"What? The Three Immortals of Sanxiao and a group of mysterious experts suddenly went to see the Stone Monkey just as he was about to leave Flower Fruit Mountain to become a disciple at Fangcun Mountain?"
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard the report from the Buddhist monastery, her expression immediately turned serious.
It should be understood that Journey to the West is not only about whether Buddhism can flourish, but also about the cultivation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
He was appointed by Buddha to be in charge of the Journey to the West.
If she can successfully supervise the project and complete the Journey to the West, she will be blessed with immense merit and good fortune, enabling her to advance even further!
Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally takes matters concerning her own spiritual path very seriously!
...
"As celestial beings of the Heavenly Court, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao knew the importance of the Stone Monkey to Buddhism, so why did they go to see the Stone Monkey at this time?"
"Is this the Jade Emperor's intention? Or... is it related to the Jie Sect?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, recalling an unpleasant memory.
She was once a member of the Chan Sect, and as a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, she was ranked among the Twelve Golden Immortals.
However, during the Investiture of the Gods, all twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, including Guanyin Bodhisattva, were defeated by the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation set up by the Three Immortals of Sanxiao. Their three flowers and five qi were cut off, and they suffered a very miserable defeat!
That terrible memory is still clearly etched in Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart, and she will probably never forget it for all eternity!
...
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva heard that the Three Immortals of Sanxiao had very strangely interfered in the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.
Various speculations arose in her mind.
As a high-ranking member of the Buddhist community, Guanyin Bodhisattva was well aware that the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist community had a cooperative relationship regarding the Journey to the West.
Even if the Jade Emperor harbored some dissatisfaction with the Journey to the West, he certainly wouldn't openly send people to cause trouble.
Not to mention, they sent out the Three Immortals of the Jie Sect, who were once powerful figures!
Therefore, after ruling out the possibility that the Jade Emperor sent the Three Immortals of Sanxiao to cause trouble.
Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally thought of the Jie Sect and the Tongtian Sect Leader!
"Could it be that the Jie Sect wants to take advantage of the Journey to the West to cause trouble?"
While thinking, Guanyin Bodhisattva used her magic to direct her divine sense toward the direction of Flower Fruit Mountain.
...
When Guanyin Bodhisattva's divine sense saw the scene inside the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, her eyes widened involuntarily, and she was greatly shocked!
As a representative of Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva possesses extremely broad knowledge.
Buddhist monks only recognize the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, but Guanyin Bodhisattva is recognized by everyone except Yin Zicheng!
Not only the Three Immortals, but also the powerful Kunlun Queen Mother of the West, Nuwa's confidante Jin Ning, Daji who had already died in the Investiture of the Gods, and Ao Tingxin, the most beautiful woman of the Dragon Clan, all appeared in the Water Curtain Cave at the same time.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was greatly shocked, and her expression immediately darkened, becoming extremely solemn:
How did they end up together on Flower Fruit Mountain?
"What...what on earth is going on?!"
...
Upon seeing the group of people inside the Water Curtain Cave, Guanyin Bodhisattva realized that things were in grave danger.
As a powerful and intelligent being with extensive knowledge, Guanyin Bodhisattva was very clear about what the Three Immortal Maidens, the Queen Mother of the West, Jin Ning, Daji, and others represented.
The Three Immortals of Sanxiao represent the Jie Sect, with the gods of the Jie Sect and even the Heavenly Sage Tongtian Jiaozhu standing behind them!
The Queen Mother of the West is a powerful figure whose seniority is no less than that of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, and is among the most senior powerful beings in the primordial world.
She was the head of the female immortals appointed by Hongjun Laozu before the Queen Mother of the West.
She possessed the qualities to become a saint, and in terms of aptitude and cultivation, she was no less than the Three Pure Ones or Nuwa. Unfortunately, she lacked the opportunity to become a saint and was unable to achieve sainthood like the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.
Even though she failed to become a saint, the Queen Mother of the West was still an absolute powerhouse among the cultivators of the prehistoric world. Her strength was second only to saints and even surpassed that of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Jin Ning, daughter of Yuan Feng, the former overlord of the primordial world, elder sister of the Buddhist Peacock King, and the trusted mount of Nuwa, the sage of the Heavenly Dao.
She herself is a powerful and influential person.
Her origins make her a representative of the Phoenix Clan, the former overlords of the primordial world.
Her current identity is that of the goddess Nuwa!
Daji, like Jin Ning, is on Nuwa's side.
More importantly, she had already died completely in the Investiture of the Gods calamity a whole calamity ago!
How could such a fox demon, whose soul had been scattered, reappear in the primordial world?
Reviving a powerful fox demon whose soul has been scattered is an extremely difficult task.
At the very least, Guanyin Bodhisattva, as a quasi-saint, simply could not do that!
...
Just imagine it.
When a top-tier quasi-saint below a saint, a confidant of the saint Nuwa, a fox demon who once stirred up the Investiture of the Gods, and three disciples of Tongtian gather together, what a powerful force that represents!
This involves two saints and one top-tier quasi-saint.
This power is something that even the Buddhist sect, which is now faintly able to challenge the Heavenly Court, must be wary of and take seriously!
Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, a great storm raging in her heart:
"Could it be that Nuwa and Tongtian have joined forces to plot against Journey to the West and against our Buddhist sect?"
"Their ambitions must be immense; otherwise, the Queen Mother of the West, who has always lived in seclusion in Kunlun, would never have joined them!"
"Their simultaneous appearance and contact with the stone monkey at this moment must indicate a major event!"
At this moment, even if Yin Zicheng told Guanyin Bodhisattva that the reason he brought the Three Immortals and the Queen Mother of the West to the Water Curtain Cave was just to say hello to Sun Wukong and get a free meal, Guanyin Bodhisattva would definitely not believe him.
She was already convinced that the appearance of the Three Immortals and the Queen Mother of the West in the Water Curtain Cave must be for some grand purpose!
"I am no match for the Queen Mother of the West. This matter is of great importance, and I must inform the Buddha immediately!"
Immediately, Guanyin Bodhisattva activated her supernatural powers and contacted the Buddha!
