Chapter 931: Rebirth in Journey to the West 3
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Lin Qi had not finished speaking when he suddenly stopped.
His mind stirred, and he pointed a finger. A Water Mirror appeared before him.
Within the Water Mirror, the Demon Buddha sat beneath a bodhi tree in his kasaya, a Spirit Pool not far away.
In the Spirit Pool, nine-colored lotuses blazed. Endless green stretched to the horizon where lotus leaves met the sky, and the lotuses reflected the sun in a vivid red.
“Amitabha. This humble monk pays his respects to His Majesty.”
The Demon Buddha pressed his palms together and, after a single Buddhist chant, spoke without a moment's delay.
“Your Majesty, this humble monk is currently within Spirit Mountain, as the second disciple beneath the Tathagata, with the dharma name Golden Cicada.”
“Today the Tathagata convened a great assembly to discuss the Journey to the West.”
“It has now been decided that I will soon be reincarnated into the mortal world to spread Buddhist Dharma.”
“I ask Your Majesty to lend this humble monk a hand.”
Hearing this, Lin Qi was somewhat surprised. "The Buddhist order actually wants you to play Tang Monk?"
"Just so."
The Demon Buddha nodded, his face bitter.
He too had never imagined such a turn. It truly left the Demon Buddha speechless.
First, Lin Qi had inexplicably passed over the Daoist order's Cosmos, which had granted him three pages of the Golden Book of Creation, insisting on coming to this Buddhist order's Cosmos to be the Heavenly Emperor.
Dragging him along into this Cosmos controlled by the Buddhist order.
And now they wanted to send him directly into the worn-out tale of Journey to the West to play Tang Monk.
The Demon Buddha was suffering terribly.
Though the whole world regarded him as the Buddhist order's pawn cast into the Dream Bubble Shadow.
In his heart, the Demon Buddha did not actually think so.
For one, back then he had faced off against the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor within a dream for five billion six hundred million years, which gave him a new understanding of the Buddhist order's path. Otherwise, he would not have changed his name to Demon Buddha.
For two, until now.
The Buddhist order had always been dangling a carrot before him, never truly showing any intent to make him the new Spokesman of the Buddhist order within the Dream Bubble Shadow.
Naturally, he harbored some dissatisfaction in his heart.
More importantly, the overall situation was still undecided.
Before truly obtaining a Supreme seat, he naturally had no intention of walking one road into the dark, hanging himself on the Buddhist order's tree.
So when Lin Qi dragged him into the Cosmos controlled by the Buddhist order to cultivate, he was actually somewhat unwilling.
After all, only when a general is abroad can he refuse the sovereign's orders.
He too wanted to learn from Lin Qi's example, eating from a hundred households and taking benefits from several factions.
Rather than being bound tightly to the Buddhist order early on.
Otherwise, back in the Great Starry Cosmos, he would not have tried to imitate Lin Qi by directly broadcasting a challenge to the various Supremes.
And now look.
Lin Qi had dragged him into a Cosmos controlled by the Buddhist order.
The Buddhist order was clean and decisive as well, wanting him to be the Golden Cicada straightaway, to reincarnate as Tang Monk and walk the Journey to the West.
To relearn the boundlessness of Buddhist Dharma.
The Demon Buddha was extremely reluctant.
But the one seated within Spirit Mountain, that Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.
Though not the true Supreme Tathagata, and by feeling it should not be a mere avatar projection of the Supreme Tathagata either.
Was in truth a Half-Step Dao-Fusion Realm existence.
The Demon Buddha's arm truly could not twist against the thigh. He could only come begging Lin Qi for aid.
He truly did not want to be Tang Monk.
If he had his choice, he wanted to be Wutian.
And if that was not possible, being that Fahai who could shout Great Might Heavenly Dragon was still better than being Tang Monk.
"Interesting."
"So the historical course of this Cosmos really will be the Journey to the West."
"Thus, the real question became clear."
"The Buddhist order reenacting Journey to the West in this Cosmos — is it for you, or for me, or is there some other reason?"
