I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 112 Zhu Bajie

"Zhu Ganglie, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Master Wuchao's words made Zhu Ganglie's eyes full of confusion. It was not shock, but confusion. After all, he was so intelligent that anyone would want to rush to accept him as a disciple. He just didn't understand. Did the old man Wuchao really change sides?
A great saint from the West doesn't want Lingshan anymore?

Zhu Ganglie had a lot of thoughts in his mind, so he just knelt down in front of Ye Xuantian and kowtowed three times.

"Please let the saint make the decision!" Marshal Tianpeng was able to sit in the position of Tianhe Navy under the throne of Ziwei Emperor, so he was naturally not a fool. He knew very well that if Ye Xuantian had not taken action today, he would have died without a doubt.

The name Zhu Ganglie is a bit unpleasant, but he was born after all. Not dying in the womb is better than anything else. As the saying goes, "As long as there is life, there will be firewood to burn." Now that he is free, he will naturally not forget this kindness.

Not to mention that he had already fallen into Ye Xuantian's camp since the first time he took action to seal the Zen Master Wuchao. Even if he wanted to become a disciple, he should have worshipped Ye Xuantian as his master.

But after all, it was a game between two saints, and he didn't dare to make a rash judgment.

Zen Master Wuchao looked at this scene with an even more bitter expression on his face. If it was just a name bestowed by Ye Xuantian, then as long as Zhu Ganglie had just agreed, he would have been able to get some of the merit of accepting him as a disciple. However, Zhu Ganglie's kneeling meant that even accepting him as a disciple had become Ye Xuantian's agreement, and he really couldn't get any of the merit.

Ye Xuantian looked at Zen Master Wuchao and raised his eyebrows: "Saint, do you still want this disciple?"

Zen Master Wu Chao was filled with hatred, but he couldn't let go of this opportunity. After all, this was his best chance to mend his relationship with Ye Xuantian: "Yes!"

Ye Xuantian bowed to the Zen Master Wuchao: "Sage, righteousness!"

Ye Xuantian said these four words seriously, and his tone was so sincere that it made Wu Chao Zen Master's nose sore. Looking closely at Ye Xuantian's eyes, Wu Chao Zen Master couldn't help but sigh, "Ran Deng has some kind of fate. I am really curious whether he can really reshape his Dharma body and whether he can really be taken to the Great Dao by fellow Taoists to have a look."

Ye Xuantian's lips curled up slightly: "It might have been a little difficult before, but today the Saint has taken in Zhu Ganglie, so it's almost a sure thing."

Zen Master Wu Chao was stunned. Shock flashed in his eyes at first, then he was relieved. "Hahahaha, every sip and every bite has its destiny. I admit, he sees further than I do."

Zen Master Wuchao looked at Zhu Ganglie who was still thinking and could not help but laugh and scolded him, "Zhu Ganglie, why don't you become my disciple now!"

After receiving the reminder, Zhu Ganglie glanced at Ye Xuantian again. Seeing Ye Xuantian's smiling face, Zhu Ganglie turned around and kowtowed heavily to Zen Master Wuchao. "Zhu Ganglie greets Master!"

"The name Zhu Ganglie is indeed a good name for raising children, but since you've become my disciple, this name seems a bit too cheap!"

Zen Master Wuchao looked at Ye Xuantian and said, "Zhu Ganglie, you were banished to the lower world because of your lust for beauty. You were then born from blood and water. You are a water-soaked pig, so you should be Shui Hai! You control the seven emotions and six desires. If you want to achieve success in your practice, you must observe the precepts!"

"Buddhism has eight precepts: one is to abstain from killing, two is to abstain from stealing, three is to abstain from sexual misconduct, four is to abstain from lying, five is to abstain from drinking alcohol, six is ​​to abstain from touching incense and flowers, seven is to abstain from sitting or lying on a high and wide bed, and eight is to abstain from eating at inappropriate times. So, I'll call you Zhu Bajie, taking your surname from your birth date!"

The moment Zen Master Wuchao finished speaking, the blood color on Zhu Bajie's body faded, and eight golden lights emerged, adding a lot of sacred meaning to Zhu Bajie.

"What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Zen Master Wuchao looked at Ye Xuantian with a bit of complacency.

There was also a serious look in Ye Xuantian's eyes. When all the wonderful methods were put into practice, they actually led to the same destination. He could clearly feel a ray of merit and Taoism emerging in his body.

"The name chosen by the saint is extremely fitting!" Ye Xuantian sighed sincerely.

"Since fellow Daoist is here, why not give him a Dharma name?" Zen Master Wuchao said seriously, his smile dropping. Ye Xuantian smiled faintly, "So-called desires aren't completely useless. One should know what can and cannot be done. If he can understand this, then his practice will surely yield success. Let's call him Wuneng."

"Excellent!" Zen Master Wuchao praised, "Your research on Buddhism is quite impressive. Why not join our Buddhist sect? Then you can directly replace the Styx Patriarch and revive Lingshan."

"The Saint always wants to harm me. How can we not do this? Now we are allies and should be of the same blood. How can you always drag me into this!" Ye Xuantian teased.

"That's such a pity!" Zen Master Wuchao was just joking.

"Thank you, Master, for the name, and thank you, Saint, for the title!" Zhu Bajie spoke at the right time.

Zen Master Wu Chao looked at the swastika on his palm and the golden light, and immediately said seriously, "Since you have entered my sect, I naturally have a gift for you! This ray of Heavenly Dao True Spirit will greatly benefit your cultivation. After all, it was because of you that it fell, so I give it to you!"

As Zen Master Wuchao spoke, he cast the golden light into the center of Zhu Bajie's eyebrows.

In an instant, Zhu Bajie felt that the spiritual energy around his body was drained away, and his breath broke through at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon he reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Gradually the breathing stabilized.

"Thank you, Master!" Zhu Bajie's face was full of joy. He couldn't believe that he could recover his cultivation to such a level so easily.

"In this way, he is only half a step away from the Golden Immortal. He will be able to catch up with fellow Taoist disciples and will not become a burden!" Zen Master Wuchao exhaled deeply.

He was really worried that Zhu Bajie's cultivation would stop at the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, which would be too embarrassing. Now that the journey to the West has begun, if Zhu Bajie cannot reach the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal as soon as possible, he will be suppressed by Sun Wukong.

“If it weren’t for the Saint’s magnanimity, he would never have been able to reach this point so easily!”

Ye Xuantian walked to Zhu Bajie's side: "Bajie!"

"Here!" Zhu Bajie responded in a daze.

"Now that you have officially become a member of the group traveling west, I want to take something from you. Are you willing?"

"Saint, please do as you please! This life of mine was given by you, so you can do whatever you want!" Zhu Bajie's answer was particularly frank. As he said, he was now demoted to the mortal world, but he was able to reach the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in one day.

This was all Ye Xuantian's gift, so he had special trust in Ye Xuantian.

"This thing won't do you any harm, because you can't use it!"

Ye Xuantian pointed at Zhu Bajie's eyebrows, and endless magic power surged behind him. Two jade discs of creation, the earth and the human, emerged.

Suddenly, a light appeared above Zhu Bajie's head. It was a golden light, but it was completely different from the previous Heavenly Spirit. The original aura on it was extremely rich.

"The origin of desire!" Zen Master Wuchao swallowed subconsciously!
