Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Luo pointed a finger at Lingji Bodhisattva's back, killing him completely. The death energy destroyed his soul and severed all life force.

The powerful beings in this world are indeed formidable. Even if their heads are cut off, their death power still has a dual effect on both the body and the soul.

The god who controls death is that powerful.

Everyone present was stunned. Who could have imagined that the Bodhisattva of Mount Ling would die just like that, killed by this great supernatural being with a single finger?

"Hahaha! He's dead, you dog Lingji, you wicked Lingji, you're dead, you actually died, hahaha, good riddance, good riddance!" Of all the people present, none was happier than the Great Sage Yellow Wind.

He was terribly harmed by this Bodhisattva Lingji in his life. He originally wanted to protect a mortal land and only wanted to find a safe haven for the rat demons under his command.

Unexpectedly, he was framed by the other party in various ways. Even after becoming the other party's disciple, they never let him go, turning him into a monster.

"My goodness! Lord Wutian is truly amazing. This is a Bodhisattva from Mount Ling!"

"Even if his cultivation was not as high as Guanyin Bodhisattva's, he was still a Bodhisattva, and he was killed by a single finger!" the horse-headed man said.

Even the stone monkey Sun Wukong was extremely surprised at this moment. He had suffered a great loss when facing the Bodhisattva of Mount Ling. For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva could have captured him in an instant.

How exactly was Lingji Bodhisattva killed? Even though Old Sun's Fiery Eyes were no longer with him, he couldn't figure out the slightest thing.

But the monkey still had sharp eyesight, yet it couldn't figure out how the Bodhisattva had been killed.

"Huang Feng, are you willing to follow me?" Rod turned to look at Huang Feng and asked.

"Huang Feng! I, Old Sun, am telling you about this person, who is called the Great God Wutian, and is a great supernatural being."

"Following him will only bring benefits, not harm. I, Old Sun, was saved by this great god. You should think carefully." Sun Wukong immediately came to Huang Feng Dasheng and said.

"Hahaha! It seems that the Great God Wutian is indeed going to do something big."

"I am honored by the high regard of the Great God Wutian! Though I am not talented, I am willing to follow the Great God Wutian and serve as his vanguard." The Great Sage Huangfeng said with a hearty laugh.

"A wise choice, stand up and speak!" Rod pointed and a stream of life energy was injected directly into the body of the Yellow Wind Great Sage. He could see that the yellow-haired weasel had been tortured terribly.

He has very little life essence left in his body, and if it is not replenished, he could die at any moment.

In order to refine Sun Wukong's innate talent, he forcibly activated the Yellow Wind Formation for over a hundred years, which greatly consumed him, or rather, he also suffered some losses while at Mount Ling and with Bodhisattva Lingji.

With the infusion of vital energy, the Great Sage Huang Feng's condition improved at a visible speed. His originally frail and even somewhat hunched figure immediately became upright and tall, and his whole body looked more robust.

"Many thanks to the Great God Wutian for his help," said Huang Feng, kneeling before Luo De.

He was indeed a great master; he merely pointed at himself, and his life began to recover, even the lifespan he had lost began to return.

He originally thought he would live for another hundred years or so at most, but in his current state, he could live for at least another thousand years.

"Hmm! The creatures here shouldn't suffer like this. Go and gather all the humans who have turned into rat demons and their offspring. I will turn them back into humans. As for those who were originally rat demons, they don't need to come," Rhodes said.

"Great God Wutian, you are merciful! Great God Wutian, you are so kind! The entire nation of Daishari thanks you!" The old king burst into tears and said.

More than 500 years, a full 500 years!

The people of their nation were transformed from humans into rats by Lingji, and even gave birth to countless offspring, all of whom were rat demons. Today, they can finally break free from this curse.

"The people of the city are deeply grateful!" said Huang Feng, kneeling on the ground.

He owes the people of this place the most. Because of him, the people of this place were punished by the gods and Buddhas in heaven, and as a result, they became this inhuman, ghostly, and demonic state.

