Sun Wukong meets with Zhao Feng and Ying Zheng. Zhao Feng reveals that a great calamity is imminent and that Sun Wukong is a key participant. To initiate this calamity and prevent the realm's destruction, Zhao Feng instructs Sun Wukong to follow the Buddhist Sect's arrangements, providing him with a powerful protective artifact to ensure his safety.

"Thank you, Senior." Sun Wukong immediately expressed his gratitude.

At this moment, Sun Wukong also sensed a small flag within his body, which seemed extremely powerful.

"In any case,"

"Once the Buddhist Sect begins to manipulate things, let you enter the game."

"Follow them, and if there's any benefit, take whatever you can, don't be polite."

"Pills, divine weapons, magical treasures, cultivation technique books, if you can take them, take them; if not, then consume them. The same goes for secret technique books, remember them if you can." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Understood." Sun Wukong also nodded earnestly.

Although he was unaware of these unknowns, whatever the senior said must be correct.

Buddhist scriptures!

Profound foundation.

Though the Qin has now established the Heavenly Court, seemingly strong, the Heavenly Court cannot overpower the Qin; yet ultimately, the Qin's foundation is still far from adequate.

Especially in divine skill inheritance.

Cultivation technique books and various auxiliary paths.

These are far from sufficient.

Now the Qin's fundamentals rely on the Tian Xuan Mirror, where many strong figures deduce cultivation techniques and create divine skills.

Compared to the genuine divine skills created by saints, these are still much weaker.

If Sun Wukong can utilize the opportunity to enter the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court, the Immortals and Buddhas will turn a blind eye to him for the sake of advancing the tribulation and seizing its fruits—this is a chance for the Qin to seize inheritance!

In summary!

As long as Sun Wukong uses it well, opportunities will be plentiful.

"Father,"

"Is there anything else you want to instruct?"

Zhao Feng turned his head with a smile at Ying Zheng.

"Everything that needs to be instructed has been given."

"I have nothing more to add."

"However, Wukong,"

"Ultimately, those Immortals and Buddhas are not of the Qin. They won't treat you sincerely, you must be cautious." Ying Zheng also advised Sun Wukong.

Feeling Ying Zheng's concern, Sun Wukong was also deeply touched and nodded heavily, "Your Majesty the Qin Emperor, I understand, I will definitely complete the tasks given by the senior, and I will definitely become stronger. I will return when the tribulation ends."

"Haha."

"Good."

"I will wait for your return."

Ying Zheng laughed heartily, showing a great fondness for this monkey.

"Within your Tian Xuan Mirror, I have left a mark for you. If anything arises, you can directly inform me." Zhao Feng also said.

"I understand." Sun Wukong nodded immediately.

Coming to his senses.

"Am I waiting for the people from the Buddhist Sect to come and fetch me, or should I fly over directly?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.

Now, he is in the Martial Arts Great Power Realm, easily able to slay Human Immortals or battle Earth Immortals.

Certainly no longer the stone monkey from his first arrival at Aolai State.

"The way you came originally, now is the way you should go."

"The people of the Buddhist Sect will naturally act."

Zhao Feng smiled.

Then, he waved his hand.

A surge of power enveloped Sun Wukong.

Without giving Sun Wukong any chance to react, a Void Channel was instantly opened, and Sun Wukong was directly thrown into it.

On the eastern sea surface of Aolai State.

The Void Channel opened.

Sun Wukong's figure fell directly from above, landing straight on the raft he had once arrived on.

"I'm out."

Hidden above the East Sea, the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra of the Buddhist Sect saw Sun Wukong landing on the raft and immediately showed a smile of joy.

"The Qin Court really kept its promise."

"Five years, they've really returned the stone monkey." Samantabhadra pondered thoughtfully.

"However,"

"Returning the stone monkey also means the Qin Court has handed control of the tribulation back to our Buddhist Sect."

As the tribulation begins, all living beings may fall, and any forces could be wiped out. Yet, whoever holds the reins, everything about the future changes." Samantabhadra sneered inwardly.

Then.

He activated his mana.

A surge of power struck Sun Wukong's raft.

The raft moved without wind, without waves, heading rapidly towards the direction of the Nan Zhanbu Continent.

