461: Brush copy

Are you awake?

Tang Ku frowned slightly and asked, "How is it? What did you see in the illusion?"

Red Boy blushed and said, "Nothing much. So, are we continuing forward or going back?"

"We cannot turn back on the chains, otherwise it will drag everyone into a hopeless situation!"

Although Tang Ku was still curious, he explained.

"Is that so? Then can't the two of us go to the opposite shore first?"

Tang Xian asked in a deep voice.

"Also no!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice as well, "If we move, it will trigger the defense mechanism of the illusion, causing them to be completely trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves. Their original bodies will become walking corpses, wandering in these mountains for the rest of their lives, never finding their way home."

"Then what should we do?"

Red Boy couldn't help but pout, "Are we just going to leave them to fend for themselves? I am half a Buddhist now; I can't just stand by and watch them die!"

"It's not leaving them to fend for themselves, it's cultivation!" Tang Xian laughed, "If they can walk out of the illusion on their own today, their future will be limitless. Besides, I've calculated it, and the divination shows that they will definitely turn danger into safety. My divination is very accurate!"

Tang Ku gave a helpless bitter smile, and Red Boy pouted, "I'm so tired of standing, damn it, so nervous!"

Tang Ku was also sweating from nervousness. To be honest, ever since he attained Buddhahood, he had experienced countless battles, big and small, and even when facing the fiercest enemies, it would not have made him this nervous!

Suddenly, a faint black-gold light was released from the last person, Heishan. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his Aura climbed from that of an ordinary little demon all the way to the level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Although his magic power was far from reaching that level, given time, based on this Epiphany, ascending to the Golden Immortal Realm was already an inevitable trend!

"Master, this Disciple has gained some insight!"

Heishan was no longer stuttering when he spoke. He said earnestly, "In this world, everything is inherently unfair. This Disciple will uphold his original heart, not be invaded by external evils, help those who are kind, and punish those who are evil. This is the Dao of rewarding good and punishing evil!"

"Good, very good. Your realization is quite good. In the future, at the very least, you will be at the Realm of a Buddhist Protector!" Tang Ku praised.

Heishan's Aura suddenly softened, and he stuttered, "Mas... Master, I... I... I just want to... ask, between men and women, hugging and embracing, what kind of Cultivation Technique is that? When I was a mountain stone, there were many men and women hugging and embracing on me, and then they started taking off their clothes, and then they all..."

"Uh, okay, that's enough. If you keep talking, this book will be censored. It's enough that you know it yourself!"

Tang Ku hurriedly stopped him and said earnestly, "After entering the Pagoda Forest, your soul will receive another round of baptism, and there will be more benefits then. You should digest your current Epiphany first and wait for your Junior Sister!"

As soon as Tang Ku finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of five-colored clouds in the corner of his eye, and his heart moved.

Xiao Cui woke up from the illusion with tears in her eyes. She said earnestly, "Master, all living beings suffer, all born from greed. If greed is eliminated, can it make all living beings in the world happy and healthy?"

Tang Ku asked in return, "Then, what is greed? The desires of living beings, such as the desire to eat, the desire to drink, the desire for Yin and Yang union, the desire for sadness, the desire for joy, can these be considered greed?"

Xiao Cui thought for a moment, then shook her head, and then nodded, "Desire is human nature, and it is the foundation of all living beings. However, everything has a limit. Excessive indulgence is greed. We should eliminate greed and we shall be safe and happy!"

"Hehe, you have almost reached the compassionate character of Holy Heart Guanyin. Hehe, not bad, not bad. As long as you continue to be this earnest, one day you will achieve the right fruit. In the Western World, you will at least be able to get a Bodhisattva fruit status or something similar."

Tang Ku praised with a smile, "Since everyone has walked out of their own Heart Demon, let's continue forward!"

Saying that, Tang Ku had already stepped out of the range of the chains and arrived on the solid ground. The others behind had long had enough of the foggy environment along the way, so they followed closely, their speed surprisingly fast.

When everyone stepped onto the land, the fog that had been lingering in front of them simply disappeared.

"Phew, this is what a Buddhist holy place should look like." Tang Xian laughed, "Beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant; natural scenery is always much more beautiful than man-made things."

Tang Ku, however, had a serious expression. He bowed and kowtowed to a broken stone tablet on the side, then stood up and said, "A little further ahead, the illusion will completely disappear... Hmm, follow me..."

The beautiful landscape instantly changed again, replaced by a solemn and murderous scene.

Countless stone tablets and stone pagodas stood on a large open space in front. Although the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were still very lush, there seemed to be an invisible force field around this Pagoda Forest, making the whole forest look extremely desolate.

Heavy Killing Intent surrounded the area, making Tang Xian frown slightly, "Was it like this before? Why is there Killing Intent lingering here?"

Tang Ku said, "When I was Golden Cicada, I lived on Mount Ling and often came here to sweep the graves for these Seniors. The atmosphere here has actually always been like this, but it has never had such heavy Killing Intent... Hmm, I think it must be because Sun Wukong's soul is being held in the Ashura Realm that such a mutation has occurred!"

"Don't you feel something is wrong?"

Tang Xian suddenly sighed and said, "You are really slow for not noticing this. The Ashura Realm has been sealed by the Buddha for so long without any issues. Have you ever thought about how they threw Sun Wukong's soul into the Ashura Realm? Even taking a step back, even if they had a way to open the Ashura Realm, why would they Seal it again? Wouldn't it be better to let the people of the Ashura Realm out to cause trouble for us?"

"That makes sense, but..."

Tang Ku suddenly smiled bitterly and helplessly, "I can only believe that Wukong's soul is here, after all, I have no other clues!"

"You are truly unique!"

Tang Xian shook his head helplessly and said, "The words of the enemy may not be credible. If you really arrive at the Ashura Realm, aren't you afraid that the Ashura King will detain you, or even kill you? You know, the guys in the Ashura Realm are unusually warlike and won't give an outsider like you any reaction time!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's start!"

Tang Ku, "No one can say for sure about this matter. If it can be solved peacefully, that is best. If not..."

Tang Ku sneered slightly, "Then I'll just treat it as grinding a dungeon!"
