The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True

Chapter 488: Chapter 355: Turmoil! Is a Great War of the Three Realms About to Happen?_2

Even without these great powers.

If Shimen and Taichu Dojo were to go to war.

With the title of ‘Ginseng Fruit Taoist,’ who among the cultivators in the Three Realms has not benefited from his ginseng fruit?

Good heavens!

So, by this calculation, is it not to say… that to deal with Xuanqing, one must stand against the entire Three Realms?

The more he thought about this.

The uglier Tathagata’s face got, even faintly turning from gold to black.

How deceiving!

It’s too deceiving.

How could there be such a difficult enemy like Daoist Xuanqing in this world, whose own self is immortal and can explode at will, and whose interpersonal relationships are so formidable?

One could say… the whole world, except for Shimen and those abnormal-thinking monster races, are all friends of this young man.

“Head of the Taichu Dojo, what do you want?”

Tathagata’s mouth twitched slightly, and his voice was somewhat unsteady.

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing laughed.

He pointed to Tang Xuanzang on the ground and casually said, “Tathagata Buddha, I have already said, this Tang Xuanzang, I want to keep!”

“You… have objections?” Xuanqing squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth revealing a sneer.

If the other party had come to negotiate politely from the beginning, he might have considered letting Tang Xuanzang complete the journey to the West first and then bring him to Black Wind Country later.

But the other party was pressing hard right from the start. Moreover, they took advantage of his absence while he was in seclusion, and actually attacked his subordinates.

On Shimen’s side.

In response to Xuanqing’s words.

Tathagata did not give a definite answer, but instead looked at Taishang Laojun, and said solemnly:

“Taishang Laojun, the matter of the Journey to the West is not only about Shimen. The Heavenly Court, Shimen, and even you are benefiting from it.”

“Head of the Taichu Dojo is your disciple, will you kindly persuade him to return Tang Xuanzang, and for my sake, let bygones be bygones!”

What a let bygones be bygones!

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing couldn’t help but snort.

On the side.

“Hehe!” Taishang Laojun gave a faint smile, then slowly uttered, “Duobao Daoist, your temper never changed-”

“For me, it’s just a bit of merit. About this issue… it’s better for you to discuss it with my disciple.”

These words made it clear that he, Taishang Laojun, wanted to stand on the side of his disciple, even willing to sacrifice any merits from the Journey to the West.

Seeing this.

“Hoo~”

Tathagata took a deep breath and had no choice but to look at Xuanqing again, asking once more, “Head of the Taichu Dojo, what must I do for you to return Tang Xuanzang?”

Upon hearing this.

“Tang Xuanzang is now a member of the Taichu Dojo. I do not have the habit of handing over my own people.” Xuanqing shook his head.

“You…”

Seeing this unyielding Head of the Taichu Dojo, Tathagata felt as if his lungs were about to explode.

The next moment.

Tathagata’s eyes nearly split open, as he shouted angrily:

“Stop!”

The reason for this.

It was because at this moment, Xuanqing moved his right hand and captured Tang Xuanzang, then the dust whisk in his hand released a light, heading towards Tang Xuanzang’s body.

At this moment, it seemed as if the Head of the Taichu Dojo wanted to break the confrontation and directly kill Tang Xuanzang in a fit of anger.

“Myriads of Buddhas…” Tathagata’s golden light erupted, and he was about to take action to prevent this audacious Head of the Taichu Dojo.

Not only Tathagata.

Even the dying Monkey King on the ground thought that the Head of the Taichu Dojo was going mad and wanted to kill his master, Tang Xuanzang.

“Head of the Taichu Dojo, don’t do it!” Monkey King’s eyes were filled with horror, and he used all his strength to shout.

Everyone was even more shocked.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan’s pupils shrank.

However.

When he saw Tathagata preparing to make a move, he didn’t hesitate to wave his sleeves toward Tathagata’s direction, ready to attack at any moment.

“Universe in the Sleeve!”

Signature magical skill.

