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

Ying Zheng did not believe it at all.

Chu Qing was also helpless.

The Dragon King knelt down, crying, begging you to take away the treasures of his Dragon Palace.

Nobody believes that.

"Wukong, I ask you, did you take the Iron Needle that stabilizes the sea in the East Sea Dragon Palace?"

Chu Qing asked.

Sun Wukong exclaimed, "Master is indeed master; he even knows that I, Old Sun, have taken the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff)."

He replied, "Master, the Iron Ruyi Jingu Bang was a gift from the Dragon King of the East Sea, given to me, Old Sun, along with other treasures from this treasury."

Chu Qing became even angrier.

This monkey is talking nonsense; he can even make up something like the Iron Needle that stabilizes the sea as a free gift.

He said sternly, "Tell the truth, or I will punish you."

Sun Wukong was immediately frightened.

Although Chu Qing never punished Sun Wukong, in Sun Wukong's heart, his master held the highest position.

If the master punishes him, the consequences will be severe.

Ying Zheng joked from the side, "Senior brother, keep making things up."

"Junior brother, I also want to see how Master punishes you."

Sun Wukong quickly shook his head: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

"Master, the truth is..."

Sun Wukong recounted in detail his experiences in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Then, Sun Wukong whispered, "Master, I am not lying. These treasures were given to me by the Dragon King of the East Sea."

Chu Qing's expression changed, and she sternly questioned, "Wukong, you knew there were traps on the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) aimed at you, so why did you still take it away?"

Chu Qing sighed inwardly.

He never expected that Sun Wukong would bring the Golden Cudgel out of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

This will lead to a repeat of the same mistake.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Master, that old Dragon King is only at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Even if he schemes against me, I'm not afraid."

"Besides, you'll protect me. If we really encounter danger and can't fight back, I can hide in Peach Blossom Spring. What can they do to me then?"

Chu Qing shook his head: "Your disciple is thinking too simply."

"The Dragon King of the East Sea is a puppet; the one who is truly plotting against you from behind the scenes is a sage in the chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens."

"By then, you won't be able to escape. To face such scheming, you must have the strength."

"You're only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, not even as strong as your junior brother. Where does your confidence come from?"

Chu Qing thought to herself: "A monkey is a monkey; it loves to cause trouble without even realizing it."

Ying Zheng caused far more trouble than Sun Wukong, almost overturning the Heavenly Court.

Sun Wukong asked, "Are sages very strong?"

Ying Zheng whispered, "The sage is the Primordial Golden Immortal."

Sun Wukong understood.

Realizing that the one plotting against him was a Grand Luo Immortal, Sun Wukong understood the gap between himself and such a being.

He swallowed hard. "Master, you wouldn't let me fall into the hands of the Sage, would you?"

Chu Qing answered directly, "No."

"First, bring me the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the magic staff that stabilizes the sea, so I can take a look."

Sun Wukong immediately took out his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel).

"Thump!"

When the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magical staff) appeared, it was ten zhang tall and eight chi thick, emitting a deafening roar that shook the ground violently.

Chu Qing waved his hand.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang immediately shrank to the size of an ordinary stick and landed steadily in his palm.

He used his divine sense to probe the inside of the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

Laozi once used an alchemy furnace to refine this object for forty-nine days, so it's very likely that the Dao Ancestor tampered with it.

But Chu Qing's worries were unnecessary.

After careful examination, it was confirmed that this Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) was a purely acquired spiritual treasure imbued with merit.

Murder goes unpunished!

Chu Qing felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

He was invincible in the Peach Blossom Spring.

If the Golden Cudgel has any hidden secrets, he will surely be able to discover them.

Since nothing was found, it means that this treasure is indeed pure and flawless.

That makes sense.

Sun Wukong was personally chosen by Zhunti and Jieyin to be the pilgrim on the journey to the West, and will be the future guardian deity of Buddhism.

It's impossible for Laozi to have tampered with the Golden Cudgel.

"Take it."

Chu Qing handed the golden cudgel to Sun Wukong: "This golden cudgel has no hidden mechanisms, you can use it with peace of mind."

Sun Wukong respectfully said, "Thank you, Master!"

He then casually tossed the golden cudgel into his inner world.

This golden cudgel is completely incomparable to the demon ape staff.

If Sun Wukong were clear-headed, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to use the Golden Cudgel.

It's better to just leave it in your inner world and let it gather dust.

Chu Qing said directly, "Wukong, remember, the only way to fight against others' schemes is to improve your own strength."

"You're strong enough that no matter how many schemes your opponent has, you can crush them all with a single blow."

A sharp glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes; he clearly saw himself sweeping away all obstacles with a single blow of his staff.

Chu Qing took out something: "I have a drop of the essence blood of the Chaotic Demon Ape here. Take it and refine it."

"This thing can greatly improve your cultivation level."

After saying that, Chu Qing took out the drop of the Chaotic Demon Ape's heart blood from the system space and threw it to Sun Wukong.

When Sun Wukong saw the jade bottle flying over and learned that it contained the blood of the Chaotic Demon Ape, he was immediately invigorated.

Having learned from his previous experience, he was very careful this time, immediately mobilizing all his strength to catch the jade bottle steadily.

As expected.

Sun Wukong felt his body suddenly sink, and he almost lost his balance.

After regaining his footing, he exclaimed in surprise, "Master, the heart blood of this Demonic Ape is ten times more potent than the essence blood from last time!"

When Sun Wukong obtained the essence blood, he was only at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Now that he has broken through to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he still feels that the jade bottle is too heavy to hold steadily, and it is even heavier than before.

This proves that the blood from the heart of the Mischievous Demon Ape is extremely precious.

Ying Zheng said, "Senior brother, congratulations, your cultivation will definitely improve again."

He admired, but was not jealous.

He knew that his cultivation did not rely on external things; as long as he managed the Great Qin Holy Dynasty well, his cultivation would improve.

Sun Wukong said, "Junior brother, you've already reached your peak, while I'm still in the early stages. If I don't work harder, where will I put my face?"

After responding to Ying Zheng's congratulations, Sun Wukong said to Chu Qing, "Master, I must return to my room now."

"This disciple intends to refine the blood from the heart of the Chaotic Demon Ape contained in this jade bottle."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

Chu Qing called out to him, "Don't go, refine it right here."

"The blood of this chaotic demonic ape contains immense energy, as well as insights into the laws of its entire life."

"I'm afraid you can't handle this kind of power."

"If you refine it here and something goes wrong, I can help you immediately."

Sun Wukong was moved once again: "My master cares so much about his disciple."

He nodded and said, "Okay, Master."

He then sat cross-legged and began to refine the heart's blood in the jade bottle.

Chu Qing looked at the figure that Sun Wukong had refined, and anticipation flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "Since the monkey has refined the heart's blood of the Chaotic Demon Ape, its cultivation level will definitely increase significantly."

"I can also benefit from it."

After speaking, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Ying Zheng, put your senior brother's matter aside for now."

"Let's continue our previous topic."

Ying Zheng also looked away from Sun Wukong.

Xiang Chuqing asked, "Master, I have other questions about my cultivation."

Chu Qing nodded: "Just say it."

Ying Zheng continued, "I wish to annex the surrounding dynasties, but I cannot launch an offensive."

"Master, please advise me on what I should do?"
