Chapter 306: You locked our Wukong in with the Sea-Stabilizing Needle
Inside the Tianyuan Cauldron.
On one side, the scene of the sea demons, led by Ao Guang and following Nezha and Ao Bing, struggling to lift the Sea-Stabilizing Needle in an attempt to break through the Tianyuan Cauldron.
On the other side, the scene of Tang An handing out ice cream to everyone and even taking out a cooling Magic Treasure to lower the temperature for Li Jing and Lady Yin.
Originally, Tang An had given Lady Yin a bead to prevent her from being refined into a pill.
But later, when she went back for a trip, Tang An pondered it several times, fearing that complications would arise and result in Lady Yin losing her life.
So, returning this time, Tang An took Lady Yin and Li Jing with her wherever she went inside the Tianyuan Cauldron. Not one of this couple could be allowed to meet with misfortune.
It was for Mo Wan Nezha, and also to give Nezha a sense of hope.
At the very least, in this world, the life Mo Wan Nezha obtained was one of warmth and light.
However, apart from those two situations, there was another scene.
Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha stood beside Tang An, staring at that Sea-Stabilizing Needle.
Nezha said, "Monkey Brother, is your Golden Cudgel really that heavy?"
Yang Jian was also skeptical, "I have tried it; it is truly not that heavy."
Sun Wukong looked at the scene before him, thinking for a long time without understanding why they needed to gather the strength of all the underwater monsters to lift the Golden Cudgel.
"Master, is that really my Golden Cudgel?" He felt deep suspicion about this.
"Uh..."
"Hmm..."
How was she supposed to explain to Sun Wukong that it wasn't because the underwater monsters were too weak, but because he was simply too strong?
Usually, without a comparison, there was indeed no harm. But with such a comparison, it was simply a critical hit.
Tang An also couldn't understand how the Evil Peach dared to put the Sea-Stabilizing Needle together with Sun Wukong and even lock them inside the cauldron to refine pills.
Well, the Peach himself didn't even know that Sun Wukong was inside the Tianyuan Cauldron.
Even if he knew Sun Wukong had been locked inside, he might understand even less why one shouldn't put Sun Wukong and the Sea-Stabilizing Needle together.
"Tsk, poor Peach." She even felt a bit sorry for him; what a miserable peach.
Beneath the Tianyuan Cauldron, the demons finally lifted the Sea-Stabilizing Needle.
Mo Wan Nezha and Ao Bing held hands, pushing the power of the Hunyuan Pearl to its limit.
"Give me, break!"
The gorgeous, intertwined red and blue colors filled the space with blinding light.
The Tianyuan Cauldron looked as if it were about to be pried open, but Wuliang Xianweng and the others outside were no pushovers.
The gap that had been opened with such difficulty was forcibly suppressed back down by Wuliang Xianweng and the Tree Demon-Catching Squad together.
"Oh my!"
Sun Wukong was so anxious he was burning up; why was it so strenuous for them to just pick up a Golden Cudgel?
"Move aside and let me do it!"
He flew to the side of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, and Ao Guang immediately manifested to block Sun Wukong.
"This King does not know your origins, but at this critical moment, this King absolutely will not allow..."
"Big." Sun Wukong didn't even use his hands; he just shouted "big" at the Sea-Stabilizing Needle.
Sure enough, when the Sea-Stabilizing Needle heard Sun Wukong's summons, it suddenly emitted a swaying golden light, grew a full circle larger, and shook off a pile of sea demons.
Ao Guang's eyes widened, "How can you summon my Dragon Clan's supreme treasure?"
"What Dragon Clan supreme treasure? That is my Ruyi Golden Cudgel."
Ao Guang knew this was not the time to argue with Sun Wukong about such things, "Do you have the confidence to use the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle to break through the Tianyuan Cauldron?"
"That goes without saying, that goes without saying." Sun Wukong put his hands on his hips; the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was being a bit haughty.
"How long will it take?"
Sun Wukong playfully held up three fingers.
"Three hours? But if it takes three hours, I fear my Dragon Clan will..."
"Three hours? I am not one of you shrimp soldiers and crab generals." Sun Wukong signaled for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to hurry up and move away to clear the space. "For me to open this broken cauldron, three breaths at most."
At first glance, he had made a boastful claim.
But those who knew the prestige of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven did not think he was joking.
Sun Wukong blew a puff of Immortal Breath at the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, "Big, big, big, big..."
"Not enough, not enough, bigger, bigger."
Sun Wukong was having a great time, watching as the Sea-Stabilizing Needle grew to the bottom of the cauldron, one end touching the sky and the other touching the earth.
Ao Guang's hopeful gaze could not help but dim. "Really, can it not grow any larger?"
Sun Wukong smiled and waved his hand, "Old Dragon King, this is enough, it is enough."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Wukong lifted the base of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle with one hand.
How to describe that shock...
It was like an ant moving a century-old tree with one leg!
The sea demons' jaws were about to drop, Ao Guang's eyes were staring blankly, and Mo Wan Nezha and Ao Bing were also doubting their lives.
And Sun Wukong easily tossed the Sea-Stabilizing Needle into the air, then gave it a kick.
This kick looked like the force used to kick a ball, but it contained the weight of a thousand jun, directly shattering the magma and rocks on the Sea-Stabilizing Needle until they fell off in pieces.
Only then did the Sea-Stabilizing Needle reveal a few characters.
Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
"Open for me!"
"Bang!"
Without the slightest warning, a massive force, as if breaking through the primordial wilderness, struck. Wuliang Xianweng and those Demon-Catching Squad Disciples were all sent flying, along with the lid of the Tianyuan Cauldron.
"Hehehe~"
Sun Wukong slapped his thigh in amusement, "You lot actually want to refine old Sun? In my opinion, it is you who should enter the furnace to be refined instead, eh?"
As he chuckled, he retrieved the Sea-Stabilizing Needle into his hand. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he stuffed it into his ear.
The sea demons' jaws... dislocated.
He... he was able to lift the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, which was already a miraculous feat in itself.
Yet now, he had actually stuffed such a massive Sea-Stabilizing Needle into his own ear?
Stuffed the Sea-Stabilizing Needle into his ear...
Is this right?
Tang An could not help but applaud for Sun Wukong, "As expected of my eldest Disciple, you have truly learned the essence of your master."
As long as it is in one's hand, it is mine.
As for whose it was before, that is completely unimportant.
Ao Guang flew to Sun Wukong's side, "That is an object of my Dragon Clan; what use do you have for it? Return it at once."
"Hey, Ao Bing's father, don't be in such a rush." Tang An flew out stepping on a jade crane, "My Disciple wants this item because he has a great use for it."
"What great use could it have? Even if it is useful, it still belongs to my Dragon..."
"He wants to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace."
"Wreak havoc where?"
"The Heavenly Palace." Tang An pointed toward the sky, "Yes, the very Heavenly Palace you are thinking of."
Ao Guang's expression shifted in almost a second.
"Actually, come to think of it, that Sea-Stabilizing Needle is an ownerless object; what could it possibly have to do with my East Sea?"
Brilliant! That is exactly how the saying goes; everyone is quite skilled at changing faces and hitting the brakes, aren't they?
"Since this treasure has a connection with you, you may take it."
"And since you saved the demon creatures of my four seas, would you be willing to come to my Dragon Palace for tea after the matter is concluded?"
The implication behind his words was almost undisguised.
