Chapter 478: Buddha, what is your take on this?

Lingshan, Great Leiyin Temple.

"Rulai, who taught this monkey this cultivation technique?"

Randeng Buddha could barely keep his composure; watching Sun Wukong display such divine might, his withered face, usually filled with Buddha Light, was now tinged with faint streaks of dark light.

It was agreed upon that he had the Seventy-Two Transformations, so how did such a formidable technique appear?

At Randeng Buddha's level of cultivation, one glance was enough to see the extraordinary nature of Sun Wukong's technique.

Moreover, through deduction, he could feel the terror of the God Elephant Prison Suppressing technique all the more.

This technique was far stronger than the Seventy-Two Transformations, with infinite potential.

"..." Rulai.

"Buddha, what is your take on this?" Maitreya Buddha asked, reclining on a lotus throne; unlike Randeng, his face was full of smiles.

"Such a variable is something I did not anticipate," Tathagata Buddha said, his expression calm.

"In my view, this matter must have a connection to Jinchanzi," Randeng Buddha said.

"Randeng Buddha, does that even need thinking? It must be related to Xuanzang. Otherwise, where would Sun Houzi have learned such powerful divine abilities, capable of shocking the heavens and making ghosts and gods weep?" Maitreya Buddha said.

"No matter. After all, Baigu Furen is the manifestation of a demon god from the ancient era, even if she retains less than one-tenth of her strength. Dealing with Sun Wukong should not be a major problem," Tathagata Buddha continued.

In Baigu Furen's peak era, even Saints would have to give her three parts of respect.

Among the Chaos demon gods, which one was not a figure with eyes and hands reaching the heavens?

It was precisely because of this background that Buddhism had not taken action to convert Baigu Furen.

Don't look at how Buddhism loves to convert people—they even dared to convert descendants of Yuanfeng like the Golden-Winged Peng—but some existences simply cannot be converted.

Whether this Baigu Moshen had truly fallen or not, no one knew for sure.

Baigu Furen was merely one of her thoughts; it was not worth offending a potential demon god for the sake of a single thought.

"Rulai, but don't forget. Bound by the Heavenly Dao, Baigu Furen is only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, while Xuanzang is a Great Luo Golden Immortal," Maitreya Buddha said.

"Although Baigu Furen is a Golden Immortal, her strength and methods are such that even ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals must be wary," Tathagata Buddha said.

"But Xuanzang is not an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal, is he? Have you forgotten Zhenyuanzi?" Maitreya Buddha continued.

"..." Tathagata Buddha.

Most Great Luo Golden Immortals of this current era cannot compare to those of the ancient era.

Those who truly reached the Great Luo stage from Qi Refining are few and far between; most rely on Merit, incense, and the path of Faith, so their combat power is naturally greatly discounted, making it hard to manifest true Great Luo divine abilities.

"No matter. When necessary, I will intervene."

Rulai said calmly, though his eyes became uncharacteristically sharp for an instant; yet it was only for an instant, and he quickly returned to being the Buddha with a head full of bumps and large ears.

"Why hasn't Guanyin come to Lingshan recently?" Rulai said, changing the subject.

"Since the end of the last tribulation, Guanyin has been cultivating in seclusion in the South Sea, Buddha," Maitreya Buddha smiled, his smile revealing a hint of lewdness.

"Is that so?" Tathagata Buddha said nothing more.

As for what happened inside the Taishang Universe Map, although Guanyin did not say, everyone could basically guess a thing or two.

What can affect a Bodhisattva's Dao heart is nothing more than the seven emotions and six desires.

It is said that gods and Buddhas are Taishang, forgetting emotions, and are without feelings or desires.

But how many have truly achieved that? In such a state, what difference is there from a dead person?

Everything relies on the word 'balance', stabilized within a reasonable range.

The so-called seven emotions and six desires are just that.

"However, is there a possibility, Rulai, that this technique was secretly passed down by the Jie Sect?"

