Chapter 286: Xuanzang is already a Great Luo, what will you do, Tathagata?

The Nine Heavens.

Xuanzang's consciousness returned from the Chat Group; opposite him, Yang Jian was already cold as frost, his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear ready to strike, his black robes shimmering with silver light, which in the next second transformed into a suit of chilling Silver Armor.

"Xuanzang, let me see just how high your magic power truly is."

Yang Jian swung his spear, the speed so fast it left a streak of silver light in the Void!

In that instant, even time began to grow sluggish.

"Great Might Heavenly Dragon Fist!"

Xuanzang swung his arms, the rolling fist intent like a sea of stars, layer upon layer, as if evolving the entire vast universe.

The Heavenly Dragon soared, its roar shaking the Nine Heavens!

But Yang Jian's expression remained composed; he swung the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, shattering the Heavenly Dragon with the force of a mountain-cleaving strike.

The surging magic power was endless, with visions filling the sky!

However, this was within Xuanzang's expectations; if he could take down Yang Jian merely by relying on the Great Might Heavenly Dragon, then this War God of the Heavenly Court would truly be a fraud.

"Master, go for it!"

"Beat him up!"

At this moment, Bajie, Wukong, Heixiong, and Xiaobailong, who had already changed into black suits, flew out.

They stood in a line in the Nine Heavens, wearing sunglasses, looking cold and indifferent, as if they cared for no one.

"?" Yang Jian!

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie?

What kind of look is this?

For a moment, Yang Jian actually thought it wasn't bad.

That was until he heard the trash talk from Sun Wukong, Bajie, and Heixiong.

Yang Jian's face turned cold as frost!

"Haa!"

Yang Jian lunged with his spear, his Eight-Nine Profound Art protecting his body, immune to all techniques, invincible.

"Mediation of Creation!"

Xuanzang pressed his palms together, and a golden hand from the phantom of the Buddha behind him pressed down!

That golden hand seemed like the palm-world of Buddhism, yet also like a Sleeve Universe!

This Mediation of Creation evolved the power of worlds, pressing down on Yang Jian layer upon layer!

To an outsider, this might look like a simple palm seal!

But those who truly understood the Mediation of Creation would grasp its essence; this was no mere palm seal, but clearly layer upon layer of worlds being smashed toward Yang Jian!

Mediation of Creation turns decay into magic and creates all things; this naturally includes worlds.

Yang Jian swung his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear incessantly, every strike possessing the power to tear through worlds!

But Xuanzang's technique was too profound, and he was throwing them out as if they cost nothing!

Even with Yang Jian's invincible bravery, he could not withstand so many worlds crashing down on him.

He was trapped within the palm seal of the Mediation of Creation, just as the monkey had been in the cage of Five Fingers Mountain back then.

"Heavenly Dipper Divine Ability, Mediation of Creation? How could you possibly know it?"

Yang Jian was restrained in Xuanzang's palm, his expression grim; he had lost all face.

"Is Mediation of Creation difficult? If you want to learn, I can teach you," Xuanzang said calmly.

When it came down to it, Yang Jian was currently only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm and had not yet stepped into the Great Luo Realm.

With Yang Jian's talent, he could have advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm long ago.

Although Taiyi Golden Immortal and Great Luo Golden Immortal are in the same realm, their Dao Fruits are different, and their strength is naturally different as well.

As the first disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect, Yang Jian was the most hopeful to enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Moreover, practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art was also to pave the way for the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

In a sense, Yang Jian's path was the same as Xuanzang's.

Both were thinking of bypassing the Taiyi stage at the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm to advance directly to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But the difficulty of this was too great; from ancient times to the present, aside from those who advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal through Faith, Merit, and Incense, those who stepped into it through sheer force were few and far between.

Yang Jian did not know that Xuanzang, this cheater, was already a Half-step Daluo in such a short time.

He was one level higher than him, plus the bonus from the Nameless Scroll technique gifted by Houtu!

Although Xuanzang was a Half-step Daluo, he possessed the strength to deal with an ordinary Great Luo!

No matter how heaven-defying Yang Jian was, it was impossible for him to defeat a Great Luo while in the Golden Immortal realm.

"Don't think this can trap me!"

"Heavenly Eye, open!"

