"Don't worry, Old Sun will just give you guys a beating to vent some anger, but definitely won't take your lives."

Sun Wukong cracked a cruel smile.

Yet in his heart, he thought, Old Sun won't kill you, but someone does want your lives, namely the Heavenly Destiny person you're waiting for, the Master of Great Tribulation.

In an instant, Sun Wukong created dozens of clones, each wielding an iron rod, charging forward.

"Watch the beating!"

Chen Sanzang said it needs to be a quick fight, and no Immortal Bald Donkey should escape, so Sun Wukong exerted his full power from the start.

After all, Chen Sanzang only said not to kill them, so he might as well cripple this bunch of henchmen!

A group of Profound Immortals, True Immortals, and Golden Immortals, how could they be a match for Sun Wukong?

Even if these guys tried to escape in various directions, they couldn't escape Sun Wukong's grasp. The speed of the Somersault Cloud was too fast; he could catch them almost instantly and knock them down with a single blow.

While Sun Wukong was beating people in the sky, Chen Sanzang was collecting bodies below. Indeed, those Immortals and Buddhas who faced Sun Wukong's wrath were no different from being dead.

Anyone beaten by the monkey suffered injuries ranging from damage to bones and muscles to, at worst, their Spirit on the verge of shattering along with damage to their True Spirit.

With each body Chen Sanzang collected, he'd immediately smash down his Nine Ringed Staff, giving them a direct blow to the head.

Then, before their Spirit could escape, he'd catch it with a restriction and proceed with Old Xi's transcendence.

With steadily increasing power, Chen Sanzang's speed in transcending people accelerated. Compared to Taiyi Golden Immortal or higher, due to the involvement of Laws, transcending them was exponentially more difficult and took a lot more time.

But these prison guard Immortals and Buddhas were mostly at the Golden Immortal level at best, mostly at Profound Immortal and True Immortal levels, so transcending them was naturally quite fast.

Chen Sanzang often wouldn't even finish chanting the Transcendence Scripture before Old Xi had already drained them.

Truly drained, not only their Cultivation Power but also their Spirit and psyche were purified and concentrated, all turning into nourishment for Chen Sanzang.

This fight, a near-certain victory, lasted only a minute, and it was over.

All thirty-nine Immortals and Buddhas were crippled by Sun Wukong, allowing the monkey to vent his pent-up frustration.

As for transcending these Immortals and Buddhas, Old Xi took less than five minutes.

When everything was settled, Old Xi immediately created the illusion of these Immortals and Buddhas leaving, a disguise so perfect that unless Hongjun came to inspect personally, even a Saint wouldn't detect the flaw.

"Huh, Drinking and Eating Monk, your energy increased quite quickly."

Sun Wukong somersaulted over to Chen Sanzang, instantly noticing the change in the monk's aura.

Still Taiyi Golden Immortal level, but at least 10% stronger than just a moment ago!

"Amitabha, isn't it thanks to the sponsorship and support of these Immortals and Buddhas?"

Chen Sanzang was very grateful to these Immortals and Buddhas, not only for sponsoring his Cultivation Level but also for contributing their Spirit, truly great people.

"Hehe, you this Drinking and Eating Monk really suits Old Sun's taste. Aren't you afraid that bald old Tathagata will take action and strike you down?"

Sun Wukong held back his strength just now, didn't kill anyone, but this Drinking and Eating Monk ruthlessly knocked out and killed all these Immortals and Buddhas.

And it doesn't stop there, as Sun Wukong sensed and searched the surroundings, he found that not only were their bodies cleanly wiped out, but even their Spirits and True Spirits were refined and shattered.

This skillful killing technique, this Drinking and Eating Monk is definitely a vicious habitual offender!

Yet this is the person destined to retrieve scriptures, the Master of Great Tribulation of the Westward Journey, utterly absurd!

If not for Sun Wukong sensing the pure Buddha Essence in Chen Sanzang akin to that of Tathagata, he'd have thought this guy was a Demon Cultivator engaging in soul-refining murder.

"Hehe, Little Kongkong, stick with me and let's turn the Western Heaven upside down, and perhaps nab a Buddha title while we're at it."

