Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 268 - 252: The True Solution of Martial Arts, The Battle Between Minghe and Luo Hou

Chapter 268: Chapter 252: The True Solution of Martial Arts, The Battle Between Minghe and Luo Hou

[You have received a new suggestion: have the Six-Eared Macaque stationed at Fruit Mountain, completing the suggestion can reward you with a Level 7 treasure chest.]

This suggestion seemed to confirm the reply from netizens, the Six-Eared really didn’t die.

Sun Wukong, however, was not surprised.

Because long ago, netizens had spoken of the Six-Eared Macaque’s future as the fake Monkey King.

In the incident with the true and fake Monkey King on the journey to the west, the Six-Eared was killed by him.

Later, Moluo in his complete form as Buddha Wutian saved the Six-Eared’s soul and made him a Black Lotus Envoy.

From the original life perspective, it’s clear that his duplicity was not so easily eradicated.

Moreover, the last time he subdued demons in the North Sea, he poisoned the Six-Eared Macaque with a drop of Luo Tian soul essence, but afterwards, netizens said "Evil is hard to extinguish, and malice hard to dispel," suggesting that human malevolence is as hard to eliminate as demons.

The implication was that as long as he harbored evil thoughts again, the duplicitous Six-Eared would resurrect.

So, had he harbored any evil thoughts over these years?

Sun Wukong was very clear that he was not the kind of person who is wholly good; evil thoughts had never disappeared from him.

But he was also very confident that his goodness outweighed his evil, so he was not worried at all about the Six-Eared coming back to life.

"Hmm, if it’s really possible to subdue the duplicity and make him stationed at Fruit Mountain, it indeed is a good suggestion," Sun Wukong scratched his face in contemplation.

Afterward, he read many of the replies below again and consulted netizens for some knowledge about martial arts, forming a rough idea of how to create a new martial arts discipline.

Time passed, and one day, above Fruit Mountain, a vast expanse of celebratory clouds of merit suddenly appeared in the void, shining like a starry nebula, the emanating pressure astonishing all parties in the Three Realms, their gazes turning towards Fruit Mountain.

They saw Sun Wukong sitting cross-legged on a rock by the sea, much as he had done before, drawing the vast amount of celebratory clouds of merit into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, further enhancing the might of this divine weapon.

So much power of merit could almost create another saint of merit.

The Quasi-Saint powerhouses from all sides had witnessed the spectacle last time and were exclaiming in discontent and resentment, lamenting the waste of heavenly resources!

Then they were all the more puzzled, wondering what this monkey had done to once again draw down the celebratory clouds of merit from the Heavenly Dao.

...

In the Heavenly Court’s Tongming Hall, His Majesty the Jade Emperor put down the book in his hands and cast his gaze downwards, glancing at Fruit Mountain before lifting his eyes to the heavens.

His eyes flickered as if stars were moving within them, he frowned in thought, "Has the fate dictated by the Heavenly Dao changed, is it related to this?"

Upon hearing this, Taibai Jinxing immediately clutched his beard tighter, his sense of vigilance heightened.

He hadn’t seen His Majesty the Jade Emperor show such concern the last time Sun Wukong established the Hall of Valiant Spirits, which caused a great stir. Why, then, did he frown this time?

Could it be that something unpredictable was about to happen?

Meanwhile, in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord held a newly refined top-grade spirit guiding instrument of Spiritual Treasure level in his hand, feeling somewhat disappointed. He hadn’t managed to refine a supreme treasure using the method of the spirit guiding instrument.

When he saw that Sun Wukong had once again received the merit of the Heavenly Dao, the Elderly Lord was slightly astonished, "Can creating a transport formation also earn the merit of the Heavenly Dao?"

But then he realized that wasn’t it because Sun Wukong had repeatedly discussed the spatial transfer-type formations with him, attempting to create some sort of transport formation.

In other words, he had contributed to the creation of the transport formation, so if there was any merit to be had, he certainly would have a share.

However, the merit from the Heavenly Dao that was now descending was exclusively for Sun Wukong, clearly not due to the transport formation.

"What has that monkey done without making a sound?" the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord couldn’t help but remark, as Sun Wukong was no longer the monkey who had consulted him about artifact refining and formation techniques.

If one did not consider the status of a Heavenly Dao saint, Sun Wukong’s realm in laws had already surpassed that of these saints of the Heavenly Dao.

After all, their saintly positions were brought about by the power of merit, and before becoming saints, their realms in laws had not reached the completion of Quasi-Saint.

Therefore, after Sun Wukong’s creation of the spirit guiding instrument refining method gave him inspiration, he began a lengthy period of secluded artifact refining, seeking a breakthrough in the laws.

Though this was difficult.

...

In the back hall of the Great Thunderclap Monastery of the Sacred Mountain, Golden Cicada was personally meeting with Buddha Tathagata, his palms pressed together as he said, "Buddha Ancestor, Sun Wukong asked this disciple to pass on a message, advising to guard against the Demon Cult’s desperate moves."

Buddha Tathagata nodded gently, "I am aware, but there’s no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days."

Golden Cicada heard this and immediately became enthused, "I am willing to follow the Buddha Ancestor to punish the thieves!"

Buddha Tathagata smiled and said, "You are now the eminent monk of the Great Han’s prosperity, bearing the heavy responsibility of propagating Buddhist law. The matter of punishing thieves can be taken care of with the company of Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva."

Golden Cicada sighed and prepared to take his leave.

But just then, the commotion from the Heavenly Dao’s descent of celebratory clouds of merit to Fruit Mountain reached the Sacred Mountain, shocking all the monks.

Buddha Tathagata fell silent for a long while before asking, "What has Sun Wukong been up to in these recent years?"

Golden Cicada shook his head, "I do not know. I have only heard that he once asked the King of Humanity for many geniuses from both the Human Race and the Demon Clan." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

A guess instantly formed in Buddha Tathagata’s mind.

Golden Cicada then said, "Could he be creating some kind of cultivation technique?"

This was also what Buddha Tathagata was thinking. He smiled and said, "Whether it is or isn’t, we’ll know before long."

Sun Wukong was clearly creating a cultivation technique for the Great Han, so it surely wouldn’t take long for it to spread there.

Still, even with this guess, Buddha Tathagata could not see clearly what kind of cultivation technique could attract the merit of the Heavenly Dao?

Perhaps only back when the Ancestor Dao transmitted the Immortality Dao in the Vast Wilderness, was there such a Heavenly Dao merit, right?

Therefore, it wasn’t just a simple cultivation technique!

At this thought, Buddha Tathagata was left with nothing but shock.

As for having Sun Wukong fetch scriptures, he long since lost interest in that.
