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

Chapter 129 The Road to Heaven is Wide and Broad! [Second Update, Please Continue Reading]

Guanyin was quite helpless.

She did not want to sever ties with the Li family, so she never asked Muzha to abandon his family or renounce worldly desires.

They even took the initiative to arrange for Muzha to visit home, just to enhance their close relationship with the Li family.

After all, Li Jing was a prized disciple of the past Buddha Dipankara, and she, as a high-ranking member of the present Buddha lineage, naturally wanted to win him over to jointly attack the future Buddha lineage.

But then again, she didn't actually put much effort into this before Huang Mei was born.

The reason is quite simple. At that time, it was a consensus in Buddhism that there was no successor to the future Buddha. Although no one said it, who hadn't secretly mocked that everyone in the inner court of Tushita Heaven except for the future Buddha was a good-for-nothing?

Who would have thought that as the curtain slowly rose on Journey to the West, Huang Mei would suddenly emerge as a dark horse, seemingly standing at the forefront of the trend, displaying his full abilities.

Even when the dragon maiden under her command and the celestial boy under Lingji Bodhisattva joined forces, they could hardly restrain the other party.

The only one who could hold his own against him, Mu Zha, had a complicated family situation.

"Enough, enough, that's reality, we can't force it; Dragon Girl, Zhifeng, you two do your best."

After regaining her senses, Guanyin sighed softly and said in a low voice.

half an hour.

The Dragon Girl led Zhi Feng away from the Purple Bamboo Forest and arrived in Wuji Kingdom ahead of the westward journey team. There, in her true form and under her real name, she met the Lion Monster in the magnificent palace. The Lion Monster wore a crown that reached the sky, a jade belt around his waist, and a yellow robe with dragons and phoenixes, and had the appearance and identity of someone else.

At the same time, seeing the distance and wariness in the other party's eyes, the Dragon Girl learned from her previous experience and did not dare to say that she had come to help the other party.

To prevent the other party from suspecting again, like Gold and Silver Horns, that their true purpose was to claim credit.

Therefore, after discussing their camaraderie and describing Huang Mei's prowess, she smiled and offered him a willow leaf, thoughtfully instructing him that if he encountered any difficulties, he should activate the willow leaf with his magic, and they would definitely help him if they could.

This approach successfully dispelled the lion-like monster's worries. Not only did it accept the offer readily, but it also felt a sense of gratitude, and immediately treated the two of them to a state banquet.

After several rounds of drinks, when the Dragon Girl said that only the willow branch could resist the human-skin bag, the lion-like monster suddenly asked, "Dragon Girl, I've heard that the willow branch has the ability to regenerate severed limbs, and even bring the dead back to life. Is that true?"

Sudhana's expression changed slightly, and she asked in return, "Why do you ask this?"

The lion-like creature said strangely, "If it is true, I would like to ask the Dragon Girl to help me grow my reproductive organs again."

Sudhana's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly said, "No! No!"

"I know what you're worried about. I can assure you that I will never engage in promiscuous behavior in the harem, and I will not reveal this matter to any outsiders," the lion-like monster said solemnly.

Sudhana said, "I don't have that ability. Therefore, after this ordeal is over, you should ask Manjushri Bodhisattva to help. I think that with this merit as a foundation, the Bodhisattva will probably not refuse."

Upon hearing her words, the lion-like monster's expression immediately turned indifferent.

Regardless of whether Manjushri Bodhisattva would refuse, if he were to be reduced from being an emperor to a mere mount, how would he have the chance to eat meat again?

That's why, after the banquet ended, he didn't even try to keep the two of them, which created a rift between them.

the other side.

Lotus Cave.

Huang Mei transformed all the merits he had recently acquired into cultivation resources, sat cross-legged on a yellow futon, and frantically expanded his Earth Immortal domain.

100,000 li — 200,000 li — 300,000 li —

The diameter of the domain grew larger and larger, and the boundaries of the domain became increasingly magnificent.

