When the scalpel in his hand was wielded to its fullest extent, Taiyi Zhenren let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, which sent chills down the spines of all who heard it.

The agonizing screams of Taiyi Zhenren terrified the lesser demons in and around Skull Mountain, who trembled and moved away overnight.

Shi Ji had to apologize from time to time, mainly because it was her first time doing it and she wasn't used to it, so there were bound to be some mistakes when she made the cut.

Taiyi Zhenren was in so much pain that his eyes were rolling back in his head. He really wanted to faint, but how could Shiji allow him to?

If he faints, wouldn't that be letting him off easy?!

If someone in northern Myanmar were fortunate enough to witness this scene, they would surely regard it as a masterpiece.

They're already ruthless enough for not using anesthesia, but this guy also had to stay fully conscious—truly remarkable!

Taiyi Zhenren: ⊙?⊙!

I...I feel like dying!

now,

Inside the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain,

The Primordial Celestial Lord witnessed everything inside the White Bone Cave, and his expression was extremely grim.

Shi Ji's methods are truly too cruel. Killing someone is nothing more than a quick death, what is she doing?!

As he tapped the severed kidney, Yuanshi Tianzun somehow felt a cool sensation in his lower back.

In response,

Yuanshi Tianzun stopped looking. In short, Taiyi Zhenren was not in any danger, and for his safety, Shiji should not be angered.

Um!

Yes, this is entirely for the safety of Taiyi Zhenren.

Despite thinking this, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was still extremely unpleasant.

My mind is in turmoil!

Even Shiji joined a branch of the Jie Sect, so how could the Investiture of the Gods proceed?

Who is behind this?!

Yuanshi Tianzun was already going crazy. How could the Chan Sect defeat the Jie Sect and make the Chan Sect prosper, thus gaining immense benefits for himself?

Even though I'm filled with resentment, there's nothing I can do. The only thing I can do is find out who's behind this as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be irreversible!

But... even if we find the person behind it all, so what?! Each of the disciples is so powerful, even if the Dao Ancestor and they joined forces, they would still be no match for them!

Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable was somewhat at a loss as to what to do next!

at the same time,

Inside the White Bone Cave of Skull Mountain,

Shi Ji looked at the two severed kidneys and the dying Taiyi Zhenren.

Shi Ji was busy helping Taiyi Zhenren recover from his injuries, quickly treating his wounds, as she couldn't let Taiyi Zhenren's life be in danger.

According to Master, if both kidneys are gone, the person will die.

However, that applies to mortals. Taiyi Zhenren is a deity. Although he plucked two, he was still able to survive and was not in danger of losing his life.

Moreover, given his cultivation level, these two kidneys can still recover and regrow.

After giving Taiyi Zhenren a simple treatment, Shiji felt the power of the primordial essence in the two kidneys that were cut off, and this power was helpful to her.

This made Shi Ji's eyes flash with a glint of shrewdness as she looked at Taiyi Zhenren. Wasn't this just a ready-made treasure trove? She could torment him and it would also benefit her.

Most importantly, with more practice, your kidney-cutting skills will definitely improve rapidly.

This sent a chill down Taiyi Zhenren's spine, and his body involuntarily trembled.

Instantly, a bad feeling spread throughout his body, making Taiyi Zhenren's heart pound.

And a sense of emptiness spread.

Taiyi Zhenren: This is an unprecedented illusion! Even if I were to run now, I wouldn't be able to stand up on my own two legs!

...

at the same time,

The west,

Zhunti and Jieyin no longer hesitated. Now that the situation in the Investiture of the Gods had changed, and given the current circumstances, it was no longer possible to maintain the previously arranged course of events, after some discussion, Zhunti and Jieyin decided to take the initiative.

This time, it is imperative to recruit strong individuals to strengthen the Western Sect. Even if the overall situation changes again during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the pace of the Western Sect's growth must not falter in the slightest.

On their journey from the west, Zhunti and Jieyin suddenly stopped.

"Senior brother, that's... the six-winged celestial silkworm, the king of the five insects!?" Zhunti hurriedly asked.

The six-winged celestial silkworm feeds exclusively on beings from the six realms of existence. Its appetite is like a bottomless pit, and its body has a hard shell, making it fearless of swords and spears, and unafraid of water and fire. This is the later Golden Cicada.

(Note: The Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm was only called Golden Cicada after it joined Buddhism. For the sake of convenience, I'll just write Golden Cicada directly! Just to clarify, please don't say I'm padding this out, and please don't scold me. Although I'm an 18-year-old new author, I have depression. Be careful, or I might just kill myself!)

Jieyin nodded slightly, "I observe that he has an affinity with my Western religion!"

"good!"

"Excellent!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhunti and Jieyin instantly appeared in front of Jin Chanzi.

“Fellow Daoist, I see that you have an affinity with my Western Sect. I will guide you into the Western Sect. Are you willing?” Zhunti said.

Jin Chanzi: ? ? ?

These two are Cundi and Jieyin!

Master was right, these two are indeed shameless. They come up here and say they have a connection with your Western Sect. What kind of connection do they have?

According to Master's instructions, the guide interrupted my transformation and led me into the Western Religion.

Because I attained enlightenment through Mahayana Buddhism from Hinayana Buddhism, I incurred the Buddha's suspicion. He found a pretext to banish me into the cycle of reincarnation, making me Tang Sanzang, the protagonist of the Journey to the West, and allowing them to manipulate me at will.

snort!

In other words, this isn't the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West right now, otherwise we'd let them experience another version of the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West as described by our Master:

[Tang Sanzang: I have a route in the Western Paradise. The risks are great, but the rewards are considerable!]

[Sun Xingzhe: You're the coward, Buddha! Trying to fool me?! Fortune changes every thirty years, don't underestimate a young man's potential, today I'll beat you to death!]

[Zhu Bajie: My master said, "My success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers. Guanyin, you don't want others to know about that night, do you? So... I'm begging you again!"]

[Kill without mercy: I, Old Killer, rely on three things to survive in this world: ruthlessness, loyalty, and my great-father, Sanzang!]

[White Dragon: Buddha! Pick up the scriptures! Pick up the scriptures!]

Today, I, Tang Sanzang, have come to Mount Ling to do only three things: seize the scriptures, kill the Buddha, and destroy Buddhism!

Who's in favor? Who's against?!

[...]

at this time,

Jin Chanzi looked at Zhunti and Jieyin coldly and said, "Get out of here! What Western Sect! If you dare to make another sound, I'll knock your teeth out!"

Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions instantly darkened.

Jieyin said coldly, "Six-winged Heavenly Silkworm, as the number one ferocious insect, you have brought chaos to the world. We two originally wanted to save you, to cleanse you of your sins, and to lead you back to the righteous path. But it seems you are stubborn and unrepentant. So we have no choice but to suppress you, take you back to the Western Sect, and let you be baptized and shed your ferocity!"

The guide replied, "Excellent!"

Jin Chanzi's face was gloomy and disdainful as he said, "You two old geezers?! You think you can suppress me? Today, if I don't knock out your front teeth, then what?!"
