With Sun Kong's furious condemnation of Jin Zha and Mu Zha as a prelude, his subsequent conversation with Chan Master Wu Chao became much easier.
They quickly hit it off!
"Brother Sun, if I call you Brother Sun, it shouldn't put you at a disadvantage, right?"
"I'm calculating this based on my Imperial Father's generation, the same as Lady Nuwa."
"It's definitely not a disadvantage!"
"Rather, I, Old Sun, am a bit worried that you, Brother Wu Chao, might feel disadvantaged. However, since you've brought up the elder demon emperor, I naturally won't be too reserved."
"If I call you Brother Wu Chao, it shouldn't put you at a disadvantage, right?"
"How could that be!"
"I, Wu Chao, once had nine brothers, living in harmony and closeness. Unfortunately, our descendants were schemed against, and I've always held a grudge. Now that I have Brother Sun as an elder brother, it's a great blessing! I'm happy, how could I feel at a disadvantage?"
"It's just that my Wu Chao Mountain was destroyed by Ancestor Kunpeng, and I don't have many good things on me to give to this Brother Jin Chanzi next to you."
"How about this, from now on, we each have our own way of addressing each other. I'll call you Big Brother, you'll call me Little Brother. You'll call him Master, and he'll call me Master. What do you say?"
Chan Master Wu Chao's words were indeed the sweetest.
Originally, the relationship between Sun Kong, Jin Chanzi, and Chan Master Wu Chao was very complex, difficult to untangle or explain in a short time.
However, after Chan Master Wu Chao willingly lowered himself and considered himself the younger brother, the matter immediately became simple.
In this way.
All three were satisfied.
On Chan Master Wu Chao's side, he was pleased to accept Jin Chanzi, resolve the karma of the third tribulation, and become his disciple. He also produced a Golden Crow feather as a meeting gift for him.
This demonstrated his goodwill as a master.
It was also a clear understanding that with the unpredictable tribulations ahead, Jin Chanzi would be given necessary protection!
On Jin Chanzi's side, after leaving Tathagata in the past, he had now taken on two masters. His first master was naturally Sun Kong, his only object of loyalty.
Although Chan Master Wu Chao, his second master, had just met him and they were not very familiar, their connection through Sun Kong, coupled with the Golden Crow feather.
It was certainly worth his reverence.
As for Sun Kong, seeing Jin Chanzi and Chan Master Wu Chao complete the ritual of master and disciple, his mood was also quite good.
It wasn't just because he and Jin Chanzi had obtained a total of four Golden Crow feathers from Chan Master Wu Chao.
More importantly, he saw in Chan Master Wu Chao's eyes that not only he and Tathagata intended to cut ties with the Buddhist monks of Spirit Mountain and re-establish the Pure Land of Saha, but this one also had similar sentiments.
It was just.
He didn't know if it was due to similar internal suppression within the Mahayana Buddhism, or because Chan Master Wu Chao had too much karma, even Amitabha, who controlled Mahayana Buddhism.
That is, the good corpse of Daoist Jieyin.
Even he was unwilling to treat Chan Master Wu Chao too well?
"No matter which it is, it's all good news for Old Sun."
"If it's the former, then in the future, when Tathagata establishes the Pure Land of Saha, I will become the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and let Chan Master Wu Chao become the third Buddha. Although we will have to share benefits, it's better than losing this demon prince."
"If it's the latter, then it's even better. Others are wary of their disciples having too much karma and implicating themselves, but I, Old Sun, am not afraid."
"Old Sun hasn't come out to cause trouble on a large scale for five hundred years, shocking others, changing karma, and getting better rewards. Shouldn't I take this opportunity to perform well?"
"I wonder if the subsequent rewards can be a little better, and not always give me mere reverence, or some other useless ordinary innate spiritual treasures."
"At least give me some Pangu essence blood, top-tier cultivation techniques, and the like."
"I don't dare to ask for something like the Journey to the West Gatling, but can't I at least get spiritual treasures like the Chaos Somersault Cloud or the Chaos Golden Cudgel?"
Sun Kong was talking to himself.
He was completely unaware that the Chaos Somersault Cloud and Chaos Golden Cudgel in his hands, though only peak innate spiritual treasures, were extremely rare in the entire Great Desolation, Three Realms.
How many people dreamed of them.
Yet he was so dissatisfied.
Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud.
Otherwise, once outsiders heard it, how many people would be shocked and terrified!
You must know.
Apart from the Chaos Supreme Treasure and Innate Supreme Treasure, these supreme spiritual treasures born before Pangu's creation of heaven and earth, most spiritual treasures appeared after heaven and earth were created.
From this perspective, most half-step Innate Supreme Treasures, peak innate spiritual treasures, half-step peak innate spiritual treasures, ordinary innate spiritual treasures.
And acquired spiritual treasures and acquired merit spiritual treasures.
Are all considered "acquired" in a broad sense.
If it weren't for Hongjun's third sermon and the ensuing years of collecting various spiritual treasures, hanging them on the Treasure Distribution Rock for everyone to take.
Thus enriching the spiritual treasures of countless beings in the Great Desolation, Three Realms.
Otherwise, as of now, apart from Ancestor Hongjun, the Six Saints, and the great Quasi-Saints, others might not even have a single ordinary innate spiritual treasure.
Let alone peak innate spiritual treasures!
To be able to obtain a half-step Innate Supreme Treasure, two peak innate spiritual treasures, and countless ordinary innate spiritual treasures, and still be so dissatisfied.
There is only Sun Kong in the entire Great Desolation, Three Realms!
"Wukong, why don't you come and pay your respects to Chan Master Wu Chao in advance? Although Chan Master is benevolent and righteous to call you Big Brother, it's better for us to follow the proper procedure in front of others."
"Chan Master, Jin Chanzi is today rejoining the Buddhist faith, and from now on, he will do his utmost to complete this Journey to the West tribulation, and dare not fail the expectations of all."
"However, regarding the fourth tribulation, how should it be carried out? I implore Chan Master to give me some guidance."
While Sun Kong was lost in thought, Jin Chanzi here was very clever.
He saw that Sun Kong was planning something else.
He did not disturb him.
He did not startle him.
Instead, he immediately adopted the proper demeanor and first performed the disciple's rite to Chan Master Wu Chao, henceforth recognizing him as his second master.
Then, he feigned ignorance and brought up the fourth tribulation, which everyone knew about, using this opportunity to further gain Chan Master Wu Chao's favor.
Chan Master Wu Chao had initially been humble, wanting Sun Kong to speak, but seeing Sun Kong looking at him with a smile, appearing to trust him completely.
He was deeply moved.
This was the great trust and care that no one in the entire Mahayana Buddhism, including Amitabha, could give him.
This feeling of being respected and valued.
The last time he felt this was when his Imperial Father, Emperor Jun, was alive, and that was several kalpas ago!
"It is still Brother Sun, the Great Sage of the Demon race, who is truly sincere towards this Chan Master!"
"Very well, this Chan Master will presume to recommend himself and explain it well for you."
"Speaking of which, with the Great Sage Sun paving the way for you, this fourth tribulation is incredibly easy, like a child's play. It's called finding relatives and avenging grievances."
"First, find your mother in this life, Yin Wenjiao, and your maternal grandfather, Yin Kaishan, and return to the Chen family."
"Second, have a confrontation with Liu Hong and King Qiangwei Dragon..."
