I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

"World Honored One!"

Bodhi Patriarch said urgently, “This boy has ruined my grand plan of the Journey to the West. If we do not get rid of him, he will cause endless trouble!”

Buddha waved his hand, "The grand plan of Journey to the West will be arranged by Heaven."

Your eagerness for quick success has backfired, making you fall into their trap.

"Jiang Wang, tell me, where is Jin Chanzi?"

Jiang Wang rolled his eyes and laughed, "Don't worry, World Honored One, Jin Chanzi is doing very well."

I've hidden him inside the purple-gold gourd; when the time is right, I will release him.

"How dare you threaten me?"

The Buddha's tone was calm, yet carried a hint of authority.

Jiang Wang quickly waved his hand, "No, no!"
"World Honored One, I only wish to slow down the Journey to the West, lest the old man Bodhi act too hastily and ruin the great undertaking."

Bodhi Patriarch sneered, "Jiang Wang, don't try to argue!"
Where is the purple-gold gourd?
Hand it over quickly! "

Jiang Wang laughed heartily, "What's the rush?"
The gourd in my hands has its own wonderful uses.

"Bodhi, if you continue to pressure me, believe me, I'll make Jin Chanzi marry and have children, completely extinguishing your dreams of traveling to the West!"

"you dare!"

The Bodhi Patriarch was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end, and he raised his hand to strike again.

Laozi coughed lightly, “Bodhi, what Jiang Wang said is not without reason.”

The journey to the West cannot be rushed.

Besides, this kid is unpredictable; you might not be able to do anything to him.

Bodhi Patriarch gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Wang, "Fine, Jiang Wang, I'll remember you!"

There's plenty of time, let's wait and see!

Jiang Wang shrugged and smiled, "I'm always ready."

"Old Bodhi, I've certainly seen your Seven Arrows of Nailhead technique; next time you'll have to come up with something new."

The Buddha shook his head and sighed, "Enough, Bodhi, you may leave now."

Jiang Wang, I'll trust you this once.

"You'd better handle the matter concerning Jin Chanzi."

Jiang Wang cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty."

"Old Bodhi, go back and contemplate this carefully, stop thinking about harming people all day long."

Bodhi Patriarch glared fiercely at Jiang Wang, then turned into a golden light and disappeared into the night sky.

The Buddha and Lao Tzu exchanged a glance and then departed.

Outside the meditation room, a gentle night breeze blew. Jiang Wang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the night sky, a smile playing on his lips. "The Journey to the West plan, hehe, old Bodhi, you're still a long way from trying to fight me."

In the distance, in the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor sat on his dragon throne. Hearing the roar of the Bodhi Patriarch, he couldn't help but chuckle, "That kid Jiang Wang is really interesting."

Bodhi has really suffered a major setback this time.

The immortals around him exchanged bewildered glances, and Nezha couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Jiang Wang has ruined the Journey to the West. Shouldn't we send heavenly soldiers and generals to capture him?"

The Jade Emperor waved his hand, "No need."

Jiang Wang is a man of great fortune; even Bodhi cannot do anything about him. Why should I get involved in this mess?

"Just watch the show."

In the Tushita Palace, Laozi sat cross-legged beside the alchemy furnace, shaking his head and sighing, "Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang, you brat, you've stirred up trouble in the Three Realms. I'd like to see what other waves you can create."

In the underworld, the ten Kings of Hell gathered together, and upon hearing the roar of the Bodhi Patriarch, they all trembled in fear.

King Qin Guang said in a low voice, "This Jiang Wang even dares to play tricks on Patriarch Bodhi. We must be careful and not provoke him."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked distressed and sighed, "This Jiang Wang has a peculiar destiny. He has ruined the grand plan of the Journey to the West, and no one can control him."

Alas, the cycle of cause and effect is upon us; a great calamity may be brewing.

