Chapter 472

Although the words were a joke, the meaning behind them was not a joke at all.

Seeing Sun Wukong's recently skyrocketing strength, Chen Ziyu could not help but feel sour, her heart filled with envy.

She also wanted to possess this kind of rocket-like speed of strength improvement.

Mo Ganna: "That's right, when will the Great God Luo Fu come to my world again? I also want to be favored by the Great God Luo Fu!"

Ye Hei: "+1!"

Tornado: "+1!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "+1!"

Aizen: "+1!"

Uchiha Madara: "+1!"

Nezha: "+1!"

······

After Mo Ganna, almost all the group members typed "+1".

It was clear that everyone was envious of Sun Wukong's treatment.

"There will be opportunities. Everyone, rest assured, as long as the Myriad Worlds Chat Group exists, I will go to your worlds sooner or later."

Not letting everyone down, Luo Fu gave a direct and affirmative reply.

The current members of the Myriad Worlds Chat Group had a large gap between them and him; for Luo Fu, improving their strength would not take much effort at all.

Following Luo Fu's reply, the chat group became active again.

However, Luo Fu and Sun Wukong did not pay attention to it anymore.

Sun Wukong needed to hurry and break through the eighty-one tribulations.

Luo Fu needed to be vigilant at all times against the two Western Saints taking action.

"Let's go, follow Old Sun, break through the eighty-one tribulations, and kill our way to Lingshan."

After exiting the chat group, Sun Wukong immediately led everyone and killed his way toward Lingshan.

A surging fighting spirit rose from Sun Wukong's body. He took the lead and began to kill his way toward Lingshan along the agreed-upon path of the Journey to the West.

Behind Sun Wukong, Sha Monk carried Tang Seng and also began to accelerate and sprint.

Regarding Sun Wukong's proposal, Zhu Bajie and the Little White Dragon had no objections; the two of them followed behind Tang Seng, one on the left and one on the right.

Although everyone was still concealing things, it was clear they were not concealing much.

Moreover, as long as one was not blind, one could see that Tang Seng and the others definitely had a tacit understanding with Sun Wukong.

The pace of travel, which was already fast, accelerated several times over under Sha Monk's acceleration.

At this moment, the speed at which Sha Monk was running was no different from flying.

The only difference was that Sha Monk's feet were still on the ground.

As long as the feet are on the ground, no matter how fast the speed is, it is considered walking.

The journey from the East Victory Divine Continent to Lingshan was definitely much further than described in the original plot.

But under Sha Monk's accelerated sprinting, it would likely take less than a year or so to reach Lingshan directly.

This speed shortened the original time of the journey to the west by dozens or even hundreds of times.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Fu, when exactly did you tamper with Tang Seng and the others?"

Watching the scripture-seeking team sprinting, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara looked at Luo Fu and asked in a faint voice.

He was not stupid; he just hadn't thought that Luo Fu would tamper with Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon.

Buddhism had set up surveillance personnel around Tang Seng and the others.

Any movement by Tang Seng and the others could be known by the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the two Western Saints.

To prevent Luo Fu from tampering with Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon, the two Western Saints had even dispatched great beings with divine powers to monitor them.

According to the reports from the surveillance personnel, Luo Fu had never appeared near Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, or the Little White Dragon.

Therefore, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the two Western Saints had always thought that Luo Fu had put all his focus on Sun Wukong and had given up on Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon.

But the current bizarre performance of the scripture-seeking team undoubtedly showed that Luo Fu had long since tampered with Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon.

Otherwise, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon could not have been so obedient; when Sun Wukong said to charge, the other four followed along.

The other four, except for Tang Seng, all knew very clearly about the Journey to the West.

The people behind them had also given them instructions under the exhortation of Buddhism, telling them to try their best to hold Sun Wukong back during the journey.

However, the current performance of Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon showed no intention of holding him back at all; instead, they were almost completely obedient to Sun Wukong.

