Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

“That’s right.” Lin Zhu nodded. “This can be considered a way of rescuing them. Also, don’t flatter yourself. The reason these people are like this is because of me, not because of you.”

Tang Sanzang was taken aback. "Because of the True Lord, why is that?" He suddenly remembered that the flesh of the bamboo forest was more potent than his own.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like I was just being presumptuous.

However, with Lin Zhu accompanying him on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, it seems even more dangerous!

The thought suddenly came to mind that he should let Lin Zhu go his own way, so as not to be a burden to him.

After all, Lin Zhu could fight or escape when in danger, while I was not strong enough to fight or escape when in danger.

Of course, this was just a thought. He knew that if Lin Zhu wanted to go to Ling Mountain, he could get there with a single thought and wouldn't need to accompany him all the way.

Therefore, the hardships along the way are a way to temper oneself.

Therefore, Tang Sanzang quickly adjusted his mindset.

As a result, his state of mind underwent a transformation.

Then, a great burst of Buddhist light shone from his body, and the bell rang. With a "clang," he broke through to the twenty-sixth level of the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Bell Shield.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and ominous clouds appeared.

The tribulation clouds have arrived, signaling the breakthrough from the True Immortal Realm to the Profound Immortal Realm.

When Lin Zhu, Sun Wukong, and the others looked up at the sky, the tribulation clouds dispersed again.

The will of heaven and earth realized that Tang Sanzang was one of the key figures in the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, so it took the initiative to exempt him from the heavenly tribulation.

Pigsy, tasting the flavor, exclaimed, "This is so unfair!"

Back then, when he broke through from a human immortal to an earth immortal, he was subjected to a heavenly tribulation. But when it came to Tang Sanzang, he was exempted from it.

Where can I seek justice?

Tang Sanzang was displeased. "You blockhead, do you want to be struck dead by heavenly lightning?"

Pigsy said, "Master, you're so thick-skinned now, a little heavenly thunder can't do anything to you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of lightning struck him squarely on the top of his head, charring his monk's hat and leaving a hole in it.

Tang Sanzang was also slightly affected, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Pigsy immediately knelt on the ground, "Heavens above, I, Pigsy, meant no harm, please forgive me!"

"You idiot, this little lightning won't kill you. Get up, it's time to get going." Sun Wukong took the reins of the white dragon horse and placed it in Zhu Bajie's hands.

All I can say is that Pigsy truly is a treasure.

As Tang Sanzang walked out of the ruins of Chechi Kingdom, he looked back and sighed.

He took out the travel document and wrote down everything that had happened at Chechi Middle School on a new page.

This can also be considered a travelogue, a Journey to the West.

At this moment, Moro, who was far away in Lingshan, received news that Tianchenzi and Yinyingzi's operation had failed.

Without the slightest hesitation, before the Buddhas of the Western Paradise could react, they transformed into a streak of black light and vanished.

"Amitabha!" Maitreya said as they left, "It seems that Jin Chanzi and the others have escaped danger."

"That is so." Ran Deng said, looking at Guanyin, "Venerable Guanyin, is the next tribulation the Tongtian River?"

Guanyin nodded and said, "That's right."

Ran Deng said, "We should give Sun Wukong some more good fortune. With his current strength, he is not enough to be the main force on the journey to the West. If he encounters stronger demons, he may not even be able to call for reinforcements."

He turned to look at the Buddha, "What does the Buddha think?"

“What Dipankara Buddha said makes sense.” Tathagata nodded in agreement, then looked at Guanyin, “How about we entrust this matter to Venerable Guanyin?”

Guanyin was overjoyed. "Disciple obeys."

This is great news!

At this moment, in the Heavenly Court, although the Jade Emperor felt that Sha Wujing was just a minor character, he also felt that he shouldn't be allowed to remain a minor character for too long.

He then discussed it with the Queen Mother, saying, "I think it would be appropriate to increase the strength of General Curtain-Raising. What does the Queen Mother think?"

"How can we improve him? General Curtain-Rolling is already a Great Luo Golden Immortal; we can't just let him break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm all at once, can we?"

Clearly, the Jade Emperor knew this was unrealistic, so he said, "Perhaps we can give him a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

That's quite generous.

He also knew that this journey to the West would be more difficult than they had originally agreed upon with the Buddhist community, and therefore the merits they would gain afterward would be greater than before.

The more you invest, the more you will reap in the future.

"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, then so be it."

The Queen Mother agreed, and the Jade Emperor thought for a moment and then ordered Venus to take the Water-Stabilizing Pearl to the mortal realm and give it to Sha Wujing.

In the pilgrimage team, the roles of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing are very clear.

One was the main force in air combat, the other in land combat, and Sha Wujing was the main force in naval combat.

With the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Sha Wujing's strength in water battles can be greatly enhanced.

In the Tushita Palace, Laozi also had an idea and sent Xu Ziling down to the mortal world.

