Dragon Palace
The story continues. Ma Feifei follows the Dragon King into the palace and into the main hall where the Dragon King entertains guests. The Dragon King invites Ma Feifei to take a seat and serves him tea, asking, "When did you attain Venerable Immortal, Immortal, and what immortal arts did you learn?"
How could Ma Feifei remember so clearly? He didn't copy "Journey to the West," so naturally he couldn't remember all the plot details. But luckily, he had a system. He asked the system for information on this part of the plot and imitated the dialogue between Sun Wukong and the Dragon King in the original work in a very convincing way.
"Since my birth, I have renounced worldly life and cultivated myself, attaining a body that is neither born nor dies. Recently, I have been teaching my children and grandchildren and guarding a mountain cave, but alas, I lack a weapon. I have long heard that my virtuous neighbor enjoys a luxurious palace and must have many divine artifacts. Therefore, I have come to request one."
"Attaining the Dao, Immortal Arts, a Body Without Birth or Death." Outside the projection, the important figures in mid-air silently noted down these keywords, and at the same time, they became even more interested in this Legendary-grade book, "Journey to the West," and in their minds, they had already determined that the power contained within was superior to that of other books.
After all, putting everything else aside, the fact that there are extra divine artifacts in it is enough to prove everything.
In the Azure Dragon Continent, only nine divine artifacts are known, while in Journey to the West, there are so many that there are even more to spare. How vast is this difference?
Inside the projection, the Dragon King couldn't refuse Ma Feifei's request, so he had to order the Guidu Commander to bring over a large halberd and present it to him.
Ma Feifei, too lazy to even look at the scene while sitting on the stone bench, simply recited from the original story. "Old... you don't know how to use a knife, please give me another one."
The Dragon King then had his eel-leading warrior bring over a Nine-Ancient Fork. Ma Feifei took it, twirled it a couple of times, and shook his head, saying, "Too light, and not handy. Please bestow upon me another one."
The Dragon King panicked and ordered someone to bring out a halberd with a painted handle, but the result was still unsuccessful. The subsequent plot naturally followed the original story. Later, the Dragon Granny and the Dragon Girl said, "Your Majesty, this saint is no ordinary being. The piece of divine iron that holds the bottom of the Milky Way in our sea treasury has been shining brightly with auspicious light these past few days. Could it be that it is destined to appear and encounter this saint?"
The Dragon King said, "That was a measuring rod used by Yu the Great to determine the depth of rivers and seas during his flood control efforts. It was a piece of divine iron, but what use could it possibly have?"
The old woman said, "Never mind whether he uses it or not, just give it to him. Let him modify it however he wants, just send it out of the palace."
Ma Feifei sat silently in his chair watching all of this, but he was overjoyed. With the original work as a reference, this mission was too easy, and he didn't Marshal.
"I wonder if the real Sun Wukong will still have the Golden Cudgel he comes here after I take it. I hope it doesn't affect the plot," Ma Feifei thought to himself. In the system settings, once a magical weapon is obtained, it cannot be obtained by a second person. The rewards are unique, but pay attention to the word "reward".
The so-called rewards are the system's commendation given to readers after they complete specific plot tasks within the book. In this case, the divine weapons obtained will not affect the plot development within the book itself. For example, in the first "Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain," Liu Ying obtained the Purple Ying Sword after completing a plot task. That Purple Ying Sword was a reward from the system for her completion of the plot task. Even if Liu Ying took the Purple Ying Sword, Li Yingqiong in "Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain" would still obtain the Purple Ying Sword, and it would not have any impact on the plot.
For example, Ma Feifei also obtained the Lotus Lantern in "The Lotus Lantern". This was obtained through redeeming system points and is also considered a system reward. It will not affect the plot of "The Lotus Lantern".
But things are different now. This time, Ma Feifei entered "Journey to the West" and took the Great Sage Set only to fulfill the request of the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. Although obtaining the Great Sage Set was also to complete the task of guarding the Divine Beast, there is actually a big difference in essence. The system released the idea of taming the divine Divine Beast, not Ma Feifei to take the Great Sage Set. There are many ways to tame the Divine Beast, while the Great Sage Set was just the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's own suggestion, not the system's provision.
Therefore, Ma Feifei's trip to the Dragon Palace to retrieve the Great Sage Set was his own idea, and the Great Sage Set is not part of the system's reward. As a result, it remains a mystery whether the system will issue another Great Sage Set to complete the storyline after Ma Feifei takes Great Sage Set.
If the system doesn't complete the system, this copy of "Journey to the West" will probably be doomed.
If Sun Wukong can't find a suitable weapon at the Dragon Palace, how will the story unfold? Will the Dragon King still go to the Heavenly Court to complain? Will Sun Wukong fall out with the Heavenly Court? Nobody knows, and the plot will be completely thrown into chaos.
But thinking about that now is useless. In order to complete the mission, Ma Feifei definitely has to get the Great Sage Set. As for whether getting it will affect the normal plot of the book, we can only wait for the system to give a hint.
After discussing with the Dragon King, the Dragon Queen, and the Dragon Girl, the Dragon King spoke with Ma Feifei to the plot before leading him to the middle of the Sea Treasury. There, Ma Feifei saw the appearance of the Sea Calming Divine Needle.
It is thick and over two zhang long, with two Golden Fillet at both ends and black iron in the middle. There is a line of words on it: Ruyi Golden Cudgel), weighing 13,500 jin.
"Is this the divine artifact?" The cultivators outside the projection saw the true form of the artifact and discovered that it was actually a stick, so they couldn't help but start discussing it again.
"This stick is a bit light, only 13,500 jin. My seventh-tier spiritual weapon Nine Heavens Star Hammer, weighs 10,000 jin."
"My sixth-tier spiritual weapon, the Primordial Chaos Axe, also weighs seven thousand jin."
"You guys are really crazy. How can the grade of a spirit weapon be determined by its weight? Miss Liu Ying's eighth-grade spirit weapon, the Purple Ying Sword, weighs less than a pound. What do you mean by that?"
"My eighth-tier Dragon Scale Purple Gold Saber weighs no more than five pounds. Is it really inferior to your seven-thousand-pound Primordial Chaos Axe?"
Unlike the cultivators below, who were mostly discussing the weight of the divine artifact, the important figures in mid-air kept their eyes on the projection, all with surprised expressions. They saw that the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in Ma Feifei's hand was slowly Minimize under Ma Feifei's command, eventually becoming a needle lying in his palm.
This amazing artifact can change size!
Throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent, looking at all the divine artifacts that have appeared in the past 30,000 years, there has never been a single artifact that could change its own size. Never.
Even divine artifacts are impossible, let alone the spiritual artifacts that fall below them.
However, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel) projected on the screen actually shrank to the size of a needle, and then, in front of everyone, the shop owner stuffed it into his ear.
"It's unbelievable." A powerful figure at the Spirit Saint realm couldn't help but exclaim upon witnessing this scene.
"This artifact must be of a very high grade, right?" another Spirit Saint figure said.
"Based on the classification of divine artifacts by that man in black, it should be classified as either high-grade or top-grade," another Spirit Saint exclaimed.
"Regardless of its rank, it at least proves one thing."
Upon hearing this, the important figures all fell silent.
Yes! For them, the exact grade of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel) is unimportant. What matters is that even a superfluous divine artifact in the book's world possesses such miraculous effects—just how wondrous must this world be...?
Thinking of this, everyone looked down at the red book Levitate in mid-air, its pages constantly turning.
Legendary-grade quality, Journey to the West!
