I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Chapter 180 The storm is coming

Perhaps it’s not just Lingshan that’s causing the headache.

There is also the mysterious Bodhi Patriarch.

The clever stone monkey was born with an understanding of the art of transformation.

The Honghuang's art of transformation is not simply a spell to turn into something.

Most of the transformation techniques also meant the method of longevity in the ancient times.

Just like the two cultivation methods of Golden Elixir and Refining the Spirit to Return to the Void, most of the transformation techniques are also cultivation methods aimed at longevity.

The 72 Disha transformations and the 36 Tiangang transformations are all within this category of transformations.

However, this type of spell has high requirements and is not comprehensive.

Practitioners who practice the Golden Elixir Way or the Path of Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void can acquire the transformation spell through learning during the practice. However, since the transformation spell itself is rather complicated, the practitioners' combat power is basically locked in the transformation spell. If they want to practice other spells, not only will they not have enough energy, it will also take a lot of time. Only those great masters who have practiced the transformation spell to the level of Golden Immortal will have the free time to practice miscellaneous spells.

Simply put, the clever stone monkey who is proficient in transformation is loved by heaven and earth and possesses the secret of immortality.

In this case, is it still necessary to look for Patriarch Bodhi and search for that illusory method of immortality?
Without his disciple Sun Wukong, Patriarch Bodhi’s mission might not be accomplished.

Patriarch Bodhi is most likely the incarnation of Taoist Cundi.

A saint cannot interfere in the affairs of the ancient world, but the saint's clones or the three corpses that have been beheaded can.

I guess now the Saint Zhunti has discovered the anomaly and is plotting something about the way of heaven!

Unfortunately, the way of heaven is so majestic that even a saint would find it extremely difficult to see the secrets beneath the fog during a catastrophe.

He now either has to rush to find Sun Wukong or order Lingshan to send Wukong to him.

Otherwise, how could he use this catastrophe to repay the merits he owed to Heaven?

The basis of all this planning is not Tang Sanzang, but the "demon monkey" Sun Wukong.

Without properly settling the demon monkey, Lingshan would have no chance of profiting from the catastrophe.

Sun Wukong said that he was a man who was destined to face calamity, but there are actually many ways to face calamity.

One is to be attacked repeatedly, and finally be treated like a dog and given a chance to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures to atone for one's sins.

One is that my fate is in my own hands and I take the initiative to enter disaster.

Since all the gods and immortals in the sky want to gain value from him, then as the person who should be robbed of the calamity, he can naturally also gain value from them in return.

If it was the original demon monkey, perhaps he would have really plotted against all the immortals and gods from beginning to end, but now the monkey has really become the Spirit Stone Monkey, and it might be difficult for the immortals and gods to plot against him again.

Bai Ze did not comment on Jiang Wang's words.

He looked at the direction where the stone monkey came from with a serious expression: "My friend, I'm afraid we are in trouble."

"Ok?"

"What does the birth of the Spiritual Stone Monkey have to do with us?"

Although Jiang Wang wanted to make some arrangements for the stone monkey, but... he did nothing.

He came to Huaguo Mountain just to see the Qilin and satisfy his need for a mount.

After satisfying his need for a mount, he also asked Qilin to guard the sacred stone and did not make any other arrangements.

"I saw a familiar aura on the Lingming Stone Monkey. Do you know where it came from?"

"..."

Jiang Wang had a bad feeling: "It can't be from me, right? But I didn't do anything."

"Little friend, you really didn't do anything?"

Bai Ze looked at Jiang Wang suspiciously.

With his innate magical powers, he can actually see the future of the stone monkey.

It was actually beyond his expectations that the stone monkey transformed from a demon into a smart stone monkey.

Can these things be transformed?

That's too rare.

At least since the beginning of the ancient times, he has seen several smart stone monkeys.

The birth of these clever stone monkeys is entirely improbable.

Some stone monkeys even jumped out of some very ordinary stones.

However, the stone monsters born from some magical stones are just stone monsters.

The main focus is randomness.

According to Bai Ze's understanding, among the four mischievous monkeys, only the Spirit Stone Monkey is the most special.

The formation of the other three types of monkeys will have specific signs or specific conditions.

Only the birth of the Spirit Stone Monkey had no signs at all.

