Chapter 371: Played by Gods and Buddhas! Sun Wukong Who Seeks to Defy Heaven and Change Fate!

~5 min read 923 words

Drunkenness led to mishaps.

This perfectly illustrates what Sun Wukong did this time.

Afterward, facing what he had done, Sun Wukong was still shaken.

But once done, it was done.

As the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong would never and could never do something so foolish as walking into a trap.

That would just make him look like a coward.

So Sun Wukong left the Heavenly Court directly and returned to Mount Huaguo.

He had thought the Heavenly Court would immediately send someone to capture him.

Now he had suddenly joined the Myriad Worlds chat group, and they said the Chen Ziyu Society knew some general details about their world.

Naturally, Sun Wukong asked for clarification, to see if what they said was true.

As for lying, it wouldn't affect Sun Wukong at all.

So now Sun Wukong waited calmly, expecting the one named Chen Ziyu to speak about him.

Chen Ziyu, whose spiritual energy had revived, hesitated upon seeing Sun Wukong's words.

According to Sun Wukong's account.

The other party should be the orthodox Journey to the West World's Sun Wukong.

That was also the world where immortals and gods reigned.

In the past, when the Heavenly Court came to deal with Sun Wukong, it was only a tiny fraction of its power.

The true greats had never appeared.

Not to mention others—just the Jie Sect disciples from the Investiture of the Gods Era still in the Heavenly Court were extremely powerful.

In fact, the waters of the Journey to the West World ran very deep.

In Chen Ziyu's view, the true depth of that world had never been revealed at all.

You should know that the Journey to the West world also has many saints and numerous quasi-saints, yet throughout the entire Journey to the West, almost none of the quasi-saints ever actually took action.

For example, Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple is indeed an old-school quasi-saint, and Buddha Tathagata is likewise a top-tier quasi-saint.

But during the Journey to the West calamity, they were most likely just putting on an act.

One can only say that this world's Sun Wukong was toyed with in the palm of another's hand.

Thinking about Sun Wukong's story, Chen Ziyu slowly spoke up, "Great Sage, in the end you were still captured by the Heavenly Court."

"Captured by the Heavenly Court." Sun Wukong's eyes flickered slightly as he chuckled, "I wonder which immortal managed to capture me."

Chen Ziyu: "Great Sage, it was Taishang Laojun who dropped the Jin Gang Hoop, and only then were you finally subdued."

Ye Hei: "What Xiaoyu said is correct. Monkey Brother losing to Taishang Laojun is no injustice."

"Taishang Laojun."

The Sun Wukong of Flower-Fruit Mountain pondered for a moment; being caught by such a big shot could, in a sense, be considered no injustice.

Even though Luofu didn't truly understand the Journey to the West world, he still knew Taishang Laojun's status.

You should know that even the Jade Emperor had to give Taishang Laojun some face.

When he had stayed at the Heavenly Court before, Sun Wukong had learned a bit about Taishang Laojun's general standing from other immortals and gods, and it was indeed extraordinary.

Sun Wukong: "Then what punishment did I ultimately receive?"

Having wrecked the Peach Banquet, Sun Wukong also understood that he would probably face some kind of punishment.

Chen Ziyu: "Originally the Heavenly Court wanted to execute the Great Sage, but since you possessed an indestructible body, they ultimately failed. Afterwards you were taken to Taishang Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace. The flames inside not only failed to kill you, but actually tempered you into the Fiery Golden Eyes, capable of seeing through everything in the world."

Hearing Chen Ziyu's words, Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised.

Was he really that impressive in the future?

You should know that even now, facing the upcoming capture by the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong felt a little uneasy inside.

The Sun Wukong who had originally stayed on Flower-Fruit Mountain.

He didn't have a particularly clear understanding of the Heavenly Court's strength.

But after going up to the Heavenly Court twice, although Sun Wukong still didn't understand it thoroughly, he had clearly gained a certain awareness of the Heavenly Court's power.

The Nezha, Wind-Following Ear, Eight Immortals and others he had seen before were nothing special within the Heavenly Court.

The entire Heavenly Court still had many terrifyingly powerful experts.

This had been mentioned in the idle chatter of those immortals and gods like the Eight Immortals.

What those immortals and gods talked about were the past Jie Sect immortals and gods who had ascended the Investiture of the Gods list, and so on.

At the same time, even setting those aside, there were big shots within the Heavenly Court, such as the most renowned Zhenwu the Great Emperor.

He was a true big shot when it came to subduing demons and vanquishing evil.

Even among the mortal world, there were legends of Zhenwu the Great Emperor.

Sun Wukong: "Then what ultimately happened to me? Did I escape?"

Chen Ziyu: "Not quite. In the end, the Great Sage was still suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Western Buddha Tathagata. Only after several hundred years, with the help of a monk, were you able to emerge from the Five Elements Mountain and journey westward with that monk to obtain the scriptures, ultimately heading to the Western Heaven and becoming a member of the Buddhist faith."

"What?" Sun Wukong leapt up from his seat on the spot.
