Chapter 49

【Detected that the Host successfully intervened in a key node of the "Journey to the West Great Tribulation," causing a significant deflection in the karma chain of "Sun Wukong's Havoc in Heaven!"】

【The future trajectory has fallen into chaos and the unknown...】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Heavenly Secret Point reward: 350 points!】

【Current remaining Heavenly Secret Points: 500 points.】

Looking at the lines of large characters appearing on the Heavenly Secret Treasure in his mind, especially the glaring "500 points" at the end, Su Chen was ecstatic.

I'm rich!

This time, I've really made a fortune!

Three hundred and fifty Heavenly Secret Points!

This is simply a huge sum of money!

He had worked hard and traveled for a long time, only earning one hundred and fifty Heavenly Secret Points from enlightening Li Chengqian.

But now, just by chatting with Brother Monkey for a while, although he almost attracted a backlash at the Saint level, he earned three hundred and fifty points in one go. This is too worth it!

This happiness came too suddenly!

"Sure enough, the greater the risk, the higher the return!" Su Chen shouted excitedly in his heart.

He now understood completely.

If you want to make big money, you have to follow the main plot closely.

Like enlightening Li Chengqian before, taking the "Human Dao" route, although safe, the returns were still too slow; it could only be considered earning some extra money.

And directly intervening in the fate of a "Son of Destiny" like Sun Wukong, although dangerous, the rewards are also unimaginably rich!

Of course, the "degree" of this must be grasped well.

Just like before, if he had said half a sentence more, it probably wouldn't have been a reward, but a heavenly punishment.

"I must be even more careful and cautious in my future actions." Su Chen silently warned himself in his heart.

However, the excitement still overwhelmed the lingering fear.

Five hundred Heavenly Secret Points!

Now, he can finally be considered a small rich man!

In his mind, that mysterious picture scroll appeared for the first time.

【Hint: To interpret the complete information contained within this picture scroll, it will consume two hundred Heavenly Secret Points.】

When he first saw this hint, he felt that two hundred points were too many.

But now, a mere two hundred points, he feels it's just okay.

"After waiting for so long, I can finally unlock your secrets!"

Su Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart, wishing he could find a place right now to go into seclusion and study that picture scroll.

He raised his head and glanced at Sun Wukong beside him.

He found that this monkey was still muttering to himself over there.

"A trap? What trap could the Heavenly Court set for Old Sun?"

"What exactly did Master calculate? Why couldn't he say it?"

Looking at his tangled and confused appearance, Su Chen smiled secretly in his heart.

It seems that his words had quite a big impact on him.

That's enough.

"Brother Monkey," Su Chen stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think so much. Since it's Master's instruction, just keep it in your heart. There will be a way when the cart reaches the mountain; we'll talk about future things in the future."

"Hmm, little brother, you're right." Sun Wukong nodded and stood up as well. "No more thinking, no more thinking. Anyway, Old Sun just won't go!"

He shook his monkey head vigorously, as if wanting to shake out all those annoying things.

Seeing this, Su Chen took the opportunity to make his request.

"Brother Monkey, I have traveled all the way from Xiuniu Hezhou, crossing two continents and a vast ocean. To be honest, I'm a bit tired. I'd like to find a quiet place to meditate and adjust my breath for a few days to recover my spirit. What do you think?"

He had to find an excuse to lock himself away and study the picture scroll properly.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a bit embarrassed.

He had been too busy being happy and had forgotten that his little brother had traveled a long distance and had been dragged by him today to deal with so many demon kings; he must be exhausted.

"Oh my! It was my negligence!" Sun Wukong slapped his forehead, his face full of apology. "Little brother, don't worry, I will arrange it for you right now. I guarantee I'll find you the quietest, most stable place in our Huaguo Mountain with the most abundant spiritual energy."

He now treasured Su Chen dearly.

This was the only fellow disciple he could still talk to.

Moreover, he had brought him Master's "secret instruction," which was a huge favor.

Sun Wukong did as he said; he pulled Su Chen back into the Water Curtain Cave and then personally selected a stone chamber for Su Chen in the deepest part of the Water Curtain Cave.

This stone chamber was located at the intersection of the entire Water Curtain Cave's spiritual veins; not only was the spiritual energy the most concentrated, but the location was also the most hidden, with several layers of natural stone walls separating it from the outside, providing excellent concealment and ensuring that absolutely no one would come to disturb him.

"Little brother, just rest here with peace of mind!" Sun Wukong pointed to the clean stone bed and said enthusiastically, "This stone chamber is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the spiritual energy is abundant, making it most suitable for meditation and cultivation. Just stay here as long as you want. You don't need to worry about anything outside!"

"Many thanks, Brother Monkey." Su Chen was overjoyed; this place was indeed an excellent place for seclusion.

"What thanks! We're brothers; saying such things is being too formal!" Sun Wukong waved his hand carelessly. "You rest, Old Sun will go out first. Don't worry, Old Sun will set up a restriction outside; except for you, not even a fly will be able to get in."

Having said that, he exited the stone chamber and thoughtfully closed the heavy stone door slowly.

"Boom—"

As the stone door closed, the entire stone chamber instantly fell into absolute silence.

Su Chen stood in the center of the stone chamber, listening to Sun Wukong's fading footsteps outside, and let out a long breath.

He waved his hand, and several night-luminescent pearls obtained from the Canglang Cave Abode flew to the four walls of the stone chamber, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire room.

He also set up a simple warning restriction at the entrance of the stone chamber.

Although he believed Brother Monkey wouldn't come to disturb him, being a little careful was never wrong.

After doing all this, he finally felt at ease.

He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and with a thought, the ancient wooden box obtained from the Qingxi Sword Sect appeared in his hands.

He slowly opened the wooden box.

That mysterious picture scroll, which was neither gold nor jade and exuded an ancient aura, lay quietly inside.

Su Chen looked at the two twisted and coiled innate Dao characters on the picture scroll that contained supreme Dao charm, and his eyes became fiery.

Su Chen sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took out the mysterious picture scroll, and placed it on his knees.

Ever since he obtained this picture scroll, he had felt that this thing was definitely an extraordinary treasure, but due to the lack of Heavenly Secret Points, he had been unable to see its full picture.

That feeling was like a person who had been hungry for three days having a full banquet placed in front of them, only to be told they could look but not eat; it was simply heart-wrenching.

But today, he could finally get a glimpse of the secrets within.

"Come on, let me see your true face!"
