Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 164: Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things?

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things?

Sun Wukong’s purpose was very clear, his visit was to check on the Three-Life Stone, not to demonstrate his martial prowess.

Therefore, he did not tangle with Guang Chengzi. After temporarily holding him off with arrow techniques, he continued toward the River of Forgetfulness.

Moreover, if they really fought, his chances of winning were not great.

Although the sixth realm of archery laws was at the mid-stage Quasi-Saint level in terms of Daoist realm, just a step away from the late-stage Quasi-Saint.

But he was still a Daluo Golden Immortal, and even if the power of his archery reached the Quasi-Saint level, he had no chance to defeat Guang Chengzi, who was at the Quasi-Saint Realm.

"Hmm, compared to these long-cultivating powerful beings, Old Sun is still too young," Sun Wukong knew where he was lacking. If he had more time, he wouldn’t consider these hypocrites of Chan Teaching worth noticing.

Thinking this, he transformed into a streak of golden light, speeding on his way, and soon he saw the blood-yellow River of Forgetfulness, filled with countless wandering ghosts, as well as numerous insects and snakes, emitting a strong stench.

Above the River of Forgetfulness, there was only one bridge, the Bridge of Helplessness, for the deceased souls on their path of reincarnation.

By the bridge, Meng Po was guarding a large pot, pouring Meng Po soup into the souls.

"You macaque, what are you doing in the underworld again?" Meng Po looked up at the void above.

Sun Wukong revealed himself and approached the bridge, chuckling, "Old Sun just missed Granny here."

Meng Po didn’t believe his words, leaning on her cane, she coughed and said, "Speak properly."

Sun Wukong pointed to the boulder on the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness: "Old Sun wants to check the Three-Life Stone."

Meng Po shook her head, "That stone records the past, present, and future lives of beings, only the dead can see it, you can’t, unless you’re willing to drink the soup from this old lady’s pot and agree to forget all your memories."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong scratched his face, understanding Meng Po’s implication. As it’s commonly said, the secrets of heaven must not be revealed, for if the living knew their past and future, the world would likely fall into chaos.

However, he did not need to know these things, the senior netizens of Zhihu are much more powerful than the Three-Life Stone!

With this in mind, he stepped forward, smiled and said, "Granny, someone has tampered with Old Sun’s marriage. This time, I just want to see the marriage recorded on the Three-Life Stone, and not the rest."

"Someone has tampered with your marriage?" A glint of light flashed in Meng Po’s dim eyes as she examined Sun Wukong, "Truly destined for a romantic calamity, in that case, you may take a look."

With that, she lifted her cane, emitting a misty light that fell onto the Three-Life Stone.

But just then, a golden seal rushed from the distant void, bringing a heavy pressure, and arrived instantaneously, blocking Meng Po’s misty light.

Guang Chengzi soon arrived, stopping by the Bridge of Helplessness, urgently exclaimed, "Please wait, Goddess!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong was not in a hurry anymore. As long as he got to the Bridge of Helplessness and Meng Po allowed him to look, no one could stop him.

He smiled, looking towards the elderly granny with poor vision.

Suddenly, Meng Po squinted at Guang Chengzi, asking, "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

Guang Chengzi’s face changed and he hurriedly said, "Goddess, you misunderstood, I am here on the Changsheng Great Emperor’s command to stop Sun Wukong from checking the Three-Life Stone, to prevent the leakage of heavenly secrets and ensuing chaos in the heavenly order."

Meng Po coughed and said, "The Three-Life Stone is in my underworld, when did it become his Changsheng Great Emperor’s business to dictate terms here?"

Guang Chengzi’s face darkened: "Does the Goddess really insist on this course?"

Meng Po ignored him, smiling at Sun Wukong, "Go ahead, write down your place of birth and name using mana, and you will see your marriage."

Saying this, she lifted her cane again, a misty light landing on the Three-Life Stone,

The stone immediately glistened, as if covered by a layer of gauze, sparkling brilliantly.

"Hehe," Sun Wukong scratched his face and laughed, without looking at Guang Chengzi, his figure flashed and he was before the Three-Life Stone.

Guang Chengzi looked displeased, but was helpless.

Given his status, he naturally knew that when Sun Wukong was summoned by the underworld, Meng Po, the incarnation of Houtu, had intervened on Sun Wukong’s behalf.

Although he didn’t know how the two of them met or what their connections were,

he was sure that if Sun Wukong wanted to read the marital fate recorded on the Three-Life Stone, then Houtu would definitely not obstruct him.

That’s why he had to prevent Sun Wukong from getting to this place.

Unfortunately, both he and the Senior Brother of the South Pole had underestimated the strength of this demon monkey.

At this moment, Sun Wukong stood before the Three-Life Stone.

Yang Chan, Yang Jian, and Taibai Venus’s figures also appeared in the distant void, quickly arriving by the side of the Naihe Bridge.

When Sun Wukong saw them, he just nodded lightly then waved his hand, and as mana surged, a line of text appeared on the Three-Life Stone: "Monkey King of Fruit Mountain, Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong."

Following that, another line of text emerged: "No wife, no concubines."

"Just as I thought!" Sun Wukong’s eyes shot forth a daunting brilliance.

Everything was as the netizens on Zhihu had said, he had eventually become a Buddha, without a woman.

Yang Chan, who had just arrived, felt as if she had been struck by lightning, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The previous warnings from the Weaver Girl had made her determined to leave Sun Wukong.

Back then, she was just sad and reluctant because she believed that she and Sun Wukong were destined to be together, but couldn’t be.

Later, upon hearing from the Old Man Under the Moon that Sun Wukong’s wife was Hou Shan’s daughter, Yang Chan, her joy was unmistakably surging.

But now, the Three-Life Stone revealed that Sun Wukong had no wife or concubines!

Yang Chan was not foolish; she immediately understood everything.

It turned out her marital fate with Sun Wukong had been altered, which explained why, in recent years, she had become a completely different person—obsessively infatuated with Sun Wukong, wanting to see him every moment.

Whereas, before this, she had liked Sun Wukong, but not to this crazy extent.

Taibai Venus and Yang Jian exchanged glances, knowing that Yang Chan must be feeling terrible now.

Yang Jian worriedly said, "Chan’er..."

Yang Chan didn’t even glance at him, feeling only an overwhelming sense of grief. With a flash, she too stood in front of the Three-Life Stone.

Guang Chengzi wanted to stop her, but seeing that Meng Po had no intention of obstructing, he could only let it be.

Seeing the celestial woman in yellow beside him, Sun Wukong paused before saying, "Chan’er, don’t look."

Yang Chan, with red eyes but a resolute expression, raised her hand and wrote with mana her birthplace and title: "Third Saint Mother Yang Chan of Mount Hua."

Next, the shimmering Three-Life Stone revealed another line of text: "Husband, scholar Liu Yanchang of Mount Hua."

At this sight, Yang Chan froze, tears involuntarily streaming down her face.

Seeing her cry, Sun Wukong also felt very upset, scratching his head in anguish, at a loss for what to do.

"Gosh, this is so annoying!" he finally exclaimed, "What ’Three-Life Stone fate determines three lives’! Old Sun never believed in fate!"

Ever since he acquired the Persuasion System, under the various advice of netizens on Zhihu, his fate had already experienced tremendous changes.

So, believe in fate! Fate does not determine everything!
