In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

The domineering and blazing pure yang divine light caused the scorpion demon to reveal its true form.

At this moment, Liu Er transformed into a handsome young man and took the golden cauldron.

He sneered at the scorpions scurrying around inside.

They refuse to listen to reason and will instead suffer the consequences; they completely fail to appreciate kindness.

"Don't be unconvinced, Your Excellency. Your golden cauldron is similar to the Buddha's golden bowl. You were able to sting the Buddha and escape from Mount Ling. That was because the Buddha was scheming against you and didn't hold it against you."

After putting away the golden cauldron, Liu Er went directly to the place where Tang Sanzang was imprisoned.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang was unconscious. After drinking a bowl of divine water, the first thing Tang Sanzang saw upon waking up was a handsome young man.

"Elder Tang has awakened. I am Liu Er from Xuanzhen Temple. I was passing by when Elder Tang was captured by Lady Pipa and the Scorpion Demon. I have come to help you."

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's expression changed slightly.

Xuanzhen Temple?

It seems they've clashed with Xuanzhen Temple recently, and they just destroyed one of its branch temples on Jieyang Mountain.

Unexpectedly, he has now encountered people from Xuanzhen Temple again, and they are the ones who saved him.

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk Xuanzang greets the venerable immortal!"

So young, and able to find himself in the demon's cave, he must be a Taoist immortal.

"Elder, there's no need for such formalities. This time, the abbot ordered me to come and investigate the Xuanzhen Temple in Xiniu Hezhou."

Passing by this place, I saw this evil spirit causing trouble and acted on it. Now that the evil spirit in the cave has been eliminated, I will send the elder out and await the Great Sage's arrival to receive him.

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's expression changed slightly.

......... .. 0

I came here on the orders of the abbot to investigate the affairs of Xuanzhen Temple. Aren't they the ones I'm looking for?

However, there was no trouble as Tang Sanzang had imagined. When the Six-Eared Macaque led Tang Sanzang out of the Pipa Cave, he summoned the local mountain gods and earth gods to protect Tang Sanzang and wait for Sun Wukong to bring him back.

He then rode away on a cloud without the slightest hesitation.

Namo Amitabha!

Tang Sanzang gazed in the direction the Six-Eared Macaque had left, his face filled with remorse.

Undoubtedly, Tang Sanzang truly believed that the other party knew nothing.

Considering that they demolish people's temples everywhere, yet others still lend a helping hand without their knowledge, it's clear that we are indeed not human.

The local earth god and mountain god also looked in awe in the direction the Six-Eared Macaque had left, and couldn't help but explain to Tang Sanzang:

"Elder Tang is really lucky this time. I never expected that a master would come out of the mountains and subdue that scorpion demon."

"What do you say about this, immortals?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang looked at the local earth god and mountain god with suspicion, wondering if there was some other explanation behind it.

"Elder, you may not know, but Lady Pipa of Poisonous Enemy Mountain is of extraordinary origin and extremely powerful. Even the Great Sage might not be able to subdue her."

"so smart?"

"Of course, when the Buddha was preaching, this scorpion demon..."

The local earth god and mountain god explained the origins of the scorpion demon and its formidable power, stating that even Guanyin herself might not dare to approach it, let alone Sun Wukong.

For a moment, Tang Sanzang was not only shocked, but also felt extremely guilty.

Unexpectedly, after destroying so many temples of Xuanzhen Temple along the way, they finally encountered a formidable enemy, who ultimately saved them.

Chapter 149 Chonglou's Great Calamity

"Lord God of War!"

The Six-Eared Macaque handed the Golden Cauldron to Chonglou without the slightest reluctance.

This is Zhang Xiaoshan's natal magic weapon. Although the Six-Eared Macaque was envious, he knew that the cauldron was a treasure of great fortune and could not be compared with ordinary acquired magic weapons.

Inside the golden cauldron, a purplish-gold venomous scorpion was baring its fangs and claws, constantly striking the inner wall of the cauldron, trying to break free.

With a flick of his wrist, Chonglou sent the scorpion demon free from the golden cauldron's suppression, which then appeared inside the main hall.

The scorpion demon that had just emerged was as fast as lightning, launching a surprise attack on Chonglou, who was holding the golden cauldron. Even the Six-Eared Macaque could only see a flash of black light, making it impossible to defend against.

