Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Profound Immortal, True Immortal, and Golden Immortal, these are the powers responsible for protecting the Immortal Buddha Head of Chen Sanzang.

Their task of protection is essentially to monitor any anomalies in Chen Sanzang or any incidents on the pilgrimage westward, so those behind them can handle matters promptly.

"Even if you can hide your aura, transcending these people will still result in them sending someone to monitor."

"No matter how many come, they're just sending heads. It's perfect to elevate cultivation to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak."

Chen Sanzang casually glanced at the scattered Immortals in the sky, it's obvious that these guys have their small cliques too.

"I need to make some preparations first. Let's release Little Kongkong to ensure these guys can't escape, transcend them all at once."

Old Xi indicated they need to wait a bit; more preparations are necessary.

"Old Xi, you're still a waste!"

"Why is Golden Cicada dragging on the pilgrimage like this?"

"Been watching for a year, it feels like Golden Cicada is not journeying west for scriptures but for fun and sightseeing."

"How does he know the cultivation method of the Joyful Buddha? Scouting some exceptional mountain and wild demon beauties for dual cultivation of joy?"

"Why does Golden Cicada seem so unreliable?"

"Wasn't this lifetime's Golden Cicada supposed to have Heavenly Immortal cultivation? Why can't it be detected?"

...

The Five Directions Jiedi gathered together, chatting endlessly.

By now, it has been a year since Chen Sanzang left the Great Qin Capital, yet he hasn't stepped out of the Great Qin Empire's territory.

Not to mention, there's still half the journey to the Five Elements Mountain, extrapolating this pace, it may take another year!

Once outside the Great Qin Empire, facing various trials, it's likely Chen Sanzang's pace will slow even more; reaching the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple may take decades!

Departing as a youth, traversing the long road of life, arriving with white hair and aging body, is this to astonish the array of Bodhisattva Buddhas?

Golden Head Jiedi, Silver Head Jiedi, Paragate Jiedi, Boluo Monk Jiedi, and Mahakaruna Jiedi ponder Chen Sanzang's required time, instantly feeling helpless.

"Should we send someone down, do some subtle moves, urge him along?"

Golden Head Jiedi rubs his bald head, feeling Chen Sanzang is deliberately stalling for time but lacks evidence.

"Look, he's again searching for little demons all over, it's the umpteenth harm he's caused!"

Watching the unflinching Chen Sanzang drag a seductive female demon into a mountain cave to discuss Buddhist law, the guardians instantly feel black lines across their faces.

"This is the ninety-ninth victim, just unknown if this female demon will be transcended by Golden Cicada or sent to meet the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva in the underworld for a good reincarnation next life."

Paragate Jiedi's tone carried some envy, especially as some female demons after serving Golden Cicada are sent to Ksitigarbha's place, gaining tremendous fortune.

It's known that Ksitigarbha has a good relationship with Golden Cicada, any demon sent by Golden Cicada gets to hear the teachings at Ksitigarbha's place.

Ksitigarbha, a top-tier Daluo Golden Immortal, whose teachings on the Daoist skill greatly benefit the Jiedi, potentially breaking through True Immortal Realm, reaching Golden Immortal Level.

As for those who've poorly served Golden Cicada, even want to taste his flesh for immortality, all are transcended by some shameless character with Buddhist Law.

Most excessively, if any female demon shows its original form and fits the taste of a certain bald monk, even the corpse would be processed into delicacies, eaten entirely.

Escorting Golden Cicada, Six Ding and Six Jia, Five Directions Jiedi, Four Value Officials, Eighteen Guardian Jialan from the sky find Golden Cicada's actions wicked, lacking any appearance of a high monk.

They truly don't understand how Golden Cicada is so murderous and lecherous in this life, yet holds the title of Master Sanzang.

Especially with Golden Cicada having done so many misdeeds, yet his Buddha Essence remains extremely pure, comparable even to Tathagata's Buddha Essence.

