Chapter 55: Opportunity to change fate

~6 min read 1,063 words

Mount Huaguo.

"Old Sun has returned." Sun Wukong's voice rang out on Mount Huaguo.

The first thing Sun Wukong did was not to look for the monkeys, but to come to the grocery store.

Having just snatched some treasures from the Heavenly Court, he could now continue reading Journey to the West.

"Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper, I'm here again." Sun Wukong knocked on the door.

With a "creak," the door opened.

Appearing before Sun Wukong was an acquaintance, that powerful shopkeeper.

"What is it, Wukong? You have spiritual treasures to exchange for points so soon?" Wu Feng looked at the excited Sun Wukong and smiled.

"Hehe, yes, Shopkeeper. This time I have to thank the old Jade Emperor; it was him letting me be an official in the Heavenly Court that gave me such a harvest." Sun Wukong grinned.

If Sun Wukong had stormed the Heavenly Court.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Court had Daluo Jinxian powerhouses, in the midst of a fight, how could he have managed so many sneak attacks like now?

You have to know that many gods had no guard up when they saw Sun Wukong.

This made Sun Wukong's sneak attacks much smoother and easier.

In other situations, Sun Wukong could never have had such a harvest.

"Good, then come in. Let me see how your harvest is." Wu Feng nodded, signaling for Sun Wukong to enter.

"There." The grocery store wasn't big, and after entering, Sun Wukong saw two people in the corner.

Sun Wukong was somewhat familiar with one of them.

That was the one he had seen in the Underworld; he had also seen him on Mount Huaguo, and he had even left him a strand of Quasi-Saint power.

Dizang Bodhisattva.

"Dizang robbed the Fomen treasury before, so he has new exchange points." Wu Feng smiled. "As for the other person, it's the transformation of Dizang's spirit beast, Diting."

"So that's how it is." Sun Wukong was surprised. "Dizang Bodhisattva is truly amazing, actually robbing the Fomen treasury."

The current Sun Wukong still had some understanding of Fomen's strength.

With his Taiyi Jinxian strength, entering Lingshan would truly be seeking death.

Only Dizang, who possessed Quasi-Saint strength, could do such a thing.

More importantly, after robbing the Fomen treasury, Dizang had actually managed to return alive.

This proved even more that Dizang's strength was not simple.

"That's right, Wukong, you must work hard." Wu Feng said.

"That..." Sun Wukong scratched his hair. "Shopkeeper, once my strength reaches the Quasi-Saint level, perhaps I can try to find the Heavenly Court's treasury."

"Haha, alright, let me see your harvest this time." Wu Feng laughed loudly.

"Alright." Sun Wukong waved his right hand, and bits and pieces of spiritual treasures piled up on the ground, forming a small hill.

However, compared to Dizang's hill, there was still a big difference.

This was natural.

One had robbed the Fomen inventory, while the other had only robbed some gods in the Heavenly Court.

Not to mention that Sun Wukong hadn't robbed any Daluo or Quasi-Saint powerhouses in the Heavenly Court.

And here at Dizang's.

The treasures collected by Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Arhats were also within the Buddhist pagoda.

"Then let me see."

A ray of light fell upon these spiritual treasures.

"Sun Wukong, not bad this time; you have 6,000 exchange points." Wu Feng smiled.

"Only 6,000?" Sun Wukong was slightly disappointed; he had originally thought he would have over 10,000 exchange points.

"Haha, Sun Wukong, 6,000 is already not bad." Wu Feng said. "Even Dizang, after robbing the Fomen pagoda, only had 50,000 points."

"Oh, thinking of it that way, my harvest doesn't seem bad either." Sun Wukong's eyes brightened. "Shopkeeper Senior, then I'm going to read."

Having not finished reading Journey to the West before, Sun Wukong was impatient.

6,000 points should be enough to read for a long time, right?

Last time, Sun Wukong had obtained the Heavenly Evil Thirty-Six Transformations technique from Journey to the West.

"Wukong." Wu Feng suddenly called out.

"Shopkeeper Senior, is there anything else?" Sun Wukong was somewhat puzzled.

"Wukong, you only have Taiyi Jinxian power right now; perhaps you can try to see if you can break through to Daluo." Wu Feng said slowly. "If your strength doesn't improve, it won't be easy to escape your original fate."

"This..." Sun Wukong's gaze shifted slightly.

Because he understood that the Shopkeeper was right.

As he understood more and more about the Journey to the West World, Sun Wukong also understood his own insignificance.

Taiyi Jinxian, in this world full of powerhouses, was truly too weak.

If he continued like this, he would still become a puppet of the immortals and gods.

Sun Wukong also understood that asking the Shopkeeper for help was unrealistic.

The other party didn't owe him anything.

In the end, he might still be suppressed for five hundred years, just like in history.

"Shopkeeper Senior, please enlighten me." Sun Wukong bowed respectfully to Wu Feng.

No matter what, the grocery store, and even Wu Feng, were Sun Wukong's last hope, and his true hope.

"Sun Wukong, you have already obtained a strand of Chaos Demon God bloodline; now it depends on how you use it." Wu Feng said. "Go look for elixirs; there might be what you want there."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Senior." Sun Wukong nodded and headed toward the cabinet where the elixirs were located.

"Sun Wukong, whether you can change your own fate depends only on yourself." Wu Feng thought deeply.

As for Sun Wukong, Wu Feng wouldn't act like a nanny and protect the other party.

Just like with Dizang.

Fate must always be relied upon by oneself.

Wu Feng had only given them a key—a key to change.

…………………………

Above the grocery store, a cyan figure appeared.

It was that beautiful figure who had been sneakily following behind Sun Wukong.

Bixiao, one of the Three Xiao Sisters.

She was a Daluo Jinxian powerhouse.

Precisely because of this, she followed behind Sun Wukong without him noticing much.

"That monkey seems to have entered here." Bixiao above hesitated as she looked at the building. "Grocery store? What kind of place is this? It looks very ordinary."

"Forget it, wait a while. If Sun Wukong comes out, I'll go in and take a look." Bixiao's eyes brightened. "Maybe there are some treasures; you never know." ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
