Chapter 33

After leaving the Heavenly Court, Guanyin Bodhisattva took Yang Zhen and flew towards the South Sea, quickly arriving at Luojia Mountain in the South Sea.

Yang Zhen remembered reading a book before, which said that when early humans encountered a creature they liked, they could simply knock it out with a stick and drag it back to their cave, and then they could live together for the rest of their lives.

It's just like that!

The vast ocean stretched endlessly, with the water merging into the sky. Although the South Sea was not as grand as the East Sea, it had its own unique charm. The waves roared to the blue sky, and the ripples spread across the white daylight. The emerald sea surface was as soft as silk, gently rippling. From a high vantage point, the vast expanse of water seemed boundless, stretching endlessly.

Having been in the mythological world for over two hundred years, this was Yang Zhen's first time seeing the sea of this world. Unlike Earth, the current Immortal World had evolved from the ancient primordial era, spanning an unknown number of thousands of miles. If one did not have the power of a deity, a mortal would spend their entire life and still not be able to traverse the vast primordial continent.

The vast oceans on Earth, though also boundless and vast, could still have their area calculated. However, the sea here was truly boundless, and even a Great Perfection Golden Immortal had never been to the other side of the sea. Perhaps only the Sages knew how vast this world truly was.

"Truly magnificent! Seeing the sea has made my mood much better." Although he had become a prisoner, this did not prevent Yang Zhen from expressing his joy at seeing the sea.

Muzha looked at Yang Zhen curiously, not understanding why his master had brought this demon to Luojia Mountain. From the look on his master's face, it seemed that the master was quite tolerant of this demon. With Muzha's limited intelligence, he could not figure out why. However, Muzha did not think much of this demon of unknown origin. After all, Muzha was once a third-generation disciple of the Orthodox Sect, heavily influenced by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, and he did not look favorably upon the lowly intelligent demon races.

"Amitabha, since you like it here, you won't be lonely even if you stay for a hundred years." Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at Yang Zhen and said calmly.

Hearing this, Yang Zhen wisely chose to remain silent, as his life was still in their hands. Being too arrogant could lead to punishment. Yang Zhen knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva had three golden bands, which were powerful divine artifacts. The Tightening Band subdued Sun Wukong, the Restraining Band subdued the Black Bear Spirit, and the Golden Band subdued the Red Boy. Yang Zhen did not want to be bound by any of them, as it would mean unnecessary suffering.

Previously, Yang Zhen dared to be cheeky with Guanyin Bodhisattva because he had already noticed that Patriarch Subhuti had some unknown connection with Buddhism. Based on the information he had seen online in his previous life, Yang Zhen increasingly believed that Patriarch Subhuti was a manifestation of Samantabhadra. In that case, Yang Zhen could be considered a disciple of a Buddhist Sage. As Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was determined to align with Buddhism, would not kill Yang Zhen, but could still make his life difficult.

After observing the journey, Yang Zhen clearly felt that Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression was becoming increasingly dark.

Luojia Mountain, being Guanyin Bodhisattva's abode, was truly a place for secluded cultivation. The mountain peaks soared high, piercing the sky, with a thousand varieties of exotic flowers and a hundred kinds of auspicious herbs. The wind swayed the treasure trees, and the sun illuminated the golden lotuses. The Guanyin Hall was covered with glazed tiles, and the entrance to the Tide Sound Cave was adorned with tortoiseshell. The green willows cast shadows where parrots chattered, and the purple bamboo forests echoed with the cries of peacocks. Luojia Mountain was indeed a fine place for secluded cultivation, comparable to Mount Fangcun, but with a touch of brightness, while Mount Fangcun had a touch of ethereal beauty.

Landing in front of the Tide Sound Cave, the Good Fortune Dragon Girl was already there to welcome them. After sending Muzha back to cultivate, Guanyin Bodhisattva took Yang Zhen into the Tide Sound Cave and released the restrictions on him.

Glancing at Yang Zhen, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "What is your name, cat demon, and where do you cultivate?"

Shaking off his clothes, Yang Zhen sat down on the ground and said, "My name is Yang Zhen, and I cultivate on Mount Fangcun."

"Rude! How dare you be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva..." Seeing Yang Zhen's audacity in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Good Fortune Dragon Girl, who usually respected Guanyin Bodhisattva the most, immediately became furious, pointing at Yang Zhen and scolding him, ready to fight at any moment.

Glancing at the Good Fortune Dragon Girl, Yang Zhen saw that she was just a little girl and did not take her seriously. Instead, he continued to speak to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "If the Bodhisattva has no further instructions, I will go and guard the mountain for you. I need to know which demons often come here to cause trouble so I can be prepared."

Seeing that Yang Zhen looked down on her, the Good Fortune Dragon Girl was furious but did not dare to act rashly due to Guanyin Bodhisattva's presence. She glared at Yang Zhen and mouthed, "You're dead, just wait."

"Usually, no demons come here to cause trouble. You just need to focus on your cultivation here." Guanyin Bodhisattva remained calm and did not blame Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva and flattered, "The Bodhisattva truly is a saint, with such an extraordinary mind. I am deeply impressed, unlike a certain little girl."

"Who are you calling a little girl? I could be your grandmother." The Good Fortune Dragon Girl could not help but retort.

"This demon is really annoying. Why did the Bodhisattva bring him to Luojia Mountain? Humph! You can be arrogant now, but once the Bodhisattva goes into seclusion, you'll see what happens." The Good Fortune Dragon Girl glared at Yang Zhen, viciously imagining how she would torment him in the future.

"Um..." Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva's mood seemed to improve, Yang Zhen seized the opportunity and said, "Bodhisattva, if I behave well, can you reduce my sentence? A hundred years is too long. What do you think...?"

Before Yang Zhen could finish, Guanyin Bodhisattva closed her eyes, pretending not to hear.

What the hell!

If it weren't for the vast difference in cultivation between them, Yang Zhen would have already confronted her.

Sighing helplessly, Yang Zhen finally gave up on trying to persuade Guanyin Bodhisattva. This old woman was completely unyielding, and no matter how he threatened or pleaded, it was useless.

"Even if you don't agree, I will eventually escape from Luojia Mountain. Old woman, go play with your cucumbers, I don't want to stay with you for a hundred years." Yang Zhen secretly planned his escape from Luojia Mountain. Although staying there was safe and he could listen to Guanyin Bodhisattva's teachings, being captured in this way was extremely unpleasant for him.

The moment he stepped out of the Tide Sound Cave, Yang Zhen suddenly felt like he was playing "Dream West" in his previous life. Once, when he played on Mount Potala, every time he had a patrol mission, he would come out of the Tide Sound Cave...

Sigh! This time, he really had to patrol for Guanyin Bodhisattva.

However, in this mythological world, Guanyin Bodhisattva's abode was Luojia Mountain, and this Guanyin Bodhisattva was clearly not as gentle as the Guanyin Sister.
