"Nine Curves Yellow River Formation?"

The Golden Monkey fell from the Bodhi Tree and said, "I've heard of this Array. It is a fierce Array from the Shangqing Spirit Treasure lineage. It is said that during the Divine Enthronement, this formation wiped out the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu Palace, rendering their cultivation entirely lost. One of the Golden Immortals even fell in Realm due to his inability to quickly recover his foundation after this calamity, and could no longer advance."

"That Golden Immortal should be the Yellow Dragon Immortal," the Awakened remarked. "Among the Twelve Golden Immortals venerated in Yuxu Temple, there was originally the name of Yellow Dragon Immortal. However, because his Dao Fruit was merely fourth-rank, unable to form a lineage, he was later replaced by Yun Zhongzi for the Immortal's title."

The Buddha Country itself inherited a relatively complete Buddhist Daoist inheritance and has been in contact with Yuxu Temple for countless years. The Awakened even personally transformed the Dao Fruit of the Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun from Yuxu Temple into the Manjusri Bodhisattva Dao Fruit.

Regarding Yuxu Temple's secrets, he may know more than some disciples of Yuxu Temple.

This vivid example also informed Hui Neng, who came to report, about the formidable power of the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.

If Yellow Dragon Immortal hadn't experienced the calamities within the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, the Dao Fruit he left might have been third grade. In other words, this formation has the ability to threaten the third-grade level.

Though in the Five Turbid Evil World, the power of formations is not what it was before the End of Dharma, even sustaining them is a significant challenge, yet since the opponent already intends to set it, they must have a method to solve the difficulties.

And the current third-grade is not like those strong ones who left behind a Third Grade Dao Fruit. Or rather, even if those strong ones came to this Five Turbid Evil World, they may not be able to fully exert their peak power.

It has all been weakened, equivalent to none being weakened.

"So it's true," Sun Wukong said with a light click of his tongue, "I used to think it was just a rumor."

After all, his era was quite some time after the Divine Enthronement. Though he had interacted with Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch, he only knew what was evident and on the surface.

As for Yellow Dragon Immortal struggling due to not recovering his foundation promptly, even if that Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch knew, he would never speak of it. Would he have Yang Jian declare that Yellow Dragon Immortal didn't understand his master's intentions and thus couldn't recover in time?

Such matters could only be pieced together by later generations based on clues long after the involved parties had passed.

But at the time, it was absolutely impossible to speak of it openly.

"This, even the Mazer cannot assert with certainty."

The Awakened, however, possessed the integrity not to claim it as truth, as his eyes shimmered faintly, saying, "The Nine Curves Yellow River Formation is extremely perilous, Great Saint, please make a trip."

"Just so, I'm eager to verify if this fierce formation is truly as severe."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong was unafraid of the dangerous fame of the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation. With a single response, he somersaulted into the air on his Somersault Cloud, becoming just a small shadow and vanishing into the horizon.

After his departure, the starlight in the Awakened's eyes grew even more intense, marking the implementation of the future Star Constellation Tribulation Method.

The Buddha Country's previous generations of Chiefs focused on the cultivation of the past, present, and future three great Tribulation Methods to protect the Buddha Country and guide the monks. Among these, the future Star Constellation Tribulation Method projects future developments to ensure blameless paths and assess life charts.

The current Chief, despite being renowned worldwide for the "Seven Buddhas' Sin Extinguishing Mantra," is not at all lacking in his grasp of the three major Tribulation Methods, arguably the greatest among all generations of Chiefs.

Even within the Buddha Country, not every Chief could encapsulate the Awakener Dao Fruit, let alone advance to the level of the Supreme.

The concept of Supreme only emerged gradually in recent centuries, not from antiquity.

At this moment, the Awakened was employing the future Star Constellation Tribulation Method to fathom cause and effect, project future paths, and confront the enemy who had already set in motion.

With starlight reflecting, countless stars resembling the Number of Sands displayed in the Awakened's gaze, each star representing an individual's Life Chart.

