Chapter 705

With just one punch, Sun Wukong was sent flying again, his bones shattered and blood coughing out in large mouthfuls.

"This... how can there be such a formidable physical body in this world? It's even stronger than my Indestructible Golden Body!"

He channeled his divine abilities, recovered in the blink of an eye, and charged back up.

The Chaos Body remained calm and unhurried, swinging its fists and feet to smash over.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several times in a row, Sun Wukong could only parry; he was beaten into the ground, creating a deep pit, only to be kicked out by the Chaos Body and subjected to a round of heavy punches.

Boom!

Finally, with one punch, Sun Wukong's body was blasted apart again, ending the battle.

"I don't accept this! I want to compete with weapons!"

"Is that so?" Zhang Taixuan chuckled. With a thought, his Holy Spirit avatar appeared. The Taixuan Sword slashed out, and instantly, a sword intent that could cleave heaven and earth permeated the air.

Crack!

Sun Wukong's form was slashed in two once again.

He channeled his divine abilities, wanting to recover, but felt a fierce, malevolent sword intent within his flesh, clinging to him like bone-eating maggots, impossible to remove.

"Ah..."

In the end, the sword Qi erupted, and Sun Wukong's body was reduced to powder under the sword intent.

"I still want to compete with divine abilities!"

Sun Wukong appeared again, the arrogance in his eyes having diminished significantly.

In his view, he had lost in weapons and physical strength, but surely his seventy-two transformations wouldn't lose?

The person before him was so young; it was impossible for him to be proficient in everything.

As the former Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he was proud and wanted to win back a round.

In spectator mode.

Su Xiao laughed arrogantly: "Competing in divine abilities? Haha, most of the divine abilities in the mall were created by Brother Taixuan. He actually wants to compete with Brother Taixuan in divine abilities?"

Umaru echoed: "This must be what the great Jin Chan refers to as a frog in a well."

Ye Hei chuckled: "He's done for."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, another avatar manifested from Zhang Taixuan's body.

As soon as the Phoenix avatar emerged, heavenly music resounded, shaking the universe.

Before Sun Wukong could react, he saw the Phoenix avatar spread its wings, five-colored rays of light flying up, and a rain of swords falling down.

Pfft!

The next moment, his Indestructible Golden Body was slashed into nothingness again.

"No!"

"This is impossible. How could my Indestructible Golden Body be so pathetic?!"

It was clearly indestructible, immune to magic treasures and flying swords; why was it broken so easily every time?

Even when he stormed the Heavenly Court back in the day, such a thing had never happened.

Yet he did not know that so-called indestructibility had its limits.

Indestructible in a Small Thousand World meant nothing in a Middle Thousand World.

Indestructible in a Middle Thousand World was the same when placed in a Great Thousand World.

The boundaries of the worlds were different; the so-called indestructibility was just a joke.

"I want to fight your true self!"

"Is that so?" Zhang Taixuan sneered. The Star Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand, and he tossed it lightly.

Pfft!

The next moment, the Measuring Ruler landed on the demon monkey, erasing him.

This time, the demon monkey did not appear for a long while. After a long time, he finally reappeared on the arena, his face full of disbelief.

"Impossible, why do I lose every single time?"

Zhang Taixuan did not answer and directly canceled the arena function.

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "I'm dying of laughter. Does this Sun Wukong have a masochistic streak? He's lost so many times and still wants to fight?"

Umaru: "Did the Tathagata abuse the monkey so badly that it drove him crazy?"

Ye Hei: "Animal rights activists have sent their condemnation; the Tathagata is too cruel! 【Snicker】"

Hu Yifei: "It is indeed monkey abuse, but this monkey is very brutal. I still support the decision of the Tathagata in this world."

Jin Chan: "This monkey should indeed be locked up. If left outside, he will cause no small amount of trouble."

Jin Chan: "Moreover, the Tathagata of this world probably isn't a good person either."

Hu Yifei: "How so?"

Jin Chan: "If Miss Hu were in the environment of the Great Sun Tathagata and knew that a pig demon eats people and a fish demon eats people, what would you do?"

Hu Yifei: "Naturally, I would slap them to death."

Jin Chan: "See? The answer is obvious. Miss Hu doesn't preach compassion, yet you can't stand such things, while the Great Sun Tathagata preaches compassion but ignores such things when he encounters them, as if he didn't see them."

Fa Hai: "This is indeed somewhat different from the doctrines preached by my Buddha. However, didn't the later parts explain that it was to temper Tang Seng, to make him understand great love and small love, and then go on the pilgrimage to save all living beings?"

Jin Chan: "Ridiculous! If an ordinary person doesn't even love their own family, and then says they love their country, would you believe them?"

Hu Yifei: "That's hard to believe."

Umaru: "Indeed, if someone treats their family very poorly, it's unlikely they love their country."

Yue Fei: "If one does not love their own small family, naturally they will not love the country."

Jin Chan: "Exactly. The so-called great love and small love are just nonsense. Small love is love, and great love is also love. Is there any conflict between loving those around you and loving the people of the world? There is no conflict! To put it bluntly, the Great Sun Tathagata arranged those things just to temper Tang Seng and gild him."

Jin Chan: "I read history books, and this kind of gilding, especially in officialdom, happens often; it's very common. But the mistake lies in the Great Sun Tathagata preaching compassion while doing the exact opposite. It's truly hypocritical and disgusting."

Su Xiao: "Put that way, it makes sense. If an ordinary sect did this, no one would say anything. But the Tathagata's doctrines and actions are clearly inconsistent."

Sun Wukong: "Isn't this normal? The Buddhas of Lingshan just treat the common people as a source of incense. As long as they can promote the sect, what do they care if some ordinary people are sacrificed? Conscience? How can you become a Buddha or an ancestor with a conscience?"

Umaru: "Isn't that too arbitrary? Could there really be no good people in Lingshan?"

Sun Wukong: "In the mortal world, to become an emperor, one must discard many things—conscience, morality. In the cultivation world, to become a Bodhisattva or Buddha with long life, one naturally has to discard even more."

Wan Wan: "@Li Shimin, I wonder how His Majesty Li Er sees this?"

Li Shimin: "It makes a lot of sense. At the very least, as far as I'm concerned, if one's sense of morality is too strong, there's no way to be a good emperor. If you ask me, you must be asking about the Xuanwu Gate Incident. What I want to say is, even if I had to choose again, I would still do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "【Appreciation】 As an emperor, one must be decisive. Dare to act, dare to take responsibility. That is what's good. As for the moral sense of ordinary people, such things are too useless for an emperor. If you have morality, you are easily kidnapped by it; if you have a conscience, you are easily exploited. Emperors have been lonely men since ancient times; what is needed is coldness and rationality."

Ying Zheng: "Well said. Compassion does not command troops; kindness does not govern. In short, to achieve great things, many things must be discarded. The leader of a sect must certainly discard many things, just as Jin Chan said. Like ordinary people, when they see demons causing trouble, they want to kill them. But he uses these demons to gild Tang Seng and increase the sect's reputation. If one's moral sense is too strong, one cannot do such things."

Wang Chao: "If there were no demons, ghosts, or disasters, how would the gods and Buddhas get incense!"

Fa Hai: "I am confused. Is this Buddha not worth cultivating?"