The third Heavenly Eye in the center of Yang Jian's brow opened abruptly; this divine eye had a mysterious origin and possessed incredible power, having helped him turn misfortune into fortune many times.

Inside the divine eye, one seemed to see the boundless Chaos and the illusion and destruction of infinite suns, moons, and stars.

A white divine light shot out from within the Heavenly Eye; this light was grand and sacred, seemingly carrying the power to purify all things, and wherever it passed, it destroyed everything, causing all things to collapse in an instant.

"The Heavenly Eye, is it? Interesting."

Xuanzang secretly withdrew three parts of his power, and the light of the Heavenly Eye pierced through the palm-world of the Mediation of Creation.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Jian used the Five Elements Evasion to escape directly.

It was at this moment that Yang Chan flew over holding the Lotus Lantern, blocking the space between the two, and said:

"Second Brother, Xuanzang, stop fighting!"

Seeing the Lotus Lantern, Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this younger sister was using the Lotus Lantern to deal with her own brother!

After this round of probing and exchanging blows, Yang Jian's view of Xuanzang changed.

He also knew that Xuanzang had held back just now, allowing him to use his Heavenly Eye to escape.

If they had truly kept fighting, he might have really lost.

Yang Chan happened to arrive, which gave him a way to step down, and only then did he say:

"Xuanzang, you are very impressive, I admire you, I admire you."

"You are too kind, Erlang True Monarch also possesses profound magic power," Xuanzang said.

They had no hatred between them, and there was no need to slap the other's face hard just for a moment of satisfaction.

Furthermore, with Yang Chan caught in the middle, Xuanzang naturally exercised restraint when attacking.

"Hehehe, Yang Jian, five hundred years have passed. It seems your strength has improved quite a bit."

Sun Wukong flew down from his Somersault Cloud, wearing a black suit and looking full of spirit; he was just a bit thin, otherwise he would have looked even more roguish.

"Sun Wukong." Yang Jian's expression changed slightly.

"Master, well done." Bajie flew down and gave a thumbs up.

Heixiong and Xiaobailong did not speak, but both were burly fellows; standing there in black suits and sunglasses, their deterrent power was truly not to be underestimated.

Yang Jian looked at Xuanzang and his disciples; were these really monks?

There was one more point that Yang Jian could not fathom.

Five hundred years ago, during the Flat Peach banquet, he had once discussed the Tao with Jinchanzi.

At that time, Jinchanzi's magic power was profound, but no matter how impressive, Yang Jian believed he could still handle him.

He never expected that now, before even reaching the Western Heaven, Xuanzang was already comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he could no longer defeat him.

If another ten years passed, at Xuanzang's rate of development, who in the Great Thunder Sound Temple would dare not give Xuanzang the true scriptures?

I am afraid even the position of Buddha would have to change hands!

At this moment, Yang Jian did not have so much prejudice against Xuanzang anymore.

Most of his prejudice came from his younger sister, Yang Chan, for fear she would be led astray by Xuanzang!

Xuanzang was a member of Buddhism and could not act as he pleased; if he were to have a relationship with Yang Chan, who would protect her?

Xuanzang's strength was now formidable, much fiercer than his own, so he felt quite a bit more at ease.

It was just that he didn't know if Xuanzang would dare to beat up the Buddha for Yang Chan's sake?

As Yang Jian thought this, that scene would surely be quite wonderful.

"Master."

Xiaotian Dog flew over limping, bruised and swollen, with the word "grievance" written all over his face.

Buddhism, Lingshan, Great Thunder Sound Temple.

Through a mysterious light, many Buddhas watched the scene of Xuanzang battling Yang Jian.

This was clearly outside the Journey to the West and not in the Script.

They had originally thought it was the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court intentionally making things difficult for their Buddhism, but the result of the battle left them stunned.

Would you believe it, Jinchanzi, who had only been reincarnated for eighteen years, actually defeated the Heavenly Court's War God, Yang Jian?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that in the final move, Xuanzang deliberately went easy to let Yang Jian out.

Otherwise, losing face would indeed be unsightly.

Buddhism does things by seeking mutual benefit, giving and taking; it is kind!

On this point, Xuanzang is very capable.

"Tathagata Buddha, Xuanzang's magic power is already comparable to a Great Luo, what do you think?" Maitreya Buddha asked with a chuckle.
