Chapter 17: True and False Sun Wukong

The monkey cupped his fists and bowed: "Please, Master, give your guidance."

Looking at Sun Wukong's respectful appearance, Chen Nuo nodded with satisfaction and said: "When outside, don't be too arrogant and complacent; you must know the principle that there are heavens beyond heaven and people beyond people!"

Although Sun Wukong is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal, there are countless capable people in these Three Realms; a Taiyi Golden Immortal fundamentally doesn't count for anything.

In the original work, after Sun Wukong ate immortal pills and was refined by Taishang Laojun, greatly increasing his strength, he could still be stopped by Spirit Official Wang who guards the Lingxiao Baodian; one can see how deep the waters of the Three Realms are.

Growing up and comprehending Journey to the West, one feels the entire Journey to the West's immortals are just watching a monkey show.

Only Sun Wukong still smugly thinks he is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven; however, since in this life I have become his disciple, naturally I don't want to see Sun Wukong repeat past mistakes again.

"Disciple understands!"

"Also, if you encounter someone you can't beat, just loudly shout that you are a person of Chaos Residence!"

Sun Wukong scratched his head and asked: "What if he doesn't stop?"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes: "Then you run over here to me!"

If they can stop, that would be awesome; in these ten years no one has come over, who knows what Chaos Residence actually is.

He merely wants to borrow Sun Wukong to make a name for himself; anyway, as the protagonist of the Great Calamity, Sun Wukong is impossible to keep quiet.

Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Chen Nuo's eyes: "As long as they reach here, no matter who it is, I guarantee their safety!"

The voice was flat, yet incomparably domineering; no way around it, who let him be this unrestrained inside Chaos Residence?

This scene made Sun Wukong's heart fill with admiration; this style, worthy of being Master!

Also unknown from when, he himself could be like Master, having such confidence.

"Alright, I've finished speaking, you may go."

Sun Wukong did not leave immediately, but cupped his fists embarrassedly and said: "Master, could you lend this old grandson one Divine Astonishment for disciple's protection?"

"Moreover, with the Cooking Utensils' blessing, this old grandson will definitely be able to make a great display in front of the Flower Fruit Mountain Monkeys when I return!"

Sun Wukong left Fangcun Mountain, heading toward Mount Huaguo according to memory, looking back at Fangcun Mountain once more, as if these ten years were like one day.

In the blink of an eye, he had already gained cultivation; when he returns, he will definitely give these Flower Fruit Mountain Monkeys a good show.

Let them know, peaches are nothing!

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong became even more spirited, and his flying speed increased considerably.

Not long after, he arrived; Sun Wukong pressed down his cloud head and walked toward the Water Curtain Cave.

"Children, your Great King has returned!" Seeing several little monkeys, Sun Wukong didn't care which one, shouting repeatedly.

But the little monkeys didn't buy it, saying vigilantly with one face: "Where are you from, why do you want to impersonate our Great King!"

Sun Wukong, confused: "Old Sun really is your Great King, the Monkey King, the one who went on a sea voyage to seek immortals!"

"You're talking nonsense, our Great King already returned a few days ago; I just came out from inside the Water Curtain Cave, the Great King is inside right here!" A little monkey circled Sun Wukong, looking him over, and said vigilantly.

"That's someone impersonating Old Sun!" Hearing these words, Sun Wukong's heart flared with great anger; ignoring the little monkeys' obstruction, he rushed in anxiously.

Only to see on the Water Curtain Cave's treasure seat, lay a monkey with exactly the same appearance as him, enjoying the other monkeys' massage.

"Halt! You are what kind of demon, daring to impersonate Old Sun's name, disguise as Old Sun's appearance!" Sun Wukong instantly flew into a rage; no one seeing this geese-occupying-magpie's-nest scene could remain calm.

Six Ears opened his eyes, looking at this monkey with the same illusory appearance as himself but a very bizarre getup, pupils contracted: How did he appear!

"I am this Mount Huaguo's King, the Monkey King Sun Wukong!" Six Ears looked at Sun Wukong,

Without the slightest guilt.

"You are what wild monkey, daring to impersonate my name, come on, seize him for me!"

Six Ears waved his big hand, with quite some demeanor.

The Flower Fruit Mountain Monkeys below swarmed up, wanting to capture Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong stomped his foot, invisible momentum spreading around, actually making these monkeys unable to move.

However, he did not harm these children, but looked toward Six Ears on the treasure seat and coldly snorted: "Do you dare or not to distinguish true and false with me!"

"What is there not to dare!" Six Ears smiled confidently, without the slightest hesitation.

Although letting him already be able to confirm the identity of the monkey before him, but so what?

Now, oneself is this Monkey King!

"Angry old monkey eyes clumsy, I also cannot distinguish which of the two Great Kings is real, which is fake." The aged old monkey leaned on a cane, shaking his head and sighing.

"I will give the two Great Kings a few questions; whoever can answer them all, he is the Great King!" The old monkey tremblingly walked forward and spoke again.

"Old Sun agrees!" Sun Wukong and Six Ears said in unison.

"First question, do the two Great Kings know how they were born?"

"Born of heaven and earth, Old Sun jumped out from inside a stone!"

"Then second question, do the two Great Kings know why they became our Great King?"

"Because Old Sun jumped into the Water Curtain Cave!" The two monkeys still synchronized.

"Third question, why did the Great King leave Mount Huaguo?"

"Longevity!"

Sun Wukong saw Six Ears also answer fluently, and provocatively smiled: "Didn't expect you, this demon, are also quite capable!"

"Er..." The old monkey anxiously scratched his head: "Both Great Kings' answers are completely accurate, fundamentally no way to judge."

"Also unknown, since the two Great Kings are seeking immortals, have you both learned what abilities? From where is your teacher?" The old monkey asked again.

"I learned the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, Ten Thousand Calamities No Aging Longevity, and can also mount the Somersault Cloud, one somersault ten thousand eight thousand li!"

Mentioning abilities, Six Ears couldn't help but speak somewhat proudly.

"You still haven't said where your teacher is from!" Hearing this impostor's divine abilities, Sun Wukong wasn't surprised, but instead still had the mind to tease.

Six Ears coldly snorted and spoke no more.

"Then it should be Old Sun's turn!"

Sun Wukong took out the kitchen knife tucked at his waist, showing off a few beautiful knife techniques.

"I, Old Grandson, am a disciple of Chaos Dwelling!" Sun Wukong raised his neck, head held high and proud!

The Six-Eared Macaque furrowed his brow, then burst out laughing: "Chaos Dwelling? This must be something you just made up out of thin air!"

Nowadays, most powerful beings have retreated into the mountains and forests, no longer concerning themselves with worldly affairs, but those cave dwellings all have proper names and lineages. The Six-Eared Macaque has wandered the Honghuang for countless ages, yet he has never once heard of Chaos Dwelling.

Though I do not know where this Heaven-Ordained Stone Monkey has run off to, causing even the entire Buddhist Sect to be unable to find him, I have now, following the Sect's orders, taken his place.

Moreover, this is his one and only chance to turn his fortunes around—even if this monkey reappears now, he would absolutely never let slip such a golden opportunity to ascend to heaven in a single step!

Nobody can obstruct!

"I, Old Grandson, would never deceive you!"

A flash of killing intent passed through the Six-Eared Macaque's eyes, then vanished. He spoke coldly: "Don't deceive me—then tell me, where is Chaos Dwelling?"

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain!" Sun Wukong stood with hands on his hips, face full of pride.

The Six-Eared Macaque was stunned. Lingtai Fangcun Mountain? He had only just returned from there a few days ago—what is going on here?
