Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong's fate-Chapter 51 - Is this monkey not planning to leave Mount Huaguo anymore
51: Chapter 51 Is this monkey not planning to leave Mount Huaguo anymore?
51 -51 Is this monkey not planning to leave Mount Huaguo anymore?
The Demon King of Chaos occupied Sun Wukong’s cave dwelling and injured his monkey subjects to provoke Sun Wukong’s murderous intent and arrogance.
This was necessary to establish the cause for his eventual suppression.
Once the Demon King of Chaos was killed, Sun Wukong would surely start to look forward to the treasures, and they could smoothly guide him towards the East Sea Dragon Palace.
However, now that Sun Wukong was not fooled, and since they couldn’t force him, they had no choice but to abandon this part of their plan.
They believed that once Sun Wukong learned there was no longer the threat of the Demon King of Chaos, he would certainly not remain within the confines of the formation indefinitely.
“Brother is right, Amitabha Buddha!”
Moonlight Bodhisattva nodded, a trace of joy appearing on his face.
The concern in his heart completely vanished.
With the Demon King of Chaos gone, Sun Wukong naturally had no need to continue hiding like a scared turtle within his cave dwelling.
Thinking this, Moonlight Bodhisattva’s fingertips glowed, the light piercing into the Sea of Consciousness of the Demon King of Chaos in an instant.
The Demon King of Chaos’s expression changed, and he took two steps back.
Before he could speak, his breath stopped abruptly, and his burly body crashed down, creating a thunderous noise.
“Amitabha Buddha!”
Seeing this, Sunlight Bodhisattva brought his hands together, softly chanting the Buddha’s name, then vanished from Mount Huaguo in a flicker.
Although this part of their plan was not perfect, with Sun Wukong not falling for it, but with the Demon King of Chaos now dead, they could somewhat justify themselves.
As for when Sun Wukong would come out, it was no longer their concern.
After that, they would just wait at the Dragon Palace for Sun Wukong to emerge from the formation.
Following the life and death of the Demon King of Chaos, and after Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva had both departed, Sun Wukong’s figure also emerged from the formation.
Of course, this was still a Transformation using his monkey fur.
Looking at the massive body of the Demon King of Chaos collapse and fade from existence, then glancing in the direction where Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva had left,
his eyes shined with a golden light filled with puzzled curiosity.
“What is Buddhism up to?
Why are they conspiring against me, Old Sun?”
Although he was aware of the people from Buddhism behind the Demon King of Chaos, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva were separated by a Formation when they spoke, so he had no clue what the two monks had discussed.
Nor could he understand why the two monks wanted to kill the Demon King of Chaos.
After a long while, a flash of sudden realization crossed Sun Wukong’s eyes.
“Could it be because of the Demon-Subduing Pestle?”
Besides this matter, he could think of no other reason.
He had not delivered the Demon-Subduing Pestle into the hands of Buddhism, and according to Patriarch Bodhi, the Golden-Winged Roc King had stolen it and descended to the lower realm to become a demon.
It was clear that the Demon-Subduing Pestle was of great importance to Buddhism, and since he had not delivered it, the treasure had fallen into other hands, prompting Buddhism to create such turmoil.
“But this Buddhist sect is really petty; I, Old Sun, have already sent the item to the Western Paradise.
If you didn’t safeguard it properly, how would I know others would covet your treasure!”
“Have the guts to go after the Golden-Winged Roc King, why hold me accountable?”
Once Sun Wukong affirmed his thoughts, he glared fiercely in the direction Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva had left.
He then secretly decided that if he encountered people from the Western Buddhist Sect in the future, he would avoid them if possible – they were too petty.
Furthermore, once his cultivation reached success, if he encountered the Golden-Winged Roc King, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
He then turned and returned to his cave dwelling.
Although he now knew it was the petty maneuvers of Buddhism that had targeted him, and it seemed he might be able to deal with these two monks himself,
still, the power of Buddhism was vast, teeming with countless strong figures, and with Saints overseeing it, he had no desire to provoke such a formidable entity.
Of course, that was only for now.
He now possessed the treasures of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, and perhaps he could cultivate quite a few monkey descendants into Demon Kings.
Even if he couldn’t turn all his monkey descendants into formidable beings, he could still enhance their ability to protect themselves.
But now he had to worry about preventing others from disturbing them.
Looking at the formation before him, despite its current strength, it was obviously still insufficient.
Especially since the intrusion by the Demon King of Chaos had shown that the formation was not formidable enough.
At this thought, Sun Wukong’s expression became a bit solemn.
“Since the formation can be broken, but if it operates in a cycle, transferring anyone who enters or even approaches to several nearby formations, then naturally they won’t be able to approach the cave dwelling!”
His formation was a composite one, originally composed of several great formations.
Unless all of his formations were broken, his defenses wouldn’t be breached.
Even if someone truly managed to enter, he could set up a teleportation array within it.
Should there be any danger, he could immediately transport all his monkey descendants away.
“It’s just a pity that if my brother were here, my formation would surely be more perfect,” he lamented while looking at the formations with a sense of helplessness and loss.
With his current mastery of formations, he was far from reaching Wang Yang’s level.
Using nature as the formation, changing nature itself.
“I wonder how long it will take for me to reach my brother’s level!” Sun Wukong muttered to himself.
Even though he had now reached the cultivation level of a Daluo Golden Immortal, he was still quite distant from the top powerhouses in the Three Realms.
Setting aside others, those two monks from earlier seemed to be in the early stage of Great Luo.
He appeared to be able to deal with them, but whether they, like him, had concealed their cultivation level, no one knew.
If he encountered that Golden-Winged Roc King again, as well as that terrifying and mysterious being who could move mountains and drain seas with a gesture.
Since leaving the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, he had already encountered quite a few powerful beings.
And that was just the tip of the iceberg in the Three Realms.
Just how many powerful beings the Three Realms really held was beyond his imagination.
“My brother did not deceive me; the Three Realms are indeed filled with countless dangers, and there is no shortage of top powerhouses.
My cultivation at the early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal is truly modest!”
“I must be careful, I must be cautious!” Sun Wukong thought while altering the formation.
Only after thoroughly modifying the formation did Sun Wukong start consuming spiritual medicine and elixirs to cultivate.
Everything was still too dangerous for him at the moment.
He must improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
Why bother seeking treasures outside or making friends?
It was out of the question.
Without absolute strength, Sun Wukong had no intention of leaving his cave dwelling.
Especially now that he knew those monks were up to no good.
Cultivation knows no years, and in the blink of an eye, more than a decade had passed.
Mount Huaguo went through the cycle of spring and autumn without much change.
But the monkey descendants, having learned of the dangers of the outside world, had started to cultivate.
They absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, cultivating their mana.
The cave dwelling on Mount Huaguo where Sun Wukong lived had been fortified impregnably.
While Sun Wukong focused on steady development on his end, at the Dragon Palace, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, along with others, had been waiting for over a decade without any sign of Sun Wukong’s arrival.
“Is this monkey not planning to leave Mount Huaguo anymore?
How will the Journey to the West proceed?”
