Journey to the West: The Demon Emperor

Chapter 178 Returning from the disaster?

Without interfering with the promotion of "Lian Tian Ding", Li Yang directly chose to end his retreat.

After coming out of seclusion, Li Yang kept a close eye on what was happening in Nanshanbuzhou, while using various means to speed up the strengthening and tempering of "Ten Thousand Demons City".

"Ok?"

On this day, when Li Yang was using his natal dragon flame to transform the large formation composed of eighty-one fire veins, he keenly noticed that the world he was in seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

At this moment, Li Yang is only half a step away from picking the "Tao Fruit" and achieving the "Daluo Fairyland". Of course, his perception of the world is far beyond before.

Not to mention that as the master of the "Xuan Universe", Li Yang's perception of the heaven and earth has an advantage that even the "Daluo" can hardly match.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Following the mysterious perception, Li Yang directly opened the "Eye of Destiny".

In an instant, two powerful gazes penetrated the endless void and shot towards the Southern Continent.

At this moment, Li Yang seemed to have crossed endless mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and saw the birth of a baby with brilliant golden light all over his body.

In an instant, Li Yang knew the identity of the baby in front of him.

The pilgrim who seeks Buddhist scriptures—Tang Sanzang!

"hiss!"

As if sensing Li Yang's prying, the power secretly guarding the baby immediately began to fight back.

In just a moment, Li Yang's "Eye of Fate" was cut off and he lost his sight.

Even though Li Yang decisively withdrew his magical powers, two streams of blood and tears still slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Opening his eyes, Li Yang narrowed his eyes slightly as he sensed the slightly blurry and blood-red vision in front of him.

Li Yang did not expect that Buddhism would be so magnanimous and directly send a "Daluo" to protect Tang Sanzang.

Fortunately, Li Yang had the fragments of the "Chaos Bell" and the "Jade Disc of Creation" to suppress the secrets, so there was no "Daluo" protecting Tang Sanzang to lock on his position.

Li Yang already had some guesses in his mind as to who this "Daluo" was who had just attacked him and directly broken his magical powers.

If Li Yang guessed correctly, it was the "Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and the distressed", one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism.

The background of this big man is extraordinary.

In ancient times, he debuted as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the orthodox teaching - "Cihang Taoist", and had an extremely high status.

Unfortunately, in the "Battle of the Gods", he was trapped in the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation" set up by the three fairies Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and Bixiao from the Jiejiao.

According to the Three Elements, the evil formation of the Yellow River will bring disaster to all gods and immortals.

Creation is hidden in the ninety-nine bends, and wind and thunder are hidden in the thirty-three bends.

The "Nine-bend Yellow River Formation" is extremely powerful. It can destroy the spirit of an immortal, eliminate the immortal's soul, trap the immortal's form, damage the immortal's aura, destroy the immortal's original nature, and damage the immortal's limbs. It can be said to be second only to the top formations such as the "Zhu Xian Sword Formation" and the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation".

Many of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School, including Taoist Cihang, had their "Dao Fruits" forcibly removed by the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation" and fell into the "Daluo" realm.

The three flowers on the top of the head were cut off, the five energies were destroyed, and even his own "Tao Fruit" was damaged, which was a devastating blow to the Tao he practiced.

The Buddhist community seized this opportunity and opened up all of its Buddhist teachings to Taoist Cihang, allowing him to immerse himself in the mysteries of Buddhism while his body and mind were unstable.

Finally, under the leadership of Randang, the four golden immortals of the orthodox teaching, namely, Cihang Taoist, Juliusun, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra, directly betrayed their teachings and joined the Buddhist sect.

It was also the betrayal of these high-ranking members of the Chan sect that caused a large amount of the Chan sect's "power of luck" to flow into Buddhism.

This is also the reason why the Chan Sect did not need to cut off the "power of destiny" during this "Journey to the West". Because the Buddhist sect used this to sever the cause and effect with the Chan Sect.

At this moment, after realizing that Tang Sanzang had the protection of Guanyin, a great figure, by his side, Li Yang no longer had any thoughts of interfering in the "Journey to the West".

However, after learning that Tang Sanzang had been born, Li Yang knew that the best time to implement a plan he had previously made had come.

Thinking of this, Li Yang did not hesitate at all. After leaving behind a clone, he left "Ten Thousand Demons City" quietly.

With Li Yang's current level of cultivation, the power that the clone he left behind could exert would not be weaker than any "Golden Immortal".

Adding a red dragon in the "Golden Fairyland" is enough to deal with all unexpected events before the various forces take real action.

As for Li Yang himself, after hurriedly arriving in Jambudvīpa, he immediately used all his strength to activate the supreme magical power passed down by Luohou - "Mirroring the Images of the Heavens".

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, a huge, crystal-clear, translucent mirror appeared above Li Yang's head, slowly rotating and falling.

As Li Yang's head sank into the mirror, a completely unfamiliar face appeared on the other side of the mirror.

After a moment, Li Yang's figure completely disappeared, replaced by a majestic figure.

This figure is none other than the "Emperor Gou Chen" who had been sealed by Li Yang deep in the "Lian Tian Ding".

"Shh!"

With a wave of his hand, the "Map of the Zhoutian Stars" appeared directly and transformed into a gorgeous starry emperor robe, which was draped over his body.

At the same time, a star in the sky suddenly shone brightly, as if responding to something.

"Emperor Gou Chen" raised his head, looked at the "Gou Chen Star" in the sky that seemed to be leaping for joy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Emperor Gou Chen" just stood there and did not choose to leave.

"Boom!!!"

A moment later, the wind began to rise and clouds began to surge. Countless heavenly soldiers and generals wearing bright silver star armor and holding long spears appeared in the clouds.

"Welcome the Emperor back from his calamity!" × n
The next second, all the heavenly soldiers and generals appeared in front of Li Yang, knelt on one knee, and welcomed the return of "Emperor Gou Chen".

At the same time, a "Star Emperor Chariot" was pulled directly in front of Li Yang by a heavenly general.

"Go back to the palace!"

After Li Yang got into the imperial chariot, with a command, all the heavenly soldiers and generals rode on the clouds together and returned to the heaven deep in the sky.

These heavenly soldiers and generals belong exclusively to the "Gou Chen Palace", that is, the private army of "Emperor Gou Chen".

No one can command them except "Emperor Gou Chen".

Just now, Li Yang used a special secret method to communicate with the "Gou Chen Star", issued a summons to all the generals in the "Gou Chen Palace", and announced his return.

After receiving the summons from Li Yang, the generals of "Gou Chen Palace" did not hesitate at all. They immediately gathered their troops and came to Li Yang.

At this moment, Li Yang sat upright in the "Star Emperor Chariot" with his eyes closed, thinking about how to deal with what happened next.

The reason why he chose to return to heaven at this time is, of course, because at this critical moment when "Journey to the West" is about to begin, all forces will pay much less attention to the return of "Emperor Gou Chen".

In this way, Li Yang will have the opportunity to perfectly disguise his identity as "Emperor Gou Chen".
