Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 158: Ancestral Dragon Art

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Ancestral Dragon Art

Sun Wukong thought to himself that given his current strength and status, assigning him again to guard the Pan Tao Garden would undoubtedly be an underutilization of his talents.

Why would the Jade Emperor send his disciple to guard the Pan Tao Garden? Could it be that he planned to have little white dragon Ao Lie cause havoc in the Heavenly Court?

That obviously wasn’t possible.

First, Ao Lie didn’t have the strength, nor did he have any reason to cause trouble in the Heavenly Court.

Second, the Jade Emperor had started to exercise his authority and would continue to make plans in the future. There was no need to resort to the extreme measure of upsetting the Heavenly Court.

Sun Wukong was somewhat puzzled by the Jade Emperor’s intention and asked Taibai Jinxing again.

Taibai Jinxing, with a smile on his face, said, "His Majesty said that the Great Sage need only tell Ao Lie to proceed. The Pan Tao Garden is next to the Great Sage Mansion. With the support of the Great Sage, the Heavenly Court will certainly not dare to bully him."

These words implied that if Ao Lie were to guard the Pan Tao Garden, someone would surely bully him.

Who would that be?

Sun Wukong’s sharp eyes moved slightly, and he soon formed some guesses and made a decision.

He was still tied up with the Jade Emperor and lacked the power to start anew. Therefore, as long as the Jade Emperor’s decrees were not too overbearing, he would comply.

Moreover, from the Jade Emperor’s intention, it seemed that the Heavenly Emperor had some plans in mind and wanted him to support them wholeheartedly.

In addition, the fact that this time the Heavenly Emperor did not silently use his disciple as a pawn was comparatively considerate.

Understanding all this, Sun Wukong bowed to Taibai Jinxing and said, "Then please convey my thanks to His Majesty. His Imperial Highness, high above, still thinks of my young disciple."

After speaking, he called Ao Lie forward to receive the decree.

Ao Lie, still in a daze, accepted the decree and expressed his gratitude, feeling that all of this wasn’t quite real.

Ever since the moment he impetuously kowtowed to the long-admired Great Sage Equalling Heaven at the Dragon Transformation Assembly, one unbelievable event after another had occurred.

Transforming into a true dragon, being granted a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and now he was being appointed by the Jade Emperor to guard the Pan Tao Garden!

What kind of place was the Pan Tao Garden?

Most of the deities in the Three Realms faced the threat of calamities and tribulations. Other than cultivating Divine Skills to evade disaster and tribulation, one could only rely on consuming Golden Cores and Pan Tao.

Golden Cores were rarely seen, and legend had it only the Grand Pure One in the Palace of Doushuai could concoct them.

Therefore, at each Peach Banquet, deities throughout the Three Realms yearned for a Pan Tao to evade the coming disasters and tribulations and to continue their immortal lives.

And now, the Jade Emperor was actually appointing him to manage the Pan Tao Garden?

Even after Taibai Jinxing departed, Ao Lie still couldn’t believe all this was true.

When he saw that towering, lean figure, his gratitude overflowed even more because all of this was brought about by his master.

In his heart, he silently vowed to take good care of the Pan Tao Garden, not to let his master down.

Sun Wukong only glanced at his disciple and knew what he was thinking but chose not to point it out.

After all, the Pan Tao Garden wasn’t a place for personal favors or social niceties; only someone as upright and sincere as Ao Lie would be suitable.

Then, he instructed Ao Lie to sit aside and assimilate the Luminous Pearl.

Once the assimilation was complete, Ao Lie placed the blue beads on his wrist.

With a mere gesture, a vast divine might seeped into his bloodstream, suppressing the pervasive red chains and temporarily freeing him from the bonds of karmic debt. A sensation of unprecedented ease and freedom flooded his heart.

"I will never forget the debt of rebirth owed to my master!" Ao Lie again knelt respectfully on the ground.

Sun Wukong’s smile grew even wider because a notification also echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have completed the suggestion—using a magic treasure to suppress the karmic force on Ao Lie, and you have obtained a sixth-tier treasure chest]

"Open!"

