Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 354 Monkey King
Right now, there is really no way to repair the foundation in the lower world.

Xiao Chen thought of going to the upper realm to look for it.

"Searching for a method or treasure to repair the foundation may involve secrets or taboos of the Heavenly Court..."

"Ordinary gods in heaven are really useless if their level is not high enough."

Xiao Chen pondered secretly in his mind, his brows furrowed.

He knew very well that the rules of Heaven were strict, and many things were not as simple as they seemed, especially when it came to repairing the foundation, which was a rare treasure related to the very foundation of spiritual practice and might even touch upon the core secrets or taboos of Heaven.

It is definitely not something that ordinary gods can access.

If one wants to find methods or treasures to repair the foundation in heaven, one must rely on gods with sufficient power and status.

And Sun Wukong, the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" of heaven, is undoubtedly the best candidate he can think of at the moment.

"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong..."

"With the name 'The Great Sage Equaling Heaven', it should be feasible..."

Xiao Chen whispered softly.

According to Xiao Chen's understanding.

At this time, Sun Wukong was still serving as the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" in the Heavenly Palace. Although the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was just an honorary position, to put it bluntly, he had an official position but no salary.

In other words, Sun Wukong only has a title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, but has no corresponding salary or welfare benefits.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that the Monkey King is of a very high rank, just as the Jade Emperor himself promised:

"I now appoint you as the 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven', 'the highest official rank'."

"The highest official rank", these four simple words contain endless profound meaning. What do they mean?

This "highest official rank" means that the Monkey King's rank has reached the pinnacle of heaven, and there is no higher official position than this.

The Monkey King is almost on the same level as the Four Emperors of Heaven. If he were placed in the lower world, Sun Wukong would have the noble status of a king of a different surname.

No matter whether the Monkey King has real power or a salary, his rank in the heavenly system is real.

The title of The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is itself a supreme honor.

Sun Wukong can see the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors without having to perform any rituals.

Even when he met the Five Elders of the Five Directions, or gods of the same level as Buddha Tathagata and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong only treated them as brothers and addressed them by name, which shows how transcendent his status was.

In the Heavenly Palace, a place with an extremely strict system, an official with a higher rank can crush people to death. This is an unchanging iron rule.

However, the Monkey King Sun Wukong was able to easily gain reception and courtesy from the immortals.

For example, Sun Wukong only needs to make a report:

"I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, and I want to see you."

The Great Emperor Zhenwu immediately left the Zhenwu Palace and welcomed Sun Wukong to the Taihe Palace. The same was true for Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun. When he heard that it was Sun Wukong who was visiting, he immediately summoned the guards and fairies to welcome Sun Wukong to the palace and got down from his seat to meet him. When the Great Emperor Donghua saw Sun Wukong, he hurriedly returned the greeting and took Sun Wukong's hand to enter.

Sun Wukong could see all the big guys in heaven, such as the God of Longevity, the God of Fortune, the God of Wealth... and they all treated him with courtesy.

Xiao Chen knew in his heart that although Sun Wukong had no real power in Heaven, his status as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was there, and he was indeed a high-ranking official.

Such a Sun Wukong might be able to help him inquire a little in the Heavenly Palace to see if there are any methods in the Heavenly Palace to repair the foundation, or if there are any rare treasures that can repair the foundation.

This is undoubtedly a glimmer of hope for Xiao Chen.

However, he and Sun Wukong had been separated for a long time, one on the earth and the other in the sky, and there was no news of them.

Sun Wukong still doesn't know that he already has seven gourd spirit nephews, otherwise he would definitely come and play and see his seven nephews.

With heavy thoughts in mind, Xiao Chen first went to Pansi Cave in Pingfeng Mountain.

He wanted to go see the immortal Pansi and completely heal her physical and spiritual injuries, and extend her life as much as possible.

Then he went to look for Sun Wukong.

Pingfeng Mountain, inside the Pansi Temple.

The poisonous fog was lingering, like a forbidden area shrouded in fog, emitting a heart-pounding breath, a mysterious and dangerous scene.