Inside Jinshan Temple, Jiang Wang had returned to his meditation room, sitting cross-legged on a futon, playing with a purple-gold gourd in his hand, muttering to himself, "Jin Chanzi, you can stay inside for now."

"I'd like to see what tricks that old man Bodhi has up his sleeve regarding the Journey to the West."

He looked up at the window, where moonlight streamed in, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes. "The turmoil in the Three Realms has begun because of me. This show is getting more and more interesting."

The night was as dark as ink, and the clouds and mist swirled above Jiangzhou, faintly revealing a sense of oppressive and chilling atmosphere.

Bodhi Patriarch sat cross-legged atop Lingtai Mountain, with a hazy, ethereal light behind him, making his gaunt face appear even more stern.

His gaze pierced through the layers of clouds, fixed on the dimly lit city of Jiangzhou below, his brows furrowed, as if endless frustration was churning within him.

"Foolish, utterly foolish!"

Bodhi slammed his hand on the blue stone beside him, and a thin crack appeared on the stone's surface. "How could I have been so careless!"

The Seven Arrows of Nailheads had clearly bound Jiang Wang, so why... why did he manage to escape?!

A golden statue beside him trembled slightly, as if responding to his anger.

Bodhi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the anger in his heart.

He recalled the grand formation he had set up a few days ago. The Seven Arrows of Nailhead was an ancient secret technique, specifically designed to break the bodies of immortals and gods. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to escape its curse-killing power.

He personally performed the spell to confirm that Jiang Wang had been cursed and his breath was gradually weakening. However, on the last day, due to a moment of negligence, he failed to check carefully and shut down the formation.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wang slipped away like an eel and disappeared without a trace!
“Jiang Wang…”

Bodhi gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "What tricks does this boy have that he can deceive my discerning eyes?"

Could it be that he truly possesses the power to defy fate?

He stood up, hands behind his back, his gaze sinister.

In Jiangzhou City, Jiang Wang's whereabouts remain a mystery, but Bodhi Heart knows that this person is no ordinary person.

If left unchecked, the grand plan of the Journey to the West may face further complications.

His mind raced, and he suddenly sneered: "Hmph, Jiang Wang, do you think you can rest easy after escaping this calamity?"
I'd like to see where you can run to!

Bodhi raised his hand and waved it, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from his palm, shooting straight into the sky.

Golden light transformed into countless runes in the air, layer upon layer, like an inverted galaxy, instantly covering the entire Jiangzhou.

The Great Array of Sumeru!

This formation is Bodhi's trump card, enough to seal off a whole area. Even if a Quasi-Saint were to arrive, it would be difficult to break its restrictions.

"Master, what's wrong...?"

Upon seeing this, the boy standing nearby couldn't help but speak up, his voice tinged with alarm.

Bodhi glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "This Jiang Wang is extremely cunning. If I don't completely trap him, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future!"

This time, I will blockade the entire Jiangzhou, cutting off all his escape routes!
Thirty-five years later, Jin Chanzi will be born. At that time, I will send him away from Jiangzhou. As for Jiang Wang…”

He paused, a ruthless glint in his eyes, "If he dares to disrupt the Journey to the West again, I will imprison him in this formation forever and turn him to ashes!"

The boy lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

Bodhi turned his gaze back to Jiangzhou, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Jiang Wang, I'd like to see what other trouble you can cause!"

Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard within Jiangzhou City, Jiang Wang sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint blue light. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were comprehending the universe, but in reality, his divine sense had already reached out and sensed the invisible oppressive force above Jiangzhou.

"The Great Array of Sumeru Boundless..."

Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Old Bodhi, to trap me, you've gone so far as to seal off the entire Jiangzhou. What a grand gesture!"

He stood up, pushed open the window, and looked through the night towards the faintly shimmering rune screen on the horizon.

The people of Jiangzhou were still fast asleep, completely unaware that they had been trapped in an invisible cage.

