Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 418 Guanyin

As night fell and the starlight and moonlight gently shone down, Niu Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the earthen bed cultivating, suddenly felt a gentle gaze fall upon him.

Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar figure smiling at him from the opposite side.

"Benefactor, this humble monk greets you."

Niu Yi turned his head and glanced at Niu Guangze, who was fast asleep beside him. A spiritual force silently enveloped Niu Guangze.

Guanyin Bodhisattva watched this scene quietly, but the gaze in her eyes seemed to soften a little.

Niu Yi's figure transformed into a beam of light and quickly appeared in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Niu Yi greets Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled softly.

"Oh? It's Niu Yi, not Niu Sanjin's eldest son, Niu Guangyi?"

Although the Bodhisattva was asking Niu Yi a question, his tone remained gentle, and his voice brought a sense of peace to the heart.

Niu Yi said calmly:
"It is Niu Yi, the eldest son of the Niu family, Niu Guangyi."

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the calm expression in Niu Yi's eyes and nodded slightly.

"Very well, this humble monk understands. Since you accept my identity in this world, that would be the best."

"May I ask if this fellow Daoist could tell me from which world within the chaos you come from, and what brings you here?"

Niu Yi glanced at the suddenly appearing Guanyin Bodhisattva with some surprise. This deity from this world was surprisingly frank.

If he wasn't mistaken, this person should also be a Great Luo Immortal in this world. However, with such divinity and eyes, this person must also be a person with Buddha-nature in their heart.

This was the first deity he encountered in this world, which was a good thing for him.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't mind. Although I feel a sense of kinship with you for some reason, it's better to be frank about many things for the sake of both of us."

Niu Yi looked directly into the eyes of the person opposite him, and those equally honest eyes made Niu Yi nod slightly.

"I came to this world to seek the Heavenly Dao of this world, hoping to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit."

Niu Yi frankly stated his purpose for coming to this world, and Guanyin Bodhisattva on the other side did not seem to be so surprised.

"It is the will of Heaven!"

As Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped forward, the earthen house beside them suddenly disappeared. In an instant, the environment around them changed, and by the time Niu Yi came to his senses, they had already appeared in a land of stars.

“Fellow Daoist, although the Heavenly Dao of this world is under the control of the Jade Emperor, he does not prevent anyone from pursuing it. As long as you do not do anything that harms this world, no one will come to stop you.”

As soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, a golden light swiftly streaked across the sky.

Niu Yi glanced at the direction where the golden light disappeared, then looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva opposite him.

"I suppose Guanyin Bodhisattva has come to see me today because she has other things to say to me. Please speak frankly, Bodhisattva."

"it is good."

"Although I don't know how much you know about this world, I still want you to understand that this world only has five Dao Fruit realm cultivators and can only support these five."

"I didn't know you were pursuing the Primordial Dao Fruit before, so I came here specifically to remind you. If you wanted to break through to the Great Luo realm in this world, it would be extremely difficult." "But since you are pursuing the Primordial Dao Fruit, there is no need for such trouble."

Niu Yi nodded knowingly.

To put it bluntly, there are too many monks and not enough meat. The limit of this world is five Great Luo True Immortals, and the positions are obviously already full. Unless one of these five people leaves this world, but that's one person per position.

Among these people, those with strength will surely take care of themselves. Just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva in front of us, if she leaves, that position will probably be left to the Buddhist sect.

Although he has been reincarnated and become a person in this world, in his previous life he was still an outsider with no backing, so there was no place for him.

However, the Primordial Dao Fruit he sought was not among them. Guanyin Bodhisattva was clearly well aware that the Primordial Dao Fruit was not so easy to obtain. Otherwise, how could this fellow Daoist before her have been reincarnated from another world in the Chaos to their world?

Traveling through different worlds, comprehending the Way of Heaven, and seeking enlightenment of the Primordial Dao Fruit—Guanyin Bodhisattva once saw such a person.

For her, the most important thing was what kind of cultivator this person in front of her was. Now it seemed that this person was the same kind of being as the one from back then.

"Please rest assured, Guanyin Bodhisattva, I was reincarnated here solely to pursue the Primordial Dao Fruit, and I have no other thoughts."

Niu Yi spoke these words with great solemnity, and Guanyin Bodhisattva on the other side nodded slowly upon seeing this, her figure gradually disappearing from Niu Yi's sight.

"I understand."

As the Bodhisattva finished speaking, the scene before Niu Yi's eyes changed again, and he returned to his own house.

Niu Yi let out a soft breath.

From the moment that bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, he knew that he had been exposed. He just didn't expect that it would be Guanyin Bodhisattva herself who came.

And this person has probably been following him for a while now.
"Now that we've gotten through this hurdle, I can finally relax a lot."

Niu Yi himself had been waiting for this day; it was only a matter of time for him. Now that this matter was settled, he could focus on his cultivation.

Guanyin Bodhisattva's opinion of him will surely affect some beings, which is a good thing for him. It would be best if he could avoid using the treasure boat given to him by his second senior brother.

"Phew, that scared the chicken to death! I was telling you, were you just as careless during your previous reincarnation cultivation? You actually managed to offend a Grand Luo Immortal so quickly!"

Upon hearing a breath in his mind, Niu Yi chuckled softly and offered words of comfort:
“I didn’t expect that cultivating the Heavenly Treasure Technique would attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao of this world. However, the Heavenly Dao did not show any hostility at that time, otherwise I would have activated the Universal Mirror long ago and taken you away.”

"However, the very fact that Guanyin Bodhisattva came here says a lot."

"Humph."

The rooster snorted but didn't say anything.

What Niu Yi didn't know was that even though he had left the Three Realms and reincarnated to cultivate again, his greatest support was still his master, Bodhi Patriarch.

I've personally witnessed how protective that person is of their own. If Niu Yi really encounters any trouble that they can't handle, this person is unlikely to sit idly by.

Back then, the Bodhi Patriarch sent it to the Three Realms across countless chaotic worlds. So many years have passed, who knows what level it has reached?

Even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, chaos is an endless expanse; perhaps this is not the case for these beings.
Niu Yi was still unaware of the old rooster's thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he turned back to the earthen bed, sat cross-legged, and began his cultivation.

No matter what, his cultivation and strength will always be his source of confidence.
