I don't know what he was thinking; this will only hasten his death.

The sword energy pierced through his chest, and his primordial spirit, which had only escaped halfway, was shattered by the boundless destructive sword energy.

If Lin Zhu hadn't held back, his true spirit would have been lost.

The birth of each true spirit is a bit of foundation for the Pangu Realm; every bit that can be preserved is a bit more.

With the blessing of the Wheel of Time, the power of Sword Twenty-Three was enhanced once again. The two high-grade innate spiritual treasures were almost at 99% of their power, making it relatively easy to deal with Yuan Emperor, a weak Mixed Origin Realm cultivator.

Although Nezha destroyed the eight peaks of the Badingshan mountain range, the core of the formation is still there.

After Emperor Yuan died, he returned to dust and became part of the formation's core.

After the battle, Pigsy asked Nezha curiously, "Nezha, His Majesty must have seen it, right? What was his reaction when he was in the Lingxiao Palace?"

Nezha said, "What kind of reaction can there be? It'll just be like that."

The answer was ambiguous.

Chapter 1125 Tathagata: I was careless.

Seeing this, Pigsy didn't press the matter further. He might still have to go to Heaven to beg for food when the time came, so it was best not to completely offend the Jade Emperor.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor snorted coldly, "Marshal Tianpeng has become increasingly unruly since he descended to the mortal realm."

Some of the immortals murmured to themselves, "Speaking of which, we wouldn't believe it without the Jade Emperor's intervention that Marshal Tianpeng was reincarnated as a pig."

After defeating Emperor Yuan, Nezha returned to Heaven, while Lin Zhu and the others continued their journey.

Two more months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Buddhist sect directly arranged for Indra and the Nagas to be on the path that Lin Zhu and his companions would inevitably take, thus completing two pre-harvests of merit.

After Lin Zhu and his group finished off Emperor Shitian and the Dragon Clan, they didn't get any spoils of war.

Mount Ling is right at our feet.

The journey to the West is progressing much faster than expected.

Looking towards Mount Ling, Lin Zhu showed no intention of going in. He said to Sun Wukong and the others, "I'll leave you here. You can go now."

Tang Sanzang asked in surprise, "Isn't the True Lord with us?"

Lin Zhu shook her head, "No, I'll wait for you here."

Sun Wukong blinked; he heard Lin Zhu's telepathic message.

"Wukong, once you have the scriptures, there's no need to check them. Take Sanzang and leave immediately."

He didn't understand what Lin Zhu meant, but knowing that he had to listen to his elder brother, he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Lin Zhu smiled at him, and then waited outside Mount Ling, knowing that these people would be teleported out eventually.

Sun Wukong and his companions entered Mount Ling and instantly appeared on Lingyun Ferry.

A laugh echoed from Lingyun Ferry, "Hahaha, Holy Monk, this old monk has finally waited for you. Please board the ship."

This is an incarnation of the Buddha who guides us, which is also the Three Realms of Law.

Tang Sanzang bowed to the guide, then looked at the boat and was shocked to find it was a bottomless boat. "Bodhisattva, why is this boat bottomless?"

The Buddha smiled and said, "The boat carries those with affinity, therefore it has no bottom. Holy monk, please come aboard."

For some reason, the golden headband on Sun Wukong's head flashed, and an uncontrollable urge to fight arose in his heart. He was about to push Tang Sanzang on the back.

Suddenly, he shuddered. 'These Buddhist methods are truly impossible to guard against!'

He forcibly suppressed his urge to act, and just watched, waiting for Tang Sanzang to make his own decision.

Jieyin made no move. In any case, whether it was Jin Chanzi or Tang Sanzang, as long as they entered Lingshan and became Buddhas, they would all be members of his Buddhist sect.

Pigsy and Sandy kept their minds focused; they were not like Monkey King and could not bear such consequences.

Tang Sanzang closed his eyes in deep thought, then opened them again, his eyes clear and bright.

"Amitabha!" He jumped in without hesitation and stood firmly on the bottomless boat.

The guide looked at Tang Sanzang with a very warm smile, and put his hands together, saying, "Excellent! Excellent!"

There were no corpses at Lingyun Ferry; Tang Sanzang's body became a Buddha.

With a clang, the golden bell appeared, accompanied by chanting. A phantom image of a Buddha materialized on the bell, enveloping the Buddha's body.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Golden Bell Cover has been fully mastered, reaching the first realm of laws, achieving the body of a Golden Immortal, and attaining an immortal body.

"Hahaha!" Sun Wukong was overjoyed for Tang Sanzang. "It's done! Master has succeeded!"

Pigsy and Sandy were also all smiles.

At the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Buddha remained silent for a moment, then nodded. The arising and ceasing of causes and conditions is as it should be, and reincarnation also carries risks.

With Tang Sanzang's cultivation complete, Jin Chanzi could only remain silent.

After crossing Lingyun Ferry, ahead lies a staircase carved from mutton-fat jade, consisting of eighty-one sections, each section having eighty-one steps.

There are many steps, and the Great Thunder Temple is quite far away.

However, Tang Sanzang was no longer a mortal, and in no time he arrived at the Great Thunder Temple with Sun Wukong and the others.

After the announcement, I went inside and saw the towering Buddha statue.

"Disciple Tang Xuanzang pays respects to the Buddha."

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing also bowed down.

