Chat group: Among all the heavens, I am the Bull Demon King!

Chapter 16 Fate, Luck, and Feng Shui: The Buddha's Light Beneath the Five Elements Mountain!

The Great Sage Jiao Demon King, who overturns the seas, escapes into the Boundless Sea while being pursued by the dragon clans of the four seas. The Great Sage Peng Demon King, who overturns the heavens, is rescued by a great demon from Beiju Luzhou while being pursued by the Four Heavenly Kings. The whereabouts of the other three demons are unknown.

"Thank you for telling me, Marshal. I am very grateful."

Niu Jun gave Zhu Ganglie a meaningful look, then cupped his hands in a gesture of feigned gratitude.

He knew that Zhu Ganglie was hiding something in this matter, but he didn't investigate further. After all, he wasn't familiar with his predecessor's sworn brothers. Asking Zhu Ganglie about this matter was also to maintain his predecessor's public image.

After all, it is well known that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, is the most generous and righteous of all demons, with a wide circle of friends and is praised by all demons.

Now that he has reappeared amidst the Heavenly Court's pursuit, how could he not be concerned about the situation of his sworn brothers?

He really didn't care about his sworn brothers anymore.

Wouldn't that ruin his image as a righteous and chivalrous person?
At that time, other immortals, demons, gods, and monsters will have no idea how to slander him.

Therefore, after leaving the mountain, Niu Jun immediately went to Wuxing Mountain to rescue (visit) his seventh brother who was imprisoned under Wuxing Mountain.

As for the other five demons among the sworn brothers?

It's best if we can't get any information.

If we find out the information, then we should make a trip.

I'll just consider it as freeloading.

Therefore, although Niu Jun knew that Zhu Ganglie was hiding something from the other three demons and guessed that the other three demons were not in good condition, he did not investigate further and chose to remain ignorant.

It's not that he's disloyal.

Rather, he felt helpless and desperate.

We can't really go to war with Heaven and Mount Ling for the sake of a few drinking buddies, can we?

Isn't this crazy?

"but."

"If the other three demons are really captured by the Heavenly Court, I might as well use this to establish a relationship with the Heavenly Court and find a way to get them to grant me amnesty."

Niu Jun's mind raced, and he quickly came up with an idea.

As a rising star among the demon race, the Bull Demon King, whose name, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, resounds throughout the Three Realms, clearly could not possibly surrender directly to the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling. If he were to do so, others would inevitably see him as spineless.

However, in a different way, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, had to endure humiliation and accept the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty in order to save his sworn brother.

That would not be a stain, but a lasting reputation.

What is a persona?

That's just how people are portrayed!

Even if Niu Jun didn't care much about his reputation, it was still better to gain a good reputation while doing his own thing than to gain a bad reputation.

"However, this matter needs to be considered in the long run."

Niu Jun's mind raced, and he temporarily suppressed the thought.

Because one must be strong to forge iron.

To gain the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty, negotiate terms with them, and obtain favorable treatment, the Golden Immortal realm is insufficient.

After all, the Heavenly Court, as the largest power in the Journey to the West world, has existed since ancient times, with countless powerful figures and no shortage of Golden Immortal warriors.

In particular, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of Heaven, has experienced 1750 tribulations, each of which was a cycle of destruction in the Journey to the West world. His strength and realm are absolutely unfathomable and beyond the reach of ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Ordinary Golden Immortals would absolutely not catch the Jade Emperor's eye.

Therefore, if Niu Jun wanted to attract the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty and negotiate terms and treatment with the Heavenly Court, the Golden Immortal realm alone was not enough; it would be best to attain the Taiyi realm.

Before attaining the Taiyi Dao, even if one attracts the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty, one will not be taken seriously.

After all, not just any demon is called Sun Wukong.

Niu Jun thanked Zhu Ganglie, then glanced at the blazing sun overhead and took his leave.

"It's getting late, and I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer, Marshal. I'll visit again another day when I have time. Farewell." "Great Sage Equaling Heaven, you're too kind. Since you have important matters to attend to, I won't keep you any longer. Take care, and I won't see you off!"

