Chapter 3420

"Tell me, are you also planning to join the journey to the West?"

Tang Sanzang looked at Wu Feng with his clear black-and-white eyes and spoke indifferently.

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Yes. In my view, this journey to the West will inevitably be fraught with difficulties. I still possess some strength and can offer the Great Master some protection."

"There is no need to say these things; they are meaningless."

Tang Sanzang descended from his Black Lotus throne, walked up to Wu Feng, looked at him with those eyes, and said, "So, do you wish to take me as your master?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng was slightly surprised. He knew that if he wanted to join the journey to the West and absorb opportunities, he truly needed to become Tang Sanzang's disciple.

However, if he were to become someone's disciple, Wu Feng would effectively be joining the Western Fomen, which made him somewhat hesitant.

One must know that during the Investiture of the Gods, the devious methods of the Western Fomen were formidable, and they even ended up entrapping the three sects.

Wu Feng estimated that it was precisely because the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth could not be easily overcome, coupled with the dissatisfaction of the remaining two sects, that the second Investiture of the Gods was triggered.

And as the core of this second Investiture of the Gods, this journey to the West was unfathomable.

"What are you thinking about? Do you not wish to take me as your master?"

Tang Sanzang looked at Wu Feng, his expression remaining as calm as an ancient well, and spoke.

Wu Feng could feel that at this very moment, the aura Tang Sanzang projected toward him was constantly rising.

"Very well, I will take you as my master. Then, which disciple number would I be?"

Wu Feng asked tentatively.

Tang Sanzang replied without hesitation, "You are naturally my fourth disciple."

"Do you already have three disciples now?"

Wu Feng knew that the journey to the West had not yet begun, and Sun Wukong and the others had not even met Tang Sanzang yet.

Clearly, he was the first one; how did he suddenly become the fourth?

Wu Feng was very puzzled.

But Tang Sanzang said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Wu Feng, you are naturally the fourth. You should understand the mystery within this."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng felt a slight shock in his heart. He knew that Tang Sanzang's mastery of Buddhist Dharma was profound and that he must have already seen the future some time ahead.

Thus, Wu Feng cupped his hands toward Tang Sanzang and said, "Master, then I shall be your fourth disciple."
