Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 61 The Road to the Golden Toad
Emperor Zhenwu shook his head helplessly and said, "If he wants to leave, with his speed, who can stop him?"

……

It has been several months since the Battle of Huaguo Mountain ended.

The spectacular Battle of Flower-Fruit Mountain, which lasted for two years, ended in a ridiculous way.

This world is full of fighting and killing, but also of human relationships.

The last scene of the battle of Huaguo Mountain had a profound impact on Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen fell into deep thought.

He had a deeper understanding of this world. This was a world of cultivating immortals and high-level martial arts, where individual strength was far greater than collective cooperation.

And those trivial little calculations he had made before seemed to be of some use, but also seemed to have changed nothing.

You still have to be strong enough. All calculations, conspiracies and tricks are nothing in the face of absolute strength.

It is still too slow to practice diligently. The practice time of those immortals is at least tens of thousands of years.

Even many gods are innate gods, and their backgrounds are much stronger than his.

If he wants to become stronger quickly and be qualified to make moves and change the situation, he still has to rely on cheats.

As long as he is strong enough, he can change some things.

"Toad, what are you thinking about?"

Sun Wukong stretched out his furry hand and waved it in front of Xiao Chen.

"nothing."

Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at Sun Wukong in front of him.

In the end, after many twists and turns, in a strange way, Sun Wukong became the Monkey King in heaven. It is not known whether it was fate or the corrective power of this world.

"I, Old Sun, finally understand that there are always people better than you in this world."

"There is no strongest, only stronger!"

"This Heavenly Palace is not that simple. I, Old Sun, feel that the people who escaped that day are not easy to deal with. I am no match for them."

Sun Wukong said seriously.

After experiencing this incident, the monkey's personality became calmer and more humble, as if he had returned to the mentality he had when he was seeking the truth in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and he was no longer so arrogant.

"Hahaha, Toad, this is a good thing. Now that I know there are stronger people out there, I, Old Sun, will surpass them one day!"

Sun Wukong said with a solemn vow.

This monkey's fighting spirit has never changed.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with determination, and he said with a smile:

"Okay, Monkey, we brothers must become stronger together!"

At the same time, Xiao Chen secretly added in his heart:
"You have to be strong enough to change your destiny."

Xiao Chen chatted with Sun Wukong for a while, and then they said goodbye to each other.

Xiao Chen tapped the table and fell into deep thought.

"There are indeed many powerful magic weapons in this world that are enough to quickly and directly increase my strength."

"However, these magic weapons, along with the monsters, will only be released into the lower world one by one in the first ten years of the journey to the west."

"Right now, it's still early."

"The diamond cutter is as white as snow. It is also known as the diamond ring or the diamond set. This treasure has infinite changes, is invulnerable to water and fire, and has unparalleled power. It can collect magic weapons from all over the world, and its wonderful uses are beyond description."

"But now you are in the Tushita Palace, trying to steal the Vajra Cutter right under the nose of the Supreme Lord Lao?"

"Tai Shang Laojun?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen gave up the idea and shook his head:
"Then I, the Golden Horned King, might really be taken in by the Taishang Laojun and become a golden-horned boy who burns fire."

"Golden cymbals? This golden cymbal is really powerful. It can directly cover a person and turn him into blood. Even gods and immortals cannot escape."

"A human race bag? This thing is also amazing. Once the bag is opened, the twenty-eight constellations, the two generals of the tortoise and the snake, the five great dragons, Prince Xiao Zhang, and the four great generals can all be put into it."

"These two things are in Maitreya Buddha's possession, and Maitreya Buddha will not be able to deal with them either."

"Don't say anything. You, the golden toad, have a connection with my Buddha. Please let me save you."

"Purple gold bell? This thing is extremely powerful. Shake it lightly to create fire, shake it again to create smoke, and shake it a third time to cause flying sand and rocks, and the sky and the earth to change color."

"It should be with Guanyin Bodhisattva now."

"Golden bowl? This thing can directly subdue the six-eared macaque. It is also a powerful magic weapon."

"Now it is with the Tathagata Buddha."

"Taishang Laojun, Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tathagata Buddha..."

"Powerful magic weapons are all in the hands of powerful gods."

"As for synthesizing magic weapons, three H-level magic weapons can be synthesized into a G-level magic weapon, four G-level magic weapons can be synthesized into an F-level magic weapon, and five F-level magic weapons can be synthesized into an E-level magic weapon..."

"The higher the level of the equipment, the greater the cost of upgrading it."

"If you want to synthesize an A-level magic weapon, you already need nine B-level magic weapons."

"The main thing is that this thing has the same setting as many other games that cheat people out of their money. It's really a scam. When it comes to acquired spiritual treasures and above, there is a certain probability of failure in synthesis. The higher the level of the magic weapon, the greater the probability of failure!"

"We players have no idea about the probability of equipment being released!"

