Chapter 100 The Lotus Lantern Displays Its Power, Guiding the Yellow Wind Monster
The gibbon was genuinely surprised to see Maitreya Buddha suddenly appear.
As a disciple of Maitreya Buddha, the Long-Armed Ape was unaware of the Buddha's true power.
All he knew was that Maitreya Buddha could suppress all living beings in the three realms with a mere wave of his hand.
Now, this future Buddha has actually appeared right before our eyes.
The gibbon struggles internally.
He wanted to compete with Sun Wukong, but he knew that he could do nothing in front of Maitreya Buddha.
The gibbon hesitated for a long time, then bowed to Maitreya Buddha and said, "Master, this disciple only wishes to be with Sun Wukong—"
'
Maitreya Buddha maintained his smiling expression and said to Xu Xian, "I see that this benefactor has great potential; why not join Mount Ling?"
Maitreya Buddha never glanced at the gibbon once, as if this disciple did not exist at all.
Whether it was the Long-Armed Ape breaking the Yin-Yang Gourd or trying to fight Sun Wukong, neither was worth mentioning in the eyes of Maitreya Buddha.
This Buddha only wanted to know who Xu Xian was and why he knew about the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism.
Xu Xian looked up at the powerful being before him, knowing that he could not possibly contend with him. He could only cup his hands and say, "Thank you for your kindness, Buddha. It is a pity that I practice Taoist magic and am probably not destined for Buddhism."
"That is incorrect."
Maitreya Buddha took a step forward with a smile, and the entire Boundless Sea churned violently.
The sea is turbulent with countless waves, and the creatures in the sea are filled with fear and unease.
I have no idea what happened at sea.
Xu Xian looked at the boundless sea and his heart trembled.
To be fair, with Xu Xian's current level of cultivation, he could also cause the Boundless Sea to churn with waves.
However, this is just a normal seawater disturbance and nothing serious.
However, Maitreya Buddha's move actually triggered the laws of the boundless ocean, making all the seawater and its creatures available to him.
Maitreya Buddha, despite primarily practicing Buddhism, can control the laws governing all waters of the world with a mere wave of his hand.
This move was truly terrifying; he truly deserved to be called a master of supernatural powers.
Xu Xian suppressed the tremor in his heart and still refused, saying, "I appreciate Buddha's kindness. But—"
"You are too modest, benefactor. Judging from your appearance, you have probably never been to the Western Paradise. So please come with me. Once you see the Western Paradise, you will naturally be willing to take refuge in Buddhism."
Maitreya Buddha interrupted Xu Xian with a smile, and at the same time reached out and grabbed forward.
In an instant, Xu Xian felt as if the entire world was enveloping him.
It was as if what was grasping at him was not the palm of Maitreya Buddha, but the power of all the vows of the Three Realms.
The gibbon was both puzzled and shocked upon seeing this.
He certainly knew that Xu Xian had countless strange traits, as if he knew everything about the affairs of the Three Realms.
Both the Heavenly Court and Buddhism consider them highly worthy of being courted.
However, Maitreya Buddha's methods were far too domineering, as he actually tried to force Xu Xian to go to Mount Ling.
This seems to contradict the tenets of Buddhism.
Just as the gibbon was about to speak to stop him, Maitreya Buddha gave his disciple a cold look.
At this moment, the Long-Armed Ape felt that the entire Three Realms had dimmed, with only the golden image of Maitreya Buddha filling the whole world.
The gibbon's mind became clear, and it no longer had any thoughts.
He stood there, stunned.
Maitreya Buddha reprimanded his audacious disciple and then reached out to grab Xu Xian.
A large golden hand marked with a swastika almost completely enveloped Xu Xian, but Maitreya Buddha's mind stirred.
Swish!
Suddenly, a boundless golden light emanated from Xu Xian's chest, actually blocking the palm of Maitreya Buddha.
"What happened?"
Maitreya Buddha frowned slightly and withdrew his palm in an instant.
He clasped his hands together and chanted Amitabha Buddha, as if nothing had happened.
But deep down, I was filled with doubt.
As a being of great supernatural powers, Maitreya Buddha knew that there were few living beings in the world who could rival him.
Xu Xian's strength was indeed formidable, having reached a level beyond the ordinary and even saintly.
But it is still far from being the image of Maitreya Buddha.
He probably doesn't have the means to deal with himself.
What about that golden light?
A treasure?
A treasure capable of confronting a powerful being is definitely not a nameless or unknown treasure.
Maitreya Buddha quietly watched Xu Xian, then appeared with his treasures.
Knowing he couldn't escape easily, Xu Xian had no choice but to activate the golden light on his chest, revealing his true form.
Golden light emanated from his chest and condensed in mid-air into a lotus-shaped treasure lamp.
The entire lamp is like jade, with a flame the size of a soybean burning at the wick.
This tiny flame actually managed to withstand the power of Maitreya Buddha.
"The Lotus Lantern—a supreme treasure of primordial chaos."
With the vision of Maitreya Buddha, he could naturally see that the treasure Xu Xian was holding was the Lotus Lantern.
