Chapter 746: Crisis, The Golden Cicada Is In Crisis
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The Heavenly Courts is in trouble this time. Fellow Daoist, have you heard?”
“Of course I’ve heard of it. The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, has abilities and natural mystical abilities. He fought twelve times against Nezha and the outcome for all twelve battles was a tie!
The demons of the five continents are in an uproar.”
“Hmph, I didn’t expect the Heavenly Courts to face this one day!”
Eh?
In a Sector near the five continents.
Li Changshou wore a black robe and had the skin of an old Daoist priest of the Void Bodhi. He heard the news at a place where immortals gathered to communicate.
Little Nezha and Sun Wukong fought twelve times? That doesn’t make sense.
Li Changshou picked up the tea in front of him and sniffed it. He was puzzled.
Now, Nezha can already endure twelve battles without erupting with murderous aura?
At that moment, Nezha was still a Connate Dao Body of the human race. Moreover, his murderous aura had become Nezha’s hidden trump card against the enemy. If Nezha unleashed all his power, the current Sun Wukong would not be able to withstand it.
Could it be that I have misjudged Sun Wukong’s strength?
Li Changshou muttered in his heart and secretly cast the Wind Speech Incantation. The conversation in the places where immortals gathered in a radius of 5,000 kilometers surged over.
Li Changshou used his clear Dao heart to suppress his main body. He tried his best to gather information about the battle between Nezha and Sun Wukong.
The twelfth battle could be confirmed to be true. They had fought for more than a month and fought almost every three days.
Nezha used his baneful aura, but he could not completely suppress Sun Wukong every time before the baneful aura lost control.
The more Sun Wukong fought, the more valiant he became. He could not do anything to Nezha.
The Heavenly Courts fell into an awkward situation. They could not advance or retreat. Nezha’s stubborn temper rose. Now, he did not listen to anyone. Every time he rested, he would fight Monkey.
This battle had really made the Monkey King famous.
As Nezha had the advantage every time, he had proven his abilities. The reputation of the three Sea Gathering Gods became even more deafening.
Li Changshou could not help but mutter to himself…
Is the Dao Ancestor’s control over the script so weak? This seems different from the Journey to the West in my memory.
From another perspective, Li Jing was the one who was feeling awkward. It was not the Heavenly Courts. There were already many experts in the Heavenly Courts. If the Jade Emperor was really angry, he could use his authority as a god to order one or two experts. It would only take a moment for him to descend to the mortal world to catch monkeys.
Nezha and Sun Wukong were known as the strongest Golden Immortals. No matter how good they were at fighting, they could not stop the Dharma treasures from falling and the array formation from trapping them.
Li Changshou thought to himself. His immortal senses slowly spread out and almost enveloped the entire Chiliocosm.
This place was very close to the five continents. There were naturally many traces of the demons.
Li Changshou quickly found the “stronghold” of the demons. After a slight investigation, he knew what the situation was like in the Huaguo Mountain battle from the perspective of the demons.
The demons are finished.
The battle there had actually been used by the Dao Ancestor. He had baited more experts of the demon race to Huaguo Mountain and turned it into the number one holy land of the demon race. From there, he had captured all the remnant ancient essence energy of the demon race.
The battle that was delayed…
Nezha and Wukong were on par…
The gradually excited demons and the silent Heavenly Courts…
The Dao Ancestor would probably be very lonely if he did not have an opponent in this game.
Li Changshou stopped using the Wind Speech Incantation that was used by the Void Bodhi for the first time. He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up to leave.
He was on the way back.
Originally, Li Changshou had planned to return to the five continents to make the final preparations while Sun Wukong was flying to the sky for the second time.
Although he had been warned by the Dao Ancestor not to return to the five continents, he was about to flip the table. There was naturally no need to worry.
Sometimes, one has to take some risks in life.
The opportunity was right in front of him. He had to take a gamble, even if… it was just for the sake of 0.02% chance of winning.
He had done everything he could. Now, he had to find an opportunity.
