It was no surprise.
Sun Kong, who always made a point of making trouble for others and shocking them, was instantly stunned after his monkey hair clone transmitted related images.
"Did you really see that Jade Dragon Third Prince cooperating with the second Tang Sanzang?"
"Yes, main body. We miscalculated this time. Unexpectedly, the Jade Dragon Third Prince, whom Erlang Shen Yang Jian couldn't find, had already arrived in the mortal realm to lie in wait."
"It's a pity my magic power is inferior to yours, and I didn't dare to enter easily. But standing outside and taking a look, this matter is absolutely true, and it's likely the grand design of the new Six-Eared Macaque."
"This Kapilavastu is real."
"And this Mount Sumeru is also real."
"Also, there are no Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, etc. from Spirit Mountain here, but strangely, there is Dharma without Buddhas, and mastery of Dharma without Buddhas."
"Even, to dare to say something that might sound absurd from a clone like me, compared to the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, the mortals here have more Buddha-nature and more Buddha-heart."
"No wonder the new Six-Eared Macaque chose the mortal realm to secretly lay a trap back then. This place has sparse spiritual energy, almost zero. Even Saints wouldn't think he would do this, let alone us?"
"I don't know what the main body's plan is next, is it to attack this place, or..."
Fortunately, this monkey hair clone was sharp and, after stating the truth he saw, didn't act rashly but actively asked Sun Kong, the main body.
Hearing this, Sun Kong, tens of trillions of miles away on the peak of the new Flower Fruit Mountain in the Immortal Realm, felt for the first time that he had encountered a terrifying opponent of equal caliber.
The new Six-Eared Macaque!
He didn't answer in a hurry but pondered for a long time. After weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision that was somewhat consistent with his position.
"Clone, hurry back. Your magic power cannot last long. It will dissipate automatically in twenty-four hours at most."
"There's no point in staying."
"As for me, I really want to go over there and smash that second Tang Sanzang and Jade Dragon Third Prince to death with my Chaos Golden Cudgel."
"But strangely, I just tried, and it seems I can't go."
"Although this move by the new Six-Eared Macaque is not yet recognized by the Heavenly Dao, if I force my way, the Heavenly Dao's pressure will also descend upon me, making it impossible."
"This is the first reason."
"Secondly, this Kapilavastu and Mount Sumeru are not ordinary places. In the time before we transmigrated, they were the birthplace of Buddhism. No wonder there is such an opportunity."
"Although I don't know if Little Laolai knows about this place or if he has any connection with it, it's better to be careful to avoid being noticed by the Heavenly Dao."
"This time, consider it me losing to the new Six-Eared Macaque once, but absolutely only this once, and never again. You come back, and I'll go talk to Little Laolai."
Hearing Sun Kong's explanation, the monkey hair clone, also "Sun Kong," had no objections and immediately returned to the Immortal Realm, rejoining him.
As for Sun Kong himself, having encountered such a serious mistake for the first time since transmigrating, he no longer dared to be nonchalant and improper.
Instead, he adopted the most serious attitude and spoke separately with Tathagata and Dipankara Buddha.
As expected.
The attitude of these two towards him was completely different.
The latter, upon hearing about the mortal realm, Kapilavastu, Mount Sumeru, and the like, completely ignored Sun Kong's words that this might be the new Six-Eared Macaque's scheme that would be detrimental to everyone in the future.
He refused to believe it on the spot.
When Sun Kong spoke too much, it even drew the unanimous sarcasm of all the Buddhas on Spirit Mountain!
"Junior Brother Sun, aren't you exaggerating?"
"A mere new Six-Eared Macaque can at most collude with members of the demon race to find an opportunity to disrupt the Journey to the West in the Immortal Realm. How could he possibly have the ability to make a second one, and go to the mortal realm for it?"
"Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?"
"Everyone knows that in the future, Tang Sanzang will be Jin Chanzi, and his disciples will be your three brothers. How could there be a second one?"
"Don't be too worried. You just need to protect Jin Chanzi well. Other matters are thinking too much and equal to zero. Don't lose the big for the small. As for us on Spirit Mountain, we've already investigated. It has nothing to do with us, and we won't waste any effort."
After saying this.
The Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, as if they had forgotten the suffering of being beaten immediately after dividing the merits, ignored Sun Kong.
This scene infuriated Sun Kong.
But he could only leave in resentment.
Looking at Dipankara Buddha and the others, who had returned to their original lazy and arrogant selves after gaining merits from the first trial, Sun Kong was angry at their lack of ambition and pitied their misfortune.
Finally.
He simply stopped caring about them!
"Today you treat me with indifference, tomorrow you won't be able to cry even if you want to."
"Let's wait and see. This matter is definitely not that simple. I, Old Sun, kindly offered you help, reminding you a few words to make you vigilant and prepare in advance."
"But not a single Buddha on Spirit Mountain believed me?"
"Alright, let's leave it at that. This time it's your own doing, it has nothing to do with me. In the future, if Spirit Mountain truly encounters trouble, don't come begging me."
"You have thick skin and good memory, but also a great capacity for forgetting. But I, Old Sun, don't have such thick skin. At that time, there will be some words that are difficult to say and unpleasant to hear!"
After leaving these words.
Sun Kong no longer attached too much importance to the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, but he thought of one person among them who deserved his good treatment.
That was Tathagata, Little Laolai, his acknowledged foster father!
"Over a thousand years ago, it was Little Laolai who joined forces with the two Sages of the Western Religion and Empress Nuwa to give me life. This kindness must be repaid."
"For the past five hundred years, the Buddhas on Spirit Mountain have been indifferent to me, thinking that the first trial was easy to gain merits, and the subsequent ones would be the same. Only Little Laolai, has always trusted me, admired me, and respected me."
"Moreover, he is most closely related to this matter. It might be better to talk to him. Perhaps I can get some clues from him."
Thinking of this, Sun Kong left the Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, who were gambling day and night and were self-important, and returned to the new Flower Fruit Mountain to find Tathagata, who was in seclusion cultivating.
Indeed, father and son had the same heart.
The moment Sun Kong broke in, Tathagata sensed it and, not daring to neglect, rose to greet him respectfully!
"Is it the acting Deputy Buddha of Spirit Mountain who has arrived..."
"Little Laolai... Foster Father... Little Laolai, why be so formal between us? Without further ado, let's talk about Kapilavastu and that Mount Sumeru in the mortal realm."
"How much do you know about this matter?"
Because of the seriousness of this matter, Sun Kong was not his usual jovial self and got straight to the point.
Unexpectedly.
It was better not to mention it.
As soon as it was mentioned, the usually calm Tathagata was greatly shocked.
It was clear that Sun Kong had hit upon a great secret of his!
The next second.
Under Sun Kong's extreme curiosity, Tathagata, after much thought, finally revealed a major event that made Sun Kong's jaw drop!