Perhaps the ordinary moment in the previous second will explode in the next second, and the smart stone monkey will be born.

Can.
The creature born from the magical stone on the Flower-Fruit Mountain was really not the Smart Stone Monkey.

Bai Ze can accurately predict the future of "natural" things, that is, innate creatures.

The so-called innate refers to the kind of creatures that can be enlightened directly without the need for practice.

Of course, the more advanced innate refers to the group of creatures born at the creation of the world. However, with the passage of time, this group of creatures either disappeared in the primitive times or became powerful. The secrets of heaven had long been obscured, and Bai Ze was unable to see clearly.

When he came to Huaguo Mountain, he had laid eyes on the magic stone. After dozens of days, the magic stone would give birth to a stone monkey, that is, a stone monster. It was a congenital creature with very good physique and talent, and was ranked among the top three stone monsters Bai Ze had ever seen.

What's the situation now?
I just saw the fate of the stone monkey, but then God slapped me in the face?

What was born from the sacred stone was not a stone monster at all, but a clever stone monkey.

Even though the word "stone monkey" is included in the name of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Spiritual Stone Monkey and the stone monkey are two completely different beings.

The stone monkey is a monster.

If you are a demon, you must follow the rules of cultivation, step by step.

You need a teacher to guide you, but you also need to practice hard.

Otherwise, what’s the point of having a teacher to guide you?

Things like spiritual practice are entirely up to the individual.

If you don't work hard, you won't achieve much even if your teacher is a saint.

Bai Ze has seen too many talented monsters, who could rest easy because they thought their teachers were powerful. These monsters either died in great calamities, died in destiny calamities, or died naturally when their lifespans came to an end.

The great calamity eats monsters without blinking an eye.

Even top monsters like Di Jun and Tai Yi must die.

The laws of nature are calculated, and as long as you live in the ancient times, it is difficult to escape them unless you are not involved in any cause and effect.

The calamity of destiny is a catastrophe destined for a cultivator, and can be regarded as a test of the cultivator by heaven.

After all, any cultivator gains longevity by gathering the blessings of heaven and earth. Although all cultivators claim to follow the will of heaven, in fact, most of their actions are rather "against heaven."

Therefore, the destiny calamity is a test from heaven to see if a cultivator is qualified to go further.

It’s not difficult, but it’s not easy either.

It's not about good or evil, it's only about strength.

If you fail the test, you generally won't die, but if you are unlucky, you might die from the calamity of fate, which is bad luck.

For Bai Ze, the first two ways of dying are acceptable.

We monks are like boats rowing against the current, if we do not move forward we will move backward.

Being killed by a big wave is not a bad thing. At least you die while rowing against the current.

The last way of dying was the one he could least accept.

It's the end of his life, he died naturally.

what is this?
In a place like the prehistoric world, as long as you work hard, it is actually very unlikely that you will encounter the problem of dying.

Because before the end of their life span, there will always be various disasters that will cause the cultivator to die.

If he really died of the end of his lifespan, it would be an insult to most of the prehistoric cultivators.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey is different.

The clever stone monkey is able to transform himself, know the weather, understand the terrain, and move the stars and change the constellations.

In other words, the Spirit Stone Monkey was born knowing how to achieve immortality, how to find a blessed place, how to practice, and even how to make use of the stars in the sky.

Demonic monkey?

He is not even qualified to carry shoes for the Stone Monkey.

This kind of creature is born to become a great monk!
Bai Ze can say that as long as the Lingming Stone Monkey does not die, a Taiyi Golden Immortal is a foregone conclusion.

If you fall, there is nothing you can do.

The Four Mischief Monkeys are one of the most special creatures under the Heavenly Dao, and until now no one has been able to figure out the origin of their birth.

Therefore, many cultivators like to attack the Four Mischief Monkeys. Some want them as mounts, while others want to subdue them.

Unfortunately, most of the four mischievous monkeys have violent temperaments. Even the six-eared macaque, who is good at listening, able to observe principles, know the past and the future, and understand everything, has a very stubborn temperament.

Bai Ze stared at Jiang Wang.

Trying to get some clues from this young friend.

The only possibility is that this young friend changed the original course of the divine stone.

Otherwise it would be impossible that the future of this magical stone changed just as he was reminiscing about the past with the Dragon King of the East China Sea!
Heaven will not change its mind overnight.