For hundreds of years, he has been filled with self-reproach, always fantasizing about refining Sun Wukong's innate abilities, and then obtaining great supernatural powers and magic to break the curse.

Unexpectedly, my wish has finally come true today.

After the Great Sage Huangfeng appeared, all the demons in Huangfeng Ridge quieted down and were reintegrated by the Great Sage Huangfeng.

The rat demons, who were originally from the demon race, naturally returned to the command of the Great Sage Yellow Wind. Some of the rat demons who were once human came, but some did not.

"Great God Wutian, the part of those who did not come are all descendants of the former citizens of the Shalli. Although we have all been turned into rat demons."

But very few people are truly capable of cultivation; most have already died and entered the cycle of reincarnation. Most of the citizens of the Kingdom of Sihari were born as rat demons, and this has been going on for over a dozen generations.” The Sand King knelt before Rhodes and spoke.

For hundreds of years, they have been rat demons since birth, and even their parents and grandparents were rat demons. Suddenly turning them into humans is not much different from when the Bodhisattva Lingji turned humans into rats.

These people, who were transformed into rat demons, no longer wish to revert to human form.

"Great God Wutian, since that's the case, let them continue to be rat demons. I will lead them. As long as I, Huang Feng, live, I will lead them," said the Great Sage Huang Feng.

Rhodes nodded, pointed downwards, and divine power enveloped all the rat demons who wanted to become human. Then, he used immense magic to remove their demonic forms and turn them back into humans.

This also includes the eldest son of the old king, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Shalli, who has gone completely insane.

"I...I've turned back." The eldest prince, who had lived in a daze for hundreds of years, looked at himself, who had turned back into a human, and said in disbelief.

"My son, for hundreds of years, you have become like this. For hundreds of years, we have finally returned to normal." The old king rushed to his eldest son and said.

"Brother is back, everyone's back, we've all turned back to normal," the somewhat mentally challenged second son said.

"Hahaha! The five-hundred-year curse has finally been broken."

After resolving the issues concerning the citizens of the Kingdom of Sharri, Rhodes used his life essence to restore the Stone Mother and allow her to manage the stone spirits within the mountains.

She promised the other party that she would try to persuade her husband and son to come back if the opportunity arose.

The stone father, stone mother, and stone child are not evil monsters, but mountain gods who guard this area.

Sun Wukong also retrieved his second innate ability, the Ear-Hearing Wrath, from the head of Lingji Bodhisattva.

The root essence re-integrated into Sun Wukong's body, and the monkey's body emitted a golden light, becoming even stronger and his magical power increased significantly.

Sun Wukong then found the local earth deity and had him melt down the remaining fragment of stone from Shi Gandang and forge it into an iron rod weighing about a thousand catties.

"This iron rod is a bit light, but it's barely enough. Once I've found all the root weapons, I'll retrieve the Ruyi Jingu Bang," Sun Wukong said, twirling the newly forged iron rod.

"I originally wanted to ask a god of forging to recast a suit of armor for you, but his craftsmanship is just too good."

"Even the worst weapon we can forge right now is a bit too good for you. Once you regain all your cultivation, I'll have him reforge your weapon and armor." Rhodes said.

In Luo De's opinion, Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang was just so-so; apart from being able to change size and weighing about 1 jin, it had nothing particularly outstanding about it.

As for his armor, it was merely stolen from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and was nothing more than ordinary armor, even slightly inferior to some of the armor in the Heavenly Palace.

"In that case, I, Old Sun, thank you very much. I've worn this outfit for hundreds of years, and it really is time for a change. Great God Wutian, where do you suggest we go next to find my innate talent?" Sun Wukong cupped his hands to Rod and asked.

"Of your remaining three root talents, one is with your elder brother, the Bull Demon King; one is with the Yellow Plum Buddha of Little Western Paradise; and the other is in the hands of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord of the Spider Cave," Rod said.

