Chapter 421

Actually, there is more than one person of destiny appearing; in fact, many people of destiny have already come. These people of destiny: some are true reincarnations of Sun Wukong, merely failing to complete their mission, while others are outstanding monkeys newly born from Flower-Fruit Mountain.

These Flower-Fruit Mountain monkeys, for Sun Wukong, have successively rushed out to seek the root instrument of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

But alas! These people of destiny all died in various places: some died on Black Wind Mountain, some died on Yellow Wind Ridge.

Some died on Flaming Mountain, some died in his Little Western Paradise, corpses so numerous he could not even accommodate them.

"Hehe! Huangmei, how did you become like your master Maitreya Buddha?

Truly not making progress—after several hundred years, your cultivation hasn't improved at all. With your pretentious airs, you dare to be my old master? You don't even piss to look in the mirror."

Sun Wukong coldly snorted, holding the true iron staff as he approached Huangmei and said: "You really think you're someone! In terms of cultivation, compared to the great demons I, Old Sun, have encountered, you're worlds apart. Back then, you only relied on the postnatal species sack and Maitreya Buddha's golden bell to trap me, Old Sun, and truly thought you had ability?

Hearing Sun Wukong speak, hearing his tone, the originally composed Huangmei instantly changed expression—this tone, this, this appearance, this, this is the Sun Wukong I know! 'You! It's you! It's you, this monkey head, you, you aren't you dead?

No! Impossible—your thing-things are still down here below; how are you alive?'

'Hahaha! I, Old Sun, now stand before you, yet you don't recognize me.' Sun Wukong scratched his head, flipped a somersault in midair, and said.

'Don't try to fool me—you're not that monkey; I know that monkey's abilities. Your magic power doesn't match that monkey's. You're also not a stone monkey's body; you have two of Sun Wukong's root instruments inside you, so you only look a bit like him. Don't try to deceive me.' Huangmei Old Buddha spoke.

No matter what, he could not accept Sun Wukong's death and rebirth. Back then, they, under the leadership of Erlang Shen Yang Jian, together besieged this monkey, and that battle was fought until heaven and earth grew dark.

Ultimately, Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, and they, with superior skill, successfully killed this monkey. Back then, he personally witnessed this monkey's soul scatter and spirit disperse, leaving only a thread of remnant soul to reincarnate, while the body was divided into six root instruments.

Even with immense magic power, one cannot recall this monkey—this monkey has thoroughly entered the six paths of reincarnation, its remnant soul having reincarnated for hundreds of years, dozens of lifetimes, long since no longer the original Sun Wukong.

'Well then! Well then! It seems only my old Sun's iron staff can make you recall some past events.' Sun Wukong shouldered his true steel iron staff and said.

'Without even a Ruyi Jingu Bang, you dare to be my opponent? First defeat my disciple, then talk!' Huangmei Old Buddha coldly snorted, opened his postnatal species sack, and from it flew out a small white dragon about a hundred zhang long; afterward, Huangmei vanished from sight.

Luode saw this small white dragon and initially thought it was the White Dragon Horse, but upon closer inspection, this dragon seemed female, so it must be the Little Dragon Girl! 'Who am I, then? Turns out I'm Kangjin Dragon! Back then, you helped Old Sun, and that counts as Old Sun's benefactor—I'll spare your life; retreat quickly.' Sun Wukong shouldered his true steel iron staff and roared.

On the Journey to the West, this Kangjin Dragon once helped him; without this Kangjin Dragon, back then Old Sun couldn't have opened Maitreya Buddha's golden bell.

Who would have thought that the former heavenly star deity would actually fall to the lower realm to become a demon, becoming a disciple of Huangmei Old Buddha?

I don't know what happened in the years since his death, but nowadays the world has become like this.

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the small white dragon flying in the sky was clearly stunned for a moment, then attacked Sun Wukong again.

'Roar!'

This time Sun Wukong held nothing back—he swung his iron staff with tiger-like vigor and struck toward the Kangjin Dragon.

One dragon, one monkey stood thus, exchanging blows, the fight inseparable. This Kangjin Dragon possessed excellent thunder law, the entire ice surface covered in lightning, continuously attacking Sun Wukong.

