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

He gritted his teeth and whispered, “What a heavy Chaos Mountain Heart!”

As expected of an innate treasure of the earth element, after I absorbed it, although its defense was strong, it still made me unable to move.

"Fine, as long as I can withstand this attack, once I break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, this treasure will be mine!"

He suppressed the surging magical power within him, but remained outwardly calm, and continued to say to Bodhi: "Master, the secret of the Journey to the West is actually related to Emperor Fuxi."

Back then, he…

Under the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong, who was originally struggling to breathe, suddenly felt a lightness on his back, as if an invisible burden had been lifted.

He tried to circulate his magic power, and with a sudden push, the mountain actually lifted slightly, and golden light shone through the cracks.

Overjoyed, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I, Old Sun, am finally going to escape this predicament!"

"Tang Sanzang, quickly step back! Don't get hit by this mountain!"

He turned to look at the trembling Tang Sanzang beside him, his tone tinged with mockery: "Bald monk, I, Old Sun, have been imprisoned for five hundred years, and today I will finally see the light of day again!"
"Bodhi, you've suppressed me, Old Sun, for so long! Once I'm released, I'll definitely settle the score with you!"

Tang Sanzang's face turned pale, and he retreated repeatedly, saying in a trembling voice, "Wukong, stop talking nonsense!"

Bodhi Patriarch is a person of great supernatural powers, how can you be so disrespectful?

Come out quickly, don't cause any more trouble!

Although he scolded him verbally, he was secretly delighted, knowing that Sun Wukong was about to escape.

The sage Zhunti, far away on Mount Ling, with his all-seeing eye, had already taken in everything beneath the Five Elements Mountain.

Seeing that the Chaos Mountain Heart had detached from the mountain and entered Jiang Wang's body, he frowned and transmitted his voice to Bodhi, his tone urgent: "Bodhi, this Jiang Wang is full of tricks. He was able to ignore the Sumeru Boundless Array and directly recall the Chaos Mountain Heart!"

He must have a method to control the formation, and after this treasure enters the body, the defense will be greatly increased. If you delay any longer, something unexpected may happen!

"Act quickly and kill him!"

Bodhi was taken aback by what he heard, and angrily asked, "What do you mean, senior brother?"
Jiang Wang is just a junior. Even if he has a supreme treasure protecting him, how can he stop my Seven Treasures Tree?
Senior brother, you underestimate me too much!

Although he was unconvinced, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart. He locked his gaze on Jiang Wang and sneered, "Boy, you've delayed long enough!"

This old Taoist priest has lost patience with your nonsense; today I will send you to your death!

Without further hesitation, he raised the Seven-Seven Treasure Tree, which shone brightly with purple light. Ten thousand rays of light condensed into a giant finger, carrying a world-destroying power, and slowly pointed it down at Jiang Wang.

The world was in turmoil, the Three Realms were shaken, mountains and rocks collapsed, and the void twisted, as if the entire Five Elements Mountain was about to be crushed by this attack.

Jiang Wang's expression tightened, knowing that he was facing a life-or-death situation.

He shouted, "The Great Array of Sumeru, activate!"

With his hands forming hand seals, he activated the formation, and countless light screens rose from the ground, layer upon layer, transforming into a giant golden shield that blocked his way.

However, the giant purple finger of the Seven Treasures Tree was incredibly powerful. The moment it touched the light barrier, the formation crumbled like paper and collapsed completely in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Wang's heart sank, thinking to himself, "As expected of a sage's strike, even the mighty Sumeru Immeasurable Formation can't withstand it for long!"

He acted decisively, using the technique of standing upright and disappearing into the void once again, attempting to reduce the damage.

Upon seeing this, Bodhi burst into laughter, his tone full of sarcasm: "Jiang Wang, you think you can dodge this old Taoist's attack with your concealment technique?"
wishful thinking!

You can't escape today!

The Seven Treasures Tree in his hand shone even brighter, and the giant purple finger increased its speed, carrying endless pressure as it pointed directly at Jiang Wang.

When Zhunti saw this situation on Mount Ling, he frowned and transmitted his voice, saying, "Bodhi, do not be careless!"

Jiang Wang is protected by the Chaos Mountain Heart, making his defense formidable. If this attack fails to kill him, the consequences could be dire!
Give it your all, hold nothing back!

His voice carried a hint of anxiety, clearly indicating his considerable fear of Jiang Wang's methods.

Bodhi snorted coldly and replied, "Don't worry, senior brother, this brat will die today!"
Beneath the Seven Treasures Tree, no one can survive!

He pushed his magical power to its limit, and the giant purple finger crashed down like a collapsing pillar of heaven, distorting and shattering the void where Jiang Wang was, as if it were about to grind him into dust.

Jiang Wang was in the void, feeling the immense power brought by the Chaos Mountain Heart. His internal magic power surged wildly as he tried to withstand this earth-shattering blow.

He whispered, "Bodhi, Zhunti, do you want to kill me?"
Not that easy!
"Chaos Mountain Heart, hold the line!"

