Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 145: King Zhou

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: King Zhou

Continued to read the subsequent replies.

Heroic Spirit Arkham: "Won’t King Zhou stir up trouble? Someone’s going after your wife, you can’t just sit there and do nothing!"

An Rourou: "King Zhou is now just a lord overseeing marriage ties, Lord Tianxi, with a leisurely position, what trouble could he possibly stir up?"

Heroic Spirit Arkham: "Although King Zhou’s divine ranking is low, that really doesn’t prevent him from causing trouble. His identity as a former king is a sharp weapon. Besides, after the Divine Enthronement, everyone understood the truth behind it, and factions emerged. Surely, there will be some willing to follow King Zhou."

Product of Three: "The problem is, in his lifetime, he killed a bunch of the forces he could have used, like his royal relatives and in-laws. Even knowing the truth about the Divine Enthronement, that’s enough to cool their hearts."

"Hmm, King Zhou Di Xin?" Sun Wukong’s intelligent eyes sparkled with divine light.

He didn’t know much about this person and had never interacted with him in the Heavenly Court.

Mainly because this Lord Tianxi never participates in court assemblies and is seldom seen out and about.

But the previous three senior netizens made some sense; even if Di Xin wants to do something now, he’s probably inclined but powerless.

Looked at other replies.

Nine Tripod Celestial Origin: "Stop kidding, King Zhou gouged out Lady Jiang’s eyes and branded her hands with a hot iron. With such brutality, how could there be any feelings left between them?"

Demons Subduing Rudra: "From another perspective, perhaps King Zhou intentionally harmed Lady Jiang, giving her the chance to become immortal and receive Divine Enthronement, thus escaping the cycle of rebirth."

Wang Wukong: "This statement is truly heaven-defying; conspiracy theorists are ecstatic..."

Blood-Forbidden Glutton for Heaven: "King Zhou is not a good person, don’t whitewash him."

China’s Strongest Whimpering Monster: "Don’t bluntly dismiss him upstairs. Di Xin might not be a wise ruler, but he’s not as brutal as the legends say.

The Shang dynasty practiced human sacrifice anyway, and Di Xin’s ancestors did far more brutal acts than he did. Branding with hot irons and gouging out eyes were nothing compared to what his ancestors did.

Di Xin’s infamy was deliberately exaggerated by the Ji Zhou to establish their own legitimate image.

For example, the title ’King Zhou’ was given by the Ji Zhou.

In a sense, Di Xin was made to carry the blame for the entire Shang dynasty’s system of human sacrifice.

Literature has then constantly reinforced Di Xin’s image as a tyrant, ultimately putting him on par with Jia Jie."

Neighbor Wang Selling Tobacco and Liquor: "Di Xin was indeed not as bad as the Zhou dynasty claimed. He was just a king who failed at reform and lost his country.

Look at the accusations listed by King Wu when he attacked King Zhou:

The first, not using nobles, but favoring slaves.

The second, disrespecting spirits and neglecting sacrifices.

The third, promoting the unworthy.

The fourth, being obstinate and excessively waging wars.

The fifth, listening to women’s advice.

The sixth, alcohol abuse.

From these charges, one can instantly see that this is a noble class indicting a king who touched their interests."

Cucumber with Alcohol: "According to mythological lore, Di Xin was the last ’human king’. After King Wu’s campaign against him, Ji Fa proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, henceforth the Heavenly Dao took precedence over the human order, and his status was diminished.

Of course, this applies only to the mythological world with a Vast Wilderness backdrop."

Heroic Spirit Arkham: "That’s why I say, his identity as the ’human king’ is a big banner, surely with no lack of followers."

"Interesting, interesting," Sun Wukong read through these responses thoughtfully, understanding Di Xin much more deeply.

Regardless of whether it was a good or bad idea, he did hope that Di Xin would do something to deal with the Chan Teaching side.