But the Lotus Lantern clearly belongs to the Third Holy Mother, so how could it be in the hands of the person in front of us?
Maitreya Buddha remained silent for a while, but ultimately did not investigate the cause and effect of the Third Holy Mother.
After all, the Third Holy Mother is the Jade Emperor's own niece.
If a powerful being were to use their divine eyes to investigate the Third Holy Mother, the Jade Emperor would definitely discover it.
This ruler of the Three Realms would absolutely not tolerate such a provocative act, which could very well lead to a conflict between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism.
Maitreya Buddha sighed softly, knowing that he could not take Xu Xian away today.
He resumed his smiling demeanor and asked, "This benefactor's cultivation is quite profound. May I ask who your master is?"
Xu Xian smiled and shook his head, without answering.
After hesitating for a moment, Maitreya Buddha was about to examine the karmic threads on Xu Xian's body.
He looked at Xu Xian with divine eyes, and the swastika symbol appeared openly in front of Xu Xian.
"Very ethereal, hidden in the chaos."
Snapped!
The swastika seal shattered, and Maitreya Buddha's expression grew more somber.
It seems that the person in front of me does indeed possess an extremely terrifying lineage of martial arts.
To be able to resist the probing of one's own divine eyes so easily must be the mark of a person with great supernatural powers.
Moreover, among those with great supernatural powers, they are among the top tier.
Knowing that his mission had failed, Maitreya Buddha did not linger any longer.
He looked at Xu Xian with a smile and said, "Your views on the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism are very interesting. I will like to learn from you in the future."
"I dare not accept such praise."
Xu Xian bowed and saw his guest off, and Maitreya Buddha disappeared from this place.
"Phew, it's over."
Xu Xian dared to incite the gibbon here, which means he had already made preparations to confront Maitreya Buddha.
He had many backup plans.
First is the Lotus Lantern.
Since Xu Xian and the Third Holy Mother were Daoist lovers, they could naturally borrow the Lotus Lantern.
With the help of the Third Holy Mother's magic, Xu Xian can easily activate the Lotus Lantern to resist all opponents in the Three Realms.
This puts Xu Xian in an invincible position.
More importantly, the Lotus Lantern is simply too famous.
Almost everyone in the Three Realms knows about it.
Seeing the Lotus Lantern is equivalent to seeing the Holy Mother of the Three Realms.
As the goddess of Mount Hua, the Third Holy Mother is gentle by nature and naturally has no intimidating power.
But Erlang Shen, who is behind the Three Holy Mothers, is not the same as the Jade Emperor.
Erlang Shen obeys orders but not summons, and has several extraordinary subordinates, as well as three thousand grass-root gods.
They are the true rulers of the Three Realms.
If you offend the Third Holy Mother, you will definitely incur Erlang Shen's wrath.
At that time, not to mention mortals and demons, even gods and Buddhas, few will be able to gain an advantage over Erlang Shen.
Besides Erlang Shen, there is also the Jade Emperor.
This is the ruler of the Three Realms; no living being dares to challenge his authority.
Xu Xian only needs to take out the Lotus Lantern to eliminate most dangers.
Besides the Lotus Lantern, Xu Xian was also wary of the possibility of encountering a hothead.
After all, in the world of mythology, there are quite a few hotheads like the Monkey King.
Therefore, Xu Xian had one more crucial backup plan.
Bodhi Patriarch!
When he left Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Bodhi Patriarch left a golden light between his eyebrows.
This golden light can save Xu Xian's life under any circumstances.
As soon as this golden light appears, Patriarch Bodhi will naturally be able to sense Xu Xian's condition.
No one in the Three Realms could harm Xu Xian.
With the Lotus Lantern and Bodhi Patriarch as his trump cards, Xu Xian dared to lure the Long-Armed Ape in the Boundless Sea and even meet Maitreya Buddha.
Thankfully, it's over.
Xu Xian looked at the still dazed gibbon and gently snapped his fingers: "Wake up!"
The gibbon was momentarily dazed, but its eyes regained their clarity.
He looked at Xu Xian, his eyes filled with an uncontrollable bitterness.
"My master didn't even glance at me."
Xu Xian didn't know how to comfort the gibbon, so he patted the gibbon's shoulder and said, "Come with me."
"Um."
Xu Xian took the Long-Armed Ape to Buzhou Mountain and arranged for it to be with the Six-Eared Macaque and Wuzhiqi.
The Long-Armed Ape was initially dejected, but upon seeing the Six-Eared Macaque and Wuzhiqi, a surge of fighting spirit arose within him.
In addition, since all three monkeys possessed the Sea-Stabilizing Iron, they naturally ended up fighting each other.
In an instant, countless sounds resounded throughout Mount Buzhou, and all sorts of laws filled the area.
Xu Xian ignored the three monkeys and began searching for the last two worthwhile monsters to invest in on his journey to the West.
Scorpion Demon, Yellow Wind Monster!
The scorpion possesses the most venomous stinger in the Three Realms, capable of inflicting pain on Buddha and Sun Wukong.