"Acquired spiritual treasures are already quite strong, and each has its own strengths. It takes nine golden hoop-level magic treasures to synthesize an innate spiritual treasure, the banana fan. The cost-effectiveness is too low, and I don't have many B-level magic treasures myself."

"I'll just give it a try. If I fail, I'll have nothing."

"It was fine to take the path of accumulating little by little in the early stage, but now the low-level magic weapons needed have increased exponentially. A B-level magic weapon costs hundreds of thousands, and an A-level magic weapon costs millions."

Xiao Chen shook his head, smiled bitterly, and felt overwhelmed.

"The Banana Fan. Although it is restrained by the Wind-Fixing Pill, it is also very powerful." Speaking of the Banana Fan, he originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of breaking off the engagement with the Bull Demon King to see if there was any chance to get in touch with the Banana Fan.

Alas, later on, the Bull Demon King discussed the engagement matters directly with the Rakshasa Ghost King.

As a girl, it was not appropriate for the Rakshasa woman to discuss marriage in person, so she returned to her inner room.

He only saw the Rakshasa woman once, but Xiao Chen did not see the shadow of the banana fan.

I don’t know whether the Rakshasa woman hasn’t got the palm-leaf fan yet or she didn’t bring it with her.

As a man without money, it was not appropriate for me to barge into the inner chamber of the Rakshasa Ghost King and ask his unmarried sister-in-law: "Do you have a palm leaf fan? Lend it to me."

"However, the banana fan is within my grasp. It is only a matter of time before I get it."

Xiao Chen groaned and stroked his chin in thought.

"When the Rakshasa woman and the Bull Demon King got married, the banana fan naturally changed from the Rakshasa woman's pre-marital property to the Bull Demon King's post-marital public property."

"With the friendship between me and Bull Demon King, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow it for a look."

"Any other powerful magic weapon?"

Xiao Chen thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten this magic weapon?
There is an innate spiritual treasure of the best grade, which is very powerful. Compared with magic treasures such as the banana fan and the purple gold bell, it is stronger, not weaker.

But its owner is actually not that strong.

Precious Lotus Lantern, Yang Chan.

"First, if I can copy a magical weapon of the level of the Precious Lotus Lantern, my own cultivation and strength will immediately advance by leaps and bounds, and I won't be afraid of masters of the level of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian."

"Secondly, when I was at Lingtai Mountain, Master Subhuti instructed me that if one day Sun Wukong's six senses were cut off, he would lose his mind and his original nature, and we would need the Precious Lotus Lantern to protect Sun Wukong's soul."

"I promised Master Subhuti that I would do my best to achieve it."

"So, I must get this Precious Lotus Lantern. Whether it's to enhance my strength or to use it at a critical moment."

Xiao Chen knocked on the table and made a decision.

My original form is the golden toad, which is a beast of good fortune and represents wealth and fortune.

Since you have many treasures, it makes sense for you to become a "Golden Toad with Many Treasures", right?

Your journey to becoming the "Duobao Golden Toad" begins with copying the Precious Lotus Lantern.

"How do I get the Lotus Lantern?"

"steal?"

"Rob?"

"coax?"

"cheat?"

"borrow?"

“Which method?
Xiao Chen was overwhelmed.

To be honest, he was not good at dealing with women.

However, he does have a skilled person under his command, the fish monster Qingmian.

That time, he and Qingmian went to catch the female green fish monster. Qingmian's sweet words tricked the female green fish monster into obedience, which surprised him and made him deeply admire her.

Now this green-faced fish demon has three wives and four concubines. He is very happy and has given birth to a lot of demon sons and grandsons.

Soon, Xiao Chen's dog-headed military advisor, the fish monster Qingmian, was summoned.

"Your Majesty!"

He bowed with a green face and saluted.

"Come on, Qingmian, sit down and talk."

Xiao Chen patted Qingmian's shoulder and said with a smile.

Qingmian was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "My lord, I dare not, I dare not."

"Today, I summoned you here because the king has something to ask you?"

Xiao Chen paused and spoke.

"Your Majesty, would you like to ask me for advice?"

Qingmian was a little confused.

"Your king has taken a fancy to a treasure. It is in the hands of a fairy. I want to borrow it from her to play with it, but I am afraid she will not agree?"

"What's your plan?"

Xiao Chen organized his words and asked his dog-headed military advisor.

"borrow?"

"Why would you need to borrow the treasure that the king likes?"

"We are monsters!"

"Just grab it!"

"I, Qingmian, am willing to lead three thousand demon soldiers to tie up the fairy and present her and the treasure to the king!"

Seeing Xiao Chen hesitate, Qingmian clasped his fists and volunteered.

"My king, don't worry that the news of you bullying women will spread and ruin your reputation."

"I, Qingmian, will say that this was all my own idea and has nothing to do with you, the king."

Thinking that Xiao Chen was too embarrassed to take action, Qingmian rolled his eyes, smiled knowingly, and guaranteed solemnly.
