This chapter seems a little messy, but I don't know how to change it now. I can only make do with it for now. Everyone, forgive me.
=================================================
Tang Sanzang could tell from Zhen Yuan's tone that Zhen Yuan didn't doubt him and was very touched. "Since it's confirmed that it wasn't done by our insiders, then it must have been stolen by outsiders." Moreover, that thief must be familiar with the Great Immortal's movements. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken advantage of you to attack.”He was a thief in his previous life, so he understood the psychology of thieves very well.
"Sanzang is right," Great Immortal Zhenyuan nodded."I suspect that it was the work of the immortals and Buddhas I have dealt with before. That's why I dare not make wild guesses in public."”
" Of course." Zhenwu Great Emperor nodded." The fellow daoists we know are all extraordinary people. If news of their theft were to be exposed, it would definitely cause a great uproar."”
"Brother Zhenyuan, besides the land, have you ever sent anyone to guard the Ginseng Fruit Tree?" Tang Sanzang asked.”
Great Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head and said," Ever since I established my Taoist temple on Longevity Mountain, I have been safe and sound. My friends in the Immortal and Buddhist Realms are also very polite. There has never been a theft. Who would have thought that such a situation would happen? The two ginsengs are a small matter, but if they are used by someone with ulterior motives, it will be really troublesome.”
Tang Sanzang suddenly thought of something and asked,"Could it be the work of a demon?"
Great Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head." I've placed a restriction on the entire Longevity Mountain. Evil creatures can't enter. Even if a powerful demon barged in, it would definitely leave traces. That's why I'm so sure that it was done by someone familiar.”
Tang Sanzang nodded. After a moment of silence, he asked,""Brother Zhenyuan, This Penniless Monk experienced a little of the effects of the Ginseng Fruit yesterday. It is indeed extraordinary. Can you describe all the effects of the Ginseng Fruit in detail? This way, we might be able to find some suspects from the motive.”
"That might be a solution." Zhenwu Great Emperor nodded.”
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan pondered for a moment before introducing,"The Ginseng Fruit is a product of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Other than prolonging one's life, eating it can also alleviate and eliminate all things that are harmful to one's body. For high-level immortals, the Ginseng Fruit can only be regarded as nourishment at most. However, for low-level immortals, such as cultivators, spiritual people, true people, or immortal beasts with no grade at all, eating a Ginseng Fruit can increase their cultivation by one level. Therefore, there are always some immortals who come to ask for the Ginseng Fruit, but most of them are rejected by This Penniless Monk. Immortal beasts, in particular, could easily become beast immortals after eating a ginseng fruit. Although beast immortals had no rank, their magic power was abnormally strong. Most of them were undisciplined, so the Heavenly Court strictly prohibited immortal beasts from eating ginseng fruits. The biggest worry now was that the Ginseng Fruit might be eaten by the Immortal Beast.”
"What's the difference between a Beast Immortal and an Immortal Beast?" Tang Sanzang asked curiously.”
" Immortal beasts are beasts with a certain amount of magic power," Great Immortal Zhen Yuan said." They generally can't transform into human form. They only show their original appearance to people. Many immortal beasts appear as the mounts of immortals and Buddhas. But Beast Immortals are different. Most of them can transform into human forms. Beast Immortals with powerful magic power can have the power of Grand Immortals or even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Most of them are self-reliant on their bravery and are disobedient. They often cause trouble. Our Immortal World has a headache against them.”
"Is Wukong considered a Beast Immortal?" Tang Sanzang asked.”
"The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal is born and raised by the earth. He doesn't belong to the category of Beast Immortals."”
Zhenwu Great Emperor interrupted." Brother Zhenyuan, you don't have to be too anxious. The situation in the Heavenly Court is like this. People with ulterior motives will come after you sooner or later. It's good to sound the alarm now, so that it won't be even more difficult to deal with in the future."”
" Of course I'm not worried," Great Immortal Zhen Yuan said." I'm not an immortal official of the Heavenly Court. Even if I lose the Ginseng Fruit, no one will punish me. I'm just a little disappointed." He did not expect that the battle in the Heavenly Court would actually be so unscrupulous. It was fine if he did not participate in the Jade Emperor election in the lower realm!”
Zhenwu Great Emperor quickly stopped him." No, Brother Zhenyuan. You can't quit. Otherwise, the plan that we've worked so hard to prepare for so long will be ruined. We'll let others take advantage of us!"”
Tang Sanzang then remembered that he had heard from Taibai Jinxing that Great Immortal Zhen Yuan was preparing to participate in the election of the next Jade Emperor. He asked tentatively,""Brother Zhenyuan, Brother Zhenwu, are you also against the integration of Buddhism and Taoism?”
Great Immortal Zhen Yuan glanced at Tang Sanzang and said with a smile,""I was just venting my dissatisfaction. Everyone has been preparing for so long. Even if it's not for myself, I have to think about my other Dao friends. Sanzang, you don't have to worry so much. We don't reject Buddhism as much as Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. The integration of Buddhism and Taoism is inevitable. Therefore, even if we take over the Heavenly Court, our administrative program won't change much.”
Tang Sanzang savored Great Immortal Zhen Yuan's words and suddenly smiled.""Brother Zhenyuan, the Ginseng Fruit is just a pretense. You want me to pass a message to Tathagata and get him to support you, right?”
Immortal Zhenyuan was not upset that he had been exposed. He smiled and said,"The Golden Zen Master is indeed smart. I brought Brother Zhenwu back to see you in a hurry mainly because I wanted your support. After all, Tathagata's Zen Sect is in a strong position now. Even if we can't be friends, we can't be enemies! What do you think?"
" I didn't expect the battle in the Heavenly Court to be so fierce," Tang Sanzang said with a smile." If I were to refuse, how could I be worthy of Brother Zhenyuan's precious Ginseng Fruit?"”He didn't have any ill feelings towards Zhenyuan Immortal and Zhenwu Great Emperor. He could hear the goodwill of Zhenyuan Immortal and agreed without thinking much.
"The Golden Zen Master is indeed straightforward!" Zhenwu Great Emperor said happily.”
" The Jade Emperor's lifestyle is corrupt," said Immortal Zhen Yuan." Many immortals in the Immortal World are dissatisfied with him. We have also contacted many immortals who are also dissatisfied with the Jade Emperor. If we can get the support of the Western Heaven, our chances of winning will be much higher.”
Tang Sanzang also had his own plans. The Heavenly Lord of the Origin rejected Buddhism, and Yang Jian and Wukong had a grudge against Bajie. If he wanted to get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Court, he would naturally choose the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.
The three of them discussed for a long time and made a temporary alliance. Tang Sanzang persuaded Tathagata to support Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, and the existing forces of the Western Heaven in the Heavenly Court remained unchanged.
After the agreement was made, the three of them clapped and laughed."Sanzang, you've become the target of public criticism on your journey to the west. You must be extremely careful. Tathagata has said that as long as you can reach the Spiritual Vulture Mountain, you will recover the forty feet golden body of your previous life. At that time, the power of the Western Paradise will increase again. This is something that many factions are unwilling to see and will definitely use various methods to stop you. You must be mentally prepared!”
Tang Sanzang nodded somewhat gloomily and scolded,""Damn it, I wonder who spread this news to the world!”
Great Immortal Zhenyuan smiled." Of course they are. However, you don't have to worry too much. After all, they don't seem to be against the Western Heaven on the surface. At most, they can only attack in secret. Your disciples have remarkable abilities. As long as they work together, it shouldn't be a problem for them to reach the Spiritual Vulture Mountain in the Western Heaven.”
Tang Sanzang nodded thoughtfully.
