After leaving the spiritual mountain, Yang Jian rushed back to the Ethereal Land where the Saint was and entered the Chaos Bell to cultivate again.
Although he had only wasted half a day, he had interrupted his comprehension of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. Yang Jian felt a little helpless.
However, protecting Sun Wukong was equivalent to protecting another hope for the Primordial World. The outcome was not bad.
The Buddhists …
After he killed the Five-Element Golden Exalt Ge Li, the Celestial Court and the Buddhists tried their best to avoid provoking him. Now, they schemed against Sun Wukong. They probably thought that he would not notice it when he was in seclusion in the Chaos Bell.
However, when Yang Jian returned to his seclusion, he could not focus for a long time.
There were two suspicious points in his heart that made him think more.
Firstly, there was chaos in the Journey to the West Tribulation. The real and fake Monkey King, who should have been later, actually arrived after the three White Bone Spirits. That was different from what Yang Jian knew.
Previously, Yang Jian had already understood that the stories he knew were the "perfect" script written by the Heavenly Dao when there were no variables.
He was a variable in the God-Conferment. He had schemed against Jiang Shang and used the situation to rise. It had also caused the God-Conferment to be similar to the original story. There were many changes in the process.
Now, he did not interfere with the Journey to the West Tribulation. What variables existed in the world that caused the Journey to the West Tribulation to deviate from the original "script"?
This variable was definitely something that the Primordial Heavenly Dao could not detect. Yang Jian thought about it and could not help but think of three words …
Ultimate experts.
"Did they interfere with the Journey to the West?"
As soon as Yang Jian had that thought, he could not stop it.
In fact, it was not just the supreme experts. The lackeys of the supreme experts were variables to the Journey to the West Tribulation.
From the current situation, the variables did not seem to be too strong. The impact on the Journey to the West was not too obvious. It seemed that the other party was secretly plotting something, but the Primordial Heavenly Dao and the Saints did not notice it.
If Yang Jian had the time, he would really want to dig into these things.
However, at this time, he had reached a critical juncture in comprehending the Tao and cultivating. Whether he could break through to the supreme realm before the Great Tribulation depended on whether he could push the Eight-Nine Mysteries to the peak during the years of the Journey to the West.
Forget it. Even if he managed to find something, it wouldn't be able to change the outcome of the impending calamity.
This was only the first point of suspicion. The second point was more complicated.
In the Netherworld's Buddha Realm, Yang Jian still had an inexplicable feeling when he recalled the pagoda where Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener lived.
This feeling was rather strange, especially when he looked at the Truth Listener divine beast. He had a nagging feeling that he had seen it somewhere before …
However, whether it was his current life or his previous life, Du Bi did not have any memories of the Truth Listener divine beast.
The divine beast was actually a mutated species of the Primordial World. Yang Jian could also see the Truth Listener's "growth process" through the Heavenly Dao.
"Maybe it's because his aura is similar to Senior Bai Ze's."
Yang Jian said softly and sat in the void to ponder for a while. Then, he shook his head and began to cultivate.
Taking advantage of the fact that his heart could not calm down, Yang Jian shifted his attention to his incarnation. He first went to the Black Spirit Kingdom and circled around. Then, he shifted his attention to his incarnation in Fengdu City.
When he opened his eyes, he saw ten Yama Lords chatting and laughing in front of him, as well as the Howling Celestial Dog that was eating heartily at the side.
Previously, Yang Jian had been in a hurry to summon his true body to go to the spiritual mountain. He had left his incarnation in Fengdu City. At that moment, he realized that he was standing at a street corner. The surroundings had already been sealed off by the Netherworld Servants.
"Perfected Lord, you're here!"
King Qinguang's eyes lit up. He led the other Yama Lords to greet him. Yang Jian also cupped his hands and bowed.
"Perfected Lord, why did you leave your incarnation here?"
"I had some urgent matters to attend to previously. I didn't have time to move it," Yang Jian replied with a smile and asked directly, "Is the Goddess in seclusion?"
"She's not in seclusion. The Goddess has a decree. If you come, you can go to the Reincarnation Disc to look for her."
"Thank you." Yang Jian cupped his hands and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, he flew towards the Reincarnation Disc with the Howling Celestial Dog.
The other shore that Yang Jian had been meeting with the Lady of Earth was actually equivalent to a projection of the Lady of Earth's mental state. It was between existence and non-existence. It was rather mysterious.
This time, when he entered the other shore of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Yang Jian saw a unique pavilion. The Lady of Earth was pinching snacks in the pavilion with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Goddess … Ahem, Sister?"
"You're here? Come in quickly and have a taste of the skills I've just learned. "
The Lady of Earth chuckled at Yang Jian. It was as if spring flowers had bloomed and the rays of light lingered.
Yang Jian bowed to the Lady of Earth. Although they were familiar with each other, he still had to respect her. That was Yang Jian's insistence.
Sitting beside the Lady of Earth and looking at the snacks that the Lady of Earth had made, Yang Jian did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She did not use any Dharma powers, and the materials she used were quite exquisite. They were all immortal fruits and immortal tea, but the appearance of the snacks …
"Don't laugh."
"Hey, yes, can I eat it now?" Yang Jian casually picked up something that looked like a steamed bun. He smelled it first and then stuffed it into his mouth. He immediately felt his entire body become clear and his essence spirit became cool and comfortable.
"Although it looks a little miserable, it tastes good."
