Chapter 712
Zi Liyuan in any case is only responsible for transcending the opponent, while conveniently taking over all their inheritance, including cultivation level, even the corpse.
For instance, a certain female rabbit felt the grandeur of the Buddhist Law and wanted to join the Buddhist Sect but was packed off by Chen Sanzang to the Western Paradise.
He then conveniently spiced the rabbit head with some chili, and it really was endlessly delicious.
Riding on a little tiger, one day, Chen Sanzang finally arrived at the border of the Great Qin Empire, outside the Two Worlds Mountain.
Looking at the bald peaks like five fingers reaching into the sky, this fellow couldn't help but sigh, Tathagata is indeed formidable, worthy of once being the master brother of the Jie Sect.
"Old Xi, if I don't go up the mountain to pay my respects, can I forcibly break this seal and release Little Kongkong?"
Looking at the peak piercing the clouds, Chen Sanzang had no desire to climb, especially since the Five Elements Mountain was barren and unattractive, even the thought of exploring or having a chance encounter with a young lady didn't interest him.
"If you completely transcend the Golden Cicada and inherit all his cultivation level, you can forcibly break it."
Old Xi explored a bit and found that this Five Elements Mountain is linked with the earth veins, gathering the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth to form shackles, plus the Buddha seal left by Tathagata atop, confining Sun Wukong.
However, the seal isn't that strong; as long as there's a Daluo Realm powerhouse, it can be violently broken.
The reason no one releases Sun Wukong is because the Buddhist Sect has stationed people here, and a Daluo Realm powerhouse has no reason to offend the Buddhist Sect.
After all, the rumors about the two saints of the Buddhist Sect are not good, and if someone dares to stand up for the monkey, they might get dragged into the Western Teaching, since the Jie Sect used to be the biggest scapegoat, wasn't it?
"Damn, do I really have to climb the mountain and pay respects to Tathagata? Hmph, today I'll pay him, and tomorrow I'll make him pay ten times over!"
Chen Sanzang cursed his bad luck inwardly but didn't head up the mountain immediately, instead proceeding towards where Sun Wukong was imprisoned.
"Little Kongkong, your destined teacher is here to recruit you into the team!"
Holding a staff in one hand and clutching a small wine gourd in the other, Chen Sanzang sat atop the little tiger, drinking wine while chanting Buddha's name.
"Eh, today there's actually a meat-and-wine monk visiting? I, Old Sun, haven't had a drink in ages, give me a cup to quench my thirst first."
With people from the Great Qin Empire taking care, Sun Wukong, although pinned under the Five Elements Mountain, wasn't deprived in terms of food and drink.
But as for alcohol, it was seldom given, mainly because the monkey had poor drinking etiquette, cursing the heavens, the earth, even the Buddha when drunk.
The people of the Great Qin Empire also feared being noted down by the Buddha, so when attending to Sun Wukong, they rarely brought him liquor.
"Eh, I thought monkeys were all skinny, why does Little Kongkong look so plump?"
Chen Sanzang looked strangely at Sun Wukong, whose half shoulder and head were outside the Five Elements Mountain.
Having seen many versions of Brother Monkey, it's his first time seeing such a chubby one, the monkey's face has even turned into a round ball, full of hilarity.
"Every day it's either eating or drinking, or just lying down napping, staying in one place for decades without moving, how could I not gain weight?"
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, rubbing his face which had ballooned into steamed bun-like roundness, looking helpless.
This damned Five Elements Mountain, not only pinning him down, making him unable to move, but also sealing his mana.
Though relying on mere physical strength, he could arduously turn over for a more comfortable position, but couldn't really do any slimming exercises, could he?
If it wasn't for his mana being sealed, he could have used it to refine off all this fat, and now he's just lying there obediently.
He doesn't want to expose his long-accumulated strength, letting Tathagata make preparations or whatnot.
The grudge of being pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, Brother Monkey must settle it, at the very least, strip Tathagata of his hair until it's bald and then polish him with a stick.
Don't they say even an iron rod can be ground down to a needle?
Brother Monkey wants to try if the Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle stick can also be ground down into a needle on Tathagata's bald head!
"Ah, so that's it."
Chen Sanzang nodded and then casually took a Memory Stone out from his storage ring, activated it with a strand of mana, capturing a 360-degree view of the monkey's current form.
It's rare to see Little Kongkong's character setting collapse, not recording it for future amusement, how could Chen Sanzang's deviousness be satisfied?
"Damn it, you meat-and-wine bald donkey, how can you bring a camcorder? Hand over the Memory Stone to Old Sun, or when Old Sun gets free, you'll get beaten with sticks!"
Doesn't Old Sun care about face? This tеxt wаs асquirеd frоm М|V|L0ЕМРYR.
Seeing the meat-and-wine monk swiftly stow away the Memory Stone, Sun Wukong grinned his teeth.
But with his current chubby, bun-like face, is there any trace of ferocity left?
The teeth-showing threat instead makes one feel a sense of silly cuteness and simplicity.
"Little Kongkong, how about trading the Memory Stone for a chance at freedom?"
Forcing a chicken leg into the grumbling monkey's mouth, Chen Sanzang said lightly.
"What? Freedom, you're the Buddhist Sect's westward journey baldy?"
The monkey mumbled as he bit the chicken leg.
With a burst of strength, he flipped himself over, lying face up to look at the meat-and-wine monk.
"Amitabha, Little Kongkong, how are you speaking? Can the poor monk be the same as a baldy? You better reorganize your words, or… heh."
Chen Sanzang sneered, his eyes glancing intentionally or unintentionally towards the top of the Five Elements Mountain.