Lin Qi pondered, unable to grasp it for the moment.
But never mind that for now. He could not truly just obediently follow the script the Buddhist order had handed him.
Whether the Buddhist order wanted to reenact Journey to the West, or had other schemes in mind.
Break this game first before anything else.
In short, the Buddhist order's wishful calculations must not succeed.
So Lin Qi, decisive in slaughter, immediately said to the Demon Buddha.
"The Stone Monkey has already been born on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit in Aolai Kingdom."
"Since you do not wish to be Tang Monk."
"Then before you descend to the mortal world and enter Reincarnation, go make a trip to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit."
"You do it. This Venerable will bear the responsibility."
With Lin Qi's promise.
The Demon Buddha perked up at once, without any excuse-making that he was being watched and could not leave Spirit Mountain.
Instead, without hesitation, he pointed a finger and flung Lin Feng straight into the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, his tone icy.
"Good disciple, find that Stone Monkey. Whether alive or dead, I want to see the person or the corpse."
"Once it is done, as your Master, I will plead on your behalf before His Majesty."
"If you fail, and His Majesty blames you, then you cannot blame your Master either."
Lin Feng said nothing.
He merely went silently toward the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.
Though he remained unconvinced and resentful toward Lin Qi, he who understands the times is a great man.
Not knowing exactly how Lin Qi might deal with him.
Clinging tightly to the Demon Buddha's thigh, hoping for the Demon Buddha's protection, was his only choice now.
As for other thoughts he should not have.
Please.
After being personally offered up to Lin Qi by the God Race's Supreme Ancestor God, he truly did not dare entertain other thoughts for the time being.
Therefore.
"Brother Monkey, my apologies."
Lin Feng landed within the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit and quickly found the Stone Monkey. Without another word, he struck with full power.
Like a comet crashing into Earth.
The entire Mountain of Flowers and Fruit instantly turned to dust, the peak vanishing and becoming a basin.
The waters of the East Sea poured in backward.
A nest of monkeys on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit all became merman ghosts in the sea.
As for the Stone Monkey who had not yet become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, he was ground to pieces inch by inch by Lin Feng's own hand, reduced to ash and smoke, bones and corpse alike gone.
Lin Qi and the Demon Buddha, secretly watching the commotion at the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.
Seeing the Stone Monkey within the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit so easily obliterated by Lin Feng.
Both frowned slightly.
After all, if the fate of this Cosmos really was to reenact a Journey to the West.
Then the Stone Monkey, as this Cosmos's future Child of Destiny, should not have been so easily killed by Lin Feng, the former Child of Destiny of the Great Starry Cosmos.
Quite apart from anything else, the Buddhist order, and even the Heavenly Court Lin Qi now commanded.
Could they truly have no guard at all against the Stone Monkey, the protagonist of the story?
"Did he kill the wrong monkey? Or are there other monkeys?"
Lin Qi pondered.
Suddenly he felt his vision blur.
He was slightly dazed, but before he could grasp the sudden sense of crisis rising in his heart.
In the next instant.
He was already seated upon the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, with Immortals and Gods standing in attendance below, their auras stern.
Outside the great hall, two Immortals and Gods suddenly came to report.
"This subject has obeyed the decree to observe and listen where the golden light shines."
"It is at the boundary of the small kingdom of Aolai, east of the sea in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent. There is a Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, and on the mountain a divine stone. The stone produced an egg, which at the wind became a Stone Monkey…"
"Aolai Kingdom, Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, Stone Monkey."
Lin Qi sat upright upon the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, listening to the two Immortals and Gods report, deep in thought.
He swept the surroundings, taking clear note of the Immortal ministers and divine generals standing in attendance.
Especially the two reporting Immortals and Gods.
One had a red face and two horns on his head, the other a green face and a single horn.
They were unmistakably the images of Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Accompanying Ear from Earth's myths and legends.
So he had now become the Jade Emperor seated upon the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in Journey to the West?