After flying out of the Chiliocosm, the figure of the Void Bodhi gradually hid in the void. It hid in the deepest part of the universe and floated at the boundary of the five elements of the Three Realms. It slowly approached the five continents.
At the same time, in the Kun Peng Mystic Realm, Li Changshou opened his eyes, which he had not seen for a long time. He was about to reveal a victorious smile when he suddenly saw…
Uh, why did it change?
Warm curtains were hung everywhere, and bright red words of joy were pasted on them.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He was about to fight the Dao Ancestor. Why did the rear start to forcefully “insert the flag” for him?
He even inserted a black flag with an extremely powerful curse like “marry after fighting the Dao Ancestor”!
Ah.
Li Changshou frowned and focused. He immediately made up his mind to look for Yun Xiao and Ling’e to get married first. However, he realized that his actions were a little rash.
As a longevity immortal, a rising talent of the Primordial World, one of the top Zenith Heaven Immortals in the world, the wielder of the Great Dao of Equalization, and one of the few living beings that the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun was most afraid of, he could not always be superstitious about the things that he did in his previous life.
Moreover, Yun Xiao and Ling’e did not say anything.
It was not a big problem.
At that moment, the Primordial World was indeed about to erupt. If he did not rush over in time, the effect of the final battle might be greatly reduced.
Killing the Dao Ancestor was not his ultimate goal.
What he wanted to do the most was to undo the restrictions that had been tied to the Primordial World since the beginning of time.
“Yun? Junior Sister?”
Li Changshou called softly and sent his voice to the soundproof array formation in the corner. However, he realized that there was no one inside the array formation.
He scanned with his immortal senses. The array formations could not stop him. He could see Yun Xiao, Ling’e, and a few female immortals drinking tea in the hall not far away. There were also some female immortals who were working.
A Connate mighty figure personally sewed a red veil… This could be considered respecting the traditions of the human race.
After thinking about it, Li Changshou left a jade token floating in front of him and wrote a few words about the subsequent arrangements.
Then, he ordered the Four Mei Generals to go all out and permeate the Primordial World. While ensuring that he was connected to the Void Bodhi, he activated two backup fake bodies.
One was a negative karma demon that was difficult to get rid of.
One was a Heaven Immortal realm Qi Refinement cultivator of the Middle Continent. The Qi Refinement cultivator should feel guilty and his Dao heart was not perfect. Therefore, the otherworldly demons had an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Li Changshou had secretly “nurtured” those two targets for hundreds of years. At that moment, Li Changshou did not do it at the same time. Instead, he carefully attacked one after another and refined his second essence soul like the Void Bodhi.
He named it No. 2 and No. 3.
Li Changshou was multitasking. He controlled the negative karma demon and secretly rushed to Huaguo Mountain from the edge of the North Continent.
No. 2 did not have to do anything. He just hid there and watched to confirm the time of every “step.”
He could not use the deduction method to investigate.
Otherwise, just like when the two countries were fighting, one country was still using the satellite guidance technology of the other country. It would be easily countered.
Li Changshou rode the incarnation of No. 2 and hid all the way. At the same time, he digested No. 2’s memories and obtained a lot of information.
The demons had already lost their patience. Many ancient demons who had survived previously were already stirring and openly expressed their support for the beautiful monkey king of the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
The demons had activated a plan of the Seven Little Saints. They wanted to promote seven experts and become the idols of the demons… Ahem, become the benchmark of the demons. They would gather the demons’ hearts and then get along with the Heavenly Courts.
Although there was an Anti-Heaven plan, they did not dare to really rebel. However, the Anti-Heaven could become a method for the demons to join the Heavenly Courts.
In fact, the demons could not be blamed for having such wild thoughts. Their memories regarding Li Changshou had been wiped out by the Dao Ancestor. Although they were afraid of the Heavenly Courts, they were not afraid.
If not for the blue ripples, he reckoned that the remaining experts of the demon race would definitely swarm over and kill the arrogant stone monkey.
The deterrence of Li Changshou.
Li Changshou landed No. 2 steadily. He was not far from Huaguo Mountain and left a portion of his attention there.
