My Senior Brother is Too Steady-Chapter 741: The Ending of the Void Bodhi

Chapter 741: The Ending of the Void Bodhi

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Crescent Tristar Cave…

Li Changshou stood in front of the rear hall and scanned the Daoist temple. His eyes were filled with nostalgia.

His sleeve fluttered down, and vines grew everywhere in the Daoist temple. It was as if a sandstorm had swept through, causing the place to be buried in sand and creating a feeling of being weathered.

The 27 disciples were summoned to the front of the hall where he informed them that they were moving.

The disciples were naturally puzzled, but Li Changshou said that he had deduced that Sun Wukong would cause huge trouble later. Therefore, he made up his mind to let Sun Wukong leave. They had to move together.

However, many disciples expressed that their actions of abandoning their junior brother were a little immoral and against their teacher’s teachings.

Li Changshou pulled a long face and did not say anything. The disciples did not dare to say anything else.

Then, Li Changshou used the Cosmic technique in his sleeve and put the 27 disciples into his sleeve. Then, he rode a cloud and rushed to the West Ocean.

These situations were actually just an act that was put up for the Heavenly Dao.

The disciples’ doubts were within his expectations.

His teacher, who was usually gentle, had suddenly become unyielding. He did not protect or persuade Sun Wukong. Instead, he left… The contradictions and contradictions were also acting for the Heavenly Dao.

The Void Bodhi would do that.

The difference was that Li Changshou did not have any intentions towards the monkey, nor did he think of using the monkey to gain any benefits.

“Ah.”

On the cloud, the Void Bodhi sighed and revealed a smile of relief.

The past few hundred years were really fast.

Will the future be like this?

No, he should not. With the living beings he liked as his companions and many friends as his companions, he would not be lonely.

The Primordial World was so huge, and the Chaos Sea was so exciting. After finishing the small matter of killing the Dao Ancestor, it was not bad to travel everywhere…

Li Changshou suddenly became poetic. He hesitated for a while and recited in his heart, “You’re bewitching me…”

At this moment!

Suddenly, a familiar Dao rune landed on him. It was the Heavenly Dao pressure that he was most familiar with.

Li Changshou instantly extinguished the thoughts in his heart and his Dao heart revealed a hint of vigilance.

“Bodhi, come to the ends of the West Ocean.”

Li Changshou immediately bowed and rode a cloud forward at full speed.

I was clearly rushing to the ends of the West Ocean. Why did the Dao Ancestor suddenly send a voice transmission?

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor’s desire to control is so strong that he has to make everything seem like it’s going according to his orders?

That’s not right. The Dao Ancestor’s schemes are usually hidden.

There is only one reasonable reason left—the Dao Ancestor had not noticed Patriarch Subhuti.

After Sun Wukong returns to Huaguo Mountain, he will definitely fight with the demons who occupied Huaguo Mountain and save the descendants of the original monkeys who had been bullied for a long time.

The Dao Ancestor should be watching there to prevent the demons from jumping out and blowing up Huaguo Mountain.

As soon as he thought of that, 50,000 kilometers of green waves passed.

Behind the stone tablet at the ends of the world, the burly Daoist stood with his hands behind his back, facing the living beings of the five continents.

Dao Ancestor.

Just by standing there, he seemed to have formed a world of his own. The Qi Refinement cultivators who came and went from the ends of the world would not turn to look in the direction of the Dao Ancestor.

Even if someone occasionally looked at the place where the Dao Ancestor was, they would only see starlight and not think much.

The Void Bodhi landed in front of the stone tablet and quickly turned behind it. Without realizing it, he stepped into a barrier and the Dao Ancestor stood in front of him.

“Greetings, Dao Ancestor.”

“Yes.” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun turned around with a kind smile in his eyes. “You did well regarding Sun Wukong.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Then, would his soul be destroyed?

“Thank you for your praise, Master. I only did what I had to do.”

There were two drops of cold sweat on the Void Bodhi’s forehead. He looked up at Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, his eyes filled with nervousness.

“Hahahaha.” The Dao Ancestor stroked his beard and chuckled. “You don’t have to worry. I’m not an unreasonable evil person. Since you have merit, I will not treat you unfairly. Come forward and look at this place.”

“Thank you, Dao Ancestor.”

Li Changshou whispered and took a deep breath. He walked forward cautiously.

In front of the Dao Ancestor was the shadow of the Creation Jade Disc.

To be precise, the Dao Ancestor here was also an illusion. It just made people feel that he really existed.

The Dao Ancestor raised his hand and tapped lightly. The Creation Jade Disc projected the situation of Huaguo Mountain.

At that place, Sun Wukong was dressed in a long robe. In his hand, he held two swords that he had snatched from an unknown place and fought against the demons dancing in the sky.

Although Wukong seemed to be in a sorry state, he was actually chasing after the demon shadows and attacking them. He was no match for them.

