I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The ancestral home of humankind.

Li Yu also bathed and burned incense, and wore a black Taoist robe.

Yunxiao looked puzzled. "Husband, why do you value him so much?"

Yunxiao already knew the nameless Taoist's identity; he was none other than his teacher's father god, Pangu!

When the stone monkey was born, her husband even personally went to ask Pangu to come forward and teach him!

Hearing that the robber was coming, he even took a bath and burned incense!

Unprecedented attention.

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Why should we care? I don't know either."

"Maybe his name is Sun Wukong!"

A moment later.

The gate to the small courtyard creaked.

Sun Wukong and Ao Cai knocked on the door.

hum!

The door slowly opened.

As Sun Wukong and Ao Cai entered through the gate, they saw the First Emperor, a man of striking good looks and extraordinary charisma, sitting quietly under the pavilion drinking tea.

Ao Cai: "I thought the First Emperor would be like my teacher, a refined and otherworldly old cultivator... I never imagined he would be such a breathtakingly handsome figure, comparable to all of you readers!"

Sun Wukong: "Who says it isn't?"

"Sun Wukong from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain pays his respects to the First Emperor."

"Ao Cai of the East Sea pays his respects to the First Emperor."

"You've arrived. No need for formalities, please have a seat."

Li Yu was also observing Sun Wukong, who was dressed in a simple cloth robe and whose hair shone brightly in the soft sunlight.

Especially her eyes, so bright and expressive!

"Thank you, First Emperor."

After Sun Wukong and Ao Cai took their seats, they appeared somewhat reserved.

Li Yu smiled calmly, "I already know why you've come. Leave professional matters to the professionals. We'll ask Yu the Great later if the Iron Needle that Stabilizes the Sea can be moved."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and Ao Cai were overjoyed, thinking, "The First Emperor is far too kind and easy to talk to."

Why ask a professional about something so technical? The First Emperor couldn't possibly be unaware! Did he really not know whether or not it could be moved?

The implication of this statement is that the iron pillar is the key to victory, and the outcome is almost certain!

Li Yu asked with a smile, "Having left Flower Fruit Mountain and traveled around this world, how do you feel?"

Sun Wukong sat upright and said truthfully, "When I was on Flower Fruit Mountain, eating and drinking my fill was the greatest joy. It wasn't until I left Flower Fruit Mountain that I realized how vast the world is and how insignificant I am."

I envy the boundless universe, and lament the fleeting nature of my own life!

"Traveling to so many places wasn't hard at all; on the contrary, the many experiences I've had have been the best nourishment for my growth," Sun Wukong continued.

Li Yu nodded in understanding, quite satisfied!

The Great Sage before us is not a frog in a well; he is still unruly at heart, but he is not arrogant in his actions!

This is the best way!

Know the whole picture of heaven and earth, and remain humble!

The path to enlightenment is endless!

Li Yu spoke again, his words carrying a deeper meaning: "From now on, you will likely face even greater hardships and dangers, things that are probably beyond your imagination."

Sun Wukong, being intelligent, also understood the First Emperor's true meaning: "Cultivating the mind is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind!"

"Hold fast to the green hills and never let go! A thousand blows and ten thousand trials will only make them stronger!"

Time is like fine sand.

They talked for two and a half hours.

Sun Wukong truly felt that conversing with the First Emperor was exhilarating, and that he could perceive the entire world through their words!

Moreover! Sun Wukong could sense that the First Emperor valued him highly and seemed to have high hopes for him!

The conversation ended.

Yu the Great came to visit.

"The First Emperor."

"Emperor Yu, can the magic iron needle move?"

Yu smiled calmly, "No problem. The Divine Needle Iron was used to measure and control water levels back then. Now that the human race has expanded its canals extensively, there is no need for the Divine Needle Iron to control water levels anymore."

Li Yu laughed and said, "Did you hear that?"

Sun Wukong and Ao Cai bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Emperor Qin!"

Go!

"We'll take our leave now." After bowing deeply once more, they walked out of the courtyard.

Li Yu laughed and said, "Hmm, I'm still missing a set of clothes..."

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart!

Ao Cai wholeheartedly agreed, "That's right! Monkey King is still missing a set of costumes!"

"We're waiting to return to the East China Sea!"

Outside the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Then they saw a thick pillar standing in the sea.

The pillar was covered with moss.

It occasionally emits golden light!

Ao Guang asked in surprise, "The Sea-Stabilizing Needle has stood here for countless millennia without any abnormalities... and it suddenly emitted golden light as soon as you arrived, my nephew?"

Sun Wukong walked to the base of the pillar!

The golden light flashes at an even higher frequency!

