Chapter 107: Chapter 107 The Zen Master of Wuchao

Sun Wukong had captured the Nine-Headed Bug and suppressed it within the Creation Ding, then he and the Bull Demon King split the wealth of the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King, reaping a bountiful harvest.

The old Bull Demon still had the legacy of the Mangniu tribe on his mind, and seeing the treasure made his heart feel a bit better.

He knew very well how rich the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King was, having monopolized the unique business of the Beiming territories, amassing an untold fortune.

The wealth was so vast that, although it could not compare to the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea, it was still on par with those of the Western, Southern, and Northern Seas’ dragon races.

One only needed to look at the All Saints Dragon Palace to know, with roofs of gold, doors of white jade, and floors paved with Coral Treasure Beads—all of which were treasures rich in spiritual energy.

If one were to use Sun Wukong’s artifact refining method, these treasures could be put to immediate use.

Although the Bull Demon King was in the lower realm, he often heard about how the Monkey King frequently made big moves in Heaven, which made him envious.

These Demon Kings might say they were free and easy in the lower realms, but most were just boasting.

Who would want to muddle through in the lower realms if they could truly obtain the Heavenly Court Immortal Register and shed their demonic identity?

The situation was precarious, and one never knew when they might inadvertently offend some important figure or a small fry with a powerful backing, and end up extinguished.

Of course, it had to be the Heavenly Court Immortal Register and not the true fruit of the Buddha Sect.

As a top Demon King of the demon world, the Bull Demon King knew all too well what the Buddha Sect was like.

If he were to join the Buddha Sect, he feared that the wealth his family had accumulated over the years would all go to Buddhism.

And the problem was, he found it difficult to side with Heaven.

Because his old Bull family’s territory stretched across three continents, it was located right at the intersection of Xiniuhezhou, Beijuluzhou, and Nanshanbu State.

With the current relationship between Heaven and the Buddha Sect, if he sided with Heaven, the Buddha Sect would immediately seize his territory.

It would mean willingly giving up his territory, but how could he bear to do that?

The Bull Demon King sighed in his heart, in the end, it was because his strength wasn’t enough!

That was why, even though he knew the Nine-Headed Bug had a complicated background, he was still willing to engage in this transaction.

For the legacy that had been lost by the Mangniu tribe for many years could bring him greater strength!

"Big Bull Brother, don’t be in a daze, I still need you to show the way and take another trip to Mount Ji Lei," Sun Wukong said with a smile, having already put the treasures of the All Saints Dragon Palace into the Qiankun Bag.

With these treasures in hand, when he found the time later, he would fire up the furnace and spend a great session refining them, crafting thousands upon thousands of Spirit Guiding Instruments, which would surely make Fruit Mountain even more powerful.

The Bull Demon King put aside his emotions and then hurried to Mount Ji Lei with Sun Wukong to meet the Eternal Fox King.

On the way, Sun Wukong did not forget to consult the netizens of Wisdom Hub about the doubts in his mind.

He activated the Persuasion System, connected his consciousness to Wisdom Hub, and with a thought, posted a message.

"I am Sun Wukong, and I’ve just captured the Nine-Headed Bug. However, I discovered that he is not from the Demon Cult, but only cooperating with them. I wonder if any seniors here know the background of the Nine-Headed Bug and what kind of background he has?"

At the same time, he briefly described his journey, such as how the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King introduced the Nine-Headed Bug to the Bull Demon King, and also mentioned the legacy of the Mangniu tribe, the Cangyun Blood Spirit Stone, the Ancient Fox Clan Stele, etc., all attached below the post.

It wasn’t long before many replies came in.

Little XiaoXiao is also cute: "When I saw the previous question posted by the topic host, I wanted to say, how could the Nine-Headed Bug be a person of the Demon Cult?

On the journey to the west, he was the only demon that Sun Wukong let go!

If the Nine-Headed Bug were from the Demon Cult, would Sun Wukong have let him go? And would Yang Jian, who was also in the battle, have let him go?"

Li Julii is my wife: "That makes sense. By that time, our Monkey Bro had gone through previous trials and tribulations and had come to understand some human interactions.

The most obvious principle was to only kill those demons without any background."

