Chapter 127: Chapter 127 The Demon is hard to annihilate, Evil is hard to eradicate
Moluo isn’t dead?!
"Hmm?" Sun Wukong’s gaze sharpened, and his hand stopped in mid-scratch.
How could that be possible!
He had personally witnessed the Martial Emperor, together with Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, annihilate Moluo’s myriad demonic shadows.
Afterwards, the Martial Emperor led a thorough search of the battlefield to ensure that Moluo had left no contingency plans.
Moreover, with top-notch Quasi-Saints like Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming around, it was impossible for Moluo to play any tricks.
But now there are netizens claiming Moluo might still be alive?
Before Sun Wukong could ask, other netizens had already begun making explanations.
Scholarly netizen: "I agree, Moluo is definitely not dead; he hasn’t yet transformed into Buddha Wutian.
According to destiny, Buddha Wutian is to rule the three realms for thirty-three years, and the destiny in a mythical world isn’t that easy to change.
I remember before he became Buddha Wutian, he made a move against Buddha Sakyamuni on the Great Snow Mountain, attempting to corrupt Sakyamuni’s Buddhist heart. In the end, even Sakyamuni could only banish him to the Abyss of Darkness, saying ’His fate is not yet fulfilled.’"
Rogue netizen Luo Moumou: "Evil is not so easily eradicated. On the journey to fetch the scriptures, Tang Monk said that various demons arise with the mind, and various demons vanish with the absence of mind.
As the Demon Lord, Moluo is not just a single person’s Heart Demon, as long as the Heart Demons of sentient beings exist, he can’t truly be destroyed."
Er Ha, who also reads books: "Seriously, those old monks from the Tang Dynasty are just bluffing. Look how many times he panicked along the way, and each time his heart wavered, demons appeared. He couldn’t even achieve the absence of mind himself.
Of course, Moluo isn’t that easy to kill either, after all, his complete form, Buddha Wutian, is indeed a badass great enough to flip the three realms."
Chief Needle of Africa: "Brothers, you all seem to hold the script."
Seeing these replies, Sun Wukong headed to the North Sea, turning into a ray of golden light, crossing over the East Sea, and then over the North Sea.
Arriving at the Beiming territories, at the previous site of the great battle, he carefully searched from the void down to the seabed, but found nothing.
"Regardless, since the elders have spoken, we must be vigilant," Sun Wukong thoughtfully scratched his face, planning to remind the Jade Emperor when he returned to the Heavenly Court.
This wasn’t his responsibility to worry about; it was the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the three realms, who should be anxious.
He continued to read the subsequent replies.
Deli: "I think it’s such a pity that the six-eared macaque died. Although he was formed from evil thoughts, people can’t be without evil thoughts. There’s a saying, isn’t there, that good people are bullied!
Only with both good and evil can one be a perfect individual; just like the Buddha Sect always talks about compassion, with Bodhisattva’s lowering of gaze, but they also speak of the fearsome gaze of Vajra, using the aspect of evil to deter the human heart."
That Year I Regretted Picking Peach Blossoms: "You’re right. Without the evil thoughts, it doesn’t feel like Brother Monkey anymore,
After Brother Monkey killed the six-eared monkey during the real versus fake Monkey King ordeal, he completely changed, no longer arrogant and rebellious but just obedient and docile, wholeheartedly assisting Tang Monk in his journey to the West for scriptures."
Vast Wilderness Know-It-All: "I mentioned this problem a long time ago. It would have been better to subdue the six-eared macaque, not eliminate him,
Just like severing the Three Corpses. After severing the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the corpse of attachment, one must complete the integration of the Three Corpses.
Missing any one of them is incomplete, affecting strength and future improvements."
The replies from these senior netizens made Sun Wukong somewhat anxious, scratching his head in irritation.
Initially, he had indeed attempted to subdue Six Ears until the demon master Kun Peng appeared, giving Six Ears a chance to escape and forcing him to use a drop of Luo Tian soul fluid to poison Six Ears dead.
The Luo Tian soul fluid was a reward he obtained after solving the murder of Deng Hua; its toxicity could be activated by demonic Qi or similar energies, and just one drop could kill a Daluo Golden Immortal!
So naturally, Six Ears had no chance to resist and vanished on the spot in a puff of smoke.
But now the replies from the senior netizens were expressing a sense of pity and regret, and even the long-absent Vast Wilderness Know-It-All emphasized the importance of subduing Six Ears, as if Sun Wukong had truly become incomplete.
