boom!
The giant palm that covered the sky and the sword finger collided in mid-air, causing a roar that shook the earth and sky. The whole world began to shake. Some geologically fragile places even collapsed, and many volcanoes began to erupt. Various natural disasters broke out in the whole world at the same time, as if it was the end of the world.
The world of Journey to the West is indeed vast, but when faced with a battle between two powerful men whose cultivation levels are close to those of saints, it is still easy to trigger various natural disasters.
The reason why Daozu Hongjun restricted the Six Saints from freely entering and leaving the Three Realms after the Conferred God Tribulation ended, and only left their incarnations to walk around in the Three Realms, was because the Journey to the West world had suffered a severe blow and could no longer withstand the friction and fighting between the saints.
Now, the two quasi-saints at the peak of their powers were fighting mercilessly, and the first to suffer was Peacock Mountain. The Stone Buddha Temple on the mountain was shattered into pieces by the aftermath of the battle between the two as soon as they met.
If the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother had not helped to stabilize Peacock Mountain, Kong Xuan's Taoist temple might have been destroyed.
"My two Taoist friends, please listen to me."
In order to prevent the battle between Sun Wukong and Kong Xuan from causing a greater disaster, the Jade Emperor helped stabilize Peacock Mountain, then quickly used his magical powers to teleport to the two of them, and advised them: "The human world is fragile. If you two Taoist friends really want to compete, you can go to Primal Chaos to compete, and don't hurt innocent people here."
"That's exactly what I want. I, Old Sun, will go first." Cheng Long turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the human world, heading straight for the chaotic space thirty-three days away.
"Little tricks!"
Kong Xuan snorted coldly, and a five-colored divine light bloomed around him.
The next moment, Kong Xuan's figure disappeared without a trace from the eyes of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, it's our turn!"
"Hmm~"
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother smiled at each other.
Then, a white light descended from the sky, enveloped the two of them, and led them back to the fairyland.
At the same time, people with great supernatural powers like Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe, Kunpeng, Tathagata, Xuandu, etc., also used various means to rush to the outside of the thirty-three heavens.
……
Wa Huangtian.
Nuwa looked at the powerful beings from the three realms coming one after another outside the small world, and couldn't help but smile. She turned around and said, "Xiaolong, do you think your clone can beat Kong Xuan?"
"It should work. I won't lose anyway..."
Cheng Long shrugged. Facing a strong man like Kong Xuan, he was not very sure that he could win, but he would definitely not lose.
Because Kong Xuan's most powerful five-colored divine light is aimed at spiritual treasures, while the strongest point of his clone Wukong is his powerful body that integrates three drops of the essence and blood of the ancestor witches, as well as his natural affinity with the two laws of creation and devouring.
The Law of Creation and the Law of Devouring are both top-level laws. As long as the enemy is not a saint, there is no possibility of losing.
At most, the fight will last for a few days and nights, with no one winning or losing.
"Haha~ You seem quite confident. Then let me have a good look at the results of your diligent enlightenment over the years. Don't let me down!" Nuwa raised one hand and rubbed Cheng Long's head vigorously.
Although the person who is related to her by blood is Sun Wukong, Cheng Long is the original Sun Wukong and lives in the Queen Nuwa Palace every day, which results in all the maternal love that Sun Wukong lacks being instilled into Cheng Long by Nuwa.
The relationship between the two had undergone a qualitative change during their more than 500 years of living together.
Cheng Long now truly regards Nuwa as his mother, and Nuwa also regards him as her own son and gives him meticulous care.
Interactions like this happen almost every day.
"Mother, if my clone beats Kong Xuan, can you help me find a matchmaker? I want to marry Chang'e."
Over the past five hundred years, Cheng Long has been accompanied by Bai Ling, Ning Zhongze, his aunt, and the four flower fairies Cuizhu, Yunmei, Dingxiang, and Shaoyao.
But men's pursuit of beauty is endless.
Especially before the journey to the West, after giving up the beautiful Guanyin, he wanted Chang'e even more.
You can't just come to the world of Journey to the West, create a clone, and not mess with any fairies!
This is totally inconsistent with my romantic nature.
"What's the point of marrying a withered flower? If you really want a woman, I'll make you a hundred or eighty fairies who are as beautiful as Chang'e."
Nuwa glared at Cheng Long with disdain.
Suddenly, Nuwa thought of something and rolled her eyes. She smiled and said, "Xiaolong, if you don't want the beauty I made, how about I go back to the Kingdom of Women and ask the Queen of Xiliang for marriage?"
"Uh... let's not do that!"
Cheng Long smiled awkwardly, and was obviously tempted, but because of her status as the Queen of Xiliang, he did not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts.
"What are you afraid of? The clone of the Queen Mother Hou Tu is also a human being. Humans have emotions and desires. Maybe it will work!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, mother!"
