Monkey King rolled his eyes, thinking that instead of lecturing him now, it would be better to figure out a way to save the Ginseng Fruit Tree!
In fact, Guanyin was also troubled. He had visited Wuzhuang Temple before, but as a junior. It was during the grand gathering of the Three Sects. Back then, he hardly had the资格 to speak with Zhen Yuanzi!
Now, as a traitor to the Chan Sect and Guanyin of Buddhism, although he possessed the strength of a Quasi-Saint, he was still far behind Zhen Yuanzi in terms of cultivation and magical treasures!
Thus, he arrived at Wuzhuang Temple. Guanyin squeezed the Jade Purification Bottle in his hand, hoping that the monkey wouldn't go too far. The Ginseng Fruit, as one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, had only just been toppled. There should still be a chance to revive it! Otherwise, with Zhen Yuanzi's temperament, Monkey King wouldn't have had the chance to seek help; the tree would likely be long dead! Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't have cared about anything else then!
"Guanyin greets senior!" Upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi, Guanyin clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute!
Zhen Yuanzi nodded, exuding an air of supreme authority!
Tang Sanzang and the others were also released and no longer tied to the pillars. Seeing Guanyin, Tang Sanzang quickly bowed and paid his respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva!
"Senior, may I have a look at the Ginseng Fruit Tree!" Guanyin asked!
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, signaling Guanyin to go ahead.
Guanyin then went to the backyard and saw the toppled Ginseng Fruit Tree. He gasped, it was completely destroyed! But upon closer inspection, he realized something was amiss. Wait, this was a primordial essence avatar! He quickly glanced at the source, looking at the text.
In an instant, Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief. If the actual Ginseng Fruit Tree had been destroyed like this, their Buddhist sect would have been in grave trouble. Now, it was just a wisp of primordial essence avatar. Monkey King was merely a Da Luo Golden Immortal and couldn't see clearly, but Guanyin, a Quasi-Saint, certainly could not be mistaken!
In that case, as long as this strand of primordial essence was replenished, there shouldn't be any major problems!
With his Three Light Divine Water, this wisp of primordial essence would be enough!
Instantly, a relaxed smile appeared on Guanyin's face. Monkey King, seeing this, quickly asked, "Bodhisattva, how is it? Can it be saved?"
After asking, he looked at Guanyin with great eagerness!
Guanyin glared at Monkey King and said, "Fortunately, I have treasures that can save it. Otherwise, this time would have been perilous. You wicked monkey, you must remember this lesson: not everyone can be provoked. In this Primordial Land, there are countless powerful beings; you must have a heart of reverence!"
Monkey King chuckled sheepishly, thinking, "Whatever you say is fine, as long as we can get past this hurdle first!"
Thus, Guanyin returned to the front courtyard and gave two drops of Three Light Divine Water from his Jade Purification Bottle to Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "Senior, this Three Light Divine Water is a token of apology from the Buddhist sect. I hope senior will not take offense! Please spare these juniors!"
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Guanyin in surprise, not expecting him to have Three Light Divine Water. He then nodded, signifying his acceptance!
Afterward, Sun Wukong and the others did not dare to linger. As for becoming sworn brothers, Sun Wukong wasn't truly foolish. Even Guanyin addressed him as senior, so he was certainly not qualified!
After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Sun Wukong also breathed a sigh of relief. That lash from the whip had truly hurt him!
Pigsy's eyes, however, wandered a bit. It was understandable, as Pigsy wasn't an ignorant fellow. He knew that Three Light Divine Water was a miraculous medicine that could revive the dead and grow flesh. As for how Three Light Divine Water was produced, he had heard some rumors and knew how precious it was!
But to say that two drops could revive a supreme-grade innate spiritual root, Pigsy wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death. It was too unbelievable to be mystical!
However, since they had left Wuzhuang Temple, the subsequent matters were for the Buddhist sect to clean up. They wouldn't interfere anymore!
Inside Wuzhuang Temple, Qingfeng and Mingyue's eyes also wandered. Two drops of Three Light Divine Water could appease their master? The Buddhist sect was too stingy!
Zhen Yuanzi ignored them because he knew that Guanyin had likely seen through it. This was merely a primordial essence avatar, and two drops of Three Light Divine Water were more than enough. In fact, one drop would have sufficed!
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, instantly retracting this wisp of primordial essence. The Earthly Book also flew out, revealing the original Ginseng Fruit Tree. Zhen Yuanzi sprinkled one drop of Three Light Divine Water and then said, "Fortunately, I made preparations in advance, otherwise, the Buddhist sect would have truly ruined my fruit tree!"
"Zhen Yuanzi, how is it?" At this moment, Hong Yun arrived. After all, his friend had been gone for a while, and he was concerned about the Ginseng Fruit Tree! He knew the significance of the Ginseng Fruit Tree to Zhen Yuanzi!
"It's fine, it's passed," Zhen Yuanzi replied!
Hong Yun had already entered and, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruit Tree was unharmed, he smiled and said, "It seems I will still have good fortune to enjoy in the future!"
Zhen Yuanzi rolled his eyes. This old fellow was always eyeing his Ginseng Fruit!
"Let's go, we'll have tea in the front hall!" Zhen Yuanzi said!
Hong Yun nodded, and the two went to the front hall.
"On the way, I looked around. My goodness, the Three Sects are truly playing a game!" Hong Yun laughed!
Zhen Yuanzi was stunned, then understood Hong Yun's meaning and nodded. Although he hadn't looked closely, there were indeed many unusual things, and quite a few disciples of the Three Sects had obstructed Tang Sanzang's westward journey!
"Did you notice a mountain range ahead? My goodness, the killing intent was soaring. That's the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation! What were the Jie Sect disciples thinking, setting up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!" Hong Yun shook his head. There was nothing they could do. With this formation deployed, the Buddhist sect would likely be in trouble!
Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, "The Three Sects are bound to oppose Buddhism. Do you know who set it up?"
Hong Yun shook his head. However, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was currently under the control of the Jie Sect's senior disciple, Kong Xuan. Therefore, it must be Kong Xuan's lineage! But he hadn't heard of Kong Xuan having any disciples!
Zhen Yuanzi said, "It has nothing to do with us. Let's just watch. After all, a grand spectacle doesn't happen every day. Moreover, I feel that Taiqing fellow daoist has always been planning something. Perhaps, after this, we will enter a different Primordial Land!"
Hong Yun also nodded. He admired Sage Taiqing. In the past, they had a good relationship with the Three Pure Ones. Now that all Saints were punished and confined to the Outer Heavens, and Saints were restricted by the Heavenly Dao, they no longer envied Saints. Instead, they envied those like Laozi of Taiqing who had achieved Hunyuan and were impervious to eternal destruction!
Taiqing Laozi's cultivation had already reached the late Hunyuan stage. Perhaps, when Taiqing Laozi broke through, the world would become different!
After all, Taiqing Laozi would not stand by and watch his two brothers be punished in the Outer Heavens!
