I, the Chaos Being, joined the chat group at the start.

As the stone used by Nuwa to mend the sky exploded, a golden light shot into the ninth heaven, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the earth to shake.

"Hehe, I, Old Sun, am out!"

Sun Wukong roared and somersaulted several times in the sky. His gaze pierced through the thirty-three heavens and descended to the Netherworld, seeing everything clearly.

Sun Wukong's physical body radiated dazzling golden light, as hot as a sun, and his realm was already that of a Golden Immortal.

He was born a Golden Immortal, and is not far from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

As the stone used to mend the heavens, Sun Wukong absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for countless years, accumulating formidable power.

In the original story, Sun Wukong cultivated to the realm of a celestial being in just seven years, relying on his own inherent foundation and his extraordinary talent.

Even now, while still in the stone embryo, Sun Wukong has already cultivated the Heaven-Covering Technique taught by Xu Yi.

Although the cultivation systems of the two worlds are different, the Secret Realm Technique has even more stringent conditions, and it cannot be cultivated by anyone other than cultivators of the Shrouding Heaven Universe.

But the stone monkey Sun Wukong was a born sage, and his comprehension could be described as heaven-defying.

Xu Yi's transmission of the Heaven-Covering Technique is one thing, while Sun Wukong's own comprehension of his own Heaven-Covering Technique is another.

Just like the Tao Te Ching, some versions say that the Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, and Three gives birth to all things.

But in the eyes of some, it is the Tao that gives birth to one, then to two, then to three, and then to all things.

In addition, in order to bring Sun Wukong into the world as soon as possible, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the angel investor, fed him a large amount of her own sweet dew and even rare and precious herbs!

With the accumulation of abundant resources, Sun Wukong has reached his current level of mastery.

The moment Sun Wukong was born, the destiny of the Journey to the West began.

High in the western sky, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the newborn Sun Wukong with a sense of relief.

"It's finally born. I should go back and report. But the stone monkey's aura... what's wrong with it..."

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that Sun Wukong had powerful cultivation from birth.

But it's understandable, after all, it has the foundation of the Sky-Mending Stone, the merit of mending the sky, and the essence of the sun and moon accumulated over the years since mending the sky.

The birth of the stone monkey caused a great commotion, attracting attention throughout the Three Realms, yet no one doubted Sun Wukong.

It would be strange if there were no movement, after all, this plan has been going on for many years.

The stronger the stone monkey becomes, the more beneficial it will be to Buddhism, and it will surely become a great help to Buddhism in the future.

Sun Wukong looked westward, already sensing that someone was spying on him, and even all the gods and Buddhas in the sky were looking over.

However, he didn't care. His world was governed by cause and effect. Since he had just been born, these gods and Buddhas couldn't possibly attack him directly.

Later, he arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain, and as fate would have it, he found the Water Curtain Cave and became the king of the monkey troop on Flower Fruit Mountain.

Sun Wukong sat in the Water Curtain Cave, wondering whose temple it really was.

The Water Curtain Cave is full of spiritual energy. It connects to the East China Sea, and one can even enter the East China Sea directly through the Water Curtain Cave.

"I, Old Sun, have already been born. Although I possess great skills, I lack a suitable weapon."

Sun Wukong thought of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff that stabilizes the sea), which was originally his weapon. However, it was in the hands of the Dragon King of the East Sea. If he took the Ruyi Jingu Bang, he would inevitably incur karmic debt to the East Sea.

"Ding! A side quest in the Great Dao storyline has been triggered. Head to the East Sea and retrieve the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Quest complete, you have earned 5,000 points."

The voice of the Great Dao chat group rang in Sun Wukong's ears.

"??"

"This chat group messed me up! How did I trigger this quest?" Sun Wukong complained, scratching his head.

He originally wanted to develop quietly for a few more years and strive to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but he never expected to trigger such a mission.

If we do it, it will definitely trigger cause and effect, and then we will end up going down the same old path as the havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

But if he doesn't do it, he won't get the task points, and besides, he really likes the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

Once he started doing it, Sun Wukong felt that the points were a sure thing. Although the Dragon King of the East Sea was a cultivator of the four seas, his cultivation was not strong. Moreover, at this stage, the Dragon King's strength was far inferior to that of the ancient times.

With his Golden Immortal cultivation, he fears no opponent below the Great Luo level in the Three Realms.

"I, Old Sun, fear neither heaven nor earth. Why should I hesitate because of this mission! I'll take it!" Sun Wukong finally decided to go to the East Sea.

