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

After many hardships, Zhunti and his fellow disciples Jieyin finally arrived at Zixiao Palace.

Upon seeing the Zixiao Palace, Zhunti and Jieyin immediately revealed their true nature.

They coughed up a lot of blood, their breathing became weaker than before, and they looked like they were on the verge of death.

Then, he fell down on the square in front of Zixiao Palace and crawled on his knees toward the gate.

As she crawled, tears streaming down her face, she cried out in a sobbing voice, "Teacher, you must seek justice for us!"

"The Supreme Lord Taiqing, in league with the Master of Heaven and the Primordial Lord of Heaven, secretly obstructs the development of Buddhism and sabotages the Journey to the West!"

"They couldn't distinguish right from wrong and beat my fellow disciples like this!"

"Master, the flourishing of Buddhism is ordained by Heaven. The Grandmaster of the Pure Land, the Master of the Heavenly Gate, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable are defying Heaven's will and are thus making enemies of you!"

"Master, you must stand up for your disciple and uphold justice!"

The voices of Cundi and Jieyin were extremely mournful, heartbreaking to hear.

Those unaware of the situation would see this scene and think that Taiqing Daozu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu were heinous villains, while Zhunti and Jieyin were good people who were being bullied.

However, Zhunti and Jieyin's performance did not elicit a response from Hongjun Daozu.

After crying and shouting for a long time, Zhunti and Jieyin realized something was wrong.

"Senior brother, why isn't Master responding to us?" Zhunti asked telepathically.

Jieyin responded, "Junior brother, this is very strange."

"We cried for a long time, but the teacher didn't respond."

"The teacher doesn't care about our situation."

Zhunti shook his head, certain that Hongjun wouldn't abandon them.

"Senior brother, the teacher is probably in seclusion and doesn't have time to take care of us."

Jieyin thought about it and agreed with Zhunti's opinion.

"Junior brother, the teacher is indeed in seclusion and has no time to care about us."

At this point, Zhun asked, "Senior brother, should we continue kneeling here and crying?"

The introduction was awkward for a long time.

Then, calmly, he said, "The teacher is in seclusion; we cannot disturb him."

"In that case, let's go back to the Pure Land to recover first."

"Once Master emerges from seclusion, we'll settle accounts with Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu!"

Zhunti understood the meaning of receiving guidance.

Those who uphold justice have disappeared.

Nobody watched the performance by the fellow disciples Zhunti and Jieyin.

They should have left sooner.

Zhunti nodded and smiled, "Senior brother is right."

After saying this, Zhunti and Jieyin immediately left Zixiao Palace without the slightest hesitation.

The Dao Ancestor Hongjun is suppressing the rebellion of the Heavenly Dao's origin.

This time, the turmoil in the origin of the Heavenly Dao was so fierce that Hongjun could not be distracted.

Zhunti and Jieyin came to find him, but he didn't notice.

On Sun Wukong's side, he used the Fighting Saint Technique, wielding the Demon Ape Cudgel, to break Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Demon-Subduing Staff with a single blow, shattering one of his arms.

They didn't stop, they continued their attack.

"You impudent monkeys! I told you long ago, when I go all out, you couldn't even withstand three moves from me! And you didn't believe me!"

"Do you believe me now?"

"Too late, take my baton!"

Sun Wukong immediately raised his golden cudgel and smashed it down on the head of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

With a single blow, space shattered.

The distant Di Ting cried out in alarm, "Master, don't move!"

After saying that, he wanted to rush over.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, however, revealed a fierce expression and loudly stopped them: "Listen, don't come any closer!"

"My master isn't that easy to kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva used his other hand to hold the Demon-Subduing Pagoda and block Sun Wukong's golden cudgel.

However, the Demon-Slaying Tower was very fragile and was directly shattered into dust.

At the same time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's arm, which was holding the pagoda, was smashed to pieces by Sun Wukong, leaving it a bloody mess!

Sun Wukong showed no mercy and swung his staff down again: "Take another blow from my old Sun!"

Despite the excruciating pain of his hand being smashed into a pulp, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued to defend himself.

This time, his vajra was completely shattered.

He also lost an arm.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva roared, "No, this cannot continue!"

"At this rate, I'll die at the hands of this monkey!"

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and murderous intent arose in his heart.

He threw all three remaining innate spiritual treasures—the Demon-Subduing Pearl, the Demon-Subduing Staff, and the others—at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong sneered, "Bald monk, you think you can hurt me with your few lousy magic weapons?"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Wukong swung his staff at the three magical treasures that were attacking him.

Just then, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly shouted, "Explode!"

"Boom!"

The three innate spiritual treasures exploded violently.

A violent explosion erupted right in front of Sun Wukong!

Sun Wukong looked serious.

He immediately activated his magic power, wielding the Demon Ape Staff to withstand the impact of the simultaneous explosion of the three innate spiritual treasures.

At the same time, they fought and retreated.

Although these three magical treasures are of ordinary quality.

But they are, after all, innate spiritual treasures!

The explosive power of the three magical treasures sent Sun Wukong flying thousands of miles away!

It slammed him hard into a mountain.

The mountain collapsed instantly, and only then did Sun Wukong stop.

"Boom!"

After a while.

Sun Wukong pushed away the rubble that was pressing down on him and soared into the air.

His sharp gaze swept towards the spot where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had been standing.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has disappeared.

"Trying to run away?"

Even though Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fled, Sun Wukong remained calm.

Instead, he channeled his magic power to the fullest, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, two beams of light shot out from Sun Wukong's eyes, piercing through the heavens and earth—this was his innate ability to see through illusions with his golden pupils.

It can distinguish between reality and illusion, and directly points to the source.

After Sun Wukong was born, he ate mortal food from Flower Fruit Mountain for a long time, which caused him to be unable to use his innate supernatural powers.

After mastering the Nine Transformations of the Demonic Ape, his supernatural powers were restored.

"So this is where it was!"

A startled shout echoed through the underworld.

Two golden beams pierced through the heavens and earth, shooting precisely towards the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Golden light pierced through the blood-red barrier and shone directly on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha was shocked, his face filled with disbelief. He hadn't expected Sun Wukong to find him so quickly.

"Bald monk, prepare to die!"

Sun Wukong found Ksitigarbha and would not let him go.

He swung the Demon Ape Cudgel and struck Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from a distance.

The Demon Ape Staff tore through the void and instantly arrived in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Damn it!"

He managed to escape by detonating three innate spiritual treasures, but he still couldn't shake off Sun Wukong's pursuit.

Even if he hides deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea, this monkey can still find him.

"You want to kill me, Ksitigarbha? Dream on!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva roared, exerting all his strength to activate his protective divine light, throwing out the magical treasures within his body one by one.

There was only one goal: to block the demonic ape staff that was hurtling towards us!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The Demon Ape Cudgel swept through everything in its path, piercing through all of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical treasures.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With murderous intent in his eyes, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva detonated all the thrown magical treasures.

This finally held back the Demon Ape Staff.

Its power has been greatly reduced.

But at this critical moment, the Demon Ape Cudgel still struck Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's layers of protective supernatural powers were easily shattered by the Demon Ape's staff.

The Demon Ape Staff swept through everything in its path, tearing apart all defenses and slamming into the sixteen-foot-tall golden body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"ah--"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva let out a piercing scream, which shook the entire underworld!

The lower half of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's body was completely destroyed by the Demon Ape Cudgel.

The power of the Demon Ape Staff was also exhausted.
