Honghuang: Starting from the Enlightenment of the Great Emperor Dongyue

Chapter 64: Big Trouble
After bowing and bidding farewell to Laozi, Taicang went straight to Xiniu Hezhou.

As soon as he entered the territory of Xiniu Hezhou, Taicang withdrew all his spiritual light and allowed the stone monkey's nature to be fully released.

He walked and stopped along the way, sometimes playing with mountain spirits, sometimes chasing wild beasts in the woods, and he seemed quite free and easy.

After several years, Taicang finally arrived at the "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave".

Following the stone monkey's temperament, he became a disciple and was named "Sun Wukong". He also learned the "Great Heavenly Immortal Secret", "Seventy-two Transformations" and "Somersault Cloud".

Taicang is the supreme being, and his spiritual light is hidden. Only those with a higher realm than him can perceive the anomaly. Moreover, Taishang Laozi is secretly concealing the secrets of heaven. How can Bodhi Patriarch, the good corpse of the Buddha Mother, perceive anything?
Everything was going according to plan until Taicang was "expelled" from the sect by Patriarch Bodhi.

"Wukong, you have learned a lot now, and it's time to go down the mountain. Remember, don't cause trouble outside, and don't mention my name, otherwise..." Patriarch Bodhi said lightly.

Taicang sneered in his heart, but his face was full of fear. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Master, don't worry. I will remember your teachings and will never reveal any information to you!"

When the stone monkey was born, he took the accompanying fairy mushroom, and his origin was perfect, without being contaminated by acquired spiritual energy. After practicing the Great Heavenly Immortal Technique, he completely developed the innate spiritual energy in his body. In just a few years, Taicang had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal.

If word of this speed of cultivation were to get out, it would probably shock everyone.

Although this Great Heavenly Immortal Art is mysterious, it lacks the key method of cultivating the mind, which means that the practitioner has great power but cannot control his own mind.

The stronger the power, the more the desires and ambitions in one's nature will expand, like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and is difficult to control.

In this way, if one has great power but lacks a corresponding character, he will sooner or later become a demon that brings disaster to others.

After saying that, Taicang somersaulted and traveled ten thousand eight thousand miles.

Standing above the clouds, looking back, golden light flashed in his eyes. The so-called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave were already deserted.

A hint of mockery appeared on Taicang's lips.

Huaguoshan.

Taicang pressed down the clouds.

Before he could carefully feel the familiar breath, he was surrounded by a group of monkeys.

When they saw Taicang, instead of being happy, they all trembled with fear in their eyes.

"My king, you're finally back!" An old monkey stepped forward tremblingly, his eyes filled with hope and fear. "While you were away, Flower-Fruit Mountain... Flower-Fruit Mountain... was taken over by that Heavenly Demon Saint!"

"The Demon Saint of Heaven?" Taicang frowned slightly. Where did this thing come from?
The old monkey had a sad face and tears streaming down his face as he recounted the hardships he had suffered over the years.

"That demon saint is incredibly cruel. She's taken over all seventy-two blessed lands and caves within our Flower-Fruit Mountain! Many monkeys have been abducted and forced to serve her, and they haven't returned yet. We don't know whether they're alive or dead!"

Nuwa has also let her nature run wild. The Heavenly Demon Saint? She really knows how to play.

Taicang remained calm on the surface and comforted the monkeys, but in his heart he was thinking about how to "perform" this scene with Nuwa.

"Don't panic, I'll be back soon!" Taicang patted his chest in a heroic manner and somersaulted out.

He naturally knew where the so-called "Demon Saint of Heaven" was.

On the top of Cangli Mountain in the East China Sea, there is a newly built palace that is magnificent and golden, and filled with evil spirits. It is the palace of Nuwa.

Taicang didn't hide anything and landed directly in front of the palace gate, shouting at the top of his voice: "Hey! That bird demon saint, come out and die!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure flew out of the palace and stood opposite Taicang.