He gritted his teeth and activated his treasure, causing an earthy yellow light to emanate from his body, transforming into an invisible barrier to meet the giant purple finger.

Jiang Wang's body floated in the void, and the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, showing fine cracks, like shattered glass.

His breath was weak, a trickle of crimson blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his robes were already tattered from the power of the saint, revealing mottled wounds.

Nevertheless, his eyes remained sharp, carrying a hint of unyielding light, fixed on the pale golden figure in the distance.

"The sage's finger... truly lives up to its reputation."

Jiang Wang muttered to himself, his voice hoarse yet tinged with a hint of mockery, "Unfortunately, your finger still failed to kill me in the end."

In the distance, amidst the golden light of Mount Ling, the figure of the Sage Zhunti could be seen faintly.

His deep eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of doubt and confusion.

"Jiang Wang, why don't you use spatial teleportation to escape?"

"With your abilities, you certainly wouldn't be capable of withstanding this attack head-on."

Zhunti's voice was deep and majestic, resounding through the heavens, as if the world itself was responding to his question.

Jiang Wang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Zhunti, do you think I don't want to run away?"
"If it weren't for certain restrictions, do you think I'd be stupid enough to stand here and let you point at me?"

He didn't say much, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had something to hide but was unwilling to reveal it.

Zhunti frowned, as if calculating something. After a moment, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes: "So that's how it is. Your spatial power is limited and you can't use it."

"Hmph, you're lucky to have survived a direct hit from my finger. Jiang Wang, you really do have some skills."

Meanwhile, inside the Biyou Palace of the Jie Sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader sat on a cloud bed, with an ancient bronze mirror floating in front of him, reflecting the scene of Jiang Wang confronting Zhunti.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration: "This lad does have some courage."

To survive a single blow from a sage...tsk tsk, another interesting fellow has emerged in this primordial world.

On the other side, inside the Tushita Palace, Laozi sat cross-legged beside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, holding a spiritual pill in his hand, but his gaze was fixed on the distance.

His expression was calm, yet it carried a hint of solemnity: "If Jiang Wang doesn't die, the Chaos Wonders will reappear, and the Primordial World is likely to be thrown into turmoil once again."

Countless eons... perhaps it's not far off.

He sighed softly, and the elixir in his hand turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor sat regally in the Lingxiao Palace, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

Your Highness, Zhao Gongming and the Three Fairy Maidens of Sanxiao stood respectfully.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "The fairy Chang'e has been found. You all must descend to the mortal realm immediately and bring her back to the heavenly realm."

If this succeeds, I will reward you handsomely!

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "As you command!"

They then transformed into four streams of light and vanished into the mortal world.

At the same time, Jiang Wang, despite his severe injuries, tightly gripped a strange object emanating a chaotic aura—the Chaotic Mountain Heart.

This strange object was entirely black, with faint starlight flowing around it, as if it contained endless mysteries.

He glanced down at it, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Good stuff, it certainly didn't disappoint." Without further hesitation, he tossed the Chaos Mountain Heart toward the Five Elements Mountain not far away.

"boom!"

As the Chaos Mountain Heart entered the Five Elements Mountain, the mountain trembled slightly, emitting a strange fluctuation that caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become disordered.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wang's figure flashed, turning into a blur and disappearing into the horizon.

On Mount Kunlun, the Primordial Celestial Venerable sat cross-legged in the Jade Void Palace, his gaze profound, as if he had seen through everything.

He whispered, "The Heart of Chaos Mountain... This thing has actually reappeared in the primordial world."

Jiang Wang, what is your background?

He flicked his finger, and a jade talisman flew out, falling into the void, its destination unknown.

Inside the Tushita Palace, Li Er (Laozi) also frowned slightly and murmured, "The heart of Chaos Mountain, Jiang Wang's actions will likely attract the covetousness of the Three Realms."

The world has been peaceful for too long; the days to come are likely to be quite lively.

He waved his sleeve, and the furnace roared to life, as if he were refining some kind of magical treasure.

At the foot of Five Elements Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction where Jiang Wang had disappeared, his face ashen.

The air around him distorted slightly, and the phantom of the Sage Zhunti slowly emerged.

Bodhi sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Even with the sage's attack, Jiang Wang did not die, and even threw the Chaos Mountain Heart into the Five Elements Mountain."

That kid is a real headache.

The phantom of Zhunti snorted coldly, his voice carrying a hint of reproach: "Bodhi, you are too useless!"

Although Jiang Wang is not dead, he is seriously injured and will not recover for at least a hundred years.

"If you can't even handle this small matter, how can the grand plan of Journey to the West proceed?"

Upon hearing this, Bodhi gave a bitter smile: "Sage, Jiang Wangna's Shadowless Technique is unpredictable and mysterious. Although I wish to pursue him, I am powerless to do so."

Moreover, the monkey under the Five Elements Mountain is still trapped, and as for the Journey to the West... I fear I am incapable of shouldering such a great responsibility.”