As the master of the land immortal, Zhenyuanzi’s Universe in the Sleeve could transform everything, which is a genuine ultimate supernatural power that made him achieve the Pinnacle of Quasi-Saint.

“Tathagata, if you dare to attack, the Three Realms will be in chaos!”

The Eight Trigrams chart in Taishang Laojun’s hand bloomed with dazzling azure light, as if it would be swung out at any moment.

At the side of the Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals,

there was no hesitation this time. They all stepped forward and stood by Xuanqing, their combined strike formation ready to be launched any time.

Seeing this,

Tathagata hesitated.

He stopped his Buddha palm, struggling in his eyes.

On one hand was the Westward Journey planned for thousands of years by Shimen, and on the other hand was the turmoil that would cause in the Three Realms. He didn’t know which one to choose.

Keep in mind that Shimen had finally come this far, and if the disturbance in the Three Realms occurred, it might be a huge catastrophe.

Whether Shimen could maintain its current status at that time would be an unknown factor.

There’s a saying – it’s not the poverty and hardship that one fears, but the burden brought by great wealth and power!

At this moment,

if it was during Shimen’s early and poorer days, just like when it was first established, he would have taken Tang Xuanzang without any hesitation to exchange for the merit of the Westward Journey.

“You all…”

Just as Tathagata hesitated,

On the other side,

Xuanqing had already started his next move.

“Dragon Control of Luck… pull!”

With a low shout, he sacrificed his Luck Jade Seal and threw it towards Tang Xuanzang’s head.

He did so not to kill Tang Xuanzang; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been opposing Tathagata that way.

One reason was that he disliked Shimen, and the other was that he indeed felt Tang Xuanzang had talent. If he was recruited, it would greatly benefit Black Wind Country’s future as the center of human luck.

“Hehe, Tathagata, I don’t care for the merit of your Westward Journey!”

Xuanqing sneered, then said with a deep expression, “After I extract the Golden Cicada Seal, giving it to you won’t be a problem!”

Upon hearing this,

Great Immortal Zhenyuan, Taishang Laojun, and the Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they stood firmly by Xuanqing’s side and weren’t afraid to fight Tathagata, if this led to turmoil in the Three Realms, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tathagata was taken aback before reacting.

So Taichu Dao Master didn’t want to have a falling out, but rather extract the Golden Cicada Seal from Tang Xuanzang’s true spirit?

In that case… it wouldn’t be unacceptable!

With that in mind,

“Fine, since Tang Xuanzang’s heart is with Black Wind, I shall grant your request.” Tathagata put his hands together and said lightly.

*Tsk tsk*

As expected of Shimen, they turned the situation of being forced to give in into looking like they were willingly handing it over. Their face had thick skin indeed.

A moment later,

“Ahh…”

Accompanied by Tang Xuanzang’s painful howl, a palm-sized phantom slowly emerged from the top of his head.

“Go!” Xuanqing held the Luck Jade Seal and controlled the Golden Cicada Seal, throwing it towards Tathagata.

Upon seeing this,

Tathagata hurriedly took out a Purple Golden Bowl from the Sumeru Buddhist Country, which was the same one used to suppress the Six-Eared Macaque.

“Receive!”

A powerful suction force bloomed from the Purple Golden Bowl, drawing the ethereal Golden Cicada shadow in.

After storing the Golden Cicada Seal,

Tathagata also sighed in relief.

With Tang Xuanzang as the biggest player acquired, then there’s only the other protagonist from the Westward Journey left – Monkey King.

One could say that,

there were only two true protagonists in the entire Westward Journey: one was Tang Xuanzang and the other was Monkey King.

As for the remaining Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha, Bai Longma and others, they were merely added later and did not belong to naturally formed protagonists.

“Taichu Dao Master, I wonder how you plan to deal with this Monkey King?”

Tathagata asked calmly.

Of course,

he didn’t harbor much hope for retrieving Monkey King. It was already fortunate to get Tang Xuanzang back. This question was just an offhand inquiry..