On the raft.

Sun Wukong naturally sensed the mana fluctuation enveloping the raft.

Now he is no longer the stone monkey who first arrived at Aolai State, but a martial artist of the Martial Arts Great Power Realm of the Qin.

"The senior said,"

"After leaving Aolai State, go along with the Buddhist Sect's arrangements, don't resist."

"Get benefits as much as possible."

"The person behind this mana must be from the Buddhist Sect."

Sun Wukong thought quietly.

Then.

Sun Wukong pretended not to notice, lying on the raft quietly waiting.

Above the Void.

Seeing Sun Wukong on the raft without any fear, Samantabhadra was quite surprised. "Moving without wind, doesn't this stone monkey fear?"

"And for these five years, the Qin Court actually didn't teach the stone monkey any cultivation methods?"

"Then over these five years, what exactly did the Qin Court do with the stone monkey?"

Samantabhadra reached the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal.

He could advance to Buddha's position with one more step, showing his considerable strength.

However, under his scrutiny.

Sun Wukong showed no signs of cultivation, not even spiritual power.

This made him perplexed, wondering what the Qin had actually done to Sun Wukong over the years; surely it couldn't be nothing.

Concealing cultivation!

If it were Sun Wukong's own strength, he certainly couldn't manage it, but upon his departure, Zhao Feng endowed Sun Wukong with the Earth Leaving Flame Light Flag. With this spiritual treasure as the main guard, it protected Sun Wukong's physical body and divine soul; unless Sun Wukong himself reveals it, unless it's a saint, only a Quasi-Saint Great Perfection level expert could see through Sun Wukong's reality.

"Never mind."

"First complete Buddha's instructed task by sending this stone monkey to the Mountain of Mind and Heart and continue."

After pondering for a moment, Samantabhadra was too lazy to think further.

Immediately activating his mana, distorting the Void, the raft sailed along the sea surface towards the Nan Zhanbu Continent.

From the raft, everything seemed normal in speed, but space was distorted; the raft was moving towards the Nan Zhanbu Continent at a speed akin to shattering the Void.

For cultivators below Daluo, it originally took ten to fifteen days to travel from the Eastern Continent to the Nan Zhanbu Continent, yet now Sun Wukong on the raft, in just a few days, found himself on the coast of the Nan Zhanbu Continent.

"Senior Xu Puti,"

"The stone monkey has reached the Nan Zhanbu Continent."

"Next, I leave it to you." Upon arriving at the Nan Zhanbu Continent, Samantabhadra immediately addressed Xu Puti, who was hidden.

"You may go."

A voice, ethereal and elusive, spread.

Then.

The raft was taken over by another force.

Sun Wukong ended up marked by this mana.

Seeing this.

Samantabhadra smiled contentedly and broke through the Void towards Spirit Mountain in secret.

"Is it already ashore?"

"Could it be that we have arrived at the Nan Zhanbu Continent?"

Seeing the raft had landed, Sun Wukong was greatly surprised. Without much thought, he stepped off the raft.

Then walked towards the shore, scanning the surroundings.

But as he walked.

The space before Sun Wukong changed again, with one step spanning a thousand miles, inch to thousand miles, and the power of divine skills.

It seemed to intentionally guide Sun Wukong to a certain place.

As Sun Wukong walked step by step, under the guiding force.

Sun Wukong arrived inside a mountain forest, surrounded by towering peaks reaching into the clouds, any ordinary being coming here would marvel at the endless power of the heavens and earth.

"Where did this monkey come from, wearing clothes?"

After entering the forest, a woodcutter approached with a few traces of curiosity looking at Sun Wukong.

"Could this be a person of the Buddhist Sect?"

Sun Wukong's mind stirred but outwardly he feigned ignorance, scratching his head and asking, "May I ask if you're an immortal? I... I am from the Hou Clan of Huaguo Mountain, Kingdom of Aolai, Eastern Continent, seeking the Immortal Mountain to attain immortality."

Upon hearing!

The woodcutter smiled, "I am not an immortal, but there does exist an immortal on the mountain, possessing great divine abilities to alter skies and worlds! If you wish to seek the way of immortality, then go up the mountain!"
