Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

However, on the surface, this fellow seemed sincerely devoted, while inwardly he cursed the entire Buddha Sect and everyone from Tathagata down.

As Chen Sanzang finished reciting the scriptures, the Buddha Seal emitted a golden light, slowly drifting away from the peak of Five-Finger Mountain.

With the departure of this Buddha Seal, the Five Elements Formation underneath Five Elements Mountain instantly ceased operation, and the immense Five Elements Power began to slowly dissipate in all directions.

The Western Heavenly Spiritual Mountain, Leiyin Temple.

In the sky appeared a projection displaying the condition of Five Elements Mountain.

Upon seeing the erratic Chen Sanzang genuinely kneeling before the Buddha Seal, performing three bows and nine kowtows, Tathagata's lips curled into a barely noticeable smile.

As the numerous Buddha Bodhisattvas in Leiyin Temple witnessed this scene, many sighed with relief, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva.

For the matter of the Westward Journey, she had been tirelessly managing everything, and unexpectedly, due to an oversight, the last reincarnation of Golden Cicada ended up in Java Country.

This change nearly convinced Guanyin that the matter of the Westward Journey was doomed to failure, not expecting the unreliable Chen Sanzang, superficially indifferent, also practiced Joyful Zen, treating Buddha Sect's rules and regulations as trifles.

Yet the Buddha Nature hidden within him remained unchanged, his pure Buddha Essence rivaling that of Tathagata.

At this moment, seeing Chen Sanzang worshiping devoutly, Guanyin relaxed most of her worries.

At least for now, it seems this lifetime's Golden Cicada is unlikely to succumb to the Demon Path.

After all, the Western Teaching was founded on the Demonic Cult; the boundary between Buddha and Demon is exceedingly thin, which is why, in the Primordial World, the practitioners falling into demonic ways the most are Buddhist Practitioners, as Buddha and Demon are merely a thought apart.

"We can slightly loosen the surveillance on Chen Sanzang. The most essential matter now is the deployment in the Western Continent."

With a wave of Tathagata's hand, the light screen in the sky vanished, revealing instead the map of the Western Continent.

However, this map showed numerous small red dots, marking the route from Chen Sanzang's entry into the Western Continent to the Western Heavenly Spiritual Mountain Leiyin Temple.

"The Heavenly Court, the Three Religions, and some other forces are involved; we need to clear out a batch and expand the area under Buddha Sect's control."

The Western Continent is the stronghold of Buddhism, yet not entirely under Buddhist control, dotted with many pins either arranged by the Heavenly Court, implemented by the Three Religions, or hidden by other forces.

They intend to use Chen Sanzang's Westward Journey to uproot some of the forces along the way not under Buddha Sect's control!

The Buddha Sect is planning how to fully control the Western Continent.

At Five Elements Mountain, once Chen Sanzang completed his prayer to the Buddha Seal, Five-Finger Mountain shook dramatically.

"Master Sanzang, step back quickly, Old Sun is coming out!"

Feeling the dispersal of Five Elements Power and the dissolution of restraining seals, Sun Wukong spread both hands and lifted Five Elements Mountain.

With a crashing sound and dust everywhere, amidst a thunderous noise, a monkey, so chubby it looked like a ball, soared into the sky, upward into the clouds.

"Old Sun is out! Haha..."

Flying in mid-air, Chen Sanzang, somehow holding a Memory Stone, ferociously capturing footage of Sun Wukong.

Before Sun Wukong could react, the footage was promptly stored as blackmail material.

Sun Wukong also demonstrated his skill, with swift somersaults, his spherical body instantly slimmed down, transforming back into the Monkey King who once dazzled countless female monkeys!

"This Little Kongkong is much more pleasing, the prosperous chubby Monkey King looked foolish; if that Memory Stone were to be sold, it might garner quite a lot of good things."

In the Myriad Worlds of the Heavens, Sun Wukong's reputation is exceedingly high; his embarrassing moments would definitely have many willing buyers.

This is precisely why Chen Sanzang and Old Xi recorded him.

"Alright, Little Kongkong, stop jumping around, we should start acting."

Flying in mid-air, Chen Sanzang revealed a mysterious smile towards a piece of cloud.

"Sanzang, the Heavenly Mechanism is concealed, information within a thousand miles radius is blocked; you have ten minutes to act, exceeding which the chance of detection increases exponentially."

Tathagata can directly see those with cultivation levels weaker than his, but Old Xi is more powerful, supported by Pig God behind him, making it easier to deceive them.

Of course, if Tathagata were to come directly to Five Elements Mountain, it would be different, since the gap between seeing with the naked eye and viewing from afar is immensely large, especially here in the Mythical World.

Old Xi merely covered a thousand miles radius, letting everything proceed as he had deduced, thus easily deceiving the Buddha Sect and Heavenly Court's sight.

And all the Immortals and Buddhas, upon receiving their boss's message, were ready to return when suddenly they discovered Monkey appeared on their return path.

A monkey whose eyes shone with hostility and whose face had a cold, insidious smile, made the Immortals and Buddhas feel inexplicably chilly within.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Sun Wukong glared viciously at these dogs. Having been trapped here, these guys were the Prison Chiefs; had it not been for the people from the Great Qin Empire, these guys would have fed him Iron Juice and Copper Pills!

With mana sealed, ingesting too many Iron Juice and Copper Pills would inevitably hinder the purity of the body, unnecessarily increasing the difficulty of cultivating the Chaos Demon Ape Technique.

Clearly, this was the plotting of Buddha Sect and Heavenly Court, aiming not to let him transcend, or even to sever his path.

How could the Monkey not hate?

But lacking strength, he could only endure.
