Chapter 83 The Journey to the West: Bai Suzhen Returns
After Sun Wukong was born, he ruled as king of the Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain for about three hundred years.
He then set sail in search of immortals, and several decades passed.
After cultivating on Lingtai Fangcun Mountain for seven years, he returned to Huaguo Mountain and joined forces with a group of demons until his soul returned to the underworld.
The Book of Life and Death records: "Sun Wukong, a stone monkey born of heaven, was destined to live for 342 years and die peacefully."
Then came his appointment in Heaven and his havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
Xu Xian does not intend to interfere with Monkey King's opportunities, but he will participate in enlightening Monkey King and causing havoc in Heaven.
Therefore, there is still plenty of time.
On Shuangcha Ridge, jackals, tigers, and leopards trembled with fear, completely afraid to move.
Only after the golden clouds over Yaotai had disappeared into the distance did the group of demons finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I wonder who this person is, their strength is so great."
"Luckily, they ignored us."
"If only I could seek refuge with that deity and achieve perfect merit, that would be wonderful."
The little demons were talking about Xu Xian and the Third Holy Mother when they suddenly felt a strange voice coming from the bottom of their hearts.
"Twelve hundred years later, a monk who has cultivated for ten lifetimes will travel westward. If you eat a piece of his flesh, you will attain perfect merit and live as long as heaven."
The monsters, not understanding why, simply noted it down silently.
Black Wind Mountain, the bear-like monster was meditating cross-legged.
This creature is truly different from ordinary bears; it is indeed endowed with extraordinary talents.
Even if Black Wind Mountain wasn't exactly a blessed land, this demon, aside from using the pills in its pillow, had no other cultivation methods.
Yet, within a mere century, it reached level 43.
He was already considered a demon king.
On this day, the bear monster was cultivating when he suddenly heard a faint voice in his mind.
"Where is my disciple?"
The bear-like monster frowned, treating it as if it were just a gust of wind passing by, and didn't intend to pay it any attention.
Just as he was about to continue his cultivation, he suddenly jumped up with a start, quickly went to the top of the mountain, and knelt down in worship.
"Master, is that you?"
Xu Xian revealed his true form and landed in front of the bear monster together with the Third Holy Mother.
The bear monster was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed: "Disciple greets Master and Mistress—Mistress, what happened to you? How did you become like this?"
The bear monster was indeed a bit simple-minded, actually mistaking the Third Holy Mother for Bai Suzhen.
Xu Xian didn't explain, but simply demonstrated his skills to test him.
The bear-like monster fruit is truly powerful.
Even though he was only level 43 before, his physical strength and martial arts skills surpassed those of most demon kings.
"Very good, it seems you haven't been slacking off."
The bear monster was beaten black and blue, but he was also happy: "Reporting to Master, in the past hundred years, your disciple has indeed not dared to slack off in the slightest."
"Very good, come with me."
After saying this, Xu Xian mounted the Jade Terrace Golden Cloud and led the Third Holy Mother and the Bear Monster westward together.
The Holy Mother of the Third Princess stood side by side with Xu Xian, while the Bear Monster stepped back a distance to serve her.
Xu Xian flew on a cloud and soon passed Fuling Mountain, Wanshou Mountain, and Liusha River.
They only descended from the clouds at White Tiger Ridge to examine the mountain more closely.
Not long after, Xu Xian discovered a skeleton in the mountains.
It's the White Bone Demon!
Although this monster was weak, it caused a lot of trouble for the pilgrims on their journey to the West.
It can be considered one of the most famous tribulations on the journey to the West.
Unfortunately, at this time, the White Bone Demon was still just a mortal, not yet a spirit, and had no spirituality whatsoever.
Xu Xian looked at the bone and gently touched it with his finger.
Then a golden light, accompanied by countless streams of immortal energy, entered the white bones.
The words "Lady White Bone" immediately appeared on the spine of the skeleton.
The spirit nature of the white bones has already manifested!
The skeleton's body creaked and rattled, and soon it stood up like a human.
The skull's eyes emitted ghostly flames, as if it were probing Xu Xian and his companions.
A moment later, the skeleton knelt down with difficulty.
Xu Xian ignored it and rode away on the golden clouds of Yaotai.
The next leg of the journey was a bit long.
The calamities here are caused by Kui Mulang, Jinjiao Yinjiao, and Qing Shi Jing, each with their own background.
Moreover, at this time they had not yet descended to earth to become demons, and the mountains were relatively peaceful.
