The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

[Jinwu Avenue: 18.1%]

The steamship began to sound its horn as it could already see the forward port of Xiniuhezhou in the distance; it wouldn't be long before it arrived.

Chen Geng lay on the deck, converting all his contribution points into the Great Dao, constantly growing stronger through enlightenment, letting the sun shine on him.

"I told you, once you've scared them to death, there won't be any more trouble."

Chen Geng instructed Li Bairen, who looked like a young man, "Tolerance without restraint is not the way of an emperor."

"You are acting with tyranny, not the way of an emperor."

Li Bairen did not agree, but his tone no longer contained any further rebuttal.

Chen Geng did not answer, but looked in the other direction.

Dong Xiaomiao held a precious pearl in her hand and hadn't uttered a sound for a long time.

He only learned after returning to the ship that Guanyin Bodhisattva had given her the remains of Gonggong that she had suppressed.

The Bodhisattva said that Dong Xiaomiao had Buddha-nature and sacrificed herself to save the West Sea, so this mutilated corpse should rightfully belong to her.

Within the remains of the earth shaman of the Gonggong tribe lies the innate water-manipulation shamanic power, which matches Dong Xiaomiao's traits.

If he's right, Dong Xiaomiao should be able to begin comprehending the Great Dao after she wakes up.

But it's hard for Chen Geng not to have some doubts about what the Bodhisattva did.

"Brother Chen, we'll arrive at Xiniu Hezhou tomorrow."

Li Shuangyan came over carrying a plate of crystal-clear squid sashimi: "Would you like to try some? Seafood doesn't have many parasites."

"dislike."

Chen Geng shook his head, looking straight ahead at the coastline, then looked to the left. He could see a raft under the boat, with a monkey lying on it.

The monkey clung to the hull of the steamship and followed it for more than two months.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey!

He was also a naturally born being, and his inherent nature was extremely high. I never expected that we would end up together.

  

Seemingly noticing Chen Geng's gaze, the stone monkey on the raft scooted further inside, trying to avoid Chen Geng's attention.

"Come on up," Chen Geng said. "I've been calling you for over two months. We're almost there. No matter how much you hide, you'll have to come out sooner or later."

The stone monkey remained hidden and silent, but the sounds of it scratching its ears and cheeks could be heard.

Chen Geng didn't insist. The location of the travel permit was a mysterious concept, but he had already found it to be very close.

Bodhi Patriarch was at least a Great Golden Immortal, whose proof was eternal. I wonder what the scene was like when I met him.

A day later, the ship docked. No one disembarked immediately; everyone looked at the figure standing on the deck.

Chen Geng didn't go down, and neither did they dare to; he had made too much of a fuss earlier.

Everyone was on tenterhooks the whole way, afraid of neglecting him. The captain was especially afraid of upsetting him after each storm, fearing that he might be blamed for his poor sailing skills.

"Let's disembark."

Chen Geng stared at Xihai for a moment. Xihai had been silent since the last time. It seemed that Long Ze Long Zu's attack on him had not been without consequences.

In the Western Sea, Ao Run had just returned from reporting to the Heavenly Court.

"Father, did the Jade Emperor make things difficult for you?"

The dragon mother, dragon sons, and dragon daughters quickly surrounded them, looking tense.

"No, the Jade Emperor, considering that my Western Sea Dragon Clan has always been law-abiding, only punished us by prohibiting us from leaving the Western Sea again and confining us for a thousand years."

Ao Run sighed, "It's just a pity that we couldn't fulfill the Dragon Ancestor's wish and missed a golden opportunity, which makes me feel ashamed."

"Father, this is not your fault. That person's strength is extraordinary, and he can even draw upon the true fire of the sun to assist him. It is normal that we did not succeed."

Crown Prince Ao Gu comforted him, "The main reason is the karmic entanglement between the demon prince's corpse and the earth witch's corpse; otherwise, he would have had no chance of escaping."

"It's pointless to say all this now."

Ao Run sighed, "However, my West Sea Dragon Clan is not so easily bullied. Is Ao Mi here?"

"Your child is here!" Ao Mi stepped forward. "Father, is there anything you wish to instruct me to do?"

"I have heard that there is a man named Laozi who wrote the earth-shattering Tao Te Ching. He has been west of Hangu Pass for a long time and arrived in the territory of Xiniu Hezhou a few days ago."

"Although the Heavenly Court forbids us from leaving the Western Sea, that's only one side of the story. Pack your things and go find Lao Tzu to learn a chapter of the Tao Te Ching."

"Father, who exactly am I?"

Ao Mi vaguely sensed a glimmer of clarity in her heart: "Am I just going to learn a passage from the Tao Te Ching?"

"I don't know. I only heard a few words from the Tao Te Ching, and I was already amazed that it was a divine book. The person who wrote such a classic must be someone of great importance. You just need to go and make good connections with them."

Upon receiving the order, Ao Mi hurriedly packed her luggage and rushed out of the West Sea to the land of Xiniu Hezhou.

Meanwhile, at the Great Thunder Temple in the Western Paradise, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Jade Maiden holding the pearl returned to the Buddhist realm.

"Has the World Honored One not returned yet?"

Her expression was solemn, but the area above her was empty; there was no sign of the Buddha.

"The World-Honored One is still listening to the teachings of the Holy Buddha."

Maitreya Buddha smiled and said, "Something is changing in Xiniu Hezhou. The fate of our Western Sect is shifting. Is the Bodhisattva aware of this?"

"Guanyin does not know."

She uttered no more words, only chanting Amitabha Buddha, for everything was preordained.

Xiniu Hezhou was no longer clearly visible at this point.

…………

As soon as Chen Geng disembarked, someone came to pick him up.

"Holy crap, I saw the big shot in person! Holy crap!"

The driver, also a time traveler, was waiting at the dock early on, constantly exclaiming in amazement.

"Boss, I heard you fought dragons at sea and fought your way here?"

"You killed every zombie you could find?"

"Boss, I also heard that gods and bodhisattvas came out. How did you manage to win? That's amazing."

"Who leaked the news...?"

Chen Geng glanced at Li Shuangyan. Hmm, she doesn't seem like it.

That must be Dong Xiaomiao.

He wondered if he had become a little stupid from staying on the ship for too long. But there was no need to think about it; who else could it be but Dong Xiaomiao?

"It's all just good luck."

Chen Geng replied perfunctorily, "Don't make a fuss."

"I'm not making a fuss, bro. Do you know that people all over Earth are watching your live stream right now?"

Zheng Xiaochuan told Chen Geng that the scene was incredibly lifelike. If Su Yan hadn't given Dong Xiaomiao access to the live streaming function, they wouldn't have known how amazing he was.

"My goodness, who on Earth dares to claim they can achieve the speed of light right now?"

live streaming?

How come Chen Geng doesn't know?

He noticed that it was Su Yan who caused it. How did this person... know that he was fighting?

"By the way, Boss Su Yan is here too. I heard he's also in Xiniu Hezhou. Boss Chen Geng, what would you two talk about if you met?"

Zheng Xiaochuan kept talking, and Chen Geng couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked him what he did for a living before.

"Me? I was a taxi driver before I time-traveled."

Zheng Xiaochuan chuckled and said, "Once we get back to Earth, just let me know where you need to go, Boss."

Chen Geng won't call him; that guy talks too much.

Fangcun Mountain is still some distance from the sea.

It is said that people often saw immortals flying around on that sacred mountain, and the story spread over time.

Everyone knows that there are immortals on the sacred mountain, but strangely, no matter how hard they search, they can't find where the immortals are.