With the golden headband still in place, Sun Wukong had no choice but to bow down.

The Buddha raised his hand and said, "Get up!"

Tang Sanzang stood up, put his hands together and said, "This disciple is ordered by the Tang Emperor to seek the true scriptures. I hope the Buddha will grant my request."

The Buddha said, “Your Great Tang in the East is rich in resources and densely populated, but it is full of deceit, treachery, disloyalty, filial impiety, inhumanity, and injustice, committing boundless sins. I have ten thousand volumes of scriptures here that can help you to save the world.”

Sun Wukong couldn't help but roll his eyes, 'You talk as if your place at the foot of Mount Ling is some kind of wonderful place.'

Buddha saw this and turned his gaze to him. "Wukong, do you have something to say?"

Sun Wukong was only thinking about getting out of Lingshan and reuniting with Lin Zhu as soon as possible, so he said, "This disciple has nothing to say. Buddha, you are right, you are right."

Having encountered a rebuff, the Tathagata said nothing more and turned to Ananda and Kasyapa, saying, "Venerable ones, take the Tripitaka Master and the others to have a meal, and then pass on the scriptures to them."

Ananda and Kasyapa responded, and after having a vegetarian meal with Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, they went to the Sutra Repository to select scriptures.

Ananda and Kasyapa took the opportunity to ask Tang Sanzang for a bribe, but were rebuked by Sun Wukong. They had no choice but to give up.

After the scriptures were selected, Maitreya came over for a look and gave a strange smile.

Having obtained the wordless sutra, Buddha did not allow them to have another audience, and instead ordered them to be teleported directly out of Mount Sumeru.

At the foot of Mount Ling, Tang Sanzang smiled broadly, finally able to travel to the Tang Dynasty to spread Buddhism.

Sun Wukong's ears twitched as he heard Lin Zhu's voice transmission: "Wukong, take Sanzang to the South Heavenly Gate, directly to the Tang Dynasty."

This is going to cause trouble.

Sun Wukong became excited and approached Tang Sanzang, saying, "Master, now that we have obtained the scriptures, do you want to return to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible?"

Tang Sanzang, also eager to return home, asked, "Wukong, do you have a way?"

Sun Wukong nodded and smiled, "Of course, we'll go through the South Heavenly Gate." Then he looked at the White Dragon Horse, "Little White Dragon, why aren't you transforming into a dragon?"

Upon hearing this, the white dragon horse transformed into a thousand-foot-long white dragon without saying a word, carrying the scriptures and Tang Sanzang, and soared into the sky.

Lin Zhu appeared, empowered by the power of spacetime, and shouted to Ao Lie, "Let's go!"

"Let's go too." Sun Wukong laughed and followed with a somersault cloud. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing hesitated for a moment, and then they also turned into a golden light.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the South Heavenly Gate.

At the Great Thunderclap Temple, Buddha was waiting for Sun Wukong and his companions to return and reason with him. After all, they were already at the foot of Mount Ling, and it was unlikely that anything else would happen.

Ananda and Kasyapa were also all smiles. That purple-gold alms bowl was a wonderful thing, comparable to purple-gold cinnabar, which could help the Buddha condense his golden body.

After all, it was bestowed by Li Shimin and carries a portion of the Tang Dynasty's fortune, making it priceless.

Suddenly, an Arhat ran in and said, "Reporting to Buddha, Tang Sanzang and his disciples have departed on a cloud."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Mount Ling suddenly jumped up from their seats, and even the Tathagata was not immune to this.

"Quickly, go and chase them back! We absolutely cannot let them enter the Tang Dynasty. No, I will go myself."

With a flash of golden light, the Buddha disappeared from the golden lotus.

"Amitabha!" Guanyin closed her eyes.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor watched this scene, his cheeks twitching.

Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, and he said to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, I wish to catch up with the Buddha, so I will take my leave now."

Chapter 1126 A Slap

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's request, the Jade Emperor's eyes twitched. This guy was up to something again!

But that's fine too. If Tathagata isn't doing well, then the Jade Emperor's opportunity has come, right? He might even reach the Chaos Realm sooner than Tathagata.

After all, he is the nominal ruler of the Three Realms, while Tathagata, in terms of rank, is only at the same level as the Five Elders of the Five Directions.

"You may leave now, my dear minister."

Zhao Gongming apologized and transformed into a golden light, heading to intercept the Buddha.

Wen Zhong looked solemn, worried that Zhao Gongming alone could not stop Tathagata, so he sent a telepathic message to his master, the Golden Spirit Mother.

"Master, True Monarch Lin Zhu is returning to the Tang Dynasty with the scriptures, but for some reason, Buddha is on his way to stop him, and Uncle-Master Gongming has already gone to intercept him. This disciple senses something amiss and humbly requests Master's judgment."

In the Three Enclosures Star Palace, the Golden Spirit Mother received a telepathic message. Although she did not know the intricacies of the message, she knew that this was a good opportunity to cause trouble for Tathagata.

Without a moment's hesitation, she used the power of the stars to teleport, appearing before Buddha even faster than Zhao Gongming.

"Where is the Buddha going?"

Buddha had no time to argue with Golden Spirit Mother. "Junior sister, please step aside."

Zhao Gongming arrived shortly after, smiling as he said, "Buddha, I have encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation recently, and I hope that you can enlighten me."
