Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 730 - Wutian Maitreya, Are You Well

730: Chapter 730: Wutian: Maitreya, Are You Well?

730 -730: Wutian: Maitreya, Are You Well?

Maitreya Buddha’s figure descended directly into the Demon Realm, then quietly approached the Great Nirvana Temple.

Although he had reached the level of a Quasi-Saint, Maitreya Buddha was very aware of Wutian’s strength.

After all, in the recent chaos over the Hongmeng Purple Qi, Wutian even managed to overpower the Tathagata, a clear indication of his might, not to mention that Maitreya himself had an arm severed.

If discovered by Wutian, the prospects would likely be grim.

He carefully made his way toward the Great Nirvana Temple while secretly strategizing his next moves.

Firstly, it was to locate Guanyin within the Great Nirvana Temple.

Secondly, to speak with Guanyin and negotiate for the Divine Water from her Jade Clean Bottle to heal his severed arm.

Last, to leave the Demon Realm.

Though the journey was fraught with certain dangers, Maitreya believed that as long as he did not encounter Wutian, his safety was somewhat assured.

After all, he was a Quasi-Saint; though he had lost an arm, his cultivation level was not impacted.

Upon reaching the Great Nirvana Temple, Maitreya Buddha stealthily entered, going unnoticed by ordinary beings.

Once inside, his objective was naturally to locate Guanyin.

After searching around, he found that Guanyin was not hidden within the Great Nirvana Temple; thus, finding her was not difficult.

Moreover, hearing people inside the temple talk, it seemed that Guanyin had been injured?

Therefore, many were focused on her?

And many were contemplating helping heal her?

“Oh?

Guanyin is injured, you say?

That might increase the likelihood of negotiating with her!”

Upon hearing this news, Maitreya Buddha’s eyes slightly brightened, and he murmured inwardly.

Shortly after, Maitreya Buddha found the location of Guanyin’s Zen Room.

Seeing the people going in and out, Maitreya Buddha remained hidden, not in a hurry to approach anyone.

It wasn’t until late at night, when the people of the Great Nirvana Temple had gradually gone to rest, that Maitreya secretly revealed himself and slipped into Guanyin’s Zen Room.

Once inside the Zen Room, Maitreya could clearly see Guanyin’s figure sitting quietly on a stool, motionless as if she were a doll.

However, from her body, Maitreya could still sense vitality.

“Guanyin, I hope you’ve been well…” Watching Guanyin sitting quietly, Maitreya took the initiative to speak.

However, Guanyin, sitting alone, acted as if she heard nothing, seemingly oblivious.

She didn’t even offer a reply, not even a glance in Maitreya’s direction.

“Hmm?” Seeing Guanyin truly resembling a doll with no reaction whatsoever, Maitreya’s brow slightly furrowed.

Something seemed off.

Thinking it over, Maitreya went straight up to Guanyin.

Guanyin still remained motionless, her eyes calmly fixed forward, breathing evenly.

“Guanyin!?”

Seeing Guanyin before him without any movement, Maitreya called out again.

Yet, Guanyin’s expression remained unchanged, completely ignoring Maitreya.

“What is going on here?”

Looking at Guanyin’s appearance, Maitreya was somewhat taken aback.

Could it be?

The earlier talk of Guanyin being injured, was this what they meant?

“Hey, Guanyin, can you hear me speaking?” Maitreya asked after a moment of silence.

…

Inside the Zen Room, Maitreya continued speaking to Guanyin, but all his words were met with silence, as if completely unheard.

Guanyin sat quietly by herself, unmoving, her gaze fixed straight ahead, completely unresponsive no matter what Maitreya said.

“Guanyin, don’t you recognize me anymore?

What has made you become like this!?”

“Guanyin, where is your Jade Clean Bottle?

Could you show it to me, perhaps?”

“Guanyin, look, Zhu Bajie has come!”

…

Despite the repeated statements, Guanyin remained unchanged, unresponsive.

Meanwhile, Maitreya, now almost resembling a court jester desperate to attract Guanyin’s attention, failed to elicit any reaction from her no matter what he said.

“Ah, how could this be!”

After trying for a long time, Guanyin showed no response, and a long sigh escaped from Maitreya Buddha’s heart.

Having exerted considerable effort and risked danger by sneaking into the Great Nirvana Temple, his purpose was to find Guanyin and seek a healing method for his severed arm.

But now that he had found Guanyin, was she completely unable to communicate?

Her appearance was just like that of someone afflicted with soul loss.

Om!

