I Told You to Worship Buddha, So Why Are You Worshipping the Victorious Fighting Buddha?

Carve divine statues, offer them worship, receive their blessings, and set foot on the path of martial arts.

After transmigrating into the world, Zheng Yang arrives at Kongyun Temple and carves a statue of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, only to be mocked by his peers.

How can carving a monkey count as making a Buddha statue?

The monks have no idea that, thanks to the statue of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Zheng Yang has obtained the Great Product Celestial Immortal Art, the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, and the Somersault Cloud.

And that's not all. Brother Monkey even goes out of his way to give Zheng Yang private lessons!

Years later, the world falls into chaos, and the Evil Dragon Cavalry storms through the temple gates.

The oppressive might of an evil god envelops all of Kongyun Temple.

Even the temple's strongest monk, the venerable sweeper, is gravely wounded and cannot fight back.

The monks despair, but Zheng Yang calmly steps forward.

“Someone once asked me, ‘How can worshipping a monkey count as worshipping Buddha?’”

“Today, I'll tell you: the Buddha I worship is the Victorious Fighting Buddha!”

The statue of the Victorious Fighting Buddha slowly opens its eyes. A golden cudgel descends from the heavens and lands in Zheng Yang's hand.

“Forgot to tell you: before Brother Monkey became a Buddha, he had another name. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven!”
