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

The words of the Dragon King of the East Sea piqued Sun Wukong's interest.

This black iron pillar has an extraordinary origin.

Sun Wukong approached and reached out to touch the iron pillar.

As soon as he touched the iron pillar, it made a cracking sound and many cracks appeared on its surface.

Golden light shone out from the crack.

In just a few seconds, the iron pillar was covered with cracks, and the Dragon Palace Treasury was illuminated by golden light.

The next moment, all the black substance on the surface of the iron pillar fell off, revealing a golden pillar.

The pillar is inscribed with: Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

Sun Wukong looked puzzled. What was going on? The pillar was already peeling off as soon as they met?

The Dragon King of the East Sea exclaimed in amazement, "Divine creatures can hide themselves, but they reveal themselves when they encounter their master."

"Great King Sun, it seems you have a special connection with this Sea-Stabilizing Iron Needle!"

Sun Wukong: What do you mean? We're destined to be together?

"King Sun, what are you waiting for? Quickly take away this Sea-Stabilizing Iron Needle."

The Dragon King of the East Sea grew anxious when he saw that Sun Wukong had no reaction.

He believed that Sun Wukong was too shocked to react.

He thought to himself, "The monkeys in these mountains must be terrified right now."

But he was soon proven wrong.

"Old Dragon King, I, Old Sun, will not accept this Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff)."

"Although it has a connection with me, Old Sun, I don't think much of it."

"This thing is far inferior to the Demon Ape Staff that my Master Sun gave me!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea was instantly stunned!

What, you don't like it?

You, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, dare to say such things!

What exactly is this "Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron"? It is a divine artifact used by Yu the Great to control the floods, and it is a spiritual treasure forged by Laozi himself!

Murder goes unpunished!

Many heroes would fight tooth and nail for it, yet you, a country bumpkin, dare to say you don't even want it!

The Dragon King of the East Sea was furious.

He felt he had to make Sun Wukong understand the value of this treasure.

So he immediately said, "King Sun, you certainly don't understand how powerful this Sea-Stabilizing Iron Needle is."

"so……"

Sun Wukong interrupted him directly: "Old Dragon King, you don't need to say anything more."

"Although this 'Sea-Stabilizing Needle' iron is destined for me, its grade is too low; I don't want it."

"I appreciate your kindness!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea was completely stunned.

Sun Wukong's expression didn't seem to be lying; his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at the Iron Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

The Dragon King of the East Sea was extremely angry, and his heart was roaring!

What's going on here?!

He couldn't understand why a monkey from the countryside would be so indifferent to the Iron Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff used to stabilize the sea).

This absurd thing really happened!

The Dragon King of the East Sea suddenly realized a terrible truth.

Sun Wukong is no longer interested in the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), so how should he give it to Sun Wukong?

We absolutely cannot let Sun Wukong fail to take away the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), otherwise the Dragon Clan's years-long plan will have completely failed.

"No, we must let this monkey take the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Sea-Stabilizing Needle Iron)!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea had a determined look in his eyes.

He desperately praised how powerful the Iron Ruyi Jingu Bang was, but Sun Wukong didn't want to listen at all.

Sun Wukong came to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea only to find some treasures to bring back to Peach Blossom Spring and give to Chu Qing.

The Dragon King of the East Sea kept nagging, which annoyed Sun Wukong greatly.

They immediately realized something was wrong.

The Dragon King of the East Sea was determined to give himself the Iron Sea-Stabilizing Needle.

There's a problem here.

Wukong thought.

He suddenly remembered a book he had read: "The Legend of Wukong".

The book says that all gods and Buddhas are playing power games.

This made Wukong no longer as innocent and naive as before.

So, when he sensed something was wrong, Sun Wukong stared at the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Old Dragon King, you really want me, Old Sun, to take away this Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff)!" Wukong said.

The Dragon King of the East Sea suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Oh no, we were in too much of a hurry! Wukong has spotted us!"

