Journey to the West: Become stronger by taking on disciples, start by recruiting a demonized Sun Wuk

Thinking of this, the gods' frustration at being defeated by the Great Qin Dynasty immediately disappeared.

The Jade Emperor smiled, a rare occurrence for him: "Thank you for coming to inform me, Senior Brother. I am very pleased."

Bodhi Patriarch said, "This is my duty, it's not hard work."

"But I must first report something to the Jade Emperor."

"The originally designated pilgrim, Sun Wukong, has recently run into trouble..."

Next, Patriarch Bodhi explained Sun Wukong's situation in detail.

The immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Palace immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"Has Sun Wukong become a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

"This is troublesome. Our original plan was to pretend we couldn't beat him, but now we might really be outmatched!"

"Don't panic, everyone! The Jade Emperor will surely have a solution!"

"Who do you think is guiding Sun Wukong?"

"It must be some kind of saint!"

……

Hearing the whispers of the immortals, the Jade Emperor frowned.

Variables, yet more variables!

Upon hearing about the variable, the Jade Emperor became furious.

It was precisely because Ying Zheng was a variable that the Heavenly Court suffered a crushing defeat, making all the powerful beings of the prehistoric world laugh at them.

Another unexpected turn of events occurred with Sun Wukong, and the Jade Emperor still refused to believe that it was impossible for a monkey to turn the world upside down.

The Jade Emperor said nonchalantly, "Senior brother, it's alright, the plan will proceed as scheduled."

"Sun Wukong is merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal; he cannot cause great chaos in the Heavenly Court."

The Jade Emperor asked, "Junior brother, have you figured out who Sun Wukong's master is?"

The Bodhi Patriarch replied, "I couldn't figure it out."

"The Daoist Zhunti and the Daoist Jieyin tried to calculate the secrets of heaven, but they found nothing."

The Jade Emperor immediately understood what the Bodhi Patriarch was saying.

The other celestial beings also understood.

"I knew there must be a sage behind Sun Wukong."

"Who else but a sage could cause even quasi-sages and those destined to become sages to fail in their divinations of heavenly secrets?"

"Which sage do you think it is?"

"I bet it's the Tongtian Cult Leader!"

Behind the Lingxiao Palace.

The God of Wealth Zhao Gongming stood with the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, listening to the immortals' discussions and exchanging secrets with their divine senses.

"Brother, do you really think Sun Wukong has a master behind him?"

Bixiao asked directly.

Zhao Gongming replied with his divine sense: "I don't know. We haven't received any messages since Master went to Chaos."

Qiongxiao suddenly said, "Big brother, second sister, do you think it's possible that Sun Wukong's master and Ying Zheng's master were the same person?"

Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu, and Bixiao were all stunned and asked together, "Third Sister, why do you say that? What have you discovered?"

Qiongxiao replied, "I didn't find anything, it was just my intuition."

Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu, and Bixiao remained silent, shaking their heads and laughing at each other.

It turns out it was just intuition; that's so unreliable.

How could Ying Zheng's master and Sun Wukong's master be the same person!

Qiongxiao saw that they didn't believe her and tried to explain.

Just then, the Jade Emperor's voice rang out in the Lingxiao Palace: "All immortals, be silent!"

In an instant, the entire Lingxiao Palace fell into a deathly silence.

All the gods and immortals lowered their heads and shrank their necks.

After the Jade Emperor was defeated by the Great Qin Dynasty, his temper became unpredictable.

He often found excuses to punish gods and immortals.

Therefore, whenever the Jade Emperor is about to get angry...

All the gods and immortals in Heaven pretended not to see it.

After the hall returned to calm, the Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The Bodhi Patriarch came to the Heavenly Court this time to discuss important matters, and he was about to leave immediately after finishing.

"Jade Emperor, I'm leaving."

The Jade Emperor nodded: "Take care, senior brother!"

After Bodhi Patriarch left the Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor immediately reprimanded the immortals loudly: "There were distinguished guests in the hall just now, how dare you make noise! ​​What kind of behavior is this!"

