Chapter 25 Great Sage, stop slacking off! Let's go straight to Mount Ling and flip the table!
Click to begin the wondrous journey of "If you're so capable, then you go ahead; this calamity is truly insurmountable."
In the valley.
After Manjushri and Samantabhadra walked away, the valley became quiet again.
Lu Chen sat cross-legged on a rock, biting into a freshly roasted sweet potato.
The familiar sensation of fluid circulation within my body rose and fell.
[System notification: After accumulating 0.5 seconds of continuous combat with Manjushri Bodhisattva, current progress: 42%.]
[System notification from Wuwukai: After accumulating 0.5 seconds of continuous combat with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, current progress: 42%.]
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.
42%.
With the combat power of a Bodhisattva, 42% can be settled in half an hour.
At this rate, after one or two more matches, this level of combat power will be fully realized.
He counted the costs on his fingers.
After fighting the Five Directions Protectors for half an hour, the score was 100%. That's the Protector level.
After spending half an hour and one incense stick's time with Manjushri and Samantabhadra respectively, the result was 42%. This is the Bodhisattva level.
After fighting Sun Wukong for almost half a year, the score is only 23%. This is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven level.
Lu Chen chuckled.
The settlement speed for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven level should naturally be much slower than that for the Bodhisattva level. This is reasonable; the higher the level, the slower the settlement.
But the problem now isn't the slowness.
The problem is that Sun Wukong is just slacking off.
For more than a month, Sun Wukong would come to fight once a day, and then leave. He would only stay for half an hour at most each day, just to get by.
With this kind of fighting style, let alone calculating the combat power of the Monkey King, even calculating it to 100% would take forever.
Lu Chen finished eating the sweet potato.
He threw the sweet potato peels into the fire.
What he needs is not this kind of half-hearted, surrender-style performance.
He needs strong opponents to come and fight him consistently, seriously, and relentlessly.
The arrival of the Five Directions Protectors was merely a platform.
When Manjushri arrived, he personally took part in the event.
When Samantabhadra arrived, it was with the help of his fellow disciples.
If this trend of escalation continues, Guanyin will definitely come, Ksitigarbha will also come, and the next step may even be a higher-level entity in Buddhism.
but.
If the Buddhist sect finds that Sun Wukong's group is still "stablely dealing with things every day," they will assume that the situation is still under control.
They might think, "Since Lu Chen hasn't broken out of the valley yet, and the journey to the West hasn't completely collapsed, let's investigate further and think of another way."
This would slow down the pace at which Buddhism increases its influence.
Lu Chen looked in the direction where Sun Wukong had disappeared.
He can't let Sun Wukong and the others continue to languish like this.
We need to put real pressure on Buddhism.
The greater the pressure, the faster the pace of escalation.
The faster he escalates the conflict, the stronger the opponents who come to challenge him become.
The stronger a person is, the higher their combat power can be calculated.
How to put pressure on Buddhism?
There are two ways.
His first approach was to take the initiative.
The second method is to deliver it directly to your door.
Lu Chen chewed on the charred edge of the sweet potato skin, his eyes lighting up.
"ha."
He smiled.
The first and second can actually be used together.
Lu Chen stood up.
He patted the dirt off his backside.
They walked towards the direction of the business location.
Acquire business location.
Sun Wukong was lying under a tree, basking in the sun.
The golden cudgel was dropped on the ground.
He had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth and idly raised his hand to look at the clouds in the sky.
Pigsy is watering his chrysanthemums.
He used a chipped earthenware pot, watering each flower while muttering a sentence.
"Cuilan, how have you been lately? The flower I gave you has grown taller again."
He watered the second tree.
"Cuilan, have you had any of my noodles lately? Old Pig, all the noodles I have here have been eaten by Brother Sha."
He watered the third tree.
"Cuilan, don't cry. I'll definitely go back."
Sha Wujing was wiping his Zen staff.
This is the eighth time he has wiped it today.
The Five Directions Protectors squatted in a row, facing the wall.
