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

Seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I allow you to read with your mental power."

Ying Zheng had previously decreed that the use of mental power was prohibited in the Hall of State Affairs.

Now he's deliberately breaking this rule.

The ministers immediately focused their attention on the book in Li Si's hands.

But everyone was shocked when they saw the contents.

They found that they recognized all the words in the book, but couldn't understand the meaning at all!

The officials looked at each other, all staring at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng calmly said, "Keep watching, and you will understand."

Li Si immediately turned the pages and began to read carefully.

The contents of the book are indeed as Ying Zheng described.

After reading the book, the courtiers were all shocked; they were so excited that their faces turned pale.

Li Si's hands trembled as he held the book, his voice unsteady as he asked, "Your Majesty, where did this book come from?"

"This book truly lives up to its reputation!"

"We are so lucky to have received this book!"

"I am so fortunate!"

The other ministers echoed, "Your Majesty, with this book, the Great Qin will have a solid foundation for governing the country!"

"To obtain this book is a stroke of luck for the Qin Dynasty, a blessing for its officials, and a blessing for its people!"

Like Ying Zheng, the courtiers were captivated by the book's contents.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with their reaction and felt extremely pleased.

"My lords, this book was given to me by my teacher."

"You must study the contents of this book carefully, combining theory with practice to enhance the national strength of our Great Qin. Do you understand?"

The officials answered in unison, "Your Majesty, we obey!"

The officials were even more shocked.

This extraordinary book was a gift from His Majesty's teacher, I see!

Only someone like His Majesty's teacher could write such a book.

The officials were all very curious about who His Majesty's teacher was, but they knew it was not a question they should ask.

They could only imagine what that person looked like in their minds.

……

After Sun Wukong returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.

He immediately shouted, "Children, prepare a feast!"

"The King is in high spirits today and will drink with everyone for three days and three nights!"

Having reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Sun Wukong must celebrate properly.

The king's command has been issued.

The monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain immediately cheered and brought over jars of monkey wine.

Sun Wukong picked up a jar of wine and drank it all in one go.

He doesn't need cultivation to protect himself or magic to sober up when he drinks.

After drinking jar after jar, Sun Wukong and all the monkeys became drunk and unconscious.

"Hooray~~"

Soon, snoring filled the air.

Sun Wukong also started snoring.

At this moment, two spirits dressed as ghost messengers emerged from the ground.

They carried soul-hooking clubs and soul-binding chains, and slowly approached Sun Wukong.

"Snoring~~~"

Sun Wukong was snoring loudly and didn't notice the two underworld messengers approaching.

These two underworld messengers were named Ah Da and Ah Er.

When Ah Da and Ah Er got close to Sun Wukong, their hearts raced.

"Big Brother, this monkey has become a Great Immortal. If he wakes up and finds us, he'll smash us into mincemeat!"

Ah Er's voice was filled with fear.

Ah Da was actually very scared too.

But he pretended to be calm and said, "Ah Er, don't be afraid. We have the divine power of the Goddess Pingxin, which has already concealed the secrets of heaven."

"That monkey can't detect us at all."

"And look, he's dead drunk, he's definitely not going to wake up."

Now is a good time to take action.

Ah Er was still uneasy and asked again, "You said this monkey is a Great Immortal, can our Soul-Hooking Cudgel and Soul-Binding Chains deal with him?"

Ah Da tapped Ah Er: "You're foolish!"

"Have you forgotten what Yama, the King of Hell, instructed?"

"Both the Soul-Binding Chains and the Soul-Hooking Cudgel are blessed with the magical power of Lady Pingxin."

Even if this monkey were a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even a Quasi-Saint, I could still draw out his soul!

After hearing this, Ah Er stopped talking.

The two underworld messengers approached Sun Wukong in fear.

Sun Wukong didn't notice them, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They raised their magic staffs and reached out to hook Sun Wukong from a distance.

In an instant, Sun Wukong's soul was extracted from his body.

Ah Er immediately used the Soul-Binding Chain to bind Sun Wukong's soul.

"Hurry up, don't delay."

Ah Da urged them on, and the two of them grabbed Sun Wukong's soul and quickly fled to the underworld.

They took Sun Wukong's soul and went directly into the underworld.

After walking the road to the underworld and passing through the gates of hell, you finally arrive at the solemn Yama's Palace.

At this moment, Sun Wukong's soul slowly awoke.

The majestic voice of Yama, the King of Hell, rang in his ears.

"Who are you? State your name!"

The King of Hell's voice was as piercing as the clanging of metal, and Sun Wukong immediately regained full consciousness.

Realizing that he was bound by the Soul-Locking Rope and brought to this place.

He immediately became angry.

The chains were broken by his magic and fell to the ground, staring at Yama, the King of Hell.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you capture my soul and bring it here?"

Sun Wukong questioned loudly.

King Yama was also enraged: "You insolent wandering soul, how dare you make a scene in the Yama Palace! What is your punishment?!"

Sun Wukong frowned: "The Hall of Yama?"

He looked up and saw the three large characters "Yanluo Hall" written on the plaque in the center of the hall.

At this moment, Judge Cui came out, carrying his judge's pen and the Book of Life and Death.

"Sun Wukong, you are from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain. Your lifespan is 342 years. Today is your death day."

"Sun Wukong, did you understand what I said?"

Sun Wukong looked at Judge Cui: "Who are you?"

Judge Cui said, "I am Judge Cui of the Underworld, and the one sitting above me is King Yama."

"We deal with the matter of birth, death, and reincarnation!"

"Sun Wukong, your lifespan has come to an end, as clearly written in the Book of Life and Death."

"We are ordered to capture your soul; that's the rule."

"You caused a ruckus in the underworld the moment you entered; what punishment should you receive?"

Judge Cui's words made Sun Wukong understand.

These people were telling him that he was dead.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Sun Wukong laughed seven times.

Laughter echoed through the Yama's Palace, shaking the roof beams.

"Bang!"

King Yama slammed his fist on the table and roared, "You audacious monkey! How dare you laugh so loudly in the Yama Palace! You have no respect for the Underworld!"

Judge Cui roared, "Sun Wukong, what are you laughing at!"

Sun Wukong sneered, "I, Old Sun, am already a Golden Immortal, roaming freely in the Three Realms, unbound by the Five Elements."

"The underworld can't control me!"

"If you bring my soul here today and don't give me an explanation, I'll tear this underworld down!"

After saying this, Sun Wukong released the aura of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, his oppressive power directly threatening Judge Cui and King Yama.

"Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

King Yama and Judge Cui were so frightened they exclaimed, "This is impossible!"

This monkey just broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, how can it possess such peak-level pressure? This power is too strong!

"Sun Wukong, stop! Please spare my life!"

Judge Cui trembled as he begged for mercy.

The terrifying pressure made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Sun Wukong withdrew his aura, his tone icy: "Speak, what's your reason?"

Judge Cui hurriedly raised the Book of Life and Death and said loudly, "Sun Wukong, if you don't believe me, look at this Book of Life and Death for yourself."

"It is clearly written above that your lifespan expires today. This is fate, and we dare not take your soul without authorization."

Sun Wukong frowned and gave a cold laugh.

He immediately jumped in front of Judge Cui, snatched the Book of Life and Death, and carefully flipped through it.

The Book of Life and Death reads: "Sun Wukong, a native of the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, with a lifespan of 342 years, will die today."

"The Book of Life and Death also records in detail the lifespans and dates of death of all the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain."