Established facts are difficult to change.

Unless a supreme treasure intervenes.

Every innate treasure has the ability to change destiny.

However, changing fate here generally refers to changing the fate of "weak creatures".

Even the innate treasure cannot change the fate of the powerful.

Just like Taiyi who fell that year.

He owned the Chaos Bell, which was then called Donghuang.

So what?

Thinking of this, Bai Ze was stunned for a moment.

and many more.

His gaze once again passed through the sea and looked at the imposing Spiritual Stone Monkey.

The spiritual stone monkey had just been born and was extremely weak. If it had not been for the Qilin protecting it, at this moment, there is no telling how many demons and monsters would have come here based on the vision that occurred when the spiritual stone monkey was born.

"It's really you, my friend."

Bai Ze finally found the culprit.

The culprit is none other than Jiang Wang.

"Ah?" Jiang Wang was stunned.

"To be precise, it is the Chaos Bell on your body."

Bai Ze said bluntly: "Although I don't know why the Chaos Bell did this, it did give the stone monkey a chance to change his fate. Unfortunately, even the Chaos Bell cannot create the creation of the Heavenly Dao out of thin air."

"What do you mean, senior?" Jiang Wang was puzzled.

"I was wrong just now. This stone monkey really looks like the Lingming Stone Monkey. Unfortunately, in his current state, he can only be called a fake Lingming Stone Monkey. Compared with the real Lingming Stone Monkey, he still lacks something."

"Ok?"

Bai Ze’s words gave Jiang Wang a headache.

What is the fake Lingming Stone Monkey? Can such a thing be faked?

"Don't be surprised. The Chaos Bell has endowed this stone monkey with innate abilities that are almost equivalent to the Spiritual Stone Monkey. However, the Chaos Bell is not the Way of Heaven. It is just a treasure, and an uncontrollable treasure at that."

"It seems that because of you, He used the power of the origin and materialized the talent of the Spiritual Stone Monkey that He had seen before into this newly born stone monkey. This stone monkey has the shadow of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, but the evil spirit on its body has not been removed."

"So much so that this stone monkey is still a demon now."

"But unlike most monsters, his path ahead has already been paved. He just needs to follow the steps, and sooner or later he will be able to reach Taiyi." Bai Ze explained.

"Fortunately, this stone monkey is still a demon. It just has some marks of the Spiritual Stone Monkey. It is indeed a bit more troublesome, but it is much better than if he became a real Spiritual Stone Monkey."

Jiang Wang's eyes turned uncomfortable.

"That is to say, he is still a demon?"

Well, all my previous ideas are gone.

As for the demon clan, they are still under the control of Lingshan.

"Young friend, do you think it does not meet your expectations?"

"Yes, if he is a demon, Lingshan might be in chaos, but not too much." Jiang Wang nodded: "But if he is a Lingming Stone Monkey, Lingshan will definitely be in chaos."

Bai Ze shook his head: "You think too much. The Lingming Stone Monkey may be able to cause unrest in Lingshan, but it is very difficult to cause unrest in Lingshan. In fact, there are only two people who are really melancholy, those two."

Jiang Wang knew what Bai Ze meant.

Lingshan has a trump card.

That is the golden cicada.

But those two Western saints only have one trump card.

That is Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong is the seed cultivated with great effort by Patriarch Bodhi.

But this seed is only valid if he is a demon monkey.

The Spiritual Stone Monkey, even if it is a fake Spiritual Stone Monkey, will make the two's plans go awry.

Jiang Wang understood the trouble that Bai Ze was talking about.

"Father and brother, I have made up my mind! Please don't persuade me anymore!" Prince Yulong, also known as Xiaobailong, was very determined: "I am not as talented as my elder brother, and I am not very useful to the dragon clan. If my elder brother can practice for a few more years, maybe he can help my dragon clan return to its original status. At worst, we won't be bullied like we are now!"

Little White Dragon had something to say.

There is actually another reason why he must go——

He wants that nine-headed monster to die!

The face of the dragon clan was completely lost by the All Saints Dragon King and the Dragon Girl. He couldn't kill the nine-headed insect, but there would always be someone among the people who were in the calamity who could kill it.

