I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Back at the Dust Demon Cave, the Demon Lord Taichen handed the seven Bodhisattva relics to Nangong Wan, saying, "Madam, these are for you."

Nangong Wan didn't go to pick it up, or even glance at it.

The Demon Lord Taichen smiled faintly and placed the seven relics on the table, saying, "These seven relics all contain the wonderful teachings of the Buddhist Bodhisattvas. If you can refine them, it will be as if you have obtained the power of the seven Bodhisattvas, and you will surely achieve the supreme immortal fruit."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and she reached out and picked up a relic, holding it in her hand.

Upon seeing this, the Demon Lord Taichen smiled slightly, then turned and left.

On the other side, Amoghavajra retreated from Mount Qingwu and returned to his own Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm.

At this moment, the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm was no longer bathed in Buddhist light and filled with the sounds of chanting; instead, it had become utterly silent.

All the Bodhisattvas and Vajras have perished, leaving only a few young children who are still busy in the sacred realm as usual, watering flowers and grass here, pruning branches and leaves there.

Upon seeing the Buddha Amoghavajra return, the young attendants hurriedly went to greet him, bowing and saying, "The World Honored One has returned. Your disciples will go and brew tea for you."

"No need," Amoghasiddhi called to the boys, then asked one of them, "Are all the boys here?"

The boy glanced back and then bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, there are three others who are not here."

Amoghasiddhi said, "Go and summon those three people. I have something to say to them."

"As you command." The boy replied, then turned and left, returning shortly afterward with three other boys.

Then the children gathered around Amoghavajra. Amoghavajra looked at the children calmly and said, “Let me let you know that I led the Bodhisattvas and Vajras to Qingwu Mountain in Jinling Prefecture to subdue the Demon Lord Taichen. I did not expect that the demon was so powerful that all seven Bodhisattvas and Vajras died and their lives were destroyed. Even my Buddhist kingdom was swallowed up by the demon.”

Upon hearing this, the children present all showed expressions of horror. Amoghavajra was the Buddha, and in their hearts, the Buddha was invincible and possessed boundless power.

Now, hearing that the Buddha, along with Bodhisattvas and Vajras, went to subdue the demon, only to have seven Bodhisattvas and fifty-six Vajras killed by the demon, who also swallowed up the Buddha's Buddha-land, how could they not be horrified?

At this moment, a boy asked, "May I ask the Buddha, what has become of that demon?"

The Buddha Amoghavajra said, "That demon has invaded my Buddhist kingdom and his cultivation has increased dramatically. Now even this humble monk can't do anything to him."

Upon hearing this, the children fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.

Then, the Buddha Amoghavajra looked at the children in front of him and said, "Now that the demon is powerful, there will surely be a great calamity in Beiju Luzhou. In this battle at Qingwu Mountain, my Tianyin Sacred Realm has already become enemies with that demon, and I think we will not be able to escape it either."

At this point, Amoghavajra looked at the children and said, "There are still many rare and precious treasures in this sacred realm. You have taken care of them here for many years. Today, I will bestow them all upon you. Take them each."

Upon hearing this, all the children knelt down and asked Amoghavajra, "World Honored One, are you sending us away?"

The Buddha Amoghavajra said, “It is not that we are sending you away. The Demon Lord Taichen will surely come to this place in the future. In order to prevent you from suffering a calamity, we are sending you down the mountain first. You can come back after we have subdued this demon.”

At this point, Amoghavajra raised his hand and waved it. In an instant, all the treasures and immortal objects in the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm flew up automatically, and even the immortal herbs and spiritual roots were all uprooted and floated in mid-air.

The Buddha Amoghavajra said, “You may choose what you want and then go down the mountain.”

Then another boy asked, "Where does the World-Honored One want us to go?"

The Buddha Amoghavajra said, “You have followed me for many years and learned a lot of Buddhist teachings. After you leave the mountain, find a secluded place in the mountains and fields, away from the secular world, to cultivate in peace and avoid disaster. These immortal resources and wealth are enough to help you achieve the true path of immortality.”

After saying this, Amoghavajra said calmly, "When conditions arise, people gather; when conditions cease, they disperse. Do not delay any longer. Quickly take the immortal items and go down the mountain. If you can diligently cultivate and attain immortality, we will have a chance to reunite in the future."

Seeing that Amoghavajra had spoken to this extent, the children said no more, accepted the decree, and then divided up all the celestial treasures and materials in the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm. After that, they bid farewell to Amoghavajra and left the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm to descend the mountain.

After dismissing the children of the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm, Amoghavajra went to Mount Heng in the North to meet the Great Emperor of the North.

When the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak saw that the Buddha Amoghavajra had returned, he immediately went to greet him in front of the palace and said with a smile, "Your return, Buddha, must mean that you have already subdued that Demon Lord Taichen?"

