Chapter 126: Not Advancing is to Retreat, Demonic Shadow Maddened

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Not Advancing is to Retreat, Demonic Shadow Maddened

Mount Ji Lei, Cloud-Brushing Cave.

Contrary to the last time, the Eternal Fox King carefully and respectfully asked Sun Wukong to take the seat of honor.

Previously, to avoid any mishaps, he and his daughter had been taken by Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court for temporary refuge, incidentally to vouch for Sun Wukong, but unexpectedly they were fortunate enough to witness the great demon-subduing battle and see Sun Wukong display his divine prowess and receive great awards from the Jade Emperor.

The North Arctic Heavenly Venerate, ah, such a high and honored position; for the lowly demons like them, to set eyes upon it, is to be blessed for three lifetimes.

The Demon King did not understand all of this; upon hearing the news, he complained that the old fox had never let him take the seat of honor.

The Eternal Fox King cursed: "You buffoon, if you’re capable, go to the Heavenly Court and become a Heavenly Venerate yourself, I’ll call you ’grandfather’ every day!"

The Demon King bulged his bovine eyes: "Heavenly Venerate?"

The Princess Jade Face couldn’t hold back and added, "Yes, yes, the Great Sage was indeed imposing this time!"

This little fox spirit, having been to the Heavenly Court once and witnessed so many grandiose events, was still excited as she spilled the beans, recounting Sun Wukong’s demon-subduing exploit at Beiming and the subsequent rewards given by the Jade Emperor.

After hearing it all, envy appeared irrepressibly on the Demon King’s face, and after staring at Sun Wukong for a long while, he finally exclaimed, "Younger brother has done a great deed indeed!"

Sun Wukong felt extremely content at the moment, yet he humbly replied, "It was nothing, it was nothing."

The Demon King knew that this monkey liked to show off, but at this moment, he did not perceive it as showing off, because the monkey truly had the skill!

Once upon a time, when the seven fiendish kings of the demon realm had become sworn brothers, they could drink, frolic, and roam freely together.

However, now, in terms of both strength and status, Sun Wukong had left them far behind.

From now on, it seemed there would be no more jesting and frolicking between them and Sun Wukong.

But rather quickly, the Demon King cast aside these thoughts.

Because Sun Wukong had not kept any secrets and directly handed over the lost ancestral heritage of the bullish demons to the Demon King—an award gained from the previous opening of the treasure chest.

"Haha, good brother!" cried the Demon King, laughing excitedly, "If you ever have any orders in the future, I’ll go all out to fulfill them! If you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west!"

"There’s no need for so many words between us brothers, just keep some fine wine ready for old Sun." Sun Wukong also knew how to exchange polite remarks.

Afterward, the Demon King indeed brought out good wine and also called over the Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, Lion Camel King, Macaque King, and Yu Ze King; the seven demonic kings gathered and drank freely in the Cloud-Brushing Cave.

The Jiao Demon King and the others, knowing that Sun Wukong had been appointed as the North Arctic Heavenly Venerate, were similarly envious and resolved to strive harder.

During the banquet, spurred by their spirits, the six kings, following the title of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, each chose a new title for themselves, such as the Great Sage Pacifying Heaven, Great Sage Overturning Seas, etc., to signify their determination to change!

After a satisfying feast, Sun Wukong eventually left Mount Ji Lei.

The Demon King and the others were profoundly moved, knowing that Sun Wukong had deliberately stayed behind to drink with them, to convey the message that he, the Monkey King, had not forgotten his sworn brothers just because he held a high position in the Heavenly Court.

The Demon King, looking at the Jiao Demon King and others, earnestly said: "We must seriously cultivate from now on, and not live as carefreely as before, disregarding all rules and decorum.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t just lose face in front of brother Wukong; if we caused trouble, it would make things difficult for him."

The Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, and the others all agreed and departed.

Only the Eternal Fox King and Princess Jade Face, father and daughter, remained in the Cloud-Brushing Cave, along with a horde of little demons cleaning up the cave dwelling.

The Eternal Fox King sighed: "To not advance is to retreat, to not be content is to grieve, to not gain is to perish; this is common to mankind, and so it is for demons."

As an old fox king who had lived for many years and seen great changes in the world, he was rather insightful and, of course, understood the current predicament of the Demon King and the others.

With the continuous rise of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the once-famous demon kings of the past were faced with a great change of fate, and whoever could not keep up with Sun Wukong’s pace would miss this great opportunity!

Reflecting on this, the Eternal Fox King spoke with a heavy heart and solemn advice, "Little Yuer, as your father’s lifespan comes to an end, you should look for a patron,

Sun Wukong aims high and does not seem like a person to be fettered by emotions,

That Bull Great Saint is understanding of the ways of the world, and he fancies you. After I pass away, you should seek him out as someone to rely on."

Princess Yu faced welled up with tears, nodding incessantly.

...

In the depths of the Beiming territories, the former Youdu Mountain had been destroyed in a great battle and sunk to the bottom of the sea, resembling ruins.

At this moment, within these seabed ruins, the gently flowing seawater suddenly stirred into a small whirlpool, and strands of black qi rapidly gathered and condensed, transforming into a black droplet that emitted a strange aura in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, countless streams of Demonic Qi surged from all directions, converging around the black droplet at its center to form a dark silhouette.

This black silhouette was covered with demonic patterns over its head and brows, looking quite ferocious.

"Fate or time? Their poison, my medicine! Demon Lord... Moluo?" The silhouette chuckled softly, then its smile faded to an expression of anger and resentment.

He looked around, seeing the ruins of Youdu Mountain that had sunken to the seabed, and became frantic once again.

"Destroyed, everything is destroyed!"

"Time, where is there any time!"

"Things have changed? Betrayal? No, you are mistaken, I trust them!"

"Ha, the Heavenly Court? Have you gone mad, or have I?"

"Sun Wukong, it’s all Sun Wukong, why is it always him!"

In the end, Moluo fell into tranquility, the demonic shadow flashed, and disappeared without a trace.

...

After leaving Mount Ji Lei, Sun Wukong returned once more to Fruit Mountain to visit his monkey tribe, to preach to them, teach them Divine Skills, and then he ascended to the Heavenly Court on a cloud.

On his way, he took some leisure time to open the Listen and Advise System, connecting his consciousness with Zhi Hu and began to show off his recent experience of subduing demons and eliminating evil to the online seniors.

He posted about whom he had enlisted for help, what he encountered in battle, and the rewards bestowed by the Jade Emperor in a single post.

"I am Sun Wukong, just finished pacifying the Beiming territories with the Martial Emperor, and the Jade Emperor has appointed me the Polar Heavenly Honor, rewarding me with nine peaches. May I ask if any seniors have advice for me?"

It wasn’t long before many replies came in.

I am a Troublemaker: "Monkey Bro, are the peaches from the Peach Garden sweet? I’d like to try some."

Liu Kuangshu: "Just as I said, the Kun Peng sorcerer, that old schemer, isn’t so easy to kill. It’ll be fun if he’s still alive."

Quality Product Three: "Is there a drama involving Yunxiao Fairy? Blown away!"

"Peaches surpass all the delicacies of the world!" Sun Wukong replied to the Troublemaker, "The Jade Emperor has rewarded Old Sun quite a bit, but I still feel it’s not enough!"

I am a Troublemaker: "Monkey Bro, send a couple to me for a taste, the address is... You can send them collect on delivery."

"Heh! Nonsense." Sun Wukong scratched his face.

He then looked at the subsequent replies.

Happy White Wolf: "I think Moluo probably isn’t dead."