Moreover, after the Good and Evil Corpses of Lu Ya Dao Ren were annihilated, his strength indeed declined significantly, undoubtedly confirming the speculations of the netizens.
There were new replies following that.
Neizhe: "I feel that your sympathies are unnecessary. Earlier, you all were discussing how difficult it is to extinguish the Heart Demon. Naturally, evil thoughts aren’t so easily eradicated either.
Even saints have Evil Corpses, let alone ordinary people?
I dare say, as long as Sun Wukong harbors evil thoughts again, the Six Ears Macaque will reappear.
Therefore, he needs to truly subdue his evil thoughts, preventing Six Ears from being a threat again."
"Hmm, is Six Ears hard to extinguish?" Sun Wukong calmed down, no longer feeling frustrated and confused.
He agreed with what the senior was saying, but not completely.
Because he felt that Six Ears was no longer a threat, his strength could completely overwhelm Six Ears. If not for the chaotic battle, he would have captured this duplicity long ago.
Right after, Sun Wukong was about to close the Zhi Hu app when another reply came in.
Most Love Baby: "Haven’t you all noticed a big issue? The Jade Emperor is up to something!"
Ninety-Nine Layer Resurrection Armor: "Ever since Sun Wukong ascended to heaven, he has always been up to something,
first suppressing the Chan Teaching, step by step taking back power,
then sending troops to exterminate the Demon Sects, establishing the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor,
and now appointing Sun Wukong as the North Pole Heavenly Venerate, a position so high that in the Heavenly Court it is second only to the Central Heavenly North Pole Purple Tenuity Emperor. The target of this is quite obvious."
Most Love Baby: "Not about these matters, it’s that he keeps sending peaches to the Monkey Brother. This time he gave nine Pan Tao peaches all at once! Isn’t this tempting Monkey Brother to commit a crime?
You should know that the estate of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven is right next to the Pan Tao Garden. What if one day Monkey Brother really can’t resist, sneaks in and steals some to eat, then wouldn’t it just loop back to the original timeline?"
Fries Always Scooping Up: "It can’t go back. From the moment Sun Wukong took charge of the Earthly Fiends division and became the Earthly Fiends Marshal, it became impossible to go back.
According to the original poster’s simulation, the Jade Emperor has truly started treating Sun Wukong as one of his own, just like the previous Martial Emperor, progressively raising his status and power.
With Sun Wukong’s strength now nearing that of a Quasi-Saint, if the Buddha Sect still wants to count him as a core talent for their Scripture-fetching project, they really need to weigh their options carefully."
Feeble and Ineffective: "So why is the Jade Emperor sending peaches every day? It can’t just be because the monkey loves to eat them, so they give him peaches to eat daily. Think harder, there must be a problem here!"
Don’t Ramble If It’s Nothing: "Could it be that the Jade Emperor is planning another upheaval in the Heavenly Palace? It’s not likely, considering Monkey Brother’s current strength. If there really was an uproar, it wouldn’t be so easy to settle down."
Shallow Like the Morning Moon: "Monkey Brother should really investigate this thoroughly, to avoid being tricked again."
[You have received a new suggestion: Figure out why the Jade Emperor is always rewarding you with Pan Tao peaches. Completing this suggestion can earn you a fourth-tier treasure chest.]
"It needs to be figured out," Sun Wukong’s expressive eyes whirled around thoughtfully.
The know-it-all senior from the ancient times once warned him that in his original life, the Jade Emperor, in order to control the power of the Heavenly Court, assigned him to guard the Pan Tao Garden, tempting him to make a mistake, and pushing him toward causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace in order to shatter the old order of the Heavenly Court.
In this, the Jade Emperor might have even made a deal with the Buddha Sect, consenting to their scripture-fetching project, which is why in the end, it was the Buddha Wutian who subdued him and trapped him under the Five Elements Mountain.
However, based on his experiences since ascending to heaven, the Jade Emperor seems to be using him as a knife, gradually reclaiming the power of the Heavenly Court instead of resorting to the destructive extreme measures of causing turmoil in the Heavenly Palace.
Sun Wukong understood all of this, but the questions raised by the netizens before were still unanswered.
Why does the Jade Emperor award him a few Pan Tao peaches each time?
He didn’t mind being used as a knife by the Jade Emperor; after all, he also wanted to leverage the Emperor’s power to deal with the Buddha Sect in the future.
But it is essential to get to the bottom of things, not to proceed in a muddle-headed fashion.
