Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Looking at Sun Wukong, who had been completely resurrected, Tang Sanzang shook his head painfully, then sat on the ground and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

As the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Buddha, he awakened his memories of his past life the moment he arrived at Mount Ling and regained his Buddhahood.

Therefore, they clearly understand the methods of Buddhism and how ruthless Buddha is. Buddha will use a method to make any existence that is unwilling to be loyal to Buddhism disappear completely.

The Buddha will use a method to make any person who is willing to become a member of the Buddhist community serve the Buddhist community for lifetimes to come.

His senior brother Huang Mei once saw through everything, but Jin Chanzi did not. He used to laugh at Huang Mei, but now he understands that the truly laughable one is himself.

He knelt before Buddha for a hundred years, finally securing an opportunity for his disciple Wukong.

Buddha set up this scheme: as long as Sun Wukong retrieves the five magical implements and returns here to wear the golden headband, he will become the Victorious Fighting Buddha and continue to serve Buddhism.

So he transformed into an old monkey and stayed on Flower Fruit Mountain for hundreds of years. As Wukong's master, how could he not have feelings for his disciple?

Making Wukong the Victorious Fighting Buddha, even though he would be bound by Buddhism, is still better than him dying and being extinct!

But who could have imagined that a great master would suddenly appear, disrupting his plans and the Buddha's plans, causing his century-long pursuit to fail at the last hurdle.

"Master! I know what you're thinking, and I understand what you're worried about, but I, Old Sun, have to tell you something."

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Where are all my monkey followers?" Sun Wukong stuffed his Ruyi Jingu Bang back into his ear, came to Tang Sanzang, and said.

"Amitabha, Wukong, I hid them in a cave on Flower Fruit Mountain, preventing them from being harmed by the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"Are you really sure? You might die again. No one can defeat Buddha; he is the true supreme being of this world." Tang Sanzang sighed, looked at his eldest disciple, and asked.

"Master, the one who can't see clearly is you! You were once a disciple of Buddha. He was the one who preached the West. He said he would banish you to the mortal world, and so he did."

"Did he ever consider your feelings? Now, so many years have passed, and you're still risking your life for him," Sun Wukong said.

"Wukong, you don't understand. You can't win. Even if you call on your monster brothers, the result will be the same as hundreds of years ago, and you'll even cause innocent people to die tragically."

My benefactor, you are the second ancestral dragon in the world. If you can yield to the Buddha, then perhaps you can obtain a pure land.

"But it is absolutely unacceptable to try to contend with them and divide up the benefits of the Three Realms." Tang Sanzang shook his head at Luo De and said.

"Hahaha! I quite like your personality, Tang Sanzang. In that case, I'll let you see with your own eyes how Buddha vanishes." Rhodes smiled and said.

"Amitabha, benefactor, please take care of yourself. I'm returning to the Great Thunderclap Temple now. Wukong, it seems our master-disciple bond is about to be severed. I've done all I can." Tang Sanzang finished speaking and left without giving Wukong a chance to reply.

"Alas! Master, he's still the same as before. I, Old Pig, can tell that it's not that he doesn't care about us three brothers, but there's nothing he can do. He can't defy Buddha. He's the one who's been oppressed the most by Buddha," Pigsy said.

The master has already attained Buddhahood, but he cannot discern the depths of the Great God Wutian because his attachments are too deep.

When he practiced Buddhism in the past, his path was smooth because he had great faith in Buddhism. Even when Huang Mei showed him the cruelty of human nature many times, Jin Chanzi remained unmoved.

But there's a saying that goes, "If you don't know the suffering of others, don't advise them to be kind. If you knew my suffering, you might not be kinder than me."

"Great God Wutian! Please accept my bow. I am able to be resurrected this time, and my magic power is even greater than before. I owe it all to your help." Sun Wukong came to Rod and knelt down on both knees, kowtowing three times to Rod.

If someone had helped him in the past, Sun Wukong wouldn't have repaid them in this way; he would have simply said thank you and that would have been it.

But now, after hundreds of years of growth and the blow of his death and disappearance after the Journey to the West, he is no longer that carefree monkey. Now he must truly inherit the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

He didn't understand the significance of this title before, only thinking that "breeze" sounded nice. But now he wants to do something for the world, to truly achieve the goal of being equal to the heavens.

"Hahaha! Congratulations, Wukong! After going through countless tribulations, you have returned. Your Dao heart will be more stable, and with the life force I gave you, your physical body will be stronger, and your eye disease has also been cured."

"Make arrangements for your monkey followers, and then come with me to the Great Thunderclap Temple! I'll take care of Buddha's matter first," Rhodes said.

"Great God Wutian, I, Old Sun, will go and arrange my monkey's life now. But please wait a moment, I need to go to the Little Western Paradise Pagoda to see an old friend. If I succeed, I will bring him with me," Sun Wukong said.

Heading to the Great Thunder Temple will be a direct confrontation between Rhodes and the Buddha, but the Buddha is not the only one in Buddhism.

Within Buddhism, there are countless masters, including Guanyin Bodhisattva, other Arhats and Bodhisattvas, and various Buddhas. There are many whose strength is comparable to Sun Wukong's, and even many who surpass him.

