Chapter 1443: Great Awakening, True Perfection — the Jie Sect's Yun Xiao Joins the Group (1/5, please subscribe)

"Wrong, wrong!"

A flash of heavenly lightning went through Liu'er's mind, and everything suddenly became clear.

At this moment, he cast all thoughts of Fomen merit and the fortune of the Journey to the West from his mind.

Memories of the past flashed through his heart.

Everything his senior brother had done, he recalled one by one.

The past admonishments, the willingness to put himself in harm's way — the bond of it all moved him deeply.

Are demons a world where the strong devour the weak?

Yes.

But he had long since broken free of that.

He had attained Taiyi, and long since escaped this limitation.

All his later troubles were merely the weight of his own worldly attachments, binding himself before others — nothing more.

Liu'er sat cross-legged, Buddhist light shining from the back of his head.

A Buddha — one who is awakened.

To attain the Fomen merit, there is the path of bitter cultivation: enduring thousands of kalpas, cultivating immeasurable divine powers, and one can become a Buddha.

Or, in a single moment of awakening — a great, thorough awakening — one can also become a Buddha.

Moreover, the latter is even stronger than the former.

The enlightened one — that is the most orthodox cultivator of Fomen.

At this moment, a ray of Buddhist light shone across the Three Realms, bringing a glimmer of dawn to the once-decadent Lingshan.

"You actually pulled it off, Liu'er — not bad at all." Sun Wukong laughed heartily. "You managed to grasp your own chance of life and awaken to the past — truly remarkable. Worthy, indeed, of being the one in Journey to the West who could match hands with old Sun."

Sun Zi was also overjoyed.

"Congratulations, junior brother, on once more attaining the fruit position of Victorious Fighting Buddha."

Liu'er formed the samadhi mudra, opened his eyes — no trace of confusion remained in them, only a calm and serene composure.

"I must thank my senior brother for his constant guidance. Otherwise, how would Liu'er have achieved what he has today!"

Liu'er rose to his feet and stepped forward.

Suddenly he reached out and gently embraced Sun Zi.

"Senior brother, all these years of misunderstanding must have made things difficult for you."

For five hundred years, his senior brother had come to visit him every year.

Yet his own wariness only grew heavier with each visit, worrying that his senior brother would steal the good fortune of Journey to the West.

Thinking of it now, his senior brother must have been utterly helpless.

It was clearly a foolish errand that meant certain death, yet he could not speak plainly, and could only warn this hopeless fool of a self — truly laughable.

"Greetings, Immortal."