This was the promise given to him by Senior Jiang Wang behind him.

For this promise, he also had to go into trouble.

It's true that he has a tolerant personality, but he is not really a coward! He is a dragon! How can a proud dragon not take revenge when he suffers such a great humiliation?

trouble.

big trouble.

When Bai Ze mentioned that he was causing trouble, Jiang Wang didn't realize it.

He realized it now.

It turns out that Lingshan’s troubles are all trivial matters.

How big of a trouble can the trouble be if it is confined to the primitive world?
To put it bluntly, Jiang Wang felt that with his current identity and background, he only needed to ask his teacher, Master Xuandu, to come over. What could the Buddhas in Lingshan do to him?
Apart from shouting a few times "The donor's behavior is really unreasonable", can they use physical means?

After all, Jiang Wang now holds a genuine priesthood in Heaven, so Lingshan dare not go too far.

Otherwise it would give the Great Heavenly Venerable an excuse to get angry.

The Great Lord is the kind of ruler who likes to stay behind the scenes.

What he likes to do most is to benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

If possible, it would be best if the major forces in the prehistoric world took the initiative to attack. Once a flaw is revealed, he would take a piece of meat from these forces.

This is for centralization of power.

The Great Celestial Venerable’s Taoism has a great deal to do with centralization of power.

This must be done.

But don’t forget that the great calamity of the Conferred Gods was instigated by the Great Heavenly Venerable.

In the end, not only did he land safely, but he also brought life back to heaven.

Therefore, Lingshan can covet the leadership position of Heaven, but it cannot really do anything blatantly that would overstep its authority.

Because if that happens, Heaven will make them understand what it means to kill people but end up with nothing, and destruction is just a joke.

Heaven has the ability to destroy all forces except the reincarnation lineage, but it will have to pay a huge price.

However, having a sword in hand and not having a sword in hand are two different things.

With a sword in hand, forces like Lingshan will behave themselves.

If there is no sword, even the wild dogs on the roadside will dare to come up and bark.

this is the truth.

But no matter how powerful the Heavenly Court is, can it really compete with the saints?

And there are not just one, but two saints.

If the two saints wanted to trip him up, it would be hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Even though Jiang Wang had the protection of his ancestors, he still felt a little uneasy.

"Senior, how about I slip away first? Anyway, Tianpeng and Xiaobailong have already established contact with us. When the catastrophe begins, we can follow the plan step by step. We can all get some benefits from the catastrophe."

"There is no need to worry about the demon race. The various factions in Heaven and Lingshan are fighting for their own interests. With our mediation, those good demons will eventually find a place to stay."

"If it really doesn't work, I will take them to some other place and give them a place to settle down."

To be honest, Jiang Wang now has quite a few worlds that he can manipulate.

First, eliminate the dangerous world where the Zhutian Universe is located.

Among all the worlds, the only one that Jiang Wang is not willing to go to often is the Zhutian Universe.

Because it is easy to be targeted by the weird clan when going to the Zhutian Universe.

This clan is as weird as its name suggests!

Once you are targeted by them, you can neither hide nor escape unless you act decisively. It is very troublesome.

But this does not mean that Jiang Wang cannot deal with the demon clan.

The proportion of good monsters in the monster race is not very high.

Of course, although the proportion is not high, there are too many monsters in the prehistoric times, more than humans.

This means that no matter how small the proportion of good monsters is, their number will still be frighteningly large in this huge ethnic group.

Yes.

Even in this era when humans are the protagonists of the ancient world, the number of monsters is still greater than that of humans.

no way.

The claims made by Di Jun and Tai Yi, the two golden crows, against the demon race were too overbearing.

Anyone who does not belong to the witch clan is a demon clan.

Almost all living creatures in the ancient world are included.

The Spirit Clan, Fire-Hating Clan, and Dog-Sealing Clan that split out later were all demon clans at first, but after the demon clan fell apart, they were forcibly separated from the demon clan and became independent clans.

Even so, if we remove those races that are separated from the demon race, the number of existing demons is still countless.

This is also the reason why the evil monsters in Xiniu Hezhou need to keep humans in captivity.

Without humans being kept in captivity, most of the little demons would not be content to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to practice, nor would they be willing to develop production, and would sooner or later starve to death.

