Chapter 284: Journey to the West World

"Could this place actually be the Journey to the West World?!"

Lu Yun's divine sense wandered through the world where Jiang Ye resided, becoming increasingly certain that this was indeed the familiar Journey to the West World. The layout of the Four Great Continents and the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth reminded him of many memories regarding Journey to the West.

"That guy Jiang Ye never told us about this before!"

Lu Yun couldn't help but enter the Transmigration Chat Group, only to find that the group was strangely quiet now.

The reason, naturally, was that everyone had gone to the Great Desolation and could communicate face-to-face in Future City, so the frequency of group chats naturally decreased.

Only when someone was anxious because they couldn't find a certain person would they @ them in the group.

Lu Yun: "@Jiang Ye, why didn't you say that the world you are in is the Journey to the West World?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously silent group exploded.

Ling Yan: "What? There's such a thing?"

Liu Chongxiao: "Jiang Ye, you never told us about this before!"

Jiang Ye: "Ah, this... can I say that I actually didn't know either?"

Yun Yao: "No way, you actually didn't know?!"

Inside Future City.

Under the gazes of the surrounding group members, Jiang Ye appeared somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Really, I swear! I always thought my world was just an ordinary cultivation world. Although there were some strange legends, I never thought about it in terms of Journey to the West. After all, I've never seen any of those great figures with Supernatural Power from Journey to the West."

After his explanation, everyone realized that he had always stayed in a remote corner of the world. Because his strength was limited, he couldn't explore much of the outside situation, which was why he had never linked his world to the Journey to the West World.

Hearing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

Lu Yun: "Haha, it seems you really were 'deceived' by your own world."

Ming Xi: "But then again, being able to enter the Journey to the West World is a rare experience. Perhaps we might even meet Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, and the others in this world in the future."

Fang Xu: "Well said. Now that the world passage is open, once we've had enough fun in the Great Desolation, we can totally go to the Journey to the West World!"

Lei Hong: "That's right! If it really is the Journey to the West World, wouldn't we have the chance to witness those legendary stories unfold with our own eyes? Just thinking about it is exciting!"

Yun Yao: "Exactly, and with the big boss Lu Yun here, maybe we can even participate in those stories!"

Others in the group also expressed their agreement. For a time, the Transmigration Chat Group was filled with longing and anticipation for the future.

Seeing such a scene, Lu Yun couldn't help but shake his head.

Lu Yun: "Everyone, don't get too happy too soon. I don't even know how far the timeline of this world has progressed yet. It's possible that the Journey to the West has already passed!"

You Fang: "No way! I still wanted to fight side-by-side with the Great Sage!"

Fang Wenjie: "If the Journey to the West has really already passed, that would be such a pity!"

Jiang Ye: "Damn! If that's the case, I'm the one who should be truly heartbroken, right? I only just found out now that it's the Journey to the West World!"

Xiao Ling'er: "@Lu Yun, big boss, hurry up and go investigate to confirm it!"

Zhou Yu: "That's right, that's right, big boss, hurry up and go!"

Qiu Wanli: "@Lu Yun, investigating is fine, but be careful above all else!"

Lin Chen: "Old Qiu is right. There are too many versions of the Journey to the West World. If it happens to be some high-level version, your Great Luo Golden Immortal level avatar might not be able to withstand the top powerhouses of that world!"

Qin Ling: "What are you afraid of! Even if the big boss Lu Yun's avatar can't hold up, he can send out his true self!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Hiss! Big boss Qin is ruthless! This is like seeing big boss Lu Yun about to conquer the Great Desolation and wanting him to conquer the Journey to the West World as well!"

Qin Ling: "That's not it. What I want to see more is, if the same person exists in different worlds, what would happen if they encountered each other?"

Lu Yun: "Everyone, rest assured, I will investigate the timeline of this world as soon as possible. However, as several big bosses have said, the Journey to the West World may be far more complex than we imagine. I will act with caution."

After closing the chat group, he began to investigate carefully again. And the direction he was investigating this time was very clear: it was the East Victory Divine Continent.

It is very simple to determine the timeline of this world; one only needs to see what the current situation of Sun Wukong is! Coincidentally, just as his divine sense was investigating the East Victory Divine Continent, he happened to see a Bamboo Raft drifting out from a massive island, and upon it was indeed a monkey covered in golden fur!

Lu Yun's divine sense suddenly tightened, his gaze locked firmly on the monkey with golden fur, and a surge of indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.

