Seeing Sun Wukong nod his head, Lao-tze couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "Great Sage, you are just a blind man, not seeing Mt. Tai at all!"2
With that, Lao-tze pointed at Xiao Tian, who was beside Sun Wukong, and sighed. "With Fellow Taoist Xiao to cover your destiny. If Fellow Taoist Xiao is unwilling to let you get involved with the Infinitesimal Calamity, who in the Three Realms has the ability to let you participate in this tribulation?"
Lao-tze was telling the truth. Originally, before Sun Wukong was born, after Lao-tzeson suddenly took over Flowerfruit Mountain, he and Jade Emperor had secretly thought about what they should do if Xiao Tianzhen intended to interfere with the Infinitesimal Calamity.
Originally, Jade Emperor and Lao-tze had already found a substitute to replace Sun Wukong, and they planned to let the substitute replace Sun Wukong at the critical moment, and continue promoting the development of Infinitesimal Calamity.
However, even though Xiao Tian had cut down Flowerfruit Mountain, he had played a trick on the many almighty elders of the Three Realms, causing them to think that Xiao Tian did not intend to interfere with the Infinitesimal Calamity.
That was why Jade Emperor and Lao-tze didn't use the substitute to replace Sun Wukong.
Later on, after Sun Wukong revealed his Sun Fire, the Infinitesimal Calamity had already started. Even if they used substitutes to replace Sun Wukong, it would be useless.
Fortunately, Xiao Tian seemed to be quite interested in the Infinitesimal Calamity this time. He did not stop Sun Wukong from being involved in this tribulation, and even personally went onto the Lingxiao Hall, telling them to follow the original plan.
Otherwise, Jade Emperor and Lao-tze really wouldn't dare to scheme against Sun Wukong.
After all, Sun Wukong was Xiao Tian's disciple. If it was on Xiao Tian's side, then Sun Wukong's attitude would have been different. In an unknown situation, if he rashly plotted against Sun Wukong, it was very likely that he would offend Xiao Tian. Jade Emperor and Lao-tze would never do something like this!
Hearing Lao-tze's words, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before coming to a sudden realization.
That's right, he had always neglected his own master.
With his master's strength, even the entire Three Realms would not be able to find an opponent for him.
But with his master's power, isolating the influence that the Infinitesimal Calamity had on him was not difficult at all.
In this kind of situation, it was normal for him, the key person in the Infinitesimal Calamity, to not sense the arrival of the Infinitesimal Calamity!
Seeing Sun Wukong's expression, Lao-tze lightly nodded his head. Then, he looked at Xiao Tian and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Taoist Xiao, now that you have been suppressed by the Five Color Godly Mountain, your face has been swept across the floor.
"What should we do next? Follow the original plan and send Seeker of Scripture westward, or …"
"Just follow your plan," Xiao Tian smiled and said lightly, "I think you guys have already set up the difficult situation on the way here, right?"
Lao-tze smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
Xiao Tian was right, in fact, before the Infinitesimal Calamity began, the buddhist gods had already divided the benefits completely. If Xiao Tian did not appear, the buddhist faith would naturally obtain the greatest benefits.
The Buddhist Sect in the Western Barrenlands had the opportunity to enter the resource-rich Divine Great Land and use the resources of the Divine Great Land to speed up its development.
Although Lao-tze and the rest were powerless to stop it, they divided most of the benefits that were gained outside of the Buddhist East Crossing.
The almighty elders and famous Loose Immortals of the Heavenly Court had all arranged for this to happen, and were all prepared to plunder a sum of Heaven's Path Merits.