The monkey deployed his external law body, then used the transformation of gathering form and dispersing qi, thus dodging the thunder law from the sky.

'You little girl, after not seeing each other for several hundred years, your thunder law has improved, but I don't know if your martial skills have deteriorated.' Sun Wukong spoke.

For some reason, he always felt this Kangjin Dragon's gaze at him was slightly strange.

Luode and Azeroth rode on the backs of the double tigers, while Old Horse waited nearby.

'This dragon looks a bit like you after your transformation, but after you transform, you're much larger than her.' Azeroth used the Microcosm to begin secretly communicating with Luode.

Their some secret talk indeed cannot be known by outsiders, so they can use the special ability of the Microcosm.

Luode will build a passage, then allow Azeroth to communicate with himself.

'I really haven't used dragon-form transformation for a long time, but if I now transform into dragon form, I fear I'd be over ten thousand li long!' Luode spoke.

Azure Dragon form—I really haven't used it for a very long time, even forgetting I still have this skill.

However! If Luode now transforms into dragon form, then this world's dragon bones would all have to call out 'ancestor'—after various life-level leaps and evolutions, my dragon god qi has become strong to an absurd degree.

If I consumed the Primordial Divine Power Fruit, my body would likely be larger than a planet, reaching Titan-level.

'Are you interested in taking her as a subordinate?'

'Let's see first, then talk—see if the monkey will spare her life.' Luode spoke.

'This Kangjin Dragon Star Lord is also pitiful—back then, when such a thing happened in heaven, she was forced down to the lower realm, invited with difficulty.' Old Horse sighed and said.

'Something happened in heaven! What happened? You, tell me.' Luode spoke with interest.

This Journey to the West world is indeed very strange—everything is pitch black.

'Heavenly Great God, you don't know—back then, a hundred years ago, heaven indeed had an anomaly, earth also had an anomaly, and the Vibalapova Bodhisattva disappeared for no reason.

Moreover, the Sunniday Star in heaven, due to various reasons, was trapped in Purple Cloud Mountain, and it's said, said it was even refined into a demon, named Radiant Moon Demon Lord.

Becoming neither human nor ghost, it's said to be very evil—back then, this Kangjin Dragon, by imperial decree, descended to the lower realm to seek the Sunniday Star Lord, but for unknown reasons remained in the lower realm; I estimate it's because she feared the people of heaven.' Old Horse spoke.

Good fellow! Luode indeed recalled some black Journey to the West game, in its trailers before release.

Indeed there was a figure resembling a dried corpse rooster, called Radiant Moon Demon Lord; back then many guessed he was the Sunniday Star Lord, and now it seems this guess has come true.

After a fierce battle, the monkey used his Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Tiger ability, finally subdued the Kangjin Dragon, knocked it to the ground, and restored it to a red-clothed, white-haired woman.

'You little dragon girl! Now are you convinced? You say you don't get along with whom? Becoming a demon in the lower realm is fine—why not be a demon king yourself? Why follow Huangmei Old Man?' Sun Wukong spoke.

'Back then, when Kuiwood Wolf descended to the lower realm, he simply became a demon king, unconstrained by others; you came down to the lower realm, yet still want to bow to others as teacher, be constrained by others—what lower realm did you descend to? Wouldn't it be better to stay in heaven?' 'You! You truly are the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, you, you have returned, you really have returned, I, I!' Kangjin Dragon gazed at Sun Wukong before her, incredulous, and asked.

'Truly Sun Wukong? Truly Sun Wukong? Then, then what about my root instrument and his—nasal inhalation of love, the fish-water joy—what does it count as?'

'One of Sun Wukong's six roots, nasal inhalation of love, transformed into a great fish obtained by Huangmei; back then, when I descended to the lower realm, Huangmei Old Buddha restrained me, then I was placed into this postnatal species sack.'

'Inside, I suddenly saw a golden great carp swimming toward me, and thus I enjoyed a bout of fish-water joy—that joy, truly indescribable!'

'From then on, I no longer wished to return to heaven to be that star lord, only wanting to daily stay with that great golden fish.'

'Thus I remained here; Huangmei Old Monster also took me as a disciple, and placed that golden great carp into the ice lake.'

