Chapter 482

Among them, Yuanshi Tianzun was the most urgent Saint.

After all, Saint Tongtian, his own third brother, was his defeated opponent in the previous Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity; now, just because his opportunities were better than his, Yuanshi Tianzun’s, he had obtained enviable opportunities in Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop.

Now he had become the number one person among the Saints in the current Primordial World, excluding Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

So Yuanshi Tianzun, a Saint who valued face extremely, had wanted countless times to improve his cultivation, hoping to defeat his third brother, Saint Tongtian, again.

Of course, these matters were temporarily unrelated to Sun Wukong and his group of four, so Sun Wukong and the others had never cared about the Journey to the West Great Calamity.

Even though the four of them were the protagonists of this Journey to the West Great Calamity, in their hearts, because of Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop,

they detested the Westward Journey.

Tianpeng stood out at this moment and immediately asked, "Since Senior Ksitigarbha is not preparing to compete for this mission, I wonder what your purpose is in coming here this time?"

Sun Wukong looked at Ksitigarbha, who had denied it, and felt very puzzled.

Originally, Sun Wukong thought that Ksitigarbha coming to Mount Huaguo this time was to compete for one of the three spots for this mission.

But now, looking at Ksitigarbha’s appearance, Sun Wukong was clear about one thing: that Ksitigarbha’s purpose in coming to Mount Huaguo was not this.

However, Sun Wukong had a vague feeling that although Ksitigarbha was not here for one of the three spots in the Liaozhai world, his coming to Mount Huaguo this time was definitely related to the Liaozhai world, and it was highly probable that he came for that special mission.

So at this moment, Sun Wukong directly asked Ksitigarbha, "Senior Ksitigarbha, I wonder if your purpose in coming here this time is for the special mission in the Liaozhai world?"

"Haha."

Ksitigarbha looked at Sun Wukong, a rare smile appearing on his face.

Ksitigarbha was naturally very clear about Sun Wukong’s comprehension, but in this matter, he didn't expect Sun Wukong to still be so quick to understand.

Therefore, for this junior, Sun Wukong, whom he had guided and even regarded as half a disciple, Ksitigarbha liked such a clever person from the bottom of his heart.

"Wukong, you are right. My purpose in coming here this time is indeed for the special mission in the Liaozhai world."

"I have said that now, because of some matters in the Primordial World, I am unable to free myself to go to the Liaozhai world to investigate this special mission."

"So this time, I have come to entrust Wukong, Jin Chanzi, and your group of four, in case any of you can go to the Liaozhai world."

"I hope you can inform me of everything that happens in the Liaozhai world; after all, this is a world involving a special mission, so I want to have a full understanding of it."

"So that I can learn from this special mission in other worlds later and gain the upper hand."

Ksitigarbha stated his intention directly.

After all, for Sun Wukong and his group of four, Ksitigarbha did not treat them as outsiders, so he did not beat around the bush on this matter, but instead spoke straight to the point.

Sun Wukong and his group of four also understood Ksitigarbha’s purpose in coming to Mount Huaguo at this moment.

Regarding this, Sun Wukong and his group of four did not delay and all agreed.

"Senior Ksitigarbha, rest assured. If one of us goes on the mission to the Liaozhai world, we will definitely fulfill your instructions well."

"Alright, as a senior, I won't take advantage of you."

After saying this, Ksitigarbha gave Sun Wukong, Tianpeng, and the group of four 3,000 contribution points each.

"Whether this matter succeeds or not, you all have merit; these are the rewards I give you."

"If any of you can bring me key information, I have even better rewards for you."

Sun Wukong and his group of four had received 3,000 contribution points each without doing anything yet, so they were naturally very happy.

Coupled with Ksitigarbha’s subsequent words, Sun Wukong and his group of four were already determined to get the Liaozhai world mission.

Now, with Ksitigarbha’s reward, their morale was greatly boosted.

At this moment, in the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun was originally in deep meditation when he suddenly heard that there was a change in Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop.

He suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed.

So he directly separated a strand of divine sense and entered the chat group through this strand.

But after a moment, Taishang Laojun learned of the news Wu Feng had released about the Liaozhai world.

On Taishang Laojun’s face, which was usually indifferent and saw everything as light as the wind, there was now a bit more longing when he heard the news about the Liaozhai world, especially regarding the special mission.

Since learning of the existence of the Grocery Shop and witnessing and participating in the missions released by Wu Feng, and obtaining many benefits,

Taishang Laojun was also very eager for the missions released by Wu Feng’s Grocery Shop.

It was just that the missions Taishang Laojun had participated in before were those where the strength level was very high and could provide a large number of exchange points to the participating cultivators.

Now, this Liaozhai world was different from the missions Taishang Laojun had taken before; first of all, the Liaozhai world’s strength level was far too weak, so Taishang Laojun had no desire to participate.

Coupled with the fact that this was the critical moment for laying out the Journey to the West Great Calamity, although Taishang Laojun was slightly interested in the special mission in the Liaozhai world, he did not intend to compete for this mission.

After all, in Taishang Laojun’s eyes, his view of the Liaozhai world was the same as Ksitigarbha and the others.

Even the reasons Taishang Laojun gave in his heart were the same as Ksitigarbha and Yuanshi Tianzun: he intended to use the opportunity of this Journey to the West Great Calamity to take his cultivation a step further.

It was just that Taishang Laojun was different from his second brother, Yuanshi Tianzun.

Taishang Laojun sought breakthroughs only to follow in the footsteps of his teacher, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, to witness and comprehend the Great Dao, not to compete with anyone.

But like Ksitigarbha, Taishang Laojun did not want to give up on this special mission in the Liaozhai world.

So he naturally made corresponding arrangements, just not as well as Ksitigarbha, who could rely on Sun Wukong and his group.