"Ziling, go find the pilgrimage team and give this item to Zhu Bajie."

As he spoke, he handed a gourd to Xu Ziling, saying, "This is the Berserker Elixir, belonging to the Eight-Turn Golden Elixir category. There are sixty-four of them in total, and only Great Luo Golden Immortals can consume them. If you give this elixir to him, he will naturally understand my meaning."

"Yes, sir."

Xu Ziling bowed respectfully.

He doesn't look good now; he's short, about the size of a ten-year-old child.

Kou Zhong was the same.

Since he is a child, he should act like a child.

Laozi gave them a pill that allowed them to rejuvenate, and their bodies returned to their original state.

Fortunately, he was able to return to his previous form after descending to the lower realm; otherwise, he felt that Lin Zhu would treat him like a monkey.

Lin Zhu had only been away from Chechi Kingdom for eight days when two groups of guests arrived.

The first one is Venus.

Sun Wukong finally saw an old acquaintance. He stepped forward, grabbed the man's hand, and said, "Old man, you've finally come down. You caused me so much trouble back then."

He gritted his teeth, thinking that Venus was too good at deceiving people.

Venus smiled and said, "Great Sage, you are about to achieve enlightenment. What about what happened back then?"

Sun Wukong looked at Taibai Jinxing for a while, then released his hand and said, "Forget it, I was quite naive back then, so I won't hold it against you. But what brings you here this time?"

Venus looked at Sha Wujing and said, "This time, we have come for the General of Curtain-Raising."

Sha Wujing was puzzled. He had always been inconspicuous in the pilgrimage team, so why had they come for him?

He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Please give me your guidance, Star Lord."

He knew that Venus descending was probably at the Jade Emperor's behest.

Chapter 1056 Tang Monk Living in Bengbu

Venus, without any pretense, took out the Water-Stabilizing Pearl and said, "General Curtain-Roller needs a treasure to protect the Holy Monk on his journey to the West. His Majesty has ordered me to deliver this item. General Curtain-Roller, please accept it."

Upon seeing the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, Sha Wujing recognized it and asked, "Is this the Water-Stabilizing Pearl among the Four Stabilizing Pearls?"

"Not bad." Venus nodded and handed the Water-Stabilizing Pearl to Sha Wujing. "I hope General Rolling Curtain will do his best on the journey to the west."

Sha Wujing excitedly accepted the Water-Stabilizing Pearl and said, "This humble general will certainly not fail Your Majesty's kindness."

"Good!" Taibai Jinxing nodded, then bid farewell to Lin Zhu and the others, "True Lord, Great Sage, Holy Monk, and Marshal Tianpeng, this old man takes his leave."

As for the white dragon horse, he didn't even glance at it.

The white dragon horse was a little annoyed; after turning into a horse, it had lost all its human rights.

But he's just a horse now, he can't speak!

Venus was about to leave, but Pigsy stopped him, tugging at his sleeve and asking, "Venus, does His Majesty have nothing to give me, Old Pig?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled and brushed Zhu Bajie's hand away. "Marshal Tianpeng, please don't do this. Before I came, His Majesty really didn't have anything for me to give to you, Marshal."

Pigsy's face fell immediately. "Your Majesty is too biased."

Taibai Jinxing was speechless. "Don't you know your own background?" After thinking to himself, he quickly said, "This old man must take his leave now. There are still many matters to attend to in the Heavenly Court."

"Take care, old man, come again when you have time." After putting aside his grudges, Sun Wukong felt that Taibai Jinxing was still a man worth befriending.

Pigsy said, "Brother Monkey, why are you being so polite with this old man?"

"You idiot, shut up, don't act like your master." Sun Wukong's words offended Tang Sanzang.

"Wukong, do you think your master is too long-winded?" Tang Sanzang felt that he didn't have that many words to say; he was working very hard on his cultivation these days.

Pigsy said, "My master, you never stop talking whenever we're on the road. Don't you see Brother Lin Zhu always walking at the very back?"

Lin Zhu was taken aback. How did the topic turn to me?

"True Lord?" Tang Sanzang looked at Lin Zhu with bright, watery eyes, wanting a definite answer from him.

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Sanzang, you are indeed being a bit too talkative, but I know you are doing it all for the good of the three of them. Keep it up."

Tang Sanzang was overjoyed upon hearing this, saying, "The True Lord is indeed wise and understanding."

Pigsy was speechless and retorted angrily, "Then Brother Lin, you should listen too."

Lin Zhu shook her head, "No, I'd rather not. Sanzang's scent is a bit too strong."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's expression froze.

Sun Wukong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sha Wujing couldn't help but chuckle.

Pigsy was also taken aback, thinking to himself, "Brother Lin is truly ruthless; those are practically words that strike at the heart!"

'Am I that smelly?' He lowered his head and sniffed. He did have a slight odor, but not that bad.
