The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 107: Strange Light Gate


"The Heavenly Emperor is wondering if the White Robed Venerate can't possibly locate the Three Realms?"

The old Taoist saw Sun Wukong's expression and couldn't help but ask.

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, "Could it be that he knows where the Three Realms are?"

"Most likely knows."

The old Taoist replied, "The White Robed Venerate is not a person from the Heavenly Court; he has traveled through thousands of Chaotic worlds, everything is in his heart, so finding the Three Realms is not impossible."

Sun Wukong abruptly stood up.

"What relation does the White Robed Venerate have with the Venerables?"

He asked in such a manner.

The old Taoist muttered to himself about Sun Wukong's intelligence, always capable of thinking one step ahead.

"I cannot say that."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and replied, "If the Heavenly Emperor wishes to know, why not give me that egg, and I will tell everything."

"Egg?"

Sun Wukong's face darkened.

How could the pharmacy know about that egg?

Could it be what the shopkeeper wanted?

"Don't speak, then forget it."

Sun Wukong thought, and said, "I must chase after this White Robed Venerate, today we shall part ways, and I will visit another day."

He said his goodbyes to the old Taoist with clasped hands.

Sun Wukong left some monkey hair in the pharmacy, not worried at all about finding this place in the future.

The old Taoist was somewhat startled; he thought Sun Wukong was asking him for help, and perhaps he would have a chance to obtain that egg.

But he didn't expect Sun Wukong to give up on questioning, foiling his plans.

The old Taoist felt internally, this monkey was indeed not so easy to manipulate.

"It's fine."

The old Taoist thought, and said, "I will stay here for a while; if the Heavenly Emperor cannot overcome the White Robed Venerate, you can come back to find me."

He really didn't believe Sun Wukong could defeat the White Robed Venerate.

Sun Wukong glanced at him and walked out of the pharmacy.

Outside the pharmacy, Immortal Zhenyuan also came back led by a disciple.

"How is it?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"It indeed is the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Immortal Zhenyuan's expression relaxed a bit, yet surprised: "I didn't expect there to be a Ginseng Fruit Tree in Chaos."

"Chaos and the Three Realms were originally one."

Sun Wukong's eyes sparkled as he said, "Anything that exists in the Three Realms, it's not strange for it to exist in Chaos."

Immortal Zhenyuan looked at Sun Wukong, feeling that he seemed to have learned something new.

Sun Wukong then informed Immortal Zhenyuan that the White Robed Venerate had gone to the Three Realms.

After hearing this, Immortal Zhenyuan became anxious: "Then what are we waiting for, dear brother, we must chase after him!"

Sun Wukong nodded.

The group left the Immortal Island and quickly returned to the exit in Chaos.

"Come up."

Sun Wukong shrank them and grabbed them in his hand, then he looked back at the location of the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was once again enveloped by a barrier, invisible from the outside.

Sun Wukong withdrew his gaze and stepped into the alternate space.

He didn't take long to emerge from the Ghost Star Domain.

Just as he came out, Sun Wukong saw the giant Heavenly Machine coming towards him.

"The same move, you think it will work twice?"

Sun Wukong thought, and suddenly a majestic Wanling diagram emerged outside the Heavenly Machine, dazzling and bright.

Sun Wukong's figure flashed, flying out from the Wanling diagram, breaking through the Heavenly Machine, heading towards the four corners of Ghost Mansion.

"Stop!"

Several giant dragons chased after him from behind.

Sun Wukong didn't look back, and with a casual wave, a terrifying wave of air exploded behind him, sweeping in all directions, after which the giant dragon's cries could no longer be heard.

He executed several Somersault Clouds in succession and flew at top speed to Ghost Star Domain Quadrant Four, only then releasing Immortal Zhenyuan and the others.

"Junior brother, you flew too fast."

Immortal Zhenyuan felt somewhat dizzy.

Everyone else felt queasy and disoriented, and it took them a while to recover.

Once they had recovered, they looked at Sun Wukong again, only to find that he was staring at Ghost Star Domain Quadrant Four with a surprised expression.

Everyone followed his gaze, their eyes wide with shock.

Just as they had anticipated, Ghost Star Domain Quadrant Four was a Pure Land, with Lingshan radiating endless Spiritual Energy.

But at the summit of Lingshan, there floated a script made of flames – Sanskrit characters.

These Sanskrit characters connected to form a Light Gate much larger than Lingshan itself.

The Light Gate hovered in the sky, radiating an immortal aura, surrounded by billions of lotus blossoms, dazzling and capable of rivaling the sun in the sky.

"What is that gate?"

Everyone's gaze was drawn to the Light Gate.

"That's where we need to go."

The maiden noticed something amiss and said, "How did it turn out like this?"

"The White Robed Venerate discovered this place long ago."

Immortal Zhenyuan came to a realization and said, "This gate doesn't seem like it was just built."

"It hasn't fully formed yet, but it's been here for at least a hundred years."

Sun Wukong's eyes blazed as he noticed that the Light Gate was not very stable and probably still forming.

Around the Light Gate, seated in the lotuses were Arhats, chanting True Words, using Buddha Light to shape the Light Gate; Sun Wukong knew at once that the Light Gate had been under construction for at least a hundred years.

He saw beams of light occasionally flying out of the gate, each one an Exotic Beast he had never seen before.

"Do you recognize those Exotic Beasts?"

Sun Wukong asked the maiden.

She shook her head: "They are not creatures from the Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong understood.

"This is a gate that leads beyond the Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong said, "The White Robed Venerate is using it to bring in Exotic Beasts from outside."

He noticed that when these Exotic Beasts flew out, each of them was disoriented, then taken away by the Arhats surrounding Lingshan.

Sun Wukong suspected that the three Firebirds were actually from this gate, merely taken elsewhere by the White Robed Venerate.

"What exactly is the White Robed Venerate doing?"

Sun Wukong didn't know what the White Robed Venerate was planning, but he sensed that it was no simple matter.

He watched for a while, then made a decision.

"A powerful air lingers on the gate; the White Robed Venerate has already gone through it."

Sun Wukong declared, "I must follow him, but I need you all to protect this place."

"Protect?"

Immortal Zhenyuan looked at the Light Gate in surprise: "Could those bald monks actually stop you, junior brother?"

"Those Arhats are not powerful, but I'm afraid if I leave, they might try to destroy the gate."

Sun Wukong said, "This gate will be crucial later; please protect it while I chase after the White Robed Venerate."

"This gate was built by them."

Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head, "Why would they destroy it?"

"It's always good to be extra cautious."

Sun Wukong chuckled, "Immortal, I will return to the Three Realms alone faster, and take more people back. These Arhats are no match for you, this is the perfect place to show your Divine Skills."

Immortal Zhenyuan waved his horsetail whisk and nodded, "In that case, go without worry, junior brother!"

Sun Wukong gave a few instructions, and then his silhouette flashed and disappeared.

"Let's go!"

Immortal Zhenyuan led the others towards the Light Gate, immediately drawing the attention of the Arhats with a fierce burst of Immortal Light.

"They're coming!"

The Arhats were alarmed and surrounded them.

Unnoticed by anyone, a streak of light quickly rushed into the Light Gate and disappeared.
