Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1285 - 233: 9

Li Zhiyuan reached out to point at the monkey, while his gaze fell on Sun Baishen sitting at a height.

Sun Baishen's eyes, though open, were devoid of emotion.

Li Zhiyuan: "Drag the monkey over here."

Lin Shuyou stepped forward and lifted the monkey.

Separated from the memory scene, the monkey started to shriek in terror and cried out to Sun Baishen above:

"Bodhisattva save me, Bodhisattva save me!"

"Sir save me, I beg you save me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

"Master, I beg you spare my life, give me another chance, Master!"

Li Zhiyuan knew Sun Baishen could sense all of this, but Sun Baishen didn't react.

He once deeply loved this monkey, treated it like a child, personally raised and guided it, and even helped it attain the status of a True Monarch as a demon.

Yet what he received in return was repeated betrayal from the monkey, always at the forefront.

Lin Shuyou: "Brother Xiao Yuan, how should we handle it?"

Li Zhiyuan: "There's a pot and spices in the bag, make monkey brain stew."

When Li Zhiyuan mentioned "monkey brain stew," Sun Baishen's eyelid twitched slightly.

Once, that person told him not to trust this monkey, nor trust the Bodhisattva.

In the end, he proved through practice just how accurate those words were.

Lin Shuyou's tastes were quite traditional; usually, he didn't care for wild game, let alone monkey brain stew...

But soon, Ah You's eyelid twitched.

The child's meaning is, if you find it repulsive and can't eat it, He will eat it. This level of demon monkey brain is highly nourishing.

"Remember to rinse your mouth after eating."

Lin Shuyou reminded, then closed his eyes. Upon reopening them, he decisively surrendered control to the child.

The child picked up the club and walked to the monkey's side.

Monkey: "Don't kill me, I can follow you all, serve as a servant, help you open paths and charge ahead, I can do many things, please don't kill me, keep me..."

"Bang!"

The White Crane Child uttered not a word, only swung the club with force, and the monkey died instantly.

The voice of True Monarch Pu Du once again echoed beside the ears:

"Amitabha Buddha, you intend to treat me the same as this monkey? Impossible, delusional!"

"I definitely won't let you go, you will meet a bad end, you should know who I am, you know!"

"Hahaha, I cannot lose, I have no reason to lose, I cannot disgrace Him, absolutely cannot!"

True Monarch Pu Du seemed afflicted by delusion, no longer hoping for any response, immersed in his own world.

Sun Baishen's voice rang out within the hall: "Why have you come?"

Li Zhiyuan replied: "For the Righteous Path."

Thereafter, Sun Boseng ceased speaking, leaving True Monarch Pu Du muttering to himself incessantly, accompanied by Karmic Fire continuing to burn, He became increasingly frantic.

Then, He suddenly quieted down, lowered his voice, and said:

"If we die, we die together, no matter what, I must drag you all to the grave!

I know you all know who I am,

but I must solemnly tell you once again,

I am the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva!"

True Monarch Pu Du held the flaming indictment in his hands, turning into blood-colored flames.

The large Buddha head in the temple complex no longer flowed blood, the large Buddha head began to turn, facing the deepest direction.

Outside the temple, in the sea, the headless Buddha statue slowly turned, "looking" this way.

True Monarch Pu Du: "If we die, we die together, I will take you all to the grave, hahaha!"

He no longer concealed, instead actively attracted the Bodhisattva's attention, drawing the Bodhisattva's gaze down.

True Monarch Pu Du had done filthy deeds for the Bodhisattva, he believed resolutely the Bodhisattva wouldn't leave anyone who knew about these deeds alive.

This was the best revenge he could think of before dying.

Some things, if not brought to light, still hold room for negotiation. But once exposed straightforwardly, neither party has any other options.

Even if the matter here was done secretly, afterwards Li Zhiyuan would still need to stay wary of the true Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva's attitude.

Especially now, everything seems thoroughly publicized.

Suddenly, without any substance descending, a gaze carrying invisible pressure sent in.

Crouching there, the White Crane Child's body froze, not being manipulated but too frightened to move.

Li Zhiyuan could sense that gaze sweeping over the environment and people here as though marking specifics.