Then, he shifted his attention to No. 3 and walked out of a sect in the Middle Continent towards the North Continent.
In name, he was going to pick herbs. In reality, he was going to see the current situation of the Magi of the North Continent.
The incarnation No.1 was naturally the Void Bodhi. At that moment, he was slowly approaching the ends of the world in the South Ocean. His first stop was to go to the spiritual mountain. In name, he was going to find the Saint who had received him and see if he could undo the seal of the Heavenly Dao against the Dao realm.
In fact, he wanted to visit the Golden Cicada that was about to appear.
He was not a petty immortal. He had long let go of that grudge in the past.
He had gone to cause trouble for Jin Chanzi purely for the sake of the greater good!
He looked serious.
The three lines were opened. The three fake bodies were either silent or moving. Li Changshou found the feeling that he had not felt for a long time. His heart burned with a fighting spirit.
He suppressed his Clear Dao Heart and continued to remain calm.
“The third round has yet to be decided.”
…
In the bamboo forest of the Purple Cloud Palace,
A few Dao runes circulated, and the gray-robed old Daoist priest appeared behind the burly old Daoist priest again. It was the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao’s will. Although it had been suppressed by the Three Sovereigns of the human race previously, it still retained a lot of power.
“How is it?”
The Dao Ancestor asked slowly.
The gray-robed old Daoist priest answered in a low voice, “I’ve already confirmed it once. In the Kun Peng Mystic Realm, we are indeed preparing for Li Changshou’s wedding with Yun Xiao and Ling’e. Kun Peng will also return to the Kun Peng Mystic Realm.”
“Oh? Grand wedding?”
The Dao Ancestor smiled and shook his head slightly.
The gray-robed old Daoist priest walked to the Dao Ancestor and sat down. He looked at the situation on the Creation Jade Disc and asked, “Are you going to send him a congratulatory gift?”
“There’s no need.” The Dao Ancestor sighed and said, “We can’t even get rid of our human desires. How can we talk about balance between the world and living beings?”
The gray-robed old Daoist priest said, “Fellow Daoist, you seem to be dissatisfied with that.”
“No.” The Dao Ancestor looked at the gray-robed old Daoist priest and said slowly, “When the Western Sect’s calamity is completed, we will fuse together and become the final righteousness of the world.
Fellow Daoist, do you have any other concerns? ”
The gray-robed old Daoist priest was silent for a while and said, “I’m not a living being. I’m the will of the Heavenly Dao and the will of the world. I appeared when the ancient Primordial World was about to shatter. Fellow Daoist, if you want to unite the world, I will not have any worries.”
“Okay.”
“When will you let Sun Wukong set up the Anti-Heaven flag?”
“Today.”
The Dao Ancestor smiled and pointed at the Creation Jade Disc.
The situation outside the Water Curtain Cave of the Flower-Fruit Mountain appeared on the jade plate.
In the place where the sun shone, the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, was lying beside his stone seat and eating happily with a bunch of bananas.
Beside him, a few Demon Kings praised Sun Wukong for his bravery. They were the “rookies” of the demon race who had sworn to Sun Wukong previously. They were also the executors of the demon race’s “Seven Little Saints” plan.
At that moment, apart from the Bull Demon King, the other five sworn brothers were all present. They had just arrived.
Although Sun Wukong was the youngest and ranked last among the disciples, he vaguely had the demeanor of a “big brother”.
He had no choice.
The Flood Dragon Demon King smiled and said, “Brother, you have now made a name for the demons. You have beaten the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals until they are covered in dust. You have really helped the demons vent their anger!”
The Roc Demon King opened his beak and cursed, “The Heavenly Courts don’t give credit to those who are capable. They don’t know our sworn brother’s abilities! Isn’t it obvious that they are mocking us by giving the position of Bi Mawen?!”
“Ah.” Sun Wukong stuffed a banana in his mouth and smiled. “Now, we only need to defeat these Heavenly Soldiers and let them know how powerful they are. They will not dare to invade Huaguo Mountain again. Brothers, are we going to attack together later?”
“Alright!”
