Chapter 445

Four Heavenly Kings!

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li!

Huian Traveler Muzha!

Erlang Manifestation True Lord!

Sun Sun Wukong fought countless immortals and gods!

Especially when Erlang God Yang Xue Jian appeared, countless fans of the prehistoric era felt their scalps explode!

That is the protagonist in the Investiture of the Gods, the recognized template for a refreshing novel male lead! An existence who became a saint in the flesh, the number one among the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect!

But Sun Sun Wukong actually fought him to a draw!

In the end, it was Laozi who took advantage of Sun Sun Wukong's fierce battle with the Seven Sages of Meishan to throw a Diamond Snare to ambush him, only then capturing the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

But even after being captured, how to kill him became a big problem...

Swords couldn't hurt him, thunder couldn't kill him, and even after being thrown into the Eight-Trigram Furnace to be refined with fire, he could break the furnace and rush out, instead refining a pair of Fiery Golden Eyes!

The huge Heavenly Court had no way to deal with him. When the Buddha Tathagata came, he even shouted: "The Emperor's position is rotated, next year it will be my turn! As long as he moves out and gives the Heavenly Court to me, that's fine. If he doesn't, I will definitely stir up the three realms and never be peaceful!"

Burning!

Countless readers were satisfied to the sky!

What's even more outrageous is that in just seven chapters, the monkey had already reached the peak of monkey life, challenging the Buddha and wanting to be the ruler of the three realms, to be the Jade Emperor!

This is simply an invincible-style novel!

The popular version written by the young ladies is not as dry as the classical version; they adopted the writing style of web novels, focusing on strengthening the foreshadowing of the plot and the description of large scenes.

Whether it is the magical powers and treasures of the gods, or the battle scenes used when Sun Sun Wukong fought, they were all written in great detail, vivid and realistic.

Coupled with the empathy talent,

It makes people feel as if they saw the monkey causing chaos in the Heavenly Court with their own eyes, as if they were there in person.

Calling it satisfying, refreshing!

In addition, the popular version also retained much of the literary quality of the classical version, keeping some famous sentences.

For example, "The Emperor's position is rotated, next year it will be my turn!", "Wealth and fame, fate is determined by previous causes", "The strong should let me be respected, the hero dares to fight for the first only here!", etc., increased the literary rendering of the novel, making the novel more flavorful.

Good sentences can add points to a work, such as "Who is the peak at the end of the immortal road, seeing Zhu Wushi makes the Dao empty", "China ahead, gods forbidden", "Where the fallen leaves dance, the fire also lives on and on"...

And in "Journey to the West," there are many such sentences, and the young ladies selectively retained them in the popular version.

The classical version of "Journey to the West" has one hundred chapters, and the popular version has one hundred chapters!

The total word count is nearly one million words. Obviously, this is a big project and cannot be finished in one night.

But just the plot of causing chaos in the Heavenly Court was enough to make people shocked beyond measure, successfully attracting every reader.

Even though Sun Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Buddha Tathagata, the audience's desire to continue reading did not diminish at all.

As the protagonist, how could he be pressed under the mountain forever?

He will definitely come out again!

When the monkey comes out, he will still be that Great Sage Equal to Heaven who fights against heaven and earth and is lawless!

This part of the plot is similar to the exposure flow, just like in some novels where everyone looks forward to the protagonist exposing his identity as a peerless master; at this time, readers are looking forward to Sun Sun Wukong coming out from under the Five Finger Mountain.

And on Weibo.

Near midnight, it was lively and boiling.

It exploded!

Completely exploded!

Tonight, a monkey ignited the internet!

"This monkey is too domineering!"

"He's the first one to dare to talk to the Buddha Tathagata like that, and he even wants to be the Jade Emperor, my god!"

"Hahahaha, Nezha there almost made me laugh to death, he's simply a rebel in the Heavenly Court, whoever fights the Heavenly Court, I'll help."

"That's very Nezha!"

"It's a pity, the Great Sage lost in the end and was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Buddha!"

"It doesn't matter, after Sun Sun Wukong comes out, he will be a good man again! I can't wait to see him come out from under the Five Finger Mountain!"

"I used to only like Yang Xue Jian, now I have one more monkey!"

"Have you read the classical version? Xu Mingyue showed off to me, are these really written by two twenty-year-old girls? I feel like I learned Chinese for nothing!"

