Chapter 1982 Tathagata Vows
After saying goodbye to the Taoist Master Ran Deng and Tathagata, Zhang Xuezhou and the others chanted incantations and cast spells to fly again.

"Is there some secret to this physical skill? I have only connected more than 200 acupoints, but how come I am completely free of fatigue after waking up?"

As Zhang Xuezhou stepped on the wind and waves, Rong Tianding felt that today's flying was much easier than yesterday, and his body did not feel tired at all from yesterday's flying.

Rong Tianding quickly thought about yesterday’s practice.

"The physical body technique can relieve some of the fatigue, but the most important thing is the spiritual fish," Zhang Xuezhou said, "This is the spiritual food that Master Ran Deng is going to give to Tathagata. It can have an effect on the cultivators in the Self-Only Realm, and it is a great tonic for you. Relieving fatigue is only a small effect, and nourishing your physical body is the big effect."

"This kind of fate is simply incredible," Rong Tianding exclaimed, "Cousin, wherever you go, people really send you good things!"

"It's not really a coincidence," Zhang Xuezhou said, "It's just that their cultivation level is too high, so we got a little advantage by following them. It's just like Wang Ermaizi went to your house and happened to run into your family slaughtering a pig, and then ate a meal of pork!"

“My family kills pigs every day!”

“This is what they do every day!”

Taoist Master Ran Deng caught a magical fish yesterday, but the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and even every day of this year, he had been constantly searching for all kinds of rare treasures.

The things the other party is looking for are not only available every day, but also every now and then.

"The old Taoist used to look for medicinal herbs in the mountains, but why did he find them by the river this time?" Rong Tianding said.

"He has the ability to find it!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied to Rong Tianding, but he didn't make his words too clear.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng might have the real ability to find, but Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Taoist Master Ran Deng's ability to find accurately was most likely derived from the Great Sage Water Ape.

Thinking of the little monkey locked in the bowl, Zhang Xuezhou was thoughtful for a moment.

He did not have any special relationship with the Great Sage of the Water Ape. In the past, he was even chased by the other party for dozens of miles. It was not until Zhang Xuezhou took the feather of the Golden Crow Emperor that the Great Sage of the Water Ape became friendly to him.

Because of this kindness, Zhang Xuezhou decided to inform the Kunlun Holy Land about the matter, which could be considered a conclusion.

As for taking risks like rescuing the Aquatic Monkey King, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would have to go crazy to do it.

He rode the wind without any reluctance and went straight over mountains and across rivers.

In the distance, the Taoist Master Ran Deng, who was holding the coffin lamp, reached out and touched a white cloud that covered his body, and then gracefully returned and fell.

"Why did Uncle Master chase them for a while?" Tathagata asked suspiciously.

“Thus I have heard, one should not judge people’s hearts by appearances, the words behind them are the words of conscience,” said the Taoist Master Ran Deng, clasping his hands together.

"Did they speak the truth?" asked Tathagata.

“They have good consciences, they just hid their cultivation from us.” Taoist Master Ran Deng said, “The court official Dongfang Shuo was only at the sixth level when I saw him before, but now he has entered the seventh level. He must have had some kind of luck when he was away from home to be able to break through the realm!”

"The East is full of wonderful things, but we in the West can only eat bamboo and wood." Tathagata was quite dissatisfied and said, "Why did our sect go to the West? If we had stayed in the East, wouldn't we have become a great sect?"

"Can't beat it!"

The Taoist Master Ran Deng gave a brief reply, which made Tathagata open his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng gave the most obvious and practical reason.

There is no other reason. If you are not as skilled as others, you must give way. If you don’t, there will probably be no Western religion in the world today.

There were numerous great schools of thought in the East, and they also disappeared one after another in the long river of history. However, Western religion had taken deep roots in Hezhou, Xiniu, and was not impacted. It still retains a very complete heritage.

"Then we live in a corner, poor and broken, so we will never be able to defeat the East. We can only watch them enjoy the best conditions and watch them become stronger," asked Tathagata with a little reluctance.

"If one day you can make Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Laojun call you a Taoist friend, you will have a place in the East," said the Taoist master Ran Deng. "The first and second leaders..."

“They’re old!”

The Taoist Master Ran Deng shook his head.

The two Western leaders and the Three Pure Ones had once been equally powerful in the past, but at that time the Three Pure Ones were not the supreme leaders of the East.

Later, the two Western leaders aged and suffered in Xiniu Hezhou, and their strength continued to decline, while the Three Pure Ones in the Immortal Court lived a life of luxury. To this day, no one knows how much life these people have left, and their strength is said to be increasing.

As one side retreats and the other side advances, Western religions no longer have the confidence to challenge.

Even if the Immortal Court erected the West Heaven Gate in the secret place of Lingshan, it could do nothing about it. Until now, it has been just talk but never any real action.

"If I were the leader, I would make sure that the Three Pure Ones no longer looked down upon us Western believers. If I were the leader, I would tear down all the unequal hidden rules between the East and the West. If I were the leader, my religion would have its own name, instead of being considered as belonging to the Western barbarians and simply being given a name of a direction. If I were the leader, I would lead the believers into the East. If I were the leader..."

Tathagata whispered.

His face was calm, but the fire in his heart was burning fiercely.

For many people in the West, only those with extraordinary talent can reach the top with limited resources.

Tathagata, Shigatsi, Brahma and others have all traveled to the East to varying degrees, with the sole purpose of obtaining abundant resources for practice.

There has never been any school in the East that requires the ascetic practice like the Western religions. They traveled tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles to practice and make up for their shortcomings successfully, but more ascetics died along the way.

This is obviously an unfair thing. Tathagata whispered and vowed to pursue the fairness that he recognized.

He even thought about standing in front of the Three Pure Ones one day, pointing at these high and mighty ones and declaring that the era that belonged to them was over.

"If you want to become the leader, you must defeat Brahma, Shigong, and Vishnu, these three stinky bugs that are sticking together." The Taoist Master Ran Deng said: "I can't interfere in the fight between you two saints. You can only rely on yourself for everything."

"These three are really difficult to deal with... We have to find Wuchao!"

The oath made in one's heart is one thing, but the fight for the Holy Son of the Western Church is a real fight.

Tathagata's physical body skills were very powerful and could defeat many magics, allowing Brahma and others to unite and target him.

He has no problem dealing with one on one, but he has trouble handling three on his own.

Tathagata thought for a long time, and couldn't help but think of the junior brother of the Western Sect who had been his disciple for less than ten years.

The opponent is smart, has extremely strange magic skills, and is good at sneak attacks. He is a rare talent who can defeat the strong with the weak.

Tathagata doesn't like this kind of people, but he is not afraid to join forces with them, especially since his cultivation level is just enough to defeat Wuchao. Even if Wuchao rebels, it will not bring him any danger.

If Wuchao could lend him a helping hand, as long as he could involve Vishnu, the weakest, Tathagata felt that his chances of inheriting Western religion would increase by 20%.

"Wu Chao can intervene in the fight for the Holy Son. If my uncle can give him some pointers and let him involve one person, my chances of succeeding the sect will be at least 60%!"

"Then find Wuchao first!"

Tathagata's estimates have always been conservative, and if one is optimistic, the estimate might even be as high as 80%.

Obviously, the addition of Wuchao can greatly increase Tathagata's winning rate.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng had never looked at Wu Chao in the eye before, but since Tathagata said so, he had no choice but to be friendly to Wu Chao.
