warriors is steady, and they have already dealt with many demons along the way."

"and."

"The calamity energy in the Southern Continent has reached an unbelievable critical point. If it weren't for the protection of Heaven's fortune, our Qin warriors might have already been eroded by the calamity energy."

“Cultivators in this continent, as long as they have cultivation, may find it difficult to escape the fate of being eroded by the tribulation aura. I have already sent someone to conduct an experiment. This tribulation aura also has the power to erode even the strongest cultivators at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, although the erosion process is a bit slower.”

Wang Jian began his report with a serious expression.

Obviously.

The matter I am reporting is of great importance.

Wang Jian had no choice but to personally submit a memorial.

Hear this!

Ying Zheng also wore a thoughtful expression.

They were also weighing the calamity emanating from Jambudvipa.

After going on for quite a while.

"National Commandant".

"Have you noticed a pattern in the calamity aura of the Southern Continent?" Ying Zheng asked slowly, his gaze falling on Wang Jian's background, his voice echoing in the Heavenly Palace.

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression, his eyes filled with doubt.

"The calamity will increase exponentially with each new member of the five-person westward journey group."

"When Xuanzang first stepped into the Southern Continent, the calamity might have only affected those below the Taiyi level. But with the addition of Wukong, Bailong, and Zhu Bajie, the calamity can now even affect Daluo Jinxian."

"Perhaps when the five of them are all together, the calamity energy will also have an erosion effect on the Quasi-Saints."

Ying Zheng spoke slowly.

Just a few words.

He then directly revealed the essence of why this calamity energy was increasing step by step.

"This calamity is so strange?"

"The gathering of those destined for calamity actually increases the aura of calamity?"

"Why?"

"Never before has a calamity like this occurred in the past, has it?"

Wang Jian said with great surprise. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with shock, clearly taken aback by what Ying Zheng had said.

Although the Qin Dynasty never experienced the great calamity it once did.

However, this is recorded in classical texts.

The records of past great calamities state that there is a day when one will enter the calamity, but this is not the case. All living things will enter the calamity and will be eroded by the calamity energy.

This is too strange.

In this regard.

After a moment of contemplation, Ying Zheng had already made his decision.

"Do you know why our Qin territory has not been eroded by calamity?" Ying Zheng smiled and asked in return.
