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

Chapter 22 An unexpected person
After the stick fell, the system's voice also sounded.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Shock the Dragons. Do you want to proceed with the mission settlement?]

"Yes!" Sun Wukong said silently in his heart.

Mission Summary: This was a truly stunning display of power. Your attack completely captivated every dragon present. Some, fearful, dared not even betray a trace of hatred.

[Task Rating: Perfect]

[Quest Reward: 3 Fragments of the Law of Archery, Ao Shun's Long-cherished Wish]

"Hehe, it's okay to be afraid." Sun Wukong knew who held the hatred, it must be Ao Shun and his son.

But this was not a concern for him at all, so he didn't take it to heart.

The final reward of this mission was what surprised him the most.

Three more fragments of the rules of archery!

As the rewards were distributed, the fragments of the mysterious laws turned into a surging torrent, pouring into his sea of consciousness, significantly improving his grasp of the laws of archery.

Finally, he took the opportunity to check out "Ao Shun's Long-cherished Wish".

"He wanted to become the Dragon God and make the North Sea Dragon Clan the leader of all dragon clans, but he knew he couldn't do it, so he placed all his hopes on Ao Mo'ang..."

"There's a weakness? That's easy to deal with!" A divine light flashed in Sun Wukong's smart eyes.

At the same time, the horrifying noise had subsided, and everyone saw Ao Mo'ang, whose strength had been exhausted.

The newly appointed Dragon King of the West Sea was lying on the bottom of the sea, with a look of confusion on his face.

The Monkey King still had the same tall and mighty figure as before, holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang in one hand and Ao Shun in the other, looking down at his defeated opponent from above.

The originally turbulent sea water was now swirling around him, as if cheering and celebrating his victory.

At this moment, Ao Shun, who had been held in the hand of Sun Wukong, felt this scene the most deeply.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Moang was not dead. Besides shock and fear, the only thing left in his heart was confusion.

When he was traveling west in the past, the Monkey King he met was always friendly.

Even the Monkey King when he was causing trouble in the Dragon Palace was not as awe-inspiring as he is today, and people did not have the slightest thought of resisting.

More importantly, he couldn't understand why Sun Wukong suddenly took action?

He has agreed to hand over the property of the Jinghe Dragon Clan.

It makes absolutely no sense!
Is it just to make the matter bigger and bring disgrace to the reputation of the North Sea Dragon Clan?
Not only Ao Shun couldn't understand it, but Ao Guang, Ao Lie, Chi Ran and others also couldn't understand it.

There's no need to do this.

At this moment, Sun Wukong glanced at them and then raised his hand and waved.

Everyone was surprised to find that they could no longer see Sun Wukong and the Dragon King of the North Sea.

After Sun Wukong used the Fang Cun Tian Di to block out the surrounding space, he grabbed Ao Shun by the neck and brought him in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "Next, I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. If you hide anything, you'll be in trouble!"

Ao Shun didn't have time to think. He immediately showed a look of panic and begged for mercy, "Xiaolong would never dare to deceive the Great Sage..."

Sun Wukong sneered, "Hehe, you don't dare to lie to me? It seems the North Sea Dragon King has forgotten that he allowed the Demon King of Chaos to invade our Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

Ao Shun was stunned, and then he became even more frightened, even feeling creepy.

He finally understood why Sun Wukong suddenly took action.

Then he became even more confused. How could this newly-appointed Fighting Buddha of Lingshan know about the Demon King of Mixed Worlds?

Although the original plan was crude and left some loopholes, as long as Sun Wukong hadn't discovered that the Demon King of Mixed Worlds was alive again, the matter would never have been exposed.

And on his way here, he also saw Hunshi...

"It's you, Sun Wukong, it's you who turned into the devil!" Ao Shun exclaimed in shock, with fear in his sudden realization.

"It's me!" Sun Wukong's eyes were like arrows, "But I know you are not the mastermind. As long as you tell me who is behind this, I can spare your life.