They have been facing the wall in meditation for a month now.
Tang Sanzang sat under a tree chanting scriptures.
He had recited that scripture countless times.
The years are quiet.
Sun Wukong yawned lazily.
"Idiot, what are you muttering about?"
"Monkey King, don't worry about me—"
Pigsy was only halfway through his sentence.
His gaze passed over Sun Wukong and looked out of the camp.
The earthenware pot clattered to the ground.
Water was spilled all over the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Who?"
"No... then... what kind of gentleman?"
Sun Wukong frowned.
He turned around following Pigsy's gaze.
Then his eyes widened.
Lu Chen stood outside the camp.
Hands behind the back.
He looked at them with a smile.
"Great Sage, Marshal, General, Holy Monk, and the Five Protectors."
"Sorry to bother you."
Sha Wujing's hand trembled, and his staff almost fell.
The five guardian deities turned around in unison, their faces turning pale at the same time.
Tang Sanzang opened his eyes.
He put his palms together in a gesture of respect.
"Amitabha."
Tang Sanzang was the only one present who remained calm.
Sun Wukong suddenly sat up from the ground.
He grabbed the golden cudgel in his hand.
"What the hell are you doing in our camp?"
"Just dropping by." Lu Chen walked into the camp with an open and generous air and found a rock to sit on.
He reached out and touched the chrysanthemums that Pigsy had planted.
I took a gentle sniff.
"The flowers planted by the Marshal are quite nice."
"It has a bit of that idyllic, pastoral feel to it."
Pigsy: "..."
Pigsy opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back down.
He felt he had reason to be angry.
But the other party said he grew it well.
Praise him.
He shouldn't be angry, right?
After Lu Chen sat down, he did not immediately get to the point.
"Great Sage, how's your slacking off going lately?"
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes.
"Um."
"There's been quite a bit of activity at Mount Ling lately," Lu Chen said slowly. "Guanyin Bodhisattva has finished her meeting and decided to come down personally to verify things. She should be there in a couple of days."
Sun Wukong was taken aback.
How did you know?
"Would you believe me if I said I knew?"
"..."
"Lingshan also decided to send people to various Buddhist temples in the Southern Continent and the Eastern Continent to recruit a few Dharma protectors with some cultivation to Lingshan on temporary standby."
"They are preparing for the worst."
"If even Guanyin can't defeat them, they will ascend to higher ground."
Sun Wukong's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He turned to look at the Five Directions of the Heavenly Kings.
The Five Directions Protector's face was even paler than what Lu Chen had said.
Because everything Lu Chen said was correct.
They returned from Lingshan half a day ago with the same message Lu Chen had given them.
Even the details of being "on temporary standby" were something that the five of them only overheard by chance.
An ordinary person who has never left the valley.
How do you know these things?
"Great Sage," Lu Chen said, looking at Sun Wukong, "there's quite a commotion in other parts of the Three Realms as well."
"On the Taoist side, Yuanshi Tianzun has been in seclusion for three days."
"Laozi has dug up all the ancient books beyond the Three Realms."
"The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't say a word all day."
"In Heaven, the Jade Emperor used the most crucial archival system, starting from ancient times."
"The demon race has already retreated three steps, and an order has been issued that all demons are not allowed to approach within three hundred miles of the pilgrimage route."
"The Four Seas Dragon Palace has also withdrawn."
"Ksitigarbha has abandoned his duties. Di Ting can't hear anything from me anymore. The underworld is no longer concerned."
Sun Wukong was completely speechless.
He looked at Lu Chen.
That feeling was strange.
It was as if he were watching someone sitting across the table, eyes closed, who was reading aloud the minutes of today's meeting of all the forces in the Three Realms without missing a single word.
This is not "well-informed".
This means that "he is standing from a completely different perspective, overlooking every corner of the Three Realms."
The renowned author Orca, who doesn't like to sleep, has joined the platform with his new work, "If you're so capable, then you do it; this calamity is truly insurmountable!"