Inside the main hall of Pansi Temple, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was concentrating on his research on poisons, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord sat beside a rustic wooden table, smoking a pipe.

The smoke was mixed with a faint toxin from Qin Yuan's poison. He carefully absorbed the venom from Qin Yuan, one of the ten great demon saints in ancient times, swallowed it into his mouth and savored it carefully, shaking his head, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

The poison of Qin Yuan comes from the demon saint Qin Yuan, one of the ten great demon saints in ancient times. It is said that only a small drop of this poison can poison a Daluo Jinxian.

Its toxicity is so strong that it terrifies all living things in the world.

As the incarnation of the poisonous centipede demon, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord has studied various toxins for many years. He has a deep understanding and research on all kinds of poisons in the world, and is a well-deserved "Breaking Bad".

However, even a poison expert like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord did not dare to be careless when facing the Qinyuan poison.

He was well aware of the power of the venom, so he handled it with extreme caution.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord first diluted the venom into poisonous mist, and then slowly absorbed it to study it, for fear that he would be tricked by accident.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord took a deep breath and slowly absorbed the diluted poisonous mist, as if he was tasting the most precious wine in the world. He frowned from time to time, and his eyes flashed with thought.

At this moment.

A golden light suddenly appeared, cutting through the sky at an extremely fast speed, covering a thousand miles in an instant, and "whoosh" quickly swept into Pansi Temple.

In the golden light, a figure could be vaguely seen; it was Xiao Chen.

When Xiao Chen saw the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, he smiled and greeted him:
"Brother Baimu."

"Brother Jinjiao, you have to be careful..."

Upon hearing this, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord’s expression changed drastically.

He was just about to remind Xiao Chen to be careful of the poisonous fog in Pansi Temple, but for a moment he forgot that he was still inhaling the Qinyuan poisonous smoke.

"Cough cough cough..."

He was unable to catch his breath and took several deep puffs of Qinyuan's poisonous smoke. His face suddenly turned as pale as pig liver and he coughed repeatedly due to choking. It was obvious that the poison had already entered his body.

Xiao Chen was startled when he saw this, but he had the Precious Lotus Lantern to protect him, so he was not afraid of the Qinyuan poisonous fog which had been diluted many times.

As soon as he thought about it, the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern flashed through his body, and all the toxins in his body were eliminated.

immediately.

Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he rushed to the side of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord, and gently patted his shoulder. A warm mana flowed into the body of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord, helping him to quickly expel the inhaled toxins.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord only felt a stream of clear water flowing, and he felt instantly comfortable, and his coughing stopped.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord looked at Xiao Chen gratefully, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

Afterwards, he quickly took out a wind-storing gourd, opened the bottle, and collected all the poisonous fog in Pansi Temple into it.

If this poisonous fog leaks out, it will bring endless disasters to the outside world. He knows this very well, so he handles it with extreme caution.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord knew that Brother Jinjiao had a powerful way of healing, so he didn't find it strange.

After collecting the poison mist, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord turned to Xiao Chen and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Brother Jinjiao, you are here."

Xiao Chen nodded and asked tentatively:

"Well, Brother Baimu, how is your master doing recently?"

As the saying goes, "A woman's heart is as unfathomable as a needle in the sea."

He knew very well that women's minds were unpredictable, especially someone like Pansi Daxian, so he wanted to find out her current situation and attitude before making any plans.

Upon hearing this, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord showed a look of sincere gratitude on his face and said:
"Brother Jinjiao, I still have to thank you for accompanying Master to relax that day."

"Ever since Master came back from the market that night, she has been very happy and cheerful these days."

"She smiles a lot more."

"I have followed Master for so many years, and I have never seen Master so happy."

"Oh……"

"That's it."

Xiao Chen heard this and immediately had an idea in his mind. He smiled and said:
"This... we are all family, this is what we should do, it's what we should do."

"Then I'm going to visit Master Ling."

When the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord heard that Xiao Chen was going to visit his master, Pansi Daxian, he quickly said:

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Jinjiao."

