Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 77: Buddhism Comes Knocking

"Then I’ll destroy this root of impure thoughts and troubles!"

Without hesitation, Qiong Xiao dug a large hole in the crotch of the Golden Body Statue.

Seeing that there was nothing good left to do, Yunxiao said softly, "Let me put an end to his filthy and sinful life."

With a sweep of her sleeves, the head of the Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light’s Golden Body Statue instantly separated from its body.

In an obscure little temple on the Western Continent, grunting sounds emanated from inside. Soon, a nun with disheveled clothes ran out from the inner chamber, her face somewhat dissatisfied.

Inside the chamber, a man with long ears and rabbit teeth, looking thoroughly satisfied, was sitting on the bed, dressed in a Buddhist robe.

Indeed, the Tao of Yin and Yang is very convenient. Even without practicing, he could keep up with his cultivation.

He computed that after the Journey to the West was over, he should be able to seize the opportunity to ascend to the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal, right?

As he was indulging in pleasant thoughts, his body suddenly jerked, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Why had his Power of Incense Fire suddenly disappeared by more than half?

Because of his special identity and the unique way he practiced, even though most of the Human Race in the Western Continent believed in Buddhism, there was basically no worship of his Buddha Statue in the great hall.

It could be said that his Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light’s Power of Faith was the least amongst all Buddhists, without exception!

But just now, half of his Power of Faith had vanished in an instant. What was happening?!

The Delighted Buddha of Fixed Light hurriedly began deducing and calculating the cause and effect.

Yunshan Temple, there was an issue with Yunshan Temple, one of the only three temples where he had a Golden Body Statue!

He didn’t know who was so blind as to trouble him. Anger surged in his heart, and he quickly donned his Buddhist robe to rush towards Yunshan Temple.

At the moment, in the great hall, besides the unharmed Golden Body Statues of some profound figures, the rest were already in ruins.

"We can exchange these for quite a bit of money. This should be enough for us to live on for a while," Bixiao said with a smile, thinking of the hefty spending she could do at Chaos Residence, unable to stop her joy.

Qiong Xiao nodded and said, "Right, if it’s not enough, we’ll just switch to another temple."

She still felt somewhat unsatisfied, these despicable people who loved to plot in the dark were unworthy of being worshipped in temples!

Yunxiao carefully concealed the mana fluctuations of the three of them and said, "We should leave quickly. If we wait for the Buddhists to come knocking, it won’t be easy to escape."

Qiong Xiao was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly sensed a response from the Illusion Array. Looking at the tightly closed temple doors, she let out a cold laugh, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes, and spoke, "Big sister, no need to go, the bald donkeys have arrived!"

Samantabhadra was the nearest to Yunshan Temple and hence the first to arrive.

"Hmph, a mere Formation thinks it can obstruct me! Watch me forcefully break through this Formation, and let you wretches have nowhere to hide!" Samantabhadra sneered confidently and started breaking the Formation.

However, after a while, Samantabhadra was completely baffled. This Formation was set up too ingeniously, wasn’t it?

With his level of mana cultivation, he simply couldn’t break it by force, yet he was not very adept with Formations.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to do and became wary of this unseen head culprit, feeling the urge to retreat.

But at that moment, Manjushri also rushed over from his cultivation site.

Seeing Manjushri’s arrival, Samantabhadra exclaimed with joy, "Manjushri, assist me!"

After Manjushri assessed the situation, the two of them began working together to break the Formation, yet to no avail.

Manjushri clenched his teeth and said, "What kind of Formation is this that is so difficult to contend with!"

All the Golden Body Statues have been destroyed, and as the rightful owners, they still don’t know who did it to this moment. If they could swallow this grievance, then what face would they have to stand in the Three Realms!

Bodhisattva Guanyin also rushed over from Mount Luojia.

Upon seeing Guanyin’s arrival, Manjushri and Samantabhadra also understood it was for the same reason and quickly shouted, "Bodhisattva Guanyin, lend us a hand!"

A flicker of surprise flashed through Guanyin’s eyes, not expecting that Manjushri and Samantabhadra would be there, too. Then, her eyes were filled with rage—the audacity of the villain was too much, having destroyed the Golden Body Statues of the three of them in succession. Today’s matter was far from over!

She immediately joined in to begin breaking the Formation.

Guanyin, being a peak Daluo Golden Immortal, combined with the assistance from the two mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortals, Manjushri and Samantabhadra, caused a qualitative change from the quantitative changes.

Although the Illusion Array was somewhat miraculous, it was, after all, hastily arranged by Qiong Xiao, so it was broken through under the joint effort of the three.

The three Bodhisattvas had frosty expressions as they waved their hands and directly broke open the main gate.

The temple interior was a mess, with most of the Golden Body Statues knocked about haphazardly.

But the three Bodhisattvas didn’t care anymore, their entire focus was on the three women in the main hall.

One should know that, besides Tongtian the Saint, the weight of the Three Xiaos was undeniably the highest among those they feared in the Jie School. Although they were not the most prestigious members or the ones with the highest cultivation, their battle achievements were the most dazzling—a single Nine Curves Yellow River Formation had caused their twelve Golden Immortals to be utterly defeated!

To cut off the Three Flowers and impair the Five Qi had a negative impact that still existed to this day!

"How could it be you! Why would you do this!" the three Bodhisattvas said with ugly expressions.

No wonder the Formation was so hard to break. It turned out to be set up by the Three Xiaos.

At that moment, the thought of retreating couldn’t help but arise in the minds of the three Bodhisattvas. They dared to fight a few moves with the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, but they didn’t dare to confront the Three Xiaos. There was no help for it; the shadow was simply too profound.

Those who hadn’t experienced it could never know the pain of being impaired!

"We were bored and came here for some amusement. Do you have a problem with that?" Bixiao chuckled with a sneer, hands akimbo.

She certainly wouldn’t tell them it was to earn a meal at Chaos Residence!

"You publicly humiliate Buddhism, aren’t you afraid the Buddha will blame you!" Guanyin saw Manjushri and Samantabhadra shrinking like quails and huffed inwardly, having no choice but to brace herself.

"Let the Tathagata come if he comes, who would be afraid!" Qiong Xiao’s eyes turned cold as she spoke sternly.

She even wished she could beat them up on the spot.

Seeing that the Three Xiaos didn’t take their threats seriously, Guanyin was also a bit at a loss—there wasn’t much certainty in fighting, but not fighting and the rumor spreading would only make a laughingstock, wouldn’t it?

How would they mix in the future, and where would their prestige be then?

At that moment, Guanyin noticed the other haphazardly scattered Golden Body Statues and, instead of anger, felt joyful.

They had all come in disregard of their own complicated affairs because of the Golden Body Statues. How could those Buddhas who have been secluded and idle in Spirit Mountain stay put?

They only needed to hold on a little longer, and assistance would swiftly arrive. Then, the Three Xiaos would surely have no chance of escape!

With this thought, Guanyin felt a surge of confidence and coldly declared, "Three Xiaos, your insults to Buddhism are unforgivable. It seems we must deal with you properly, capture you all, and escort you to Spirit Mountain to rectify the public’s perception!"

"If you have the guts, then come try!" Qiong Xiao scoffed in disdain. The Three Xiaos walked out of the main hall so casually, not taking the three Bodhisattvas seriously in the slightest.

Guanyin’s words left Manjushri and Samantabhadra completely baffled, their faces expressing astonishment—they fight the Three Xiaos?!

Not to mention Yunxiao, a Quasi-Saint who had never died, even confronting Qiong Xiao and Bixiao, the two peak Daluo Golden Immortals, was something they could not afford to provoke.