The person who came was wearing a golden robe and a phoenix crown on his head. He had a beautiful appearance and was exactly the incarnation of Nuwa.

She glared at Tai Cang in feigned anger and scolded him, "Where did this wild monkey come from? How dare you act so presumptuous in front of me!"

"Wild monkey? I, Sun Wukong, am the Monkey King of Flower-Fruit Mountain!" Taicang said arrogantly to Nuwa, "If you know what's good for you, quickly release my monkeys. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Nuwa chuckled disdainfully, her eyes filled with amusement. "What an arrogant monkey! How dare you shout at me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take my punch!" Taicang said nothing more, swung his iron fist and hit Nuwa.

Nuwa dodged the stick easily with a flash of her body, and slapped Taicang with her backhand.

Taicang did not dodge, but took the palm strike head-on, his body only swaying slightly.

"interesting."

Nuwa then had a long whip in her hand and fought with Taicang.

The two men fought back and forth, using all their strength, from the ground to the sky, making it dark and gloomy.

Although Taicang only had the cultivation level of the peak Golden Immortal, he relied on his strong body and fought on equal terms with Nuwa, who was in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal (not a disciple of Sanqing).

Naturally, this war could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of all the forces in the prehistoric world.

For a moment, countless divine thoughts were cast here, secretly observing this shocking battle.

"Who is this monkey? How could he fight a Taiyi Golden Immortal Demon Saint to a draw?"

"Interesting, interesting, it looks like this prehistoric world is going to get lively again!"

……

As the battle continued, Taicang and Nuwa gradually showed their true skills.

Taicang roared and transformed into a giant ape, with muscles all over his body and exuding a violent aura.

He pounded his fists, making loud noises and each punch broke through the air.

Nuwa was not to be outdone. She used her magic to transform herself into a thousand-foot-tall giant, holding a long whip, and fought with the giant ape.

The two Dharma images of heaven and earth collided in the air, making a deafening noise and breaking the space.

For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and the sun and the moon lost their light.

All the creatures in the ancient world were shocked by this earth-shaking battle.

"This...this monkey..." The face of Ao Guang, the old dragon in the East China Sea, became more and more bitter. A demon saint had already caused chaos in the East China Sea, and now a monkey came back.

too difficult.

At this moment, the giant ape suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar, its body suddenly grew larger again, golden light shone brightly, and it punched the giant transformed by Nuwa.

This punch contained all of Taicang's power.

Nuwa's face changed slightly, and she seemed unable to dodge in time.

"boom!"

The giant ape's fist hit Nuwa hard.

The Dharma image transformed by Nuwa let out a scream, flew backwards, fell heavily, and smashed the mountains into pieces.

"This..." All the creatures in the ancient world were stunned by this scene.

That was the Demon Saint! How could he be knocked away by a single punch from this monkey?

"Your Majesty! Wait!"

Taicang stopped and looked at her coldly.

Nuwa forced a smile on her face. "Your Majesty, your magical powers are immense. I admire you. How about we make peace?"

Taicang snorted coldly, "Do you think I will believe you?"

Nuwa quickly said, "You have misunderstood, my friend. I mean no harm to you. I did not harm those monkeys, but trained them into demon soldiers. I consider it my friendship."

Taicang agreed, "Okay, I'll give you a favor. But if you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for being rude!"

Nuwa heaved a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Don't worry, my friend. I would never dare to deceive you. Please follow me to the cave to take a look."

Taicang nodded and put away his fighting stance.

The two of them spoke in silence along the way and soon returned to Nuwa's palace.

A flash of innate spiritual light flickered between Nuwa's brows, and the shadow of a simple, ancient tripod emerged, spinning and enveloping the entire palace, obscuring the secrets of heaven. This was the incarnation of the companion spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Tripod, left behind by Nuwa herself when she left.

Inside the palace, the two sat opposite each other.