"I hope Brother Jinjiao can accompany Master to relax for a while."

"I haven't seen Master so happy in a long time."

He knew that Xiao Chen's concern for his master came from the heart and was not false. This true friendship was like the warm sunshine in spring, which made him feel warm in his heart. Xiao Chen waved his hand, gently patted the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Brother Baimu, we don't have to be so formal in the future."

"We are one family and we don't have different opinions."

"From now on, your master's affairs will be my affairs."

"If you need any help or anything, just ask me."

His words were full of sincerity and determination, as if he was making a solemn promise to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

After all, given his current relationship with Pansi Daxian.

To King Jinjiao, the Pansi Cave of the Great Immortal Pansi was like the dowry that the Great Immortal brought with him, and became a part of his power.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and the seven spider spirits, as disciples of the Great Immortal Pansi, are naturally the monsters under his command, the King of the Golden Horns.

This is just like the relationship between the Jade-faced Fox's Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain and the Bull Demon King. They have long been closely connected and inseparable.

Jilei Mountain belongs to the Jade-faced Fox, but it also belongs to the Bull Demon King; Pansi Cave belongs to the Pansi Immortal, and it also belongs to him, the Golden Horned King.

To put it bluntly, this Pansi Cave will be his own property in the future and an important piece of the puzzle in the power map of King Jinjiao.

Pansidian Cave works for him, and he also wants to find a good way out for Pansidian Cave.

Nowadays, under the command of King Jinjiao, he has a huge force, a vast territory, and many monsters and generals.

Kanyuan Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, Chechi Kingdom in Xiniu Hezhou, Black Wind Mountain, Yellow Wind Ridge, Dudi Mountain, Pansi Cave...

As well as the Xuanjin Mountain in Uttarakuru...all of them are the territories of King Jinjiao.

These three continents, covering nearly ten thousand miles of territory, are in his hands and they obey his orders.

He, the King of Golden Horn, is now the undisputed overlord of the demon world!

Although the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord did not quite understand the specific meaning of Xiao Chen's words for a moment, he could clearly feel the heaviness and sincerity in Xiao Chen's words.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said:
"Then thank you, Brother Jinjiao."

Xiao Chen also laughed and patted the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord on the shoulder.

The two demons smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, Xiao Chen turned and flew towards the Pansi Cave.

After a familiar voice of "Open Sesame", the door of Pansi Cave slowly opened.

Xiao Chen stepped into the Pansi Cave and broke through the water curtain barrier. The familiar Pansi courtyard came into view. Everything seemed to have not changed, and it was still so peaceful and beautiful.

Under the hibiscus tree, the sunlight was as fine as gold foil as before, shining through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkling on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

The shadows of the trees swayed and danced in the wind, as if welcoming this long-lost friend.

Purple is natural and charming.

The fairy Pansi was wearing a plain purple dress. The light fabric fit her graceful figure tightly, outlining her perfect curves that made her heart beat faster.

She leaned quietly on the table, holding her snow-white cheek with her hand, looking lazy and full of charm. Her eyes were as deep as a pool, hiding endless thoughts, as if she was thinking about something.

A pot of wine lay quietly beside her. The aroma of the wine was like a thread, intertwining with the faint fragrance on her body, weaving an intoxicating fragrance.

"Clap clap clap..."

The fairy Pansi was holding a chopstick in her hand, gently drawing on the table, as if sketching some pattern. Perhaps she was sketching the vision in her heart, or perhaps she was just unconsciously dispelling the loneliness in her heart.

Since you are lovers, you must have the patience and perseverance of lovers, just like the light and shadow under the hibiscus tree, which is bright yet secretive.

Naturally, she couldn't go to Xuanjin Mountain to find King Jinjiao openly. She could only stay here, like a husband-waiting stone, and wait quietly for that man to come.

The breeze blew gently, lifting a few strands of her black hair. The black hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of tenderness and anticipation.

