Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 701: Manipulating the Tribulation Clouds

A steal!

Watching the scene before him, Maitreya Buddha felt a rush of excitement, as if he had found a steal.

Being able to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm sufficient to cross tribulation in just a few years?

This alone proved his talent, and added to that, his ability to play with Heavenly Tribulation in his hands.

Doesn't it further underscore his extraordinariness?

...

Setting aside what Maitreya Buddha and the Bodhisattva of Golden Light and others were thinking, on Yuanling's side, his mind moved, and he truly caught the Tribulation Thunders in his hands.

Continuous Tribulation Thunder fell, all landing in Yuanling's hands, docile like a string of thunder snakes.

Finally, when Yuanling had caught a total of eighty-one thunder snakes, he waved his hand.

Following his movement, these thunder snakes flew back toward the sky, returning to the clouds of tribulation.

Then, Yuanling stretched out his small hand, clenching it into a fist towards the sky where the Tribulation Thunder gathered.

Next, the clenched fist slowly opened.

As he did so, the tribulation clouds in the sky, which seemed to have solidified, also began to disperse quietly.

"Hiss, this is impossible!"

Seeing this scene, the Bodhisattva of Golden Light couldn't help but gasp in shock, exclaiming out loud.

The Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden was even more stunned, covering her mouth with her small hand in disbelief, as if fearing she might inadvertently shout out loud.

Even the always smiling Maitreya Buddha's expression gradually grew serious.

If catching all the Tribulation Thunder in his hands just now could surprise everyone,

then now, the very act of dispelling the tribulation clouds directly was even more shocking to witness.

In fact, to dispel the tribulation clouds wasn't difficult; with the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one could achieve it.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation is the Heavenly Dao's test for all living beings, and if a Great Luo Golden Immortal took action to forcibly dispel the clouds, they would invariably incur karma, so no one would do that.

And for someone who had just entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm to dispel the tribulation clouds himself!?

This was truly unheard of!

"Who on earth is this child!?" Maitreya Buddha's gaze was firmly fixed on Yuanling, his heart filled with a mix of shock, amazement, and joy.

Originally, Maitreya Buddha was in a very bad mood.

But now, having discovered such an extraordinary talent as Yuanling, Maitreya Buddha felt much better.

Although losing the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls was infuriating, if he could take such a person under his command, that too would be cause for celebration, right?

"Amitabha..."

Contemplating taking Yuanling into his fold, Maitreya Buddha silently uttered a Buddha's name in his heart.

The responsibility of the Journey to the West for Scriptures was originally Guanyin Bodhisattva's, but now, since he had taken over, it seemed entirely reasonable to take over Guanyin Bodhisattva's leftover talents.

"Did I just pass the Heavenly Tribulation like this?" Not only were Maitreya Buddha and the others taken aback, but Yuanling himself was also stunned.

When the Tribulation Thunder fell, he seemed to react instinctively, catching them in his hands just like that.

Moreover, as if by instinct, he directly made a move to disperse the tribulation clouds in the sky.

There was no reason to it, it was simply instinct, as if he was born with the ability to do so.

So, he followed his instincts and took action.

Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded!

However, after succeeding, Yuanling himself was also stunned, looking down at his own palms, feeling incredulous.

Did he just overcome the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation like that?

Just as Yuanling himself was puzzled, suddenly, a dazzling Buddhist Light appeared.

Yuanling looked up and saw the Maitreya Buddha, with a big belly and a smile on his face, appearing before him.

"Disciple Yuanling, pays respects to the Buddha..." Upon seeing the Maitreya Buddha, Yuanling felt a slight tension in his heart and promptly paid his respects to the Buddha.

"Hmm, not bad, I have heard of you. In just two or three years, you have overcome the Heavenly Thunder, your innate ability is extraordinary!" Maitreya Buddha looked at Yuanling, more and more pleased, and nodded slightly as he spoke.