Then, Sun Baishen's voice rang out once more in the hall:

"Mandate:

I hereby resolve, from this day forward, to seal the temple and fill the sea, retreat with all former True Monarchs to ponder Buddhist Law secludedly, disconnecting from inside and outside, never emerging until fully attesting and becoming Buddha!"

Li Zhiyuan understood Sun Baishen's intentions, having previously stopped him from killing True Monarch Pu Du's flesh so as to give True Monarch Pu Du a chance to attract the true Bodhisattva's attention.

Sun Baishen, wishing to help him, dispel the karmic entanglement with the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva, because for him now, the true Bodhisattva is too frightening, who would want to be constantly watched by the Bodhisattva from behind?

It is Sun Baishen's protection for him, he should see the relationship between himself and Wei Zhengdao, having made special confirmation before.

True Monarch Pu Du: "You impostor, at this moment, still dare to pose as a Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva is me, I am the Bodhisattva, I am the true Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva!"

Li Zhiyuan faced the Lotus Platform, bent low before Sun Baishen above:

"As the sole inheritor of the Qin and Liu Dragon King Sect, direct disciple of Emperor Fengdu—Li Zhiyuan greets the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva!"

The first identity is genuine, and the latter couldn't be called false.

Primarily at this moment, you need to pull out the tiger skin, the bigger the better.

Li Zhiyuan believed the Emperor Fengdu wouldn't mind, after all, do it so many times, the Great Emperor should be used to it.

Sun Baishen: "Buddha possesses myriad forms, myriad thoughts, myriad tribulations, not to be blindfolded by one leaf, but knowing to step back, return leads to the shore, then seeing true self."

Li Zhiyuan: "Humbly accept the teaching."

Sun Baishen: "Sin is fate, debt is fate, hatred is fate, hardship is fate, you have fate with my Buddha, having endured twists, strive for the straightforward path, receive Buddha's protection, Amitabha!"

Li Zhiyuan: "Thank you Bodhisattva."

True Monarch Pu Du screamed: "He's a fake Bodhisattva, why do you worship him, I am the true Bodhisattva, you should worship me, you should bow to me!"

Sun Baishen knew he's a false Bodhisattva, yet using the tone of a Bodhisattva to resolve this karmic thread with Li Zhiyuan.

After all, Li Zhiyuan saw all the filthy things here, even after knowing True Monarch Pu Du's identity, he acted against Him, moreover misled the White Crane Child, Zeng and Sun generals also pre-reserved to serve as puppet reservists.

One could say I slap the Bodhisattva's face while persistently digging into the Bodhisattva's territory.

This poses hidden dangers, before the youth fully grows up, hard to conceitedly provoke such existence.

Meanwhile, the youth's identity is highly sensitive, besides self-relationships, under heavy observation from Heavenly Dao.

In here, words spoken openly, everything is fate.

Next, must see whether the real Bodhisattva acknowledged the words spoken by the fake Bodhisattva.

In truth, between True Monarch Pu Du and Sun Baishen, who is truly the Buddha's son, who is the "genuine" Bodhisattva incarnation personifying humanity.

In this world, nobody else speaking can count as valid, not even they themselves speaking counts as valid.

Only Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva oneself says who is true, then that is...real!

Above, the formless majestic gaze slowly gathers.

Finally, turning into a thread of divine Buddha's Light, descends on Sun Baishen's brow on the Lotus Platform, marking it with a red dot.

The Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva made his choice.

True Monarch Pu Du shouted incredulously: "No way, this cannot be, this cannot be, he's authentic, then what am I, then what do I count as, who am I, who am I ultimately?"

Li Zhiyuan asked Sun Baishen: "Dare ask Bodhisattva, imitating Bodhisattva, desecrating my Buddha, such disrespectful conduct deserves what punishment?"

Sun Baishen: "Deserves execution!"

This revenge comes from Sun Baishen, he waited for this day too long, too long.

In establishing demon slaying and demon extinguish systems here for his compassion indulging in broad fraternity, he met betrayal from close people subverting his lifelong effort, how could this feud be forgotten?

True Monarch Pu Du: "No way, I have no guilt, how could I possibly have guilt, I didn't..."

"Boom!"

True Monarch Pu Du, exploded.
