Sun Wukong: I'll Lay Low for Five Hundred Years Before Coming Out!
Jiang Li also said that he was in extreme danger and that becoming an immortal was a bad thing.
This means that the person targeting Sun Wukong is extremely terrifying, perhaps even an immortal.
Sun Wukong's eyes widened as well.
Although he didn't think as much as others, he knew that he had been staying in Flower-Fruit Mountain and had never gone out.
The only one who could make Jiang Li say it was dangerous was probably a celestial being from heaven.
Wang Chao @The Devourer Lord): "Brother Jiang Li, you must help my Monkey King!"
Yan Shisan: "Brother Monkey has clearly been targeted by an immortal, and not just any ordinary immortal!"
Chen Beixuan: "He must be an immortal. Monkey King was born from the Sky-Mending Stone that Nuwa used to mend the sky. Ordinary people don't know his origins, but the top immortals in their world should know."
Chen Beixuan: "I was wondering before why no one would come to save Monkey King, given his status. It turns out he's been targeted all along. I just don't know what these immortals want to do to Monkey King."
The Wudang Centenarian, "Trembling with fear, a top-tier immortal, his background is probably not much different from Sun Wukong's."
Sun Wukong: "Have some immortals set their sights on me?"
The Devourer Lord: "It's not just one immortal, it's all the gods and Buddhas of your world, including the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha, and even those more powerful than them, all have their eyes on you."
After these words were spoken, the chat group fell silent for a moment.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine.
They didn't know about the other gods and immortals, but the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha were renowned deities, even in different worlds.
One is in charge of all living beings in heaven and earth, the other is the master of Buddhism.
These terrifying immortals and gods all set their sights on Sun Wukong.
Even Sun Wukong, who had only ever lived on Flower-Fruit Mountain, knew the identities of these two immortals.
Even the most unruly man felt a chill run down his spine!
Sun Wukong: "Why are they targeting me?"
He simply couldn't think of anything he possessed that would warrant so much scheming from the gods and immortals.
The Devourer Lord: "You are a celestial monkey born from the Sky-Mending Stone Nuwa to mend the sky, a primordial being with limitless potential."
From the moment you were born, you were targeted by countless gods and Buddhas!
The Devourer Lord: "The reason I haven't attacked you yet is because you haven't grown strong enough."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 137 Sun Wukong: I'll lie low for five hundred years before I emerge from the mountain!
Sun Wukong: "What do they want me to do?"
Chen Beixuan: "Since you've set your sights on Brother Monkey, why not take him as your disciple and pass on your immortal techniques!"
Wang Chao: "Haha... These gods and Buddhas are too despicable. Don't worry, Brother Monkey, if they dare to reach out to you, even if I can't do it myself, I'll still lend you a hand."
Yan Shisan: "I also want to help, but with my strength, I don't even qualify to be cannon fodder, let alone go to the Immortal Realm to fight those immortals and Buddhas."
Devourer Lord: "Who said they weren't passing on the immortal techniques to Sun Wukong? It's just that Sun Wukong accidentally entered the chat group."
Devourer Lord @Sun Wukong: "Did you suddenly realize that your monkey descendants have run out of lifespan and are dying, so you're planning to leave Flower-Fruit Mountain to search for the secret to immortality?"
Sun Wukong: "Yes, if I hadn't joined the chat group, I would have left Flower-Fruit Mountain soon. So, their scheme has already begun."
The Devourer Lord: "Taking the lives of your monkey descendants will make you realize the importance of immortality. Leaving Flower-Fruit Mountain to learn immortal techniques is the first step."
The Devourer Lord: "The second step is to arrange for a master to teach you immortal techniques so that you can grow stronger."
The Devourer Lord: "The third step is to arrange for you to go to the Heavenly Court, give you a highly humiliating position, and make you turn against the Heavenly Court in anger!"
Devourer Lord: "The fourth step is for the Tathagata Buddha of the Western Heaven Paradise to suppress you!"
The Devourer Lord: "The fifth step is to have a disciple who is the reincarnation of the Tathagata Buddha become your master, and have you take him on a pilgrimage to the West. Become a Buddhist disciple, their henchman, and kill off all the immortals and demons who are at odds with them, thus completing the eastward spread of Buddhism."
The Devourer Lord: "In this process, they will tame you, strip you of your nature, and turn you into an obedient henchman!"
Chen Beixuan: "I thought they didn't care about Brother Monkey, but it turns out everything was planned out!"
The Wudang Centenarian, "What a brilliant plan! You've gained a henchman and eliminated the enemy at the same time!"
Wang Chao: "Despicable! They want my Monkey King to become a monk? These bald monks are delusional!"
Inviting Moon: "The Buddhist sect is rotten to the core; even the Buddha is plotting against them."
Sun Wukong: "They want me to be their henchman? They're dreaming! I, Old Sun, swear I'll never comply!"
Sun Wukong was furious.
Taming him—what would that make Sun Wukong? An animal or a beast?
The Devourer Lord: "You swear to resist to the death? In this world, the most terrifying thing is not death; there are things more terrifying than death!"
The Devourer Lord: "I'll suppress you for five hundred years, subjecting you to lightning and fire every day, wind and rain, without a soul in sight. This kind of loneliness could drive you mad. Will you submit?"
The Devourer Lord: "Don't even mention asking you to become my disciple, you'd obediently agree to call me 'father' too."
