Chapter 1444

"Greetings, Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

Liu'er released Sun Zi and stepped forward to pay respects.

"Although the Great Sage schemed against me, I gained much from it. At the very least, I won't die as I once did, and I've come to know a senior brother. Such a karmic bond deserves my thanks to the Great Sage."

Sun Wukong laughed heartily: "Whatever fruit you bear today is all your own doing—what has it to do with me? I didn't have the slightest good intention. By the way, if you want revenge in the future, come at me anytime; I'll take it all."

Liu'er shook his head gently.

The scheme at the time was extremely crude.

If he hadn't been greedy, how could he have fallen into it?

To put it bluntly, one was willing to strike, the other willing to take the blow—that was all.

Just then, above the sky, Buddhist light manifested.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan appeared.

"We pay respects to the Immortal!"

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand: "Rise."

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas breathed a sigh of relief.

This one truly did not hold the matter of Lingshan against them; the stone weighing on everyone's hearts had finally vanished.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva stepped forward, bowed to Liu'er, and said: "Avalokitesvara greets the Victorious Fighting Buddha. Now that Lingshan has fallen into decline and its fortune is low, I wonder if the Victorious Buddha would be willing to take up residence at Lingshan and become its new World-Honored One?"

This was not to say that Liu'er's cultivation base had already become the strongest at Lingshan.

His current great enlightenment notwithstanding, his cultivation base was only at the peak of Taiyi—still far behind when compared to Lingshan's powerhouses.

The reason Lingshan wished to invite Liu'er back was simply because Liu'er was bound to the Journey to the West; although the fortune upon him was no longer much, he could still halt the drain of Lingshan's fortune.

Otherwise, once Lingshan's fortune continued to flow toward Tang Xuanzang's side, the consequences would absolutely not be what the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan wished to see.

Liu'er's gaze sharpened as he looked toward the direction of the Great Tang.

Tang Xuanzang's voice drifted over leisurely: "Things should not be taken too far. Disciple, go to Lingshan!"

"Yes." Liu'er pressed his palms together, looked toward Guanyin and the others, and said, "Please, Honored One, lead the way."

"World-Honored One, please!"

Smiles appeared on the faces of the Lingshan crowd.

They paid respects to Zhang Taixuan once more before leading Liu'er away.

"Senior brother, when you have time in the future, please gather at Lingshan."

Liu'er, seated upon the lotus platform, suddenly turned his head and smiled and nodded toward Sun Zi in greeting.

"I will go." Sun Zi nodded lightly, and the heavy burden in his heart was finally set down completely.

In these five hundred years, there were three people he had wronged: first, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court who had enfeoffed him; second, Bodhi Patriarch who had taught him to cultivate; third, the junior brother who had been at his side day and night.

Now that all three had forgiven him, he was finally and truly at ease.

The moment his thoughts relaxed, the aura around him grew several times stronger again.

Sun Wukong watched, speechless inside: "This guy really isn't the least bit carefree—who would have thought he'd still care so much about those five hundred years."

Just as he was thinking, the chat group's notification chime rang out.

【Ding, Alien Princess has joined the chat group.】

【Ding, Jiao Sect Yunxiao has joined the chat group.】

【Ding, East Sea Fairy has joined the chat group.】

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Five hundred years, and finally new people have joined again."

Su Xiao: "Cut it out—time just passes faster on your side. The rest of us haven't gone through five hundred years."

Xiao Mai: "Exactly, exactly."

East Sea Fairy: "Oh my, the myriad heavens worlds—are you great powers from some other world? I'm just an ordinary cultivator. Why would this group find me!"

Xiao Yan: "Ordinary? Those who say they're ordinary usually aren't."

Su Xiao: "Indeed—Saitama even said he was ordinary!"

Saitama: "I really am just an ordinary Earthling."

Alien Princess: "Wahhh, a chat group connecting the myriad heavens worlds—how amazing."

Su Xiao: "Eh, aren't you going to question it at all? Where's your skeptical spirit!"

Alien Princess: "Should I be suspicious? Are you guys lying?"

Xiao Mai: "Of course not."

Lala: "That's good, hehe. The myriad heavens worlds must be lots of fun. If I went to another world, Father wouldn't be able to find me, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "So it is that Alien Princess."

Su Xiao: "I know—pink-haired succubus!"

Lala: "I'm not a succubus!"

Xiao Mai: "She does look a bit like one though. That heart-shaped tail."

Lala: "That's a physical trait of the Debiruku people—it's not even the same species as a succubus!"

East Sea Fairy: "Succubus—what kind of demon is that? There are demons in this group?!"

Jiao Sect Yunxiao: "Demons? So what if they're demons—none of us chose our birth. Demons aren't necessarily bad people either."

East Sea Fairy: "Jiao Sect? There are still people from this sect? My Master once told me it was a sect that flourished for a time in the ancient era and has now become legend. I never expected there'd actually be someone from Jiao Sect in this group!"

Yunxiao: "Jiao Sect has become a legend?!!!"