According to the wisdom of netizens on SmartWho, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

There were new replies following that.

Hahaha guess who I am: "Doesn’t Shariputra keep his Spiritual Treasure for Artifact Refining? What exactly is Shariputra’s true form, he should be capable of Artifact Refining, right?"

Carp King using Rain Prayer: "This is so inhuman! I like it!"

What is Love and What is Sentiment: "Letting Brother Monkey use Shariputra for Artifact Refining, wouldn’t that have the high monks of the Buddha Sect come at us with knives?"

"Hey, this senior, always proposing bad ideas." Sun Wukong scratched his face, and besides, he wasn’t lacking materials for Artifact Refining anyway—those useless Spiritual Treasures he got from opening boxes before could all be recycled and remade.

Learned Scholars in Books: "The pit that the topic starter dug for the Ziwei Great Emperor in this segment seems quite deep. He really seems off. It looks like he cooperates with Wukong but ends up betraying him.

He also seems to have dragged the Southern Extremity Longevity Star into the mess, being one of the masterminds behind the chaos of the Lunar Star. After the matter was exposed, instead of thinking about how to get rid of the trouble, he plunged into the net,

Obviously wanting the Southern Extremity Longevity Star to save him, and in the end, he indeed succeeded."

Protector of the Nation’s Soy Sauce: "It’s probably really for revenge. Although we can’t see much detail from the topic starter’s simulation, the results show that Ziwei Great Emperor’s stance really has problems, and he might just be a backstabbing ’old six’."

"Old six?" Sun Wukong’s clever eyes spun around. He could understand the meaning of this phrase—it really could be about Ziwei Great Emperor’s identity and position.

Quality Products: "To be honest, Ziwei Great Emperor doesn’t have solid foundations in the Heavenly Court. He has only a few worthless younger brothers from the Divine Enthronement and an unrelated younger brother, Lei Zhenzi.

Chan Teaching probably doesn’t have many willing to care about him, after all, the disciples of Chan Teaching initially helped Ji Fa.

But he still holds such great power in the Heavenly Court crowded with strong figures, so he must have some extraordinary abilities."

Flowers Bloom on the Other Shore, Meeting Yearning: "I think Sun Wukong should be careful of a new round of retaliation from Ziwei Great Emperor,

Having dragged the Southern Extremity Longevity Star into this, he definitely has the chance to leverage the power of Chan Teaching against Sun Wukong.

Not to mention, Sun Wukong has long harshly offended Chan Teaching.

If those two go back and put their heads together, who knows what kind of dirty trick they might come up with."

[You have received a new suggestion: Be cautious of retaliation from Ziwei Great Emperor and Chan Teaching. Completing the suggestion can obtain a level five treasure chest.]

Hearing this notification sound, Sun Wukong’s expression did not change. Even without the forewarnings from the senior netizens, he had long been on guard.

Besides the Ziwei Great Emperor, he was also concerned about another very important issue.

From the news revealed by Golden Cicada and Wukong’s calculation this time, the Buddha Sect had already begun preparations for the journey to the West.

Back when his soul was summoned to the underworld, the senior netizens on SmartWho mentioned the Buddha Sect’s journey to the West project, saying that he was the core talent for this project.

Since then, he had been wary of the Buddha Sect and vigilant about the journey to the West.

For this reason, not only did he work hard to improve his own strength, he also continuously sought more power and allies in the Heavenly Court for himself.

At the same time, through the SmartWho netizens, he gained an early understanding of many matters related to the journey.

For example, he knew that besides him, the travelers included Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and the Little White Dragon.

But his understanding of the whole journey to the West project was always fractured and incomplete.

Just like this time, it was the first time he learned that Tianpeng was actually Zhu Bajie’s previous life!

Last time when subduing demons in the Beiming Sea, netizens did give a detailed introduction of the Little White Dragon, Ao Lie.

Only the backgrounds of Tang Monk and Sha Monk were still unknown.
