In the incessant roar of the monster with a Buddha face all over its body, a Vajra Seal descended from the sky and encircled the monster.

The Vajra Seal kept flickering and hovering, rendering the monster immobile.

Laojun made a move.

Sun Wukong descended from the sky, wielding his hundred-zhang-long golden cudgel, and fiercely smashed it onto the Buddha face in the middle of the monster.

The roaring of the Buddha face on the monster abruptly ceased.

"When I placed Sun Wukong as the core inside the monster's heart, failure was already destined," Laojun said beside me. "When the talisman I gave was pasted on the monster's heart, the entire fusion process was interrupted, and the monster lost its consciousness."

Likeness' face began to disintegrate inch by inch, spreading throughout the monster's body.

"Naturally vulnerable." I heard Laojun say.

With a loud bang, the monster turned into scattered debris.

From then on, there were no more Buddhas in Mount Ling.

Sun Wukong's calamity had come to an end.

I bid farewell to Laojun and prepared to return to Mount Fangcun to report to my master.

But I saw Laojun's clone raise his hand, and the ruins of Mount Ling emitted a rumbling sound once again.

A massive mountain emerged amidst the ruins of Mount Ling.

Then, another Great Thunderclap Temple appeared in the new Mount Ling.

Just as Sun Wukong, who had destroyed Likeness, was about to leave, he was trapped by the Vajra Seal retrieved by Laojun. A mountain peak in the shape of a hand appeared above Sun Wukong's head, pressing him into the ground unexpectedly.

"Laojun, what are you doing?"

I turned my head in astonishment and flew towards the Five-Finger Mountain, intending to save Sun Wukong.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, who was pinned beneath the mountain, struggled fiercely, seemingly about to lift the mountain.

A talisman appeared at the top of the Five-Finger Mountain.

The radiance of the talisman repelled me, and then it seemed to add thousands of pounds of force to the Five-Finger Mountain, making it impossible for Sun Wukong to break free from its restraints.

"This is the punishment for Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Court and the destruction of the physical bodies of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother," Laojun's clone said to me. Descending slowly from the sky, he walked into the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Before closing the palace door, Laojun's clone turned around. His face had already transformed into that of Likeness.

The palace door slammed shut, and Laojun's voice echoed from afar.

"I will turn the barbarian into a Buddha, and the mountain will press Sun Wukong for five hundred years. After five hundred years, the Journey to the West will restart."

The End.
