I start by accepting Sun Wukong as my disciple and reshape the Journey to the West

Chapter 194 If Survival
Seeing that Xi was more knowledgeable, almost the instant the Monkey King snapped his fingers, he shouted, "Release the Golden Cudgel!"

"Second brother!"

As Xi's final screams became more heart-wrenching, the golden cudgel pierced through both ends of the golden ram, and Er Ting Nu revealed his form, hanging on the golden cudgel like a roasted lamb.

"Sun Wukong! I'll fight you to the death! Give me back my second brother!!!" The voice of She Changsi was like a demonic chant, and the sounds of his voice formed lines, attacking the traveler.

The sound waves have taken form, each wave transforming into a deity, including figures such as Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and Laozi.

"A mere monkey, worthy of the fortune of heaven and earth? At most, it's just a tool for us to collect fortune!" Buddha sat high on his lotus throne, his voice devoid of any emotion, looking down at the traveler.

"A vessel entrusted by Heaven's mandate dares to fight against Heaven? Dares to call itself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven? Order Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and Nezha, the Third Prince, to go to Flower Fruit Mountain and kill this monkey!" Behind the tasseled crown and beaded curtain, the Jade Emperor's eyes seemed to hold the heavens and stars, but he could not see any living beings.

"My alchemy furnace, with its fire of both civil and military power, can refine all things in heaven and earth. A mere stone monkey is nothing to worry about! If this monkey is refined into an elixir, it might actually be able to create an elixir that can break my seal! Excellent, excellent!" Laozi, standing before the alchemy furnace, showed no signs of joy or anger, but the hand waving his fan noticeably quickened.

Even the high and mighty gods and Buddhas seem to have their own greed, anger, ignorance, and pride.

"Nonsense! Wukong, be careful!" Tang Sanzang saw and heard everything clearly. His questions seemed to reach the deepest part of people's hearts, making them subconsciously want to believe these things.

The traveler felt as if his head was about to explode from the noise, and he covered his ears tightly, trying to shut them out.

His eyes turned bloodshot, filled with hatred, even more painful than when he faced the illusion that Yi Yu had conjured.

The fires in the alchemy furnace burned even brighter under Laozi's fan. Not only that, the traveler discovered that his body was melting; these fires were actually able to refine him!

This is impossible!

The traveler was filled with disbelief. Why? He looked around and found that the Buddha and the Jade Emperor were also in the midst of the fire, beneath the lotus platform and the imperial throne, with countless red chains extending out, their endpoint being his heart.

He is an infallible rock, a stone dropped by Nuwa to mend the sky, and a vessel of destiny fallen since ancient times. Now that the two most powerful figures in the Three Realms are simultaneously drawing destiny from his body, his dissipation seems to have been destined long ago.

The traveler suddenly released his hands from his ears. There was no other reason than that he felt despair. From the very beginning, he was destined to become a vessel for existence.

No matter how much he struggles, he cannot escape the inevitable forces of nature.

"Wukong, have you forgotten the way out I gave you?"

Suddenly, Lu Ya's voice rang in the traveler's ears.

"I'd like to see who dares to hurt him!"

hum!
The two voices sounded out of nowhere, but in an instant, Wukong's face regained its clarity.

"To break through this stubborn void, one must be Wukong! I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, a disciple of my master! I am not a vessel for you!"

With a loud shout from Wukong, cracks appeared in the golden bodies of the Jade Emperor and the other two.

"Take this from my old Sun!" Wukong swept his golden cudgel out, and at that moment, the golden bodies of the three powerful figures shattered.

The figure of Tongue Tasting Thoughts appeared, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"By uttering words that violate the precepts, incited the thoughts of three quasi-saints, and harmed the chosen one of destiny, his crime deserves death!"

Wukong's golden cudgel transformed into the shape of a jade tablet, which he held with utmost respect, and then spoke in a respectful voice.

"Now I beseech the three paths to vanquish the demon!"

As the traveler finished speaking, thunder roared in the sky, and dozens of silver rays fell on the tongue-tasting mind.

"Watch out!" Nose Love shouted, then transformed into a streak of light and embraced Tongue Taste.

The six of them were, after all, one entity. At this moment, Nose-Sniffing Love only thought of protecting Tongue-Tasting Thought, having no other intentions. Dozens of silver rays directly enveloped the two, and screams echoed within the silver light. When the silver light dissipated, the two had already vanished into thin air.

Seeing that Xi's eyes were about to burst with rage, his life essence began to burn.

“Sun Wukong, how dare you do this? We six are the disciples of saints…”

Seeing that Xi's words had stopped, he realized that they were acting out of saintly volition, only to fulfill today's wishes. Memories of the past overwhelmed his thoughts like a tidal wave.

His initial resolve to die and his determination to perish together with Sun Wukong vanished. Since he possessed the mind of a sage, his potential was boundless. As long as he survived, there was no fear of running out of firewood.

The next second, he transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance.

The traveler was very interested in Yan Kanxi's eyes. He wanted to control those eyes and didn't want him to suffer a desperate situation. But unexpectedly, Yan Kanxi, who had been about to fight to the death, suddenly stopped.

"That suits me perfectly!"

A hair flew out from the traveler's hand, instantly transforming into countless silver threads that disappeared into the void at an extremely fast speed. When it reappeared, it had transformed into a cage a hundred miles away, but the cage was empty.

Ok?
The traveler tilted his head and examined the empty cage. He believed in the methods Ye Xuantian had taught him, so he was confident that the empty cage was not what he saw with his own eyes.

"Looking at Xi, if you come out now, you might still live. But if you wait until I, Old Sun, make my move, I guarantee you'll regret it!"

The threat from the traveler was almost nonexistent, and the cage remained empty.

"Master said that your eyes are useful. After all, he won't create another havoc in the Heavenly Palace and use the power of a sage to train another pair of wise eyes. Therefore, your eyes are very important!"

The traveler covered his left eye with one hand, and his right eye was gradually covered with a layer of golden light.

He was focusing all his keen eyesight on his right eye.

"Break through illusion!"

As the traveler's voice faded, the silver cage was enveloped in a layer of golden light.

"I observe that you are at your own ease."

The golden cage emitted countless rays of light, gradually piecing together a human figure in the center. It was none other than Yan Kanxi, who was now tightly wrapped in golden threads.

"You actually managed to make me reveal myself? How is that possible?"

"Joy exists only when it is seen, and does not exist when it is not seen. If it exists! Although I do not know what 'if it exists' means, I only need to follow Master's words!"

"Looking at you, if you transform into eyes now and stop resisting, in accordance with Master's style, you will surely have a better future!"

The traveler's long-winded explanation did nothing to sway Yan Kanxi, who retorted fiercely, "You killed five of my brothers, and you expect me to become your tool unharmed? Don't even think about it!"

"Alright, I've given you a chance. With the mercy of Buddha, I'll send you to the Pure Land!" The pilgrim readily agreed, as if the previous question was just a formality. As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his sword, and the golden threads instantly retracted. Xi couldn't believe it; the pilgrim who had previously tried to win her over was now so decisive. She was about to speak again.

"Destroy!"

With a low shout from the traveler, a loud bang was heard, and Deyan Kanxi turned into a puff of smoke, leaving only a pair of eyeballs.

"Procedural justice must still be followed! I gave you a chance." The traveler opened his palm, and his pair of eyes appeared in his hand.

"I wonder who will receive these discerning eyes!"
