Sun Wukong instantly pricked up his ears.
Great Peacock King?
He knew the origins of the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light... but he was deeply curious why Kong Xuan cared so much about him and treated him so well. First, he had sent him beyond the domain to temper himself, and now he had come to "pick him up"!

As the Child of Kalpa's Fortune, you should properly make this journey. It will benefit Heaven and Earth, and it will count as a deed of merit for you as well..."
Sun Wukong hastily nodded.

Embarrassment and anger appeared on Kong Xuan's face.

Kong Xuan actually hated that title. Compared to
