Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

What Sun Wukong didn't know was that the bad guys had already filed a complaint, but since he was the master of the underworld, he didn't bother to report it to the heavenly court.

However, when a wandering immortal learned of this, he directly reported the matter to the Heavenly Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace, stating that this demonic monkey had bullied the little dragon, forcibly occupied the water dwelling, demanded weapons, and used magic to wield power; demanding armor and displaying ferocity and arrogance. It had frightened and injured the aquatic creatures, recklessly trespassed into the Netherworld, and disrupted the primordial order of the Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, they pleaded with the Heavenly Emperor to order the capture of this demonic monkey in order to uphold the authority of the Heavenly Court in the primordial world.

However, Haotian, who already possessed considerable acting skills, looked at the assembled celestial officials below and said, "How many years ago and in what era was this demon monkey born, yet it is so virtuous?"

The Barefoot Immortal stepped forward and said, "This monkey is a stone monkey born from heaven three hundred years ago. At the time, we didn't think much of it, but who knows where it has cultivated itself into an immortal in the past few years, subduing dragons and tigers, and forcibly erasing itself from the Book of Death."

The all-seeing and all-hearing eyes, which were originally about to report, paused, then acted as if nothing had happened.

"Where will the divine general descend to subdue him?" Haotian's voice betrayed no emotion.

Upon hearing this, Venus stepped forward and said, "In the vast wilderness, all beings with nine orifices can cultivate immortality."

"This monkey is a creature nurtured by heaven and earth, a body formed by the sun and moon. It stands tall between heaven and earth, eating dew and clouds. Now that it has cultivated the path to immortality, possessing the ability to subdue dragons and tigers, how is it different from a human?"

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you consider the benevolent grace of Heaven and issue an imperial edict to grant him amnesty, summon him to the celestial realm, bestow upon him a minor or major official position, register his name in the celestial register, and confine him here. If he obeys Heaven's will, he will be promoted and rewarded later; if he disobeys Heaven's will, he will be captured. This way, we can avoid mobilizing troops and we can also use the proper method to subdue immortals."

"Haha, my dear minister, your words are reasonable. We shall grant your request!" Haotian's voice echoed throughout the Heavenly Court.

But after what happened last time, even if some people look down on Haotian, they don't show it openly now. Don't you see that everyone in the Chan Sect has been imprisoned by Haotian now...

Just as Venus descended to earth, Sun Wukong told his six brothers about his experiences in the underworld, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion upon hearing it.

"The Lord of the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu, was born at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a top deity in the primordial world. Now that he has gone into seclusion, he is probably at the top level in the primordial world. No one below the sage can defeat him."

"Although my younger brother is under pressure now, he has been cleared of his status. His future attainment of the Great Luo realm, and even the Quasi-Saint realm, is already a foregone conclusion. It is all a matter of time and fate, and he has his own destiny," Peng Demon King said reassuringly.

What Peng Demon King said wasn't without reason. If Sun Wukong's aptitude was extremely poor and his name was erased from the Book of Life and Death, he would probably be immortal in the future, and no matter what realm he was in, he could be worn away by time.

But the key point is that with Sun Wukong's extraordinary talent, it wouldn't take him long to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so immortality is essentially irrelevant to him...

The Bull Demon King also said, "The Underworld is the abode of all spirits in the primordial world. Its status is so high that it has two sages, whose positions are comparable to those of Hongjun Daozu. In the future, my younger brother should also be cautious when traveling in the primordial world. The vastness of the primordial world cannot be known without sages, and the greatness of the primordial world cannot be understood without sages."

Sun Wukong nodded upon hearing this. He already knew some of the secrets of the prehistoric world, and his heart was filled with fighting spirit towards those powerful beings of the prehistoric world.

Although he is only at the Golden Immortal realm now, he is confident that he will grow to a level equal to that of other great powers in the future.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but sense the continuous flow of creative energy within his body.

He had a premonition that this aura of destiny would bring him a great surprise at a crucial moment in the future.

