Chapter 1759 The Scorpion Demon and the Nine-Headed Insect Perish

The Six-Eared Macaque obtained a complete set of Buddhist cultivation techniques from Huang Mei that could be cultivated to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He had excellent aptitude and strong physique, and was actually very compatible with Buddhist cultivation techniques in all aspects. His cultivation progress was rapid, but he ultimately lacked the guidance of a master.

Without a good teacher, he was far inferior to Sun Wukong in this respect.

With so much knowledge available online, how many people are truly self-taught? The importance of imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts is self-evident.

Huang Mei himself was just a novice, incredibly weak. Liu Er's level of understanding had long surpassed his. He simply didn't understand the deeper meaning of many questions and had to ask Maitreya. He might be willing to go through the trouble of asking a couple of questions occasionally, but he wouldn't bother asking every day. He could easily brush it off with a simple "When the time comes, you will understand naturally."

This means that Liu Er's combat strength relies entirely on his own talent, and King Kong can always anticipate his opponent's moves and beat him into a sorry state.

If he had a magic weapon, he might have been able to break the deadlock, but unfortunately, he didn't have one.

If one possessed powerful supernatural abilities, perhaps the situation could be resolved, but unfortunately, one does not have such abilities.

His talent as the Six-Eared Macaque was merely the ability to listen to the three realms, but this ability was not very useful in battle.

Relying on his superb martial arts skills and innate superhuman strength, he could defeat 99% of the enemies in the prehistoric world. Unfortunately, King Kong was clearly not among them.

King Kong's great axe slashed downwards at an angle. Just as Six Ears made a parrying motion, the opponent changed his move first, sweeping the blade horizontally towards his waist.

"I'm so angry!" Liu Er was struggling to defend himself and had never felt so frustrated since he was born. Seeing that he had no chance of winning, he ran away without saying a word.

He could tell that Kong had very poor mobility.

Six Ears escaped on a cloud, much to the scorpion demon's alarm.

Wielding his pipa, he managed to parry three more attacks before Sun Wukong found an opening and smashed his staff down on his head.

There's no way to dodge this!
Even at this moment, the scorpion demon's first reaction was to cover her face with her sleeve. The golden cudgel crashed down, smashing her brains and revealing her true scorpion form. In the end, her appearance was concealed by makeup and was not truly exposed.

Sun Wukong, preoccupied with "his" relic, killed the Scorpion Demon, venting his anger. Without even calling out to Zhu Yingtai, he somersaulted off to chase the Nine-Headed Insect.

The wooden dog kept biting the nine-headed worm's neck. Thinking of the prophecy that "a bird once had ten heads, which could capture human souls, but one head was devoured by a dog," the nine-headed worm was greatly shocked. He scared himself and fought for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but he still couldn't get rid of the wooden dog's entanglement.

While they were still tearing at each other, Sun Wukong rushed over.

"Great Sage, please spare me! Great Sage, please spare me!"

"The little one is a primordial beast, and knows the location of a very hidden treasure trove belonging to Lord Yun Zhongjun!"

The Nine-Headed Insect begged for mercy repeatedly, revealing a fawning smile, but unfortunately, it encountered Sun Wukong.

The golden cudgel drew a graceful arc, and with a loud "bang," the last remaining head of the nine-headed worm was also blown apart, with blood and bone splattering everywhere.

"My life...it wasn't my time to die," the Nine-Headed Insect mumbled incoherently, his endless resentment vanishing as his life force disappeared.

Sun Wukong didn't care about the treasure vault at all; he only wanted to achieve enlightenment.

He killed the Nine-Headed Insect with a single blow. As if it knew the contents of the prophecy, the wooden dog carried the Nine-Headed Insect's last bloody and mangled head into the distance and eventually disappeared.

Sun Wukong ignored the wooden dog and began to search the corpse of the nine-headed insect, quickly finding a blood-red relic.

This relic is slightly different from the one he saw in Kui Mulang's hands before.

Should he swallow it whole? Just as he was pondering this, a voice rang out behind him: "Hehe, Great Sage, you've found a treasure? Why don't you let this old man take a look too?"

As Sun Wukong turned around, he hid the relic in his tiger-skin skirt.

"So it's Venus, the old star lord, long time no see." He smiled and bowed.

Venus also laughed, his laughter quite amusing.

Sun Wukong feigned ignorance: "What treasure? Did the Old Star Lord recently find a treasure? Perhaps he could show it to me?"

"Hahahaha—Great Sage, you are amazing! Hahaha!"

"Hehehehe—Old Star Lord, hehe!"

The two laughed at each other for a while, until Sun Wukong's face became a little stiff. Then Taibai Jinxing spoke up, "Great Sage, do you still remember the time a few months ago when endless blood light enveloped the entire prehistoric world?"

He was referring to the Blood Demon God's attack on Jin'ao Island. Sun Wukong was still on his journey to the West at that time, far from the battlefield, but the entire prehistoric sky was covered by blood light, and he still had a deep impression of this event.

"Remember, remember!"

Venus said, word by word, "The blood has tainted too many treasures in the world. If we do not use immortal methods to remove the filth and rashly absorb its power, both immortals and Buddhas will suffer calamity."

After saying that, he glanced at the corpse of the Nine-Headed Insect. Look, this was a primordial beast, and its death was not yet due, but what happened? It was killed by you. This is a calamity.

Sun Wukong's eyes darted around a few times.

The Bodhi Patriarch had taught him similar methods for removing impurities from such treasures, but at that time he was focused on learning the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, and hadn't listened at all. Now he could only recall about 50-60% of the content.

He could practice it diligently, but even if he mastered a similar technique, whether he could successfully remove the impurities from the relics was questionable. Even if he could remove them, he wasn't sure if they were completely removed.

You can ask him to kill and commit arson, no problem, that's his forte.

Are you making things difficult for Old Sun by asking him to refine elixirs and practice Zen meditation?
It would be such a waste if one's foundation, which has been painstakingly built under the Five Elements Mountain, were to be damaged again because of a relic.

After much deliberation, he took out the relic from inside the tiger-skin skirt.

Venus smiled and accepted it, then rode a cloud to Mount Ling. As the Western Inspector, his main job was to liaise with the Western world, and now that he had found a relic, he naturally had to send it to the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling as soon as possible.

Tang Sanzang and his disciples stayed in the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang for more than ten days.

The Jade Rabbit's skills are extraordinary; as long as it can draw the power of moonlight from the Taiyin Star, it can heal any kind of injury.

The scorpion demon's venom was indeed potent, but it was completely removed by the moonlight three days later.

With the Nine-Headed Insect dead and the threat from the demonic level gone, Shirahoshi is much safer.

As for whether the Kingdom of Jisa will send troops, that's a matter for the old queen and Zhu Yingtai. They'll deal with whatever comes their way. If they're well-prepared, and their kingdom is still destroyed in the end, then there's nothing more to say.

Tang Sanzang forced himself to ignore Bai Xing's gaze, and the four of them left the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang and continued their journey westward.