"Wukong lets the Nine-Headed Bug go on the journey to retrieve the scriptures?" Sun Wukong scratched his face, according to what these two senior netizens said, this sneaky creature actually has a big background.

Neighbor Lao Wang Selling Tobacco and Liquor: "I don’t know if everyone has noticed, when the scripture-seeking team passed Yunzhan Cave and came across Mount Futu, they met a high-ranking Buddhist monk named Uchaan.

He not only imparted the ’Heart Sutra’ to Tang Sanzang, but also accurately foretold some of the upcoming calamities. Obviously, he knew the detailed plan of the Buddhist scripture-seeking project.

Moreover, even when Wukong used his power to overturn rivers and seas, he couldn’t touch Uchaan, which shows that the latter is very powerful and must be one of Buddhism’s high-ranking officials.

So who exactly is Uchaan?"

Don’t Admire Me Too Much: "Dude, don’t leave us hanging!"

All My Life’s Luck: "Waiting for the follow-up, update quickly!"

Let’s Just Be Human: "Just be human, will you!"

Righteousness Aroma: "Did you go off to take a dump? Why is it taking so long?"

"It’s him again!" Sun Wukong also started to scratch his ears and cheeks. He could see that Neighbor Lao Wang meant to say that Uchaan was the Nine-Headed Bug’s backer, but who was Uchaan?

After a while, the replies arrived.

Neighbor Lao Wang Selling Tobacco and Liquor: "I’m here, revealing the answer—he is Uchaan!"

Wan Zhan Shangguan: "You’re killing me..."

Neighbor Lao Wang Selling Tobacco and Liquor: "Don’t curse, I made a mistake, typed it wrong, he is the Daoist Lu Ya!

Let me explain it slowly to everyone.

First, let’s start from Pan Gu creating the world. After Pan Gu’s death, his two eyes turned into the sun and the moon,

and from the sun were born two Three-legged Golden Crows, also known as the great Golden Crows, respectively Di Jun and Tai Yi.

These two brothers later joined forces with the Demon Clan’s Fu Xi and Kun Peng, killed the arrogant Immortal Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, set up the ancient Heavenly Court, and announced themselves as the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, both as Heavenly Emperors.

Among these, Demon Emperor Di Jun had ten sons of whom Di Yi killed nine with his arrows; the only surviving Golden Crow child became Daoist Lu Ya.

Di Yi’s act of shooting down the suns is considered one of the sparks to ignite the great war between witches and demons. Since it’s not the focus of this question, let’s not expand on it here.

Continuing on with Daoist Lu Ya, he proved his strength and earned a reputation during the war of Divine Enthronement, with the help of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and the Seven-Arrow Nail Book.

He then joined the Western sect and became the Great Sun Tathagata of Buddhism, which is why everyone couldn’t find Daoist Lu Ya’s whereabouts, because he had switched his identity!

Finally, the term ’Uchaan’ translates to the nest of the Golden Crow, so it’s clear that the high-ranking Buddhist monk Uchaan is none other than Daoist Lu Ya, the Great Sun Tathagata in disguise.

Okay, now that the background is clear, let’s get back to the original question, what is the Nine-Headed Bug’s background?

Earlier, a bro mentioned that the Nine-Headed Bug is a descendant of the ancient demon god Guiche.

And since Guiche was a subordinate of Demon Emperor Di Jun, who would his descendant the Nine-Headed Bug listen to?

Definitely the ancient Demon Emperor’s son, Daoist Lu Ya!

This is also why later on the journey to the West, Wukong would let go of the Nine-Headed Bug, because he knew that Nine-Headed Bug’s supporter was Uchaan, the Great Sun Tathagata, who is also Daoist Lu Ya!

He would have to mix with the Buddhists in the future; naturally, he must build good relationships with these powerful old leaders.

Furthermore, when Nine-Headed Bug claimed he didn’t have the inheritance of the Mangniu clan, that inheritance naturally lies with Daoist Lu Ya.

As the son of an ancient Demon Emperor, it is reasonable that he holds the inheritance of the demon race."

Sen Yu Mi Lu: "Spouting nonsense all the way and yet the logic still somehow makes sense in the end, impressive."

Kurosaki Yoruichi: "But this raises a big question, how could the Great Sun Tathagata cooperate with the demonic cult?"