Amoghasiddhi bowed deeply to the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain and said, "Your Majesty, this humble monk has failed your trust and has come to apologize."

"This..." The Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain glanced at Zhao Chongguo, then asked, "Why do you say this, Venerable Buddha? Could it be that you have not subdued that Demon Lord Taichen? If that is the case, Venerable Buddha, there is no need to worry. Let us discuss this further."

Amoghavajra shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this demon is beyond our ability to subdue. I hope Your Majesty will report to the Grand Master of Fate as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Amoghavajra's words, Zhao Chongguo hurriedly asked, "Venerable Buddha, what exactly happened when you went to subdue the demon?"

So Amoghasiddhi told the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak about the process of subduing the demon. When the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak heard that the seven Bodhisattvas and fifty-six Vajras had all perished, and that even Amoghasiddhi's Buddha-land had been swallowed up, he was extremely shocked.

"I never imagined that this demonic path would be so powerful. What should we do?" Emperor Beiyue said with a worried expression.

At this moment, Amoghavajra said, “Your Majesty, this matter arose from my own delusions, and I will not evade responsibility. After I have come to apologize to Your Majesty, I will return to the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm. If that demon comes to attack, I will do my utmost to suppress him. Even if I cannot succeed, I will at least weaken his cultivation.”

After saying this, Amoghavajra bid farewell to the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak and returned directly to the Sacred Realm of Heavenly Sound.

Watching the Buddha Amoghavajra depart, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain looked at Zhao Chongguo with a worried expression. "Minister, it seems that we have no choice but to seek help from the Grand Master of Fate."

"Your Majesty, there is no rush." ​​Zhao Chongguo stopped the Great Emperor of Beiyue and said, "Just now, the words of the Buddha Bukong seemed to indicate that he had made up his mind to die and wanted to perish together with that Demon Lord Taichen."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak exclaimed in surprise, "How can this be allowed? Quickly send someone to invite the Buddha Bukong back. Even though the Demon Lord Taichen is guilty of escaping, he cannot be allowed to so easily declare his death."

Zhao Chongguo said, "Your Majesty, things have come to this point. Amoghavajra's mind is made up, and it is impossible to persuade him to change his mind."

"So what do you mean?" Emperor Beiyue looked at Zhao Chongguo.

Zhao Chongguo thought for a moment and said, "Now that the Buddha and the demons have joined forces with the Brahmanism in Xiniuhezhou, the Buddhist sect has no time to look north. If the Buddha Bukong sacrifices himself to suppress the Demon Lord Taichen, then there will be no more Buddhist realms in Beijuluzhou, and my Beiyue Divine Palace can rule Beijuluzhou alone."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak sighed and said, "The Minister's words are very good, but if the Buddha of Non-Emptiness cannot suppress the Demon Lord of the Great Dust, then I'm afraid my Northern Peak Divine Palace will not be able to reap the benefits without effort."

Zhao Chongguo said, "If all else fails, we can offer them amnesty."

"Offer amnesty?" The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak looked at Zhao Chongguo. "You mean offer amnesty to the Demon Lord Taichen?"

Zhao Chongguo said, "That's right. If the Buddha Bukong is unable to suppress the Demon Lord Taichen, our Northern Mountain Divine Palace might as well follow the story of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and recruit the Demon Lord Taichen."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak said, "But he wants the throne of the Heavenly King."

Zhao Chongguo laughed and said, "There are great Heavenly Kings of all ranks. The great one is the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who is a third-rank celestial official of the Upper Yuan in the Heavenly Court. The small one is the Four Heavenly Kings, who are fifth-rank celestial officials of the Middle Yuan in the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain instantly realized that this was indeed an imitation of the 'Monkey King' story.

But the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain thought of the story behind the Monkey King, who felt deceived and then wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

So he said, "It's still not advisable. If he finds out, wouldn't that cause another disaster?"

Zhao Chongguo laughed and said, "Your Majesty, we can make it clear to him when we offer him amnesty that we will first grant him the title of Fifth-Rank Heavenly King, and then promote him further after he has made great contributions. In this way, there will be no suspicion of deception."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright, if things don't go well, then we will proceed according to the Minister's plan."

As Buddha Amoghavajra predicted, just over ten days later, Demon Lord Taichen indeed came to kill him.

The Buddha light barrier of the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm was no match for the Demon Lord Taichen. The Demon Lord Taichen then stirred up all kinds of phenomena in the Northern Continent of Luzhou, which then converged on the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm, completely surrounding it.

As the Demon Lord Taichen entered the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm, his presence caused chaos and destruction wherever he went, turning the once bright and prosperous Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm into a dark and desolate place.