'She occasionally also transforms into white dragon form, enters the ice lake, seeks the great fish transformed from nasal inhalation of love, and engages in fish-water joy.'

'You dragon girl are truly strange—what exactly is wrong with you? Are you in some difficulty?' Sun Wukong spoke strangely. This Kangjin Dragon indeed seems somewhat off—her gaze toward me is strange, even her look at the lake surface bears reluctance.

'No! Since Great Sage, you have truly been reborn, then your six roots' nasal inhalation of love is right here at the bottom of this ice lake—you go take it yourself! It has now transformed into a great golden fish, entirely red, very beautiful.' Kangjin Dragon spoke with an enamored expression.

'The Great Sage Equal to Heaven has retrieved his root instrument—afterward, who will he seek for fish-water joy? Who is his great fish?' (This meme—various hints in the game, hahaha!) Although Sun Wukong felt somewhat strange, he didn't think much, but came to the center of the ice lake, and indeed saw at the lake bottom a wholly red great fish swimming.

'Strange! Although called nasal inhalation of love, why does this root instrument of mine! have so much male-female joy energy? This great fish in the water—fear it's not small trouble!' Sun Wukong said no more, leapt up, and smashed his true steel iron staff downward, breaking the ice surface; a wholly red giant great fish leapt out.

'Come come come! Your master has come—why don't you return?' Sun Wukong spoke.

In the sky, the red great fish, upon seeing Sun Wukong, let out a roar, then its body began to change, seeming extremely unwilling.

Finally, he took a deep look at the Kang Jin Dragon lying to one side, seeming very reluctant, but still transformed back into one of Sun Wukong's roots, returning to the Great Sage's body.

After the big fish returned to the left of Nose Sniff Love, Sun Wukong had already retrieved his three roots, but after retrieving this root, Sun Wukong's face changed, even becoming somewhat angry.

"You murderous wretch, you really didn't do anything good! Old Yellow Brow, you dare to play tricks on this old monkey!

You wait, I will definitely smash your head to pieces." Sun Wukong spoke angrily.

Among the six roots, Nose Sniff Love and Eye See Joy can both transform into living beings; Eye See Joy turned into a bird and caused no trouble for himself.

But the big goldfish transformed from Nose Sniff Love indeed caused quite a bit of trouble!

It must be the doing of Old Yellow Brow Buddha, for Nose Sniff Love can inherently arouse the lust of aquatic creatures; putting him and the Kang Jin Dragon together, trouble is inevitable!

"Pfft! Luode, have you noticed? It seems this monkey and this dragon girl have a story!" Azealas squinted his eyes, looking at Sun Wukong, and spoke.

"I see it, but it's not with Sun Wukong himself, but with his roots." Luode spoke.

The Old Yellow Brow Buddha of this world is really lewd!

Making the roots into which Sun Wukong transformed after death and his own female disciple, who is also a dragon girl, I swear this is playing for real! "You are a dragon girl, I ask you, have you seen my junior disciple Zhu Bajie? I heard he also came here?" Sun Wukong saw the Kang Jin Dragon girl lying on the ground and spoke.

What does the trouble caused by Nose Sniff Love have to do with him, Sun Wukong? The monkey simply pretended not to know.

"Great Sage! Your second junior disciple Zhu Bajie is trapped by the Old Yellow Brow Buddha in the Golden Bell, on the mountain peak of Turtle Island; I, I can take you there." The Kang Jin Dragon girl stood up and spoke.

"Just point out a road for this old monkey, you are still injured and shouldn't move around too much, alright! Old Yellow Brow will soon die under this old monkey's staff.

You should seek another path, go elsewhere to reside, don't return to heaven again." Sun Wukong spoke.

"Great Sage! Don't worry, I, I have my own way." The Kang Jin Dragon girl spoke.

She very much wanted to ask, Great Sage, can you still turn into that golden big fish? But the words came to her lips and she couldn't say them.

Luode's mouth corner revealed a hint of a wicked smile, he extended a finger and pointed out a thread of life essence, injecting it into the body of the Kang Jin Dragon lady before him.

After receiving Luode's life essence, the injuries on the Kang Jin Dragon lady's body immediately recovered.

