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

"My children, I, Sun Wukong, am leaving. Take care and study the Monkey Classic and the art of weapon crafting. In the future, when the prehistoric world is in turmoil, you will have the strength to stand firm in it!" Sun Wukong's voice echoed throughout Flower Fruit Mountain before his figure completely disappeared from the Eastern Continent.

When Sun Wukong arrived at Wufeng Mountain, he was carrying the Ruyi Jingu Bang on his shoulder. With his fiery eyes, he could see the winds and clouds in all directions, and nothing within a radius of ten thousand miles could escape his sight.

A moment later, Sun Wukong saw a monk riding a horse, and the monk gave Sun Wukong a very strange feeling.

He seemed to possess both immense power and awe, yet he also appeared as an ordinary mortal.

But the feeling of being born a stone monkey made Sun Wukong feel his hair stand on end when he looked at this person.

"Is this the person I, Old Sun, am meant to protect...?" Sun Wukong muttered to himself, and then leaped down from the sky above Five Peaks Mountain.

The endless stones were also shaken down, falling downwards along with Sun Wukong.

"May Buddha have mercy~" Tang Sanzang looked at the earth shaking as if the sky were collapsing. He was riding on his horse without the slightest panic, and just kept chanting the sutra.

"Are you Tang Sanzang?" At some point, the surroundings had returned to silence, and Sun Wukong stood on a large rock, looking at Tang Sanzang and asking.

The master had already told him about escorting the person before him to the Lingshan Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou to seek the Mahayana Dharma at the Great Thunder Temple before he came.

Sun Wukong had always known about his destiny, but when he looked at Tang Sanzang at this moment, he felt a mix of emotions.

"This humble monk, Tang Sanzang, greets the benefactor!" When Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong, his previously worried gaze now seemed to be filled with a glimmer of hope.

"Very well, I am Sun Wukong, the master of Flower Fruit Mountain and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, a disciple of the deputy leader of the Intercepting Sect. From now on, I, Old Sun, will escort you to the West to obtain the scriptures!" Sun Wukong said to Tang Sanzang.

"I'm troubling you, fellow Daoist!" Tang Sanzang said, changing his tone.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong didn't say anything more. Instead, he put away his golden cudgel and walked ahead of the horse, heading west step by step.

Although Sun Wukong possessed the peak realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, this tribulation inevitably made him consider descending to the mortal realm.

Moreover, his journey from this place to Mount Ling in Xiniu Hezhou, through trials and tribulations, might bring Sun Wukong a great surprise in his understanding of the Dao.

This journey to Leiyin Temple on Mount Ling will certainly not be smooth sailing. The opponents and tribulations encountered along the way will all become the foundation for Sun Wukong's growth!

So a monkey, a man, and a horse set off towards Eagle's Sorrow Gorge.

During this period, Sun Wukong also went out to beg for alms and to find vegetarian meals and other food on several occasions.

Not only did Tang Sanzang eat, but even Sun Wukong seemed to follow the common people and began to experience trials.

However, when the group reached Eagle's Sorrow Gorge, it seemed that a power surpassing that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal emanated from the place, temporarily isolating Sun Wukong.

Before anyone could react, the mortal horse was swallowed by a dragon in Eagle's Sorrow Gorge. Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately pulled out his golden cudgel, and the immense power of this sacred artifact swept across the entire Eagle's Sorrow Gorge.

At the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he wielded the Ruyi Jingu Bang, unleashing its power to the level of a Quasi-Saint at the initial stage. In just a moment, the entire cave within Eagle Sorrow Gorge collapsed.

This made the demonic dragon unable to stay any longer, and it roared to the heavens and ran towards the sky.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh out loud. After activating the "Travel" technique, he found himself standing on the white dragon's body without realizing it, and began to punch it.

This white dragon is only at the peak of the Golden Immortal level. Although it is only one step away from breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, in Sun Wukong's eyes, it is just a small insect.

After six punches from Sun Wukong, the white dragon, which originally possessed extremely strong vitality, lost its momentum. It seemed that if Sun Wukong were to deliver a few more punches, the white dragon would perish in the primordial world.

"Great Sage, wait!"

"Great Sage, wait a minute~"

Suddenly a voice came from afar, and Sun Wukong stopped when he heard it. He saw a yellow dragon dressed in an apricot-yellow robe, looking like a Buddhist venerable one.

The faint, almost imperceptible aura of a mid-stage Quasi-Saint emanating from Huanglong caused Sun Wukong to raise an eyebrow upon seeing it.

"Who are you?"

"Greetings, Great Sage! I am Huanglong, a protector of Buddhism. This wretched creature has violated the heavenly rules and has been banished to this place. Unexpectedly, it has swallowed the Holy Monk's horse today, and has now been taught a lesson by the Great Sage. From now on, it shall serve as his mount, carrying the Holy Monk to Mount Ling to seek the Dao!"

"You wretched creature, return to your place at once!"

Huanglong roared angrily, and Bailong, whose aura had been somewhat weakened, immediately recovered from his injuries and regained his magical power.

"Ugh~"

The white dragon roared, and then its ten-thousand-foot-long body seemed to have used some great supernatural power, transforming into a white dragon horse in a moment.

Its hooves clattered across mountains and rivers, and when Tang Sanzang saw this white dragon horse, he couldn't help but smile faintly.

Sun Wukong had raised horses in the Heavenly Court in his past, so he naturally had the skill to recognize horses. Although the horse in front of him was transformed from a dragon, if the other party were to become a horse, his future achievements would probably be even greater than those of a dragon...

"The White Dragon Horse is the third son of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea. He is revered as the Third Prince of the Jade Dragon. He set fire to the bright pearl in the palace, and his own father appealed to the Heavenly Court, where he was sentenced to death. Fortunately, I rescued him. He was waiting for the pilgrims at Eagle's Sorrow Gorge on Snake Coil Mountain. Because he did not recognize the Holy Monk and the Great Sage, he swallowed the horse. Today, he must repay the karma!"

Huanglong looked at the Third Prince, who had transformed into a white dragon horse, and then smiled faintly as he told Sun Wukong about the other's origins.

Sun Wukong seemed thoughtful after hearing this, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Besides, the chainmail, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes he wore in the past were all gifts from the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

"If this wicked child does anything wrong in the future, I hope the Great Sage will teach him, and the Holy Monk will guide him." Huanglong cupped his hands and looked at Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang with a faint smile, then his figure gradually disappeared into Eagle Sorrow Gorge.

"Haha, with me here, you can rest assured!" Sun Wukong laughed loudly and in a flash, he mounted the white dragon horse.

"Giddy up!" Sun Wukong slapped the horse's rump, and the white dragon horse leaped up and galloped forward.

Sun Wukong rode on the white dragon horse, and his laughter echoed for miles around Eagle Sorrow Gorge.

Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang recited the Rebirth Mantra in Eagle Sorrow Gorge. The Netherworld seemed to sense this, and two ghost messengers came to take away the horses that had been swallowed by the white dragon.

Now that a great Buddhist master like Tang Sanzang has recited the Rebirth Mantra for him, he will surely have an extraordinary experience after entering the cycle of reincarnation.

…………

With the addition of the White Dragon Horse, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong's group gradually grew. Before they knew it, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong had traveled for 130 days. When they arrived at Gao Village, Sun Wukong, the White Dragon Horse, and Tang Sanzang all breathed a sigh of relief. (End of Chapter)