Therefore, Sun Wukong's current cultivation is all achieved through his own hard work, step by step, and he has never used the power of creation.

Not only that, Sun Wukong also built a shrine in the Water Curtain Cave, modeled after the goddess Nuwa of the human race.

Inside is a statue of the Goddess Nüwa. Whenever Sun Wukong was not in seclusion, he would come to offer incense every day, and he also ordered countless monkeys and their followers to come and offer incense as well.

Upon learning of this, the six demon kings—Bull Demon King, Flood Dragon Demon King, and Roc Demon King—offered incense with utmost respect.

Whether it was the Bull Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, or the Roc Demon King, they couldn't help but show a hint of approval when they looked at Sun Wukong.

They even knew how to curry favor with powerful figures, and they did so at the highest level of the primordial world, which impressed the six demons.

"Suffering humiliation is nothing. There is a saying among humans that a great man should be able to bend and stretch. In the past, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, understood this principle well. When he fell into obscurity, he transformed into a small snake, able to bend and stretch, bide his time, preserve his strength, and wait for the right opportunity."

"If he encounters a discerning eye to recognize his talent, when the time is right for him to become a dragon, he can then display his supernatural powers by swallowing clouds and spitting out mist." The Flood Dragon Demon King couldn't help but sigh after hearing about Sun Wukong's experiences.

He was originally a small snake from the primordial era, and the humiliations he experienced were far greater than those of Sun Wukong, or even the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, and others.

From a mere snake to the present day, he has attained the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and gained the favor of the Dragon Clan. Among the six demons, none of them can compare to his experiences.

The Bull Demon King has the backing of the Jie Sect, and the Roc Demon King has the backing of the Demon Master's Palace...

"In the past, Liu Bang, with his dragon-snake transformation, established the Han Dynasty of the human race, his power over the eight directions, and his imperial way spread across the nine provinces. He was in no way inferior to the nine emperors of the human race, Ying Zheng. He endured all kinds of humiliation but never forgot his ambition, and only then could he achieve the Dao."

The Flood Dragon Demon King looked at Sun Wukong and couldn't help but remind him that as someone destined to face tribulations, Sun Wukong was destined to experience countless trials in the future, and this was just the beginning.

If one cannot withstand even something as simple as this, then even with exceptional talent, one will likely not achieve much.

"Where the flowers are in full bloom and the willows are lush, one should have a high vantage point; when the wind is strong and the rain is heavy, one should stand firm." Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but fall into thought, and then he couldn't help but speak the words he had learned from the human race in his youth.

"When you're a dragon, focus on being a dragon; when you're a snake, focus on being a snake." Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, the Flood Dragon Demon King burst into laughter and couldn't help but admire Sun Wukong as he looked at him.

"Now, thanks to Second Brother's advice, I, Old Sun, have suddenly realized that the heart of seeking the Dao should be unstoppable, and the more setbacks we encounter, the more determined we become. Today's setbacks are the foundation for tomorrow's future!" Sun Wukong raised his cup and laughed loudly. At this moment, his cultivation level seemed to have gained many insights, and his original mid-stage Golden Immortal realm had begun to improve.

"Haha, it's best that Seventh Brother has figured it out!" The Bull Demon King and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard Sun Wukong's words.

After learning that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Handsome Monkey King, had his name erased from the Book of Life and Death at the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain, countless demon kings came to pay homage.

They don't know the process, they only care about the result. Even if it's achieved by kneeling down step by step, that's still an incredible skill!

Besides cultivating his skills, Sun Wukong would spend his time discussing literature and martial arts with his brothers, drinking wine, singing and dancing, going out in the morning and returning at night, enjoying himself in every way.

Venus, who came from the Heavenly Court, arrived at the exact time, riding auspicious clouds to the outside of Flower Fruit Mountain.

His figure had barely appeared in Flower Fruit Mountain when he was surrounded by a group of monkeys and their offspring.

"I am an angel sent from heaven, bearing a sacred decree. I request that your king ascend to the mortal realm and quickly inform him!" Venus said to the group of monkeys. (End of Chapter)