A flash of anger crossed Jiang Wang's eyes as he muttered, "Bodhi, for the sake of your so-called Journey to the West, you disregard the livelihoods and lives of the people in this entire prefecture. Your heart is so poisonous it's outrageous!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, his thoughts churning.

Bodhi's actions were clearly intended to trap him completely and force him to hand over Jin Chanzi.

But is Jiang Wang someone who can be manipulated by others?

He sneered and muttered to himself, "The Sumeru Boundless Formation is powerful, but it is not without a solution."

Once I complete my mission, I will obtain the method to break the formation. At that time, this great formation will no longer be able to trap me in the slightest!

With a thought, a mysterious aura flowed within Jiang Wang's body, subtly merging with the heavens and earth.

He knew that although Bodhi's formation was powerful, as long as he could decipher its secrets, breaking the formation was only a matter of time.

Moreover, he still has a secret technique he hasn't used yet—the art of shifting stars and changing constellations!
This technique can change the world and reverse fate, enough to extricate him from any predicament.

only……

"The backlash from Heaven..."

Jiang Wang frowned, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Although this technique is powerful, the cost of using it once is extremely high, and he would never try it lightly unless absolutely necessary.

At that very moment, in the distant Western Paradise, in a magnificent golden palace, the Sage Zhunti sat serenely on a lotus throne, his face as still as water.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, reaching all the way to Jiangzhou.

The hall was filled with the smoke of incense and the sounds of chanting, but it could not conceal the raging fury in his eyes.

"Bodhi!"

Zhunti slammed his hand on the lotus platform, golden light scattering everywhere, making the entire hall vibrate. "How dare you be so incompetent!"

That Jiang Wang is just a rogue cultivator, yet you've failed him time and time again!
"The Seven Arrows of Nailhead are so powerful, they couldn't even kill a mere Golden Immortal like him. How dare you come to see me?!"

Your Highness, the incarnation of Bodhi bowed his head and knelt in worship, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

He quickly kowtowed, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
That Jiang Wang is exceptionally cunning; I was momentarily careless and failed to…”

"negligence?!"

Zhunti snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, "Your negligence almost ruined my grand plan of the Journey to the West!"
"Jiang Wang is not dead, so the matter of Jin Chanzi's reincarnation has become uncertain. Do you know the gravity of this matter?!"

Bodhi dared not raise his head, but whispered, "This disciple knows his mistake and is willing to set up the Sumeru Boundless Array again to completely trap Jiang Wang in Jiangzhou, so that he will never have another chance to take advantage of the situation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's expression softened slightly, but his eyes still held a hint of disdain: "The Sumeru Boundless Formation?"
Hmph, since Jiang Wang managed to escape from you once, he might not necessarily be trapped to death by this formation.

Do you know why he was able to dodge the Seven Arrows of Nailhead?

Bodhi was taken aback and hurriedly said, "This disciple is completely baffled and begs the Sage for guidance!"

Zhunti sneered and slowly said, "This boy possesses a strange skill called Star Shifting and Dipper Changing, which can change the world and reverse fate!"

Although the Seven Arrows of Nailhead is powerful, if he uses this technique, he can avoid the curse's killing intent!

Upon hearing this, Bodhi's expression changed: "Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations?"
!

This technique... this technique has long been lost?
How could Jiang Wang know?!

Zhunti narrowed his eyes, his tone cold: "Lost in history?"
Hmph, there are always some extraordinary talents in the world who can glimpse a glimmer of opportunity from the endless years.

"This Jiang Wang is no ordinary person. I observe that his destiny faintly indicates a tendency to defy the heavens. If he is not eliminated soon, he may become a great threat!"

Bodhi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Sage, since Jiang Wang has this skill, if he uses Star Shifting and Constellation Changing to break my great formation, how should I deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti suddenly revealed a strange smile.

