How have you changed?
In Chang'an, the King Tang, Son Goku stared in astonishment at the girl before him, whose appearance remained unchanged but whose temperament was completely different.
The four brothers came to the King Tang to meet with Tang Sanzang, the reincarnation of Jinchanzi, and then go to retrieve the Tang Monk scriptures from the West.
Last night, this fierce and aloof girl came up to him and, without saying a word, drew her sword and fought him.
Fortunately, he was strong enough to finally subdue the girl and bind her tightly with the Immortal Binding Rope.
I originally wanted to ask this girl where she came from and what her intentions were in attacking me this morning, but who would have thought that her demeanor was completely different when she came over this morning.
This is a fundamental change; although the body remains the same, the true spirit within has been replaced.
This was the first time Son Goku had encountered such a bizarre situation. Could it be that this girl had been possessed?
That doesn't make sense either. Look at how perfectly the true spirit and primordial soul are integrated with the physical body; it doesn't look like possession at all.
"Are you Son Goku?"
The girl looked Son Goku over and asked him somewhat uncertainly.
"So you really do know my name, Old Sun!"
With his monkey eyes narrowed, Son Goku knew that the girl's attack last night was no misunderstanding; it was clearly aimed at him.
So what exactly are their intentions?
"My love, I've finally found you!"
Unexpectedly, when the girl saw Son Goku admit it, she excitedly tried to pounce on him, but unfortunately, she was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope and could only twist her delicate body in vain.
"Husband, you've misunderstood. The one who attacked you last night was my sister Qingxia. I am Purple Clouds. It was our master who sent us to find you and also betrothed us sisters to you."
Purple Clouds was incredibly clever. From Son Goku's expression and the Immortal-Binding Immortal Binding Rope, she guessed what had happened. She understood that her older sister must have found Son Goku first last night, then fought with him, and was eventually captured.
She accepted the marriage Bodhi Tathagata, but her elder sister, Qingxia, disagreed and said she would kill Son Goku to become a widow.
She and her sister Qingxia were born as one; during the day, she controlled her body, while at night, her sister Qingxia took control.
She had originally planned to find Son Goku first while she was in control of her body and explain things clearly so that her fiancé would be on guard, but she was still a step too late.
"Your master is...?"
Seeing that Purple Clouds didn't seem to be lying, Son Goku realized that there might really be a misunderstanding, but he didn't let his guard down.
"My master's Dharma name Bodhi. He said you'll understand when you see this!"
With a thought, Purple Clouds took out a ruler. This was the last gift her master, Bodhi Tathagata his death, and it was also a token for her to meet Son Goku.
"Master!"
The moment Son Goku saw that ruler, tears welled up in his eyes, because it belonged to his master, Patriarch Bodhi.
Back then, because of his mischievousness and greed, he was struck three times by this ruler by his master, and only then did he have the opportunity to be taught the true teachings at night.
Purple Clouds was able to possess this ruler, so it must have been sent by her master; clearly, this was her junior sister.
Although he learned from his three elder brothers that his master Patriarch Bodhi, had a scheme in accepting him as a disciple, he always remembered this kindness in teaching him and sincerely recognized his master.
How is Master now?
He hurriedly stepped forward, untying the Immortal Binding Rope from Purple Clouds's body, and asked, "It's been fifty thousand years since I last saw that master. I wonder how he is now."
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because as soon as it came up, Purple Clouds's eyes turned red and tears welled up.
"My master passed away peacefully at Spirit Mountain a month ago!"
With tears in her eyes, Purple Clouds recounted the situation of her master Bodhi Tathagata.
"That's impossible! Our master was at the Primordial Unity Realm, with an infinite lifespan. How could he possibly have perished?"
Son Goku froze, completely disbelieving Purple Clouds's words, and even his monkey face contorted into a ferocious expression.
"To help my sister and me transform into human form as soon as possible, Master sacrificed himself to strengthen our essence, and even refined the Eight Treasures Merit Pool into our physical bodies..."
Holding back her tears, Purple Clouds recounted the events in detail.
"So that's how the magical treasure can take human form!"
After secretly calculating and discovering that Purple Clouds was telling the truth, Son Goku also shed tears.
The transformation of Innate Spiritual Treasure form is extremely difficult, requiring not only a long period of time to accumulate foundation, but also a heaven-defying Creation of luck.
Since the beginning of time, very few things have been formed from Innate Spiritual Treasure. Clearly, his master, Patriarch Bodhi, was doing something against the will of Heaven, and he would have to pay a heavy price.
"You'll be working for me from now on!"
With a sigh, Son Goku decided to take in this junior sister.
Although the other party is Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure human form and has received the great Creation of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, they still have to start cultivating from scratch after taking human form.
Purple Clouds's cultivation level is currently very weak; it's truly a miracle that she was able to travel from Spirit Mountain to Chang'an City.
"Thank you for taking me in, my husband!"
A hint of joy finally appeared on Purple Clouds amidst her sadness. She was truly afraid that her fiancé would drive her away, leaving her completely alone in the world.
Purple Clouds's call of "husband" finally made Son Goku realize that this girl was not only his junior sister, but also his master's betrothed.
I was just worrying about how to find a Daoist partner, and now this Daoist partner is right in front of me!
With this in mind, Son Goku found Purple Clouds increasingly pleasing to the eye and grew to love her more and more.
It was also thanks to the influence of his three older brothers over the past 50,000 years that his aesthetic sense had changed from that of a female monkey to that of a normal Dao body, that is, the form of the Human Clan, that he was able to quickly accept Purple Clouds.