Zhu Ganglie breathed a sigh of relief.

Niu Jun had put too much pressure on him, making him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. It was obviously the best that he could be dismissed so easily.

Niu Jun smiled at this, said nothing more, cupped his hands in greeting, and rode away on a cloud.

……

After leaving Fuling Mountain.

Niu Jun flew directly towards the Five Elements Mountain without stopping along the way.

Along the way, he also passed through Black Wind Mountain and Eagle Sorrow Stream.

In Black Wind Mountain, there was a demon king at the Golden Immortal realm.

That demon king was probably a black bear spirit who liked to preach, meditate, and refine elixirs. He stole Tang Sanzang's cassock on the journey to the West and was taken back to Mount Luojia in the South China Sea by Guanyin to become the mountain's guardian deity.

Niu Jun remotely sensed the strength of the black bear demon and discovered that it was also an unparalleled demon with a cultivation level that had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. No wonder it could fight Sun Wukong to a standstill in a short time.

Unfortunately, the Black Bear Spirit, like its predecessor the Bull Demon King, was a wild demon king who had not cultivated any profound skills or supernatural powers. Otherwise, its strength would definitely not be weaker than that of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

This left Niu Jun deeply moved.

There are countless talented people in the world, but unfortunately, while there are many talented horses, there are few discerning judges of horses.

Characters like Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon Horse were simply lucky, born into good circumstances, and received help from benefactors.

If it were a fair competition, countless beings in the Three Realms could surpass them.

It's no wonder that people often say: "First is fate, second is luck, third is feng shui, fourth is accumulating good deeds, fifth is studying, sixth is name, seventh is appearance, eighth is respecting gods, ninth is associating with noble people, and tenth is maintaining health!"

There's really no comparison between two fates.

Of course, as a time traveler, Niu Jun was one of those time travelers who possessed two cheat codes, so he wasn't particularly envious of Sun Wukong and the others.

I was just slightly moved after seeing the Black Bear Spirit.

Beyond Black Wind Mountain lies Eagle's Sorrow Gorge.

At this time, Eagle Sorrow Gorge, like Yellow Wind Ridge, had not yet welcomed its true master, Little White Dragon Ao Lie. Instead, it was occupied by a Golden Immortal Realm dragon, perhaps a pre-arranged plan by the dragon race.

But whatever schemes are behind Eagle Sorrow Gorge, they have little to do with Niu Jun, and he has no interest in getting involved.

After all, the human fortune of the Earthly Immortal Realm is of little use to him. With the aid of the Enlightenment Mirror, the human fortune is merely icing on the cake.

He wouldn't need to provoke the dragon race for the sake of humanity's fortune.

Not long after passing Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, Niu Jun saw a magnificent scene of countless golden rays, auspicious clouds, and boundless Buddhist light illuminating the ten directions of heaven and earth.

I saw this scene through my divine eye.

Niu Jun then understood why the Bull Demon King in the original story did not visit Sun Wukong when Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

Because the entire area within a thousand miles of the Five Elements Mountain has been shrouded in terrifying Buddhist light, transforming it into a Buddhist kingdom on earth, every blade of grass and every rock has been imbued with Buddhist nature.

If any demons were to recklessly approach the Five Elements Mountain, they would likely be suppressed and converted by the Buddha's light before even seeing Sun Wukong.

This explains why, in the original story, not only did the Bull Demon King and other demons never visit Sun Wukong at Five Elements Mountain, but even the immortals and gods that Sun Wukong made in heaven never visited him.

"Trouble!"

Niu Jun looked at the Five Elements Mountain not far ahead, his brows furrowed tightly.

Because he dared not guarantee that he could withstand the baptism of the Buddha's light of the Five Elements Mountain and not be converted by the omnipresent Buddha nature and Buddha's light in the Five Elements Mountain area.

To be converted by Buddhism just to see Sun Wukong is truly a must.

If this gets out...

He, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, will definitely become the biggest laughing stock in the Three Realms, and will be ridiculed by the immortals, gods, and demons of the Journey to the West world for tens of thousands of years.
