Chapter 206

Rewind!

Another invisible force struck in, and the originally dying flower, as if played in reverse, restored itself to its original state, no different from before.

Can it still rewind? Bai Hua Xian Zi was utterly shocked—this is too powerful!

Wouldn't tending flowers from now on be much easier for her? Bai Hua Xian Zi's heart fluttered awake.

Moreover... Bai Hua's eyes held deep shock; this divine ability is certainly not that simple!

The inheritance in her memory told her that once this divine ability is mastered to the utmost, it can be applied elsewhere!

Time Law is the core power of this divine ability.

Law!

This is something only a Great Luo Golden Immortal-level great being could possibly comprehend! Yet now, a Golden Immortal like her has awakened it!

And it's the rarest of time laws! This is too heaven-defying!

What kind of person is Shopkeeper Chen really?

Bai Hua Xian Zi feels her worldview is about to be overturned.

When did divine abilities, especially those containing laws, become so easy to awaken?

This feeling is like playing around, as if dreaming!

At this moment, Bai Hua Xian Zi's reverence for Chen Nuo suddenly rose to an unattainable level, and she also suddenly found a goal for her cultivation path.

Previously, she thought it unnecessary, since even if she cultivated desperately, her strength wouldn't substantially improve.

After all, the Lady only taught her the most basic techniques, which could hardly serve as trump cards.

But now, if she can fully master this divine ability, she can grasp the Time Law—truly immensely powerful!

Shopkeeper Chen is truly profound and unfathomable!

Meanwhile, within the Purple Heaven Palace above Chaos.

The Tathagata sat cross-legged, restraining his radiant light, unlike his usual grandeur outside; opposite him sat two high-seated monks on lotus platforms: Jieyin and Zhunti.

Though his appearance is unremarkable, his ancient and simple aura could still make people breathless.

At this moment, the Tathagata felt this way, silently circulating Buddha power to resist, and his heart couldn't help but startle.

He had thought he was already at the late stage of Prepared Saint, with only a step away from perfection's realm, and even if facing a Holy Person, he could hold his own for a moment or two; now it seems he was too presumptuous.

He also knew this was the two saints testing him—after all, so long has passed, the Journey to the West's great endeavor has lost troops and suffered losses, not to mention made no progress.

"Tathagata, what brings you here today?" The hall had been quiet for a long time, until Zhunti's voice finally sounded, and the oppressive aura dissipated with it.

The Tathagata let out a breath, gathered his thoughts, and said: "Reporting to the Holy Person, the monkey did not cause havoc at the Peach Banquet, but instead became the Heavenly Peach Banquet Host's imperial chef."

Zhunti coldly glanced at the Tathagata: "This matter, the almsgiving monk already knows."

The Holy Corpse Bodhi Old Ancestor he left in the Three Realms is not mere decoration; his earlier treatment of the Tathagata was also due to this reason.

Such passive appeasement must be met with a stern rebuke.

If the Tathagata knew what Zhunti truly thought, he would surely weep—though he accepts blame for poor execution, this passivity...

would have him driven to distraction, not only having to scheme daily but also deal with a mess of troubles, now even lacking normal cultivation time.

The Tathagata had no surprise at Zhunti's words; he was merely making a routine report.

Holding the Buddha seal, the Tathagata's Buddha tone murmured: "However, my Buddhist Sect already has a countermeasure. Since the monkey has become a chef, I will cater to his preference."

"Host a Buddhist Dharma Feast, invite the monkey to serve as our banquet's chef; once he takes the bait, I will find a pretext to suppress him, enter Ling Mountain, seat myself among the Buddhas,

even if the monkey possesses immense power, he cannot fly with wings clipped!"

In the Tathagata's eyes gleamed ruthlessness; so far, every plot concerning this monkey has basically failed.

Yet Sun Wukong remains a major key in the Journey to the West Great Calamity—he cannot be ignored; when this opportunity comes, he will surely make this monkey truly atone.

He has already planned the move for that day: Under Buddha's Palm Kingdom, one strike to suppress!

What he wants is this swift and decisive victory, to showcase his own power and that of Ling Mountain's Buddhist Sect.

Buddhist Dharma Feast?

Zhunti pondered, then nodded slightly: "Good."

Catering to his preference is indeed a good idea; since the monkey is elusive, let us lure him to take the bait willingly.

"Are you confident?" Zhunti's attendant, Jieyin, with a bitter expression, also spoke.

The Tathagata nodded and returned the salute: "The almsgiving monk has already negotiated with the Jade Emperor; he likewise will not intervene."

Speaking of this, the Tathagata felt some pain—he had been pitted by the Divine Sky Pit, losing three treasures just to get by.

"Furthermore, the almsgiving monk has ordered Maitreya to inform the monkey of this matter; the monkey has already agreed."

Maitreya? Jieyin murmured in his heart; for this disciple, he still holds high hopes.

Maitreya's talent is excellent, even surpassing the Tathagata in some ways, but when it comes to scheming and calculation, he is still too inexperienced.

With such nature, Maitreya is not yet capable of handling major Buddhist affairs—this is also why he and his junior disciple agreed to let the Tathagata become the current Buddhist Sect Leader, while Maitreya becomes the Future Buddha.

"Then it's settled." Zhunti responded; after so long, finally there's good news.

If this continues, he might begin to doubt whether the teacher's talk of Buddhist Sect Great Prosperity is just deception?

"However." The Tathagata hesitated, but still spoke: "The person behind the monkey is truly mysterious, never showing himself."

"The almsgiving monk fears mishaps, so today he comes to seek guidance from the two Holy Persons."

The Tathagata spoke truly: regarding the mysterious person who took Sun Wukong ten years ago, he has never been able to gauge their depth.

But from seeing Sun Wukong utterly crush the Six-Eared Macaque, one can tell—this person is absolutely not simple!

If it were before, he might have trusted his own strength, but after so many failed schemes, his heart's wariness of this behind-the-scenes figure has risen to an extreme level, making him doubt whether he is even a match.

"Mysterious?" Zhunti let out a cold snort: "Just a jumping beam clown."

"If not for the Purple Heaven Palace blocking too many heavenly secrets, and the teacher not allowing them to leave, he and his senior brother would have long descended to the Lower Realm to drag out this troublemaker behind the scenes."

Zhunti was dismissive: "Between Heaven and Earth, no matter how strong, none can surpass a Holy Person."

The Tathagata's mouth corner twitched imperceptibly, he felt somewhat speechless inside—who in this world between heaven and earth doesn't know saints are the most powerful? But the problem now is, no matter how powerful, it's useless!

The Dao Ancestor doesn't speak, and he can't come out either!

When the time comes at the Dharma feast, if he truly intends to suppress the monkey, and this behind-the-scenes person jumps out to cause chaos at Ling Mountain, the Tathagata dares not even imagine the consequences.

You must know, in order to successfully suppress the monkey at this Dharma feast and maximize the enhancement of Ling Mountain's prestige to achieve the goal of shocking the heavens, he has indeed ordered Guanyin to send out invitation functions to all the gods of the Three Realms.

If, when the time comes, he fails to defeat him and instead lets that behind-the-scenes person run amok and leave, the Buddhist Sect's prestige, weakened over these years due to losses, will plunge even deeper into the abyss!

The Journey to the West Great Calamity, the Buddhist Sect's eastern crossing and great prosperity—this is likely to become the laughingstock of all the immortals in the entire Three Realms.
