"You're back!" Looking at the monkey lying on the lotus leaf, leisurely eating fruits and drinking fine wine, Cheng Hao sat beside him. He asked with a smile.
"Master, you're done with your seclusion?" Wukong was a little surprised. He was a half-step Rank 4 being. He did not expect his master to appear beside him without him noticing at all.
"Mm!" Cheng Hao nodded. "I heard that you had an argument with the person who wanted to obtain the scriptures?"
"Hehe, it's nothing." Wukong scratched his head embarrassedly. "That Tang Xuanzang has a mortal body. Why would I be angry with him? I just missed the divine wine in the sect, so I purposely found an excuse to come back and slack off for a few days. "
"Monkey, you're honest. Alright, you should be comfortable enough, right? Let's go back quickly, in case Tang Xuanzang gets eaten by a demon! " Cheng Hao smiled and did not reprimand him. He patted Monkey's shoulder, then took a step forward and went directly to the Penglai Island's protective array.
Outside the protective array, there were already Buddhist experts waiting quietly. The one leading them was Guanyin Bodhisattva, who had interacted with Cheng Hao a few times.
Beside Guanyin Bodhisattva was a fat pig-headed man with a nine-toothed rake. It seemed that he was Tang Xuanzang's second disciple, Zhu Bajie.
As soon as Cheng Hao appeared, Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly put his palms together and bowed. Ever since he witnessed Cheng Hao saving Sun Wukong from the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva's attitude towards Cheng Hao had changed. At the very least, he was much more respectful in terms of etiquette.
"Greetings, Venerable One. May I ask if Brother Wukong is in Penglai Island?"
Cheng Hao didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around and pointed his finger. A human-shaped passage suddenly appeared in the island's protective array. Then, Sun Wukong walked out of the passage with a lazy look on his face.
"Bodhisattva, I've already been chased out by Tang Xuanzang. Why are you still looking for me?"
"Aiyo, my Brother Monkey, you've finally come out. If you don't show up, our Master will really be steamed and eaten by the monsters."
Before Guan Yin Bodhisattva could say anything, Zhu Bajie, who was standing beside him, could not hold it in any longer. He flew to Wukong's side like a wisp of smoke and started to tell him about his experiences over the past few days.
Endless bitter tears, endless sorrow, and sorrow. In short, without their Eldest Senior Brother, Tang Sanzang and his disciples were living a miserable life. Right now, apart from Ba Jie, the others had all been captured by the demons. If their Eldest Senior Brother still refused to come out, their scripture seeking party would really be finished!
"Master!" Wukong did not immediately agree to follow Zhu Bajie to rescue Tang Sanzang. Instead, he looked at Cheng Hao and waited for his master's decision.
"Go on. Don't throw a tantrum anymore. The sooner you head to Spiritual Mountain to obtain the true scriptures, the sooner you can attain the Golden Immortal Realm!" Cheng Hao nodded, indicating that Wukong could set off now.
"Alright. Don't worry, Master. This time, I will definitely send Tang Sanzang to Spiritual Mountain in one piece. I won't embarrass you!"
Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie's arm with one hand. Spatial ripples spread from his body. After Zhu Bajie pointed out the direction, he turned and prepared to leave the East Sea.
He was a connate stone monkey. With the great merit of Nüwa mending the heavens, he was one of the elite connate gods and demons. Now that he had cultivated the cultivation method of the Celestial Demon Lineage that Cheng Hao had imparted to him, he could still use spatial mystiques even under the suppression of spatial laws. His speed was much faster than Patriarch Bodhi's Somersault Cloud.
But before he left, Wukong took another long look at his Master. This was because his Master's voice had rung in his head. His Master's voice was low and unprecedentedly stern. This was the first time Wukong had heard such a stern voice from his Master.
"Once you send the person who has obtained the scriptures to Spiritual Mountain, leave the western region immediately. There must be no delays!"
Although he did not understand why his Master had specifically instructed him to do this, he knew that his Master would not do something without reason. There must be a reason that he did not understand. He did not need to think too much about it. All he had to do was follow his Master's instructions!
After Wukong and Zhu Bajie left, Guanyin Bodhisattva uttered a Buddhist proclamation. Then, he put his palms together and expressed his gratitude to Cheng Hao.
"Many thanks, Honored One. If there's nothing else, this humble monk will take his leave!"
"Fellow cultivator, please wait!" Cheng Hao waved his hand. With a wave of his sleeve, the surrounding space froze. In an instant, the space where the two of them were in seemed to be isolated from the three realms. Even someone as strong as Guanyin Bodhisattva could no longer sense the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Honored One, what do you mean by this?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression changed greatly. Although she was also a Rank Four existence and was one of the strongest in Buddhism, compared to Haotian in front of her, she was not just a little bit weaker. If he attacked her, she did not even have the confidence to hold on until the Honored One came to her rescue.
"With your strength, I don't think there are many Buddhas on Spiritual Mountain who are your match. Why haven't you attained Buddha's Fruit after so long?"
"This humble monk is the Honored One's eldest disciple. I should serve the Honored One. Before my Second Junior Brother completes his cultivation and can serve the Honored One, I have no plans to become a Buddha!" Guanyin Bodhisattva was slightly stunned. She did not expect Cheng Hao to stop her just to ask such a question.
"Haha, I'm afraid it's not that you have no plans to become a Buddha, but that you have no plans to become a Buddha at all, right?" Cheng Hao's smile was very gentle. However, as Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression changed continuously, he continued, "If you didn't come in person today, I wouldn't have noticed the clues. Cultivating both Buddhism and Taoism, you are really bold. I'm sure you don't care about that insignificant Buddha's Fruit at all, right?"
"Honored One saw through it?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart sank. Even the Buddha and Revered Buddha did not see through her dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism. She did not expect that the mysterious Haotian Taoist would see through her in their first meeting.
"The Daoist technique that you're cultivating is not the Golden Core Dao. I'm curious. Did you obtain the Daoist technique from some secret sect, or did you figure it out on your own? I don't know if you can answer my question? "
Guanyin Bodhisattva's Dantian was filled with Buddhist power and the Golden Light of Merit. It covered the entire Dantian sea. Even a Rank Five expert like the Gautama Buddha would find it difficult to investigate the situation in her Dantian.
