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

The demon master Kunpeng said, "Do you know why that glass lamp oil could greatly improve your cultivation?"

Yellow Wind Monster shook his head blankly, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. He knew that Demon Master Kunpeng wouldn't have asked such a question without a scheme in mind.

The demon master Kunpeng sighed and said, "Because the lamp oil contained a spiritual medicine that could understand the origin of demonic cultivation. The old Buddha deliberately let you steal it."

"It's all to lure you in. Once you eat that lamp oil and become the Yellow Wind Venerable of Buddhism, you will gradually forget your past life and only know that you are a Buddhist disciple."

Upon hearing this, Huang Fengguai was shocked: "Is this true? Then the little demon is in imminent danger! Please, Demon Master, save the little demon's life."

Demon Master Kunpeng nodded and said, "Now you have two choices: one is to continue being a lackey of Buddhism, but in the end, you will inevitably be discarded after the rabbit is killed."

"Secondly, you can return to the demonic path and help Sun Wukong and the others break this deadlock. At that time, I will definitely take you back to the Northern Sea, rejoin the demon race, and no longer be bullied by the Buddhist sect."

Yellow Wind Monster hesitated and said, "But that Bodhisattva Samantabhadra has great magical power. Even if I wanted to be his enemy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat him even once."

Demon Master Kunpeng laughed and shook his head, saying, "You only know the power of Buddhist Bodhisattvas, but you don't know the supernatural abilities of my demon race. With me here, what can Samantabhadra do to you? Just act according to your own will, and I will take action when necessary."

Having said that, the demon master Kunpeng transformed into a streak of azure light and vanished. The Yellow Wind Monster stood there dumbfounded for a long time before finally making up his mind.

The Yellow Wind Monster stepped out of his cave and saw a fierce battle raging outside. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva had already revealed his six-zhang-tall golden body and was suppressing Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie in a fight.

Yellow Wind Monster took a deep breath and suddenly shouted to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, "Bodhisattva, stop! This little demon has something to say."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was taken aback, and said coldly to the Yellow Wind Monster, "You beast, what do you have to say now? Quickly lend me a hand and kill Qin Qiong."

Yellow Wind Monster shook his head and said, "Bodhisattva, after much thought, I believe it is unwise to be an enemy of the Human King. I urge you to stop and personally go to Chang'an to apologize to the Human King."

Upon hearing Huang Fengguai's words, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra was furious. He gritted his teeth and spoke.

"What did you say? You actually want this humble monk to apologize to Li Shimin? Could it be that you, you wicked beast, intend to betray Buddhism?"

Yellow Wind Monster said frankly, "It's not betrayal, but awakening. Those who claim to be compassionate at the gates of Buddhism set up obstacles and traps at every turn. How are they any different from demons?"

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was furious and sent out a Buddha hand to grab at the Yellow Wind Monster: "You wicked beast, you're asking for death!"

Just then, a giant claw suddenly appeared in the sky and crushed the Buddha's hand with a gentle squeeze.

At the same time, the voice of the demon master Kunpeng resounded throughout the heavens and earth, "Puxian, what kind of skill is it to bully my demon clan's juniors? Come, come, let me exchange a few moves with you."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's expression changed drastically, after all, he never dreamed that the Demon Master Kunpeng would be involved. That was a powerful figure from Zixiao Palace who survived the great calamity of the Lich King and listened to the Dao.

Although his cultivation level has not yet reached sainthood, it is estimated that he has reached the peak of half-step sainthood. How could he, a mid-stage quasi-saint, compare with him?

They could only verbally provoke Demon Master Kunpeng, hoping he would assess the situation and not get involved in the Journey to the West: "Demon Master Kunpeng, how dare you interfere in the Journey to the West? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Dao Ancestor?"

Demon Master Kunpeng laughed and said, "You Buddhist sects are allowed to scheme against my demon race, but my demonic path is not allowed to retaliate? What kind of logic is that?"

"Today, I will seek justice for the black bear and this yellow-haired weasel, and let your Buddhist sect know that my demon race is not something you can manipulate at will."

Having said that, the giant claw reached out to grab Samantabhadra again. Samantabhadra hurriedly used his thousand hands to defend himself, but he was clearly at a disadvantage. Seeing this, Sun Wukong naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to beat a drowning dog. He exchanged a glance with Zhu Bajie, then brandished his golden cudgel and charged towards Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Since the Buddhist sect has already abandoned all pretense and personally stepped in to create difficulties, Sun Wukong has nothing to care about anymore.

With his cultivation level, he could have easily made Samantabhadra Bodhisattva kneel and beg for mercy. However, it was not advisable to reveal his true cultivation level at this moment.

Now that the demon master Kunpeng is here, he can take the opportunity to kill Bodhisattva Samantabhadra without being suspected by others.

Sun Wukong's golden cudgel transformed into a colossal pillar, crashing down upon them. Zhu Bajie also revealed his Heavenly Canopy form, his nine-toothed rake sweeping across with the power of the Milky Way.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Samantabhadra was thrown into disarray. To make matters worse, the Yellow Wind Demon also mustered his courage and unleashed the Samadhi Wind, but this time it was not directed at the Tang army, but at Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Samantabhadra could no longer hold on; his six-zhang golden body shattered, and he coughed up blood as he flew backward. He glared venomously at the crowd before preparing to transform into a beam of light and escape.

However, the demon master Kunpeng was already high in the clouds, observing Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's every move. Upon discovering that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was trying to escape, he coldly snorted and said, "You think you can escape from me?"

The enormous roc claw reappeared, but this time it did not strike directly. Instead, its five fingers rotated, forming an ancient and profound hand seal.

In an instant, the world darkened, and the stars in the heavens seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, pouring their starlight into this celestial realm.

A chaotic barrier covering thousands of miles suddenly appeared, completely locking down the space.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's blood-escape golden light crashed into the invisible barrier and bounced back with a bang, instantly turning his face as pale as paper.

"The Zhou Tian Star Formation? Impossible, how could you possibly set up the Zhou Tian Star Formation?"

Demon Master Kunpeng sneered and said, "Although this formation is not the true Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation, it is enough to kill a Buddhist waste like you."

Seeing countless stars fall from the sky, and the power of the stars intertwine to form a net of slaughter, enveloping him, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva let out a mournful roar, "My life is over."

Just when he was in despair, another unexpected event occurred. From the western horizon, a distant and peaceful Buddhist chant suddenly resounded.

As the Buddhist chant pierced through the Zhou Tian Star Array, an old monk with a withered face and emaciated figure appeared in mid-air.

It was the benevolent incarnation of the Guide Daoist, the Guide Buddha. Although the Guide Buddha was only a benevolent incarnation, his cultivation was comparable to that of the Demon Master Kunpeng.

The Buddha of Guidance spoke with a dry smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, this is a tribulation for a junior. It would be beneath your dignity for you to personally participate."

The azure light transformed from the demon master Kunpeng condensed in the clouds, revealing the Dharma body of a handsome Taoist in black robes, who stood with his hands behind his back.

He sneered and said, "You Buddhist sect first used despicable means to convert my demon race, and now you blame me for interfering."

"Don't tell me you're just a saint incarnate. Even if your true self, the Guide Daoist, came, you'd still have to give me an explanation today."

After bowing, the Buddha said, "The arising and ceasing of things are all predetermined. The Yellow Wind Monster has a karmic connection with the Buddha; this is ordained by Heaven."

"Puxian may act hastily, but his heart remains with the Buddha's teachings. If you insist on taking action against him, it may trigger the old agreement of Zixiao Palace, causing another war between the two races. Are you willing to bear such karmic consequences?" (End of Chapter)