"In that case, Great God Wutian, let's go to the Flaming Mountain first! I'll teach that rebellious son a lesson for my elder brother, and then retrieve my own innate talent." Sun Wukong planted his iron rod in the ground and said with a cold snort.

He already knew what happened at Flaming Mountain from Little Black Horse, and he also knew about Red Boy. That brat is always causing trouble if you don't discipline him. This time, he must be taught a good lesson.

"Don't rush into this. A wild boar demon named Huangpao Yuanwai came earlier, saying that his elder brother is Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and that you have some dealings with Erlang Shen."

"I hope you can go to Little Western Paradise first, because your junior brother Pigsy has also headed there. If you don't go, that pig might die there," Rod said.

"Erlang Shen Yang Jian! Oh dear, I had forgotten about this. Erlang Shen did help me, and I never expected that after hundreds of years, he would still remember me!"

"And that fool, I never expected that after I, Old Sun, died, he would be the most loyal and righteous one. Back when we were on our journey to the West, he often tripped me up!" Sun Wukong said with a sigh as he slung his staff over his shoulder.

In truth, he did set up a scheme with Erlang Shen Yang Jian, but that scheme is no longer needed.

The memories he left with Erlang Shen Yang Jian are no longer of much use, since he has now come back to life.

The most important thing now is to retrieve my few innate treasures and restore my cultivation level; everything else can wait.

"In that case, you'll have to make a trip to Little Western Paradise to bring back Pigsy first, and then get the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha's weapon," Rod said.

"I, Old Sun, will handle this matter personally. I also have a score to settle with that Yellow-Eyebrowed Monster," Sun Wukong said.

Now that he has retrieved two root artifacts and received the life essence from the Great God Wutian, the monkey still possesses some fighting power.

"Alright! Then let's go, let's head to Little Western Paradise first," Rod said.

Wukong nodded upon hearing this, while Rod took action to eliminate all the rat demons in the Yellow Wind Ridge area, as well as the people of the Sihali Kingdom.

The demons and stone spirits under the Great Sage Huangfeng were all taken into his private space, and a place was found for them on the Little Garden Planet for them to live in for the time being.

This divine power once again shocked Sun Wukong. This great divine power actually contained a world, even more powerful than the Buddha's palm-sized Buddha Kingdom. To put it bluntly, his palm-sized Buddha Kingdom was just a country! This was a whole world!

The group soon arrived at Little Western Paradise, and Sun Wukong, wielding his golden iron cudgel, fought his way through.

The snow zombies and various monsters along the way were no match for the monkey. Soon, the group encountered a white-faced monkey, who turned out to be one of Sun Wukong's former warriors, the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey.

After Sun Wukong was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain, the Red-Bottomed Macaque ran away from Flower Fruit Mountain. After wandering around for a while, he became a disciple of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha.

"Impossible, impossible! You, you're not, you're not the Great Sage, you're not the Great Sage, you're fake, you're fake!" The red-bottomed macaque looked at Sun Wukong in front of him with disbelief.

"Monkey, you really don't even recognize your own grandfather? I, Old Sun, treated you well back then, so why did you pledge allegiance to this Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha?" Sun Wukong asked with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He had indeed wronged the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain back then. If they had gone to join someone else, Sun Wukong wouldn't have had anything to say. But the problem was, of all people to choose, he had to choose the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha.

"Oh, ho ho! I know, I know, don't try to fool me, you're the chosen one, right?"

"You are the chosen one Master spoke of, I will kill you, I will kill you!" The red-bottomed macaque raised its huge Miao sword and slashed directly at Sun Wukong.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said nothing more, grabbed his iron cudgel and attacked. Since you don't acknowledge me as the Great Sage, I'll beat you until you decide to stop.

The two fought, but after only a few rounds, Sun Wukong knocked the long knife out of the red-bottomed macaque's hand, then hit the red-bottomed macaque on the head with his staff, knocking him to the ground. He then kicked the red-bottomed macaque down and pointed his staff at his face.

