The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 1: Crossing the Sea to Seek Immortals
Huaguoshan, Shuiliandong.

All the monkeys gathered together to celebrate the Monkey King's return from his journey to the West.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! After enduring so many hardships, you have finally become the Fighting and Victorious Buddha!"

"Your Majesty, we have also benefited from your grace and will now enjoy eternal bliss and freedom!"

"My king, no one will bully us in Huaguo Mountain anymore, right?"

A group of monkeys, led by the four old monkeys, surrounded Sun Wukong, chatting with each other, creating a lively scene.

"Hey, hey, I'm free, I'm free!"

"Bullying us? I, Old Sun, want to see who dares to offend Huaguo Mountain again."

Surrounded by other monkeys, Sun Wukong climbed onto the throne in the Water Curtain Cave with laughter.

He was not wearing the cassock that shone with Buddha's light, but he was still wearing the purple gold crown, golden armor, and cloud-walking shoes, looking extraordinary and powerful.

Afterwards, the little monkeys brought the fairy flowers, fairy fruits and monkey wine from the mountain to the Water Curtain Cave, and the monkeys celebrated wildly.

Sun Wukong's face was full of smiles. Seeing this happy scene, he was very happy.

But for some reason, he always felt that the excitement was gradually moving away from him, even though he was in the middle of it.

It was as if he had been away from the group for too long and couldn't fit in anymore.

A feeling of indifference grew in his heart.

"How strange!" Sun Wukong shook his head.

At this moment, a voice sounded in his mind:
【Congratulations on obtaining the perfect life system】

[This system will create a perfect life for you. Would you like to start your life journey?]

"Who?!"

Divine light gathered in Sun Wukong's eyes, and his flaming eyes quickly saw everywhere, but he did not find anything unusual.

Immediately afterwards, pieces of information appeared out of nowhere in his sea of consciousness, allowing him to understand everything.

"Complete the various tasks assigned by the system and get corresponding rewards?"

"The higher the mission rating, the better the reward?"

"Hehe, interesting, interesting."

Sun Wukong scratched his face.

He felt that it was because he had lost the challenge and pursuit after the journey to the west that he felt the indifferent and isolated mood he had just experienced.

Now that we have such a new gadget, we might as well play with it and maybe we can regain the lost passion.

"But, can you create a perfect life for me?" Sun Wukong was a little confused again.

He has had his ups and downs in life.

The Monkey King lived for three hundred years and searched for immortals for decades. He became a disciple of Fangcun Mountain, broke into the Dragon Palace, made trouble in the underworld, fought against heavenly soldiers and generals, and was named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

Then he caused havoc in Heaven, was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, went to the West to obtain the true scriptures, traveled 18,000 miles, and finally became the Fighting Buddha.

Isn’t such a life perfect?
Sun Wukong scratched his hands, his bright eyes turned, and he silently said in his heart: "Begin!"

Congratulations, you have started your journey to a perfect life.

Today is your 314th birthday. A monkey died before you. Although you are used to seeing life and death, this time you are particularly sad. At the suggestion of the old ape Tongbei, you have the idea of traveling to the immortal mountains overseas to learn the art of immortality.

[Obtain the mission: Cross the sea to find immortals, you need to find an overseas immortal mountain]

"314 years old?" Sun Wukong was immediately happy when he heard these voices.

Calculating his age, he is now over 1,200 years old.

The key point is that he has already been immortal and has lived as long as the sky, but the system still asks him to cross the sea to find immortals?
But if he thought about it carefully, the reason why he wanted to cross the sea to find immortals was because on his birthday, a monkey died of old age in front of him, which made him deeply moved.

"So, this system is nearly a thousand years late?"

"What kind of system is this? Does it want me to go to the Dragon Palace, cause chaos in the underworld, or even make havoc in the Heavenly Palace again, and finally follow that old monk to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

Sun Wukong's lively eyes rolled around, and he finally smiled: "I just happen to have nothing to do, so why not take another walk!"

He wanted to see what kind of perfect life this system would create for him.

He did what he said, and then he said something to the monkeys who were playing around, and in a flash he left the Water Curtain Cave.

Standing on the shore of the East China Sea, Sun Wukong recalled the scenes of himself paddling a raft into the vast East China Sea and fighting against the storm and huge waves.

He drifted in the sea for seven years and finally arrived at Jambudvīpa.

Then he traveled around the world, passing through states and counties, learning the etiquette and language of the world.

It took more than eight or nine years of travel before they reached the West Sea. After drifting for another two or three years, they finally arrived at Xiniu Hezhou.

Finally, he went up Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, entered Xieyue Sanxing Cave, and worshipped Bodhi Patriarch, who taught him the method of immortality.

Thinking of the past, Sun Wukong felt a little nostalgic for a moment, but soon the thought disappeared.