However, the black light and Chonglou were blocked by a golden light, which was the Innate Divine Halberd blocking Chonglou's way.

"You have some skill; no wonder you're a rare and extraordinary species!"

If she weren't a rare and powerful creature from the primordial era, the Scorpion Demon wouldn't possess such a top-tier supernatural ability as the "Nine-Three-Seven" Poison Sting, and without cultivating profound skills, her strength would be no less than that of Sun Wukong.

It's important to know that Sun Wukong's strength is among the top of the third-generation disciples in the entire Xuanmen sect.

Moreover, the pure yang divine light can suppress all kinds of yin and evil. This scorpion demon had already dissipated most of its magic power inside the golden cauldron, yet it still attacked with such speed, which shows that its true form is a venomous scorpion.

"Are you the God of War of Jade Empire?"

Armored in gold and wielding a golden halberd, and even able to block her poisonous stingers, the scorpion demon quickly realized Chonglou's identity.

Even a powerful demon monkey like Liu Er bowed down and obeyed his orders; such a powerful being in the Three Realms is extremely rare.

And there was only one person dressed like that!

"Little scorpion, don't think I'm trying to harm you."

If it weren't for Liu Er bringing you here, you would already be a dead scorpion. Even my golden cauldron can trap you, let alone the Buddha's golden alms bowl.

Your escape from Mount Ling was nothing more than a scheme orchestrated by the Buddha on the journey to the West.

Upon hearing this, the scorpion demon retracted its previously unrestrained and arrogant scorpion tail, and looked at the golden cauldron in Chonglou's hand with a hint of apprehension.

Indeed, if the golden cauldron could trap her, then the Buddha's golden alms bowl should be able to as well.

Moreover, Jin Ding has already captured her, and given Chong Lou's achievements in the Three Realms, she is simply no match for him.

Why did the God of War save me?

"Naturally, it's to bring you under our control. Your potential is considerable, and your 'poisonous sting' technique is top-notch. It would be a pity if you were to die under the schemes of the Buddhist sect, which would be a waste of your cultivation."

Currently, there are very few experts left in the temple, and I am also planning a great calamity that will last for a thousand years. Therefore, I cannot remain in the temple to oversee things for the time being.

"A millennium calamity?"

Upon hearing this, the scorpion demon's eyes immediately revealed a hint of fear.

She immediately realized that she was already at the mercy of others, with no choice in the matter, so she lowered her head and said:

"This lowly demon greets Your Excellency!"

Chonglou was not surprised at all by the Scorpion Demon's submission.

Those who understand the times are wise, and the scorpion demon, being intelligent, naturally knew how to choose. So, with a flick of her finger, a golden light entered the scorpion demon's brow.

"I bestow upon you the name 'Evil Color' and the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique to help you restore your strength and condense your former demon god bloodline!"

After the golden light entered her body, the scorpion demon instinctively felt a surge of divine power within her, and then transformed back into human form.

At the same time, the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique in Genshin Impact greatly excited the Scorpion Demon, who lowered her head and kowtowed, saying:

"Your Excellency, I thank you for bestowing this power upon me!"

Having realized the profound power of the Nine Revolutions Demon God Technique, a wondrous method that could help her reach even higher realms in the future, the Scorpion Demon truly submitted this time.

"Rise. From now on, you will cultivate within the temple. I will soon begin the Great Tribulation of a Thousand Autumns, and you will be in charge of the temple from now on!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Although she didn't understand what Chonglou meant by the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns, the Scorpion Demon knew such a secret, which was not something a little demon who had just joined the temple could know.

Then, Chonglou sent the golden cauldron in his hand into the void and looked at the Six-Eared Macaque, saying:

"Six Ears, your calamity has arrived. Beware of the Buddha's golden bowl."

Just as the Golden Cauldron trapped the lustful demon, this cauldron also possesses the power to subdue evil. Once you enter it, you will be doomed. At the crucial moment, you can unleash the power of the Willful Iron Staff to seek a glimmer of hope!

"Yes, my lord!"

The Six-Eared Macaque bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Watching the Six-Eared Macaque leave, the Scorpion Demon looked at Chonglou with a puzzled expression.