When the Demon Lord Taichen arrived in front of the Lotus Platform of the Buddha Bukong, the Buddha Bukong formed a mudra with his hands and looked at the Demon Lord Taichen calmly.

The Demon Lord Taichen looked at the Buddha Bukong and said after a moment, "Will you leave on your own, or should I ask you to leave?" The Buddha Bukong said, "Demon, although I cannot subdue you, you cannot do anything to me either."

“That’s natural,” said Demon Lord Taichen. “So I’ve only come to destroy the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm and erase all traces of your Buddhist sect from the entire Northern Continent. As for you, you shall be treated like a stray dog.”

Amoghasiddhi smiled slightly and said, "Demon, you cannot destroy the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm, and this humble monk will not become a stray dog."

The instant the Buddha Bukong finished speaking, ten thousand feet of Buddha light rose from all directions of the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm. In just a moment, that ten thousand feet of Buddha light covered the eight extremes of heaven and earth, the two realms of yin and yang, and the space between reality and illusion, leaving the Demon Lord Taichen with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

All the myriad phenomena that the Demon Lord Taichen had created vanished, and then a true Buddha image appeared in the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm.

When the physical body of Amoghasiddhi Buddha dissipated and all illusions vanished, the true form of the Buddha was revealed, which suppressed the Buddha with its boundless light.

As the Buddha Amoghavajra revealed his true Dharma form to suppress the Demon Lord Taichen, the entire Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm was completely transformed into a realm of annihilation the moment that ten thousand feet of Buddha light fell.

All that could be seen was that the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm and the surrounding hundred miles were plunged into a realm of annihilation. Although the Buddha's light was dazzling, it was extremely dangerous, and anything that came near would be instantly annihilated.

An extremely majestic Buddha statue slowly rose and appeared in the very center of that desolate realm. Beneath the Buddha statue sat not a lotus platform, but a huge ship. And beneath that ship, there was a small world, filled with all kinds of demonic dust.

Seeing everything that was happening in the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm from afar, Lord Taiheng immediately took a picture of the scene and returned to the Northern Mountain Divine Palace to report to the Northern Mountain Emperor.

Upon seeing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak exclaimed, "The Buddha Amoghavajra suppressed the Demon Lord Taichen with his true Buddha form, truly deserving of the title of Buddha."

After saying that, the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak asked again, "So, the Demon Lord Taichen has been suppressed?"

"It's hard to say." Zhao Chongguo pointed to the image brought back by Taiheng Jun and said, "There is only a boat in here, a world and all things in the world of demons and dust, but no Taichen Demon Lord."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak took a closer look and said, "This ship looks somewhat like the Northern Star Crossing Boundary Ship. No, this is the Northern Star Crossing Boundary Ship!"

How could the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak not recognize his own possession? After confirming that it was his Northern Star Crossing World Ship, he asked, "What is that world?"

Zhao Chongguo said, "Could it be the Buddhist kingdom that was previously swallowed up by the Demon Lord Taichen? As for the myriad phenomena of demonic dust, they should be the myriad phenomena of dust transformed by the Demon Lord Taichen's magic power."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak's expression tightened, and he said, "So, the Demon Lord Taichen really wasn't suppressed?"

No one could answer the question posed by the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountains, because no one dared to be certain whether the Demon Lord Taichen had actually been suppressed by the Buddha Bukong.

At this moment, Zhao Chongguo suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I will go to the Dust Demon Cave on Qingwu Mountain to investigate."

Lord Taiheng was startled and quickly said, "Minister Zhao, have you forgotten the debate you had with that Demon Lord Taichen? You were quite angry with him back then. If Demon Lord Taichen hadn't been suppressed, wouldn't you have just been throwing your life away?"

Emperor Beiyue also expressed his concern, but Zhao Chongguo laughed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. If the Demon Lord Taichen is truly suppressed by the Buddha Bukong, then I will certainly be safe on this journey. If the Demon Lord Taichen is not suppressed, then I think the position of Heavenly King is enough to save me from death."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain nodded slightly and said, "Very well, then please send Minister to the Dust Demon Cave as an envoy. As for the matter of offering amnesty, you may make your own decision."

Zhao Chongguo immediately bowed to the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

So Zhao Chongguo received the token of the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain and, with one hundred divine generals, left the Northern Mountain and set off for the Dust Demon Cave on Qingwu Mountain.

More than ten days later, Zhao Chongguo and his party finally arrived outside Qingwu Mountain. The area was already teeming with demonic energy, with fortified camps and banners everywhere, and the sounds of drums and horns could be heard.

As soon as Zhao Chongguo and his group arrived outside the mountain, they were stopped by a group of demons. "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Dust Demon Cave Treasure Realm?"