Observing the stars' trajectories, correlating people's causes and effects, with such a source insight, the Buddha Country's mountains and rivers flashed through his perception, quickly fixating on the raging rapids.

Initially, it was at the borders of the Buddha Country, the lands of the White Mountain and Black Water.

In the turbulent river waters, a dam was rapidly forming.

Yellowish soil expanded swiftly like mist, continuously growing, cutting off the river.

Regardless of the Black Water River's turbulence and the force of the water, it could not break through the yellow soil dam, nor even flood over it. The higher the water, the higher the yellow soil dam rose, the multiplying soil forcefully blocked the flow, even reversing it, blocking the river back.

Simultaneously, on both banks, yellow soil stretched out, encircling and obstructing the rising waters, forcing the Black Water River to change its course.

"Resting Soil..."

The Awakened realized what he was witnessing, immediately deciphering the handiwork at play.

More stardust swirled in his eyes as he continued to perceive and saw the Black Water River rerouting to flow within the Buddha Country. The earth cracked open, creating new waterways, soon flooded by rushing torrents.

Along the way, the watercourse overflowed occasionally, devouring nearby towns and villages. Within the waters, a colossal demon monster shadow swam, driving the angry tides.

As the Awakened sought to delve into the demon monster's true form, the starlight ahead suddenly scattered chaotically.

Vaguely, countless roars and sinister cries arose, shadows of demons flickered incessantly. Ultimately, a massive dragon shadow emerged from below the Star Sea, its bristling Dragon Horn dispersing the star trails. Eyes like sun and moon peered down, scrutinizing the Awakened.

"This Venerable warned you not to meddle in Jiang Li's affairs."

The red Candle Dragon forcibly intervened in the Awakened's future Star Constellation Tribulation Method, manifesting within his perception. The dragon's immense body, partially revealed, was sufficient to cover Mount Lingtai.

Its imposing aura akin to Heavenly Might gave the impression that this Candle Dragon wasn't illusory but genuinely present in reality.

"Feng Tanyue once instructed the Mazer to warn him against converting Jiang Tanyue into the Buddhist walker, and indeed, as per Tanyue's instructions, the Mazer did not bring Jiang Tanyue under the fold."

The Awakened, facing the Candle Dragon, showed no sign of panic, speaking calmly, "In fact, the Mazer even assisted Feng Tanyue by helping Jiang Tanyue ascend to Emperor Yan."

Back at Fengming Mountain, when the Awakened first met Jiang Li, he gifted him the Six-character Great Bright Mantra.

At that time, after Jiang Li left, Feng Manlou appeared to warn the Awakened.

The Awakened claimed Feng Manlou intended for Jiang Li's future ascension to Emperor Yan, to which Feng Manlou tacitly agreed.

He had to agree, after all, he couldn't possibly say he wanted Jiang Li to ascend as Emperor. Allowing the Awakened's incorrect assumption to stand was preferable.

Unexpectedly, now the Awakened used Feng Manlou's previous silence to respond to the Great Venerable's angry accusations.

But the Great Venerable wasn't easily refuted by these words.

"This Venerable doesn't believe you cannot discern this Venerable's real intentions, Awakened. Are you seeking to oppose this Venerable?" The Candle Dragon's voice resonated through the Star Sea, its domineering intent striking at the Awakened's mind.

However, with a heart like Vajra, the Awakened remained unshaken, enduring the Divine Intent's assault, nonchalantly saying, "Great Venerable, when did you become deluded that the Mazer would not oppose you?"

"In past times, Karma Tathagata escaped unscathed because you used the Cosmic Light Divine Ability to block the Mazer for a mere moment. Days ago, it was also due to your assistance that the Mazer emerged from retreat. Today, the Mazer's actions merely conclude past causes and effects with the Great Venerable."

His tone mild, yet his resolute determination was self-evident.

Even against multiple Supremes, the Awakened showed no wavering.

"Is that so?"

The Candle Dragon responded unemotionally, uttering just this.

Then—

An abrupt anomaly emerged.
