Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, the monkey's eyes changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. In this world, the gods and Buddhas all know that I was born and raised by nature."

"All my abilities are gifts from heaven and earth, so how can I have a master?"

"Yeah?"

Lin Zhongtian stood in front of Sun Wukong, looked at him calmly and said, "If you are worried about leaking secrets, there is no need to worry. I have used my great magical powers to conceal the secrets of heaven. Not to mention your master, even if the incarnation of heaven came in person, he would not be able to know what happened here."

"Comparing yourself to the Way of Heaven?" The monkey was slightly stunned, then sneered, "Who do you think you are, the great god Pangu?"

Lin Zhongtian thought about it and nodded in agreement: "If we only look at the status, Pangu before the creation of the world is indeed the same as me."

Sun Wukong looked stunned. He could see that Lin Zhongtian was not lying, so he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It seems that your master has specifically told you... Whatever!"

"Even if you don't tell me, I can figure out who your mentor is!"

At this point, Lin Zhongtian changed the subject and chanted leisurely, "The Great Golden Immortal has no stains, the Western Wonderful Appearance Ancestor Bodhi; the three threes are neither born nor destroyed, the whole energy, the whole spirit, and infinite compassion."

"Emptiness and silence change naturally, and the true nature allows it to happen; with a majestic body as long as the sky, he is a great master who has enlightened his mind through the ages."

"Monkey, tell me, is my calculation right or wrong?"

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, the monkey was filled with shock.

In his heart, his master was a true hermit who had no concerns about the three worlds. Since he became a master, none of the immortals, Buddhas, and gods he met knew his master's name.

But the mysterious man in green in front of him recited his master's poems casually.

How could this not shock him?

Of course, despite being shocked, Sun Wukong showed nothing on the surface.

He said coldly: "You are so unreasonable. You asked me a question and I answered you, but you didn't believe it. You insisted that I had a master and even wrote a poem for him. It's really incomprehensible!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed in silence: "You monkey, you are quite tough."

"Forget it. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Let me give you something. If you are lucky enough to meet your master again in the future, or if he still has concerns about you, he will understand my identity when he sees this thing..."

As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian waved his hand, took out a void jade token in the shape of a mobile phone from his personal space, turned it into a monkey hair, and flew to Sun Wukong's dirty head.

Sun Wukong shook his head and looked at Lin Zhongtian blankly, as if he couldn't understand this guy's intentions and origins.

Especially their origins. In front of his piercing eyes, most creatures in this world cannot escape his detection.

But Lin Zhongtian seemed to have jumped out of the Three Realms and was not in the Five Elements. No matter how hard he looked, he could hardly see anything.

"…Who are you?"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but ask again.

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly and said leisurely: "I am just a passing traveler in this world!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and Nie Changchuan beside him turned into silver light and flew into the sky.

At the same time, the sky and the earth became clear, and the secrets of heaven reappeared. Within the Three Realms, many powerful people were shocked and confused, constantly calculating the secrets of heaven, trying to find the reason for the chaos just now.

In Lingshan, Tathagata sat upright on a lotus platform, slowly opened his eyes, and looked ahead.

But there were three thousand Buddhas, five hundred Arhats, eight great Vajras, and boundless Bodhisattvas, each holding a banner, a precious canopy, rare treasures, and fairy flowers, and they were lined up in the Buddha country of Lingshan, under the twin Sala forests.

The sky is filled with auspicious clouds, and the Buddhas are surrounded by rainbow lights.

Facing the gazes of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Tathagata slowly spoke: "The chaos in the heavens is a sign that a great catastrophe is coming. This catastrophe will bring prosperity to the Western Paradise and the prosperity of Buddhism."

"It happens to be the day of the first full moon in the first month of autumn. I have a treasure basin filled with hundreds of flowers and thousands of fruits. I would like to use it to hold a Yulan Festival and invite fellow Taoists from the three realms to share the immortal flowers and fruits. What do you think?"

The Buddhas put their palms together, bowed to the Buddha three times, and said, "Good!"

Tathagata nodded slightly and cast his gaze towards a lotus platform below.

"Venerable Guanyin."

"The disciple is here."

Holding a pure bottle of nectar in his hand, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva rides on a lotus platform and approaches Tathagata surrounded by auspicious light.

Tathagata looked her over and said softly, "You have met Zhongtian Emperor once, and there is still cause and effect to be resolved. You must go to Maoshan to invite the Emperor for this Yulan Festival. Are you willing?"

Guanyin remained calm, bowed to the Buddha three times and said, "I will follow the Buddha's command."

After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva turned around and flew away from Lingshan on the lotus platform.

…

…

"Boss, are we leaving now?"

In the silver light, Nie Changchuan looked at Lin Zhongtian beside him and couldn't help asking.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Let's go. If we don't leave now, the three realms will be in chaos!"

Nie Changchuan rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it because you, Boss, have concealed the secret?"

Lin Zhongtian laughed and said, "If we don't conceal the secret, how can we see the monkey's true reaction?"

