Chapter 499: Chapter 442, Wu Chao Zen Master
Ji Meng Demon God hurriedly came out from the great hall to meet them, cupped his hands together, bowed and respectfully said: "Greetings, Crown Prince!"
Lu Ya walked towards the inside, his expression calm, and stated: "I need to meet the four Demon Saints."
Ji Meng Demon God stood up, followed behind him walking towards the inner part of the Demon Court, and respectfully reported: "To inform Your Highness, the esteemed Demon Saints are all in seclusion."
Lu Ya halted his steps, frowning as he asked: "In seclusion? Why would the Demon Saints suddenly go into seclusion?"
Ji Meng Demon God respectfully explained: "After the battle in the East Sea, the Demon Saints confronted Kong Xuan, Zhao Gongming and other newly ascended Quasi-Saints. They gained insights during the battle, and thus entered seclusion to seek Enlightenment."
"I also participated in the battle, why did I not gain any insights?"
Ji Meng Demon God’s mouth twitched slightly, whispering: "Perhaps Your Highness has insufficient accumulation!"
Lu Ya looked upward into the depths of the Demon Court, his aura fluctuating, and he silently clenched his teeth, "Everyone having simultaneous insights, this seems too coincidental." A group of misers.
When a dragon is in shallow waters, the shrimp play with him; a penniless Golden Crow is inferior to a chicken; today you all ignore me, but one day I will make you unable to climb high to reach me.
Lu Ya turned around decisively and walked away, even if without your help, what do I, Lu Ya, have to fear?!
Lu Ya flew away from the Northern Continent and landed on a small mountain at the boundary of the Western Continent, looking around at the silent Heaven and Earth. The Buddha Clan not welcoming, nor could he go to the Demon Court, the vast world had no place for me, how laughable, how laughable!
Lu Ya lowered his head looking at the mountain under his feet, stated: "Well then! I shall temporarily settle here."
A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he comforted himself: "Being hidden in the shadows is the most terrifying warrior; momentary gains and losses mean nothing. When Bai Jin is lonely, I will strike him with a thunderbolt."
He then righteously built a nest on the cliff.
...
A month later, within the Heavenly Court, Bai Jin and Yun Xiao were playing chess.
Yun Xiao, smiling, said: "Brother, your chess skills have become profound."
Bai Jin chuckled and replied: "Of course!"
"Is Jingwei still with Xiao Kongyao?"
"Yes! Since Xiao Kongyao came to the Heavenly Court, even I as a Master seem less appealing, Jingwei Longji and the others all crowd around Xiao Kongyao," Bai Jin stated with a bit of wistfulness.
Yun Xiao laughed softly, turning the topic, "Brother, something interesting happened in Buddhism recently, have you heard about it?"
"Oh~ What is it?"
"I heard that the Great Sun Tathagata was pressed by Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Mahasthamaprapta to repay debts. Penniless, the Great Sun Tathagata had to escape.
Eventually, his two Divine Palaces were auctioned by Maitreya Buddha, his Spiritual Grass Garden was plundered by the Medicine Buddha, even the entirety of his Spiritual Mountain was moved by Mahasthamaprapta, leaving nothing behind on the Spiritual Mountain.
Recently, it’s said that the Great Sun Tathagata has quietly disappeared, never appearing in the Spiritual Mountain again.
It’s also said that someone saw him in the Western Continent living in a bird’s nest on a cliff, calling himself Wu Chao Zen Master, and not daring to proclaim his own name of Great Sun Tathagata Buddha anymore. When Maitreya Buddha heard this and went to the cliff, he had disappeared again, but it’s unknown if this rumor is true or false."
Wu Chao Zen Master? Bai Jin showed a hint of a smile, "Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and Medicine Buddha are quite supportive~ But I need to raise their interest rate a bit, they shouldn’t be able to repay their loans fully, and if they don’t pay on time, what else can you do? Now the lady is the God of Wealth, what can I do if she wants to raise the interest rates."
Bai Jin, smiling, said: "This rumor should be true."
Yun Xiao looked up at Bai Jin, with a smile that was more of a smirk, "Master brother, you definitely had a hand in this matter! Otherwise, the contract scroll wouldn’t have ended up in their hands."
"Junior sister, if you talk like that, I might have to sue you for slander! They clearly stole it when I wasn’t paying attention."
Yun Xiao chuckled lightly, "What master brother said is right, they definitely stole it."
Bai Jin stood up, smiling, "All right, let’s end the chess game here for today.
Please inform the junior sister and the Law Enforcement Team to let Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Ao Bing be vigilant towards the west. If Jin Chanzi shows any unusual activity, they should hunt him down."
Yun Xiao frowned and said, "Master brother, Jin Chanzi is a disciple of the Great Sun Tathagata. If Yang Jiao and the others launch a hunt, it will surely anger Buddhism and lead to a great war."
"It’s just that we are in the right, there’s no need to worry about these matters, tell Yang Jiao and Yang Jian not to worry, I will take care of it."
"What if Jin Chanzi does not leave Spiritual Mountain, or if he abides by the rules?"
"That won’t happen. I have seen Jin Chanzi, he has a tyrannical heart, it’s not possible for him to stay quietly at Spiritual Mountain forever. He will definitely come out, and with his lawless nature, he will surely cause trouble."
Yun Xiao, puzzled, asked, "Master brother, why are you targeting Jin Chanzi, did he offend you?"
Bai Jin looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said leisurely, "Who asked someone to order this dish!"
Someone ordered this dish? Who could it be? A bolt of lightning struck in Yun Xiao’s mind, could it be master and the two senior masters? In the Primordial World, the only ones who could order a dish from the master brother are the Saints!
Yun Xiao looked at Bai Jin with envy, having good culinary skills is really great. Should I also learn cooking? Master brother once said that to capture someone’s heart, one must capture their stomach. I didn’t understand that before, but now I really want to learn how to cook.
"Junior sister, what are you thinking about?"
Yun Xiao suddenly snapped back to reality and hesitated before asking, "Master brother, can I learn cooking from you?"
Bai Jin said with a smile, "Of course!"
"Thank you, master brother!" Yun Xiao said joyfully.
...
Another month passed, Jin Chanzi still couldn’t suppress his murderous heart as a Gu King, and stealthily left Spiritual Mountain to start a killing spree in Western Continent. Just as he was about to act, Yang Jiao immediately descended with the force of thunder and slaughtered Jin Chanzi, carrying his body back to Heavenly Court.
Inside the Heavenly Court Bird’s Nest, Bai Jin cut up Jin Chanzi’s body into several pieces, holding Jin Chan meat in one hand and a black chicken in the other, entering Chaos and heading towards Nuwa Palace.
Before Bai Jin passed through Chaos to enter Wa Emperor Heaven, he called out loudly, "Disciple seeks an audience with Niangniang!"
A beautiful young girl in purple clothes flew out from Wa Emperor Heaven, grinned and bowed, saying, "Greetings to master brother!"
Bai Jin smiled and said, "It’s Yang Chan! Is Niangniang in?"
"Niangniang asked you to go in."
Bai Jin entered Wa Emperor Heaven and followed Yang Chan to a valley, where Wa Niangniang was standing in front of a large boulder, with a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other, fervently sculpting, with chips of stone flying around.
Outside the valley, Yang Chan said softly, "Master brother, I will escort you here, Niangniang is inside, you go in yourself."
Bai Jin bowed with a fist, "Thank you, junior sister!"
Yang Chan turned around and immediately ran off.
Bai Jin straightened his clothes, put on a sincere, friendly, and simple smile, and walked into the valley, joyously calling out, "Niangniang, your disciple has come to see you again."