"Actually, Buddha, this disciple...doesn't know why this happened..." Hearing the words of Maitreya Buddha, Yuanling was still confused but responded.

"Hmm, no need for more words!" Maitreya Buddha slightly waved his hand in response to Yuanling's words saying, "Would you like to accompany me to the Eastern Temple?"

"Ah!? Follow Maitreya Buddha to the Eastern Temple?" Upon hearing this, Yuanling froze, feeling at a loss.

He never considered such a thing; naturally, he was taken aback by the unexpected offer of the olive branch from Maitreya Buddha.

"Amitabha..." Seeing Yuanling's astonished look, Maitreya Buddha did not press him and just quietly watched.

In Yuanling's mind, everything felt muddled, and he couldn't react for quite a while.

One of the Three-World Buddhas, Maitreya Buddha, was suddenly extending an olive branch to him?

Although his mind was in tumult, it was only for a moment; soon, Yuanling gathered his thoughts.

Bodhisattva Guanyin had succumbed to demon possession; originally, he had stayed in the Purple Bamboo Forest to spy on Master Xuanzang, and in turn, monitor Guanyin's every move.

With Guanyin's departure after the demon possession, he seemed to have lost his purpose.

Now, the coordination of the Journey to the West for Scriptures, it is said to have been handed over to Maitreya Buddha, right?

So, taking this opportunity, if he followed along, wouldn't he be able to make himself useful once again?

With this thought, Yuanling nodded firmly and respectfully saluted the Maitreya Buddha: "Disciple Yuanling, pays his respects to the Buddha! From now on, I hope Buddha will look after me!"

"Good, good, good..."

Water flows downwards, and people strive upwards. Maitreya Buddha was not surprised by Yuanling's choice, but upon hearing his consent, the Buddha expressed his delight by repeating 'good' three times.

Since Yuanling had already agreed, and there was nothing important left for him to do in the Purple Bamboo Forest, Maitreya Buddha naturally did not intend to stay any longer and prepared to leave with Yuanling.

"Bodhisattva, Sister Dragon Lady..." On the brink of departure, Yuanling approached Bodhisattva of Golden Light and Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden.

"Hmm, going now, you have indeed found great fortune!" Looking at Yuanling, Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden had a complicated gaze and spoke with a sense of emotion.

There was surprise, joy, and of course, envy.

"In the future, by Maitreya Buddha's side, you must behave yourself..." Bodhisattva of Golden Light also looked at Yuanling, giving him a reminder.

"Yes, I have noted it!" Hearing Pearl Holding Dragon Maiden and Bodhisattva of Golden Light's words, Yuanling nodded and seemed reluctant to leave.

Finally, he followed Maitreya Buddha and left the Purple Bamboo Forest, flying towards the Eastern Temple on the Shengshenzhou Continent.

However, while following Maitreya Buddha towards the direction of the Eastern Temple, halfway through, Yuanling hurriedly sent a message to Jiang Liu.

On the other side, because the so-called Gaoyang had vanished, Jiang Liu could confirm that the Gaoyang here was indeed a hoax as he had thought, so, together with Zhuang Xueya, they had started to make their way back.

Ding, ding, ding!

However, while they were on their way back, suddenly, a message notification rang out.

Jiang Liu opened his friend list to check and saw that it was a message from Yuanling.

"Holy Monk, I have crossed the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Then, it seems Maitreya Buddha quite appreciates me and has taken me to the Eastern Temple!" This was the message sent by Yuanling.

"What? Crossed the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation? That fast!?" Jiang Liu was slightly stunned upon hearing Yuanling's words.

He remembered that the last time he wore the Shadow Robe and visited the Purple Bamboo Forest, the cultivation level wasn't that high. So why did he suddenly get through the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation now?

Shouldn't leveling up be slower at higher levels?

Why does it seem to be the complete opposite with Yuanling?

"Yes, and my Heavenly Thunder Tribulation seemed a bit different, I could grasp those Heavenly Thunders, I could even control those tribulation clouds!"

Jiang Liu: "..."