"You can't expect Sun Wukong to really reveal his master's name, right?"

"If he really does this, he's not the Monkey King we know!"

Nie Changchuan looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Have you figured out the origin of this monkey?"

"That's about right." Lin Zhongtian nodded. "Sun Wukong's attitude has proven that there is indeed a Bodhi Patriarch behind him, and the matter about this Bodhi Patriarch..."

At this point, Lin Zhongtian paused, glanced at Nie Changchuan and said, "Xiaochuan, you should have heard of it in your previous life, right?"

"There have always been different opinions about the true identity of Bodhi Patriarch. Some say he is the incarnation of the Tathagata Buddha in the West, some say he is the incarnation of the Taishang Laojun in the Tushita Palace, and some say he is the incarnation of Subhuti, a disciple of the Tathagata."

“…Which one do you think it is?”

Nie Changchuan thought about it and shook his head, "I don't think it's either one. Bodhi Patriarch is Bodhi Patriarch!"

Lin Zhongtian continued to ask: "What's the reason?"

Nie Changchuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "It seems that you are not the type of person who likes conspiracy theories."

"Indeed." Nie Changchuan nodded and asked, "What about you, Boss?"

Lin Zhongtian said leisurely: "I will not comment on the original work of Journey to the West, but in this world, I can be sure that Sun Wukong's master is definitely not Tathagata and Taishang Laojun."

"I have seen Tathagata, he can't teach a disciple like Sun Wukong."

"As for Taishang Laojun, he is pure and inactive, and has no motives. When I concealed the secrets of heaven just now, he was one of the few powerful people in the three realms who remained indifferent to it."

"If you say he is Bodhi Patriarch, I find it a little hard to understand."

Nie Changchuan nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help asking, "Who is Bodhi Patriarch?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Bodhi Patriarch is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He dresses like a Taoist, calls himself a Buddhist, and acts like a Confucian. He can be said to respect the hidden Dao, the precepts of Buddhism, and the righteousness of Confucianism."

"This person who combined the three religions into one also taught a Monkey King who was not afraid of authority and was humble and respectful to his superiors."

"He even opened the monkey's mind and shaped Sun Wukong's three views, so that even though he was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years, his edges and corners were still not worn down."

"This behavior subtly reveals dissatisfaction with the Buddhist plan of traveling to the West."

"He hopes that Sun Wukong can break his fate and create a new world..."

Hearing this, Nie Changchuan nodded, and was certain that the Bodhi Patriarch in this world must not be the incarnation of Tathagata.

Lin Zhongtian continued: "Such a character, if placed in Journey to the West, might just be an ideal character created by Mr. Wu, who combines the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."

"This ideal person is too perfect, so he jumped out of the Three Realms and was not in the Five Elements. He became a true hermit in the world of Journey to the West, unknown to all the immortals and gods in the Three Realms."

"That's one explanation."

"But in this world, especially for us, there is actually another explanation..."

Nie Changchuan's expression changed, and he sighed and said, "Traveler!"

Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "I am 70% sure that Sun Wukong was taught by a time traveler!"

"I just don't know whether this guy is really in seclusion or has another identity in the Three Realms."

As they chatted, the two turned into silver light and descended from the sky, returning to the ancestral temple of Maoshan.

Nie Changchuan sat cross-legged on the magic cushion he had used before, looked at Lin Zhongtian opposite him and said with a smile: "If this is true, then we have to find this guy!"

"Looking at his behavior, he definitely meets our league's recruitment standards."

"Plus, he has been cultivating his magical powers for who knows how many years. He will definitely be a great help to our alliance!"

At this point, Nie Changchuan paused and said with a smile: "I really want to know, who is stronger between him and Brother Bai..."

Lin Zhongtian laughed in silence, and after a little thought, he replied: "If he is really a powerful being with great magical powers, then in this world, Bai Lang is definitely not his opponent. However, Bai Lang's power is more universal in a broad sense. In other worlds, such as the world without magic, or even the strange world of containment, he may not be Bai Lang's opponent."

"Of course, the above premise is that the power of the two remains constant."

"But in reality, Bai Lang is getting stronger all the time. He also has amazing comprehension and Tao heart. Once he adapts to the Tao of the new world, it is not certain who will win or lose..."

Just as the two were discussing the boring cross-world combat power comparison, there was suddenly some commotion and noise outside the hall.

Lin Zhongtian and Nie Changchuan turned their heads and looked through the dome of the palace. They could see the sky covered with rosy clouds and a figure coming on a lotus platform.

She was wearing a brocade skirt with a plain silk robe on the outside. She had her hair in a bun with a dragon pattern on it and colorful embroidered ribbons floating on her body. Her tassels were dangling with pearls and jade, and her scented rings were adorned with precious stones. Her eyebrows were like small moons, her eyes were like two stars, her jade-like face was naturally happy, and her lips were dotted with red.

In her hand, she was holding a jade bottle with a willow branch inserted diagonally on it, shining with green light.

There is no doubt that this is the main world of mythology, the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, what did I say!"
