The difference is that everyone's faction, stance, perspective, and interests are different, so their degree of shock and views naturally vary!
...
The chaotic void.
Ancestor Hongjun, who had been secretly sneering not long ago due to Jin Chanzi's cultivation reaching zero, was now showing a rare look of astonishment.
Not for any other reason.
But because the Ten Princes of the ancient demon race, Wuchao Chan Shi, whom even he could not deal with directly back then, had been so easily persuaded by Sun Kong.
Such efficiency was something the Six Saints couldn't achieve.
Why could Sun Kong do it?
Although, with Ancestor Hongjun's Heavenly Dao Saint cultivation, a hundred million Sun Kongs couldn't threaten his interests, but for some reason.
He still felt a faint sense of worry.
It seemed.
The combination of Sun Kong and Wuchao Chan Shi might trigger a series of more violent and terrifying changes that even he couldn't predict.
To put it lightly.
Sun Kong might, as a demon king, lead the demon race to rise again, forming a force that, while not a Saint, was no weaker than a Saint.
To put it seriously.
Perhaps the Chaos Bell, one of the three primordial treasures, which had been lost since its previous owner, Emperor Donghuang, died, and no one had been able to find it.
It might be possible to get some crucial clues from Wuchao Chan Shi's mouth. Once Sun Houzi knew, based on his performance over the past five hundred years.
He was absolutely not to be underestimated!
"Chaos Bell?"
"This thing is indeed not weak in power, and it is the only congenital supreme treasure among the three primordial treasures that has not been infiltrated by the power of the Heavenly Dao."
"If that Sun Houzi were to obtain it, he might indeed stir up some considerable trouble... No, this Dao Ancestor must do something, no matter what."
"Due to the restrictions of the Great Dao, neither the Heavenly Dao nor I can directly interfere in any matters below the Saint level, but this does not mean that this Sun Houzi can truly have his way."
"Although, up to this moment, I still cannot deduce the karma related to Sun Houzi. It seems that this kid's fortuitous encounters are beyond even the Heavenly Dao's knowledge and monitoring."
"But besides you, there are too many people around you that I can act upon. I can pick anyone, for example, Jin Chanzi?"
Thinking of this, Ancestor Hongjun, who was originally calm and composed, and would not act unless the entire Great Desolation Three Realms experienced great turmoil and chaos.
This time, he broke his own rule!
As it happened.
With Ancestor Hongjun's will, without needing to send any subordinates, or deliberately cast any spells, he directly used the will of the Heavenly Dao to make a slight move.
The next second.
The fifth tribulation, which was originally meant for Jin Chanzi, "encountering tigers outside the city," which should have been just an ordinary tiger demon, also underwent some unknown change because of this!
...
Soon.
A total of seven people related to tigers sensed their respective opportunities.
Without further ado.
They all set out, heading to the border of the Great Tang Empire, near Fu'an Temple in Hezhou Guard, concealing their identities and waiting for their chance.
Before Jin Chanzi could even appear.
The original white tiger demon had already been killed by them.
Afterward.
Everyone quietly hid themselves, forming a deadly encirclement that would make any expert exclaim in admiration!
Among these.
The seven people were none other than the seven "tiger-related" deities under the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, who were on the Investiture of the Gods. Now, they were willing to plan ahead to compete for this merit.
It was truly astonishing!
...
At the same time.
Regarding Wuchao Chan Shi's quick sworn brotherhood with Sun Kong, the Six Saints had varying attitudes and opinions, but they all became more awestruck by Sun Kong's capabilities.
Among them.
Primordial Heavenly Master praised Sun Kong to the skies, believing he had found the right ally.
Empress Nuwa was proud of her own son, Sun Kong, for his achievements. Thinking back, she had almost failed to see Sun Kong and acknowledge him as her son. Looking back now, she truly shouldn't have.
The Western Two Sages also expressed various praises and surprises. However, Sun Kong's winning over of Wuchao Chan Shi was somewhat detrimental to their Great Vehicle Buddhism.
A hint of vigilance, unseen by others, flickered in their eyes!
As for the Master of Heaven, among the Six Saints, he was the only one who did not look favorably upon Sun Kong and was the only one angered by this. He hadn't expected that with the Jade Emperor and the new Six-Eared Macaque,
Sun Kong would still be so arrogant!
Finally.
When it came to Laozi of Bajing Palace in Xuan Du Heaven, only he could see more!
"This Great Sage Sun is becoming more and more formidable and sensible. He is truly worthy of being the senior disciple of the Journey to the West, trained by Junior Sister Nuwa and Daoist Zhunti."
"The merits and opportunities for my Human Sect disciples truly depend on him."
"Since that's the case, what does it matter if Lü Dongbin suffers a minor injury?"
Laozi thought so.
Turning back.
Looking at the bruised and battered Lü Dongbin, without any sympathy or pity, he snorted coldly and directly had He Xiangu take him.
To the mortal realm, the Great Tang Dynasty!
"No need to ask more, just go. It would have been better for the eight of you to remain in the Earth Immortal Realm, but due to past mistakes, I banished you to the mortal world."
"Now, He Xiangu is sensible and understanding, but you, Lü Dongbin, dare to defy my arrangements. You don't need to beg for mercy."
"Take this Sealing Pill. It will seal your cultivation until you and your companion find the other six immortals and complete your tribulation."
"I am doing this for your own good, lest you provoke Great Sage Sun again."
"You won't understand now, but you will in the future!"
Hearing Laozi's words, He Xiangu was quite clever and immediately agreed wholeheartedly. However, Lü Dongbin, having undergone one reincarnation, still lacked enlightenment.
His eyes were full of defiance towards Laozi.
But regardless, he didn't dare to offend Laozi, having even lost the opportunity for reincarnation, he could only force an awkward smile.
And then, he and He Xiangu set off for the mortal realm!
...
New Flower Fruit Mountain.
Sun Kong bid farewell to Wuchao Chan Shi and returned. Just as he was about to continue meditating, he suddenly deduced that the Rose Dragon King and the Golden Carp Demon, father and daughter, had both been subdued by Jin Chanzi.
And joined his disciples.
Besides being happy for them, he also used the "Marquis Wu's Seven Stars Array" to deduce the karmic connection between the father and daughter and Jin Chanzi.
Without further ado.
He sent his second brother, Wuzhiqi, with a bowl of sacred water soup, to the Rose Riverbank to give to Jin Chanzi.
Subsequently.
Jin Chanzi used the sacred water soup to re-baptize the Rose Dragon King and the Golden Carp Demon, not only removing their original demonic aura but also transforming their malevolent energy into auspiciousness.
Moreover, due to the devotion of this father and daughter, in minutes, they were transformed into two treasures.
One was the Rose Kasaya, which replaced the Brocade Kasaya that Tathagata could not bestow.
The other was the Nine-Ringed Monk's Staff, which replaced the Nine-Ringed Monk's Staff that Tathagata could not bestow!
From then on.
This father and daughter had also become entangled with the Journey to the West.
"Does Great Sage Sun have any other message?"
Jin Chanzi put away the two treasures and, on his way back, subconsciously asked this question.
Wuzhiqi indeed brought Sun Kong's warning!
