Primordial World: You Asked Me to Sell Goods, But I Became the Supreme of All Heavens

The general store, that was Sun Wukong's hope now.

At this moment, Sun Wukong had no intention of staying in the Underworld and left directly.

"Sun Wukong." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes flickered with light. He did not pursue Sun Wukong.

For Ksitigarbha, the reason Sun Wukong knew about Journey to the West was what he needed to focus on.

Had a Saint interfered with the Calamity?

"Perhaps..." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said faintly, "I should leave the Underworld for a trip."

Above the Heavenly Court, officials were gathered.

Sitting on the high throne was the Jade Emperor, the overt ruler of the Heavenly Court.

The topic of discussion this time was a monkey, that monkey named Sun Wukong.

Previously, a Dragon King from the Dragon Palace had mentioned Sun Wukong stealing treasures from the Dragon Palace, and now an official from the Underworld had come to report to the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, how to deal with Sun Wukong needed careful consideration.

"Your Majesty, your subject Li Jing is willing to lead the Heavenly Soldiers to capture the Demon Monkey." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, directly capturing the Demon Monkey, I feel it's not appropriate." Taibai Jinxing, with his white hair and beard, also came forward and said, "Perhaps we can try offering amnesty."

"Taibai, offering amnesty would not be good for our Heavenly Court, it would damage our reputation," Li Jing frowned.

To Li Jing, Sun Wukong was merely a mere Demon Monkey.

"Your Majesty, please make the final decision," Taibai Jinxing said.

"Hmm..." the Jade Emperor said faintly, "Let's follow the method of our beloved Taibai. Offer Sun Wukong a position in the Heavenly Court. Coincidentally, there's an opening for a Bimawen."

"Bimawen?" Taibai Jinxing was taken aback.

Originally, Taibai Jinxing intended for Sun Wukong to come to the Heavenly Court for an official position, a good one at that.

But now, His Majesty had assigned him the role of Bimawen.

That wasn't considered an official position, but a minor clerk, someone who looked after horses.

"Your Majesty..." Taibai Jinxing wanted to say more.

"My dear minister, I trust you. Go," the Jade Emperor waved his hand.

At this moment, Li Jing said nothing.

Assigning someone as Bimawen was not a good position.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Taibai Jinxing gave a wry smile and accepted the task.

He was to travel to Flower-Fruit Mountain to offer amnesty to Sun Wukong.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, I'm here again." After returning from the Underworld, Sun Wukong immediately came to the general store where Wu Feng was located.

"Why are you here so soon? Did you get some good stuff again?" Wu Feng opened the door, let Sun Wukong in, and teased him.

"Shopkeeper, I did get some things. See how many Exchange Points they're worth." Sun Wukong waved his hand.

With a clanging sound.

Items landed on the ground one by one.

The Soul-Reaping Rope, the Wailing Stick, the Yin Soul Blade...

By all appearances, these were all items from the underworld.

Chapter Seven: The Power to Easily Manipulate Fate

General Store.

Looking at the Spiritual Treasures at his feet, Wu Feng revealed a smile. "Sun Wukong, did you rob the Underworld?"

"Shopkeeper, it's their compensation for King Yama wrongly arresting me and taking me to the Underworld," Sun Wukong's face flushed slightly.

Facing Wu Feng, Sun Wukong still felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, he had indeed robbed the Underworld and emptied out many Underworld Officers.

There were still many standard uniforms on the ground.

"Let me calculate..." A beam of light enveloped the Spiritual Treasures at his feet.

"That's a total of one thousand one hundred Exchange Points. You can look for something that resonates with you in the general store, or you can do as before and find a book to read," Wu Feng suggested.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper." Sun Wukong's face lit up with joy.

One thousand one hundred Exchange Points was quite a sum, making his thorough search of the Underworld worthwhile.

As for reading books, Sun Wukong did not underestimate them.

They were no less valuable than pure treasures.

Before, he had obtained powerful cultivation techniques and a precious wisp of Essence Blood from Journey to the West (Book).

"Shopkeeper, I encountered a monk in the Underworld this time. He said his name was Ksitigarbha," Sun Wukong said. "I told him about the Journey to the West, and he seemed to know about it. Shopkeeper, is my destiny truly controlled by those Immortals and Gods?"

"Ksitigarbha." Wu Feng's eyes shifted. "Sun Wukong, the monk you met is no ordinary person. He is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one of the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. His strength is no less than Guanyin Bodhisattva's."

"Guanyin Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong's gaze sharpened.

Back when he went to Patriarch Bodhi to study, he had seen many statues of Guanyin in the mortal realm.

This Bodhisattva was very unusual.

"As for whether your destiny is being manipulated, I think you already know the answer in your heart," Wu Feng said slowly.

After his experience in the Underworld and encountering Ksitigarbha, Wu Feng understood that Sun Wukong had already reached some certainty in his heart. He just couldn't believe it, which was why he was asking Wu Feng.

After all, in Sun Wukong's eyes, Wu Feng was a Great Power, a very formidable one.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper. I understand." Sun Wukong's eyes burned with a fierce flame, a fire of anger and fighting spirit.

He, Sun Wukong, would not be manipulated by anyone.

Taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, Sun Wukong began looking at the various cabinets around him.

For Sun Wukong now, increasing his strength was the most important thing.

The cabinets in the general store contained many treasures, as well as heavenly materials and earthly treasures, all of which could directly or indirectly enhance his strength.

Unconsciously, Sun Wukong found himself standing before a cabinet filled with books again.

Journey to the West (Book) was still in a corner of the cabinet. Sun Wukong then looked at the other books.

A Record of a Mortal's Cultivation, Seeking Demon, Covering the Sky, Perfect World, Yang Shen... and so on.

Although Sun Wukong knew their names, he still didn't know what was inside them.

To pick one up and read it required spending ten points first, so Sun Wukong decided to be cautious.

"Huh, what's this..." Sun Wukong's gaze fixed on a book, unblinking. The title read Journey to the West (Part 1).

"Journey to the West (Part 1)." Sun Wukong murmured to himself, placing his hand on the book and picking it up.

Naturally, his own exchange points were deducted at this moment.

With exchange points, deductions were very convenient; there was no need to communicate with Wu Feng.

The general store was quite intelligent in a way.

More importantly, this book was called Journey to the West. In Journey to the West (Book), there was also mention of the Journey to the West.

That was his, Sun Wukong's, destiny.

Perhaps in this Journey to the West, he could learn more.

"Oh..." Wu Feng, standing nearby, watched Sun Wukong's actions and a smile appeared on his face.

Sun Wukong's choice this time had indeed surprised Wu Feng.

Among so many items, he had only noticed this book.

Journey to the West (Part 1) contained some events about Sun Wukong.

It would also be the beginning of Sun Wukong's path to changing his destiny.

"Sun Wukong, let's see how far you can go in the end," Wu Feng said softly.

Wu Feng found it very interesting to see how he could change this world.

"Rustle, rustle..."

Sun Wukong sat in a corner, picked up Journey to the West, and began to read.

As he read Journey to the West, Sun Wukong quickly discovered something: this was a story about him.

From his birth from the Five-Colored Stone on Flower-Fruit Mountain, his growth on Flower-Fruit Mountain, his journey to the Cave of Three Stars to become a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi.

Then, his havoc in the Dragon Palace, his havoc in the Underworld...

"Huh, that's not right. The Underworld is different," Sun Wukong noticed. "Could it be that the me here is my original destiny?"