This was undoubtedly Sun Wukong!

And judging from his current state, he hadn't even received the name Sun Wukong yet; he had just set sail to sea, preparing to seek Immortals and ask for the Dao. The story of the Journey to the West had not yet officially begun.

"It seems that the timeline of this world is indeed still before the Journey to the West," Lu Yun pondered to himself, while his heart was also filled with anticipation for the various adventures that might happen next.

He did not appear immediately, but kept a certain distance, quietly observing every move of Sun Wukong. He saw the monkey jumping on the Bamboo Raft, sometimes playing with the fish in the sea, sometimes looking into the distance, his eyes flashing with curiosity and longing for the unknown world.

Lu Yun watched him silently, took a picture of this scene, and sent it to the Transmigration Chat Group.

Now, the people in the group were excited one by one again.

The group instantly boiled over, and all kinds of messages poured in like a tide.

Ling Yan: "Damn! Is this really Sun Wukong?!!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Big boss, 666!"

Yun Yao: "Wuwu, I saw the Great Sage! The Great Sage is so cute!"

Jiang Ye: "Is this... is this really my world?! The Great Sage is actually in the world I transmigrated to?!"

Lu Yun: "Authentic and genuine. This should be Sun Wukong without a doubt. Even if other monkeys dared to take a boat to sea, they would probably be buried in the ocean soon. How could they be as steady as him?"

Fang Xu: "That's right, that's right! Only the Great Sage Sun, who possesses great fortune, can cross the East Sea on this small Bamboo Raft!"

Qin Ling: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the timeline to be before he went to sea to seek Immortals. It seems we have a chance to witness the beginning of the Journey to the West story with our own eyes."

Qiu Wanli: "Haha, this is interesting now! Big boss Lu Yun, what do you plan to do? Intervene directly, or wait and see?"

Seeing Qiu Wanli's question, Lu Yun suddenly had a thought: Isn't this another good opportunity to let everyone give me suggestions? However, just as he was about to reply and guide everyone to give him suggestions, he suddenly felt something.

Lu Yun: "Everyone, it looks like I need to solve some trouble first!"

The previously excited people in the chat group were all stunned.

Ming Xi: "What kind of trouble is big boss Lu Yun talking about?"

Liu Chongxiao: "Could it be that you've been targeted by the Heavenly Court or Buddhism of the Journey to the West World!"

Lin Chen: "That's very likely! Sun Wukong was plotted against by the joint efforts of the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. Now that he has gone to sea to seek Immortals, how could Buddhism not send someone to watch him!"

Fang Wenjie: "Is it that exciting? Big boss Lu Yun just arrived there, and he's already about to have a conflict with Buddhism?"

Just as everyone was discussing it, they all suddenly saw a notification pop up in the Chat Group: "Group member Lu Yun has started a live stream!"

The atmosphere inside the Transmigration Chat Group instantly became even more tense and excited. Everyone clicked into the live stream room one after another, wanting to witness with their own eyes what the "trouble" Lu Yun spoke of really was.

Inside the live stream, the scene shifted, and Lu Yun's figure appeared before everyone's eyes. He still maintained that composure, but there was a touch of gravity in his eyes.

"Everyone, as you can see, I am currently above the sea area of the East Victory Divine Continent."

Lu Yun's voice rang out in the live stream, "Just a moment ago, I sensed an obscure yet powerful aura approaching the direction I am in. I suppose my previous investigation into this world, and into Sun Wukong, must have attracted the attention of certain beings!"

"That aura is very ancient and profound; it is clearly not from someone of little consequence," Lu Yun continued. Although his voice was calm, the vigilance contained within it was impossible to ignore, "Moreover, I can feel that it is approaching rapidly, and its target seems to be me."

As Lu Yun's words fell, the atmosphere in the live stream became even more heavy. Everyone flooded the screen with comments reminding Lu Yun to be careful, while holding their breath and staring intently, afraid of missing any detail.

The next moment, they suddenly saw Buddhist light burst forth in the scene, and two monks appeared before Lu Yun, looking him up and down.

One of them spoke directly, saying: "I wonder what sacred being you are, Excellency?"

Facing the two monks who had appeared suddenly, Lu Yun's expression did not show the slightest panic; instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile, and he responded with composure: "I am but a wandering loose cultivator. Passing through this place, I sensed an abnormality in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so I came to investigate. As for you two masters, with your Buddhist light shining and your imposing appearance, may I ask what business you have?"