Come to think of it, Nuwa is his own mother, so what's there to be afraid of asking his mother to act as a matchmaker? Could it be possible that the Queen Mother Pingxin could come out from the underworld to fight him a few big guys?
If I can get a saintly wife in return after enduring a few tough fights, it would be worth dying for!
……
Beyond the thirty-three heavens.
The boundless chaotic space is such that even a quasi-saint would lose his way and be trapped in chaos forever if he was not careful.
Therefore, Cheng Long, Kong Xuan, the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother and other powerful people from the three realms who were watching the battle only came to the edge of chaos.
"Sun Wukong, although Dapeng deserves his punishment, as his brother, I have no choice but to help him get revenge. Do you have any last wishes?"
After arriving in Chaos, not only can Cheng Long's clone let go, but Kong Xuan can also give it a try.
Revenge for my brother!
For them, it can basically be regarded as a fight to the death!
"Eh~~ Although I don't think you can kill me, it's better to be safe than sorry. If I really lose, please tell Sister Guanyin that I originally planned to propose to her in the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple after escorting Tang Monk to the West!"
As soon as Cheng Long said this, the powerful beings from the three realms who came to watch, all turned their eyes to Tathagata, including Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha.
What a shocking thing!
The pilgrim went to the West to confess his love to Guanyin!
If the Great Leiyin Temple was a Taoist temple, it would definitely become a good story, regardless of whether it succeeds or not.
But the problem is, the Great Leiyin Temple is the headquarters of Buddhism!
Ninety-nine percent of Buddhist monks are ascetic, and the small number that remain practice the Happy Buddha and are not serious people.
"Haha, what a pilgrim! Interesting, interesting. I have written down your last words. If you have no other last wishes, then please do it!"
Kong Xuan was amused by Cheng Long. Apparently, he had not expected that Cheng Long's last wish would be to go to Lingshan and marry Guanyin.
It’s only because Guanyin is slow that she hasn’t arrived yet. Otherwise, after hearing this last wish, she would be so ashamed that she would fall back from the Thirty-three Heavens back to the Purple Bamboo Forest.
"I don't like taking advantage of others, so let's do it together."
"it is good."
Kong Xuan nodded and took action directly. Immediately, a strong wind blew, chaotic airflow surged, the endless space broke apart, and countless fragments flew in all directions.
He simply revealed a Dharma body condensed by five-colored divine light, grabbed a giant sword surrounded by green flames out of thin air, and immediately slashed towards Cheng Long.
Cheng Long decisively took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang and swept it towards Kong Xuan. It was a simple blow, but it contained unfathomable power.
boom……
With a loud bang, Kong Xuan's green sword and golden hoop collided with each other. Suddenly, violent energy spread out in all directions with the two of them as the center. The chaotic space within a radius of ten thousand miles collapsed, and then a new world was born. However, without the supreme treasure and great power to suppress the expansion, it would soon close. "Puff..."
Kong Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards, turned into an arc, and fell into the distance.
With just one move, Cheng Long realized the power of the Ancestral Witch. Kong Xuan used the way of magical powers, and he went head-on with him, which was like hitting a rock with an egg, and was courting death.
"If the twelve ancient witches were alive today, I can't imagine how powerful the witch clan would be..." Cheng Long, who had used almost 90% of his strength, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder a youngest sister among the Twelve Ancestral Witches can open up the Six Paths of Reincarnation with her physical body!
He was able to cultivate a strong body comparable to that of the Ancestral Witch, and he really had to thank Empress Pingxin. If Empress Pingxin had not given him three drops of the Ancestral Witch's blood, his body would never have had the terrifying power it has now.
"It looks like the winner has been decided!"
When Zhen Yuanzi looked at Kong Xuan, who was vomiting blood after being hit by Sun Wukong's stick, he knew clearly that Kong Xuan had no chance of turning the tables. When facing a powerful man who used magic weapons to commit crimes, Kong Xuan could still rely on the five-colored divine light to restrain the opponent.
Unfortunately, Kong Xuan is now facing an opponent whose physical body is comparable to that of the Ancestral Witch.
The result of the following battle was just as Zhen Yuanzi had expected. Even though Kong Xuan used the Five-Colored Divine Light, it only knocked Cheng Long's golden cudgel out of his hand.
But Sun Wukong, who had lost his golden cudgel, was like a wild beast that had broken free from its restraints. Every punch and kick he made could cause chaos and destruction. He clearly had the ability to end the fight quickly, but he chose to beat Kong Xuan for days and nights.
Without him!
It was because Cheng Long had a new realization while beating Kong Xuan.
Pangu created the world with the Axe of Creation, and he carved out a vast world from the chaos one axe at a time. Although Cheng Long does not have such powerful abilities, he can still create a space as big as a small world with one punch.
