Rewriting the Gods

"I, Old Sun, am finally out!"

Joyful sounds resounded through the sky, and a vast and powerful force, like a roaring mountain and a surging sea, suddenly erupted, shaking the void.

The stagnant magical power within the monkey's body was unsealed, and without suppression, the vast magical power flowed within its body like a mighty river.

Golden light emanated from his physical body, and his powerful strength revived. His primordial spirit was no longer suppressed, and the surrounding mountains and rivers instantly appeared in the monkey's mind.

A powerful aura, comparable to that of a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal, swept out, instantly changing the color of the heavens and earth, and its formidable power shook the void.

Faced with this oppressive force, the void trembled, and the surrounding mountains and rivers churned, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

Just then, an invisible force suddenly appeared, and a faint golden light appeared in the void, covering the surrounding mountains and rivers. Although this golden light was only a thin layer and looked somewhat illusory, it felt as heavy as mountains to the monkey.

Wherever the golden light passed, the mountains and rivers instantly stabilized, and the monkey's aura could no longer shake the surroundings in the slightest.

Huh?
The monkey, who was about to withdraw its oppressive aura, was stunned. Looking at the thin yet powerful golden light, a hint of curiosity appeared in its eyes. What was this?
The next moment, two mysterious golden runes appeared in the monkey's eyes, and his eyes instantly turned into a dazzling gold. It was the monkey's innate supernatural power - the Golden Eyes of Illusion!
As the monkey activated his supernatural power, the scene before him instantly changed. Previously, the golden light was only within a hundred miles around, floating above the mountains and rivers.

But only then did the monkey, activating its supernatural powers, realize that the source of the golden light was underground. The surrounding mountains, rivers, and the earth itself contained a dazzling golden light, and the golden light protecting the surrounding mountains and rivers was emanating from within them.

This applies not only to the area within a hundred miles of oneself, but also to much further away, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of miles, and even further!

Looking around, the mountains and rivers are filled with dazzling golden light!

"What is this?" The monkey's eyes showed surprise. The golden light covered such a wide area that it was definitely not meant to suppress him, but rather that this golden light had always existed in this land.

But what is this? I used the Golden Eye of Truth in Flower Fruit Mountain before, and it didn't look like this.

The monkey turned its head to look in all directions and suddenly noticed that in the distance, the golden light seemed to be gathering, but it was hazy and unclear.

With a thought, the golden runes beneath the monkey's eyes instantly lit up with dazzling golden light, spinning rapidly in the monkey's eyes. The monkey pushed his piercing golden pupils to their limit.

At this moment, in the monkey's eyes, the world changed once again. Beneath the dazzling golden light, there were countless golden patterns, intertwined like a dense net covering the entire earth.

No, it's not just on the earth; these dense golden patterns also exist in the void, enveloping the entire world.

The monkey's eyes widened in surprise. What was this thing? Why had it never seen it before?

Before the monkey could come up with an answer, it saw a dense mass of golden light gathering together in the distance, forming a dazzling golden ball of light, and above the golden light, a huge bronze cauldron stood in the void.

The giant cauldron stood in the void, like an ancient divine mountain that stood tall and firm, completely suppressing the entire world. Even with the monkey's current abilities, he still felt an irresistible pressure. If this giant cauldron were to press down on him, he would surely die!
This is something that the Jade Emperor's peaches cannot compare to.

The thought subconsciously popped into the monkey's mind.

The monkey stared intently at the large cauldron, which was engraved with various cloud patterns. On the front were two large characters that the monkey had never seen before, but it inexplicably recognized them as Jizhou!
Jizhou?
Jizhou Ding!

Moreover, in the distance, the monkey could vaguely see several large cauldrons standing in the void, suppressing the mountains and rivers. Looking around, there were a total of nine large cauldrons suppressing the mountains and rivers, making them as solid as a rock, and even he could not shake them in the slightest!
What a baby!

The monkey stared intently at the nine great cauldrons, especially the Jizhou Cauldron, which was closest to him. If he could control this treasure, he could fight against the Jade Emperor. Thinking of this, the monkey's eyes burned even brighter, and he wanted to possess the treasure for himself.

"As the land of the human race, the Southern Continent has the Nine Cauldrons suppressing the universe and its mountains and rivers, making the universe extremely stable. Even if you have the power to turn the world upside down in the outside world, it would be difficult to even break a small mountain here."

"Unless you can break through the limitations of the Nine Cauldrons."

The fat monk's voice rang in the monkey's ears, bringing the monkey back to its senses.

Hearing the fat monk's words, the monkey's eyes gleamed even brighter, and he muttered, "What a treasure! What a treasure!"

Seeing the monkey's burning gaze, the fat monk beside him was stunned. He looked at the monkey in front of him in disbelief. This monkey was too ambitious. He was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, yet he dared to covet the Nine Cauldrons of the human race.