"Without further ado!"

Zhunti's voice suddenly became stern, causing the void to tremble slightly, "Jiang Wang sent the Chaos Mountain Heart into the Five Elements Mountain, causing the Journey to the West to stop. You cannot escape the blame for this!"

However, it's too late to complain now.

You must emulate the Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains, breaking the task down into smaller parts and moving each stone of the Five Elements Mountain one by one. Success is imperative within thirty years!

Upon hearing this, Bodhi's face immediately fell, and he couldn't help but complain, "Move mountains?"
Sage, this Five Elements Mountain was personally laid down by the Buddha and is indestructible. How can I move it within thirty years with my own strength?

If we can gather manpower and combine everyone's strength, perhaps there is still hope..."

"Shut up!"

Zhunti roared angrily, his tone full of impatience, "Too many people talking too much, things can easily go wrong!"

You must simply follow my instructions without the slightest disobedience!

"I will make the preparations for Lingbao for you. Thirty years is enough time for you to complete this matter!"

Bodhi opened his mouth, wanting to argue a few more words, but feeling Zhunti's unquestionable aura, he could only nod helplessly: "I will obey the sage's decree."

He turned to look at the Five Elements Mountain, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Jiang Wang, what exactly are you plotting?"
"The heart of Chaos Mountain...this primordial world is likely to descend into chaos."

Beneath the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong was pressed down at the bottom, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

He growled, "Jiang Wang!"
You bastard, you just threw down a broken rock and ran away, leaving me, Old Sun, to suffer here at the bottom of this wretched mountain!

Just you wait, one day I, Old Sun, will climb over this Five Elements Mountain and settle accounts with you!

Jiang Wang's figure had long since disappeared into the horizon. Dragging his heavily injured body, he fled into a hidden cave.

The cave is filled with spiritual energy, and faint celestial music can be heard.

Jiang Wang sat down cross-legged, took out a few elixirs and swallowed them, his complexion improving slightly.

He closed his eyes and murmured, "Zhunti, Tongtian, Yuanshi... these old guys are probably all eyeing the heart of Chaos Mountain."

"Very well, let you fight to the death. I, Jiang Wang, will simply reap the benefits!"

In the Heavenly Court, Zhao Gongming and the Three Fairy Maidens of Sanxiao had come to the mortal realm and stood before a secluded laurel grove.

Qiongxiao said softly, "Brother, is the fairy Chang'e really here?"

She has lived in seclusion for many years; perhaps she doesn't want to return to Heaven?

Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The Jade Emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed."

Moreover, the matter between Chang'e and the Heavenly Court is deeply intertwined; if she doesn't return, it might bring even more trouble.

"Let's go in and pay our respects."

The three fairy maidens nodded and stepped into the Moon Laurel Grove together.

The moonlight shone brightly in the woods, and a graceful figure could be faintly seen sitting under the cassia tree—it was Chang'e.

She looked up at the newcomers, a complex expression flashing in her eyes, and said calmly, "Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao, what brings you here?"

Zhao Gongming cupped his hands and said, "Fairy, the Jade Emperor has decreed that you return to the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, Chang'e frowned slightly and asked in a cold tone, "The Heavenly Court?"
Ah, I have long since lost the will to set foot in that place of trouble.

Go back and tell the Jade Emperor that I will not return.

Bixiao stepped forward and said softly, "Fairy, there are undercurrents in the Heavenly Court. The matter of Jiang Wang has become known throughout the Three Realms. The Jade Emperor has summoned you back, probably because he has important matters to discuss."

If you insist on not replying, it may only cause more trouble.

Chang'e remained silent for a moment, then gazed into the distance, as if recalling something.

After a long while, she sighed softly, "Jiang Wang... this person is quite interesting."

Well then, since the Jade Emperor has given the order, I shall go.

However, I have a condition: it requires the Jade Emperor's personal approval.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Please speak, Fairy, the Jade Emperor will surely grant your request!"

Meanwhile, at the foot of Five Elements Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi had already begun the work of moving the mountain.

He held a magical shovel that shimmered with spiritual light, and with a gentle wave, the rocks turned to dust and vanished into the void.

As he dug into the mountain, he muttered a complaint: "It's easy for a sage to talk when he's not the one suffering. This Five Elements Mountain is so tough, thirty years... Hmph, I'm afraid it will kill this old man!"

In the distance, the phantom of Zhunti reappeared, his tone icy: "Bodhi, stop talking nonsense!"

Jiang Wang is an exceptionally cunning man, and the matter of the Chaos Mountain Heart is far more complex than it appears on the surface.

If you delay any longer, the entire Journey to the West plan will collapse. Can you bear the consequences?

Upon hearing this, Bodhi gave a wry smile and could only bury himself in his work.

He thought to himself, "Jiang Wang, you better pray you don't fall into my hands, otherwise, I'll make you pay!"

Inside the cave where Jiang Wang was, he had recovered some of his health. (End of Chapter)