"Little dragon, thank you! Thank you, this great deity." The Kang Jin Dragon girl found her injuries healed, immediately stood up, bowed to Luode, and spoke.

Those who follow beside the Great Sage Equal to Heaven are absolutely not weaklings, and it seems the Great Sage Equal to Heaven holds this person in great respect; the other's identity is certainly not ordinary.

"You junior need not be overly polite, I am your ancestor." Luode laughed and spoke.

Then he released his Azure Dragon's might, terrifying and incomparable dragon pressure pressing toward the Kang Jin Dragon girl; this is the aura of a true dragon, this is the aura of the dragon ancestor, this is the aura of the Azure Dragon.

After sensing this aura, the Kang Jin Dragon girl's eyes instantly widened, she looked toward Luode, her body trembled uncontrollably, fine sweat broke out all over her body, then she knelt down, placing her forehead on the ground.

Several others also felt this dragon pressure, began trembling all over; this is different from the Conqueror's Haki, but a pressure coming from the Azure Dragon.

At the same time, on Turtle Island, a dragon child who was fishing also felt this aura, this powerful dragon aura that is hard to describe in words.

"This, this is what aura? Is this the Ancestral Dragon? But! But how is this possible?" The Azure-Backed Dragon stood up from Turtle Island, maintaining his fishing posture for hundreds of years without moving, he moved.

"You, you, are you the Ancestral Dragon?" The Kang Jin Dragon girl stared wide-eyed, incredulously gazing at Luode and asked.

"I am however the Azure Dragon in form, my body spans tens of thousands of miles, indeed not easy to transform into this form, but you should be able to feel my dragon might and dragon aura." Luode spoke.

The life level continuously evolves and rises, my Azure Dragon bloodline has already become concentrated to an unimaginable degree.

Now only some higher mythological world dragon clans have bloodlines more concentrated than mine, but this low-level immortal cultivation Journey to the West is another matter; I am the ancestor of dragons here.

"Little girl Kang Jin Dragon, I pay respects to the Azure Dragon, I pay respects to the Azure Dragon." The Kang Jin Dragon girl spoke with an excited face.

"Good! You will follow by my side to cultivate from now on! No need to leave." Luode spoke.

Keeping this little dragon girl by my side is quite interesting; seeing Wukong's ugly face, Luode couldn't help but want to laugh. In the future, there will be much more fun around.

Being able to cultivate beside the Azure Dragon is my great fortune, perhaps, perhaps!

The Kang Jin Dragon girl glanced with a slightly red face at the monkey standing to one side, my Nose Sniff Love! My big goldfish!

At this time, Sun Wukong's face was somewhat surprised, he didn't expect this Heavenless Great God's true form to actually be a dragon, bad; he previously didn't respect the dragon clan much, always calling them old loaches, old loaches, now he indeed needs to change his address, from now on this loach term cannot be used.

After accepting the Kang Jin Dragon girl, the group came to Turtle Island on the snow mountain, facing them they saw a huge golden bell.

The person inside seemed to have smelled something, directly rang the golden bell, making a dong dong sound, also waking the giant turtle on the island.

"I smell monkey lewdness, quick, quick let me out, let this old pig out."

"Hehe! You blockhead, after not seeing each other for hundreds of years, this old monkey really misses you!" Sun Wukong hehe laughed, leapt up and jumped above the golden bell, tapped it and spoke.

Upon hearing this extremely familiar voice, this extremely familiar speaking tone, the person inside fell silent for a long time, then immediately began to curse loudly.

"Yellow Brow Old Monster, you dog thing! You actually had someone take the form of my eldest senior brother.

Still want to use this trick to fool me, you dog thing, let me out, do you see Pig Grandpa not beat you to death with a rake?" Zhu Bajie roared angrily.

He couldn't bear this! Sun Wukong laughed, kicked the golden bell on the snow peak with one foot, directly smashing the golden bell into two halves and also lifting out the eight-zhu Bajie inside who was only five feet tall.

"Hehe! Blockhead, you just look and see who this old monkey is!" Sun Wukong said, leaning on his iron staff and standing before Zhu Bajie. (End of chapter)