Utterly absurd!

"Should we report? I feel something's wrong with Golden Cicada; if this continues, forget becoming a Buddha, the chance of becoming a great demon is higher!"

"Perhaps wait a bit longer? Once he releases Sun Wukong, things might improve; after all, the monkey is stronger, likely can stop him from continuing wicked deeds."

Time flies by, another year swiftly passed.

Chen Sanzang found much joy along the way, truly went wherever there were mountains and forests; every charming female demon encountered was converted once.

Those who complied gained great fortune.

Those who resisted gained immense creation.

The former gets converted and sent to the Netherworld, arranged to be reborn in the next life in the Great Qin Empire.

The latter transcended, sent to the Western Paradise, whether they meet the Buddha is unknown.

After all, having given great creation, personal inability is no one else's fault.

He only transcends the counterpart, appropriating all inheritance, including cultivation, even the corpse.

For instance, a certain female rabbit senses the vastness of Buddhist law, desires to enter the Buddhist Sect but gets packed and transcended directly to the Western Paradise by Chen Sanzang.

And he even casually spices the rabbit head as a spicy dish, truly delicious beyond measure.

Riding on a small tiger, today Chen Sanzang finally reaches the border of the Great Qin Empire, beyond the Two Worlds Mountain.

Gazing at the barren peaks resembling five fingers piercing the clouds, he couldn't help but marvel at Tathagata's prowess, worthy of being once the master brother of Jie Sect.

"Old Xi, if we don't go up the mountain to pay respects, can we forcefully break the seal to release Little Kongkong?"

Facing the cloud-piercing peaks, Chen Sanzang has no desire to climb them, especially as these barren Five Elements Mountains offer nothing, not even any urge to explore for hidden beauties like young misses or sisters.

"If you completely transcend Golden Cicada, inheriting all his cultivation, you could forcefully break it."

Old Xi took a slight probe, noticing the Five Elements Mountain connected to earth veins, gathered the Five Elements Power of Heaven and Earth, forming a shackle, with the Buddha Seal left by Tathagata atop, trapping Sun Wukong.

However, the seal is not very strong; as long as there's a Daluo Realm expert, they could violently break it.

The reason no one releases Sun Wukong is because the Buddhist Sect stations people here, plus Daluo Realm experts have no reason to offend the Buddhist Sect.

Especially since the reputation of the Buddhist Sect's two saints isn't great, daring to help the monkey would likely result in getting involved with the Western Teaching; after all, Jie Sect was the largest aggrieved school before, wasn't it?

"Darn it, must really climb the mountain to pay respects to Tathagata? Hmph, today I pay him, tomorrow, definitely make him pay back tenfold!"

Chen Sanzang cursed quietly but did not immediately climb the mountain, instead moving towards Sun Wukong's confinement.

"Little Kongkong, your Heavenly Destiny teacher comes to recruit you?"

Holding a staff in one hand and a small wine gourd in another, Chen Sanzang sat on the small tiger, drinking wine while chanting Buddhist hymns.

"Ah, today's the arrival of the Drinking and Eating Monk? I, Old Sun, haven't drunk for a long time, give me a cup first to satisfy my craving."

With care from the Great Qin Empire's people, Sun Wukong, although trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, suffered no hardships aside from being immobile, not lacking food and drink.

But wine was rarely sent, mainly because the monkey didn't have a good reputation when drunk, liking to curse heaven, earth, and Buddha.

The Great Qin Empire's people also fear being noted by Buddha, so while tending to Sun Wukong, they seldom offered him wine.

"Ah, I originally thought monkeys are lean, why is Little Kongkong so round?"

Chen Sanzang, with a face full of oddity, looked at Sun Wukong's shoulder and head partially outside the Five Elements Mountain.

He's seen many versions of Brother Monkey before, this is the first time seeing one so plump, the monkey's face has turned into a round ball, truly comical.