Of course, creating a new world is nothing. If you want to become the creator, you have to stabilize this space and give birth to new life.
This is a long process, and Cheng Long naturally does not have the energy to open up a small world.
He simply used the birth and closure of space to comprehend the laws of creation, extinction, etc. contained therein.
"Goku, just stop here!"
Seeing that Kong Xuan's breath was getting weaker and weaker, Tathagata, who had been watching from the edge of chaos for several days and nights, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Tathagata, the Peacock King is determined to fight me to the death. You asked me to let him go, but have you ever thought about whether he will let me go after he recovers and regains his spirit?"
Cheng Long grabbed Kong Xuan's neck and cast a spell to restrain his magic power, but he still did not dare to let his guard down.
Those powerful people who can rely on their own cultivation to reach the peak of quasi-sainthood are all darlings of heaven and earth who have the potential to become saints. Who knows if Kong Xuan has any backup plans.
"Wukong, you are so powerful. After this battle, unless the Peacock Bodhisattva has cultivated to become a saint, he will never appear in front of you again. He is different from Dapeng. There is no need to kill him."
The reason why Tathagata asked for mercy was naturally not to favor Kong Xuan, but to preserve the strength of Buddhism.
Even if Kong Xuan does not obey orders, as long as the other party is still the Peacock King Bodhisattva, that is one of the foundations of Buddhism.
At this time, the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe and others had already returned to their respective dojo. There was no need to watch any further on this one-sided show.
Only because Tathagata was worried that Kong Xuan or Sun Wukong would be killed, he stayed until now.
"Tathagata, I can let him go, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Please say."
For some reason, a bad thought suddenly arose in Tathagata's heart.
Cheng Long raised his mouth slightly and said slowly: "After the journey to the West is completed, I will propose to Sister Guanyin. You must give her the right to choose independently and cannot use the Buddhist precepts to interfere with her private life."
"Okay, as long as Guanyin agrees, I will fulfill your wish."
Tathagata agreed very readily. Since Buddhism can even have a happy Buddha, it naturally doesn't care about having one more couple.
On the contrary, if Guanyin Bodhisattva could be used to tie down Wukong, it would be a great thing for Buddhism.
He was so happy that he didn't even have time to object.
……
Xiliang, the capital.
The Queen's bedroom.
The corpse of Nuwa, dressed in green, looked at the Queen of the Kingdom of Daughters in front of her with a light red makeup, and smiled and said, "What should I call you?"
"Just call me Ziyi."
Zi Yi is the name given by Niangniang Pingxin to her own clone. It is very casual and has no meaning at all. It is just for the convenience of Nuwa to call herself.
"Zi Yi, do you want a husband or not?"
Nuwa Shanshi smiled and said, "If you want, I will send it to you right away."
"No, please go back!"
Zi Yi was stunned at first, then refused without thinking.
"Zi Yi, what if the husband I find for you can help you transcend?"
"..."
Zi Yi was silent for a moment, then shook his head again, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, but forget it. Zi Yi is already very happy to be able to walk in the human world."
"That's regretful!"
Nuwa sighed quietly, as if she felt sorry for Pingxin's shallow thoughts. You know, in order to transcend, the Three Pure Ones even dared to sign a devil contract.
Now she just wanted Pingxin's clone to marry her son, but she kept making excuses.
Forget it, everyone has their own destiny and you can’t force it.
Although she felt a little regretful, Nuwa Shanshi still chatted with Ziyi for a long time until the early morning of the next day, and then returned to Wahuangtian.
Cheng Long, who set out on the journey to obtain the scriptures again, exposed his true level of cultivation. As a result, he did not encounter any decent monsters in the following journey. All of them were called back by the gods and Buddhas. The only ones left were some little monster kings who were there to make up the numbers and had no idea of how to behave.
These monsters were either killed by Zhu Bajie or Sha Seng, and very few of them managed to escape.
Time quickly came to three years later.
Cheng Long and his party arrived in Tianzhu Kingdom and walked on the spacious main street. The sounds of street vendors were endless.
As they were walking, they suddenly heard a commotion ahead. Curious, Bajie immediately ran over with his nine-toothed rake in hand.
"Master, come and see, someone is throwing a ball to find a husband!"
Seeing the excitement, Bajie tried hard to squeeze into the crowd, while turning back to call his master to come quickly. After so many years of traveling west, this was the first time he encountered someone throwing a ball to recruit a wife.
"Wu Jing, others are throwing embroidered balls to recruit a son-in-law, why are you joining in the fun? Come back quickly!"
Tang Seng rode his white horse to the back of the crowd and was about to call Bajie back when a embroidered ball suddenly fell from the sky and happened to fall into his arms... (End of this chapter)