"Second brother, please stop hitting him! Please stop!"
Just then, a clear, anxious voice came from the sky.
"Oh no, that three-eyed guy is here again!"
Son Goku cried out in alarm and rushed out of the inn, hovering high in the sky.
The Third Holy Mother Yang Chan was frozen in mid-air, unable to move, while Yang Jian and Yuan Hong on the opposite side started fighting again. However, unlike the last time in the Heavenly Court, this time it was Yang Jian who was unilaterally beating Yuan Hong.
Because Yang Jian did not use his natal divine weapon, the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber, this time, but instead used a rattan whip, which was surrounded by the power of merit. It was obviously a treasure of merit, a treasure of merit that was much more powerful than his Ruyi Adamantine Staff.
Moreover, this merit-based treasure seemed to be quite effective against his elder brother. When faced with the whip, Yuan Hong grimaced in pain, and if his will hadn't been strong enough, he probably would have cried out in agony.
In reality, Yuan Hong was being thoroughly beaten, was really miserable. Although the Human Creation Whip could not cause him any real harm, the pain from its strikes was just too much, making it difficult for him to even hold his heavy sword steady, let alone retaliate.
"You're so arrogant, aren't you? Try slapping my sister again!"
As Yang Jian forcefully lashed out with his Human Creation Whip, he continued to sneer and provoke Yuan Hong.
Last time, seeing that he couldn't do anything to this bastard on his own, he decisively went to Wa Huang Heaven for help. Then, Empress Nuwa bestowed upon him the Human Creation Whip, a sacred artifact of the Human Clan, and even added a layer of Power of the Heavenly Dao to it, specifically to deal with this arrogant and domineering monkey.
Anyway, the order given by the Empress Nuwa was: beat them until they die, and beat them to death!
He wanted to see how long this monkey could hold out!
Yuan Hong was indeed very resilient, but faced with the methods set up by a Heavenly Dao Realm Sage, he had to admit defeat after only an Tokiomi.
There was no other way; Nuwa had set a double pain limit on the Human Creation Whip. This wasn't just a one-time double pain; each lash would cause twice the pain of the previous one.
Yang Jian was already quite surprised that Yuan Hong could hold out for an Tokiomi, and he began to have a Sisi sense of approval for this scoundrel of a brother-in-law.
"Hmph! I'll be watching you from heaven. If you dare bully my sister again, I'll hang you on the South Heaven Gate and whip you for a whole day!"
Seeing that Yuan Hong finally gave in and admitted defeat, Yang Jian also withdrew the Human Creation Whip, gave a fierce threat, and then turned and returned to the Heavenly Court.
The rules in Heavenly Court are very strict; one is not allowed to leave one's post without proper business, and as the God of Justice, he should set an example.
I finally managed to get half a day off this time, so I need to get back as soon as possible.
However, the Human Creation Whip was bestowed upon him by the Empress Nuwa, and from then on, it became his own treasure.
In any case, he was half Human Clan and a direct disciple of the Jiuli Holy King, so he was qualified to possess this treasure.
With this Human Creation Whip in hand, he didn't believe that monkey would dare to bully his cute and beautiful sister.
"Brother Hong, are you alright?"
With the restrictions on her body fading, Yang Chan, tears welling in her eyes, quickly rushed to Yuan Hong's side and helped him up.
Although Yuan Hong was uninjured, his trembling body clearly indicated that the Human Creation Whip had caused him great harm; otherwise, given Yuan Hong's willpower, this situation would never have occurred.
But that wasn't all. Before Yuan Hong could catch his breath, a finger pierced through the Void and struck him hard on the forehead.
His body instantly transformed into Daoliu and flew backward, crashing hard into the city of Chang'an.
If Chang'an hadn't been the capital of the King Tang, protected by a powerful defensive array, it would probably have been completely destroyed.
Even so, the immense force emanating from Yuan Hong caused the city's protective array to shake violently, nearly shattering it, demonstrating the terrifying power of that mysterious finger.
Yuan Hong was in an even worse state; most of his head had collapsed, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices—a truly pitiful sight.
I knew it would turn out like this!
The Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey in Chang'an City below shook its head speechlessly; it had expected this all along.
You should know that Yang Chan was a junior disciple of the Empress Nuwa. Yuan Hong treated her disciple like that, no wonder he's going to hold you accountable.
Most importantly, his master, the Jiuli Holy King, has been pursuing the Saint Nuwa. How could he allow you to bully his little disciple like this? He'd definitely teach you a lesson.
" Yuan Hong, you're asking for death!"
That wasn't the end of it. A roar came from the sky, followed by a bizarre figure riding on Wind Fire Wheels, rushing over at top speed. As soon as he appeared, he delivered a powerful spear thrust to Yuan Hong, sending him flying into the sky.
Then, before he could recover, Yuan Hong was bounced around like a ball.
The one who took action was none other than Nezha from Wa Huang Heaven.
After emerging from seclusion, he learned that his junior sister Yang Chan had been bullied, so he rushed over immediately.
You should know that he is Yang Chan's family member, so he naturally stood up for Yang Chan at this time.
Never mind anything else, let's beat that bastard half to death first.
And so, Yuan Hong's miserable life continued, with no one knowing when it would end.
"This idiot!"
The Six-Eared Macaque, who was also staying in Chang'an City below, glanced at the battle situation in the sky and shook his head speechlessly.
He had warned Yuan Hong long ago, but the guy didn't listen and even said that Yang Chan wasn't his type and that he deserved his current predicament.