Sun Wukong felt a tremor in his heart, a sense of familiarity and closeness rising within him!

It's as if we were destined to meet!

Sun Wukong subconsciously reached out to touch the stone pillar.

Whoosh!

All the moss has fallen off!

The limestone is cracking!

Revealing its true form!

The Sea-Stabilizing Needle, its golden light gleaming, illuminates the dark seabed!

Sun Wukong's Dao heart trembled violently, and he leaped into the air, circling around the Ruyi Jingu Bang!

Then you'll see that it's engraved with supreme Dao patterns: the Ruyi Jingu Bang!

As if sensing his thoughts, Sun Wukong said, "Make it thinner, make it smaller."

Boom! Boom!

The thick, sturdy pillar that stabilizes the sea suddenly shrank by a size!

Fall to one side!

Ao Guang was horrified: "We can't let it hit the seabed! The seabed might crack and trigger a tsunami!"

Without Ao Guang's prompting, Sun Wukong immediately steadied the golden cudgel, saying, "Thinner, smaller!"

hum!

The thick golden cudgel shrank even further!

"Make it thinner, smaller!"

hum!

The Ruyi Jingu Bang has been transformed into a weapon of moderate size and appropriate length!

It is called a weapon, but it is actually a magical treasure!

This treasure was personally crafted by Li Yu using the Qiankun Cauldron, which possesses the power to reverse one's innate nature!

Therefore, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) is a primordial spiritual treasure, and it possesses the merit of controlling floods!

It is not only a primordial spiritual treasure, but also a spiritual treasure of merit!

Slaying cultivators will not incur any karmic consequences!

He held the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand!

Sun Wukong's aura suddenly changed!

My fighting spirit is boiling!

Then we saw Sun Wukong rush out of the sea at the first moment!

He brandished the golden cudgel!

The thick clouds in the sky were blown away.

The calamity-inducing energy between heaven and earth surged!

It can be described as: earth-shattering and awe-inspiring!

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) is truly a treasure tailor-made for me!"

"Hahaha!"

Ao Cai was also very happy to see that Brother Monkey had obtained a treasure that satisfied him.

"Monkey King, Monkey King, come back!"

"What's wrong?"

Ao Cai looked at her father.

Ao Guang's heart convulsed...

"Father, look how majestic Monkey King is with his Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

"That was quite impressive!"

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) is invincible; a mere graze will injure, and a single touch will kill."

"Father, don't you feel that Brother Monkey is still missing something?"

"What's missing? We have everything we need!"

"What an outfit!"

"Father, isn't there a golden chainmail armor in our treasury?"

Ao Guang cried again, "You spendthrift daughter! That golden chainmail is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, an heirloom of our ancestor, known for its unparalleled defense, impervious to all magic!"

Ao Guang gave a wry smile, "It's just one piece, and it doesn't even match..."

"Daughter, I heard the matching set is with those three uncles?"

"Father, strike the Dragon Bell and have our three uncles bring their ceremonial attire."

Ao Guang: "Waaah! You child! Not only are you eyeing your own family's treasure trove, but you're also eyeing your three uncles' treasures?"

Even Ao Guang couldn't do anything about it!

He rang the Dragon Gathering Bell to tell his three brothers to bring their gear!

Upon hearing about the Gathering Dragon Bell, the three Dragon Kings, Ao Run, Ao Shun, and Ao Qin, immediately took out pieces of their set, walked through the passageway, and headed towards the East Sea!

They are: Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, Lotus Root Silk Cloud-Walking Shoes, and Ruyi Gold Silk Bracelet.

then!

Sun Wukong put on this outfit, wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a golden chainmail armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.

These three items form a set, all being top-grade innate spiritual treasures, relics left by the Dragon Clan's ancestor.

As for the Ruyi Golden Silk Bracelet, it is an innate spiritual treasure wristband that is an added bonus to the set. It can be wrapped around the arm with softness and can be used to shatter mountains with strength, combining offense and defense!

Ao Cai's eyes lit up when she saw Monkey King wearing such a suit of armor!

"Father, we're going back to Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Thank you, Dragon King, for the treasure. I will repay this kindness in the future."

Ao Cai dragged Sun Wukong back to Flower Fruit Mountain to "show off".

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas fainted from crying and wailed loudly!

And just then!

The Candle Dragon Ancestor stepped forward. "What are you crying about? Is that all the strength you have?"

"You should be happy!"

"What's there to be happy about?"

Zhulong took a deep breath and said meaningfully, "Sun Wukong... is no ordinary person! Extremely extraordinary! To earn such high regard and great expectations from the First Emperor!"

Zhulong patted Ao Guang on the head, "You! You've finally done one thing right!"