Her eyes looked towards the cave entrance from time to time, as if she was praying silently in her heart that he would return soon so that she could enjoy the beautiful scenery under the hibiscus tree and drink the wine in the pot with her.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a slight wave was heard.

Xiao Chen broke the water curtain barrier, and the familiar figure instantly attracted all her attention.

There was a flash of surprise and excitement in her eyes, as if all her waiting and longing were rewarded at this moment.

"Golden Horn..."

A gentle call, full of affection and longing, floats in the wind.

Immediately afterwards, a purple shadow flashed by like lightning, and a soft and fragrant body fell lightly into Xiao Chen's arms.

Xiao Chen lowered his head and looked at the beautiful face in his arms.

There was joy and anticipation in Pansi Daxian's eyes, as if the whole world became brighter because of his arrival.

However, there was a hint of worry in Xiao Chen's heart.

The situation inside the body of the Great Immortal Pan Si was too complicated, and what Zi Jiao and Qing Jiao were about left him a little confused.

Although Pansi Daxian was dressed in purple and as gentle as ever, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask tentatively:

"Zi Jiao?"

The Great Fairy Pansi smiled sweetly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, gentle yet firm:
"Golden Horn, it's me."

Her voice was full of certainty and affection, which instantly dispelled Xiao Chen's doubts.

Since everyone is already in love, why be shy?

Men should naturally take the initiative.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He hugged Zijiao tightly and kissed her passionately, covering her beautiful red lips.

This kiss seemed to travel through time and space, continuing the unfinished kiss from the last time, and continuing the unfinished love between them.

"Well, Golden Horn..."

Zijiao looked a little immature in Xiao Chen's arms, but she still hugged him tightly and responded to the kiss with a little shyness.

Their lips were pressed tightly together, their breath intertwined, as if the whole world had stopped and only the two of them were left.

Their kiss became more and more passionate, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their lives.

After a long time.

Xiao Chen finally let go of Zijiao.

Zi Jiao's cheeks had turned red, her body had become soft, and she nestled in Xiao Chen's arms.

She looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes shining with happiness and satisfaction.

Her fingers gently stroked Xiao Chen's face, as if she wanted to engrave his face in her heart forever.

Zi Jiao took Xiao Chen's hand and walked lightly into the courtyard. She pointed at the wine jug on the table that was glowing with a faint luster. Her eyes were shining with anticipation and memories. She smiled and said:

"Jinjiao, this is 'Ancient Demon Court Jade Liquor'."

"Last time you said you wanted to drink."

There was a barely perceptible hint of emotion in her voice, as if this wine carried too many stories.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen hugged Zi Jiao's soft and slender waist and said softly:
"Then let's drink together."

"Okay, then I'll go get two more pots."

Zijiao was delighted, with a sweet smile on her lips, as bright and charming as a flower blooming in spring.

She turned and walked towards the hibiscus tree, where were hidden her and his memories of their past lives, as well as the pot of "Yao Ting Yuye Wine" that he had promised her to drink together.

Zijiao dug out two pots of wine with ease, and the aroma of the wine instantly filled the entire courtyard. The familiar and intoxicating scent seemed to bring his promise from his previous life to life.

The aroma of wine instantly filled the entire courtyard, intoxicating people.

This was the wine he gave her in his previous life, and he had promised her to drink it together and enjoy the beautiful scenery under the hibiscus tree.

However, he broke his promise, leaving her alone to wait for him for so many long years.

The loneliness and longing are like the bitterness in the aroma of wine, which is hard to describe.

Zijiao placed the wine jug gently on the table, as if placing a precious memory.

Then, Zijiao walked into the kitchen of Pansi Courtyard and started to get busy.

Zijiao skillfully selects fresh fruits, cuts them into thin slices, and then marinates them with special honey.

Zi Jiao was obviously in a very happy mood at the moment. While she was busy, she hummed an ancient ballad:
"When the world was created, chaos and vastness arose; between the mountains and the sea, there was a myriad of sorrows..."

"The sun is too dark, and the master of destiny is the great wilderness..."

"The Golden Crow returns together and lands on Fusang..."
