Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!

Purple Gold Bell?

Chen Nuo was stunned. Wasn't that Guanyin's magical treasure, capable of spouting fire, producing smoke, and whipping up wind and sand?

Could it be that Tian Peng had dismantled Guanyin's magical treasure?

This is insanely awesome. Although shocked, it did not hinder Chen Nuo's choice.

"Erase!"

Who cares whose magical treasure it is? Once it's here, don't expect it to leave. The various treasures Tian Peng had offered before were of little use and were all transformed by Chen Nuo.

And this fire bell, he thought, would be perfect for barbecues and the like.

"Ding, erasure successful. Would you like to convert it into Merit Points?"

"Don't convert."

At Mount Luojia in the South Sea, where Guanyin was meditating, her face instantly turned pale, and she let out a stifled moan, feeling an unbearable pain in her soul.

But what emerged more was a spontaneous anger as the soul imprint on her fire bell had been forcefully erased.

She was at the peak level of a Daluo Golden Immortal. How could Tian Peng, just a minor Taiyi, erase her soul imprint?

What a Tian Peng, Guanyin thought, gritting her teeth. Her delicate hands formed a spell, trying to divine Tian Peng's whereabouts.

But to her astonishment, she found that Tian Peng had vanished?

What the hell!

Could it be that Tian Peng wanted to devour her treasure and had her master Xuandu cover his tracks?

Coldness filled Guanyin's eyes. To think of devouring her magical treasure? No door to that!

Hide for a day, and she would divine for a day, she did not believe Tian Peng would remain hidden forever!

Even though they, Buddhism, had firm control over the future, he still dared to scheme against her. Tian Peng must be taught a harsh lesson; this matter was not yet settled!

On the other side, Tian Peng, feeling the information of fate coming from the crystal ball, was overjoyed. A mere Taiyi Golden Immortal level magical treasure had withstood eight chances.

So excited was he that he nearly threw in his own Nine-toothed Rake.

But in the end, he calmed down, for that was his livelihood.

Tian Peng raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle, contemplating the view outside the window, sinking into deep thought. It seemed he should not limit his targets to mere Golden Immortal level magical treasures.

If those of Taiyi Golden Immorrentals were like that, what about Daluo Golden Immortals, or Quasi-Saints?

Tian Peng clenched his fists tightly, a resolute look passing through his eyes, he was to set his sights on the entire Three Realms!

Yes, that's the plan!

The crystal ball did not inform Tian Peng of the specific details of the magical treasure; otherwise, Tian Peng might have had a different thought.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I'm leaving.

Tian Peng walked out with his head held high, eager to seek out more treasures.

"Take care!" Chen Nuo watched Tian Peng leave, waving his hand casually to close the door.

Looking at the substantial increase in Merit Points, Chen Nuo smiled with satisfaction. He appreciated someone like Tian Peng who was willing to do anything for the sake of good food.

Touching the now-lit upgrade button, Chen Nuo's aura surged instantaneously. At the peak of Heavenly Immortal, he wasn't far from becoming a True Immortal.

Chen Nuo took a deep breath. The restaurant needed more customers; he didn't want to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of years in the same place!

If the system hadn't restricted direct advertising, he would've let Wukong take a stack of promotional posters with him when he left.

Above in the Heavenly Court, Haotian finished reviewing the memorials and felt as if something was missing.

Right, he hadn't yet bestowed a reward upon Tian Peng. It was by his decree, although he didn't know why, out of all others in the naval forces of the Dragon King of the South Sea, it had to be Tian Peng.

But indeed, Tian Peng had achieved extraordinary results, and his strength was not as weak as he had initially thought.

"Where is Tian Peng?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than there was no response.

After several moments, Gold Star Taibai stepped forward: "Your Majesty Jade Emperor, Marshal Tian Peng might not have ascended to the Upper Realm yet."

The expression on Haotian's face was rather unsightly. What did Tian Peng think his Heavenly Palace was?

With a sudden slap on the imperial desk, he commanded, "Thousand-Mile Eye, go and see where Tian Peng is for me!"

