The Primordial Giant Spirit God captures Sun Wukong at the start.

Before the news of the Yellow Wind Monster's death even reached Bodhisattva Lingji's ears, it terrified General Rolling Curtain.

That's right!

He was the chosen one appointed by Heaven.

But so what?

Tang Sanzang didn't even give face to Lingji Bodhisattva, so how could he easily let go of this enemy who had killed Tang Sanzang's nine incarnations?

Thus, General Curtain-Roller, disregarding the Heavenly Court's centuries-long scheme, fled the Flowing Sand River overnight.

The news quickly reached the Heavenly Court.

The entire Heavenly Court instantly erupted into chaos.

At this moment, atop the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor slammed the dragon table to pieces.

"You bastard!"

"I've gone to such lengths to plan for him, and he dares to desert his post?"

"Someone come here!"

"Descend to the mortal realm immediately and capture General Curtain-Rolling!"

While the Heavenly Court is taking action, things are also not peaceful in the Western Buddhist world.

At this moment, inside the Mahavira Hall.

Three thousand Buddhas gathered in one hall.

"What?"

"Tang Sanzang overcame five tribulations in a single day, and even killed the Yellow Wind Monster sent by the Buddhist sect?"

"Bodhisattva Lingji, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

At the prompting of the Tathagata, Dipankara Buddha spoke first.

Upon hearing this, Bodhisattva Lingji felt a sudden panic.

Throughout the entire Ling Mountain, who doesn't know that Tang Sanzang is the reincarnation of Master's disciple?

He didn't want to offend Tang Sanzang unless absolutely necessary!

But as one of the thousands of Bodhisattvas, he had finally managed to secure an opportunity to participate in the journey to the West. Was it easy for him?

Tang Sanzang ruined it for no reason, how could he just sit idly by?

Moreover, the Heavenly Court also corroborates this!

"Amitabha!"

"I humbly request the World Honored One and all Buddhas, this matter has already spread throughout the Heavenly Court and has even frightened away the chosen ones appointed by the Heavenly Court. I had no choice but to make this public because of the grand plan of the journey to the West. I beg the World Honored One's forgiveness!"

Buddha's expression immediately turned ugly.

What do you mean by "Please forgive me, monk"?

It's as if this whole thing was arranged by me!

He gave a cold snort without expression and turned to look at Guanyin Bodhisattva beside him.

"Didn't I tell you to remind Tang Sanzang to slow down?"

"How could such a mistake have occurred?"

Guanyin felt somewhat aggrieved upon hearing this.

After receiving the decree, she immediately went to the abode of the Medicine Buddha.

However, the Medicine Buddha was at the crucial stage of refining medicine and would not be able to emerge from seclusion for another day or two, so she could not force him to break the seclusion.

Thinking to myself, it's only a day or two, how could anything serious happen?

But who would have thought that Tang Sanzang would not play by the rules at all!

Five difficulties in one day!

At this rate, he'll be able to reach the foot of Mount Ling in less than a month!

"I inform the World Honored One that this matter was due to my negligence!"

"This humble monk will immediately head to the Flowing Sand River to stop Tang Sanzang!"

Buddha snorted coldly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This Jin Chanzi was, after all, the reincarnation of his disciple.

If something goes wrong, his reputation will suffer.

Guanyin's willingness to take the blame, to some extent, also preserved his reputation.

Go!

"If this kind of mistake happens again, I will not let it go easily!"

……

Liusha River.

"Master, something seems off about this quicksand river ahead!"

"The place is clearly filled with demonic energy, yet there are no monsters to be seen!"

"How strange!"

Sun Wukong scratched his head.

With his cultivation at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he couldn't even detect where the monsters were in the Flowing Sand River!

Not only Sun Wukong, but Shi Daju was also a bit confused.

Where is Sha Wujing?

Could it be that he arrived too quickly, leaving Guanyin Bodhisattva with no time to make arrangements?

