Pigsy staggered back from the scorching heat, saying, "Ouch, this spirit of the magical treasure has quite a fiery temper. I, Old Pig, was just saying that."
"Serves the fool right." Sun Wukong laughed, then returned to Flower Fruit Mountain via the South Heavenly Gate.
He hadn't returned for over five hundred years, but the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain hadn't forgotten him.
"The King is back! The King is back!!"
The monkeys were overjoyed. Many of the old monkeys from back then were still alive and doing quite well.
Those who died became wandering ghosts, and unknowingly transformed into ghost monkeys, roaming around Flower Fruit Mountain.
When Sun Wukong saw this, he realized how wrong he had been.
But now, he can't change this situation. He can only wait until the journey to the West is over and then go to the underworld to see if there's a solution.
The priority at present is to refine the innate restrictions within the Great Dream Purple-Green Lamp.
He was a very intelligent monkey who, during the refining process, continuously comprehended the power within the innate restrictions, and eventually developed supernatural abilities on his own.
He conjured a sleepy bug in his hand.
As soon as this sleep-inducing insect touches your body, it will make you feel sleepy.
Even ordinary cultivators at the third level of the Law Realm will fall asleep without realizing it when they encounter this sleepy bug.
He spent a considerable amount of time refining the Great Dream Purple-Green Lamp, so the group stayed at White Tiger Ridge.
Just as he was refining the spiritual treasure, the operation in the underworld was also nearing its end.
Li Mu's cavalry drove a tribe of corpse demons to the brink of destruction.
The zombie roared, "Li Mu, does Fengdu really have to exterminate everyone?"
Li Mu sneered, "Your Corpse Demon Clan is not tolerated in the Three Realms and Five Elements. Do you expect us to grow too powerful and threaten us? In the Netherworld, the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon by the strong. You should understand that."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gates of hell opened.
Chapter 1006 The Unreliable Lamp-Binder
Hou Chen was stunned for a moment, "Li Mu, what do you mean by this?"
Li Mu said coldly, "Either you are reduced to ashes or you go inside. There is no third option."
Hou Chen sensed that the other side of the Gates of Hell was a vibrant world, not the Netherworld.
"I never thought I'd be able to go to the human world in my lifetime. Whatever the shady dealings involved, I'm grateful for your help. Hahaha!"
Hou Chen laughed three times and led the Corpse Demon Clan out of the Gate of Hell, appearing in White Tiger Ridge.
Watching them leave, Li Mu immediately ordered, "Our mission is complete, retreat!"
At this moment, Guanyin, Mahasthamaprapta, and the others couldn't help but feel worried for Tang Sanzang and his disciples when they saw Hou Chen, the leader of the Hunyuan Realm, leading a large group of corpse demons.
Vajra Venerable Bengbu stopped, "Is Buddha making such a big deal out of this? Even if Sun Wukong came, he might not be able to handle it, right?"
Mahasthamaprapta nodded; this time things had indeed gotten out of hand.
Guanyin realized something was wrong and quickly sent a message to Mount Ling, along with footage of White Tiger Ridge.
"Buddha, is this situation normal?"
Tathagata quickly looked at Dipankara Buddha, "Ancient Buddha, what's going on?"
Ran Deng looked on in bewilderment at the situation. "I don't know the specifics either. I only asked the Emperor of Fengdu to drive the Corpse Demons to White Tiger Ridge. According to the situation, there shouldn't be so many Corpse Demons at the third level of the Law Realm."
Tathagata's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "Did the Ancient Buddha not explain this in detail to the Great Emperor of Fengdu?"
Ran Deng said, "At that time, the Emperor of Fengdu only ordered Li Mu to lead an army of 500,000 to drive them away. I thought that Li Mu was only at the third level of the Law, and the corpse demons he could drive away shouldn't be much of a threat, so I was quite at ease. Who would have thought that he could actually do this!"
Even with his strong heart, Buddha couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Li Mu was indeed at the third level of the Law Realm, but once he led an army of 500,000 into battle formation, even those at the Primordial Chaos Realm dared not directly confront his might.
Realizing something was wrong, he quickly said to Guanyin, "Venerable Guanyin, please protect Jin Chanzi. That mischievous monkey is still refining the Great Dream Purple-Green Lamp on Flower Fruit Mountain. Please do not let Jin Chanzi be harmed."
"Your disciple obeys."
Guanyin conveyed the Buddha's command to the four, including Mahasthamaprapta.
Mahasthamaprapta and the others were on the verge of tears, thinking to themselves, "Is Dipankara Buddha really that unreliable?"
They're under so much pressure because of the lamplight!
But as the corpse demons emerged from the gates of hell, they all went mad upon seeing the sight of White Tiger Ridge.
If it weren't for the sun hanging high in the sky, requiring the subsequent gathering of corpse energy to resist, these corpse demon hordes would probably have already rampaged across all directions.
Therefore, Tang Sanzang and his disciples are relatively safe at present.
But this time, Guanyin and the others were genuinely afraid that Tang Sanzang would be captured.
These corpse demons are not easy to deal with. If they really capture Tang Sanzang, they will probably immediately suck his blood and eat his flesh, the kind that eats him raw.
The Corpse Demon wouldn't wash, steam, or boil Tang Sanzang.
Fortunately, Tang Sanzang is not entirely without ability; dealing with some low-level corpse demons is not a big problem for him.