Jiang Wang now actually regrets having readily agreed to Xihe's request to reorganize the good monsters and preserve the monster clan's bloodline.

This job is not difficult to do, but it is very troublesome.

It is so troublesome that Jiang Wang has to focus wholeheartedly on the development of Honghuang for a period of time.

Otherwise, he would most likely miss the opportunity and allow the demon clan to be completely controlled by Lingshan.

From now on, there will be no salvation for any demon, whether good or evil.

Jiang Wang remembered very clearly that during the Journey to the West, few of the good-hearted monsters had a good ending.

Just like those six tree spirits.

On the journey to the west, what impressed Jiang Wang most was the six tree spirits who were beaten to death by Zhu Bajie indiscriminately.

These six tree spirits were born in Thorn Ridge. They were named Jingjie Gong, Guzhi Gong, Lingkong Zi, Fuyun Sou, Naked Ghost and Xingxian.

Their original forms are pine, cypress, juniper, bamboo, maple and apricot.

These six tree spirits are completely different from most of the monsters on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

They were not interested in the flesh and blood of Tang Seng at all, and they did not even have any ill will towards Tang Seng and his disciples.

They were born on Thorn Ridge, where there were countless thorns, snakes and insects crawling on the ground, and the ecological environment was excellent.

It happened that the master and his three disciples came here, and Tang Seng said that this place was impassable and even horses could not be ridden.

Then the six tree spirits came out and invited Tang Seng and his disciples to go to their cave to rest for a while before continuing their journey.

Apart from trying to curry favor with the powerful and tempting Tang Monk and Xingxian to form a pair, the six tree spirits actually did not do anything evil.

It can be seen from their essence that they yearn for the basic moral values ​​of human beings.

In essence, he is a good demon recognized by Jiang Wang.

Perhaps their greatest evil was just causing a little "frustration" to the four masters and apprentices.

The road is not passable, which is indeed a big problem for the pilgrims.

But the thorns on Thorn Ridge are a trouble for Tang Seng. Are they a trouble for Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng?
Obviously not.

Any one of the three of them could make the thorns on Thorn Ridge disappear forever.

They could have clearly taken action to clear the thorns, but these three chose to attack six basically harmless monsters.

Therefore, in the journey to the West, one must either be strong enough, like Jiuling Yuansheng, who is so strong that even the monkeys cannot do anything to him, and can only ask the gods for help.

Either the backing must be strong enough, so that even if the monkey surrenders, they will not dare to kill it.

Or you can be as lucky as the black bear monster!

Like the Black Bear Demon, he was supposed to die, but because Guanyin took a liking to him, a good demon was turned into a mountain guardian god.

Otherwise, you'll be on your own, because the monkey's golden cudgel doesn't care whether you, a monster, are kind or evil. If it's none of the three situations mentioned above, there's only one word: death.

Facing Jiang Wang's words, Bai Ze did not refuse. He just said, "Now you have the power to control me, so you don't need to discuss it with me. I believe you can handle this matter well."

Bai Ze's inexplicable trust put Jiang Wang under even greater pressure.

He looked at the monkey running wildly on the Flower-Fruit Mountain and suddenly felt that a storm was about to come.

The Great Celestial Master received good news as soon as he returned to heaven.

The stone monkey was born.

Along with this good news comes bad news.

The stone monkey had a small problem.

It turns out that this monkey is a demon, and it is also the basis for Lingshan to make a profit in this catastrophe.

The status of the demon monkey in Lingshan may even surpass that of Jin Chanzi.

Now, the Great Heavenly Master suppressed his smile.

Which saint did such an evil thing that the stone monkey turned into a smart stone monkey born and raised by nature?

There is only two characters difference between the stone monkey and the clever stone monkey, but there is a world of difference between them.

Taibai Jinxing, who was standing by, saw that the Great Heavenly Venerable was smiling, but he was not quite sure why he was smiling.

Most gods know about the existence of the Spirit Stone Monkey, but few of them can recognize it at a glance like Bai Ze.

Among the existing immortals and gods, many have never even seen the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Taibai Jinxing thought about it and prepared to report on Jiang Wang’s recent actions as a routine matter.

It had not been long since this young friend had gone to the Flower-Fruit Mountain when the stone monkey was born. I don’t know if it was because of this young friend’s action.