He, along with Pigsy, Brother Bull, and this group of demon kings, need to help Lord Rod resist some of the Buddhist masters.

Whether this war can be won depends on whether the Great Sage Wutian can defeat the Buddha.

When the Great Sage Wutian and the Buddha were fighting, Sun Wukong had to ensure that no Buddhist masters would disturb them.

Therefore, if Yang Jian could be brought over, the two of them working together could at least hold off the Buddha in Mount Ling, if not defeat him.

"Hahaha! I know what you're thinking. You want to invite your friend to come and help you. I also value Erlang Shen Yang Jian very much."

"But there's no need to rush. We can go find him after we return from Ling Mountain," Rod said with a smile.

"Great God Wutian, I know you are powerful, but there are many other experts in Mount Ling, including Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and the Eight Legions of Heavenly Dragons." Sun Wukong said.

"Sun Wukong, you're wrong. There are no Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon now, but rather Seven Parts of the Heavenly Dragon."

"My Yaksha clan has been wiped out, and even if my Yaksha clan recovers, we will never again engage in any of the Eight Legions of Deity and Dragon." Red Boy, who had already transformed into the Yaksha King, spoke.

"And then there's Wukong. Wutian is an ancestral dragon, so all the dragons under heaven naturally belong to Wutian. Therefore, the Dragon Department will cease to exist," said Zhu Bajie, who was standing to the side.

"You can call me the Great God Wutian, but since we're going to the Great Thunderclap Temple, we need to give ourselves a more impressive title. From today onwards, you can call me the Ancestor Wutian!" Rhodes said.

He has already grasped the basics of his own path, created his own cultivation method, and even integrated the power of several worlds. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the Ancestor of Law.

"Lord Wutian! I, Old Sun, would like to ask one last question: can you really defeat the Buddha Tathagata?"

"If that's not possible, then let's not go to the Great Thunderclap Temple. If we establish our own territory, even Buddha won't dare to provoke us," Sun Wukong said.

"I am absolutely certain, don't worry! I never do anything I'm not sure of, I'm much more cautious than you think," Rhodes said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes blazed with fierce fighting spirit, and he nodded to Rhodes.

"Please rest assured, Ancestor Wutian, even if I, Old Sun, risk my life, I will ensure that no other Buddhist masters will come to stop you when you are fighting against Tathagata, unless I, Old Sun, have already died and disappeared."

"You must have so little faith in me to say that! Go make arrangements for your monkeys and their offspring! Then we'll be setting off," Rhodes said.

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, nodded, turned around and returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, where he found the monkeys who had been protected by Tang Sanzang.

At this time, Huaguo Mountain had been quiet for hundreds of years, and the number of monkeys had recovered to its peak, reaching a total of 100,000.

However, Sun Wukong did not intend to let these monkeys set foot on the battlefield again and follow him in rebellion against Heaven. This was because these little demons who had just transformed into human form were only good at dealing with ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals. If they encountered some powerful gods, they would be instantly annihilated.

Sun Wukong settled his monkey followers on Flower Fruit Mountain, instructing them to stay there from now on. If he returned, they were to continue being the Monkey King; if he did not return, they were to never leave Flower Fruit Mountain again.

After settling his monkey offspring, Sun Wukong and the other demons followed Luo De and planned to go to the Great Thunder Temple.

Rod led the group on a cloud, first flying towards the Bull Demon King's Flaming Mountain.

The demons led by the Bull Demon King had also assembled. The Bull Demon King still had a lot of influence, and many demons who had admired his reputation had come.

In addition, there is the Great Sage Yellow Wind of Yellow Wind Ridge, two scorpion demons on Purple Cloud Mountain, the Pleiades Star Lord, and a group of demon kings.

"Lord Wutian, I, Old Bull, have gathered all the demon kings in the world who are unwilling to submit to Buddhism." The Bull Demon King, dressed in black armor, came to Rhode and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings to the Ancestor of the Heavenly Law!" The demons and monsters on the ground also knelt before Rhodes.

"Hahaha! Get up! Since you have worshipped me, I will give you some benefits." After saying that, Rhodes casually sent down a stream of pure life energy, which then split and was injected into the bodies of all the demons present.

Rhode treated all the demons equally, regardless of their magical power or strength, and infused them with some life essence, which enhanced their overall life force and increased their strength.

"Thank you for the grace of the Wutian Ancestor, thank you for the grace of the Wutian Ancestor."

"Yes! I am about to undertake a great task, and I certainly need you all to bear witness," Rhodes said.

"Lord Wutian, if you need anything, just give the order and we will go through fire and water for you." The demon kings below knelt down and said.

"Yes! You will all follow me to the Great Thunderclap Temple." Rhodes nodded with a smile, and then directly used his spatial magic. In the blink of an eye, everyone was transported from the Flaming Mountain to an incomparably sacred and solemn place.

The place is glittering with jewels and resplendent with gold, radiating a Buddhist aura everywhere. Standing far away at the entrance, one can hear a grand chanting of sutras.