Zhao Chongguo was taken aback upon hearing this, and the divine generals behind him rushed forward to block his way.

The monsters ahead were startled when they saw these divine generals in golden helmets and armor, looking very majestic, and quickly started blowing drums and horns.

Before long, thousands of monsters of all sizes gathered here and surrounded Zhao Chongguo and his companions.

Zhao Chongguo hurriedly called out, "Wait!" Then he strode forward and said to the generals in front of him, "Step back and put away your swords."

Upon hearing the order, the generals all sheathed their weapons and retreated behind Zhao Chongguo.

At this moment, Zhao Chongguo addressed the group of powerful demons in front of him, saying, "I am Zhao Chongguo, Minister of the Northern Peak Heavenly Palace. I have been sent by the Northern Peak Emperor to the Dust Demon Cave to meet the Great Dust Demon Lord. Please inform the kings of my arrival." After saying this, he revealed the Northern Peak Emperor's talisman.

The title of the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak was quite effective, and the demons present immediately quieted down.

At this moment, a monster with a leopard's head stepped forward and said to Zhao Chongguo, "My Demon Lord said that he will not be receiving guests for the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chongguo's mind immediately became active, and he said immediately, "Please inform them that I have been ordered by the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain to have some great news to share with the Demon Lord."

Upon hearing this, Leopard Head retreated and discussed with the surrounding demon kings for a moment before saying, "Alright, you wait here while I go and report."

"Okay." Zhao Chongguo nodded.

As soon as Leopard Head returned to the Dust Demon Cave, he immediately informed the Great Dust Demon Lord of Zhao Chongguo's arrival.

The Demon Lord Taichen is currently recuperating. He was seriously injured this time. If he hadn't been careful beforehand, he would probably have been suppressed by the Buddha Bukong by now.

He had previously left a 'life-shattering mark' on Nangong Wan, not only to provide her with protection, but also to leave himself a way out.

There is only one Sharing Life Sand. Once it is given away, it cannot be taken back. As long as the Demon Lord Taichen does not die, the person who possesses the Sharing Life Sand will never die.

Furthermore, the Demon Lord Taichen can also use this Fate-Sharing Sand to protect himself. Since the person who obtains the Fate-Sharing Sand will not die as long as the Demon Lord Taichen is alive, conversely, as long as the person who obtains the Fate-Sharing Sand is not attacked, the Demon Lord Taichen can also use the Fate-Sharing Sand to avoid certain attacks.

So, although Amoghavajra suppressed Taichen Demon Lord, Nangong Wan, who possessed the Fate-Sharing Sand, was not suppressed by Amoghavajra. Therefore, Taichen Demon Lord could use the Fate-Sharing Sand to avoid Amoghavajra's suppression.

However, Amoghavajra is a Buddha, and his suppression covers the eight extremes of heaven and earth, the two realms of yin and yang, and the space between reality and illusion, completely sealing off all of Taichen Demon Lord's escape routes. Even with the Fate-Shattering Sand, it would be difficult to escape the suppression range of Amoghavajra.

At this point, the role of the Beichen Ferry Crossing Boat becomes apparent.

The Demon Lord Taichen broke through the boundary between reality and illusion with the Beichen Crossing-the-World Boat, and then escaped with the help of the Fate-Shattering Sand. However, the price was that the Beichen Crossing-the-World Boat, the Buddhist Kingdom Minor World that he had devoured, and the Myriad Phenomena of his one-third of his cultivation were suppressed by the Buddha Bukong.

This was a huge blow to the Demon Lord Taichen, equivalent to not only losing his newly acquired power but also having one-third of his original cultivation level reduced.

Although he cannot be killed, the weakening of his power will make him easier to suppress.

"It's best to avoid provoking these great Buddhas and deities in the future," sighed the Demon Lord Taichen.

Just then, the leopard spirit came to report that Zhao Chongguo, the Minister of the Northern Mountain Divine Palace, had come to request an audience on the orders of the Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain.

Taichen Demon Lord's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed: "Zhao Chongguo, he still dares to come see me?"

Thinking of this, Demon Lord Taichen asked, "How many people did he bring?"

The leopard spirit said, "Just him, and a hundred divine generals."

The Demon Lord Taichen said, "Go and tell him that if he wants to see me, he should not bring any divine generals, but come to the cave alone."

The leopard spirit bowed deeply and said, "Yes, sir." Then it turned and walked out.

Then, the Demon Lord Taichen gave another order, "Come on, set up a pot in the cave and boil water. I want to cook immortal meat!"

The monsters below were overjoyed and readily accepted the order. They then went to fetch firewood and water, carry pots and stoves, and busied themselves with great enthusiasm.

The saying goes that since the Demon Lord ate the flesh of the immortals, he should at least share some immortal soup with them. (End of Chapter)