The Yellow Wind Monster possesses the Samadhi Divine Wind.
Throughout the world, apart from the Wind-Fixing Pearl and Flying Dragon Staff of Bodhisattva Lingji, there is no other treasure that can subdue this divine wind.
Although Xu Xian had mastered the Samadhi True Fire and Samadhi Divine Thunder, he also had a strong yearning for this divine wind.
In the game's storyline, if you collect all five supernatural powers—Samadhi True Fire, Samadhi Divine Thunder, Samadhi Divine Wind, Three Lights True Water, and Three Colors True Earth—you can fuse their power into a new color-level supernatural power.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian rode the Jade Terrace Golden Cloud and flew to the border of the U-Tsang Kingdom.
After searching for a while, he came across a treacherous mountain range that stretched for over 800 miles.
Xu Xian looked down and saw that the mountain was steep and rugged, with strange rocks and demons often appearing.
Even more terrifying is that strange winds blow across the ridge all year round, making it impossible for ordinary creatures to survive there.
It is Huangfeng Ridge!
Xu Xian descended from the clouds and found the Yellow Wind Cave on the edge of a cliff.
The cave entrance was now hidden by vines, making it appear quite secluded.
Clearly, the Yellow Wind Monster's cultivation was not yet fully developed, and he had not even mastered the Samadhi Divine Wind.
Therefore, they dared not openly display their cave dwellings and could only hide them in the shadows.
Xu Xian smiled and stepped into the Yellow Wind Cave.
The cave was quite spacious, with a slightly greasy smell.
Xu Xian thought about the Yellow Wind Monster's true form and knew he had come to the right place.
The Yellow Wind Monster was a yellow-haired weasel at the foot of Mount Ling. Because it stole the lamp oil from the glass lamp, it had no choice but to flee to the mortal world.
The cave has an oily smell, which is a hallmark of the Yellow Wind Monster.
Xu Xian cast an invisibility spell and stepped into the depths of the cave, where he indeed encountered a demon.
The monster truly resembled a giant ferret.
It was clad in golden armor, and a steel fork lay beside it.
It is indeed the Yellow Wind Monster!
At this moment, the Yellow Wind Monster was cultivating, while Xu Xian watched quietly.
The cave was quiet at first, but after a while a small whirlwind rose up.
The whirlwind swirled around the Yellow Wind Monster, growing larger and larger.
In a very short time, they swept through the entire cave!
For a time, sand and stones flew everywhere inside the cave, creating a spectacular sight!
Xu Xian felt the hurricane crashing over him and gently shook his head.
This hurricane appears to be incredibly powerful, but in reality, it has no laws governing it; it is merely an ordinary wind.
It seems that the Yellow Wind Monster has not yet grasped the true meaning of the Samadhi Divine Wind.
Xu Xian looked at it for a while, then gently touched it with his finger.
Don't let a golden light penetrate the Yellow Wind Monster's brow.
The Yellow Wind Monster was in a deep state of cultivation and did not even notice anything unusual.
It felt as if a human figure had suddenly appeared in its mind.
The human looked at the Yellow Wind Monster with a smile, and a few whirlwinds suddenly rose from his body.
Yellow Wind Monster was a master of this art, and for a moment he was filled with the desire to fight.
It spoke to the human in its mind, "Your wind looks weak and powerless, watch me!"
As he spoke, the Yellow Wind Monster opened his mouth and spewed out countless hurricanes that rushed towards Xu Xian!
Under the terrifying hurricane, the little whirlwind on Xu Xian's body swayed precariously, barely able to maintain its shape.
Seeing this, the Yellow Wind Monster grinned and said, "Your wind is not as good as my wind—what?!"
Before Huang Feng finished speaking, he saw that his hurricane could not disperse the few wisps of wind around Xu Xian no matter what he did.
Even more remarkably, nurtured by the hurricane, the little whirlwind beside Xu Xian grew a bit.
It seems to be rivaling the hurricane!
Yellow Wind Monster was trembling inside, eager to see Little Whirlwind's true colors.
The image in my mind gradually became illusory.
"Your wind may look strong, but it's all show and no substance. It doesn't have any real laws, so it can't be considered a supernatural power."
The image in my mind left behind this sentence and then disappeared.
Huang Feng was startled and immediately withdrew from his deep cultivation state.
"Is this... an epiphany?"
Huang Feng was puzzled and suddenly found that there was a human in his cave.
And it's exactly the same as the image in my mind!
Huang Fengguai froze on the spot, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xu Xian then laughed and said, "I have used my power to manipulate creation to show you the way. Cultivate diligently."
After Xu Xian finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Huang Fengguai stood there dumbfounded for a long time, when a flash of inspiration struck him.
The surrounding hurricane suddenly dissipated, replaced by wisps of small whirlwinds.
Clearly, the Yellow Wind Monster has discovered the true essence of the Samadhi Divine Wind.
The monster felt the whirlwind around it and knelt down to kowtow in the direction where Xu Xian had disappeared.
"Thank you so much, Master!"
