“Human, beast, Buddha, demon!”
“All beings have their own inherent nature, with inherent qualities that determine their rank. There is no place for disorder. Do you agree?”
The figure of Lingji Bodhisattva gradually dissipated.
The moment the yellow sand vanished.
The unique sound of the three-stringed instrument echoed around once again.
It seemed as if everything had returned to its previous state.
Liu Changkong turned his head.
He immediately put the yellow furred weasel rat away.
As for whether he should crush it with a single strike.
He was still considering it.
But his eyes remained fixed on the surrounding scene.
He also saw that Lingji had truly left.
…
Liu Changkong was somewhat surprised.
He had genuinely thought the Bodhisattva would not be able to hold back and intervene.
Unexpectedly, the Bodhisattva truly acted like a Bodhisattva.
Without going into details.
He had been able to endure the pressure.
And even offered advice before leaving.
He spoke of inherent nature being different and the natural order of things in the world.
Liu Changkong held a different view on this matter.
“As expected of a Bodhisattva, truly magnanimous!”
The yellow-robed wealthy man laughed heartily, his eyes filled with joy: “These past few days while drinking, I’ve seen this man quite often, but I never thought he was a Bodhisattva. I’ve been lacking in manners.”
That’s what he said.
But his gaze was clearly filled with disdain.
Liu Changkong did not say anything more about the man.
He had already made up his mind.
At this time.
The yellow-robed wealthy man once again looked at Liu Changkong.
“When I fought you before, I didn’t think much of it.”
His face filled with intense joy, his voice trembling slightly as he said, “But I never imagined you possessed such capabilities. To directly defeat that Great Saint of Yellow Wind without any external force, your abilities are far superior to the Great Sage Sun of those days!”
When he mentioned the Great Sage Sun.
A look of reminiscence clearly crossed his face.
Liu Changkong simply smiled and said, “Wealthy man, please tell me, how should we deal with this yellow-furred weasel rat?”
“How to deal with it?”
The yellow-robed wealthy man thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: “I don’t know either. Since you possess such skills, then come with me to the ancient country, and let’s see how to deal with it.”
“Ancient country?”
Liu Changkong thought of the S'ha'li country.
The yellow-robed wealthy man threw the gold shard, smiling as he said, “When I left, my older brother entrusted me with this. He said it would come in handy during our journey.”
Liu Changkong casually took the golden shard.
He immediately activated his Divine Eye of Foresight.
He could clearly see the special power contained within.
It seemed to possess the ability to recreate the past.
Under specific conditions.
That thing would directly break free from this world.
He was somewhat surprised.
Liu Changkong looked at the yellow-robed wealthy man, his interest piqued.
But his weapon had been destroyed in the fight.
He couldn’t exactly use the three-pronged steel fork, could he?
Although he had used a steel fork for hunting in the past.
The yellow-robed wealthy man's eyes also fell upon his staff.
He suddenly slapped his forehead, smiling as he said, “It doesn’t matter what weapon you use. It’s simply not worthy of you, but there’s an item in these mountains that might suit you.”
Liu Changkong raised an eyebrow.
So, his own people had also brought a gift?
He looked around, inquiring: “Such a weapon, how do we get it?”
“Follow me.”
The yellow-robed wealthy man transformed into a whirlwind and flew away.
Liu Changkong picked up the three-pronged steel fork.
He used his Gather Form and Scatter Essence, and directly followed after him.
At the stone wall in the distance.
At this moment, Maitreya finally stood up.
He still had a faint smile on his face.
As if he had not seen what had just happened.
“Did you calculate this, Master?”
Maitreya directly asked Yuan Shoucheng.
Yuan Shoucheng gently shook his head, replying, “I only calculated the outcome, but the outcome is different. I do not know the cause, so naturally I can’t calculate the consequences.”
“There are things in this world that even Master cannot calculate.”
Maitreya’s expression was one of teasing amusement. He chuckled, “How interesting, how interesting!”
Yuan Shoucheng also glanced at Maitreya, reminding him, “His next target should be the Little Western Paradise. Your disciple, Yellow Brow, has done many things there, causing trouble for the heavenly deities, destroying the Turtle and Snake Generals, and even causing many casualties among the followers of the national teacher, Wang Bodhisattva…”
“Of course I know.”
Maitreya sighed softly, saying, “That fellow stole my baggage and took the Great Sage’s inherent nature, so his strength is incomparable now. I’m also worried about how to deal with him. You see, even the True Martial Emperor was destroyed by him. I’m just a monk, what can I do?”
Yuan Shoucheng simply smiled.
He had already calculated all of these things.
That is what is known as Heaven’s Decree and Heaven’s Will.
Heaven’s Decree has been set.
He can only calculate and understand it.
But he cannot change it.
…
At another location in Yellow Wind Ridge.
On the crumbling cliff, there were Buddha heads everywhere.
And countless stone spirits patrolled the mountains.
They were watching something.
Liu Changkong stood halfway with the yellow-robed wealthy man.
They were both looking at the large pile of stones ahead.
There seemed to be something on top of it, making people feel apprehensive.
And in front of them.
Countless broken stones were gathering.
They were gradually forming a giant figure.
It was the stone vanguard, the guardian of this place, Yellow Wind Demon’s Stone Vanguard!
