Legend of the Great Sage

gs returned above ground, gathering by the religious preceptor of the left’s side.

“Religious preceptor, the buddha nemesis has probably left the region already.
The buddha nemesis is skilled at masking her aura, so she’s almost impossible to find.
Should we ask the Bureau of Astronomy for help?”

The Bureau of Astronomy was skilled at peering into the heavenly secrets and observing fate.
Their supervisor happened to be the leading figure of the school of Yin-yang.

“The buddha nemesis is a monster that’s neither living nor dead.
Trying to capture her through the heavenly secrets might not be that easy!”

“Why don’t we try? It’s better than letting her escape.”

The Monk Kings discussed while the religious preceptor of the left listened quietly.
He suddenly asked, “Dauntless, do you have any clues?”

The Dauntless monk was stern, having remained silent the entire time.
He brought his palms together in response and bowed.
“Religious preceptor, I do not.”

She was the buddha nemesis, but her ties and debts with the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga could not be explained so easily.
He was currently thinking about how to save the Unraging monk, and he truly did not have any ideas.
However, if he did know something, he definitely would not hide it either.

The religious preceptor of the left frowned.
The Bureau of Astronomy was currently dealing with something big.
They could not divert the manpower to help him find someone.
That matter was so significant that even the invasion from the Hungry Ghost realm came after it in terms of importance, let alone a measly buddha nemesis.

As a result, he led the Monk Kings to expand their search area, moving off in all directions and expanding their search radius to fifty kilometres across, but they still found nothing.

The religious preceptor of the left said, “The buddha nemesis is heavily injured, so she must be in search of a place to recover.
Who does she trust most?”

The Dauntless monk said, “It’s Li Qingshan.
It’s probably only Li Qingshan as well.”

“So that wretched daemon who dueled against crown prince Si Qing, Unraging’s fantastic disciple.
Where is this wretched daemon right now?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“Ever since his battle with the Featherfolk King Bai Chen, he has vanished.
Perhaps he’s no longer in this world anymore.”

“I recall that the wretched daemon and the buddha nemesis have a dwelling in the Chain mountains of the Ruyi commandery in the Green province,” the religious preceptor of the left said in thought.
In order to capture and kill the buddha nemesis, he had made ample preparations.

“But that’s just a small mountain.
The spiritual qi there is sparse, and it was abandoned a long time ago.
It doesn’t offer any defences at all.”

The Dauntless monk understood the Green province’s geography.
Let alone a small mountain, even the entire Chain mountains were not some good place for cultivation.
In the past, the renowned mountains had all been occupied by sects of various sizes, which was why cultivators would establish dwellings there.
Now, the Green province had faced numerous disasters, and many locations had been freed up.
Cultivators had stopped going there a long time ago.

And she was not a fool.
Instead, she was the cultivator with the greatest talent for comprehension he had seen in his life.
Why would she hide in such an obvious place?

It was exactly because the religious preceptor was aware of this that he did not rush off to the Chain mountains immediately.
The other Monk Kings also found this to be unlikely.

“Perhaps the Great Banyan Tree King is sheltering her.” “Clouded city is possible too.” “She might still be deep underground, hiding in the magma.
The interference from the underground magnetic field is too strong, so we can’t find her.”

The religious preceptor of the left said, “No one can permit the existence of the buddha nemesis.
She won’t trust these people, and it’s even more impossible for her to hide deep underground in her current state.” He made up his mind.
“We’re going to the Chain mountains!”

Home—now that was definitely the place where a person felt the safest.
After enduring all the pain from the outside world, it was the only place where they could find comfort.

Within the rising and falling Chain mountains, the small, lonely mountain seemed so ordinary.

However, the three words engraved in rock, “Qing Xiao’s Home”, contained unforgettable memories.
This was their home.
