Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!-Chapter 286 - 186 Jie Yin Buddha

At the foot of the mountain, it became clear that they couldn’t keep Tang Sanzang any longer.

A Buddhist chant resounded.

"Amitabha, fellow Daoist, why the rush to leave?" Guanyin Bodhisattva descended from the heavens, her feet stepping on auspicious clouds.

Tang Sanzang looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "There are neither brothels nor meat to eat here, why would I stay if I don’t leave?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva took out a feather and said, "Fellow Dao... hey, why are you snatching things?!"

Before Guanyin Bodhisattva could finish speaking, the feather in her hand had already been grabbed by the bald monk, who looked at the feather and frowned, "How did you come by this thing?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "The owner of this feather wants you to stay on Mount Ling."

Tang Sanzang said, "I know."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was taken aback, "You know?" Your next chapter awaits on novelbuddy

Tang Sanzang pointed to a line of words on the back of the feather and said, "Isn’t it written here? I’m not blind."

Guanyin Bodhisattva: "@￥#..."

Upon closer inspection, Guanyin Bodhisattva indeed noticed a line of characters that were exceptionally elegant; clearly the work of a young woman. It read, "Stay, be obedient, study hard, and stop being such a troublemaker."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was puzzled; she swore she had inspected the feather closely out of curiosity when she got it, but there hadn’t been a single character on it.

However, that was not important now as Tang Sanzang seemed to take the words left by the owner of the feather very seriously, and that was enough.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Fellow Daoist, in that case you..."

Tang Sanzang said, "Since I’ve come all this way, let’s go up the mountain!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled.

Tang Sanzang and the Golden Summit Immortal breathed a sigh of relief...

Guanyin Bodhisattva turned to Tang Sanzang and said, "Golden Cicada, although the trials you’ve faced along the way do not amount to eighty-one hardships, your ability to reach this place alone without any protection proves your resilience. Come, enter with me."

Tang Sanzang pressed his palms together, "As you command, Master."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was very pleased with Tang Sanzang’s response, which was befitting of a monk, unlike that ruffian...

Guanyin Bodhisattva thought of Tang Sanzang, but when she turned around, the bald one was nowhere to be seen!

A sheen of cold sweat instantly formed on Guanyin Bodhisattva’s forehead as she anxiously inquired of the Golden Summit Immortal, "Where’s Tang Sanzang?"

The Golden Summit Immortal pointed inside and said, "He went in."

Only then did Guanyin Bodhisattva relax and hurriedly summoned Tang Sanzang to follow after.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait, this poor monk will take you up!" called Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Sun Wukong looked back and said, "Bodhisattva, there is no need for the trouble, I know the way."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head and said, "You know the way through the clouds, but this time the path is different."

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and realized it was true. He had always flown to Mount Ling by Riding Clouds and Mist; walking up from the base was indeed something he had never experienced before, and he truly did not know the way.

Therefore, Sun Wukong said, "This... I indeed do not know the way, but no matter, I can just leap up there with Master."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head, "Since you’ve been calling out for the True Scriptures all along the way, you should see things through to the end. Better walk the path."

Sun Wukong looked at Tang Sanzang, but Tang Sanzang’s gaze remained fixed on the feather, his brows furrowed, as if he hadn’t heard a thing they said, simply walking forward.

Seeing Tang Sanzang silent, Sun Wukong did not ask further and decided to follow the Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva led them onto the Jie Yin Altar, and with a turn in the void, the world before their eyes transformed.

The buildings they knew vanished, replaced by a peak enveloped in auspicious radiance and layers of miraculous mists.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin was not sure whether she was explaining to Tang Sanzang or Tang Sanzang and pointed to the mountain peak, "This is the Lingjiu Peak, a sacred place of the Buddha."

Without another word, Tang Sanzang immediately bowed his head in reverence, a picture of devotion on his face.

Tang Sanzang, however, remained indifferent to everyone around and continued to look at the feather in his hand...

Sun Wukong couldn’t help but be curious, and he asked, "Master, do you recognise this feather?"

Tang Sanzang nodded and then shook his head.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

Zhu Ganglie grew impatient, "Master, do you recognise it or not?"

Tang Sanzang replied, "It feels familiar, but I can’t remember who the owner of this feather is. However, I have a feeling that this person is very, very important to me, and I must listen to his words..."

This was not the first time Sun Wukong had seen Tang Sanzang like this; last time, at Gao Laozhuang, when Tang Sanzang had obtained a drop of blood, he had looked exactly the same.

The Six-Eared Macaque and the others were incredibly curious to find out who the person who could make this bald monk obedient was and what kind of divine being they were!

After all, they had witnessed enough of this bald monk’s rebelliousness and reluctance to listen throughout their journey.

Not to mention his strength, his style of doing things was clearly beyond the Three Realms, not confined to the Five Elements; he acted without regard for good or evil, guided solely by personal preference.

Fortunately, his own principles hadn’t strayed too far off the path, otherwise...

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tang Sanzang carefully put away the feather and waved his hand saying, "What are you looking at? Let’s go!"

The Bodhisattva Guanyin nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist, Golden Cicada, let’s proceed. The sacred mountain is just ahead."

The group continued on their way, and after traveling no more than five or six miles, they came upon a stream of water making a bubbling sound, with waves and torrents flying about, approximately eight or nine miles wide...

Upon seeing this water, Zhu Ganglie immediately laughed, "Fellow travelers, I will jump across first, ah!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ganglie soared into the sky!

However, the moment he jumped over the river, a whirlpool appeared on the water’s surface, Zhu Ganglie let out a cry as he fell from the sky, landing right in the middle of the whirlpool and sinking to the bottom.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin used her Divine Skills and managed to pull Zhu Ganglie out of the water.

"Bodhisattva, what’s going on here? Is flying also forbidden over your sacred mountain?" Zhu Ganglie shouted.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin replied, "It’s not that flying is forbidden, but there is a great formation above this river that prohibits all means of flight."

Tang Sanzang asked, "If we can’t fly or jump, how are we to get across?"

The Bodhisattva Guanyin smiled faintly and clapped her hands toward the river’s surface.

Suddenly, a small boat appeared in the distance, and the boatman called out to the group, "Fellow travelers, come aboard the ferry!"

Tang Sanzang was overjoyed and went to board the boat but then cried out in shock, "How can we cross in this bottomless, broken boat?"

The old man propelling the boat laughed and said, "This boat of mine:

When chaos first divided, it bore a name, fortunate that I propel it without a change.

Steady against waves and winds, stable it remains, without beginning or end, joyfully it sustains.

Untouched by the dust of the world, it returns to the One, through countless calamities, it moves on with ease, done.

A bottomless boat is hard to take to sea, yet it ferries souls from today and antiquity."

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang still hesitated, for the bottomless boat truly made him feel uneasy.

Tang Sanzang, standing nearby, looked bewilderedly at Tang Sanzang and the old boatman.

Sun Wukong quickly explained, "This boatman is the Buddha Jie Yin, also known as Namo Baozhuang Guangwang Buddha. He holds a very high status in Buddhism..."

After speaking, Sun Wukong placed his palms together and gave thanks, "I am grateful for your generous offer."

The Buddha Jie Yin nodded slightly and said, "Monkey, you have a destined connection with Buddha..."