Randeng said suddenly; hearing this, Rulai's expression sank, and Maitreya stopped talking as well.

Baigu Yaoguo.

"Baigujing, take a blow from my old Sun!"

Eighty million particles vibrated throughout Sun Wukong's body, the roar of dragons and elephants echoing incessantly, shaking the heavens and earth.

Each particle trembled, as if countless divine elephants were galloping and trampling in a frenzy!

Sun Wukong's strength reached its peak in an instant, perhaps even surpassing it.

This strike was hearty and unrestrained!

Enveloped by this overwhelming momentum, Baigu Furen's expression turned grim, and she hurriedly cast a defensive barrier.

Boom!

The Golden Cudgel slammed fiercely against Baigu Furen's three-foot defensive barrier; terrifying energy clashed continuously, emitting Thunder and electric light, the Void twisted, sand and stones flew all around, the earth shook and mountains swayed, and the entire Baigu Yaoguo was filled with the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, as if it were the end of the world.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, tiny cracks appeared on the three-foot defensive barrier, then rapidly spread like a spiderweb, expanding in all directions.

Seeing this, Baigu Furen took advantage of the moment the barrier shattered to cast a secret Teleportation technique.

Boom!

The Imperial Palace of Baigu Yaoguo was reduced to ruins by Sun Wukong's strike; Baigu Furen stood atop the ruins, her gaze furious, that predatory look wishing she could devour Sun Wukong, and she raged:

"Stinking monkey, you destroyed my demon kingdom; this hatred is irreconcilable!"

"Hehe, Baigujing. What are you shouting about? Do you think my old Sun is afraid of you?" Sun Wukong said.

"You..." Baigu Furen was furious, feeling as if she had punched cotton, with nowhere to vent.

Sun Wukong was truly not afraid of her!

"I may not be able to beat you for now, but can I not take down that Tang Sanzang?" Baigujing's pupils released demonic light, and she spotted the location of Xuanzang at a glance.

Since Sun Wukong had come, Tang Sanzang must be nearby.

As long as she ate Tang Sanzang, devoured the remaining Chaos Origin of Jinchanzi, broke the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and advanced to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, then destroying Sun Wukong would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

With her cultivation, she could have long since advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but she was locked by the Heavenly Dao, cutting off all hope of advancement.

Because the existence of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level is a variable that is difficult to control, the fewer, the better.

A perfect world does not need so many variables.

"Look at my magic treasure!"

Baigu Furen threw the Bone Soul-Summoning Banner toward Sun Wukong, and this bone banner instantly transformed into an array covering a radius of ten miles, enveloping Sun Wukong.

"Sun Wukong, this is the Bone Spirit-Devouring Array; just stay inside and enjoy yourself!"

"Wait until I go eat your master, then I will come back and destroy you, you dead monkey."

After speaking, Baigu Furen flew toward Xuanzang without looking back.

"???" Sun Wukong.

Going to find trouble with Master?

There is a path to heaven you refuse to take, and a gate to hell you insist on crashing through?

Sun Wukong spread his hands and sat down on the ground, not preparing to break the array at all.

The departing Baigu Furen was somewhat puzzled.

With Sun Wukong's cultivation, this Bone Spirit-Devouring Array should not be able to trap him for long; why is there no movement from the array at all?

Is the Bone Spirit-Devouring Array really that powerful?

At the same time, ten miles away, Xuanzang sat on a chair, holding a watermelon in his hand, eating it unhurriedly.

Heixiong, Bajie, Shaseng, and Xiaobailong each also had a watermelon in hand, along with some Happy Water.

Bajie gnawed on the watermelon fiercely, eating with great gusto!

"Speaking of which, Master, Houzi Brother is fighting, is it appropriate for us to be eating melons? Besides, I have a bad premonition."

Bajie said, demonstrating how to eat a whole melon in one bite for Xiaobailong.

"Ding, triggered a Daily Good Deed Task,..."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System rang in Xuanzang's ears.