It was just like a celestial realm being nurtured, except that it was empty and devoid of anything else, except that terrifying power flowed within the territory.

a few days later.

The domain's diameter reached a terrifying 700,000 miles, with powerful immortal energy surging endlessly.

He's only 30% away from breaking through to this level.

Unfortunately, the immortal resources in his possession were also exhausted at this moment, including the energy in the Book of Awakening, which was also completely depleted.

"It gets harder to advance further in the ranks; no wonder celestial beings are considered the backbone of the Heavenly Court."

Silently concealing the celestial aura emanating from his body, Huang Mei muttered to himself.

In this world, what humans call attaining immortality is becoming a human immortal. If something unexpected happens but the soul is not scattered, then the cultivation level is a ghost immortal.

Therefore, ghost immortals are slightly inferior to human immortals, and are equivalent to an incomplete version of human immortals.

Of course, there is always a way out. Ghost immortals can also use various methods to repair their damage, return to the righteous path of human immortals, and then re-enter the promotion sequence.

This sequence, from top to bottom, consists of Heaven, Earth, Gods, Humans, and Ghosts.

Most of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers were mortal immortals; ordinary heavenly generals were mostly gods.

Immortal cultivators who can be promoted to Earth Immortals are already considered to be in the lower to middle ranks of the Heavenly Court's forces.

Advancing from a terrestrial immortal to a celestial immortal allows one to rise to a mid-to-high-level leadership position.

For example, when Zhu Bajie ascended to heaven, he was a celestial being and received the position of marshal.

Of course, his ability to become a marshal was secondary; his primary motivation was his background and connections.

As for those above the Celestial Immortal level, such as Golden Immortal, Taiyi, and Daluo, none of them are ordinary. Generally, the higher one's strength, the higher one's status.

After all, in this world where strength reigns supreme, aside from background factors, status is purely a symbol of strength, and strength is the foundation of status.

"Once Tang Sanzang crosses a few more mountains and countries, I will surely be able to attain the Dao and become a celestial being."

After regaining his senses, he slowly rose from the futon, a confident smile spreading across his yellow-browed face.

To reiterate, he doesn't need to accumulate the necessary resources for a breakthrough year after year, nor does he need to break through realms through the kind of gradual, persistent effort required.

With the Journey to the West as his path to heaven, it's only a matter of time before he ascends to the celestial realm, and that time won't be too far off.

after all.

It has only been four years since he came down the mountain.

Four years is nothing. Let alone immortals, even a wandering immortal would need hundreds of years to complete a single breakthrough.

After a long while.

Huang Mei gradually calmed his joy and excitement, rode the clouds and flew straight west.

Before long, he quietly boarded the westward-bound group, looked out from the air, and silently calculated the distance. He figured that it would take them at least ten days to half a month before they could truly enter the territory of Wuji Kingdom.

"This time, however, should not be wasted."

Silently withdrawing his gaze, Huang Mei's eyes flickered, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

He transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace, and under the cover of darkness, landed in the royal garden of Wuji Kingdom, stopping in front of a lush banana tree.

In the original story, Sun Wukong tricked Zhu Bajie into believing there was treasure under the banana tree, thus convincing the fool to work hard and move the banana tree, reopen the well, and carry the corpse into the water.

No wonder Pigsy retaliated later, preventing him from going to the underworld to find Yama to resurrect the king, and instead sending him to the Tushita Palace to ask Laozi for the elixir of immortality.

Silently casting a spell, he moved the banana leaves aside, revealing the well opening, and Huang Mei jumped straight into it.

In an instant, its body descended rapidly under the force of gravity and its own propulsion, sinking to the bottom of the water. At first, the view was dark and narrow, but as it moved forward, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

Looking closely, one can see a gleaming archway standing in the wide expanse of water. A wooden plaque hangs on the archway, bearing three large gilded characters that read "Crystal Palace".
