Chapter 286: Re-entering Seclusion, the Great Sage's Mind!

Vast Wilderness.

Great Bamboo Peak.

Ye Yang returned to Great Bamboo Peak and found Sun Wukong!

"Master brought back one person from another world; he will wait in the Vast Wilderness, bear witness, until the Journey to the West concludes!"

"During this time, you receive guests on my behalf!"

"A guest from another world?"

Sun Wukong blinked his eyes, found it very interesting, patted his chest making a thumping sound, and slapped his chest, making a vow.

"Master, rest assured!"

"With me here, nothing will happen!"

Sun Wukong's eyes rolled around a few times, then he asked again.

"Master!"

"Master! Should we keep him here at Great Bamboo Peak forever, or... take him to see the scenery!"

Seeing the scenery? Receiving guests is a pretense; Sun Wukong, bored to action, truly wants to move!

Others at least have something to fight; they're warming up on the East Sea right now! But I can't join the battle team! Sun Wukong pouted discontentedly! He wanted to move his limbs, but who dares to fight him!

If he loses, he'll be covered in injuries; if he wins...

Who dares to win?

Aren't you afraid Sun Wukong will learn from the past Haotian, turn around and go find his backer to complain!

Speaking of which, Sun Wukong's most intense exercise over the past thousand years was probably just the saliva he spat at Jieyin and Zhunti over twenty years ago! Ye Yang saw through Sun Wukong's thoughts, but had no intention of restricting him! After all, he is now at the peak of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, and cannot suffer a loss!

After Sun Wukong received his orders and left, Ye Yang stepped forward, returning to the meditation chamber!

Ye Yang planned to spend some time thoroughly organizing the gains from traversing multiple worlds this time! Even the collision of the Great Dao of the World, Ye Yang observed it up close nine times! Moreover, from the enlightening discussion on the Dao with Shi Xuejin!

Ye Yang had a feeling!

After digesting all the gains from this trip, it will be the time for his true breakthrough!

At that time, his cultivation will reach the peak of Mixed Yuan Taiyi Great Luo!

Time-space formation disk, ten-thousandfold acceleration, activate! Soft rustling!

Plants spread, with willow shoots extending tender branches, spreading in all directions!

Yang Mei Lao Zu dispatched a strand of his mind to guard Ye Yang against everything else! Perhaps Ye Yang doesn't need it, but by putting on this attitude, he won't make a mistake...

……

Three years later.

The battle on the East Sea finally ended!

All the powerful ones were beaming with satisfaction, returning happily!

This fight was exhilarating! Moreover, what made them unable to contain their joy was the test results!

Now the Vast Wilderness can, in the short term, bear the battles between Mixed Yuan Great Luo cultivators!

The traces left in the battle can be completely erased in a short time! Even if the Map of Mountains and Rivers is unfolded, and Nuwa, aided by worldly power, cannot cause a large-scale collapse of the Vast Wilderness's space with a casual gesture! Previously, sages could not enter the Vast Wilderness, nor fight within it; that scene will vanish without a trace! This news makes everyone happier than anything else! Otherwise, even sparring would require careful control of power, fearing to accidentally break the fragile world!

The stronger the strength, the more the restrictions! Possessing great power yet being limited to outside the world makes life too boring!

"The direction of Great Bamboo Peak is..."

Shi Xuejin followed the route Ye Yang left before departing, preparing to go to Great Bamboo Peak! At this moment, a monkey with a hairy face and thunder god's mouth blocked his path! "Mr. Shi, Master summoned me to meet you!"

"Oh..."

Shi Xuejin nodded in agreement, looking at the other's face, somewhat hesitantly asking.

"Who are you?"

"Just call me Wukong!"

Indeed, it's that Sun Wukong!

Shi Xuejin laughed helplessly! Ye Yang really likes to play, raising the lawless Great Sage Equal to Heaven as his own disciple! Shi Xuejin followed a stretch of road, only to find that Sun Wukong was leading him eastward!

"Where are we?"

"When I came to fetch someone, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to arrange things with them!"

Sun Wukong hid nothing, frankly saying he had stayed on Flower Fruit Mountain for nearly three years! After discovering the chaotic battle had ended, he hurried over to look for Shi Xuejin!

"Flower Fruit Mountain..."

Shi Xuejin murmured this name, growing interested.

"Flower Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave, Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

"In our world, the title of Sun Great Sage is truly known by every household!"

Sun Wukong's mouth corner unconsciously curled up.

"Really?"

"Naturally, not a word false!"

"Then quickly tell Old Sun what reputation I've left!"

Sun Wukong curiously inquired.

"From Flower Fruit Mountain, the Five-Colored Stone exploded..."

Shi Xuejin could remember at a glance, let alone his current strength!

At this moment he was like a storyteller, recounting the original journey of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West! Speaking of the Great Havoc in Heaven! Sun Wukong clapped, face full of delight!

"A true man's life should be like this!"

"It turns out he can still cause such a ruckus; no wonder I felt unsatisfied when I beat the Six-Eared Macaque at the Peach Banquet last time!"

"It turns out the ruckus wasn't big enough!"

Shi Xuejin spoke of being suppressed for five hundred years, when thirsty he drank iron juice, when hungry he ate copper pellets—Sun Wukong's face naturally turned ugly!

In his heart, he felt even more gratitude toward Ye Yang!

Sun Wukong knew that without Ye Yang, he would definitely not miss a single part of that ending!

And where could there now be such a carefree, free-and-easy situation!

Thereafter, the eighty-one tribulations infinitely weakened Sun Wukong's role!

By means of various pleas, favors, and karmic ties, the heavenly-mending merit and fortune originally carried on Sun Wukong's body were entirely turned into others' resources!

Even finally, he was given the bullshit title of Victorious Fighting Buddha! It was an utter insult to himself!

「Tathagata, the West—these scoundrels are really good! 」

「Last time outside Great Bamboo Peak, when I opened the mic, Old Monkey's words were still too refined—basically a bargain for them! 」

According to the original course, Sun Wukong would be controlled by others his whole life! As a result, his revenge was just a few painless words! No, not satisfying enough! Sun Wukong's eyes rolled around!

Now he can certainly let himself go free!

No need to worry, who would dare retaliate? 'If I don't mess up those scoundrels' affairs, I can't ease my mind!'

「Mr. Shi, would you be willing to lend a hand on the Journey to the West? 」

「Ah… this… isn't too good, is it? 」

Shi Xuejin blinked his eyes.

I am an outsider, coming to this world only to observe! To personally participate would likely overstep bounds!

「It's fine! 」

Sun Wukong warmly invited!

「I heard from my master that your Great Dao is all beings! 」

「All beings, naturally should take humanity as their mind! 」

「The Journey to the West deceives the world, deceives all beings; with Mr. Shi's abilities, we surely cannot stand by and watch the masses fall into water and fire! 」

Shi Xuejin chuckled and shook his head.

「Whether the people are foolish or not, look not to the West but to those in power! 」

「So-called faith is nothing more than a psychological reliance! 」

「If the court needs it, then naturally all kinds of temples and Daoist sects will spring up! 」

「Otherwise, they couldn't retain more followers! 」