"The young ladies are too strong!"

"Even the popular version has strong literary quality. When reading the book, I doubted more than once that I was reading a classic!"

"I blow this novel up! Highly recommended!"

"..."

On the internet, discussions about "Journey to the West" can be seen everywhere.

Everyone was high from reading the book, and while commenting crazily, they were also recommending it to their friends.

At this time.

The appearance of a Weibo post added several fires to the already lively internet.

It was posted by the famous traditional literature writer Zhao Ping:

"After Xu Mingyue's new book was published, I read it until now without realizing it. Seeing so many people discussing it, I'll also share my shallow opinion."

"To be honest, Xu Mingyue is already qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, and their future is far more than that. It's hard to imagine that a book like "Journey to the West" came from the hands of a web novel author, but it is a fact."

"I read the classical version, and the more I read, the more shocked I am by their terror. I ask myself over and over again, what kind of stunning talent is this? To be able to write such a masterpiece! Such a hall-level work!"

"Yes, hall-level! This novel combines literary quality and story, with unparalleled atmosphere, unimaginable literary attainment, incredible imagination, and very distinct characters. Various Buddhist scriptures and Daoist allusions are at their fingertips. It can be said that it has reached the peak..."

"It is no less than "Investiture of the Gods"!"

"It is no longer just a novel, but a myth. It is Xu Mingyue writing the myth of the Middle Kingdom of the Blue Star! This is what the myth of the Middle Kingdom should look like. Xu Mingyue is doing the same thing as the original author of "Investiture of the Gods," perfecting the myths of the Middle Kingdom!"

"Being fortunate enough to read "Journey to the West" is my blessing, and I think it is also the blessing of the entire literary scene of the Middle Kingdom. In the future, "Journey to the West" will definitely have a place in the literary scene!"

"..."

As a famous traditional literature writer and member of the Literary Association, Zhao Ping had never publicly commented on a book on the internet like this, and gave such a high evaluation.

But he did it now, because "Journey to the West" is worth it! Xu Mingyue is worth it!

After reading the first ten chapters of "Journey to the West," he realized that he had to do something.

There is indeed a situation of literary people belittling each other in the literary scene, but this time, he truly admired the twins, believing that he couldn't write such a novel, and was even far behind!

Zhao Ping's fan count certainly cannot be compared to top stars like the young ladies, but he has a lot of weight in the literary scene.

He is a big shot in the literary scene!

As soon as his Weibo was posted, it caused a sensation in the literary circle.

"Good guy, hall-level work? Zhao Ping really dares to praise!"

"If I remember correctly, "Journey to the West" is a web novel just published by Xu Mingyue, right? Can a web novel get such a high evaluation?"

"Did Zhao Ping drink fake wine? Or did he receive a lot of money from Xu Mingyue? You can't be so unscrupulous to make money!"

"@Zhao Ping, brother, you're not being loyal, you didn't bring me along to make dirty money."

"Has he been bewitched by Xu Mingyue?"

"To be honest, elevating a web novel to a hall-level, or even the status of a myth of the Middle Kingdom, Zhao Ping is indeed wrong about this!"

"No, I have to go and see if this book is really as awesome as Zhao Ping blew it up to be!"

"..."

In a certain literary group, messages were scrolling quickly.

After many people finished sending messages, they quickly opened the novel website and started reading "Journey to the West."

Joking aside, they knew Zhao Ping well and knew that with this person's character and status in the literary scene, he wouldn't praise it so easily unless the book really had the level to make Zhao Ping do so!

They didn't expect that once they started reading, they would fall into the pit of Journey to the West, become addicted, and couldn't stop.

Zhao Ping didn't pay attention to the movements in the group. After posting on Weibo, he threw himself back into reading "Journey to the West." He glanced at the time; there was still some time before one o'clock in the morning, so he could continue to liver it.

And this livering lasted until five o'clock in the morning, until he really couldn't stay up anymore, and then he fell asleep hastily.

However, his spirit was very excited, and he couldn't sleep for a long time. His mind was full of various plots of "Journey to the West." In a trance, he seemed to have become that monkey, causing chaos in the Heavenly Court and seeking scriptures in the Journey to the West world!

Then, unknowingly, he fell into a deep sleep.