He slowly rose, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice with a hint of pride: "The Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations technique is powerful, but the backlash from Heaven is even stronger!"
If Jiang Wang dares to use this technique lightly, he will surely incur severe punishment from Heaven. At that time, we won't even need to lift a finger; he will bring about his own destruction!

Bodhi paused, seemingly understanding something, but then frowned and said, "But what if he's not afraid of the backlash and forcibly breaks the formation..."

"Break the formation?"

Zhunti sneered, a sly glint in his eyes, "Bodhi, you underestimate me too much."

Although Jiang Wang is strong, he has not yet become a quasi-saint, and his foundation is not stable. I have my own ways to ensure he can never rise again!

Bodhi quickly looked up and asked anxiously, "What does the sage mean?"

Zhunti slowly turned around, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and said slowly, "The Old Man of the Moon governs the marriages of the three realms. Once the red thread is tied, even immortals and gods cannot escape."

I intend to send someone to infiltrate the Palace of the Old Man Under the Moon and secretly tie a red thread for Jiang Wang!
Regardless of whether the other person is male or female, old or young, or even a pig, dog, cow or sheep, he will lead them all!
May he be forever condemned to the torment of love, never to be reborn!

Upon hearing this, Bodhi was first taken aback, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Sage, the Old Man of the Moon is in charge of marriage and has a transcendent status. How dare he lay a hand on Jiang Wang?"
Moreover, if Jiang Wang were to discover this, he would surely use the Star Shifting Technique to change his fate…

"Hahaha!"

Zhunti laughed loudly, his laughter tinged with a sinister edge, "Bodhi, you're still too green!"
Although the Old Man of the Moon is in charge of marriage, he is just a minor god, how dare he disobey my will?

As for Jiang Wang, if he dares to use the Star Shifting Technique to change his fate again, the backlash from Heaven will be even more severe!
How could his mere Golden Immortal body withstand such a thing?!

Upon hearing this, Bodhi's eyes flashed with a hint of awe, and he quickly kowtowed: "A sage's plan is brilliant!"
"This disciple will immediately arrange for someone to infiltrate the Palace of the Old Man of the Moon, ensuring that Jiang Wang falls into a love tribulation from which he can never escape!"

Zhunti waved his hand, his tone indifferent yet carrying a hint of murderous intent: "Go, but don't fail again."

If Jiang Wang doesn't die, the grand plan of the Journey to the West will be difficult to achieve.

If you make another mistake, don't blame me for showing no mercy!

Bodhi's heart trembled, and he quickly replied, "Disciple obeys!"

In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the golden light gradually dissipated, and Zhunti sat back on the lotus throne, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips: "Jiang Wang, I'd like to see how many calamities you can escape!"

Meanwhile, inside Jiangzhou City, Jiang Wang stood in a small courtyard, his gaze fixed on the Sumeru Boundless Array in the sky, his brows slightly furrowed.

He felt a vague unease, as if some greater conspiracy was about to strike him.

"Bodhi, Cundi..."

Jiang Wang muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "You've laid a net of heaven and earth, thinking you can trap me?"

"Hmph, thirty-five years from now, I'll show you how I, Jiang, break through the formation and defy the heavens!"

As the night wind blew, Jiang Wang's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a low, cold laugh that echoed in the night sky of Jiangzhou.

Jiang Wang stood atop the mountain, his robes fluttering in the breeze, but his gaze was as deep and cold as a pool, fixed on the void in the distance that had been shrouded by the array.

Just moments before, the area was shrouded in layers of restrictions set up by Patriarch Bodhi, with spiritual energy intertwined like a net, faintly revealing a murderous intent.

But now, the formation has quietly dissipated like morning mist, revealing clear sunlight, as if it had never existed.

Jiang Wang frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and muttered to himself, "What tricks is this old guy up to now?"

His mind raced, recalling the "Seven Arrows of Nailhead" incident from several months prior.

That's the matter. (End of Chapter)