Bodhi Patriarch wanted it to be fearless, but he never told it how high the sky was or how thick the earth was. In addition, it did not need to deal with beings above the Great Luo Golden Immortal when it came out of the mountain, which allowed it to develop this fearless nature.

Want to take the Nine Cauldrons away?

Even a dignified Quasi-Saint peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal wouldn't dare to think like that, but a Taiyi Golden Immortal really has a lot of guts!

That being said, we can't just ignore it. Right now, we still need this monkey to escort Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to obtain the true scriptures. We can't just let it foolishly go and steal the Nine Cauldrons from the human race.

Even two sages wouldn't dare do this; if it dared, it would be certain to die a gruesome death. "Monkey King, don't even think about the Nine Cauldrons. Those Nine Cauldrons are treasures of human destiny, formed by the convergence of human destiny. Without human destiny, even with extraordinary abilities, one cannot move these Nine Cauldrons."

"The Monkey King isn't even a human, so how could he possibly control the Nine Cauldrons?"

The monkey was taken aback. "Do I need to be human to get this cauldron?"

The fat monk nodded upon hearing this, "That's natural. These nine cauldrons were forged and nurtured by the human race. They are the most precious treasures of human destiny, and only humans can drive them."

"pity."

Upon hearing this, the monkey's eyes were filled with regret. Such a wonderful treasure was right in front of him, yet he couldn't use it.

The monkey had no idea that the treasure was not its own. Since its birth, whether on Flower Fruit Mountain or Fangcun Mountain, the monkey had never learned human ethics or the principles of good and evil, and acted entirely according to its nature.

In the monkey's eyes, these nine tripods were just like the golden cudgel of the past, and should be his treasures.

Unfortunately, I can't use it myself.

Seeing the monkey's regretful expression, the fat monk couldn't hold back any longer. Back then, the two teachers had considered each other's abilities when begging for alms, but this monkey didn't seem to care about the difference in strength between himself and the other party.

Enough, enough, let him go on his westward journey.

After this incident, the fat monk lost interest in continuing the conversation.

At that moment, golden light flashed around him, and the yellow monk's robe he was wearing transformed into a dazzling golden kasaya. A twelve-petaled lotus platform appeared beneath the fat monk, and rays of golden light condensed into auspicious golden clouds, gathering around the monk.

The fat monk who released the monkey is none other than the current head of Buddhism—Maitreya Buddha!
The monkey, who was feeling regretful, was suddenly startled and jumped back, its eyes showing surprise as it looked at the Maitreya Buddha in front of it with suspicion.

Before the monkey could speak, Maitreya Buddha chuckled and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk Maitreya is the master of the Western Vulture Peak Buddhist sect, the most revered of all Buddhas!"

"Just now, you and I made a covenant with the Heavenly Dao, and this humble monk has already released you as promised. Now it's your turn."

"This humble monk asks you to go to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the East, to find a monk named Tang Sanzang and escort him to the Western Paradise to seek the true scriptures. Along the way, you will have to overcome eighty-one tribulations before you can achieve enlightenment."

"When the true scriptures are spread to the East, benefiting all living beings, you will also have great merit and be able to attain the Buddhahood."

"If you refuse, heavenly lightning will strike and turn you to ashes."

"The journey to the West is arduous. I promise you that your cries for help will be answered by the heavens and the earth outside Jambudvipa. Throughout the entire journey to the West, no immortal or deity whose cultivation is higher than yours will intervene."

"Go now, this humble monk will be waiting for you at Mount Ling!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Maitreya Buddha transformed into a golden ray of light and disappeared into the sky, leaving only the monkey standing there.

The monkey stared blankly at the empty space for a long time, pondering its next move. However, the moment the thought of leaving directly and returning to Flower Fruit Mountain crossed its mind, a sense of impending doom washed over the monkey, startling it into stopping its thoughts instantly.

It seems that this journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is definitely necessary.

Fine, then I'll go to Chang'an. Eighty-one tribulations—I'd like to see just how difficult they are.

Those whose cultivation surpasses mine cannot make a move; then, who in the world can stop me?

The Southern Continent, the territory of the human race. Speaking of which, Xiang Yu seems to be a human as well. Recalling that domineering figure, a deep sense of dread appeared in the monkey's eyes.

His skills must surpass mine, Old Sun's, right? He's so powerful, he definitely is.

If he doesn't surpass me, how could I, Old Sun, not be his match?

Yes, it definitely exceeded that.

The monkey thought to itself with certainty.

Having settled his thoughts, the monkey immediately mounted his somersault cloud and headed towards populated areas, intending to first visit Chang'an City and see the pilgrim on his journey to the West! (End of Chapter)