Growing arrogant due to his merits, if I do not make an example out of this one, who knows how many others will follow in his footsteps!

Thousand-Mile Eye acceded and used his Innate Divine Ability to search for Tian Peng in the Lower Realm. In no time at all, he found him.

However, Tian Peng was found fighting, and the person he was battling with caused Thousand-Mile Eye's complexion to change drastically.

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, something terrible has happened; Marshal Tian Peng is fighting with Bodhisattva Guanyin!"

For a moment, all the immortals, including the Jade Emperor, were too stunned to react. Were Tian Peng and the Great Guanyin living in a dream?

"Marshal Tian Peng and Bodhisattva Guanyin are fighting in the sky above Qingyun Mountain!" Thousand-Mile Eye added, his voice urgent.

Haotian was the first to snap back to reality. He used the Haotian Mirror according to the location for a live broadcast of the scene.

A moment before the tea time.

"I wonder if the other Dragon Kings have any precious treasures." Tian Peng flew through the clouds, his mind seemingly wandering.

"Tian Peng!"

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant with a tinge of anger from a female voice reached Tian Peng's ears. Startled, he nearly tumbled from the clouds.

"Well, well, if it isn't Bodhisattva Guanyin! What a coincidence, to bump into you just by flying around. Greetings to Bodhisattva Guanyin!"

Upon recognizing the visitor, Tian Peng greeted her with a smile plastered across his face and tried to sidestep away. He was in no mood to deal with anyone at the moment, as he was on the hunt for treasures.

Seeing Tian Peng feigning ignorance, Guanyin's face turned cold. She extended her bare hand and commanded, "Hand it over!"

Tian Peng was utterly confused. What did she want?

"Give me back my bell!" Guanyin's tone grew even colder.

A bell?

Tian Peng involuntarily paused, then it dawned on him. Could it be the bell he had just taken in?

"Bodhisattva Guanyin must be joking. How could I possibly have your bell?" Tian Peng shrugged and feigned ignorance.

"The date-red bell that releases Li Fire!" Guanyin was not buying Tian Peng's act and directly exposed the bell's appearance and capabilities.

This is bad! I was too hasty!

It didn't take a fool for Tian Peng to realize that the owner of the magical treasure was Guanyin; otherwise, such an important figure in Buddhism wouldn't have sought him out specifically.

But Tian Peng still wanted to struggle. After all, he couldn't just run back to Chaos Residence to ask for it back, could he?

How would Shopkeeper Chen view him if he lost his favorable policies in the future? That was something he simply could not allow!

"Indeed, I have come into possession of a bell, but that was a war prize I seized while vanquishing demons. Now Bodhisattva, you claim it to be your magical treasure."

"I am puzzled as to why, Bodhisattva, being a Great Luo mighty one, your magical treasure ended up with a Taiyi Golden Immortal carp demon?"

Tian Peng shook his head disingenuously, playing the fool.

"Amitabha Buddha, that is a matter concerning the poor monk." Guanyin recited the Buddha's name, clearly not inclined to answer the question.

But how could Tian Peng let her have her way?

"As a Marshal of the Heavenly Court, subduing demons and eradicating evil is my duty. Now that the magical treasure is seized from the hands of the demons, I have the right to inquire!"

Tian Peng puffed out his chest, trying to appear dignified and rightful. As a disciple of the Human Sect and with his identity in the Heavenly Court, he indeed had the right to inquire.

Guanyin clenched her teeth in frustration, her voice cold as she spoke, "That was a brocade carp fish raised by the poor monk, and it called the poor monk..."

"Oh!" Tian Peng interrupted with an alarmed and horrified tone, cutting Guanyin off as if he had stumbled upon a major revelation, "I never expected that you, Bodhisattva Guanyin, the one always showing compassion towards others, would be involved in such actions that cause chaos in the South Sea behind their backs!"

Guanyin felt like she was about to spit blood in anger. Couldn't he let her finish speaking?

Although it was the truth, who would brazenly blurt it out like this?

Guanyin remembered when Tian Peng, upon seeing her, would always be nothing but respectful, nodding and bowing. How could he now dare be so audacious?

How dare he!!!
