Chapter 344 The Great Sage Set, Somersault Cloud, and Ruyi Jingu Bang!! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking additional subscriptions!)
Golden light surged towards him like a tidal wave, but Wu Xian made no attempt to stop it. He could even clearly feel a series of joyful and urgent calls coming from within his body.

This feeling was like seeing a long-lost relative, constantly urging Wu Xian to quickly come into contact with these golden lights.

Clearly, this is the intention transmitted by Sun Wukong's five innate qualities, and the origin of these golden lights is self-evident.

With this in mind, Wu Xian no longer hesitated. He opened his arms in a hugging motion, allowing the golden light to fall on his head, limbs, and torso.

As the golden light flowed, the traveler's outfit on his body also underwent a dramatic transformation.

A golden crown adorned with feathers—a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown!

Golden armor with a red rope—a golden chainmail!

Golden Arms Painted with Flying Dragons – Kingfisher Feather Flying Dragon Braid!

Golden boots with cloud-patterned design – Lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes!

This is the Great Sage Set, a divine treasure. In the game's storyline of Black Myth, they were scattered around Flower Fruit Mountain after Sun Wukong's death. Over the long years, they evolved and each developed its own spirituality, transforming into four different spirits.

The golden-horned rhinoceros symbolizes Sun Wukong's indomitable will;

The Cloud-Walking Deer subtly reveals Sun Wukong's fierce and unruly nature;
General Phoenix Wings possesses the quick wit and unpredictable mind of Sun Wukong;
The Green-Armed Mantis inherited Sun Wukong's ruthless and decisive methods.

These four kinds of spirits, apart from the Phoenix Wing General who is always jumping around, each occupy a territory in Flower Fruit Mountain and do not allow any living beings to approach. Even if a person with the potential of Sun Wukong comes, they still have to do something to subdue them.

However, Wu Xian was unwilling to put in much effort. Taking advantage of the moment when he was playing tricks on the gods and immortals of Heaven, he gave the purple-gold gourd he had obtained from the land deity of Flaming Mountain to Zhu Bajie, asking him to help subdue the four monsters.

After all, these four spirits had only just gained sentience and were simple-minded. Pigsy only needed to open the gourd stopper and call out, and after receiving a response, he could easily put them into the gourd.

Then, with the help of the gourd's own refining power, the four monsters can be transformed back into their original, armored forms and put to use by Wu Xian.

At the same time, the immortals and gods below also noticed the strangeness about Wu Xian.

When the golden light faded and the familiar armor appeared, almost everyone stood there dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

If the previous chosen one only possessed seven or eight parts of Sun Wukong's spirit, then at this moment, he resembles him completely, both in spirit and appearance.

He only lacks the Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff), and he will be no different from Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

buzzing-

Suddenly, a howling wind came from the horizon.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slightly dim white shadow flying over like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it crossed thousands of miles and arrived in front of Wu Xian, circling around him endlessly, like a lost bird that had seen its master return home.

"Haha! What a stroke of luck! It's Senior Brother's Somersault Cloud!"

Looking at the jubilant clouds, Pigsy couldn't help but burst into laughter, his face beaming with uncontrollable joy.

"I was wondering where it had gone all these years. I suppose those few pieces of clothing you just wore resonated with the five root qualities within you, and you thought it was your senior brother returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, which is why you rushed over here."

As he spoke, Pigsy began to wink and make faces again: "Nephew, although you know the magic of shrinking the earth to an inch, when it comes to the ability to ride the cloud, you are still no match for this cloud."

Now that it considers you its senior brother, you might as well use it. If you encounter a powerful enemy you can't defeat in the future, you can use it to escape. That would be perfect.

"Well, thank you so much." Wu Xian rolled his eyes helplessly upon hearing this, but still stepped onto the Somersault Cloud... How to describe it? It felt a bit like wearing slippers that felt like stepping on poop, soft and fluffy, but not so soft that you couldn't stand up. Overall, it felt pretty good.

That said, how should this somersault cloud be used? Does it really require him to do a somersault?
With that thought in mind, the somersault cloud beneath his feet suddenly hummed.

The next second, Wu Xian felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery began to rush backward, as if stretching out a dazzling array of colorful light and shadow like bubbles.

By the time Wu Xian realized what was happening, the world before him had been completely transformed into a scene of endless yellow sand. He had suddenly leaped from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Huangfeng Ridge in Nanzhanbuzhou.

Wu Xian was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter. This speed was indeed a top-notch tool for traveling, almost indistinguishable from spatial jumps.

"Good Yun'er, let's continue."

As if he had thought of something, Wu Xian began to try to communicate with the Somersault Cloud and transmitted the scenery of Black Wind Mountain, Little Western Paradise, Spider Cave, and Flame Mountain to it.

Soon, as if in response, the Somersault Cloud trembled slightly, then leaped several times in succession to reach several places above. At the same time, it activated its self-driving tour mode, taking Wu on a relatively slow tour of the Three Realms and Four Continents. Wasn't that carefree and enjoyable?

Such actions naturally attracted the attention of many.

Before long, Wu Xian noticed countless eyes peeking at him, but he ignored them and instead sent the Somersault Cloud back to Flower Fruit Mountain, preparing to bring the first stage of this journey of the chosen one to a close.

……

When Wu Xian returned to Flower Fruit Mountain on his somersault cloud, the once mighty Heavenly Army had vanished without a trace.

Clearly, upon seeing Wu Xian don the Great Sage outfit, the immortals and gods who were already considering retreating completely lost their fighting spirit and dared not confront him.

As it happened, their commander-in-chief, Li Jing, was nowhere to be found, so the immortals and gods used this as an excuse to lead the remaining defeated troops back to heaven in a sorry state.

It is conceivable that if the Heavenly Court knew the details of this battle, it would attach great importance to the existence of Wu Xian, the chosen one.

They would at least place him on the same level as Sun Wukong back then. If they were to send troops down to the mortal realm to punish him, even more powerful immortals and gods would surely step in.

After all, these are no ordinary demons and monsters; we must strike hard!
Of course, not everyone left.

For example, Nezha's situation has been somewhat off ever since Wu Xian took control of the Linglong Pagoda.

Although it still maintained that cold, emotionless demeanor, it had ceased all its aggressive desires, standing blankly in place like a robot that had been turned off and restarted, as if waiting for new instructions.

Wu Xian walked up to Nezha, raised his hand and placed it on his forehead, emitting a blue halo.

"So that's how it is. The Heavenly Soul and the Seven Spirits have been extracted. No wonder it has turned into this state."

Muttering something to himself, Wu Xian shook his head and directly activated the subdued Linglong Pagoda, taking Nezha into it, and then left it alone.

What happened next is self-explanatory. Without the harassment of the Heavenly Army, Wu Xian, who had collected all the armor, went with Zhu Bajie into the Water Curtain Cave to obtain the last and most important item for him.

The Iron Pillar that Stabilizes the Sea! The Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel)!!
