Chapter 467: Four Saints test the Zen heart! The base two Western Saints!

~7 min read 1,331 words

Compared to the scripture-seeking team in the original plot, the scripture-seeking team replaced by Luo Fu is many times better in both physique and mentality than the original mortal version.

Even if Tang Seng deliberately controlled it, the scripture-seeking team's forward speed was still very fast.

Tang Seng sat on Sha Wujing almost the whole time, running wildly all the way.

However, Luo Fu's methods clearly exceeded the expectations of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara could never have imagined that Luo Fu would actually raise Sun Wukong's strength to the peak of the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm in a solid, tangible way.

Furthermore, judging from the power Sun Wukong displayed, his comprehension of the Great Dao of War was not low, and his physical strength was also quite formidable.

With his comprehension of the Great Dao of War and his strong physical body, Sun Wukong's combat power definitely ranks among the very strongest of the Da Luo Golden Immortals.

At this moment, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara began to realize why Luo Fu had the confidence to break through the eighty-one tribulations and defeat their Buddhism.

With Sun Wukong's current combat power, it would truly not be an easy task for Buddhism to defeat him without resorting to other means.

However, recalling the many arrangements made by the two Sages of the West, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara felt at ease again.

No matter how strong Sun Wukong's combat power is, he is only one person; two fists are no match for four hands.

Judging from the aura on Sun Wukong, he is clearly a brute who only comprehends the Great Dao of War.

Buddhism has plenty of ways to deal with such a brute.

Luo Fu did not respond to the Ancient Buddha Dipankara's praise; in fact, Luo Fu did not even glance at him.

His gaze was entirely fixed upon the Earth Immortal World.

After breaking through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm, Sun Wukong's flight speed was not slow.

Not long after, Sun Wukong appeared before Tang Seng.

"Holy Monk Tang, I, Old Sun, have come by reputation; consider me your third protector."

Sun Wukong did not call Tang Seng 'Master'; in Sun Wukong's view, Tang Seng was not qualified to be his master, and now that there were no Buddhist schemes, he naturally would not call him Master.

Seeing Sun Wukong appear, there was not the slightest surprise on Tang Seng's face; he simply nodded at Sun Wukong and then introduced the others to him.

"This is Zhu Bajie, this is the Little White Dragon, and this is Sha Monk; the five of us will be teammates from now on."

Tang Seng said directly to Sun Wukong.

The others were also not surprised by Sun Wukong's arrival and nodded at him.

Since the scripture-seeking team had already gathered, there was naturally no need for Tang Seng and the others to continue their pretense.

"Why does Tang Seng feel a bit strange today?"

Seeing Tang Seng's reaction, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara could not help but frown; he felt that Tang Seng's reaction today was very strange.

One must know that Tang Seng is currently just a mortal, while Sun Wukong is a demon.

A mortal should not be so calm upon seeing a demon.

When Tang Seng saw Zhu Bajie and the others before, he had been scared out of his wits.

Now that he saw Sun Wukong, not only was he not scared, but he remained calm throughout, as if he knew Sun Wukong would appear.

Seeing this scene, an ominous premonition could not help but rise in the heart of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.

However, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara did not know what was wrong with Tang Seng, so he could only suppress the ominous premonition in his heart.

"The Journey to the West has officially begun; I have yet to ask, what exactly is the first trial arranged by your Buddhism?"

Seeing that the scripture-seeking team had officially gathered, Sun Wukong and the others seemed to be rubbing their hands, ready for a big fight.

Luo Fu could not help but cast his gaze toward the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, wanting to know what the content of the first trial was.

"Amitabha! Please continue to watch, Fellow Daoist Luo Fu; our Buddhism will not let you down."

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara did not answer Luo Fu directly, but instead, a mysterious smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

Clearly, the first trial the scripture-seeking team was about to face was one Buddhism had specifically designed to target Luo Fu.

Seeing that the Ancient Buddha Dipankara did not answer him, Luo Fu turned his gaze toward the front of Sun Wukong and the others.

With this look, Luo Fu directly guessed the intentions of the two Sages of the West.

"Just as I guessed, Buddhism really has a good plan!"

Looking at the strange expression that had not yet faded from the Ancient Buddha Dipankara's face, Luo Fu could not help but complain.

Because the eighth trial had not yet begun, the scripture-seeking team was still some distance away from the Two Worlds Mountain when they all gathered.

There is also a Two Worlds Mountain on the border of the Great Tang, which is different from the Two Worlds Mountain that connects the Netherworld Sea of Blood to different worlds.

The reason the mountain here is called the Two Worlds Mountain is that it happens to be located at the national border.

Although Sun Wukong was not suppressed, the Two Worlds Mountain still exists.

The Two Worlds Mountain now suppresses the Buddha Tathagata.

Since one must treat others as they treat you, one must naturally carry it through to the end.

Tathagata pressed Sun Wukong under the Two Worlds Mountain, so Luo Fu chose to press Tathagata directly under the Two Worlds Mountain.

The Two Worlds Mountain is a path the scripture-seeking team must pass through.

In this way, the first trial arranged by the two Sages of the West becomes self-evident.

The Two Worlds Mountain is not so easy to pass through.

According to the rules between Luo Fu and Buddhism, the scripture-seeking team must travel to the West on foot and cannot fly.

The Two Worlds Mountain towers into the clouds; under normal circumstances, ordinary people simply cannot cross it.

Sun Wukong and the others are not ordinary people, so they are still capable of crossing the Two Worlds Mountain.

That is only under normal circumstances.

Judging from the current situation, Buddhism has indeed made arrangements at the Two Worlds Mountain.

There is only one path to take if one wants to cross the Two Worlds Mountain.

That is to overturn the Five Fingers Mountain that suppresses Tathagata.

As long as this mountain does not exist, there is naturally no need to cross it.

The two Sages of the West are clearly also thinking of treating others as they treat them.

Since Buddhism cannot undo the seal on the Five Fingers Mountain, they will throw the problem to the scripture-seeking team.

If the scripture-seeking team can solve it, that is naturally a good thing.

They could rescue Tathagata without the two Sages of the West having to take action.

If the scripture-seeking team cannot move the Five Fingers Mountain, that is even better.

In this way, Buddhism would directly win this wager.

If they can win the wager, whether Tathagata is released or not is no longer important.

Buddhism's wishful thinking is indeed excellent.

This trial can be called killing two birds with one stone.

However, the two Sages of the West did not expect that Luo Fu had actually long since anticipated that they would make an issue out of the Five Fingers Mountain.

Since he had guessed it, how could Luo Fu not have made preparations?

Walking on foot is too slow, and Tang Seng is still a mortal on the surface, so his walking speed is even slower.
