Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#874 - The hidden sect applied for war and set foot on the journey to the west

Zhenyuanzi raised his finger excitedly, pointing at the disciple he had always cherished the most. Zhenyuanzi's hand was trembling.

Yuanshi Tianzun stepped forward, blocking Yuyuanzi, and said to Zhenyuanzi indifferently:

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, please don't be agitated. Your cultivation is still regressing and hasn't completely stopped. If you get agitated to the point of your cultivation collapsing, I'm afraid it won't just be a simple matter of falling to the middle-stage quasi-sage."

"The magic power I left in your body can only protect you for six days. If you can't revive the Ginseng Fruit Tree within six days, I'm afraid your cultivation will plummet again."

"We are friends after all, and I have done my best. I advise you to go back early and save the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Yuanshi Tianzun's face was full of concern, but Zhenyuanzi saw a deep-seated indifference between his eyebrows!

Zhenyuanzi was furious. His friend had schemed against him, the foundation of his Dao was overthrown, and his most beloved disciple had betrayed him!

In an instant, Zhenyuanzi went from being a high and mighty, self-sufficient ancestor of the earth immortals to a pawn abandoned by all.

This sudden change in status filled Zhenyuanzi's heart with endless grief and indignation.

But for the present, it was impossible for Zhenyuanzi to fall out with Yuanshi Tianzun. After all, it was unrealistic, especially since Zhenyuanzi was now just a mere middle-stage mighty figure.

Even his eldest disciple was stronger than Zhenyuanzi.

At this moment, Real Person Huanglong stepped forward and said to Yuyuanzi:

"Good junior brother, you can cultivate by my side from now on. Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, farewell."

Real Person Huanglong, relying on Zhenyuanzi's weakness, had the intention of teasing him, so he stepped forward and faced Zhenyuanzi with cold eyes.

Zhenyuanzi was almost angered to the point of fainting, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Yuanshi Tianzun, I will definitely visit again in the future to thank you for your kindness in preaching today!"

"Let's go!"

Zhenyuanzi's implication was already very clear: colluding with the Western Heaven to lure the tiger away from the mountain and steal his home. Today's revenge will be repaid in the future!

Zhenyuanzi's other disciples remained silent about the betrayal of their eldest brother, and dared not offer any advice.

They also dared not glare at Yuanshi Tianzun, but lowered their heads and followed Zhenyuanzi away.

The Grand Master Lingbao next to him twitched his lips. He didn't think much of this person who liked to show off but had no brains, but he wouldn't reprimand him either.

Real Person Huanglong should be considered one of the most embarrassing of the Twelve Golden Immortals in the Chan sect. He is also known as the Four-Nothing Daoist.

The Four-Nothing Daoist: no magic power, no disciples, no brains, and never wins, always loses.

His most dazzling achievement was being subdued by the Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui with a golden hoop in one round.

If it weren't for Yuanshi Tianzun's rescue, Real Person Huanglong would already be a prisoner of the Intercept sect.

Moreover, he helped guard Xiqi before, fought Lü Yue, and was chased everywhere, and was rescued by his nephew Nezha Yang Jian. One can imagine how awesome this person is.

Of course, the existence of Real Person Huanglong as a background board is not without its meaning.

At least, Yuanshi Tianzun already wanted to slap this disciple.

Grand Master Lingbao whispered in Real Person Huanglong's ear:

"Good junior brother, do you know that Ma Sui has been born, and has joined the Heavenly Court under Gouchen's command."

Real Person Huanglong's triumphant mockery instantly turned into a wry smile, and he could only retreat dejectedly.

Grand Master Lingbao rolled his eyes and respectfully said to Yuanshi Tianzun:

"Master, now that Zhenyuanzi is already in the trap, he will ask the Western Heaven for help later. Should we remind Junior Brother Cihang… Junior Sister, to make plans early?"

"Zhenyuanzi is also a powerful helper, and he has a few decent disciples. It would not be a waste to recruit them under the command of the senior brothers."

This was also the Chan sect's plan. Although four of the Twelve Golden Immortals had left after the Conferred Gods Ceremony, Yuanshi Tianzun did not intend to give these four disciples to the Western Heaven for nothing.

Therefore, the negotiation with the Western Heaven on this tribulation was to divide and eat Zhenyuanzi.

The Western Heaven would subdue Zhenyuanzi, while Yuanshi Tianzun would turn Zhenyuanzi's disciples into his own grand-disciples.

Originally, this was already planned.

But Yuanshi Tianzun frowned.

For some reason, Yuanshi Tianzun always felt a sense of unease in his heart.

He frowned and calculated again and again, but could not figure out why.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were cold, "Don't go yet, there have been variables."

"You can teach Huanglong to go to the lower realm to investigate the situation, and wait until Zhenyuanzi completely submits to the Western Heaven before taking action."

Yuanshi Tianzun just looked indifferently at everything in front of him, and secretly calculated in his heart.

This time, Yuanshi Tianzun cooperated with the Western Heaven. The Western Heaven wanted to subdue Zhenyuanzi, and Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to dig away Yuyuanzi.

So far, everything seems to be going very smoothly. At least Yuanshi Tianzun has already gotten what he wanted.

That's enough.

It would be better to have those other disciples, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't.

Grand Master Lingbao and Real Person Huanglong lowered their heads.

"Yes!"

Real Person Huanglong did not shirk at all. Although he was recognized as a loser, things are different now.

After the Conferred Gods Ceremony, Real Person Huanglong also gained many benefits. He was reborn after being broken, and now he is also a real mighty figure.

If he were to meet the Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui again, Real Person Huanglong was confident that he would not be easily defeated by the golden hoop!

Moreover, after the Conferred Gods Tribulation, Yuanshi Tianzun took all his disciples to practice outside the Three Realms. Real Person Huanglong couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to go to the lower realm long ago.

Now that he received this order, he naturally left happily.

Real Person Huanglong's descent to the lower realm was not in the plan.

Because the Chan sect originally did not intend to take action personally, but Yuanshi Tianzun calculated that the anomaly was shielding the secrets of heaven, and also knew that the great tribulation had arisen and chaos was coming.

Fearing unexpected complications, he let Real Person Huanglong enter the field and take the benefits and run away early.

This was the first time the Chan sect had intervened in the Journey to the West since the Journey to the West tribulation.

On the chessboard of the Journey to the West, there was another chess player.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were deep, and he sighed,

"No one can escape the current great tribulation! If you had submitted to me earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this… You are just self-righteous and don't know how to appreciate it."

… …

At this moment, in the Wuzhuang Temple.

Chu Hao woke up from a sleep, but heard a crisp system prompt in his ear.

[Congratulations on checking in on time]

[Check-in reward: Twenty Ginseng Fruits]

Chu Hao shook his head somewhat lazily,

Why is it Ginseng Fruit again?

Why can't this afternoon tea be changed?

Alas, when will I have to eat this? Can't there be some exciting tasks?

Then, the system came to life!
