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

Chapter 145 Settlement, Seventh Level of Earth Immortal!

As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad.

Compared to the Buddha of the East and others, Manjushri was always depressed.

After bidding farewell to the Buddha and returning to the Wutai Mountain Buddhist temple, he locked himself in his meditation room and chanted scriptures repeatedly in hopes of calming his mind.

He once thought that he had a very strong mindset, that he was neither elated by external gains nor saddened by personal losses, and that he was even detached from worldly affairs.

But now, after this incident, he has a clearer understanding of himself.

So-called detachment simply means that you have never lost anything that would cause you heartache.

For example, when a person is rolling in money, why would they be upset if they lost three or five coins?

But when all the wealth is gone in one day, what is there to grieve over? This pain is simply unbearable!

"Master, Zhifeng, a disciple of Bodhisattva Lingji, requests an audience."

As the light in the meditation room gradually dimmed with the sunset, a young man dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, with a languid demeanor and bright eyes, slowly approached the wooden door and bowed in greeting.

Manjushri slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What is it?"

"I've come to tell you the truth about Wuji Kingdom," the boy replied.

Manjushri's cheek twitched slightly. He waved his sleeve to open the door and said in a deep voice, "Bring him here."

"Yes."

The boy nodded and quickly led Zhifeng over.

"Greetings, Venerable One." Upon meeting, Zhifeng bowed deeply, demonstrating his respectful attitude.

Manjushri looked at the other person through the door and asked, "Rise, what truth do you want to tell me?"

Zhi Feng straightened up silently and said seriously, "Our Buddhist sect has a traitor! The case of Wuji Kingdom was a case in which the traitor contacted the Taoist sect to launch a hunting plan against you."

But because he hid so well and basically never made a formal appearance, he was overlooked by everyone and remained perfectly hidden.

""

Manjushri asked, "Who is this traitor you're talking about?"

"Who else could it be?"

Zhi Feng replied, "It is that disciple of the Buddha of the East, the Demon King of the Lesser Western Heaven, Huang Mei!"

Manjushri narrowed his eyes, sizing up the other person: "Does he have that ability?"

"Your Excellency may not know this, but this fiend is most adept at using minimal force to achieve maximum effect, and is even more skilled at secretly conspiring and plotting to harm people."

"The Lion-Monster was harmed by him, which is why he did so many wrong things, and that's how you got involved," Zhifeng said with a serious expression.

Manjushri said, "I understand. You may go back now."

Zhi Feng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Why doesn't Your Excellency capture him and interrogate him severely? If you can verify what I said, you can directly use torture."

"What if it can't be proven?" Manjushri asked in return.

Zhi Feng said, "Do you still need to worry about that now?"

Manjushri chuckled, his eyes icy cold: "Zhifeng, what do you take me for? A disposable consumable?"

Zhi Feng was greatly alarmed and immediately knelt down, kowtowing heavily: "Your Excellency is wise, this junior had no such intention. I only felt that this was an excellent opportunity to eliminate a huge hidden danger to my Buddhist lineage in this world!"

Seeing him nodding vigorously, the coldness in Manjushri's eyes gradually faded. After a moment's thought, he didn't grant the other's wish but instead asked, "Are you currently working with Sudhana to control Huangmei?"

Zhi Feng paused slightly and said softly, "Yes, but neither my senior sister nor I are his match."

Manjushri turned to his disciple and asked, "Baiyun, do you dare to give it a try?"

The young man in white cupped his hands and said, "I will obey Master's orders in everything."

"Alright, then you and Zhifeng can set off together to keep Huangmei in check," Manjushri said. "And while you're at it, help your master assess this fiend's true strength."

Zhifeng: "————"

This was not the result he wanted at all!

On the westward journey.

Wuji Middle School.

The king, who had been successfully resurrected and restored to his original position, kept the pilgrimage group for ten days straight, treating them to the best food and drink every day, almost to the point of having a whole team of servants to wait on them.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and even Sha Wujing were all enjoying themselves, reveling in the wonderful time after their victory.

However, Sanzang saw the hidden dangers beneath this comfortable life and repeatedly urged his disciples and Huangmei to embark on the journey to the West once again.

Seven or eight days passed, and the five people continued along the main road until they finally crossed the border of Wuji Kingdom.

In an instant, a line of golden characters flashed before Huang Mei's eyes:

[Ding! Congratulations on helping the pilgrimage team successfully pass through the Kingdom of Wuji. You have gained 30000 merit points, and your current merit balance is 33000 points.]

Huang Mei smiled slightly, then suddenly stopped: "Everyone, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

The three companions and the white dragon horse stopped in their tracks. Sun Wukong asked with concern, "Second brother, what's wrong? Do you need any help?"

Huang Mei waved his hand: "No need, no need. It's just that my cultivation is about to break through, and I need to find a place to cultivate in seclusion."

Pig Bajie:

"————"

Sha Wujing:

No.

Another breakthrough is imminent?

How long has it been since he last broke through to the next realm?

Sun Wukong was not surprised, and waved with a smile: "Second brother, go ahead, we'll wait for you to come back."

Huang Mei smiled and nodded, glancing at Bai Susu who was still hiding in the shadows, before his body instantly turned into light and disappeared.

"From his perspective, cultivation isn't difficult. Were you three cultivating like this back then?"

On horseback, Sanzang suddenly asked his disciples a question.

Sun Wukong smiled and nodded: "More or less."

Pigsy and Sandy exchanged a glance, but neither of them uttered a sound.

After all, who wants to admit they're bad?

Not long after.

An unnamed, desolate mountain.

Huang Mei sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, converting all 30000 merits he had gained into various cultivation resources, and then put one pill after another into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly in his mouth, its pure medicinal power flowing directly to his limbs and bones, causing his entire body to heat up and become feverish.

Huang Mei continuously absorbed the medicinal power with his domain, causing the domain area to expand wildly again, from 700,000 miles to nearly a million miles.

He kept taking drugs.

Growth continues.

Because absorption couldn't keep up with supply, his pores emitted a faint divine glow, illuminating the entire hill.

"boom!"

After seven days and seven nights.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from Huang Mei's body, and the diameter of his domain finally broke through the million mark.

Looking out, the entire territory resembled a continent suspended in the dark space-time, with celestial light flowing above it and magical power surging.

The phrase "million mark" also allowed him to successfully break through to the seventh level of the Earth Immortal realm.

He is only two levels away from becoming a Celestial Immortal, one of the five supreme immortals of Heaven, Earth, Gods, Humans, Ghosts, and Immortals!

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

Slowly finishing his practice, Huang Mei suddenly stood up, unable to contain his joy, and burst into laughter. His voice, like a wave, swept in all directions, startling countless birds flying away in the distant mountains and forests.

a long time.

Huang Mei gradually calmed down his joy at breaking through to the next realm and sat cross-legged in the center of the formation again.

Although he successfully broke through to the next realm, he has not yet exhausted his resources and can continue to advance his cultivation, laying a higher foundation for the next breakthrough!

the next day.

Early in the morning.

The Dragon Girl, Zhifeng, and Baiyun, who had just joined the group, rode their clouds to catch up with the pilgrimage team and looked down at the people below.

"Senior sister, what exactly is the next trial?"

Seeing Sun Wukong looking in their direction, Zhifeng felt inexplicably guilty and looked away, asking softly.