The Dragon King secretly regretted it.

But he still smiled and said, "King Sun, you're overthinking it. Old Dragon thinks this magic needle iron is a treasure, and that you have a special connection with it."

"Isn't it a waste to leave it in the treasure vault without taking it with you?"

Wukong smiled.

The Dragon King's expression confirmed his guess.

The Dragon King of the East Sea wanted to give him this iron needle that stabilizes the sea.

Sun Wukong wasn't afraid; instead, he looked at the treasures on the shelf and had an idea.

He said, "Old Dragon King, we are neighbors. As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

"There must be a reason why you insist that I take the Iron Needle of the Sea."

"Come on, tell me why."

"So, you give me all the treasures in your vault, and I'll take this Sea-Stabilizing Iron Needle for free. Do you agree?"

Sun Wukong's words were very direct.

If you want to take the Iron Needle that Stabilizes the Sea, you have to give him all the treasures in the treasury.

You can't take the Iron Pillar that stabilizes the sea away.

The Dragon King of the East Sea was dumbfounded!

He stared at Sun Wukong, his fingers trembling: "You...you..."

Sun Wukong sneered, "Old Dragon King, do you think I'm a country bumpkin?"

Boom!

These words terrified the Dragon King of the East Sea.

He collapsed to the ground, waving his hand: "King Sun, take whatever you want."

"I'm giving this to you as a gift!"

After saying this, the Dragon King of the East Sea felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

The entire treasure trove was accumulated by the dragon race over hundreds of years.

Now they've all been taken by Sun Wukong.

In the eyes of the Dragon King of the East Sea, this was blatant robbery!

He was filled with regret and wanted to slap himself hard.

It was all because I was too impulsive just now and accidentally revealed my thoughts, which were seen through by Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong then seized the opportunity to threaten him with the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) and stole the treasure.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss.

But the Dragon King of the East Sea said that for the sake of the dragon race's great cause, this loss is nothing.

Sun Wukong sneered and said, "The old Dragon King is very generous, thank you!"

With a wave of his hand, he took away all the treasures in the vault, including the Iron Pillar that stabilizes the sea.

After taking the treasures, Sun Wukong said to the Dragon King of the East Sea, "Old Dragon King, I didn't steal these."

"You asked me to take it."

"Don't let anything slip after I leave."

The Dragon King of the East Sea nodded expressionlessly: "King Sun, rest assured, I keep my word."

"Having said I would give it to you, I will never take it back."

"I will never go back on my word!"

"King Sun, it's getting late, I must see you out."

The Dragon King of the East Sea no longer concealed his intentions and directly invited guests to their journey.

Sun Wukong didn't want to stay any longer. He knew that the Dragon King of the East Sea had other plans and was definitely not a good person.

"That's perfect, I was just about to leave."

"Please, Old Dragon King, lead the way!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea led the way with a blank expression.

Soon, he sent Sun Wukong out of the Dragon Palace.

"The old Dragon King is so hospitable, I will come to visit often in the future!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand and shouted, his figure gradually disappearing.

His words frightened the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Do you still want to come?

You have emptied my treasure trove.

If you do this a few more times, you'll rob the entire Dragon Palace.

The Dragon King of the East Sea immediately returned to his palace and ordered: "From this moment forward, the East Sea Dragon Palace shall be closed for a hundred years and shall not be opened again!"

……

An hour has passed.

The Dragon Kings of the North Sea, West Sea, and South Sea traveled along the waterways connecting the four seas and once again arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Upon meeting, the three hurriedly asked, "Big brother, how did things go?"

"Did the monkey take away the magic iron needle that stabilized the sea?"

The Dragon King of the East Sea replied dejectedly, "Yes, it was stolen by the monkey."

The Dragon Kings of the North Sea, West Sea, and South Sea looked at each other, completely puzzled.

"Brother, it's a good thing the monkey took the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), why are you looking so worried?"

"What exactly happened?"
