CHAPTER 549: CHAPTER 487, MASTER PUTI BLOCKS THE PATH

Bai Jin was cautious in his heart, secretly guessing, it definitely wouldn’t be Senior Hao Tian; our relationship is as close as family.

Immortal Zhenyuan could also be ruled out; there has been much affectionate interaction between us, akin to close friends.

I’ve only met the Ming He Sect Master once, and there was no displeasure; he shouldn’t come to trouble me either.

The guardians of the four directions, the Holy Beasts, could also be ruled out; with relationships like Kong Xuan and Aoguang, the Four Holy Beasts should not make things difficult for me.

The rest is easy to guess, could it be Kunpeng Demon Master?!

Ideas rapidly flashed through Bai Jin’s mind, and after speculating, he immediately bowed and said, "Please, Senior Uncle, show yourself!"

A ripple appeared in front of Bai Jin, from which an old Daoist wearing a Daoist robe emerged, casually placing a horsetail whisk on his arm, chuckled and said, "Bai Jin, you actually guessed it’s me, truly remarkable."

Bai Jin’s eyes twitched twice, and his heart instantly went on high alert, how could it be him? Master Puti is much more dangerous than Kunpeng.

Bai Jin hurriedly said with a smile, "This isn’t a guess, disciple has long felt your presence, Senior Uncle. Vast and immense, unparalleled compassion, unique in all the Primordial World."

Master Puti chuckled and said, "Indeed, you can sense my presence, your Dao is maturing!"

Bai Jin pointed to his chest and earnestly said, "Senior Uncle, it just takes sincerity, if the heart is present, so are dreams, between heaven and earth there naturally exists... there exists..."

"What exists?"

"Between heaven and earth, there exists affection between uncle and nephew!"

Master Puti roared with laughter and said, "Interesting, truly interesting.

Bai Jin, you have a sharp mind, why not go to Western Buddhism and practice for a while?"

Bai Jin quickly replied, "Thank you for your profound affection, Senior Uncle, but the disciple’s affairs are many, and I really can’t spare the focus these days, so I can only disappoint your kind intentions."

Master Puti spoke with a half-smile, "Too busy to spare a moment, are you busy making trouble for me, Senior Uncle?"

"How could that be? I have always respected Senior Uncle the most. Whatever Senior Uncle intends to do, disciple will definitely support it fully."

"I want to undertake a Westward Journey!"

Bai Jin instantly made an unhesitant reply, "Of course, disciple holds both hands and feet in approval, obtaining the scriptures through the Westward Journey, resolving conflicts between the Buddha Sect and the Mysterious Sect, is a great thing for all Immortals and Buddhas in the Three Realms, all beings in the Primordial World should be thankful for Senior Uncle’s compassion.

Disciple is willing to work diligently in front and behind the scenes to plan the Westward Journey for you, Senior Uncle."

Master Puti asked with a smile, "Do you truly think this way?"

Bai Jin nodded continuously, his sincere eyes blinking, "Senior Uncle, the disciple’s heart can be seen as clear as day and night!"

Master Puti suddenly spoke exasperatedly, "Then it seems Guanyin lied to me, claiming you were causing trouble within it, I even thought you were trying to stop the Westward Journey! Causing me needless worry."

"Disciple wouldn’t dare! This is a great matter planned by Senior Uncle that benefits the Three Realms, even if you give disciple ten thousand doses of courage, I wouldn’t dare to interfere!"

"It looks like I misunderstood you, nephew."

"Senior Uncle, disciple sees the long-term! Everything Senior Uncle does is for the good of the Eastern, disciple understands!" Bai Jin said with a smiling face.

Master Puti roared with laughter, "Watch me rightly scold Guanyin, hearing some rumors and making wild guesses, it’s not what a Bodhisattva should do."

"Guanyin Bodhisattva is just flustered with care, Senior Uncle mustn’t chill the hearts of the disciples, a few light lashes would be enough, serving as a small punishment and a big warning!"

Master Puti nodded and chuckled, "Indeed, a minor punishment serves as a major warning.

When the Calamity comes, the Westward Journey concerns the survival of all beings. If she continues to be restless and unruly, she cannot escape walking into the midst of this disaster, and then even I can’t save her."

Bai Jin felt a chill in his heart and smiled slightly, "Senior Uncle is right. I have also witnessed the Calamity twice, including its terrifying aspects."

Master Puti nodded slightly and sighed, "If only Guanyin could give us as little worry as you."

"She is still young, she will grow up. Senior Uncle, please take more care of her."

"Very well. Since it’s a misunderstanding, I shall take my leave now. Bai Jin, take care of yourself." Master Puti smiled softly as his figure faded and vanished.

Bai Jin bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Disciple respectfully sees off Senior Uncle!"

Moments later, Bai Jin stood up, his expression solemn. It seems this alteration in the Big Chaos in Heaven had already crossed the bottom line of the two Saints from the West. They regard the progress of the Westward Journey more seriously than expected, and when it begins, some restraint is necessary. Otherwise, upsetting Buddhism could lead to uncontrollable consequences.

Bai Jin’s figure rippled and merged into the void, disappearing from sight.

...

A day in Heaven is a year in the mortal world. Unknowingly, two years had passed since the Heavenly Descending Lotus Mountain, and the fame of Sun Wukong had spread throughout the Primordial World under the deliberate spread by the Buddha-minded.

"It is said that above the East Sea, there is a Huaguo Mountain, where resides a Great Demon King known as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

This Sun Wukong has vast Divine Skills and boundless Mana, with a body as tough as bronze and iron, and capable of 72 Transformations.

Dissatisfied with the tyrannical rule of the Heavenly Emperor, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc at the Pan Peach Banquet and destroyed the Yaochi Holy Land.

Later, in a furious rage, the Jade Emperor sent King Li as leader, along with a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to capture him.

The Sun Wukong then rallied the Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings and fought a battle against various Gods above the East Sea, making a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flee helter-skelter, and even the Thunder Department Gods, Fighting Gods, Twenty-Eight Constellations, and the Four Heavenly Kings were defeated.

At this critical moment, the Heavenly Court’s Justice God descended, and Justices Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing fought a fierce battle with the Great Sage, and only cooperatively did they finally subdue the Great Sage. That battle was earth-shattering!"

"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!" An exasperated voice echoed from the vortex of the cave.

At the top of the mountain, in front of the Lotus Pond, lay a giant tiger, a sika deer, and a goat.

The goat said, "Great Sage, that’s exactly how it’s being spread outside! And the spread is far and wide."

Inside the mountain, Sun Wukong was lying on a stone pillar, tapping his Erlang legs and looking up at the bit of sky outside, he scoffed and said, "Although I, old Sun, pride myself on my extraordinary skills, Yang Jiao and Yang Jian have cultivated for a longer time than me, so naturally, they are a bit stronger.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss; old Sun disdains lying."

The giant tiger worshipfully said, "Great Sage, defeating a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals as well as many divine beings, you truly are our idol!"

The curious sika deer asked, "Great Sage, what really happened in that initial battle?"

"Bananas!"

A flash of light crossed the antlers of the sika deer, and half a banana tree laden with bananas emerged, plunging into the cave entrance without any obstruction and entering the inside of the mountain.

Sun Wokung grabbed the banana tree casually and jammed it solidly into a stone hole beside him.

He then grabbed a banana, peeled it, took a bite, and with brightened eyes said, "Tastes a bit better than yesterday!"

The sika deer whispered, "Great Sage, I stole this from the Three Pure Ones Temple in the past. You must keep this a secret for me!"
