77 -77: Erase the Names of Your Monkeys and Their Offspring
Originally, I thought Sun Wukong would raise some objections, or even make some demands, which could be negotiated.
But instead, this monkey wanted to go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation again.
What good is there in the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
King Qin Guang gave a bitter smile and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “This, this, this cannot be done, Great King, as a Fortune Virtue Golden Immortal with endless lifespan, should not enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation!”
“Although we are the helmsmen of the Underworld, we must also carry out the will of Heaven.
Now that the Great King’s lifespan has not yet ended, if we hastily send the Great King to reincarnation and the Celestial Court blames us, we cannot bear the responsibility!”
As soon as Sun Wukong spoke these words, King Qin Guang immediately shook his head repeatedly, saying it was impossible to agree.
What kind of monkey is this?
Others don’t want you to go to reincarnation, but you insist on going!
“Great King, how about we consider this option?”
With no options left, the silent Cakravala finally spoke up, “Since this matter arose because of the Underworld and caused the Great King undue grief, how about we compensate the Great King with a treasure?”
A treasure?
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up.
By now, he had somewhat realized that it was impossible for him to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Although the Ten Yama Kings were speaking nicely now, it was possible that as soon as he left, they might plot against him again.
Immediately, he shook his head and said, “You speak well, saying you will give Old Sun a treasure in hopes of resolving this matter, but once it’s over, it’s not impossible that you will still take the opportunity to scheme against Old Sun!”
These Ten Yama Kings had already brought him down once, who knows what else they might plan.
So now the Ten Yama Kings want to settle this grudge once and for all, but what if they still scheme to harm him?
He had to be cautious.
After all, his senior brother had told him during a break in cultivation, that behind the Underworld was the Celestial Court.
Now that Buddhism was scheming against him, he was already somewhat troubled; he didn’t want the Celestial Court to come looking for trouble too.
So, while he liked treasures, there was no way he could simply agree.
At first, when the Ten Yama Kings saw that Sun Wukong seemed somewhat interested, they didn’t expect him to hesitate immediately.
But at least there was a chance to send this monkey away.
They then asked, “Great King, if there are any concerns, feel free to express them.
If possible, we will surely try our best to satisfy them!”
If it meant getting Sun Wukong to leave, paying a slightly higher price was also acceptable!
“Really?”
At these words, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Sun Wukong’s face.
“Naturally, it’s true!”
Seeing that Sun Wukong had relaxed slightly, the Ten Yama Kings hurriedly nodded, fearing that Sun Wukong might back out at the last minute.
Sun Wukong watched as the Ten Yama Kings nodded without any hesitation.
Sun Wukong nodded and then continued, “If that’s the case, then all of you first swear a Heavenly Dao oath that after this matter, you won’t trouble Old Sun again or retaliate against me for any reason!”
This statement essentially blocked the Ten Yama Kings from retaliating against him for any reason.
It included the Celestial Court behind the Ten Yama Kings as well.
Although Sun Wukong didn’t know how strong the Celestial Court was, the fact that it could govern the Three Realms showed its power.
Even Buddhism had to humble itself by three parts.
Who knows how many top powers were hidden within it.
Thus, he absolutely had to demand they make this Great Dao oath.
Originally, the Ten Yama Kings still had smiles on their faces when they heard Sun Wukong’s first request, but upon hearing that Sun Wukong wanted them to swear a Great Dao oath.
Their expressions all looked rather grim.
Was this little matter really necessary?
At first, they thought that Sun Wukong was too obedient, but now it seemed he was quite troublesome.
“Enough, enough, since the Great King has already spoken thus, let’s do as the Great King says!”
The Ten Yama Kings exchanged glances, and devoid of any other options, they felt obliged to do as Sun Wukong had said.
They had no choice, they were genuinely worried that Sun Wukong might cause more trouble, which would then become their problem.
Consequently, with reluctance, they made a vow to the Heavenly Dao as Sun Wukong had instructed.
After hearing that the Ten Yama Kings had sworn the significant vow, Sun Wukong eased up a bit.
Because of the past incident with the Golden-Winged Roc King and his secret descent to the lower realm, this time Sun Wukong, having learned his lesson, added numerous preliminary conditions to ensure absolute safety.
Sun Wukong relaxed a bit.
The Ten Yama Kings were nearly driven to collapse by a single great vow.
A single great vow, elaborately spanning half a day, was nearly too much to bear.
But finally, it ended, and Sun Wukong was willing to leave.
And logically speaking, Sun Wukong should not have anything else to say by now.
At that moment, King Qin Guang looked at Sun Wukong and continued, “Your Majesty, whatever you desire, as long as the Underworld possesses it, we will certainly offer it!”
These words were even more enticing than any treasure.
At this, Sun Wukong’s eyes shone, and he continued, “Old Sun doesn’t have any suitable spiritual treasures at hand, so how about this, gentlemen, give Old Sun ten or eight items to start with; of course, Old Sun won’t make it difficult for you all, the rank doesn’t have to be too high, Innate Spiritual Treasures would suffice!”
The rank doesn’t have to be too high?
Innate Spiritual Treasures?
Hearing these two phrases, the Ten Yama Kings looked utterly baffled.
An Innate Spiritual Treasure was an exceptional treasure, scarcely found throughout the Three Realms, typically held by those powerful beings who had survived since the Primordial Continent.
Not to mention their Underworld, even the entire celestial Court did not possess many.
Though they did have some in the Underworld.
These included the Judge’s Brush and the Book of Life and Death, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which constituted the core of the Underworld and were supreme Spiritual Treasures.
However, these items were something the Ten Yama Kings dared not offer.
If it weren’t for Sun Wukong’s formidable strength and their desire for him to leave, they might have already lost their temper.
But at this moment, King Qin Guang could only suppress his fury and continued, “Your Majesty, your request might be a bit too excessive, it’s not that we refuse, but the entire Underworld does not possess a single Innate Spiritual Treasure, let alone ten or eight!”
“Your Majesty, perhaps consider another request?”
Chu Jiang Wang also spoke up from the side, “Your Majesty, how about this?
There are thousands of monkeys and monkey descendants on your Mount Huaguo, many of whom have not attained the Way of the Immortals.
Let’s use this opportunity today to erase the names of many monkeys from Mount Huaguo from the Book of Life and Death!”
Upon hearing this, the other Yama Kings nodded in agreement.
Now, as Sun Wukong was not willing to wreak havoc in the Underworld, they would take the gentle approach.
Meanwhile, the Judge hurried over to Sun Wukong’s side, a flash of light in his hand, and the Judge’s Brush appeared.
He then also turned to the page of the Book of Life and Death that listed the monkeys from Mount Huaguo.
Subsequently, the Judge handed the brush to Sun Wukong, leaving it to Sun Wukong to make the decision.
Under these circumstances, could Sun Wukong not help his own monkeys and monkey descendants erase their names?
This was a reward, not Sun Wukong himself causing a big commotion in the Underworld.
