Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 185: The Mountain Rain is Coming

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Mountain Rain is Coming

On the eve of the Peach Banquet, the Jade Pool had already been bustling with preparations, ensuring everything required for the event was ready.

The previously destroyed Peach Orchard had been reconstructed under the supervision of Ao Lie, but those withered peach trees would still need at least ten thousand years to bloom and bear fruit again.

The immortals could only hope that more peaches still remained in the Heavenly Emperor’s Miro Palace; this would increase their chances of receiving these celestial rewards.

However, just as the immortals eagerly awaited, turmoil arose in the realms.

In the west sea, located on Gathering Dwell Continent and Phoenix Qilin Continent, part of the lands of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, were the sealing grounds for some ancient fierce beasts. On that day, the seals in both places loosened almost simultaneously, as the malignant aura of primordial evil beasts rampaged through the two continents, shocking and unsettling all sides of the Three Realms.

In the Ancient Primordial Era, before the Innate three clans of dragons, phoenixes, and qilins dominated the Vast Wilderness, it was the world of the ancient fierce beasts.

Later, the Innate three clans joined forces and suppressed countless ancient fierce beasts.

When the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou attempted to prove his Dao through slaughter, some of the ancient fierce beasts broke their seals and followed the Demon Ancestor creating chaos in the Vast Wilderness, but they were all re-sealed by the Taoist Supreme One, Hong Jun, in the end.

Now that the seals in those two places had loosened, without the need for the immortals to plead, the Jade Emperor immediately decreed that Marshal of the Central Altar Ne Zha lead the Celestial Sky Opposing Army to Gathering Dwell Continent, and also ordered Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy to lead eighty thousand heavenly river navy forces to Phoenix Qilin Continent, to guard both continents and quell the unrest.

...

Palace of the Emperor of Eternal Life.

Southern Extremity Longevity Star, Ziwei Great Emperor, and Hook Chen Great Emperor had gathered there, and Tai Yi, who had just hurried to the Heavenly Court, had also arrived.

"How is it?" asked the Southern Extremity Longevity Star.

"Elder Brother, the Buzhou Mountain continent is experiencing a congregation of demons stirring up trouble," said Tai Yi, "Although the Earth Opposing Department is powerful, it will take some time to pacify this demon turmoil.

In addition, the ancient seals of Gathering Dwell Continent and Phoenix Qilin Continent indeed have loosened. The aura of ancient evil beasts circulates through the lands of both continents, giving rise to many formidable demons."

"It seems I was overanxious," the Southern Extremity Longevity Star said with a slight nod.

Although the Earth Opposing Department was dispatched to the mortal realm after continual requests from their Chan Teaching, now the Celestial Sky Opposing Army and the heavenly river navy have also descended to the mortal realm.

As a result, all three of the Jade Emperor’s celestial armies were absent from the Heavenly Court, leaving the vast Heavenly Holy Realm unexpectedly vulnerable.

It can’t help but raise suspicions, it’s just too coincidental!

Tai Yi asked, "Elder Brother, do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to take action?"

"The Heavenly Emperor was able to assume power so quickly, all thanks to Sun Wukong alone. If we do not eliminate him soon, our Chan Teaching will suffer even greater losses," said the Southern Extremity Longevity Star.

"Immortal Elder, I think we should still be cautious," said the Ziwei Great Emperor.

But Tai Yi sneered, "What, do you not trust my investigation? Or do you not believe in the strength of our Chan Teaching?"

The Ziwei Great Emperor frowned, "That’s not it; I just feel that all these events happening together is a bit unusual."

Tai Yi taunted, "What would you know? Back then, the Sect of Interception acted stubbornly, and Uncle Tongtian attempted to recreate the elemental disaster of earth, fire, water, and wind, resulting in the shattering of the Primordial realm.

Although the Taoist ancestor used fragments of the Primordial realm to reestablish the Three Realms, this world is no longer as splendid as it once was. It’s only natural for the ancient seals to loosen. What could possibly be unusual about that?"

The Ziwei Great Emperor looked displeased but said nothing more.

Hook Chen Great Emperor smiled and said, "Elder Brother, your concerns are valid, but Tai Yi Uncle’s words are not wrong either.

