The Sea-Calming Divine Needle Was Given to the Monkey, Never to Return

Sun Wukong was still somewhat dissatisfied with the size of the Ruyi Jingu Bang at this point, so he asked it to shrink further.

However, the Ruyi Jingu Bang) truly obeyed Sun Wukong's commands and began to slowly shrink from its length of over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

He first shrunk his body to about ten zhang in length, but Sun Wukong was not satisfied and told him to continue shrinking.

Finally, the Ruyi Jingu Bang shrank to about five zhang in length, but Sun Wukong was still not satisfied and said, "Smaller, smaller!"

Then the Ruyi Jingu Bang) began to shrink slowly. When it shrank to about ten feet long, Sun Wukong said, "That's enough, that's enough. This is the right length. From now on, whenever I use you in this form, you'll be this long."

"Come."

After Sun Wukong said this, the Ruyi Jingu Bang) flew towards him and was caught in Sun Wukong hand.

"What a fine weapon! You are truly a wonderful weapon, and you are very much to my liking!"

After twirling it around a few times, Sun Wukong spoke repeatedly to the Ruyi Jingu Bang).

"Shrink a little smaller, down to the size of an embroidery needle, so I can carry you with me."

After Sun Wukong said those words to the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the Ruyi Jingu Bang staff), it turned into a needle, just as he had said, and then Sun Wukong put it into his ear.

"Dragon King of the East Sea, I truly never expected you to be such a kind person, to actually give me such a precious treasure as a weapon. I am so grateful to you. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to call me, and I will definitely come to your aid."

After doing all this, Sun Wukong walked over to the Dragon King of the East Sea and thanked him repeatedly.

At this moment, the faces of Gui Chengxian and the Dragon King of the East Sea, who had originally wanted to see Sun Wukong fail to lift the treasure and make a fool of himself, had become extremely ugly, and their expressions showed utter astonishment.

"It's okay, take it if you like, hurry up and go."

After hearing Sun Wukong's thanks, the Dragon King of the East Sea took a long time to react. He repeatedly urged Sun Wukong to take the treasure and leave, and not to come looking for him again.

"Since you, Dragon King of the East Sea, are willing to give me such a precious weapon, how about you also give me a suit of armor? If you give me a suit of armor, I will leave immediately."

"By the way, don't try to fool me with that junk. I don't need anything too fancy, just give me whatever you have."

After obtaining the weapon from the Dragon King of the East Sea, Sun Wukong was still somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to get a new set of armor. So he begged the Dragon King of the East Sea relentlessly for it, and the armor he was given couldn't be too bad.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, the Dragon King of the East Sea felt a chill run down his spine. If he refused, Sun Wukong would probably use this newly acquired treasure to destroy his Crystal Palace.

He might even lose his life. Although he was an official registered in the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court would avenge him after he was killed by Sun Wukong, it would be difficult for him to be resurrected. He could only reincarnate through the Six Paths of Reincarnation of reincarnation in the Underworld.

If he gives it to them, he'll lose face big time and probably never be able to hold his head up in front of his three brothers again.

The Dragon King of the East Sea pondered for a while and finally agreed to Sun Wukong's impolite request. After all, losing face was a small matter for him, but losing his life would be a much bigger problem.

After all, he was used to this life of luxury and extravagance. If he went on a business trip according to the rules of equality for all beings in the Underworld, who knows what he would become?

For the sake of his current stable and prosperous life, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bleed money to agree to Sun Wukong's demands.

After all, he happened to have a few treasures he had won from betting with his three brothers some time ago, which, combined with his own few items, would be enough to make a set of armor for Sun Wukong.

"This is the Phoenix-Winged Purple Gold Crown, which I won from Ao Qin, the Dragon Ao Qin of the Dragon King of the South Sea; this is the Golden Chainmail Armor, which I won from Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea; this is the Lotus-Fiber Cloud-Stepping Boots, which I won from Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea; and this is my treasured Gold-Inlaid Mind-Calming Cap. Now they are all yours. Take them quickly and don't come looking for me again. I really have no more treasures."

The Dragon King of the East Sea suppressed the bitterness in his heart. After Sun Wukong introduced the origins of these treasures and gave them all to Sun Wukong, he hurriedly urged him to leave.

Without the Dragon King of the East Sea introducing any of the items, Sun Wukong took them from him and put them on. After the Dragon King of the East Sea finished introducing the treasures, Sun Wukong put on the entire outfit and looked around with great joy.

"I, Sun Wukong, am very Dragon King of the East Sea for lending me so Duobao today. If you ever need anything in the future, please just say the word, and I will definitely come to your aid."

After obtaining so Duobao, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and made a promise to the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"I don't ask anything of you, I just want you to leave now."

The Dragon King of the East Sea said to him with a mournful face.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

Sun Wukong readily agreed, then grabbed the Little Red Sparrow, used it to create his Somersault Cloud, and left the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Chieftain, Chieftain, Stone Monkey is back!"

When Sun Wukong returned to the Water Curtain Cave, a little monkey hurriedly ran to report the matter to the group leader. Sun Wukong looked at the little monkey's flustered departure with some doubt.

After a short while, the little monkey ran away in a panic again and came back to tell Chief Sun Wukong to come over.

"Chieftain, do you know what I've done?"

Upon reaching the clan leader, Sun Wukong immediately asked the question.

"Stone Monkey, I can clearly sense that my time is running out. After I die, you will become the king of the entire tribe. I have been their chieftain my whole life, but I have accomplished nothing."

"A few years ago, I caused many of my compatriots to be captured or eaten by other monsters. If you hadn't returned after completing your studies and rescued them all, I would have felt guilty to death."

Upon seeing Sun Wukong arrive, the clan chief got straight to the point and explained why he had summoned him.

"Chieftain, you look perfectly healthy, why do you say you're about to die?"

In fact, Sun Wukong had already seen that the clan leader's life force was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished. However, he was very reluctant to part with the clan leader because, for him, the only people who had been kind to him since childhood, besides A Shui, were the clan leader in front of him.

But A Shui died of old age more than ten years ago, and now only the clan leader is left. Of course, he is very reluctant to part with the clan leader.

"Stone Monkey, no one knows my body better than I do."
