Five Finger Mountain

Sun Wukong glanced back and saw that Tathagata's giant hand hadn't pursued him.

Sun Wukong was a bit puzzled at this moment, and even took out the Diary in his hand.

He had originally wanted to see if his benefactor had left any instructions.

He looked into the distance, and before his eyes, there seemed to be five great mountains.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was a bit confused, but he didn't remember there being five great mountains on the road when he came.

He looked left and right, and realized something was wrong. The speed of his feet began to slow down.

"What's wrong, monkey head, why aren't you running anymore?"

"Your hand can't catch up to me. I'm waiting for you."

Sun Wukong chuckled twice.

"You're thinking too much. Look, what is this?"

After Tathagata finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly erupted.

For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. Sun Wukong felt his feet were extremely unstable.

"What's going on?"

Sun Wukong never expected why this area would change so drastically.

"You really are a monkey head. You never escaped from my palm, hahahaha."

Buddha's laughter was cold and piercing.

It exploded in the monkey's ears.

At this time, even Sun Wukong, gripping the Golden Cudgel in his hand, desperately tried to resist, swinging it at the five great mountains.

But it was all in vain. The power was too terrifying, making it impossible for him to resist.

A strong sense of despair suddenly filled the monkey's heart.

The monkey lowered his head, feeling powerless.

He thought of his benefactor and quickly took out the Diary.

But the Diary was still blank, with no content at all.

"Monkey head, just surrender."

The cold words exploded in the monkey's ears.

The monkey said coldly, "Don't even think about it. I will never be willing to be your pawn in this life."

"You have no choice!"

"Why are you pushing me? Can't you see I'm watching?"

"How is it? How is it?"

"I'm curious too, hurry up and tell us."

Thousand-Mile Eye's eye twitched. "Stop rushing me, I'm watching."

"The monkey is trapped in these five great mountains."

"Ah, no, those don't look like five great mountains. They're Buddha's five fingers."

"The monkey won't be able to escape this time."

Thousand-Mile Eye had a smile on his face.

At this moment, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"I knew it. As soon as Buddha arrived, that monkey would surely be subdued."

"Hahahaha, that monkey head was quite arrogant before."

"Indeed, he doesn't have that imposing demeanor anymore."

However, they didn't mention their own embarrassed state before.

"Hurry up and clean this up."

The Jade Emperor reprimanded.

The surrounding officials immediately realized this and quickly went about their duties.

The Jade Emperor paced back and forth and then said, "Let's go and take a look."

Taibai Jinxing followed closely behind, and the two of them arrived at the South Heavenly Gate.

At this moment, Sun Wukong saw the five great mountains constantly transforming and smashing towards him.

Sun Wukong unleashed all his strength, using his Golden Cudgel to resist.

As for Chen Tong, he was leaning against a large rock, holding a blade of grass in his mouth, leisurely basking in the sun.

"What's going on?"

In Chen Tong's sight, the sky above seemed to hold five great mountains.

"Wait, what's going on?"

With a carp leap, he sprang to his feet.

"Don't tell me that monkey is causing chaos in the Heavenly Court again and got suppressed by Tathagata?!"

Chen Tong's spirits immediately lifted, and he spat out the grass he had been chewing.

"This absolutely cannot happen."

Sun Wukong in the sky looked down at the ground and noticed his benefactor.

"Benefactor, please save this old man, I can't hold on any longer!"

"This bald donkey, I really can't deal with him."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he felt a surge of hope.

This benefactor knew everything and could do anything.

He would surely be able to save him.

Chen Tong saw that the monkey's landing spot was right in his arms.

Chen Tong quickly dodged. This absolutely couldn't happen! What if he was crushed by a falling monkey from high up?

He had managed to lie low for over five hundred years.

If he were to be seriously injured by a falling monkey, how long would it take him to recover? When would he ever get his chance to shine?

Chen Tong spotted a river nearby and quickly said, "Stop resisting and fall into this river."

Sun Wukong hesitated upon hearing this. The five great mountains were directly in front of him.

Chen Tong urged, "Hurry, I'm not lying to you."

Sun Wukong nodded heavily, withdrew his Golden Cudgel, and with a Somersault Cloud, plunged directly into the river next to Chen Tong.

Tathagata Buddha was somewhat surprised by this turn of events.

He paid no mind to the Heavenly Immortal on the ground.

After all, with his cultivation, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Sun Wukong fell into the river and gasped for breath. He was naturally not a good swimmer.

Chen Tong leaned closer and asked, "How do you feel?"

Sun Wukong replied, "I'm fine, Benefactor, I'm not seriously hurt."

Chen Tong nodded and said, "Causing chaos in the Heavenly Palace, you're really brave."

Sun Wukong: "..."

"Benefactor, what should I do now? That bald donkey wants to capture me."

Chen Tong patted his chest and said, "Believe in me, and you shall have eternal life."

Sun Wukong slumped his head and rested by the riverbank.

Everything that had just happened had left him feeling exhausted.

Especially when facing those five great mountains.

He had been utterly spent, having used every ounce of his strength.

If not for the benefactor's appearance, he would have likely been worn down to death.

"Benefactor, thank you for saving my life."

"Alright, let's skip the pleasantries."

"Benefactor, my iron rod..."

Chen Tong was speechless. "What iron rod? Yours is golden."

Sun Wukong quickly chimed in, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

The two bantered back and forth.

Tathagata Buddha noticed the anomaly and said, "Insolent Heavenly Immortal, hand over the person immediately."

Chen Tong chuckled, "You want me to hand him over? Am I indebted to you, or do you owe me?"

"Give me a four-thousand-word reason, and explain properly why I should listen to you."

Tathagata Buddha was taken aback. In all his millennia, who had dared to speak to him so brazenly?