Otherwise, I will peel off your skin and crush your bones, and send your soul into the underworld, where you will never be able to escape reincarnation!"

Ao Shun was silent.

If he had known that a Monkey King without any fame would achieve such great success today, he would definitely not have accepted this mission!
No, he didn't seem to have the strength to refuse.

Thinking of this, Ao Shun smiled bitterly and said, "What does it matter if I tell you? I'm going to die anyway!"

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, "No one can see or hear our conversation now. If you tell me, I can guarantee you a chance to reincarnate, and Ao Moang will not be implicated in any way."

Ao Shun immediately became suspicious and indeed discovered something unusual.

Although Ao Guang and others in the distance were still looking over here, their eyes seemed to be looking for something.

He was even more surprised. What kind of magical power was this?
After the surprise comes contemplation and decision.

After knowing Ao Shun's long-cherished wish, Sun Wukong was very patient and confident, so he did not urge him.

Ao Shun's expression changed again and again, and he finally sighed and said with a wry smile: "I believe the Great Sage can guarantee me a chance to reincarnate, but my son Moang...

He has a somewhat aloof and arrogant personality, so I beg the Great Sage to recommend him for transfer to the position of Dragon King of the North Sea, so that he can avoid being implicated."

Sun Wukong said, "This is a simple matter. I will agree to it."

Ao Shun gritted his teeth again before speaking with difficulty, "So that the Great Sage knows that it was the Mahavairocana Buddha of the Buddhist sect who ordered me to find the Demon King of Chaos and force him to invade the Flower-Fruit Mountain."

"Mahavairocana?" A divine light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and this time he was surprised.

Because this is someone you would never have thought of!

He once speculated that it was Tathagata Buddha who was behind this, or it could be Guanyin Bodhisattva, or even his master Bodhi Patriarch.

Or it could be the Jade Emperor in Heaven, or some other celestial being or emperor in Heaven.

But he never expected that the mastermind behind his plan to turn his demon-breaking and demon-returning plan into a plan to return to the original state would be someone who had nothing to do with him!

Of course, if we speculate now, the most likely possibility is that Vairocana Buddha is not the real mastermind.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong asked, "Why did he plot against me?"

Ao Shun had already spoken, so of course he would not hide anything and immediately replied, "The Great Sage was just an unknown Monkey King at the time, and the Demon King of Chaos was just a demon at the Celestial Realm.

So I once asked Mahavairocana Buddha why he made such a plan.

But he did not tell me the reason, he just told me that if I found out that the devil was alive again, I should report it to him immediately.

In return, he gave my son and I the opportunity to participate in the journey to the West."

After hearing the final part, Sun Wukong understood the whole story.

But this still cannot confirm whether Vairocana Tathagata is the real mastermind.

This can only mean two things.

First, since he could decide who would participate in such a major event as the journey to the West, it meant that Vairocana Tathagata's status in Lingshan was higher than he knew.

Second, no matter what is discovered next, one thing can be confirmed now, that is, the Buddhists have plotted against him.

"Buddha..." Sun Wukong remembered that he had never worn a cassock since he left Lingshan.

But he clearly remembered the feeling of being canonized as Fighting Buddha and wearing the cassock in the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.

At that moment, he seemed to be able to transcend the material world, to realize everything, to feel the boundless power of Buddhism, and to immerse himself in it.

After leaving the Great Leiyin Temple and Lingshan, that feeling gradually faded.

After returning to Huaguo Mountain, all that was left was a feeling of detachment from the world.

But he still enjoyed it.

Because if he was resistant when he first set out on the journey to the West, he would have to be restrained by the golden hoop.

By the time he obtained the true scriptures, he was able to accept the true fruit of Buddhism and felt that such a life was not bad.

"But if such a life is full of calculations, you will always be at the mercy of others..."

At this moment, Sun Wukong seemed to be able to feel an invisible restraint in his heart.

The fierceness in his eyes became more and more fierce, and it kept interweaving with his sharp gaze, as if it was about to turn into a force that could break everything!
