Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 63: Havoc in Heaven?

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Havoc in Heaven?

Because he had agreed to use the Spirit Guide Device in a contest for the Jie Jiao, Sun Wukong could not show off the magical artifact he had created everywhere in heaven before the martial arts conference.

Thinking of this, he connected to his intelligence network, Zhihu, to respond one by one to the several online seniors who had offered suggestions last time, with generally similar responses.

"Thank you, senior, for the advice. I have successfully refined the Spirit Guide Device..."

It wasn’t long before several online seniors replied.

Life without Intestines: "Haha, from now on you’ll be the Artifact Refining Monkey, pioneering the Spirit Guide Device and leading the transformation of magical artifacts in the mythological world. This achievement could be the foundation for establishing a whole new sect."

"Me, founding a sect?" Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up, an unimaginable and thrilling future he had never considered.

Daydream God: "Monkey bro, you’ve created the Spirit Guide Device, come and try something like airplanes, artillery, and galaxy battleships please. I really want to know what it feels like to shoot immortals with a cannon and experience Gatling Bodhisattva!"

"This Daydream friend seems to lack power and is asking me for help?" Sun Wukong, easily persuaded, did indeed want to fulfill Daydream’s wish, but he truly did not understand what were airplanes, artillery, and galaxy battleships.

He knew about Bodhisattva, but had never heard of Gatling Bodhisattva.

Buzz Cut Bro: "I’ve thought of a problem. Monkey bro invented the Spirit Guide Device in heaven, which might attract that smuggler’s covetous eyes. The questioner could simulate a plot based on this to capture the immortal smuggling heavenly weapons."

[You received a new suggestion: use the Spirit Guide Device to lure and capture the smuggler, completing the suggestion will reward you with a fifth-tier treasure chest]

"Oh?" Sun Wukong’s playful eyes twinkled, and this actually aligned with his own thoughts; he had had this idea long before.

Continuing to read the reply.

Primal Chaos All-in-One: "Haha, feels like the simulated Sun Wukong has embarked on a completely different path now. Will there still be havoc in Heaven or a journey to the West?"

"Me causing havoc in Heaven?" Sun Wukong was very surprised.

Previously he had heard other online seniors mention the journey to the West, guessing it was because of the soul reaping issue that he was included in the core team of the journey project by the Buddhist community.

That’s why he had no fondness for Buddhism and later focused solely on making a name for himself in heaven.

But now, the Primal Chaos All-in-One senior was claiming that he would cause havoc in Heaven in the future?

This was someone who could foresee the future!

At this thought, Sun Wukong hastily replied and asked, "Senior, could you tell me why I would cause havoc in Heaven?"

Primal Chaos All-in-One replied: "Why would Sun Wukong cause havoc in Heaven? That’s an old and frequently discussed question, you really don’t know?"

Sun Wukong scratched his face: "I would like to hear the senior’s views."

Primal Chaos All-in-One: "I’ll just offer my opinion to serve as a reference for your upcoming simulations.

Simplifying it, it’s because Sun Wukong himself disregards authority and acts recklessly.

Upon ascending to heaven, he first complained about his low-ranking official title, and even after being titled Great Sage Equalling Heaven by the Jade Emperor, he was not content and was assigned to guard the Peach Orchard, where he ended up stealing many peaches.

Later, because he didn’t receive an invitation, he caused an uproar at the Peach Banquet, even eating Laozi’s nine revolutions Golden Core, causing a major disaster,

then heaven’s troops were sent to subdue him, leading to countless deaths and injuries among the demons of Fruit Mountain, and he himself was refined by Laozi in the Bagua Furnace.

Although he finally wreaked havoc in Heaven and it looked very gratifying, he was ultimately suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha.

It’s said to be five hundred years, but it was actually over six hundred years."

Reading this reply, Sun Wukong’s hand, scratching his face, froze there. Was this really his original life story? Ultimately to be suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for over six hundred years by the Buddha?

"Who is this Buddha, and why would I ask him for advice in the future!"

Ever since the soul reaping incident, having experienced the injustice of Ksitigarbha and knowing that the Buddhist community had included him in the journey project group without his consent, he had developed an aversion to Buddhism.