He had already seen through the strength of these two people; they were surprisingly two Taiyi Golden Immortals, posing absolutely no threat to him.

Hearing this, the two monks looked at each other, a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes, but they immediately returned to calm.

The leading monk pressed his palms together and said in a deep voice: "This poor monk's dharma name is Hui Jue, and this is my junior brother, Hui Ming. Since you are a loose cultivator, you may not know that the East Victory Divine Continent is a place of trouble right now. I hope you will leave quickly and not interfere in matters here at will, so as not to bring disaster upon yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Yun could not help but raise an eyebrow.

The people in the live stream became even more annoyed when they saw this scene.

"This bald donkey is quite overbearing!"

"They are merely two Taiyi Golden Immortals, yet they dare to be so arrogant in front of Boss Lu Yun!"

"Interesting, interesting. It looks like there is a good show to watch!"

"Truly courting death. Boss Lu Yun is not someone that any random nobody can threaten!"

……

Lu Yun still wore that faint smile, but a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice peaceful yet carrying an unquestionable power: "Master Hui Jue, that is where you are wrong. The East Victory Divine Continent is a gift from heaven and earth, a place where all things coexist; it is not the private property of your Buddhism. Where I, Lu, wish to roam is not for you two to dictate, is it?"

Hearing this, the monk Hui Jue frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Lu Yun's attitude, but hindered by the fact that the other party's cultivation was unfathomable, he did not dare to act rashly.

He said in a deep voice: "This poor monk does not know what you intend to do, but a great change is about to occur here. If it is not necessary, it would be best for you to leave as soon as possible."

Lu Yun smiled slightly, his gaze deep, and said: "A great change? I am quite looking forward to it. Master Hui Jue, I wonder if this so-called great change has anything to do with that monkey down below?"

The monk Hui Jue's expression changed slightly; clearly, he had not expected Lu Yun to mention Sun Wukong so directly. For a moment, his gaze toward Lu Yun became suspicious and uncertain, as if he were guessing Lu Yun's identity and background, and analyzing his intentions.

But his junior brother, Hui Ming, could not hold back. He glared at Lu Yun and said: "Since you know, then you should understand even more that our Buddhism's grand plan cannot be interfered with by outsiders! If you insist on meddling, you are an enemy of our Buddhism!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun curled his lips into a meaningful smile, his gaze shifting between Hui Jue and Hui Ming, as if he were considering how to deal with this matter.

In reality, he was asking directly in the live stream.

Lu Yun: "Everyone, what do you think I should do now?"

Qin Ling: "Fight!"

Lei Hong: "Beat the hell out of them!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Give those two bald donkeys a taste of their own medicine!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Isn't it just having Buddhism as their backing? Boss Lu Yun, teach them a lesson!"

Jiang Ye: "I support Boss Lu Yun in cleaning them up!"

……

"Ding! Received suggestion: Teach the evil Buddhist monks a lesson! Reward: Ordinary Treasure Chest x1!"

The system sent such a notification, leaving Lu Yun somewhat speechless.

After all, he did not know how long it had been since he triggered such a low-level task! However, thinking that this matter was indeed just a simple task for him, he felt relieved.

Even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small; naturally, he would not turn down this task.

Thus, just as the two Buddhist followers thought he had been intimidated and wanted to speak again to force him to leave, he suddenly chuckled and said: "Ridiculous, ridiculous! Just because your Buddhism has taken a fancy to this monkey and intends to cultivate him as your pawn, I cannot appear in his vicinity, let alone pay attention to him? And if I insist on doing so, what can you do about it?"

As his words fell, he suddenly revealed his hidden figure, and his body burst forth with Immeasurable Divine Light, instantly illuminating the sky that had already grown dark.

Seeing this, the two Buddhist monks' expressions changed drastically, and then their gazes looked in unison toward the direction of the monkey on the sea.

The next moment, they saw that the monkey's attention had been attracted by the situation here, his face full of surprise: "Why is there such a strange phenomenon over there? Could it be that I went in the wrong direction, and that is actually where the Immortal Elder is?"

Thinking of this, the monkey became excited all of a sudden, actually grabbing two bamboo poles to use as oars, and began to row the Bamboo Raft with all his might toward the direction of Lu Yun and the others!

The expressions of Hui Jue and Hui Ming turned black instantly! (End of chapter)