“Well taught.”

The Dao Ancestor chuckled and said.

The Void Bodhi lowered his head and said, “It’s the mystic technique that the Dao Ancestor gave me.”

“After spending more than two hundred years together, you should know Sun Wukong quite well.” The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “Do you think he can be of great use?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said seriously, “Whether Wukong can take on the responsibility depends on the Dao Ancestor’s judgment. I only imparted his Dao technique. I can’t decide what path he will take in the future.”

The Dao Ancestor nodded, as if he did not hear the answer he wanted to hear. He was less interested.

There was silence.

Sun Wukong shattered more than ten demon shadows in succession. He stood on the mountain peak and revealed a ferocious expression. However, his gaze was very clear. Clearly, he was using such a ferocious appearance to scare his enemies.

The demonic shadows that filled the sky whizzed over. There were several demons in the Golden Immortal realm mixed in, but they did not dare to approach Sun Wukong.

This could be considered Sun Wukong’s first battle. However, at that moment, the calmness and composure that Sun Wukong displayed, and even the ruthlessness when he attacked, made people feel that he was a “battle-hardened person”.

Born for battle, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.

That was a monkey.

Li Changshou could not be bothered to appreciate the art of Sun Wukong’s battle. The Dao Ancestor was beside him. He had to think about how he should perform before he could leave the Dao Ancestor’s side safely.

He had used the fake identity of the Void Bodhi too smoothly.

Although it was nothing to lose, he did not want to lose to the Dao Ancestor again.

Hence, Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with emotions. He praised, “Wukong is simply a natural God of War.”

“That’s right. He’s born to be a War God.”

The Dao Ancestor chuckled and said, “However, the path I set for him is to ultimately return to the Buddhist Sect and be a Victorious Fighting Buddha. Bodhi, you are a disciple of the Western Sect. What do you think about this?”

The Void Bodhi was immediately embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, “The spiritual mountain today is no longer the spiritual mountain of the past. When I came out of the spiritual mountain that day, I naturally did not think of returning. However… Why didn’t Wukong return to the Heavenly Courts? Doesn’t the Heavenly Courts need such combat power?”

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “The Heavenly Courts have enough combat power now. The Heavenly Courts can use the power of the Heavenly Dao. Although Wukong is powerful, he is just a fool’s bravery and does not have the plans to lead troops. Bodhi, do you know why I want to nurture Wukong?”

Li Changshou thought, ‘It’s here, it’s here. The Dao Ancestor’s strong desire to confide in me has appeared!’

However, he could understand.

From the process of fighting with the Dao Ancestor, he could tell that the Dao Ancestor was actually quite lonely. After all, it was lonely at the top. There were no normal living beings around him.

However, that did not mean that the Dao Ancestor was still benevolent and soft-hearted.

On the contrary.

The fact that the Dao Ancestor could say that meant that the Dao Ancestor wanted to kill him. After all, only dead people could keep secrets.

Therefore, Li Changshou became even more nervous.

The Dao Ancestor said slowly, “I want Wukong to become a symbol. His story is destined to circulate around the world. I want him to serve as an example for living beings and also give them a warning. Bodhi, you should know how strong Wukong’s potential is and how arrogant his personality is. Didn’t I tell you previously that I want Sun Wukong to represent the demons and trigger them? I want the demons to fight the Heavenly Courts again and exhaust all the foundations of the demons. This is only the first level. I gave Wukong a mission to make him the most obvious symbol in the world so that there is a comparison when he makes other living beings resist the Heavenly Courts. Such a powerful and arrogant living being was only casually suppressed by the Heavenly Courts. There was no need to have such an unrealistic dream like the Anti-Heaven. That’s the depth.”

The Void Bodhi said in a low voice, “Wukong, you will definitely lose?”

“Otherwise?”

The Dao Ancestor looked at the Void Bodhi, who immediately lowered his head.

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “This is destined to be a scheme and not a game. After Changgeng left the world, I no longer have any opponents worth playing. Bodhi, could it be that you can’t bear to see your disciple suffer?”

As he spoke, the Dao Ancestor raised his left hand and slapped the Void Bodhi’s right shoulder.

Li Changshou’s nervousness at that moment was not an act. His entire body was tense, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His posture was a little stiff, and even his aura was in chaos. He jumped left and right between escaping and begging for mercy.

However…

The Dao Ancestor patted Li Changshou’s shoulder gently without using much force.

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I will place Wukong high up and make him a legend in the Primordial World. The things that Changgeng had created in the Heavenly Courts back then gave me quite a lot of inspiration. He stood on the side of the world and thought about it. He only needed to nurture a hero who defied the heavens and make that hero become a god who protected the heavens. Everything will become much simpler.”

“Dao Ancestor, you have a brilliant plan.” The Void Bodhi lowered his head and answered. He took the initiative to say, “If you still have any requests, I’m willing to serve you.”