The immortals quickly bowed their heads and admitted their mistake: "We are guilty, please punish us, Jade Emperor."

In the past, the Jade Emperor would let them go.

But today, the Jade Emperor directly ordered: "Each person will be fined a thousand years' salary, as a warning to others!"

The immortals were all stunned upon hearing this.

Deducting their salary for a thousand years is tantamount to taking their lives!

Ignoring the reactions of the immortals, the Jade Emperor, after punishing them, asked Taibai Jinxing, "Is the Heavenly Court ready for the Journey to the West?"

Venus respectfully replied, "Please rest assured, Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Court has already made all the necessary preparations."

The Jade Emperor then nodded: "Finally, there's one thing that satisfies me."

After leaving the Heavenly Court, Bodhi Patriarch secretly returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.

This time we came secretly.

He seized an opportunity to transform into a wisp of pure energy and enter the body of an old monkey.

Then they blended into the monkey troop.

Sun Wukong, who was only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, did not notice the old monkey possessed by Patriarch Bodhi and continued to drink and make merry with his monkey followers.

Occasionally, I would also teach them a few cultivation techniques.

Sun Wukong was preparing to cultivate in Peach Blossom Spring, so he cherished every day he spent on Flower Fruit Mountain.

On this day, Sun Wukong and his monkey followers all got completely drunk.

Bodhi Patriarch felt the time was right, so he possessed the old monkey's body and walked up to Sun Wukong and said.

"Your Majesty, you have been back for so many days, but I have not seen you carrying any weapons."

"Deep within the Water Curtain Cave of my Flower and Fruit Mountain, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea."

"The Dragon Palace of the East Sea contains countless treasures and many divine weapons."

"Your Majesty, you may go to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and ask the Dragon King for a suitable weapon."

Sun Wukong, upon hearing this, assumed the old monkey cared about him and did not suspect anything.

He was about to say that he already had weapons.

But then I remembered that the old monkey had mentioned that there were countless treasures in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

"I, Old Sun, am going to Peach Blossom Spring to visit my mentor, so I have to bring some gifts."

Sun Wukong decided to go to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea to find treasures to present to his master.

He asked the old monkey, "Is this true?"

The Bodhi Patriarch, who was possessing the old monkey's body, thought to himself, "The monkey's nature is greedy, and it can never be changed."

"I couldn't control myself as soon as I heard there was a treasure."

Bodhi Patriarch said to Sun Wukong, "Your Majesty, what this old monkey says is true."

Sun Wukong said happily, "Then this Great King will go and take a look at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea."

"You wait, I will bring back treasures to open your eyes."

After saying this, Sun Wukong transformed into golden light and, in front of all the monkeys, dived into the waterway of the Water Curtain Cave.

Bodhi Patriarch left the old monkey, thinking, "The plan has succeeded."

The old monkey immediately fell to the ground.

The other monkeys assumed he was drunk and didn't pay any attention.

Sun Wukong kept the instructions firmly in mind and was determined to bring back treasures to broaden their horizons; his face was full of anticipation.

Sun Wukong swam forward along the 843 waterways inside the Water Curtain Cave.

There are colorful corals and schools of fish along the way.

Soon, a celestial general with a human-like head and a yaksha-like body blocked his way.

"I am a sea patrol yaksha from the East Sea Dragon Palace. State your name!"

Sun Wukong, seeing that the other party was merely an earth immortal, said indifferently.

"I am Sun Wukong, the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, and your Dragon King's neighbor."

"Go and tell the Dragon King that I have arrived."

The sea patrol yaksha said, "You wait here, I'll go and report to the Dragon King."

The sea patrol yaksha turned and returned to the palace.

Sun Wukong wouldn't wait in the same spot; he immediately concealed himself and secretly followed the patrolling sea yaksha.

Soon, following the sea patrol yaksha, they arrived at the entrance of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

But Sun Wukong did not go in.

He came here to ask for something.

If they were to follow the sea patrol yaksha into the Dragon Palace invisibly, it would be tampering with a restricted area, and the nature of the matter would change.

So he revealed his true form and waited outside the palace gate.