The hall is filled with a faint fragrance, which seems to be there and not there, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Nuwa opened her red lips slightly, breaking the silence: "How have you been these years?"

Taicang nodded slightly and recounted his experiences over the years.

Nuwa listened quietly, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning, and sometimes showing surprise.

When she heard Taicang talking about his encounter with Taishang Laozi, she was even more surprised.

"Taishang Laozi? So he has noticed us a long time ago?" Nuwa was a little bit unbelievable.

Laozi, the Supreme Lord, is the chief of all saints in this world.

Taicang nodded, then repeated the conversation with Taishang Laozi in detail to Nuwa, including Taishang Laozi's strength and his attitude towards them.

After hearing this, Nuwa was also shocked by Laozi's strength, and at the same time she seemed to be thinking about something.

"So that's it!" Nuwa suddenly realized.

"No wonder we found this place so easily and entered it so easily."

"If that's the case," Nuwa smiled sweetly, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing, "then can we act more recklessly from now on?"

Taicang smiled and nodded, it should be so.

Since Taishang Laozi has tacitly approved of their existence, they can naturally act more freely and no longer have to be as cautious as before.

"By the way, what have you been doing these years?" Taicang asked. "I remember you said you wanted to unify the demon tribes near Huaguo Mountain. How are things going now?"

"Thanks to you, all seventy-two demon kings within a ten thousand mile radius of Huaguo Mountain have submitted to me. There are now two hundred thousand combat-ready demon soldiers!" Nuwa said with a hint of regret. "This world is severely shattered, and the innate spiritual energy is lost. Cultivation is extremely slow, and demon soldiers at the Qi Refining and Spiritual Transformation realm are already at their limit."

There is no harm without comparison. Just one foot he was the supreme ruler, commanding millions of divine soldiers from the heavenly realm, but the next foot he came to [Source of the Wilderness] and was just a bandit with a bunch of little monsters under his command.

In fact, in just a few decades, Nuwa unified the demon tribe near Huaguo Mountain and had 200,000 demon soldiers. With such strength, she can be regarded as a hegemon in today's world.

Taicang heard this and laughed speechlessly.

"However, I am still just a wild demon saint, and I dare not expand openly." Nuwa said with a hint of helplessness, "After all, the Heavenly Court is still powerful, and my strength is not enough."

After all, Nuwa is only in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal now, and is still far inferior to Haotian, the quasi-saint, not to mention the Zhoutian Saint.

"By the way, what are your plans next?" Nuwa asked.

"Of course, I'll make a bigger noise!" Taicang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Let's start with the Dragon Palace! I don't have any weapons that suit me right now. The Dragon Palace has many treasures, so I'll go see if there's anything suitable."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa rolled her eyes at Taicang and said angrily, "That old dragon Ao Guang can't escape from your grasp."

Taicang laughed heartily, not caring at all about Nuwa's scolding.

Nuwa said seriously, "It's decided. Since you are a pawn in the game of the saints, you will be responsible for causing trouble, and I will be responsible for the logistics behind you."

Taicang and Nuwa smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

East China Sea Dragon Palace.

The Crystal Palace is majestic and magnificent, with clusters of corals, dots of pearls, and schools of fish and shrimps, what a prosperous scene.

At this time, a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth was swaggering in, followed by a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, all of whom were trembling with fear.

"Where is the old Dragon King? Let him come out to see me, Old Sun!" Taicang shouted at the top of his voice, and his voice made the Dragon Palace buzz.

Inside the Dragon Palace, Ao Guang had a bitter face. This day had finally come!
He rubbed the dragon's head and forced out an ugly smile.

He quickly brought Prime Minister Turtle and a group of dragon sons and grandsons out to greet them.

"I didn't know the Great Sage was coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me!" Ao Guang bowed and saluted with a respectful tone.

Taicang looked Ao Guang up and down and sneered, "You old dragon, you are quite sensible. I, Old Sun, came here to find a handy weapon. Do you have any good treasures here?"