Only a few barely human monsters occupy the mountain and rule as kings; they are not worth mentioning.
Continuing westward, one encounters monsters such as Red Boy, the Crocodile Dragon Monster, and the Three Demons of Chechi Kingdom.
Xu Xian still didn't think much of it.
The three rode the clouds westward until they reached Huanghua Temple, where they finally stopped.
This is where the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and the Spider Demon cultivated.
Of course, there were no yellow flowers to be seen here at that time.
Xu Xian calculated the time and decided to stay there for a few days.
Then he blew a breath of immortal energy, and a magnificent Taoist temple rose from the ground. It was Huanghua Temple!
The temple enshrines the Three Pure Ones and also has a furnace for burning immortal herbs, surrounded by celestial energy, making it quite magnificent.
Xu Xian transformed himself into the abbot of Huanghua Temple and waited quietly.
Three days later, a centipede about ten feet long arrived at the Huanghua Temple with seven spider demons and knocked on the door.
The bear monster led in eight demons, who transformed into human form and immediately bowed in worship.
Xu Xian laughed and asked, "Why are you all bowing to me?"
The Seven Eccentrics said, "We are wandering cultivators from the wilderness, yearning for the path of Quanzhen, and therefore we have come to seek your tutelage."
Xu Xian had come specifically to take on a disciple, so he naturally agreed.
He stayed there for half a month, passing down the Prescription for Nourishing Life, which helped eight demons cultivate the true methods of Taoism.
Before leaving, Xu Xian entrusted the Yellow Flower Temple to the centipede demon and said, "Cultivate well and take good care of your junior sister. A hundred years from now, I will come here to test your cultivation results."
The centipede demon knelt on the ground, moved to tears of gratitude.
The seven spider demons also knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces: "Take care, Master."
Xu Xian laughed and said, "You all have your own innate talents and supernatural abilities. Cultivate diligently, and you may be able to achieve enlightenment in the future."
"yes!"
Xu Xian rode on auspicious clouds, leading the Third Holy Mother and the bear monster westward to investigate several spirits.
Another half month later, Xu Xian touched the bear monster's forehead and said, "Head north to Buzhou Mountain in Beiju Luzhou."
The bear-like monster immediately cupped its hands in greeting: "Yes!"
The Holy Mother asked in confusion, "What, aren't we going?"
"Let's go somewhere else."
The Third Holy Mother's eyes gleamed with greed: "That's right, the Dragon Palaces of the East Sea, West Sea, and North Sea all have treasures, let's take them."
Xu Xian shook his head and said, "Taking the Will-Fulfilling Iron Pole Weapon is not a big deal. If we really plunder the four seas, there might be trouble. Let's let the Old Dragon King go for now."
"So—where are we going?"
"Zhongshan!"
The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms was startled and terrified!
As the niece of the Jade Emperor and the younger sister of Erlang Shen, the Third Holy Mother naturally understood the ancient deities.
She knew that Zhongshan was the sacred site of the ancient Zhulong.
This is a truly divine being who created the world; no god or Buddha in the heavens dares to approach or provoke him.
What was Xu Xian's purpose in going to Zhongshan at this time?
Xu Xian patted the Third Holy Mother's head and laughed, "Of course, we're going to pick up your sister."
"Sister—Sister is Zhulong?!"
Xu Xian was startled and immediately covered the Third Holy Mother's mouth.
"What are you thinking?!"
"Keep your voice down!"
"If Zhulong hears this, he'll definitely give you a good beating!"
"How reckless!"
The Third Holy Mother said, looking aggrieved, "But Zhongshan only has one deity, Zhulong. Besides, isn't my sister some kind of rock, grass, or tree? You have this kind of peculiar hobby?"
"No! Let's go!"
Xu Xian rode the Jade Terrace Golden Cloud and headed straight for Zhongshan.
Yaotai Jinyun moves extremely fast, making it entirely possible to travel to the North Sea in the morning and bathe in Cangwu in the evening.
However, at this time, Yaotai Jinyun was severely restricted.
There seem to be extremely harsh laws surrounding Zhongshan Mountain, restricting all supernatural powers.
The closer Xu Xian and his companion got to Zhongshan, the slower they became.
The short journey took three to five days, until they could no longer go any further.
Xu Xian looked around and saw that the world was a vast expanse of white.
The rules of the entire world seemed to be completely suppressed by powerful beings.
"As expected of the great god Zhulong, he is truly terrifying."
Xu Xian sighed in admiration, when suddenly a familiar voice came from the vast expanse.
"My lord?"