"You haven't improved at all since you followed Huang Mei the Second, you're still the same as before!"

"You, you really are the Great Sage! Impossible! Grandpa Great Sage is dead! Dead!" The red-bottomed macaque let out a mournful scream.

"Old monkey, it really is me, it really is me, Old Sun, I'm back! I will never betray the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain again, never again!" Sun Wukong threw his iron rod on the ground and stepped forward to help the red-bottomed macaque up.

Faced with his former monkey offspring, the former Four Heroes of Flower Fruit Mountain, the monkey couldn't bring himself to kill them.

"Your Majesty! Waaah! I was wrong, Your Majesty, I was wrong! Kill me, kill me!"

"None of my monkey brothers who came out with me survived, not one of them survived!" The red-bottomed macaque cried out.

"I know, I, Old Sun, understand, you've suffered!"

"Go back to Flower Fruit Mountain now and tell all the monkeys that I, Old Sun, will be returning to Flower Fruit Mountain soon, and I will put the Great Sage Equal to Heaven sign back up," Sun Wukong said.

"I believe in you, Your Majesty. You can definitely do it. I'm going back now. I'll return to Flower Fruit Mountain right now."

"Be careful of this old Buddha Huangmei. He possesses your innate talent, which is hidden beneath the water of that lake ahead. It is the love of smell, your nose." The red-bottomed macaque pointed to the ice curling stone ahead and said.

"I know, you can go now! Don't worry, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Old Man's doomsday has come." After saying this, Sun Wukong saw off the Red-Bottomed Macaque, telling him to return to Flower Fruit Mountain first and tell all the monkeys that Sun Wukong was coming back.

I was indeed too selfish in the past. Because I wanted to get rid of the golden headband, countless monkeys and their offspring died because of me!

Sun Wukong led the way, while Rod and the others followed behind.

"Rhodes! Weren't you looking for something to cultivate soul energy? Now you're helping the monkey!" Azeroth asked.

"Hahaha! I am indeed going to help the monkey, and I already have a plan for cultivating my soul abilities," Rhodes said with a smile.

He had already obtained some of the cultivation techniques of this world, when he resurrected Sun Wukong and used the power of death to repair the other party's soul.

Everything about the other party was no secret to Rhodes; he could see all of Sun Wukong's memories.

While he was at it, Luo De also managed to get his hands on Sun Wukong's Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends, as well as the Great Celestial Immortal Technique taught by Patriarch Bodhi.

When he dealt with Lingji Bodhisattva, Luo De also extracted the Buddhist relic cultivation method from the other party's soul.

Now, Rhodes wants to obtain the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang from Zhu Bajie. He has already obtained the top Buddhist and Taoist mental cultivation techniques. All he needs to do is master the techniques of these two major sects.

Then he used the Time Artifact to solidify his foundation, raise his soul level, and consume the Primal God Power Fruit. He could then successfully break through to the level of a Primal God, and his strength would be dozens of times greater than it is now.

"I see. I thought you'd forgotten about the important matter!" Azeroth said.

"Hahaha, I can't forget! But all of Lingji Bodhisattva's Buddhist teachings are not enough; I need to search for more in Huangmei," Rod said.

To cultivate nature, one must cultivate the best techniques. Therefore, he needs to integrate the techniques of Buddhism and Taoism before beginning to learn the techniques of this world.

Luo De wants all of them: the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, the Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, and the Golden Body Relic Method of Buddhism and Taoism.

Azeroth nodded and said nothing more.

Soon the group arrived at the center of the frozen lake, where a slightly chubby little monk wearing a yellow robe and carrying a small bag appeared before them.

"You are the chosen one this time, hehe! Too many monkeys like you have come lately; my bag of acquired human seeds is almost overflowing. Come, let me see if you, monkey, are qualified to be my disciple," said the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha. (End of Chapter)