She was taken out of the tribulation by Liu Er, so why did Liu Er have to go through the tribulation himself?

Your confusion is all determined by cause and effect.

When you heard the Dharma and hid the Buddha, you became a calamity on your journey to the West, thus fulfilling the cause and effect of that year.

Six-Eared Macaque was one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys, having cultivated for five hundred years. Logically, he should have achieved perfect merit, but his karmic connection with Sun Wukong lies in this tribulation, preventing him from attaining enlightenment...

"Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

"Six Ears is still stronger than Sun Wukong, and this tribulation is the Mind Monkey Tribulation. If Six Ears withdraws in time, it can escape the tribulation; if it wants to take a gamble and use Tathagata's hand to break through the sixth level of the profound skill, then its life or death in this tribulation is unknown."

"Sixth level of profound skill?"

Upon hearing this, the scorpion demon couldn't help but look warily in the direction where Six Ears had left.

So that's how it is. You must know that Liu Er, at the peak of the fifth level of Xuan Gong, is already no less powerful than her. If Liu Er were to break through to the sixth level of Xuan Gong, then she might not be able to defeat him in a hundred moves. No wonder Liu Er didn't enter the tribulation with any waves.

Even someone at that level would take a gamble.

"As for my own great calamity, it is the same!"

I have been stuck at the peak of the sixth level for five hundred years. This time, I wish to borrow the fortune of Buddhism to help me break through to the seventh level of the profound skill.

The calamity of a thousand years is plotted a thousand years from now.

Seventh level of profound skill!

Hearing about Chonglou's plan, the scorpion demon was also horrified.

You should know that when Chonglou reached the peak of the sixth level of Xuan Gong, he could fight against the ten demon kings alone. If he reached the seventh level of Xuan Gong, wouldn't his strength be comparable to that of Tathagata?

"What need does Your Excellency have for this calamity, sir?"

"The key to this tribulation lies in the rise and fall of demons and the decline of the Dao a thousand years from now. If you enter this tribulation, you will surely be reduced to ashes."

The scorpion demon was startled upon hearing this, not expecting the ordeal to be so perilous.

Immediately, the scorpion demon realized that since Chonglou dared to plot in this way, he must have a plan to escape the calamity.

At this time, the Six-Eared Macaque turned back on his journey westward. Just then, Sun Wukong was demoted again by Tang Sanzang for killing someone, which gave the Six-Eared Macaque an opportunity.

This tribulation is the tribulation of the Mind Monkey, which will settle the karmic debt between the Six-Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong, thus a contest is inevitable.

The key is to find the right balance.

If the Six-Eared Macaque had withdrawn in time and hadn't gone to the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling, there would naturally have been no danger.

After all, the Six-Eared Macaque was also a protector of the Xuanmen sect, and his status was no lower than that of Sun Wukong's Buddhist protector.

However, if they go to the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Western Paradise, the key is whether the Six-Eared Macaque can escape from the Great Thunderclap Temple. Even the Golden-Winged Roc cannot escape the Buddha's golden bowl.

Moreover, the Buddhist community is filled with countless masters: the Four Great Bodhisattvas, the Eighteen Arhats, and Buddhas from all heavens...

Therefore, the Six-Eared Macaque was gambling entirely; even a top-grade innate spiritual treasure like the Willful Iron Staff might not be able to protect him completely.

Chapter 1050 The True and False Monkey Kings

"You demon monkey!"

When the real and fake Monkey Kings meet, enemies, Sun Wukong immediately recognizes the other's identity.

This feeling of being a lifelong enemy, and the ability to escape the watchful eyes of the discerning eye, is unique to this monkey in the Three Realms. There is only one such monkey, and that is the one who previously impersonated him to rule Flower Fruit Mountain.

Moreover, the young sword master had previously given many hints that they would meet on their journey to the west.

Clearly, this is the opportune moment for the other party to appear.

When he was at odds with Tang Sanzang, he took the opportunity to sow discord between them and even replace him.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong grabbed the Ruyi Jingu Bang and charged forward, hoping to gain the upper hand by relying on its invincible power.

However, the Six-Eared Macaque fought the Heavenly Emperor for five hundred years, and his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Iron Staff) was no less powerful than the Golden Cudgel.