That shouldn't be happening!

Didn't Sha Wujing kill the golden body nine times in a row?

Why isn't it in the Flowing Sand River?

He quickly released his divine sense.

In the blink of an eye, he discovered Sha Wujing, who was frantically fleeing, on the shores of the Western Sea, hundreds of millions of miles away.

"..."

I thought something had happened to you, but it turns out you just ran away!

Shi Daju was somewhat speechless.

Do I look like such a bloodthirsty person?

That Yellow Wind Monster wasn't a pilgrim, so killing him was no big deal!

What's there to be afraid of, you're just a pilgrim sent by the Heavenly Court?

He shook his head and reached out to grab the other person back.

Just then, the void rippled, and Guanyin Bodhisattva rushed over.

"Sanzang, stop!"

"Yo!"

"It's Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Shi Daju pretended to put his hands together in a gesture of respect and asked with a grin, "Bodhisattva, are you in such a hurry because you have important instructions?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva had just been reprimanded by the three thousand Buddhas and was in a bad mood.

Seeing Shi Daju's grinning face only fueled her anger.

"Sanzang, how can you still laugh after committing such a terrible crime?"

"Amitabha!"

Shi Daju feigned surprise and asked, "Why does the Bodhisattva say such a thing?"

"You have committed repeated murders, and you still don't know you're wrong?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said angrily.

"Buddha!"

Shi Daju's face turned cold. "Those whom this humble monk has killed are all those who deserve to die!"

"Is it the thief who robbed me on the road who shouldn't have died, or the monster who wanted to eat me for immortality who shouldn't have died?"

"you……"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was speechless for a moment.

"Then you shouldn't have come to the Flowing Sand River from the border of the Tang Dynasty so quickly!"

"To obtain the true scriptures from Mount Ling, one must be sincere!"

"Only by being down-to-earth and taking each step steadily to the foot of Mount Ling can one achieve enlightenment!"

"With your reckless advance, even if you were to awaken ten lifetimes of cultivation by sheer luck, you will ultimately fail to attain enlightenment and will never become a Buddha!"

Becoming a Buddha?

Shi Daju almost burst out laughing.

What kind of enlightenment is a little Buddha?

What he sought was the supreme Dao that truly surpassed even the sages!

"Buddha!"

"Which eye of yours saw that I didn't walk here step by step?"

"The Bodhisattva should know very well that with this humble monk's strength, it would take him no more than a breath to reach Mount Ling."

"Why go to all that trouble?"

"you……"

Guanyin was speechless.

There is absolutely no point of rebuttal.

That's right!

You really did get here step by step!

But the problem is, you've awakened the cultivation of ten lifetimes!

For the sake of Buddhism's great journey to the West, couldn't you pretend to be an ordinary person and undergo tribulations?

"Bodhisattva, if there's nothing else, this humble monk must cross the river!"

Shi Daju didn't want to talk to her anymore.

His cultivation was progressing smoothly, how could he stop just because of Guanyin's few words?

"No!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was anxious.

"Regardless of the circumstances, for the sake of Buddhism's greater cause, this humble monk cannot allow you to continue this reckless behavior!"

"Oh?"

Shi Daju was overjoyed.

"Is the Bodhisattva going to stop this poor monk?"

Guanyin's gaze sharpened, and she calmly stood in front of Shi Daju.

Last time, she was ambushed and didn't have time to use her magical treasure.

This time, she was well prepared, and even though her strength was slightly weaker than Tang Sanzang's, she could easily restrain him!

After all, everyone here is at the early stage of Quasi-Saint level!

Just as she was mentally preparing herself.

There was a loud cracking sound.

She only felt a slap on her left cheek, and then, without understanding what was happening, everything went black and she completely lost consciousness.

Looking at the fallen Guanyin, Shi Daju couldn't help but chuckle.

Fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow?

Guanyin Bodhisattva must have such a good sleep!