[You have opened the sixth-tier treasure chest, congratulations on obtaining the Ancestral Dragon Art, second-level insight into the Dao of Artifacts, and second-level insight into the Laws of Formation]

"Ancestral Dragon Art?" Sun Wukong was very surprised; the name alone suggested it was the cultivation technique of the Ancestral Dragon.

After checking the memories that had appeared in his mind, he quickly grasped the essence of it.

The Ancestral Dragon Art was different from the methods of the Immortal and Demon paths; this was a cultivation technique that primarily focused on bloodline cultivation and was most suited for the Dragon Race.

"Hehe, my disciple truly has good fortune," Sun Wukong laughed again, looking at Ao Lie who was prostrating before him, and said with a smile, "Disciple, your karmic shackles have been suppressed, but you still lack a cultivation method,

I will now pass on a technique to you and hope that you diligently cultivate it and soon achieve the fruit of eternal life."

"A cultivation method?" Ao Lie was full of anticipation.

Then with a lift of his hand, Sun Wukong pointed a finger, and a speck of spiritual light entered Ao Lie’s forehead.

"Ancestral Dragon Art?!" Ao Lie’s eyes widened immediately, as if struck by thunder, he was shocked and overjoyed, his entire body trembling, and tears welling up in his eyes—this was excitement that came from the depths of his bloodline.

His father, the Guangjin Dragon King, had been the last true dragon and had told him about the splendor of the Dragon Race in the Ancient Primordial Era.

For instance, the Ancestral Dragon as the progenitor of the Dragon Race who had led the Dragons in contending with the Phoenix and Kirin races for supremacy in the Vast Wilderness.

However, after the great catastrophe of the dragons and phoenixes, the three races rapidly declined.

Unlike Yuan Feng, who left her lineage to her two children.

When the Ancestral Dragon transformed into the earth’s veins, no inheritance was left behind, and coupled with the existence of the karmic shackles, the true dragons became rarer and rarer, which posed a great problem for the Dragon Race’s lineage.

If not counting Ying Long and Zhu Long, those ancient dragon race powerhouses whose whereabouts in hiding are unknown, then the strongest of the Three Realms’ Dragon Race would be the Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang, a Golden Immortal realm Karmic Dragon.

One can imagine just how far the Dragon Race had declined.

But now things were different!

Ao Lie excitedly imagined; his karmic shackles had been suppressed, and now he had the Ancestral Dragon Art passed down by his master—there would be no longer any insurmountable obstacles in his cultivation!

But why did his master possess the Ancestral Dragon Art, which the Dragon Race had lost for countless years?

Ao Lie suppressed the curiosity in his heart, knowing that this was not something he should question.

Afterward, Sun Wukong gave some pointers and then let Ao Lie cultivate on his own, while he himself opened the advice system to consult the online friends about his previous questions.

"I am Sun Wukong; just now, the Jade Emperor called Ao Lie to guard the Peach Garden. May I ask the seniors here, what was the Jade Emperor’s intention?"

At the same time, he attached the reminder from Taibai Jinxing to the question.

Many replies soon appeared.

Outrageous: "Holy shit, a path I had never considered; is he planning to let the little white dragon wreak havoc in the Heavenly Court? But the question is, can he even start a commotion?"

Zi Lu: "It seems unlikely; the little white dragon doesn’t have our brother monkey’s unruly temperament, nor does he have that bold and fearless spirit."

Passing Water Blazing Flame: "Wrong, unlike monkey bro who is lawless, looking at Ao Lie’s life experiences, he must be a cautious and careful dragon."

Amusing Cow Lol: "Not necessarily, based on the background simulated by the questioner, Ao Lie dared to publicly take a master, which shows he has a spirit of adventure,

and in the original timeline, he even set fire to the Luminous Pearl given by the Jade Emperor as a reward; these are all bold actions—where’s the caution in that?"

Jiang Zhongmin: "The person above makes a good point; perhaps the Jade Emperor saw his rashness and impetuosity, luring the enemy out and then letting monkey bro behead them."