It was as if they were the ones on the same side as Sun Wukong.

Facing such a bizarre change, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara could only think of one possibility: that Luo Fu had long since taken action against Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon, turning them into his own people.

In other words, the scripture-seeking team had all become Luo Fu's subordinates.

"Fellow Daoist, you joke. I have not appeared in the Earth Immortal World all these years, so how could I have tampered with them? Perhaps they were coerced by Wukong, or perhaps they have resentment toward your Buddhism, which is why they listen to Wukong."

Facing the questioning of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, Luo Fu naturally would not admit it.

His actions were all in accordance with the terms of the bet, and even if he admitted it, Buddhism could do nothing to him.

However, Luo Fu enjoyed seeing the frustrated look of Buddhism, knowing clearly that he had tampered with them but being unable to do anything about it.

"Amitabha!"

Seeing that Luo Fu did not admit to secretly tampering with Tang Seng and the others, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara recited a Buddha name and stopped speaking.

On this matter, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara had no evidence and could not accuse Luo Fu of anything.

Even if Luo Fu admitted it, he could only accuse him verbally and could not change anything.

After all, Luo Fu was not the only one who had tampered with Tang Seng and the others; their Buddhism had also tampered with Tang Seng, and they had done so openly and aboveboard.

Tampering with the scripture-seeking team was originally an unspoken rule outside the agreement.

If one could not tamper with the scripture-seeking team, then Luo Fu helping Sun Wukong improve his strength would also be considered a violation.

In that case, there would be no need for the bet to continue.

It was just that the Ancient Buddha Dipankara had never expected that Luo Fu's methods would be so brilliant, turning Tang Seng and the others into his own people without a sound.

Regardless of what the Ancient Buddha Dipankara and the two Western Saints thought, the bet was now a foregone conclusion; all they could do was increase the difficulty of the eighty-one tribulations to stop the scripture-seeking team.

Led by Sun Wukong, the scripture-seeking team had no intention of resting, traveling almost day and night.

Rest is only needed by mortals; in the original plot, the scripture-seeking team needed to rest because Tang Seng was just a mortal.

The current Tang Seng was no longer a mortal; although he had not displayed his strength, anyone could see that Tang Seng must have a cultivation base, and it was very likely he had already become an immortal.

If Tang Seng had no cultivation base, he would likely not be able to withstand the Little White Dragon's sprinting for even a short while.

For practitioners, rest is not necessary, and three meals a day are not required.

Anyone with a slight cultivation base can survive by drinking the wind and dew.

Even if Tang Seng's cultivation base was not enough to achieve long-term fasting.

But the people around him were all Da Luo Golden Immortals.

A mere wisp of immortal power was enough to nourish Tang Seng's body.

In the original plot of the Journey to the West, the reason Tang Seng rested and needed to eat was because these behaviors of theirs were restricted.

Buddhism hoped that they would go to Lingshan to seek the true scriptures in the guise of mortals.

This could better highlight their sincerity and the value of the true scriptures.

To put it bluntly, this was actually a packaging method of Buddhism.

If the true scriptures could be obtained easily, then how much value would Buddhism's true scriptures have?

Only the true scriptures obtained after experiencing thousands of hardships were more worthy of being praised by worldly people.

Buddhism could also be more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The two Western Saints were very experienced in how to package themselves.

Otherwise, with Buddhism's stance of not being picky about food and harboring filth, the reputation of Buddhism would have long since stunk to high heaven.

Instead of being like it is now, where most people look down on Buddhism, yet when they look again, many people still feel that Buddhism is quite good.

This is the result of packaging.

Even when the two Western Saints wanted to snatch people to the West, they would not snatch them directly, but would first say, "You have a predestined relationship with my West."

The speed at which Sun Wukong and the others were traveling was not slow at all; in a single day, they could cover thousands of miles, and traveling day and night, they covered nearly ten thousand miles in less than a few days.
