Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong's fate-Chapter 41 - Cause and Effect It’s Finally Time to Leave

41 -41: Cause and Effect, It’s Finally Time to Leave

Countless thoughts flashed through Sun Wukong’s mind, and then he raised his head to look at Patriarch Bodhi.

“Honorable Master, I’d better not go after all.

Since the Ruyi Jingu Bang is in the Eastern Sea, it must be used for suppression.

If Old Sun were to take it out of greed, what if it causes some sort of change and leads to endless causality?”

“The Master once said that causality in the world hinders cultivation; too many karmic obstacles will eventually lead to self-destruction.

We cultivators should transcend the external!”

Sun Wukong had a point, and he even brought up what Patriarch Bodhi had deliberately left unsaid.

This indeed left Patriarch Bodhi without a fault to point out.

How could he answer?

Patriarch Bodhi was speechless.

He couldn’t answer.

After all, he couldn’t say that this was all planned for him, could he?

It took a while before Patriarch Bodhi could only sigh and say, “What you said makes sense, indeed.

It seems your teacher has overlooked that.”

Now it was impossible to have Sun Wukong immediately go to the Eastern Sea to fetch the Jingu Bang.

He could only agree, and as for how to persuade Sun Wukong to fetch it later, that was a matter for the future.

The urgent task at hand was to get Sun Wukong down the mountain first.

After all, if Sun Wukong didn’t descend the mountain, the Calamity of Measurement for the Journey to the West couldn’t begin.

How would he explain then?

Anyway, once Sun Wukong went down the mountain, as for how to get him to the Eastern Sea later, that could only be planned gradually.

“So does the Master mean…”

Now that Patriarch Bodhi had agreed, Sun Wukong naturally looked at him with a face full of anticipation.

“Enough, enough!”

Patriarch Bodhi smiled wryly, fortunately, he had originally intended to give something to Sun Wukong, so giving it to him earlier wouldn’t hurt.

In the midst of speaking, Patriarch Bodhi waved his horsetail whisk, and a brilliant golden light appeared before them, followed by the sudden appearance of a piece of battle armor.

“What is this?”

Seeing the golden armor, Sun Wukong’s face showed excitement.

Although he didn’t understand ranks, he could tell from the dazzling golden light that it was no ordinary object. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

“This object is an Ancient Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Xuantian Battle Armor, obtained by your teacher in ancient times.

It’s of no use in your teacher’s hands, so today I bestow it upon you!”

In order to hasten Sun Wukong’s departure from the mountain, Patriarch Bodhi truly spared no expense.

Though it was said that a piece of armor was supposed to be provided to Sun Wukong by the Buddhist sect through the Dragon Clan, it certainly wasn’t this one.

This one was indeed his own, and compared to the one intended for Sun Wukong, its rank was much higher, being a Post-Heaven Supreme Spiritual Treasure.

Its defensive power was exceedingly strong.

Of course, it was of little use to Patriarch Bodhi, but for Sun Wukong, it certainly counted as a Supreme Treasure.

“Thank you, Honorable Master, for your generous gift!”

Hearing that the object was actually an Innate Spiritual Treasure, Sun Wukong’s face revealed a surprised and delighted expression.

Without waiting for Patriarch Bodhi to say more, Sun Wukong swiftly took the Xuantian Battle Armor before him.

His speed was such that he seemed worried Patriarch Bodhi might go back on his word.

“You impudent monkey!”

Seeing Sun Wukong’s actions, Patriarch Bodhi couldn’t help but smile and scold him, though he didn’t say much more, but the implication was clear.

You’ve already taken the treasure; now, you should also be on your way.

However, to Patriarch Bodhi’s surprise, Sun Wukong showed no sign of wanting to leave.

Instead, after giving the Xuantian Battle Armor a few glances, he put it away.

Then he turned his gaze back to Patriarch Bodhi.

Seeing that pitiful look, even Patriarch Bodhi felt a chill in his heart.

Following that, Sun Wukong spoke again, “Honorable Master, now that Old Sun has a Protective Dharma Treasure, my Cultivation Level is still but that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and above the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, there is…”

“Just tell me!”

Even Patriarch Bodhi frowned and looked displeased upon seeing Sun Wukong like this.

“It’s like this.

I don’t know if the Ancestor Master still has any Nine-turn Golden Pills from last time?

I don’t need much, just a hundred or eighty pills should suffice.

I can use them for my usual cultivation.

After all, it’s really too dangerous outside.

If I cultivate properly and improve my cultivation level a little, Old Sun might have some ability to protect himself, so…”

As he spoke, Sun Wukong extended his hand, looking at Patriarch Bodhi with an expectant face.

Seeing him like this, how could Patriarch Bodhi be deceived again?

And even if he wanted to give them, he didn’t have any left.

These Nine-turn Golden Pills were refined by Daoist Ancestor Taiqing.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhunti had a fairly good relationship with Daoist Ancestor Taiqing, even that pill from last time might not have been available.

And this monkey was asking for a hundred or eighty at once?

Did he think they were beans?

“No!”

Patriarch Bodhi refused directly without any hesitation.

Besides, if Sun Wukong became so powerful, how would he embark on the Journey to the West Calamity later?

Upon hearing Patriarch Bodhi’s straightforward refusal, Sun Wukong was quite helpless.

“Honorable Master, your disciple also hopes to cultivate properly and not perish outside!”

Sun Wukong continued, speaking with a pitiful look on his face.

“Your teacher only has one left!”

With a bitter smile, Patriarch Bodhi flipped his hand and a golden pill appeared in it.

He then tossed it straight to Sun Wukong.

“Only one, huh?

I hope it can help me ascend a minor realm!”

Sun Wukong couldn’t help but mutter.

“If you find it too little, you can give it back to your teacher!”

Patriarch Bodhi almost spat blood; this was his last one, and even for them, such high-level elixirs were not commonly seen.

After all, the Nine-turn Golden Pill was not something even Daoist Ancestor Taiqing could refine easily.

It required numerous spiritual objects, a great deal of time, and the process was fraught with many dangers that could lead to failure.

When he was first invited to complete the Divine Enthronement Calamity, he was only given nine pills.

Now, there were only seven left.

Having given out two before, he only had five left, and still, this monkey thought it was too few?

If it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s relevance to the Journey to the West Calamity, he would have slapped this monkey to death long ago.

“What are you saying, Honorable Master?

Your disciple will treasure anything you bestow, let alone this Nine-turn Golden Pill!”

Sun Wukong laughed playfully and hurriedly put away the Nine-turn Golden Pill.

This time, Patriarch Bodhi didn’t wait for Sun Wukong to say anything else, and directly said, “Now that you have the protective treasure and this Nine-turn Golden Pill, can you perhaps…”

He stopped there without continuing.

Naturally, it meant to descend the mountain and go back where he came from.

“Your disciple has cultivated in the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave for eleven years and has become a great demon with the status of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, all thanks to Honorable Master.

Please accept my bow!”

Sun Wukong clearly understood the underlying meaning of Patriarch Bodhi’s words.

He straightened his expression, showing solemnity, stood up, and bowed deeply to Patriarch Bodhi.

“Karma and fate, the time has finally come for you to leave!”

Seeing Sun Wukong like this, Patriarch Bodhi breathed a sigh of relief.