At this moment, Pigsy had already sensed the approaching danger. He said to Tang Sanzang, "What a heavy aura of death! Master, I'm afraid Brother Monkey didn't completely eliminate the demon. I, Pigsy, will go and see what's going on."
Seeing that Pigsy's expression was serious, Tang Sanzang realized that the situation might be really dangerous, and quickly said, "Pigsy, then go and come back quickly, be careful."
Pigsy immediately leaped into the clouds with a golden light and saw a huge mass of corpse energy gathering above the White Bone Cave, covering the sun like a dark cloud.
He thought for a moment, then immediately lay down and fired a shot at the corpse energy.
The gale coalesced into a single force, and the Samadhi Divine Wind, carrying turbid air, blasted away the corpse energy, allowing the power of the sun to penetrate and illuminate the ground.
Some of the corpse demons were unable to dodge in time and were scorched by the true fire of the sun carried in the sunlight, turning into ashes in a short while.
"Who goes there? How dare you be so insolent in front of me?"
Hou Chen roared and leaped up from the ground, piercing through the clouds to see Zhu Bajie.
Pigsy saw what would happen next and felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
He immediately shot out in a burst of golden light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Hou Chen wanted to give chase, but unfortunately, he had little knowledge of escape techniques and couldn't catch up with Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie was also clever; he knew he couldn't fly towards Tang Sanzang immediately, or he would be caught along with the pot.
As he flew, he exclaimed, "Disaster! Disaster! How come so many corpse demons have suddenly appeared? Could they have been released from the underworld?"
He felt terrible. "Judging from the aura of that Corpse Demon Leader, even Brother Monkey might not be his match."
After the White Tiger Dragon circled around, he returned to Tang Sanzang and the others, shouting, "Master, we should hurry back! Many corpse demons have suddenly appeared in the White Bone Cave. If it gets dark, we won't be able to leave."
"How could this be?" Tang Sanzang asked. "Didn't Wukong say that there were no more demons in this mountain?"
Pigsy had no time to belittle Sun Wukong, and explained, "That corpse demon is not a demon of the human world; it must have escaped from the underworld."
He only dared to say that he had sneaked away, not that he had been secretly released, lest he be caught red-handed and his name end up on the Book of Life and Death, which would be terrible!
"Ah, this!" Tang Sanzang also chickened out. "Then let's hurry up and leave."
Without saying a word, Sha Wujing had already chosen his luggage.
Pigsy led the white dragon horse, and the group left White Tiger Ridge at an extremely fast speed.
Guanyin, witnessing this scene, was at a loss for words.
But one thing is certain: this time, Randeng really messed things up. We don't know when Sun Wukong will return, but then we can ask them to subdue the demons.
Having already endured four trials, this is the fifth, and it's time for Buddhism to make its formal appearance.
At this moment, with Qingxia's help, Sun Wukong finally refined the thirteen innate restrictions of the Great Dream Purple and Green Lamp.
The remaining restrictions will require a long and painstaking process.
Holding the Great Dream Purple-Blue Lamp, he was overjoyed after learning of its effects, exclaiming, "What a wonderful treasure! It truly is a wonderful treasure!"
With a thought, a wisp of his primordial spirit combined with a single hair to become Supreme Treasure, and then disappeared into the Great Dream Purple and Green Lamp.
Within the Great Dream Purple and Green Lantern lies a vast dream world, where Zixia and Qingxia live.
Sun Wukong said, "In this way, we can be considered to have settled our karma."
At this point, he had no more worries.
After bidding farewell to his monkey followers, he somersaulted to the Southern Heavenly Gate.
He saw Qianli and Shunfeng'er waiting for him.
"Great Sage, please go down to the mortal realm quickly and save your master! They are surrounded!"
"What? How come?"
Sun Wukong looked puzzled. "I only made them wait for seven days. Is it time for the next trial?"
Anxious and without even having time to thank Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears, his body transformed into a golden light and appeared among the corpse demons.
Chapter 1007 Arriving in Time
Not long ago, Tang Sanzang and his disciples were about to leave White Tiger Ridge.
Unfortunately, the white dragon horse carrying Tang Sanzang was not moving fast, and it soon became night.
As the moon rises at night, its energy is incredibly nourishing for the corpse demons, so they all worship the moon and absorb its essence.
Tang Sanzang and his companions inadvertently revealed their whereabouts at White Tiger Ridge and were discovered by a group of corpse demons.
Among those corpse demons were quite a few individuals at the second level of the Law Realm.
Smelling the scent of blood and flesh, they couldn't let it go, and roared as they surrounded it.
"Meat, smells so good."
Whether it's Tang Sanzang's flesh or pork, it doesn't make much difference to these corpse demons. After all, there's no fresh flesh to eat in the underworld; there are mostly corpses like them.
The progenitor of the Corpse Demon was the ferocious beast Hou, one of the most powerful ferocious beasts in the world. After death, it transformed into Jiang Chen, Hou Qing, Ying Gou, and the most ferocious Hanba.
The four zombies passed down their bloodlines, and then, by constantly devouring each other's bloodlines, they formed more than ten different zombie demon races.
Its variety is among the best in the Pangu world.
These zombie demons are a race possessing four different zombie bloodlines, but the proportions of each bloodline are unknown.