The Lady of Earth immediately smiled gently. There was a rare hint of pride in her smile.
She wiped her fingers carefully with a cloud handkerchief and placed the snacks on a plate. She pushed them in front of Yang Jian and asked gently, "You've been cultivating hard recently. These snacks are actually made of immortal fruits that can refresh your mind and comprehend the Dao. It's good for you to eat more."
"If I had known, I would have sent my true body over." Yang Jian sighed regretfully. He picked up the snacks and stuffed them into his mouth. "Sister, you've been guarding the Netherworld. Have you sensed the abnormalities in the Netherworld Stream of the North Ocean?"
"Yes, I was the first to sense this matter," the Lady of Earth said seriously. "Countless armies have gathered under the Netherworld Stream. They were all living beings who once existed in the Primordial World but were unwilling to die. The methods of that supreme expert are really shocking. He came back from the dead and actually completed it in such a short time. "
"The supreme expert is always stronger than the Saint. Otherwise, how can it be called the Great Tribulation?" Yang Jian said with a smile and continued to stuff snacks.
The Lady of Earth sighed softly. She held her chin with one hand and tilted her head to look at Yang Jian.
She said, "It would be good if my brothers and sisters could be revived."
"Why? Are all the demons resurrected by that supreme expert? "
"The demons accounted for a large portion. Apart from that, there are also many Dragons, Phoenixes, and even human cultivators." The Lady of Earth shook her head gently. "I sensed that from a glance previously. However, before I could take a closer look, my spiritual senses were blocked out of the Netherworld Stream."
Yang Jian said, "When the time comes, I'll send someone to the Netherworld to support them."
"Their goal should be the ground. There won't be too strong of an attack underground," the Lady of Earth said. "After I became a Saint, the strength of the Netherworld's ghost servants is no longer what it used to be. I can barely fight."
"It's better to prepare more backup plans. It's better to be prepared." Yang Jian shook his head. If he insisted, the Lady of Earth would naturally nod and agree.
The two of them discussed the matter of the Spirit Race's reinforcements entering the Netherworld. Yang Jian had come this time for that purpose.
After they finished discussing, Yang Jian wrote a letter personally. Later, the Lady of Earth would send it to the Chaos Spirit Race's army in the outer world.
After Yang Jian finished discussing, he began to chat with the Lady of Earth. "Sister, have you interacted with the Buddhist King Ksitigarbha?"
"I've met him a few times," the Lady of Earth said. "He's a genius of the Buddhist Sect. He also has great perseverance. He swore that he would not become a Buddha until Hell was empty."
Yang Jian pondered for a while and said, "At first glance, this ambition seems to be quite frightening. However, if you investigate carefully, it's nothing new."
"Indeed." The Lady of Earth smiled bitterly and said, "The Buddhists are clearly determined to occupy the Netherworld."
Yang Jian nodded and replied, "That's right. The eighteen levels of hell are not theirs. They were born in the Netherworld when the Six Paths of Reincarnation were established."
Yang Jian paused because the Lady of Earth placed her hands on his left hand and patted it gently. "Brother, you are now concerned about the safety of the Primordial World. You should cultivate in peace. Don't think about these troublesome matters."
"However, I still feel that there are some problems with the Buddhist Sect."
The Lady of Earth said, "The Buddhist Sect was born from the Western Sect. The Western Sect relied on the two Sect Masters to make great wishes and establish the Great World. That's why they had teachings and dogmas …"
"That's right. The teachings of the Buddhist Sect are built on great wishes. How can the Buddhist Sect itself be worth looking forward to?"
Yang Jian stood up and paced back and forth at the side. In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh.
Now, he could no longer investigate the various mistakes of the Buddhist Sect. When the Great Tribulation arrived, all the factions that could be united had to be united as much as possible. No matter how dirty the Buddhist Sect and the Celestial Court were, they could only turn a blind eye.
"Ah, I'll go back to cultivate first."
"Yes, don't think too much. Just be at ease."
"Sister, when you have nothing to do, observe the movements in the Buddha Realm," Yang Jian instructed. "Especially the golden pagoda, Truth Listener, and Ksitigarbha."
"I'll keep an eye on them. Don't worry."
Yang Jian smiled but did not think too much. He bowed to the Lady of Earth and the incarnation gradually faded.
After chatting with the Lady of Earth, Yang Jian's Dao heart finally calmed down. Moreover, he had eaten many immortal fruits from the Lady of Earth. At that moment, Yang Jian's thoughts were clear and inspiration surged. He excitedly threw himself into the cultivation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
After Yang Jian left, the Lady of Earth sat there in a daze for a while. Then, she extended a finger and gently drew a circle in front of her.
In the circle, the golden pagoda was extremely clear. Nothing inside could escape the eyes of the Lady of Earth.
However, the Lady of Earth did not notice that the moment she began to observe the golden pagoda, the white-robed monk, who was meditating on the top floor, smiled disdainfully …
On the journey to the west, Sun Wukong rode the Somersault Cloud back and gathered with Tang Seng, Tian Peng, and Sha Wujing again.
Although Sun Wukong had not been replaced, he had more or less matured. He was less cheeky and had more time to think.
The ones that did not change were still the slow Tian Peng and the smiling Sha Wujing. Anyway, to the two of them, even if the sky collapsed, Eldest Senior Brother would hold it up. They did not have to care about anything.
If one were to talk about the benefits of this calamity …