He looked at the vast ocean and smiled, "Now, there is no need to waste all this effort." Then, he twisted his fingers, chanted the mantra, jumped up, and the somersault cloud was unleashed.

This somersault is 18,000 miles, and it takes less than an hour to get from Huaguo Mountain to Xiniuhezhou.

Across the West Sea, you can see a beautiful mountain in the distance, hidden among the clouds and mist. It is truly a fairyland!

This is the first time Sun Wukong has returned since leaving Fangcun Mountain.

At this moment, he actually felt a sense of homesickness, and the past events were even more vivid in his mind: receiving a surname and a given name, searching for a master in the middle of the night...

"Master warned me that I would have a bad life if I went there, and told me not to tell anyone that I was his disciple. If I uttered even a word, he would peel off my skin and crush my bones, and banish my soul to the underworld, where I would never be able to rise again."

"I think he was just trying to bluff me."

Because after he left Fangcun Mountain, he had told others about his experience of becoming a disciple many times.

The first time was when he just returned to Huaguo Mountain. After he killed the Demon King of the Dirty Water Cave, he boasted to the monkeys that he met an old ancestor in Xiniu Hezhou and learned the secret of immortality.

Although the name of the ancestor was not mentioned at that time, it was pointed out that it was the ancestor in Xiniu Hezhou.

The second time was at Black Wind Mountain, where he showed off to the Black Bear Demon and mentioned that he had taken an old immortal as his master at Lingtai Mountain.

This obviously exposes the specific location of the ancestor.

The third time was also on the journey to obtain the scriptures. When he was subduing the python spirit for Tuo Luo Village, he told an old man in the village about his master in full.

It was precisely because he worshipped the Lingtai Fangcun ancestor that he learned a complete range of martial arts.

But on these three occasions, the ancestor did not punish me!
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong muttered, "I've caused trouble and suffered a lot, but now I'm a Buddha in Lingshan, and my old friends are all over the three realms and four continents. It's not a disgrace to my master. Master, you won't refuse to see me, right?"

"Of course, Master has never come to teach me a lesson. This may also mean that I haven't done anything bad over the years, hehe..."

Then, with respect for his master, he pressed down the clouds and climbed the mountain on foot.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded again:

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Crossing the Sea to Seek Immortals. Do you want to proceed with the mission settlement?]

"Yes!"

[Task summary: Your luck is so good that you discovered an overseas fairy mountain by chance.

As a Monkey King who has not yet embarked on spiritual practice, you can ignore the raging waves of the sea and bravely embark on the path to seek immortality. This courage is commendable.

But at the same time, because you were traveling too fast, you missed out on some necessary training, and the southeast wind blew you away.]

"Haha... It seems that this system is really brainless, even dumber than that idiot." Sun Wukong laughed again.

Looking across the three realms and four continents, from the nine heavens to the nine underworlds, who doesn’t know his name, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?

This system still says that he has not yet started practicing?
However, after seeing the summary at the end, Sun Wukong put away his smile and his bright eyes rolled around.

"Blown away by a southeast wind?"

Looking back, he did encounter a southeast wind at sea that year.

The wind blew for a long time and carried him to the Southern Continent.

I didn’t think much of it at the time and never thought much about it. I just thought it was luck.

But now looking at the meaning of this task summary, it seems that the southeast wind is directed at him.

"Well, where does this wind come from?" Sun Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully, but his eyes looked into the depths of Fangcun Mountain.

At this time, the system sound continued.

[Task Rating: Excellent (depending on the completion of the task, the rating is divided into perfect, excellent, good, average, and poor)]

[Quest Reward: Max-level Somersault Experience, Water Control (Divine Power)]

Immediately afterwards, a piece of experience and a secret of magical power flooded into his sea of consciousness.

[The experience of reaching the highest level of somersault: being able to do 108 somersaults in a row without taking a breath]

[Water Control: Small ones can breathe and move freely in water; large ones can control all water.]

"Not bad, not bad." Sun Wukong smiled happily, "I've never been good at water battles, but now that I have this magical power, I've made up for my shortcomings!"

As for his experience in somersaults, it was truly a joke. The Monkey King could do ten thousand somersaults without even taking a breath.

Afterwards, he ignored the system, looked at the familiar Fangcun Mountain, and prepared to climb the stairs.

But suddenly, the system prompted again.

You were climbing the mountain in search of the immortals and met a singing woodcutter. You thought he must be a hermit and a wise man, and perhaps he knew where the immortals were.

[Obtain the task: The woodcutter shows the way. You need to ask the woodcutter where the immortals live.]

"This stupid system! How dare you make fun of me?!" Sun Wukong was angry.

Hundreds of years have passed. Where can he find the woodcutter who chopped wood back then?