Chen Sanzang grabbed Sun Wukong's shoulder, pulled out a wine gourd with one hand, took a sip, and handed it to the monkey, smilingly speaking.

"Alright, Old Sun's in! Never liked that Tathagata's laden head, perfect chance to nab his Buddha title!"

Accepting the wine gourd, Sun Wukong didn't mind Chen Sanzang's attitude. The two buddies strolled out of the crumbled Five Elements Mountain ruins together.

"Drinking and Eating Monk, what's your name?"

"I am Chen Sanzang from the Great Qin Empire, commissioned by Emperor Shi of the Great Qin Empire to travel to the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple to retrieve the scriptures."

Walking, eating, and drinking all the way, one man and one monkey soon arrived outside the ruins.

Chen Sanzang unabashedly mounted a small tiger and headed to the next destination, albeit at a notably leisurely pace.

At sunrise, man and monkey would briefly stretch their muscles, then roam the hills seeking edible food.

A breakfast easily took about an hour.

After they were satiated, man and monkey leisurely set out on their quest for scriptures.

After dawdling for half an hour, Chen Sanzang would often lay down a camping cloth and tell Sun Wukong, "Hungry, monkey, grab some gold and get us a scrumptious feast from the nearby city for lunch."

The monkey never quite grasped what this monk was all about, but with good food offered, he had no reason to refuse the errand.

So he'd flip over, spend about an hour, and return with a packed feast, the duo then digging into the meal.

As Chen Sanzang put it, "Man is iron, food is steel; skip a meal, and you're uneasy."

Once lunch was finished, Chen Sanzang pulled out two sun loungers, found a shaded spot, and began the afternoon nap with the monkey. This nap lasted the whole afternoon.

According to Chen Sanzang's words, "With the sun overhead, the Golden Crow traverses the sky, the heat too intense, it might damage his delicate skin."

Moreover, the sun's exposure might cause his otherwise precious self to succumb to heat stroke, hence caution must be exercised.

Overall, the afternoon heat is too potent to travel, so finding a cool spot for rest is the best choice.

Once the Golden Crow sets and the Jade Rabbit rises, it's naturally time for Chen Sanzang to shell out money to Sun Wukong again for fetching dinner.

After man and monkey polished off their evening meal, it was time for personal activities and private moments.

Usually, Chen Sanzang would select a beautiful female demon from nearby mountains to enjoy some imperial-level entertainment and dance, perhaps guide her personally, engaging in sports and negotiating business with small targets.

Often during such times, Sun Wukong would grin in astonishment, observing Chen Sanzang's antics with fascination.

This one is actually the reincarnated Golden Cicada, disciple of Tathagata?

Indeed, food and drinks pass through the body, but no Buddha in the heart!

This guy is far from a Buddhist Sect person, utterly a rebel disciple!

Sun Wukong was greatly amazed but found his guard slightly lowered. ThelatestchaptersareuploadedfirstonNovelFire.

Chen Sanzang's deeds hardly aligned with the Western Buddhist Sect, so Sun wasn't heavily guarded against him.

After perusing the book Journey to the West, Sun Wukong knew Tang Sanzang was bewitched by the Goddess of Mercy to put on the Tightening spell!

Familiar with the plot, Sun Wukong wouldn't let the Tightening spell return to his head!

But there was an issue bothering the monkey, and that's the journey of retrieving scriptures.

Chen Sanzang, this guy, in a day, put only half an hour into the journey, with the rest completely wasted!

And even for the half-hour journey, it was incredibly slow, a complete leisure outing pace.

At this rate, it'd be monkey time before reaching the Western Heaven Great Leiyin Temple, to complete this Westward Journey's Great Tribulation!

At first, Sun Wukong attempted to earnestly advise Chen Sanzang at least to extend the travel time and boost the pace.

Yet this guy was impervious, claiming three meals a day must be ensured in terms of quality and standards. Cultivation, after all, should not treat oneself badly; all this talk about losing emotions in immortality is nonsense - longevity is for better enjoyment!

Thus, after persuading three times, the monkey also let things slide.
