Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

As the Spirit Stone Monkey put away its dragon scale armor, it couldn't help but think to itself, "Wait a minute, didn't my brothers say that there were people from various factions secretly monitoring us?"

"But this person just spoke so bluntly. Isn't he afraid that people from all sides will hear this, preventing me from ever reaching Qinglian Island again?"

With this in mind, he would normally release his divine sense and begin to perceive the area within a radius of ten thousand miles.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey has already mastered the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique to the fourth revolution. Its cultivation level is now at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Furthermore, with the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, he possesses the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels. Even now, the Spiritual Stone Monkey can remain undefeated against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Being able to perceive a range of tens of thousands of miles with his divine sense is not something impossible. In addition, the spies sent out by various forces are mostly between the Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal realms.

They couldn't detect the Spirit Stone Monkey's investigation at all, so the Spirit Stone Monkey naturally wasn't worried about being discovered by those sentries.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey even used its divine sense to spy on those sentries more than once. It also used them to spread false information on more than one occasion.

But now, the Spirit Stone Monkey has discovered that there isn't a single hidden sentry within a radius of ten thousand miles. This inevitably puzzles the Spirit Stone Monkey.

"Usually those flies are always so persistent, how come there aren't a single one today?"

Little did the Spirit Stone Monkey know that the moment Ao Chun appeared, the spies from various factions had already fled in terror.

After all, their respective factions had already given instructions that if they encountered Taoist disciples or Human Sect disciples, they must flee immediately, or their fate would be uncertain.

That's why Ao Chun dared to be so unrestrained and say those words. It's just that the Spirit Stone Monkey didn't understand the key point.

Since he couldn't figure it out, the Spirit Stone Monkey stopped thinking about it and continued heading towards Green Lotus Island.

The Dragon God was slain by Ao Chun, and the Buddhist monks in the Great Thunderclap Temple sensed it immediately. This was because one of the eight life lamps went out at that moment.

This inevitably shocked all the Buddhas present, and some even asked the Tathagata Buddha, "Buddha, why did the Dragon God die? And why couldn't even the relics escape?"

"Could it be that the Spirit Stone Monkey has already possessed powerful cultivation? Perhaps even reached the point where it can slay the Dragon God?"

The Buddha Tathagata calculated with his fingers, but felt that the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos. The Buddha Tathagata naturally knew that it must be his own sect that had interfered with the secrets of heaven.

This also means that the one who killed the Dragon God must be a Taoist disciple. However, he didn't show it at all on the surface, but instead sighed and said...

"The secrets of the East Sea are in complete chaos, and even this humble monk cannot deduce them in the slightest. It seems that a powerful being must have intervened."

Just then, someone entered the Great Thunderclap Temple carrying a letter and addressed the Buddha.

"My Buddha, the Dragon Clan of the East Sea has sent a letter, asking me to give them an explanation."

With a wave of his hand, the Buddha took the letter from the East Sea. Upon opening it, his expression immediately turned serious.

Then he handed the letter to the other Buddhas to read and said, "The Dragon God actually had someone impersonate the East Sea Dragon Clan. Now the East Sea Dragon Clan has sent people to demand an explanation."

The moment the Buddha uttered these words, everyone present instantly understood. The Dragon God's death must have been caused by the East Sea Dragon Clan.

The Western Dragon Clan, led by the Dragon God, had long been regarded as traitors by the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas. Out of respect for the Western Dragon Clan, they had not been made too difficult for the Dragon Clan.

Now the Dragon God has actually gone to the East Sea and is impersonating the East Sea Dragon Clan. This is practically the same as dying young. Having understood the crux of the matter, the Buddhas couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Manjushri Bodhisattva even spoke directly.

"Buddha, the eastward spread of Buddhism is crucial to the great prosperity of our Buddhist sect. It is not advisable to antagonize the Dragon Clan at this time, so this matter can only be handled by the Dragon God himself."

The Buddhas nodded repeatedly, for after all, something had happened, and someone had to take the blame. And the Dragon God, who was already dead, was the perfect candidate.

Seeing that none of the Buddhas had any objections, the Tathagata Buddha then instructed Manjushri Bodhisattva to handle the matter. He then spoke again.

"The Dragon God failed to guide the Spiritual Stone Monkey to the Spiritual Platform Mountain. We must send someone else to guide him. Who would be willing to go?"

The White Elephant Venerable stepped forward again and said, "My Buddha, it seems that this time I, the Venerable One, will have to take action personally."

The Buddha couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking that even if they all went, they would probably only be able to watch helplessly as the Spiritual Stone Monkey entered the Green Lotus Island.

He simply nodded. "Since Venerable White Elephant has volunteered again, this matter will be entrusted to you. Remember, under no circumstances should you anger the Dragon Clan again."

The White Elephant Venerable said with a smile, "Has Buddha forgotten that the East Sea is not solely under the control of the Dragon Clan? The Golden Turtle Island of the Jie Sect is also located in the East Sea."

Before joining the Western Sect, Venerable White Elephant was Lingya Xian, a direct disciple of the Jie Sect. Moreover, he did not betray the sect, but was sent to join Buddhism on a mission.

Therefore, as long as he speaks up, the disciples of the Jie Sect will definitely lend a helping hand. This is also the key reason why Venerable White Elephant felt that he could accomplish this task.

Little did they know, besides Golden Turtle Island, there was also Azure Lotus Island in the East Sea. That was an existence even more terrifying than the Dragon Clan, and even a Heavenly Saint would have to bow down before it.

However, the Buddha Tathagata would not remind him, and immediately sent the White Elephant Venerable to the East Sea.

The White Elephant Venerable, full of confidence, bid farewell to the Buddha and rode directly on a cloud towards the East Sea.

The White Elephant Venerable did not go directly to the Spiritual Stone Monkey, but instead went to Golden Turtle Island first, asking the disciples of the Intercepting Sect to assist him.

The disciples of the Jie Sect naturally did not refuse, and immediately sent several disciples to cause trouble for the Spirit Stone Monkey.

At this point, the Spiritual Stone Monkey had already traveled 20,000 li. Less than 10,000 li remained to reach Green Lotus Island.

Just then, several streaks of light suddenly descended from the sky, directly blocking the way for the Spirit Stone Monkey.

One of them even spoke up, saying, "Where did this monkey come from, daring to stir up trouble in the East Sea? Don't you know that the East Sea belongs to my Jie Sect?"

"Senior brother, why waste words with him? He's just a weak monkey. Just kill him and feed him to the fish and shrimp in the East China Sea."

As he spoke, his immortal sword was already drawn and slashed directly at the head of the Spirit Stone Monkey.

The Spirit Stone Monkey looked shocked and raised his oar to block. The result, of course, was that he was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

Seeing the oar broken in two in his hand, the Spirit Stone Monkey jumped directly into the East Sea and began to swim forward with all his might, looking utterly pathetic.

Since the Spirit Stone Monkey knew it wouldn't die, it naturally wouldn't use its cultivation to fight its opponent. Therefore, fleeing in a sorry state was definitely the best option. (End of Chapter)
