Chapter 214 Schemes, Crossing the Sea
"A better idea?"
Sui Yun looked at Feng Qingzi with suspicion.
Ultimately, there is only one Dao fruit in the new Dao.
Those who obtain the Dao Fruit will be the biggest beneficiaries.
Of course, if you're not that ambitious.
Just like ordinary people, they dream of gaining merit by following the emperor, and who knows if they will one day rule a realm.
"Yu Chen Daoist has stripped ninety-nine percent of that Dao Lord's Dao Fruit. Now, he too has been brought into this Samsara Sacred Realm by a demon monkey. We don't need to confront that troublesome new Dao Lord head-on; we can simply obtain that Dao Fruit. Perhaps, you and I can even replace that new Dao Lord. What do you think?"
To plot the Dao Fruition of the new Dao Master?
Sui Yun had a lot of complaints stuck in his throat, not knowing how to get them out.
The boldest idea he ever had was that he would have incredible luck and successfully complete the mission, killing the new Path Master.
Another option is to pledge allegiance to the new leader, become his henchmen, and eke out a living under his overwhelming power.
As for plotting to seize the new Dao Dao fruit?
He wouldn't even dare to think about it if he had ten lives!
Besides, if you can fancy the new Dao Fruit, why wouldn't those powerful immortals and gods?
What makes you think you can keep this new Dao fruit?
Because you're not very capable?
You think you're so ignorant?
You think you're brainless?
I'm afraid I might have the life to think about it, but not the life to take it.
Sui Yun's lips curled slightly, then returned to normal without a trace.
He has been an immortal for tens of thousands of years, and the ambition he had before becoming an immortal to reach the highest level in the world has long been worn down.
When he was in the mortal realm, he was a peerless genius, a talent rarely seen even once in a millennium.
But after becoming an immortal, people like him become a dime a dozen.
He had long since accepted his mediocrity.
"If you want to take it, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't take me with you. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it."
Sui Yun pretended to be wary and looked Feng Qingzi up and down, feigning that she was not unmoved, but was just restrained and dared not agree.
"Your strength is profound, Immortal, why are you so timid? How about we exchange it for your help in obtaining the Dao Fruit, and I will grant you the position of ruler of a future realm?"
After Feng Qingzi finished speaking, he looked at Sui Yun expectantly.
"Those whose virtue does not match their position will surely suffer calamity. I am but an ordinary immortal, and I dare not harbor such extravagant thoughts. You should not mention it again. It is impossible for you to defeat me now. I advise you to retreat as soon as possible, lest you delay my healing."
Sui Yun remained unmoved and directly ordered them to leave.
Seeing that Sui Yun had a clear understanding of her, Feng Qingzi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, Immortal, you are a rare clear-headed person. It seems that I can tell you the truth about this matter."
Feng Qingzi's behavior surprised Sui Yun.
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Feng Qingzi looked intently at Sui Yun: "Buddhist teachings!"
"Buddhism? What is that?"
"It is quite a coincidence that Mingxing, a friend of the new Dao Lord, came to this world to protect the new Dao Lord."
I used the rules of this secret treasure to restrict him, and just then I sensed the strangeness of the method he was practicing.
...
I'm quite certain that it's also a cultivation method that doesn't require spiritual energy. If you and I were to switch to this path, we could not only avoid the Heavenly Crackdown, but also avoid becoming enemies with the new leader of the new path. Furthermore, since Buddhism isn't a divinely ordained new path, it's a smaller target in the eyes of those beings above. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Feng Qingzi then revealed her entire plan.
He actually had designs on the monk Mingxing.
After hearing what Feng Qingzi had to say, Sui Yun's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.
I don't yet know whether this Buddhist teaching is true or false, but I have plenty of time to verify it. I doubt he would fabricate a lie that is so easily exposed.
But if he wants to make changes, he should just do it secretly by himself. What does it mean to drag me into this?
How can I find a way to survive?
Thinking of this, Sui Yun couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
He didn't believe Feng Qingzi was being so kind.
But the right thing to do now is to get rid of him first.
With my injuries, I don't have time to waste with him.
"This matter is of great importance. As you know, I descended to the mortal realm by the decree of the Patriarch. I need to think about this carefully."
Feng Qingzi knew this was Sui Yun's excuse, but he didn't care much.
The bait has been laid; the fish will bite sooner or later.
"Then this junior will not disturb the immortal's healing any longer. Farewell!"
Feng Qingzi clasped his hands in a fist salute, then transformed into a rainbow and vanished.
Only Sui Yun, lost in thought, remained standing there.
...
the other side
流沙河
The long-silent Sha Wujing suddenly opened his eyes.
He wiggled his fat tail and floated up to the surface of the river, his hand on his brow as he gazed into the distance.
"They've finally come this way? Chen Chunan is here too? Or is it just that good-for-nothing me alone?"
Sha Wujing's expression kept changing.
He has been at this river for fourteen years.
However, in this life, he was born into a demon family, and he was a demon with low aptitude, which is why he has only now formed his Golden Core.
According to their own mission, it would be the right thing to do at this time to cause trouble for Yun Xuanzi and Yu Chen Daoren.
One of them was also a Golden Core cultivator, while the other was still a mortal.
But this world is quite strange; his connection with the Heavenly Dao has been completely obscured.
However, I am not skilled in divination.
Although this world is not as vast as the mortal realm, finding someone here is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
He could only sense the presence of the deity through his connection with the monk Mingxing.
Now he only hopes that Chen Chunan will come with him.
With Chen Chunan there, it means that old bastard Yu Chen Dao Ren is also there.
There is also Yun Xuanzi.
If these two can be eliminated, he will most likely be able to directly enter the Mahayana stage.
Then, he'll have the power to find those hiding old bastards!
As for obstructing Chen Chunan's tenth generation?
That was just wishful thinking on Chen Chunan's part; he didn't even ask for my opinion.
We'll obstruct him for life, then use him to lure two old bastards before killing them—that's a fair trade.
After a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, he slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
...
Meanwhile, the monk Mingxing and Chen Sanzang, completely unaware that they had been tricked, were standing on the shore of the Western Sea.
"Sanzang, we've reached the Western Sea. To reach the Western Continent, we must cross this sea."
The monk Mingxing pointed to the vast ocean and said to Chen Sanzang with some worry.
Chen Sanzang stood on tiptoe and strained to see for a while before replying:
"What a huge sea! We definitely can't swim across, but I've seen people make rafts. If we build one, we should be able to cross this sea."
Let's build a raft?
A string of question marks rose on the forehead of the monk Mingxing.
This is the sea!
It's not the pond in front of your house!
This sea is so vast, it would take at least several years to cross it. And with a raft that's so small, how much stuff can it carry?
What about eating, drinking, and relieving oneself?
What to do when it's stormy and rainy?
Build a raft and cross over? Do you think you're Sun Wukong?
Mingxing, who lived to the 21st century in his previous life, still had a good understanding of the ocean.
He immediately shook his head and said, "How can a raft cross such a vast ocean? We should consider this matter more carefully."
Just as the master and disciple were discussing how to cross the sea, a little dragon girl from the West Sea was being escorted to this area by a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals and settled down.
The newborn female dragon curiously surveyed the place known as Chaotic Cloud Reef.
