The Jade Emperor was furious: "Bodhi, are you here to snatch it too?"

A figure holding a whisk appeared above the clouds, and it was none other than Monkey's long-lost master, Patriarch Bodhi.

"I've been laying the groundwork for five hundred years. I should have a share of these merits and virtues, shouldn't I?"

His gaze fixed on Zhenyuanzi, who had already arrived at the scene: "Brother Dao, can you release the monks of Mount Ling now?"

I stared at this master who had also been laying the groundwork for five hundred years, Monkey's master.

When Monkey was suppressed, he didn't appear. When Monkey fell, he didn't appear.

But when the merits and virtues appeared, he came.

He even exchanged moves with the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

It wasn't his patience or ruthlessness that shocked me the most.

What shocked me was the unadorned Buddha light emanating from him.

Zhenyuanzi sneered, shook his sleeve, and suddenly revealed the multitude of Buddhas within.

With Bodhi and the Jade Emperor clashing, and Zhenyuanzi, the progenitor of the Earth Immortals, watching greedily from the side, who would dare approach the Dao Fruit?

But only one person ignored the presence of the giants.

I moved swiftly, taking advantage of the hesitation and fear among the various forces, and approached the Dao Fruit in one fell swoop.

That fruit and I shared the same origin and connection, and it poured into my head directly.

Having achieved complete merit and virtue through the Journey to the West.

I felt a sense of total transparency throughout my body. My cultivation, which had already reached its peak, suddenly soared even higher.

I reached a realm that was ethereal and indistinct, devoid of sorrow or joy—a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

At this point, in terms of cultivation strength, I was already on par with Zhenyuanzi, the Jade Emperor, and Tathagata.

"Damn it!" The Jade Emperor and Bodhi exclaimed simultaneously.

They never expected that while they were restraining each other and guarding against Zhenyuanzi as the third party, I would unexpectedly benefit from it.

Bodhi said coldly, "From now on, the Three Realms have gained another opponent!"

The Jade Emperor looked at him disdainfully and said, "Tathagata, up until now, you're still appearing as a Bodhi incarnation. Is that interesting?"

"What a waste of this identity."

Tathagata chuckled, and with a flash of light, he transformed into someone else.

It was none other than the Lord of Mount Ling, the Tathagata of the Western Heaven.

Patriarch Bodhi was Tathagata, and Tathagata was Patriarch Bodhi.

At this moment, under Tathagata's command, the Buddhas of Mount Ling, released by Zhenyuanzi, roared, "Charge into the Heavenly Court!"