Now that he knew Buddha would later suppress him under the mountain for so long, he was naturally furious!

However, all the years of changed experiences had indeed made Sun Wukong somewhat more composed.

The Buddha, holder of the Western Paradise, is definitely one of the top powerhouses in all the Three Realms. He isn’t his match right now and will need to be more careful in future encounters.

Once calmed, Sun Wukong revisited the reply from Ancient Matters and realized that he indeed used to disregard any laws and act recklessly.

Clearly, he had changed much now.

Just as the Ancient Matters elder had said, his life had completely diverged onto another path.

Currently, the Jade Emperor still regarded him highly and Laozi had personally taught him the Path of Artifact Refining and the Way of Formations, forming a true master-disciple relationship.

As long as he didn’t cause trouble, didn’t steal peaches, didn’t steal the Golden Core, and didn’t disrupt the Peach Banquet, why would he ever create havoc in Heaven?

In the end, Sun Wukong also discovered a question: he had caused an uproar in Heaven, but why did the Buddha have to intervene to suppress him instead of the Heavenly powerhouses?

While pondering, Ancient Matters replied again, "Of course, based on the scenario simulated by the questioner, it seems that the Jade Emperor, in a bid to control Heavenly power, instigated Sun Wukong’s upheaval in Heaven.

After all, everyone knows monkeys love peaches, and yet the Jade Emperor purposefully asked the Monkey King to look after the Peach Garden. Isn’t that blatantly enticing someone to commit a crime?

From this, it’s evident that he wanted to legitimately destroy the peaches and Golden Core that could overcome calamities.

Then, through the turmoil in Heaven, he would destroy the old Heavenly order and rebuild a new one.

In this process, he likely made a deal with the Buddhist realm and agreed on the submission of the pilgrimage project, which is why the Buddha ultimately intervened to subdue Sun Wukong."

So it seems, Sun Wukong was still too naive, born without a mind to guard against others. Because of this, he had suffered much unknowingly in the future."

"The Jade Emperor is the one who harmed me?!" Sun Wukong’s gaze sharpened like a piercing arrow, frightening in its intensity.

Thinking carefully, it indeed seemed possible.

To speak precisely, the Jade Emperor had always been using him!

After he clarified the case of Six Ears Destroying Dragon Palace and the disturbance of the underground world, the Jade Emperor appointed him an official position, though he had already volunteered to be the Great Sage Equalling Heaven without any salary. Yet, this Celestial Emperor still appointed him as the supervisor over the Imperial Horse Guards.

Later, there were incidents like the murder of Deng Hua and the imprisonment of Xiao Zhen.

Although the netizens deduced that the traffickers, being cornered by the Jade Emperor, schemed against the disciples of the prominent immortals to compromise with the Emperor.

Looking back now, when the Jade Emperor began the investigation into the weapons smuggling, he probably foresaw the events that would unfold later, making it possible to effortlessly retrieve control over the Imperial Horse Guards and the Armory.

"Indeed, it’s not simple," Sun Wukong grew wary, suspecting that the Jade Emperor might have even anticipated Yang Chan’s return to Heaven.

After Xiao Zhen was imprisoned, the Jade Emperor appointed him, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, as the head of the Armory, charging him to find out who murdered Deng Hua.

On the surface, it seemed he wanted to uncover the smugglers, but after briefly investigating at the Armory, he knew that it should be the smugglers involved, only without evidence.

Such an obvious matter, would the Jade Emperor not be aware?

An insignificant figure like Earth Traveler Sun, was it worth deploying him, a Daluo Golden Immortal, to deal with?

"If I deduce this way, did he push me to the forefront actually wanting me to tackle a more troublesome entity?" Sun Wukong speculated.

After further contemplation, he weighed his options.

First, he must stay guarded against the Jade Emperor.

Second, whether or not his suspicions about the Jade Emperor were true, he needed to keep investigating.

Because, uncovering the smuggling case was also essential for him to find clues about Moluo and Six Ears.

Not only would this complete long-pending recommendations, but it would also create an opportunity to subdue Six Ears.