I believe that regardless of whether there is an issue, the Heavenly Court is indeed vulnerable at this moment, and this is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss."

After listening to their debate and pondering for a while, the Southern Extremity Longevity Star spoke solemnly, "Let’s test the waters first; if there are no issues, then we shall take this opportunity to dispose of Sun Wukong."

"Last time, Bo Yikao said that what Sun Wukong cares about most is the Fruit Mountain, so let’s start from there,"

Ziwei Great Emperor fell silent, then left the Palace of the Emperor of Eternal Life along with Hook Chen Great Emperor and Lei Zhenzi.

Tai Yi Zhenren, following the arrangements of the Southern Extremity Longevity Star, went down to the Eastern Victorious Divine State in the mortal realm.

In the Northern Pole of the Heavenly Court, after Ziwei Great Emperor returned to his palace, he sat alone in the dimly lit great hall, surrounded by no radiance, a trace of coldness and mockery flashing through his pitch-black pupils.

"Fools."

...

Ever since Sun Wukong returned from his quest for immortality and took an official position in Heaven, the Fruit Mountain had been undergoing constant changes.

First, all the monkeys embarked on the path of cultivation, benefiting from the environment of this cave heaven and blessed land. In the span of hundreds of years, quite a number of monkeys achieved immortality through cultivation.

Then there was Sun Wukong, who, when equipping the heavenly soldiers with Spirit Guiding Instruments, sent back a batch of the replaced magic weapons and treasures, fully arming the monkey troops.

Additionally, those seventy-two Demon Kings of the caves also received Sun Wukong’s rewards. Although their weapons were not as fine as the monkeys’, they were still better than the shoddy magic weapons they used to wield.

It can be said that Fruit Mountain was no longer a weak demon tribe that the Demon King Bull could bully at will; it had now become one of the top powers in the demon realm.

One day, Tai Yi Zhenren quietly arrived at this place. He concealed his form, observing the cave heaven and blessed land from the sky.

"This is indeed a place rich in creation and fortune!" A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by pity, "Occupied by these barbaric demons, such a waste!"

The fortune of this place was even greater than that of his Qianyuan Mountain Golden Light Cave.

If he could cultivate here, perhaps he could set foot on the path of severing the three corpses earlier, just like his senior brother, Guang Chengzi, becoming a Quasi-Saint at an earlier time!

"I’d have to take care of Sun Wukong first," Tai Yi Zhenren didn’t conceal the greed in his heart. He was indeed no match for Sun Wukong, but the Chan Teaching was enough.

With this in mind, he scoured the area once again from the sky, then transformed with a shake of his body, turning into the spitting image of Sun Wukong. Finally, he descended from the clouds and arrived in front of the Water Curtain Cave.

"The Great King has returned, the Great King has returned!" Numerous monkey soldiers, clad in armor and wielding spears, surrounded him, all overjoyed.

Tai Yi Zhenren, disguising himself as Sun Wukong, recalled Sun Wukong’s manners and speech, planning to deal with these monkey soldiers before swiftly finding a monkey that could take command on Sun Wukong’s behalf, and then give orders.

But before he could enter the cave, he saw two figures walking out from the Water Curtain Cave, causing his heart to skip a beat.

One was a dashing young monk, and the other was a robust ox demon with formidable horns.

He had some impression of the monk, having seen him previously at a martial arts tournament, and he seemed to be a revered Buddhist disciple by the name of Golden Cicada.

As for the ox demon, it must be the Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong’s sworn elder brother in the mortal world.

The problem was, with Sun Wukong still in the Heavenly Court, how could these two be here?

Tai Yi Zhenren didn’t have time to think further and was about to speak.

However, the Bull Demon King greeted him with a loud laugh first, "Haha, dear brother, why have you suddenly returned?"

Tai Yi Zhenren, impersonating Sun Wukong, scratched his head and chuckled, "Hehe, there have been so many changes in the Heavenly Court lately, I was really worried about home, so I thought I’d come back to check on things."

The Bull Demon King stepped closer, lamenting, "Indeed, the changes have been too great."

Golden Cicada, who had been silent the whole time, stared at the Monkey King in front of him for a long while before suddenly saying, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger."

"What?" Tai Yi Zhenren didn’t understand the meaning but sensed something was amiss.