Just as Maitreya Buddha was feeling resigned in his heart and contemplating his next steps, suddenly, he felt that the entire Zen Room of Guanyin was filled with countless dark Buddhist Texts emerging.

“These?

A Formation!?” Seeing the entire Zen Room covered with dense Buddhist Texts, Maitreya Buddha’s face involuntarily changed.

Had a formation been lying in wait for him here all along?

Was it that someone had foreseen his arrival and laid a trap for him to fall into?

“Maitreya, the words you just spoke were indeed correct, long time no ill….”

As the formation lit up and sealed the entire Zen Room, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

With this voice, a man with long hair and dressed in black Buddha’s Robe walked in calmly, his gaze landing on Maitreya Buddha.

“Wutian!?” Seeing the figure that walked out, Maitreya Buddha’s face grew dark as if about to drip water.

This was truly a case of fearing something might happen, and it did.

He feared encountering Wutian in the Great Nirvana Temple, yet the more he feared it, the more it happened.

What was scarier was that it seemed Wutian had also set up a trap in advance, waiting for him to jump into it.

“Welcome, one of the Three-World Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, to my Great Nirvana Temple, it is only natural for me to treat you well; otherwise, wouldn’t I fail to fulfill the duties of a host?”

Wutian’s gaze landed on Maitreya Buddha, and as he spoke, Wutian’s hand lifted.

“Hmph, no need to spout so much nonsense, if you want to fight, then let’s fight.

However, there is one thing I do not understand, how did you know in advance that I would come here!?”

Maitreya Buddha looked sour, the usually jovial smile on his face had long since vanished as he stared at Wutian and asked.

“Take your doubts with you to meet Ksitigarbha…” However, in response to Maitreya Buddha’s inquiry, Wutian did not intend to clarify, instead, he shook his head and said.

As he spoke, his raised hand fell swiftly.

…

What happened in the Demon Realm is yet to be told, but meanwhile, in the Mortal World, on the Journey to the West.

“Are you saying?

The Tathagata intends to take the recipe for the Healing Divine Water directly from me?” Jiang Liu looked at Liaoxin in front of him and asked.

“Yes, Holy Monk, Tathagata and my master discussed it and said it was so, but as for the specifics, I didn’t hear them.

This news should be very useful to you, right?” Liaoxin nodded and spoke to Jiang Liu.

“Hmm, it is indeed useful!” Jiang Liu nodded slightly, his expression growing pensive.

Ever since Sun Wukong defeated Master Leizhen using Healing Potions, many throughout the three realms and six paths have been very interested in this Healing Potion that can restore Health Points in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Liu knew this.

Yet, along the way, hadn’t the Tathagata always treated him as one of his own?

So, there was no rush to scheme for the Healing Potions from him.

Why then, was Tathagata unable to wait any longer today?

“Holy Monk, this will indeed be helpful to you, so in the future, regarding the matter between you and me…” Having received Jiang Liu’s affirmative answer, Liaoxin followed up with a question.

“Hmm, your and Liaokong’s matters, I naturally don’t recall them!” Jiang Liu clearly understood what Liaoxin meant, resuming the conversation.

“Good, Holy Monk, you are indeed magnanimous.

Then I shall take my leave!” Having received Jiang Liu’s affirmation, which clearly means he won’t use the matters between him and Liaokong against them in the future, Liaoxin said joyfully.

After his words fell, Liaoxin no longer stayed to say more, turned around, donned the hood on his black robe, and departed.

“The Tathagata, plotting for my Healing Potion, can’t wait any longer, huh?” Watching Liaoxin’s departing figure, Jiang Liu silently pondered.

Why was the Tathagata suddenly unable to wait any longer?

Could it be…

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu had a rough idea in his mind.

Some days earlier, because of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the Tathagata had fought a battle with Wutian Buddha and found himself slightly bested.

So, did the Tathagata also want to learn from Sun Wukong’s trick, using Healing Potions to bridge gaps in strength that weren’t too large?

“Hmm, it seems the Tathagata also understands that the healing effect of the Healing Potion is not a fixed restoration amount but that the higher one’s Cultivation Level, the more pronounced the healing effect, right?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t care so much and be so impatient, right?”

Thinking this, Jiang Liu quietly muttered to himself.

The instantaneous restoration effect of 10% Health Points, naturally, is more pronounced for those of higher levels.

“Master, are you back?” Back at the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Sun Wukong and his companions, seeing Jiang Liu turn back, greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Liu glanced at them, and indeed, they had already prepared all the ingredients for the barbecue.

“Master, you seem somewhat down.

Did something happen?”

“Or did that mysterious person just tell you some bad news?”