The Devourer Lord: "I'll put another Tight-Fillet Spell around your neck. If you make a mistake, I'll torture you to the point of unbearable pain, making you wish you were dead. Will you obey?"
The Devourer Lord: "I'll use all sorts of treasures to make you immortal, so you can't even die if you want to. Are you scared?"
Sun Wukong felt a chill run down his spine.
From Jiang Li's description, he knew just how terrifying these things were.
After one set of these techniques, even the most unruly person will soften up.
Chen Beixuan: "Holy crap, how vicious!"
Yan Shisan: "It gave me goosebumps!"
Inviting Moon: "Killing him with one blow would be better than suffering like this!"
Wang Chao: "Utterly shameless! First, they made my Monkey King immortal, so they can torture him to death no matter what. What a vicious plan!"
Shi Potian: "Do these immortals and Buddhas have any humanity left? Killing someone is just a matter of a beheading, but this kind of torture is far too insidious."
The Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method: "Without torment, how can we have an obedient henchman? We call it: Tribulation."
Wang Chao: "To hell with it! My Monkey King is living a perfectly good life on Flower-Fruit Mountain, being the king of his own mountain, but these immortals and gods insist on luring him out of the mountain!"
@Lord of Devourer Lord, Wudang Centenarian: "Brother Jiang Li, with Sun Wukong's background, being a deity of the Eastern Heavenly Court, how could they be willing to give him to the Western Buddhist sect, even with the Jade Emperor having to help put on an act?"
This question about the Wudang Centenarian came up.
The lively chat group fell silent for a moment.
Everyone then remembered that it was initially Heavenly Court and Sun Wukong who caused trouble, but it was not Heaven that gained Sun Wukong as a henchman, but Buddhism.
The gods in Heavenly Court weren't fools; they could see Sun Wukong's value.
Moreover, even if they looked down on Sun Wukong, given the Jade Emperor's status, he had no need to help them put on an act.
The Devourer Lord: "If we really delve into the matter of Sun Wukong, it becomes complicated, involving the Great Tribulation and the Heavenly Dao!"
The Devourer Lord: "Simply put, it's Tathagata Buddha even more terrifying and powerful than the Jade Emperor or the Buddha who has already decided Sun Wukong's fate!"
The Devourer Lord: "Even the Jade Emperor can't stop Sun Wukong from becoming a henchman for Buddhism. No matter how reluctant he is, he has to obediently cooperate in the charade and hand Sun Wukong over to Buddhism as a henchman!"
Devourer Lord: "Sun Wukong is merely a pawn in the Great Calamity!"
The Devourer Lord: "The Buddhist Heavenly Court schemed against him with the ultimate goal of forcing Daoism to withdraw from the stage and allowing Buddhism to flourish!"
Everyone fell silent, a chill running down their spines.
The Tathagata Buddha and the Jade Emperor were merely errand boys; the real big shots were actually making the decisions behind the scenes.
Moreover, the Daoist sect actually willingly withdrew and even put on a show together, which shows how terrifying the immortals and gods who decided this matter were.
Let's not talk about Sun Wukong himself.
Even the group members felt a sense of despair and suffocation upon hearing this.
Anyone who can command the Jade Emperor to put on a show is terrifying enough to be easily fooled.
Chen Beixuan: "Trembling with fear, even if Brother Monkey is a naturally born being, I still think suicide would be more swift!"
Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: "It's getting scarier and scarier! Monkey King, you have to hold on! Don't listen to Chen Beixuan!"
Yan Shisan: "I used to envy how well Jiang Li took care of Monkey King, but now I'm not envious at all. Our martial arts world is much safer; there aren't so many scheming old foxes plotting behind the scenes."
Yan Shisan: "Where is the Nuwa? My Monkey King is one of her people, isn't she going to lend him a hand?"
Zombie Taoist @Yan Shisan: "Do you think it's possible that the people behind the scenes who are determined to save Monkey King's fate are the goddess Nuwa you mentioned?"
Yan Shisan: "..."
"Brother Monkey, say something! Don't be so Heaven and Earth Infinite Borrowing Method. You still have Boss Jiang Li to help you."
Sun Wukong: "I'm fine. Anyone who tries to scheme against me will pay a terrible price, even if it means my death!"
On Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong bared his teeth, emanating a tyrannical aura.
He was inherently unruly; how could he possibly commit suicide out of despair?
I'd rather die than let those gods and Buddhas get away with this!
Wang Chao (Devourer Lord): "Brother Jiang Li, please help my Monkey King! Only you can help him!"
Shi Potian: "I implore you, esteemed Jiang Li, to lend a hand and help my Monkey King fight against the countless gods and Buddhas."
Wang Chao: "Stop talking! Boss Jiang Li has already been helping Brother Monkey, otherwise why would he be saying so much!"
Inviting Moon, "If he can make a move, then Jiang Li will naturally do so. Why would you need to beg him? You don't understand Jiang Li at all."
The Devourer Lord: "You overestimate me. Even the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha are no match for me."
The Devourer Lord, "Those beings are primordial gods and demons who existed since the beginning of Heaven Opening. How could I, who have only been cultivating for a short time, dare to contend with them?"
Jiang Li's cultivation time was too short.
Even with his Inverse Heaven Comprehension, it's impossible for him to compete with a sage right now.
Those beings, who among them hasn't lived for countless billions of years?
Wang Chao: "So, does that mean I, Brother Monkey, am destined to become a monk and a henchman of Buddhism?"
