NOVEL NEXT Chapter 726
Zi Liyuan just focuses on transcending the other party and conveniently inherits all of the party's assets, including cultivation level, and even the corpse.
For example, when a certain female rabbit felt the grandeur of Buddhist Law and wanted to join the Buddhist Sect, Chen Sanzang packed her off to the Western Paradise.
By the way, he marinated the rabbit head with spicy seasoning, which truly was utterly delicious.
Riding his little tiger, Chen Sanzang finally arrived at the border of the Great Qin Empire, outside the Two Worlds Mountain.
Looking at the five bald peaks like fingers piercing the sky, he couldn't help but marvel that the Buddha was indeed impressive, worthy of being the former master brother of the Jie Sect.
"Old Xi, if we don't go up the mountain to pay respects, can we break this seal by force and release Little Kongkong?"
The soaring peaks gave Chen Sanzang no desire to climb, especially since the Five Elements Mountain was barren and had nothing; even the thought of seeking hidden mysteries or encountering ladies couldn't interest him.
"If you completely transcend Golden Cicada and inherit his entire cultivation level, you could forcibly break it."
Old Xi did a brief exploration, discovering that the Five Elements Mountain connected to earth veins, gathering the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth to form a shackle, along with the Buddha Seal left by Tathagata on the peak, which kept Sun Wukong trapped.
However, the seal wasn't too strong; a Daluo Realm expert could break it through brute force.
The reason no one released Sun Wukong was that the Buddhist Sect had stationed people there, and a Daluo Realm expert had no reason to offend the Buddhist Sect.
After all, the reputation of the two saints of the Buddhist Sect wasn't great, and helping the monkey might end up enrolling themselves in the Western Teaching since the Jie Sect had been the biggest victim before, right?
"Damn it, really have to climb the mountain to pay respects to Tathagata, huh? Hmm, today I'll bow to him; but tomorrow, I'll surely make him bow back tenfold!"
Chen Sanzang muttered angrily but didn't climb the mountain immediately; instead, he headed towards the place where Sun Wukong was held.
"Little Kongkong, your heavenly destiny mentor has come to recruit you to join us?"
Holding a staff in one hand and a small wine gourd in the other, Chen Sanzang sat on the little tiger, drinking while chanting Buddhist hymns.
"Oh, today we have a wine-drinking monk? Old Sun hasn't had a drink in ages; give Old Sun a cup first to quench his thirst."
With the Great Qin Empire people taking care, though Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, apart from being unable to move, he wasn't lacking in food and drink.
But alcohol was given sparingly, mainly because the monkey had poor drinking habits; he liked to curse heaven, earth, and the Buddha when drunk.
People from the Great Qin Empire also feared being noted by the Buddha, so when serving Sun Wukong, they seldom gave him alcohol.
"Oh my, I'd thought monkeys are usually lean, how did Little Kongkong get so plump?"
Chen Sanzang had an odd look at Sun Wukong, with half his shoulder and head visible outside the Five Elements Mountain.
Having seen many versions of Brother Monkey before, it's the first time seeing one so plump, with the monkey's face turned into a ball, full of humor.
"Every day it's either eating or drinking, or lying down for a nap, staying idle for decades without any exercise; can I not gain weight?"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, rubbed his swollen face like buns, full of helplessness.
That damned Five Elements Mountain not only pressed on him, preventing movement but also sealed his mana.
While he could painstakingly flip himself over with sheer body strength for a more comfortable sleeping position, he couldn't do slimming exercises, right?
If his mana wasn't sealed, he could use it to refine away the current excess fat; for now, he could only lie obediently.
He didn't want to reveal his already sky-rocketed strength, letting the Buddha prepare anything.
The grudge of being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, Brother Monkey would surely seek revenge, at least shave off Tathagata's hair and polish it with a stick.
Isn't there a saying that iron rods can be ground into needles in the human world?
Brother Monkey wanted to try if the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle rod could be ground into needles using Tathagata's bald head!
"I see."
Chen Sanzang nodded and then took out a Memory Stone from his Storage Ring casually, activating it with a strand of mana, capturing a 365-degree view of the monkey's current appearance.
It's rare to see Little Kongkong's character collapse; if he doesn't record it for some blackmail inspiration, how could the scheming Chen Sanzang live up to it?
"Damn, you wine-drinking bald monk, how could you record? Quickly give Old Sun the Memory Stone, otherwise when Old Sun escapes, it'll be beaten with a stick!"
Doesn't Old Sun care for his face?
Looking at the quick maneuver, swiftly putting away the Memory Stone, the wine-drinking monk Sun Wukong gnashed his teeth.
But now his round face like buns had no trace of ferocity.
Attempts to look fierce while baring his teeth instead appear silly and adorably naive.
"Little Kongkong, how about trading a Memory Stone for your freedom?"
Forcefully stuffing a chicken drumstick into the cursing monkey's mouth, Chen Sanzang spoke lightly.
"What? Going out, so you are the bald monk sent by the Buddhist Sect for the westward journey to fetch the scriptures?"
Monkey mumbled and talked unclearly while chewing the chicken drumstick.
He erupted with powerful strength, making himself turn like a salted fish, laying back facing up, looking at the wine-drinking monk.
"Amitabha, Little Kongkong, what kind of talk is that? How can this humble monk be the same as a bald monk? You better choose your words carefully, or else... hehe."
Chen Sanzang sneered glancing intentionally and unintentionally at the direction of the Five Elements Mountain peak.
