I’ve come specifically to pay him a visit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the monkeys remained cautious, but the hostility in their eyes diminished considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead monkey eyed Su Chen skeptically: “You claim to know our Great King? We’ve never heard he knows any human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, only a mighty demon king like Niutouwang could be a brother to their Great King. This Daoist priest before him looked frail, as if a breeze could knock him over—hardly the sort of friend their Great King would have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen didn’t take offense; he merely smiled. “I met your Great King when we were both lowly disciples, studying together as brothers. Just go and announce that Wuchen, younger brother, has come—he’ll know immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not directly reveal he was Sun Wukong’s junior disciple, for Bodhi Patriarch had explicitly forbidden him from disclosing their sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying they were fellow disciples was not a violation of his master’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow disciples?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old monkey scratched his cheek. He knew their Great King had indeed returned from afar with astonishing powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Daoist spoke with such detail and conviction—he didn’t seem to be lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait here. Don’t move!” the old monkey warned Su Chen, then gave a subtle glance to a clever little monkey beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little monkey understood at once and dashed off toward the mountaintop like a streak of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other monkeys kept circling Su Chen, eyes wide, staring intently at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen paid no mind; he simply stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in the Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong sat high upon his throne, below him a dense sea of monkeys and monkey offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twirled his golden-ringed staff, glowing with radiant light, boasting wildly to his subjects about his glorious exploits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t see it! The Dragon King turned pale with fear when he saw me! I just tapped this treasure against the Dragon Palace—and the entire crystal palace shook! He handed it over to me without a word!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then he brought me armor and divine weapons, trying to curry favor. I pitied him, so I let him off! Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong spoke with great enthusiasm; the monkeys below listened, scratching their heads and jumping with excitement, squealing loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great King is mighty! Great King is mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Great King is the strongest monkey king under heaven!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the praise, Sun Wukong grew even more proud, his tail nearly curling up to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the little monkey who had been sent to deliver the message rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great King! Great King!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter? So clumsy!” Sun Wukong, mid-boast and interrupted, scowled. He slammed his staff hard on the ground, causing the entire Water Curtain Cave to tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little monkey shuddered, immediately kneeling and stammering: “G-Great King! A Daoist has come from the mountain base. He says—he says he’s an old acquaintance of yours, named Wuchen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wuchen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the name, Sun Wukong saw the image of that slender, resolute young Daoist rise in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it Wuchen, younger brother, come to visit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong leapt instantly from his stone throne, his earlier pride and majesty replaced by overwhelming joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did he come here? How did he find this place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong paced in place, scratching his head in excitement, clearly overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to ask the little monkey: “Why did younger brother leave Master’s place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the words caught in his throat as he suddenly remembered Bodhi Patriarch’s stern warning when he was expelled: “If you go, you will bring trouble. No matter how much chaos or violence you cause, you must never say you are my disciple. If you utter even one word, I will know—and I will flay you, grind your bones, and cast your soul into the deepest abyss, where you will suffer for ten thousand eons without redemption!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering his master’s warning, Sun Wukong shuddered violently, swallowing his question back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t ask! Absolutely don’t ask!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, take me to him!” Sun Wukong didn’t care about thinking anymore—he snatched up his staff and shouted at the little monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I’ll go myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words had fully left his mouth, he transformed into a golden whirlwind and shot out of the Water Curtain Cave, racing down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was so fast it left only a lingering afterimage in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkeys inside the cave exchanged bewildered glances, unsure what had come over their Great King today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen was chatting with the monkeys when he suddenly sensed a familiar, powerful aura approaching swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left his lips than a flash of golden light appeared, and a monkey clad in golden chainmail, wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and stepping on lotus-cloud boots landed with a thunderous crash before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years had passed, yet the monkey brother’s appearance had changed little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now he carried an added aura of demonic king’s dominance and majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger brother—it really is you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong’s eyes sparkled with excitement and joy as he saw Su Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed forward in three strides, his furry hand slamming hard onto Su Chen’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen felt a tremendous force surge through him, nearly staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inwardly marveled—this monkey still had such strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Monkey brother, long time no see,” said Su Chen, gazing at Sun Wukong, his heart filled with deep emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! Long time no see, long time no see!” Sun Wukong circled Su Chen twice, scanning him up and down, grinning ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re still the same bookish type. How come, after all these years, your cultivation is still so low? Only just become an immortal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong immediately sensed Su Chen’s cultivation level and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, Su Chen’s talent had been praised even by their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this time, shouldn’t he at least be a Earth Immortal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen smiled inwardly in bitter resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I compare myself to this stone-born monkey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You had cheat codes; I’m grinding the hard way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, he couldn’t say that aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong’s smile had not faded since their reunion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He longed to ask about Bodhi Patriarch, but remembering his master’s warning, he dared not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen saw his hesitation and understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the monkey brother wanted to ask about their sect but was too afraid to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he spoke up first, ready to deliver the carefully prepared explanation he had rehearsed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1136,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f7a016d2ee808894ea114695424c88e122d7e0ab3f88a5cc2c6289b48ce78b8e","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-45","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-43",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