However, Li Changshou’s main body’s Dao heart was almost cursing.

This old thief was too good at playing with people’s hearts.

“There’s not much to do,” the Dao Ancestor said. “Bodhi, where did you want to go previously?”

“Go to the trichiliocosm to find a place to hide,” Li Changshou said. “I also know that Wukong has a huge karma on him. I naturally don’t dare to stay in the Primordial World for long, lest I affect the Dao Ancestor’s plan.”

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “You just don’t want to get involved. If you want to hide, hide.”

Li Changshou deliberately looked awkward.

“Alright, go. It was also a good thing to open a Daoist temple in the trichiliocosm and teach the disciples. Do you need merit and treasures?”

“There’s no need, no need.” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “Can I hang your portrait in my host body, Dao Ancestor? Arrange for me to offer incense every day to show my heart.”

Hanging the portrait to pay respects was actually not just taking the initiative to express that he belonged to the faction. There was also a deeper meaning. He was willing to accept the constant supervision of the Dao Ancestor.

A faint light flickered in the Dao Ancestor’s eyes. He said, “There’s no need for that. I have already retreated to the back. I can just worship the world.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Let’s go.”

The Dao Ancestor said softly. The Void Bodhi bowed and bowed with a Dao salute. He maintained the expression and movements that the Void Bodhi often used. He stepped into the void beside the Dao Ancestor and rode a cloud into the distance.

He felt the Dao Ancestor’s gaze on him.

Li Changshou understood that the Dao Ancestor was thinking about whether he should kill the Void Bodhi or leave it behind for a while to see if it could still be used.

He had “performed” so many times in the past hundreds of years. He had shown the cautiousness of the Void Bodhi everywhere and was afraid of taking risks. It was all for the sake of escaping safely today.

The best place to return to after using the puppets was the boiler.

1,000 feet, 1,000 feet…

Li Changshou’s main body almost held his breath. He did not dare to move too quickly or too slowly.

The pressure made his fingers tremble.

The Dao Ancestor was still staring at the Void Bodhi’s back.

That was the pressure of an absolute expert. It was the pressure of life and death in the hands of others. It seemed that the Dao Ancestor was also waiting. He was waiting for a killing intent and a regretful expression.

He flew thousands of kilometers…

Finally!

Purple-black lightning suddenly bloomed in the void and struck the Void Bodhi!

Li Changshou’s thoughts raced. Based on his understanding of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the purple-black lightning seemed to be a seal but not a destructive Heavenly Punishment.

The Void Bodhi could die. He had used the Dao of the otherworldly demons to open the backdoor of the Heavenly Dao, but he could not expose it.

What should I do?

Li Changshou’s eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. His main body sat there quietly. He forcefully maintained his calm and put on a terrified expression.

The Void Bodhi pretended to resist the lightning. That was its instinctive reaction.

However, just as he was about to attack, he seemed to see the Dao Ancestor’s figure. Then, he chose to close his eyes tightly. He only opened a layer of immortal power barrier and allowed the lightning to swallow him!

“I’m not dissatisfied at all. I don’t have the intention to rebel. Why!?!”

Boom!

The void trembled. The purple-black lightning flashed. The Void Bodhi’s figure retreated half a step in a sorry state. It was already injured.

The Dao Realm… was locked.

The Void Bodhi was lost. It stood in the void like a puppet and seemed to be recalling everything that had happened. Finally, it laughed self-deprecatingly.

He cupped his hands in the direction of the five continents and looked at the safe and sound disciples in his sleeve. Then, he turned around and fled.

Li Changshou sat in the hall of the Kun Peng Mystic Realm and pondered. He pursed his lips.

That was the Dao Ancestor.

Farewell for now, Wukong.

Sun Wukong already had a foundation. The path ahead was completely monitored by the Heavenly Dao. No one had the chance to interfere.

Li Changshou deduced that Sun Wukong still needed some time to grow and establish enough prestige among the demons.

It would take some time for the Dao Ancestor to complete the “plan” that he had mentioned just now.

At that stage, Li Changshou called it the “Beautiful Monkey King”. When Sun Wukong really led the demons to attack the Heavenly Courts, variables would be prone to appearing. He could also take the opportunity to attack and increase his chances of winning.

Li Changshou could not help but feel poetic when he felt the Heavenly Dao’s gaze disappear.

He held the metal rod in his hand. There was no need for him to win against the Buddha.

First, he would find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters that was filled with spiritual energy to conceal his identity and settle down for a few years. Then, he would take advantage of the liveliness of the five continents to carry out his plan of “stealing a home” and be prepared to show his cards at any time.

Hence, thirty years later.

The name “Beautiful Monkey King” spread outside the five continents. This reputation was related to the dragon race.

That year, Sun Wukong went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace and tricked them to seize the Sea-Calming Divine Needle…
