Journey to the West: Upon seeing the Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon, why not pay homage?

Zhifeng has a very obvious weakness, or rather, a fatal flaw: he cannot tolerate anyone attacking or humiliating his beloved.

Once someone crosses this "red line," they are prone to losing control of their emotions and becoming impulsive.

As we all know, it is difficult for people to weigh the pros and cons when they are in an impulsive state. Just like at this moment, questioning is almost his instinctive reaction.

However, King Silver Horn loathed being questioned, and his brows immediately furrowed as he coldly retorted:

"Isn't that clear enough? We brothers have our own methods; why would we need your help?"

Seeing that Zhifeng was about to say something more, the Dragon Girl, sensing something was wrong, hurriedly took her leave and dragged him away from the Lotus Cave.

It's one thing if an alliance fails to materialize, but turning into enemies over a single disagreement is even more detrimental to future plans and strategies.

If it weren't for the fact that she needed Zhifeng to share the responsibility for the failure, she really wouldn't want to take him along anymore.

Leaving aside the fact that it wasn't very successful, the main problem was that it was too much trouble...

On an unnamed, desolate mountain.

Huang Mei's cultivation level was still rising rapidly, and the booming growth of the Earth Immortal realm showed no signs of abating.

Finally, accompanied by a deafening roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, the diameter of the domain finally broke through the 100,000 limit, successfully bringing his cultivation level to the sixth level of the Earth Immortal realm!

For a mortal to cultivate immortality, breaking through from the seventh level of the Divine Immortal Realm to the sixth level of the Earth Immortal Realm in just a few years, advancing eight levels in a row, is nothing short of a myth for immortal cultivators who need to meditate, endure years of hardship, and accumulate potential.

Huang Mei was overjoyed, but did not lose his composure. After calming himself down, he immediately rode the wind and flew westward on the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Western Paradise and stepped into the inner court of Tushita Heaven. He quietly avoided the crowd and went straight to the outside of Maitreya's meditation room.

"Disciple Huangmei greets Master."

As soon as the words were spoken, the wooden door to the meditation room slowly opened, and the voice of Donglai Buddha came from within: "Come in."

"Thank you, Master."

Huang Mei silently straightened up and stepped into the room.

On the meditation bed.

The Buddha Donglai smiled as he looked at his prized disciple, raised his hand and summoned a divine pearl that shone with dazzling golden light, then pushed it through the air in front of the disciple:

"The magic weapon has been integrated very well. In addition to its original advantages or effects, it has gained two extra functions."

One of its functions is to store immortal energy, which can be used in emergencies.

Secondly, it possesses considerable offensive capabilities, and its sturdiness far surpasses that of the past.

Huang Mei accepted the golden divine pearl with both hands, his face full of gratitude as he spoke:

"Thank you, Master."

Donglai Buddha waved his hand: "No need to stand on ceremony... Do you have anything else to do? If not, go and do your work."

Huang Mei silently accepted the divine pearl, then lowered his eyes and said, "There is indeed something I would like to ask Master."

"Speak freely." Buddha Donglai nodded slightly.

Huang Mei asked, "Master, can the Future Awakening Book automatically absorb ripples of thought? Or rather, what conditions must be met for it to absorb them automatically?"

During his practice, he gradually discovered that once he devoted himself to planning and strategizing, it was difficult to balance the overall situation with collecting the ripples of his thoughts.

Unless you prioritize taking action in any plan, or even make it your primary objective, it is often difficult to find the best time to take action.

The problem is, if they actually did that, not only would it be incredibly troublesome, but the variables would also increase significantly, which in turn would affect the plan, causing them considerable distress…

As someone who has been through it all, how could Donglai Buddha not know this?

"In fact, I did consider the possibility of taking it automatically, but after careful consideration, I ultimately decided against it. Do you know why?"

"Please enlighten me, Master," Huang Mei said humbly, his hands clasped together.

Donglai Buddha smiled slightly: "Because automation means losing absolute control, making it easy for the enemy to exploit."

In other words, if your opponent knows that you can automatically absorb thought ripples, do you think they might try to exploit that?

If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

If the Book of Future Awakening is indoctrinated with filth and its foundation is corrupted, then this is truly losing more than one gains for a small gain.

That being said, collecting mental ripples for cultivation simply opens another door to your cultivation; it doesn't force you to abandon your original path of cultivation. It's not a difficult choice between two options.

Huang Mei was deeply moved and respectfully said, "I humbly accept your instruction."

"It's good that you understand."

Donglai Buddhist Taoism: "Whether it's the Book of Awakening the World in the Future or resources of the Immortal Path, they are just tools to help you improve yourself."

Only your own cultivation level is fundamental; the tools you use to improve it are not important.

Huang Mei nodded and said, "This disciple understands."

"Go now, your master looks forward to your new performance." Donglai Buddha waved with a smile.

at the same time.

On the westward journey.

Seeing that Tang Sanzang and his disciples were about to arrive at the outer area of ​​Pingdingshan, the duty officer hurriedly transformed into a woodcutter in the mountains, stood in front of the slope, and raised his axe to chop down trees.

"Tap tap tap..."

A moment later, hearing the sound of horses' hooves behind him, the woodcutter suddenly turned around and shouted, "Stop!"

Tripitaka reined in his horse, gazing intently at the figure: "What instructions do you have, benefactor?"

The woodcutter said, "Elder, there is a group of vicious demons in these mountains. They draw shadows and images and want to eat Tang Sanzang, who has cultivated for ten lifetimes, in order to gain immortality. Elder, your demeanor is just like that of Tang Sanzang. Don't let the demons mistakenly eat you."

Sun Wukong flew down from the clouds and chuckled, "It's not just that our demeanor is similar; my master is Tang Sanzang!"

The woodcutter was shocked: "Then you must not go into the mountains! Leave quickly and go back to where you came from, lest you lose your life."

Sun Wukong could tell that this woodcutter was no ordinary person, so he suppressed the urge to directly expose him and instead asked:

"May I ask, brother, what kind of monster dwells in these mountains, and what vicious methods it possesses?"

The woodcutter said, "This is the territory of Pingdingshan. Deep in the mountains is a Lotus Cave, where two great demons dwell, one gold and one silver. The gold one is called King Golden Horn, and the silver one is called King Silver Horn. They wield five divine weapons. Even if you are exceptionally capable, you will not be their match."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up slightly, and he pressed for details, asking, "Which five divine weapons?"

The woodcutter told him the truth, then immediately slung his firewood over his shoulder: "I've said everything I need to say. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a stubborn fool. If you insist on going your own way, I won't stop you."

After saying that, he turned and left, his figure moving like lightning.

Pigsy exclaimed in astonishment, "Was that woodcutter a man or a ghost? How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"I'll go investigate. Pigsy, you and Sandy protect Master."

Sun Wukong responded and immediately gave chase, soon following the other person up onto the cloud.

"Great Sage, stop chasing! Stop chasing!" The woodcutter transformed back into his original form in mid-air and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"So it was you." Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes. "If you're going to give me a warning, then why play tricks? No, I mean, play tricks!"

The duty officer dared not reveal anything about Master Xuandu, only emphasizing that he knew nothing about it. But since he knew about the evil spirits in the mountains, how could he not report it?

Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Sun Wukong didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, but instead thought to himself:

In the past, when we encountered monsters, these guardian deities never warned us. If something is unusual, there must be something wrong.

Thinking of this, he somersaulted and landed right next to Bai Susu: "Susu, something's not right, go tell your second brother quickly..."
