Hao Tian is the protégé of the Daoist Ancestor, acquiring eighty percent of his abilities from the Daoist Ancestor. Yin Shi Wang is his Yorisha spirit, quite similar to him.
The seal in question is an authentic Mystic Sect mechanism. Nezha, having learned from Nuwa, is also a top disciple of the Mystic Sect, but he still cannot break this seal through normal means.
No matter how accomplished, a top student can't know their classmate's bank account password!
The only option left is to use unconventional means; the simplest way is brute force destruction.
Hao Tian could definitely manage it, but Xuanzang, being a mortal, made the rescue more challenging.
Ultimately, Nezha resorted to using the Kunlun Mirror to open a passageway through the seal, rescuing those inside.
Hao Tian observed Nezha's techniques for a bit but didn't quite grasp it. Xuanzang and the others didn't linger, swiftly exiting once free.
Hao Tian hesitated before leaving, choosing instead to leave behind a doppelganger with his own blood.
Yin Shi Wang harbors intentions towards him, and he has quite a few thoughts about Yin Shi Wang.
Regardless, Xuanzang was rescued, and the Jade Emperor was saved as well, much to everyone's joy.
All Gods warmly welcomed their Majesty back, while Sun Wukong continued westward with Xuanzang.
Sun Wukong enjoyed the Chaos Battlefield, where he could fight and unleash himself freely, but he couldn't abandon his master and fellow disciples.
Awaiting the master and disciples were the eight hundred miles of Shituo Ridge, where the Three Demons of Manjusri and Puxian's Green Lion and White Elephant, as well as Kong Xuan's younger brother Roc, stood guard.
Jin Can Zi and Red Boy left Lingshan in succession, leaving only Roc behind, feeling considerably lonely.
Reincarnated, Roc had none of his previous memories, essentially a brand new being.
He lived well in Lingshan, except for occasional bullying by his elder sister, he had everything he wanted, and Old Li treated him like family; with a top-tier martial sister, no one dared provoke him.
Yet, what he took the most pride in was claiming to outsiders that he was the brother-in-law of the Great Strength Venerate King Buddha.
He always suspected an unusual relationship between his elder sister and Nezha, though he had no proof.
Around his elder sister, he dared not show it, but outside, he acted very cocky, considering Nezha the strongest!
If his fierce elder sister could be subdued, who else could be the strongest if not Nezha?
Gradually, the title of the Buddha's brother-in-law became quite renowned in Lingshan; those who knew treated it as a joke, but those who didn't truly believed he was Lady Yin's brother!
This wasn't something you could directly ask; would you really approach a leader's family member to confirm such a thing?
The leader never admitted it, but neither did he deny it!
Leveraging this reputation, Roc flaunted himself in Lingshan; Kong Xuan was cold to outsiders and likely never heard about it.
Old Li and the others simply didn't care, dismissing it as a child's mischief.
With Jin Can Zi and Red Boy, Roc lost his playmates in Lingshan, especially missing Red Boy. Staying there no longer intrigued him.
He hadn't forgotten the humiliation of being beaten to tears by Jin Can Zi back with Red Boy, so he teamed up with Green Lion and White Elephant to establish Shituo Country.
Green Lion and White Elephant, originally Qiu Shou Immortal and Lingya Immortal, now someone's mounts, their Divine Spirits incomplete, their cultivation regressed to Taiyi Golden Immortals. Roc, though young in cultivation, had plenty of good things, now reaching True Immortal status.
The Green Lion and White Elephant, despite their decline, remained beasts once under Saint Tongtian, hence the three swore brotherhood with Roc as the youngest, Green Lion as the eldest, and White Elephant second.
The trio took the opportunity to relax; Roc came out seeking revenge and stirring trouble with Xuanzang, none truly wishing to eat Xuanzang.
Just a little Longevity?
Who do you think you're dismissing?
The three gathered a crew of little demons, claiming a mountain kingdom. To incite terror and display his might, Roc deployed nine Mirage Pearls, turning Shituo Ridge into a hellscape post-incident.
This might resemble a child getting their first room, eager to change its style.
The nine Mirage Pearls were originally Nezha's playthings used for marbles.
Perhaps Roc's taste was too peculiar, or maybe Shituo Country's décor was indeed terrifying, as tales of its trepidation spread.
Rumors first spoke of Great Demons devouring people daily.
Soon, tales twisted, saying three Great Demon Kings devoured a thousand people daily.
Eventually, it became a tale of fifty thousand little demons devouring ten thousand people daily through cooking and frying.
At last, it was said a country stood there, eventually occupied by the Three Demons, consuming every inhabitant, turning it into a demon realm.
The Green Lion and White Elephant didn't mind, for they once ate humans like rabbits or deer.
Roc didn't mind either, loving the cool aspect.
This is the reputation a Great Demon should hold!
Traveling toward Shituo, Xuanzang and his disciples heard the rumor's final version from the Earth God.
Xuanzang felt fear; if ordinary people were eaten, how could Tang Seng's flesh escape?
Proceeded further, they encountered an old man awaiting them, none else but Gold Star Taibai.
Donning the title of Western Patrol Envoy, he passed by to play an extra role.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie attempted to probe; disguised as an old man, Gold Star Taibai embellished the terror of Shituo Ridge.
After all, the script couldn't afford to be dull.
Having recently faced the Chaos Battlefield, Sun Wukong feared not; witnessing Chaos Creatures, he knew Primordials lacked imagination.
Yet, Zhu Bajie was thoroughly frightened, concerned about truly being eaten.
To reassure Xuanzang, Sun Wukong volunteered to scout, encountering a demon with a small flag shortly after entering.
It was none other than Garlic-head Little Drilling Wind.
Sun Wukong managed to trick Little Drilling Wind, who divulged even the underwear colors of his three Great Kings and offered up five taels of Silver.
No matter the era, beware of deceit!
After deceiving him, Sun Wukong finished Little Drilling Wind with a strike, taking not just money and intel, but his life.
Regarding the Three Demon Kings of Shituo Ridge, Green Lion and White Elephant hardly concerned him, but hearing of the third King's Yin Yang Treasure Bottle intrigued him.
Experience taught him the hard way that demons with treasures were tough foes.
Instead of leaving, he transformed into Little Drilling Wind, returned to the demon crew, scaring thousands of little demons away.
Mostly, the little demons were too weak; Sun Wukong lacked any will to fight, unlike the thrilling battles with Chaos Creatures.
Chasing away the little demons, Sun Wukong arrived directly at the lair of Green Lion and White Elephant.
Rumor had it that skeletons and bones carpeted the inside, human skins ground to dust, sinews bound trees, bodies heaped into a Blood Sea, emitting a stench, little demons skinning on the east and cooking on the west - a living Human Purgatory.
Currently, it was nothing like that; the lair was neat, orderly, and tastefully decorated. Sun Wukong, momentarily dazed, thought he had arrived at the Black Bear Spirit's place.
Green Lion and White Elephant, who followed the Tongtian Sect Master, maintained high standards, unconcerned with the outside, preferring total comfort inside.