In an instant, Rhodes used his spatial magic to bring all the demon kings to the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Upon arriving at the Great Thunderclap Temple, apart from Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, and a few other demon kings such as the Yaksha King and Red Boy, the rest of the lesser demon kings were quite frightened.

They never expected that this Wutian Fazu would actually come to the Great Thunder Temple as soon as he said he would.

This is Buddha's territory! These little demons have never been to this sacred mountain temple before.

Ignoring the astonished demon kings, Rhodes led Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, Red Boy, Pigsy, Yellow Wind Great Sage, two tiger demons, and two scorpion demons directly into the Great Thunder Temple.

Upon seeing Rhodes leading a group of demons forward, the Vajra Protectors standing in front of the Great Thunderclap Temple immediately tried to stop him, but before they could even touch Rhodes, they were sent flying backward and crashed into a pillar in front of the Great Thunderclap Temple, spitting out blood.

Along the way, the group followed Luo De and stepped directly into the main hall of the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling.

Tens of thousands of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors sat on both sides of the main hall.

In the very center of the main hall sat a man tens of feet tall, radiating golden light and boundless Buddhist radiance. This man was none other than the Buddha of the Western Paradise.

Beside him sat Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, respectively.

"Buddha, I have come to see you," Rhodes said.

"Amitabha Buddha, I originally thought that you were the second ancestral dragon born in the world, and that you were a reasonable person."

"These are beings of great magical power, supernatural abilities, and great wisdom, yet they have gathered a group of demons and monsters at my sacred mountain temple." The Buddha, seated on the high platform, opened his eyes and spoke.

The second Ancestral Dragon was born in the world, and it even obtained the position of the Underworld Emperor, and resurrected Sun Wukong, whom it had killed.

This surprised the Buddha somewhat, as there were things in the Three Realms that he was unaware of.

But so what? Even the Supreme Lord wouldn't dare to break ties with him; this world belongs to him and the Supreme Lord.

When his junior brother Maitreya Buddha returned, he brought him a message saying that this Ancestral Dragon would soon come to the Great Thunder Temple to pay his respects.

The Buddha originally thought that if the other party came to pay his respects and had a good attitude, and was willing to submit to him, then letting him rule a region wouldn't be a bad idea, after all, he was the second ancestral dragon in the world.

But even if this King of the Underworld returns, the forces of the underworld will firmly hold onto what the Buddhist sect has already occupied, and no one can touch or change it.

Unexpectedly, this person did come to the Great Thunder Temple, but his attitude was not that of someone coming to visit him, but rather to cause trouble.

"Hahaha! The fate of heaven has changed. Tathagata, your tribulation is beyond description, and I am your tribulation," Rhodes said.

He has come here today to send off the Buddha in his final moments.

"Amitabha, why do you say such things, benefactor? I have cultivated the body of a Buddha, which is indestructible for countless eons. My destiny is in my hands, but you are unaware that your own calamity has arrived," said the Buddha.

They actually came to talk to him, the Buddha of the Western Paradise, about calamities. You should know that the word "calamity" was invented by the Buddha himself.

"Hahaha! Tathagata! Will you leave on your own, or shall I send you off?" Rhodes said.

"I see that you are unaware of your own destiny. Very well, I will enlighten you and help you understand the will of Heaven." The Buddha smiled gently, and the golden lotus beneath him floated up, emitting auspicious light.

Rhodes also let out a cold laugh, sat cross-legged on the ground, and used his death god power, along with the power of evil energy and all negative attribute power, to directly transform into an extremely black lotus flower.

This black lotus flower exuded endless death power and an ominous force. This power was full of destruction and devastation, and even had a maddening quality. All the Buddhas present were terrified.

Since we're sending off the Buddha to his passing, we must use black lotus flowers!

"As expected, it's an evil and heretical path!" Buddha sneered as he looked at the black lotus flower that Rhodes was sitting on.

Then, his whole body shone with golden light, and his incomparably powerful Buddhist power pressed down on Rhodes. His strength had reached the level of Rhodes and Taishang. Unless the two of them fought, no one could survive.

Before him, the Buddha, they were all like ants.

At this moment, Maitreya Buddha, who was sitting below, also sighed. He had originally thought that the second ancestral dragon born in the world would be an ally of his.

They planned to work together to deal with Tathagata in the future, but they never expected that the other party would be so irrational as to directly attack the Great Thunder Temple and challenge Tathagata to a duel.

You've cultivated to this level, where do you get the confidence to dare to confront the Buddha?

At this moment, the Buddha smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared, and his expression gradually became solemn, with disbelief showing on his face.

The Buddha's light, which was originally invincible, had no effect on the person in front of him named Wutian. Instead, the black light of the other party suppressed his Buddha's light and even slowly approached him.

The Buddha felt that his indestructible golden body was suddenly invaded by a strange power that was frantically destroying his spirit and depleting his soul.

It even froze his body, preventing him from moving no matter how much he burned his own magic power.

"You, you can't be! How could you, how could you have reached that realm!" The Buddha's expression changed drastically as he asked.

Impossible, impossible! Neither he nor the Supreme Dao Ancestor reached that realm, so why would another person reach it? (End of Chapter)