Ao Guang was stunned and cursed in his heart, why did those arrogant guys throw this evil star at their doorstep.

He quickly apologized with a smile, "Great Sage, you're joking. My Dragon Palace has many treasures, but nothing could possibly catch your eye. Could you please tell me what kind of weapon you need?"

Taicang scratched his head and said, "I don't know what kind I want, as long as it's heavy and hard enough!"

When Ao Guang heard this, he felt relieved and quickly ordered people to bring the three thousand jin Fang Tian Hua Ji and the seven thousand jin Nine-toothed Nail Mace, but Taicang thought they were too light.

"These pieces of scrap metal are worthy of being called weapons? They can be used as toys for little demons!" Taicang threw the weapons aside with a look of disgust.

Seeing this, Ao Guang's forehead was covered in cold sweat. This monkey was too strong. If he got angry, wouldn't he tear down the Dragon Palace? He quickly winked at Prime Minister Turtle.

Prime Minister Turtle understood and leaned close to Taicang's ear, whispering, "Great Sage, my Dragon Palace has another treasure, the Dinghai Divine Needle, weighing 13,500 kilograms. I wonder if Great Sage would like it?"

When Taicang heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh? There is such a treasure? Take me, Old Sun, to see it!"

Prime Minister Turtle hurriedly brought Taicang to the depths of the Dragon Palace, where he saw an iron pillar standing in the sea, emitting a faint golden light.

Taicang walked forward, grabbed the iron pillar, and pulled it hard. The iron pillar came out and he held it easily in his hand.

"Not bad, not bad. This treasure is quite what I, Old Sun, like!" Taicang waved the iron pillar with a satisfied smile on his face.

This Dinghai Shenzhen, also known as the Ruyi Jingu Bang, was made by Taishang Laojun using divine iron. It can be big or small and has infinite changes. After Emperor Yu's contribution to flood control, it has become a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure.

Seeing that Tai Cang liked it, Ao Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Since the Great Sage likes it, then give it to him."

When Emperor Yu stayed in the East China Sea, although he had the merit of stabilizing the flood, he knew it would not be so easy. Sure enough, it turned out to be a disaster.

Taicang laughed heartily: "You said it, so I, Old Sun, won't be polite!"

After saying that, he put away the golden cudgel and asked Ao Guang for a set of armor.

Ao Guang had no choice but to give the golden chain mail armor, the phoenix-wing purple gold crown, and the lotus silk walking shoes to Taicang.

Taicang got the treasure and armor, and glanced at Yan Aoguang.

"I'm sorry, Ao Guang."

After saying that, he jumped up and down happily, waving the Ruyi Jingu Bang and started playing around in the Dragon Palace.

The golden cudgel danced, turning the Dragon Palace upside down, the sea water surged, and the fish and shrimp fled in all directions.

Ao Guang was so frightened at the sight that he shouted, "Great Sage! Great Sage! Show mercy!"

Taicang turned a deaf ear and continued to wave his golden cudgel, making the Dragon Palace a mess.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace were frightened and fled everywhere, avoiding the attack of the golden cudgel.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a crystal pillar in the Dragon Palace was broken by the golden cudgel, and crystal fragments flew everywhere.

"Great Sage, please spare me! Great Sage, please spare me!"

Ao Guang and his sons and grandsons knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Taicang finally stopped and looked at the messy Dragon Palace, laughing: "You old dragon, you are too weak to fight. I, Old Sun, haven't had enough fun yet!"

Ao Guang wanted to cry but had no tears. This monkey was simply a devil. The Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses because of his disturbance!
He was just thinking about how to clean up the mess when he suddenly heard Taicang say, "I've had enough fun, it's time to go back. I'll come and play with you next time!"

After saying that, he somersaulted and disappeared.

Only Ao Guang and a group of dragon sons and grandsons were left, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

Looking at the messy Dragon Palace, Ao Guang felt grief-stricken and angry. This monkey was really going too far!
