Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent-Chapter 303 - 274

"Though they say it’s for protection, it’s really just to monitor Chen Sanzang for any abnormalities, or if any incidents occur on the pilgrimage, so that their superiors can promptly handle them."

"They may be able to hide their presence, but even after absolving these people, someone from above will still be sent to watch over."

"However many come, isn’t it just sending many heads? Perfect for pushing my cultivation to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

Chen Sanzang slyly glanced at the scattered Immortal Gods in the sky. Clearly, these guys also had their small cliques and groups.

"I need to make some preparations, first let the little Sun Wukong out, to ensure these guys can’t escape completely, then entirely absolve them."

The old Tie suggested waiting a bit, as further preparations were needed.

"Old Tie, as expected, you’re still useless!"

"Why is this Golden Cicada taking so long on his pilgrimage?"

"I’ve been watching for a year, and it feels like this Golden Cicada is not out for scriptures but for sightseeing."

"How does this guy know the Joyful Buddha’s cultivation technique? And while he’s at it, he’s scouting for some top-notch mountain sprites and wild demon beauties to dual cultivate with joy? "

"Why does this Golden Cicada seem so unreliable?"

"Wasn’t it said that this lifetime’s Golden Cicada has Celestial Immortal cultivation? Why can’t it be detected?"

...

The five Directions Jiedi gathered, chattering endlessly.

By now, a year had passed since Chen Sanzang left the Great Qin Imperial City, yet he still hadn’t left the territory of the Great Qin Empire.

Moreover, he was still halfway to the Five Elements Mountain; at this rate, it may take another year!

Once he leaves the Great Qin Empire’s boundaries, encountering various tribulations could slow Chen Sanzang even further, and it might take decades to reach the Thunderclap Monastery in the Western Paradise!

Starting his journey in his youth, crossing the long road of life, and reaching the destination as an elderly man, possibly showcasing this to the Bodhisattva Buddhas?

The Golden Head Jiedi, Silver Head Jiedi, Prajna, Prajna Jiedi, and Mahayana Jiedi calculated the time Chen Sanzang would need and instantly panicked.

"Why not send someone down to stir things up a bit and hasten him?"

The Golden Head Jiedi rubbed his bald head, feeling that Chen Sanzang was deliberately causing trouble to waste time, but he had no proof.

"Look, he’s out searching the mountains for little demon spirits again. Which one is this that he’s ruined now?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Watching the unabashed Chen Sanzang drag a charming demoness into a cave to discuss Buddhist Technique, the guardians were instantly speechless.

"This is the ninety-ninth victim, and it’s unknown whether this demoness will be absolved by the Golden Cicada or sent to the Underworld to meet Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, hoping for a better rebirth."

Prajna spoke with a tinge of sourness, especially as some demonesses, after serving the Golden Cicada well, were sent to Ksitigarbha’s Dojo, receiving great opportunities.

Bear in mind, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had a good friendship with the Golden Cicada, and any spirit sent by the Golden Cicada would listen to the Way at Ksitigarbha’s Dojo.

Ksitigarbha, a top-tier Daluo Golden Immortal, whose Daoist Techniques would be extremely beneficial to them and might even help them break through to True Immortal level, reaching Golden Immortal levels.

As for those who failed to serve the Golden Cicada, or even intended to eat his flesh to achieve immortality, they were all absolved by some shameless person’s Buddhist Technique.

The most excessive thing was, whenever a demoness revealed its true form and matched the penchant of a certain monk, even the corpses were processed into delicacies, devoured completely.

The Six Ding Six Jia protecting the Golden Cicada from the air, along with the Five Directions Jiedi, Four Value Deities, and eighteen Garan Protectors, felt something demonic in the Golden Cicada, lacking the airs of an Enlightened Monk.

They truly didn’t understand how, despite all the evil deeds, the Golden Cicada’s Buddha Essence remained so pure that it seemed to rival the Tathagata Buddha’s.

Simply absurd!

"Should we report this? I feel there’s something wrong with the Golden Cicada, and at this rate, let alone becoming a Buddha, he might turn into a great demon!"

"Or wait a bit longer? Maybe after releasing Sun Wukong, things might improve, as the monkey should be more virtuous and capable of stopping him from wrongdoing."

Time flew by, and another year passed swiftly.

Chen Sanzang enjoyed his journey immensely, truly exploring every mountain and entering every forest he could, able to convert any beautiful demoness he encountered.

Those who followed him gained great opportunities.

Those who didn’t were blessed with great fortunes.

The former were sent to the Underworld for reincarnation in the Great Qin Empire after being converted by him.

The latter were absolved and sent to the Western Paradise; whether they could meet the Buddha was uncertain.

After all, he provided the great fortune, but if they were not capable, who could be blamed?

He simply absolved them and took over all their legacies, including cultivation and even their corpses.

For instance, a certain female rabbit felt the grand edicts of the Buddhist Technique and sought to join the Buddhist Sect, so Chen Sanzang promptly absolved and sent her to the Western Paradise.

Despite this, he spicy-braised her rabbit head, which turned out incredibly delicious.

Riding a little tiger, one day Chen Sanzang finally reached the borders of the Great Qin Empire, outside the Two Realms Mountain.

Looking at the towering peaks stretching into the clouds like five bald fingers, he couldn’t help but admire that the Tathagata Buddha was indeed impressive, no wonder he was once the eldest brother of the Jie Sect.