The five demon kings agreed and were rather happy. Their eyes burned with fighting spirit.
A voice suddenly sounded from the side. “Your Majesty! You are already flying the flag of the demons high. You should change your name!”
Sun Wukong turned his head and looked over. It was a Demon King who had come to Huaguo Mountain earlier to seek refuge.
Immediately, other demon kings agreed. They said that it was necessary to give him a famous name that was worthy of his abilities.
The name ‘Beautiful Monkey King’ was too delicate.
Sun Wukong could not resist the persuasion of the demons. With a nod, the demons spoke one after another. Names popped up one after another, and the scene was instantly chaotic.
Suddenly, he heard a little monkey shout, “Your Majesty, your abilities are greater than the Heavenly Courts. Your mystical abilities are stronger than the Heavenly Courts. Why don’t you call yourself the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal!?!”
“Oh?” Sun Wukong blinked and carefully thought about it. He felt that this name was really domineering. He also felt that he had vented his anger.
He said firmly, “Let’s call it the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal! Children, make a huge flag and hang it on the mountaintop!”
The monkeys agreed loudly. The Demon Kings of the Flood Dragon and Roc were also excited. They each set their names and ordered the demon soldiers they had brought to immediately sew the flag.
Half a day later, thunder rumbled in Huaguo Mountain. The world was gloomy.
The seven flags slowly stood up from the top of Huaguo Mountain. They each had different patterns and styles, but they were also majestic and indescribable.
In the middle of the flag was the name ‘Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’. There were three flags on the left and right. They were the Great Sage of Pingtian, the Great Sage of the Seas, the Great Sage of Chaos, the Great Sage of Mountain Shifter, the Great Sage of Wind and Exorcism.
Although the Bull Demon King had yet to arrive, his brothers had helped him with his name and flag.
Boom!
The heavenly might suddenly descended and turned into lightning roars. Purple lightning shone on the six figures standing under the flag.
The demonic aura in Huaguo Mountain soared!
In the stone wall of the valley not far away, Li Changshou watched the scene with his Great Demon incarnation. He felt a little emotional.
If the Saints did not appear, the demons would call them Great Saints.
Presumably, the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Courts could not sit still. After all, an enthusiastic expert like Brother Zhao might feel that Huaguo Mountain was too noisy and casually slap it.
The Dao Ancestor should be controlling them from behind. There was no need to worry about that.
Next, it should be the second edict of the Heavenly Courts to let Sun Wukong go to the Heavenly Courts to be the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.
Li Changshou did not know what choice Sun Wukong, whom he had taught, would make and whether he would easily bow down to the Heavenly Courts. To be fair, Li Changshou hoped that Wukong could protect the word ‘righteous’.
As long as Wukong made a choice, he could destroy the stage of the Journey to the West calamity at any time.
Look at him.
After all, he was the second most satisfactory disciple. The disciple Li Changshou was most satisfied with was naturally Sun Wukong’s Eldest Senior Sister, Long Ji.
The Golden Roc was less close to Li Changshou. His overall feelings for the Golden Roc were not as strong as the disciples he had personally taught.
At the ends of the South Ocean, the Void Bodhi escaped into the five continents and secretly rushed to the Aparagodānīya Continent.
Purple Cloud Palace, Purple Bamboo Forest.
The Dao Ancestor raised his eyebrows and looked outside the Creation Jade Disc. He naturally discovered the Void Bodhi and could not help but shake his head slightly.
The gray-robed old Daoist priest asked, “Patriarch Bodhi has already broken his promise. You can kill him directly.”
“It might be useful to keep him alive,” the Dao Ancestor said slowly. “It’s rare to see such an obedient disciple of the Saint. He only returned to find a guide and see if he can undo the Heavenly Dao shackles. Continue to keep an eye on the Kun Peng Mystic Realm. The most crucial moment of the Journey to the West’s calamity is about to arrive. Don’t let them come back and cause trouble.”
“Alright.” The gray-robed old Daoist priest’s figure slowly dissipated. “It will last forever.”
“For the longevity of the world.”