"My children, the king will be away from home for a while."

Sun Wukong left behind a message and went directly to the East Sea.

Because of his cultivation of the Heaven-Covering Technique, Sun Wukong is now unafraid of water and can exert his power to the fullest extent even in the sea.

The ocean is boundless, its area even wider than the four continents, and it teems with countless creatures. Sun Wukong even sensed some ancient auras that were no weaker than his own.

Soon, Sun Wukong saw a palace made entirely of crystal. The palace was enormous, stretching as far as the eye could see, and extremely luxurious.

At the main gate, there were even more shrimp soldiers and crab generals dressed in armor, each of them quite powerful, some even possessing the cultivation level of an Earth Immortal.

"The gatekeeper of the East Sea Dragon Palace seems to be even more powerful than the gatekeeper of the South Heavenly Gate," Sun Wukong wondered.

Apart from the generals, most of the heavenly soldiers and generals at the South Heavenly Gate, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, were not actually immortals.

Most of these heavenly soldiers were powerful warriors recruited by the Heavenly Court from ancient battlefields on Earth. After their deaths, they were brought to the Heavenly Court to become its guards.

However, some people ascend to immortality through their own cultivation, but because they have no connections, they can only join the ranks of heavenly soldiers. Only by making meritorious contributions can they truly be ranked among the immortals.

Sun Wukong arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and said:

"Please inform them that the neighbors of Flower Fruit Mountain have come to visit the Dragon King of the East Sea."

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals glanced at Sun Wukong and found that his cultivation was unfathomable. The mere aura of his physical body made their primordial spirits tremble uncontrollably, and they immediately showed solemn expressions.

"Yes, Immortal." The shrimp soldiers and crab generals returned the greeting.

They did not underestimate the person in front of them just because he was a monkey. Moreover, the Three Realms were vast and full of extraordinary people. They had lived for thousands of years and could not possibly be without discernment.

As the message was relayed through various levels, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who was singing and dancing in the Dragon Palace, received the news and his expression changed slightly.

"How come I don't remember having a neighboring Flower Fruit Mountain?" the Dragon King of the East Sea pondered.

He did some quick calculations with his fingers, then his expression turned strange. "Why is this monkey here so soon?"

The Dragon King of the East Sea foresaw that the visitor was none other than the Stone Monkey, one of the protagonists of the great calamity that had recently been born. The East Sea was also involved in this great calamity, but the discussions with the gods and Buddhas were different. At this time, Sun Wukong should not be here.

"Your Majesty, shall we approach the stone monkey?" asked the Turtle Prime Minister.

As a confidant of the Dragon King, he also knew about the stone monkey.

"I'd like to see what this stone monkey is up to," said the Dragon King of the East Sea.

……

Chapter 437 Sun Wukong: Oh no, this Dragon King is a bit too fierce!

Dragon Palace.

Led by the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Sun Wukong finally arrived at the Dragon King's palace.

This place is entirely made of special and valuable crystals, through which you can see the entire ocean and many rare aquatic creatures.

The stone monkey had been a member of the Great Dao chat group for a long time and had seen the scenery of other worlds, but at that time he had not yet been born. Now that he was seeing this world with his own eyes, he felt extremely novel.

If the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is in such a state, what must the Heavenly Court of the Thirty-Three Heavens be like?

Stone Monkey then turned on the live streaming function of the Great Road chat group and shared what he had seen with the group members.

"Ding! Group member Stone Monkey has activated the live streaming function!"

"Ding! Qin Shi Huang has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Princess Keisha has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! The person who loves drinking animal milk has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! God King Jiang Taixu has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Yuechan has joined the live stream!"

"Ding! Fairy Yunxiao has joined the live stream!"

...

In no time, almost all the online group members joined Shihou's live stream.

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "Great Sage, where are you?"

Shi Hao: "So much seafood! Huge crabs! Huge octopus! I want to eat!"

Black Emperor: "Tsk tsk, it looks so plump!"

Qian Renxue: "This must be a palace made of crystal, so magnificent..."

Wang Qiu'er: "Add one."

Huo Linfei: "Holy crap. Could it be the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?"

Huo Linfei had read Journey to the West and immediately thought that Sun Wukong might have gone to the East Sea.

Chu Luoli: "But I remember the Great Sage was inside a stone, wasn't he?"

Stone Monkey: "Hehehe, I've only been born a short time, so I'm short of a handy weapon, right? That's why I came to the East Sea to borrow one from the Dragon King."

Chu Luoli: "Is it really a loan?"
