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

Chapter 5 How could such a great apprentice of mine be snatched away?

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the stone monkey could not help but look up, and saw that Bangni had a serious and disgusted look on his face, with his brows tightly furrowed.

The stone monkey felt that the person in front of him was as unfathomable as the deep sea, and that vast aura made him unable to help but be conquered.

"Immortal Master!"

"Master is inside, follow me in!"

The stone monkey's eyes brightened a little more. The mud already made it feel so vast. How majestic must this master be.

After entering the cave, the stone monkey looked at Ye Xuantian above and slid to his knees to close the distance.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple. I have gone through countless hardships to return to your side. Please accept me."

"This spirit stone, nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, has been tainted with mundane auras in the past ten years. You have suffered so much over the years! Since you are here today, it is fate. From now on, you will become my disciple."

Ye Xuantian didn't feel that the stone monkey was flattering at all. He just felt that the monkey was working too hard. The fact that the spiritual creature born and raised by nature could be contaminated by vulgarity showed that the monkey was not living a good life.

The stone monkey looked up at Ye Xuantian, his eyes clear and sparkling. His nose felt slightly sour, and he vaguely felt that Ye Xuantian was destined to be his master. He had so many things he wanted to say, but when they came to his lips, only two words remained.

"Master!"

Bangni narrowed his eyes slightly. The master stripped off all the disguises of the stone monkey with just two words. How powerful.

The most crucial thing is that Bangni did not sense any fluctuation of magic power, which means that the master only relied on the power of words to knock on the heart door and see through the stone monkey completely.

"Come forward!"

"Master! Please give me a surname!"

The stone monkey took two steps at a time and came to Ye Xuantian's side. He half-knelt beside Ye Xuantian's legs, raised his head and looked at Ye Xuantian seriously.

"You are a stone monkey born and raised by nature. People call you a monkey. I'll give you a surname based on your body. The character � is removed from the animal part, which is Gu Yue. Gu means old, and Yue means yin. An old yin cannot give birth. Not good!"

"The character '狲' is quite good. It means 'son', 'zi' being a male child, 'xi' being a young child. It's just like the word 'baby'. It's very pure. You should take the surname 'Sun' from now on."

The stone monkey laughed immediately, and the smile was so bright that it seemed even more sincere.

"Master has been merciful today and has given me a surname. Please give me another name."

Ye Xuantian was silent. There was no problem with the surname, after all, it was the original surname given in "Journey to the West". But the name was not easy. There were twelve characters in the disciples of Bodhi Patriarch, and the one that fit the monkey head was the character "悟", and an additional character "空" was added.

But Ye Xuantian only has Bangni as his disciple so far, so there is no need to use twelve words.

He looked at the stone monkey and felt so distressed.

"You have been seeking immortality for more than ten years. You have traveled a lot and experienced a lot. I don't know how much suffering you have endured. I'm afraid that ordinary people would easily become possessed by demons, but you are empty when you leave and empty when you return. You are tenacious and can be considered a traveler."

"Now I only hope that you can complete your practice and realize that all things are empty. Then I'll call you Wukong!"

Ye Xuantian's hand fell down, and the stone monkey handed over his little head. Ye Xuantian gently rubbed his hair.

From today on, Sun Wukong will be his apprentice.

Immortals caress my head, knotting my hair and receiving immortality.

Ye Xuantian took responsibility for this cause and effect!
Almost at the same time as Ye Xuantian's palm fell, a wisp of Taoist energy appeared out of thin air in Ye Xuantian's dantian.

Merit!

The Western Journey Calamity is caused by the Heavenly Dao completing the cause and effect in the West. Its merits are immeasurable and will completely complete the Heavenly Dao. Those who promote the Western Journey Calamity will naturally gain merits.

The appearance of this wisp of Dao Yuan meant that Ye Xuantian had truly snatched this merit from Patriarch Bodhi. As the Dao Yuan condensed, Ye Xuantian clearly felt a sense of closeness from this world. If he could snatch all the calamities of the journey to the west, Ye Xuantian felt that he would definitely become a saint.

So, he will have to start making plans next. It is not an easy task to snatch merit from the hands of these powerful people.

"I have a name now! I have a name! Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong! From now on, I, Old Sun, will also have a master."

Wukong jumped around in the cave, feeling very happy.

From then on, he was no longer a monkey, he was Sun Wukong, the second disciple of Xuantian!

Ye Xuantian let Wukong be happy without stopping him.

There was a jade slip in his hand with two big words written on it: Ziwei!

With the mana surging in his palm, Ye Xuantian said, "Thank you, Great Emperor, for sealing the mountain!"

Ye Xuantian has survived from the chaos to the present, just for this catastrophe. The cause and effect that have been established over billions of years has come to this day. It is time for those immortals to pay back the cause and effect lines left behind when they were insignificant.

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. Let’s talk about the territory of Xiniu Hezhou and Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

There is a cave at the top of the mountain. On the cliff stands a stone tablet, about three meters high and eight feet wide, with ten big characters on it: Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

From afar, the tall pavilions and towers were dazzling with jewels and precious stones. On the high platform, a man was preaching the Dharma. He was really reciting wonderful Dharma with his eloquent words and talking about immortality.

Under the high platform, dozens of disciples listened attentively.

As the last word fell, all the disciples fell into enlightenment.

On the high platform, Patriarch Bodhi's eyes were full of confusion.

"I've been waiting here for so many years, but I haven't seen the stone monkey. Why has the merit from this cause and effect dissipated? I can't even sense it at all!"

Patriarch Bodhi stood up, and a lotus formed under his feet.

"What on earth happened in Huaguo Mountain? How could such a great disciple of mine be gone? If I hadn't gained this merit, how would I have been able to unlock my true form in the future?"

The anger in Patriarch Bodhi's eyes grew stronger, and his magical power surged around him. He decided to go to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to take a look. The next second, he had left the cave and was above the West Sea. There were faint signs that the void was being torn apart.

Is Patriarch Bodhi planning to cross the West Sea instantly?
Almost at the same time, a person in purple appeared in the eyes of Patriarch Bodhi, surrounded by purple air, exuding an air of nobility.

As the man in purple appeared, the stars in the sky twinkled wildly in the daytime. Chains of magic power formed in the starlight and connected to each other, forming a huge net that fell on the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

The coverage of the formation allowed the space under Patriarch Bodhi's feet to begin to repair and gradually return to peace.

"Emperor Ziwei, what are you doing?"

"In compliance with the Jade Emperor Haotian's order, we are training our troops and closing the mountain from today!" Ziwei Emperor said with a smile.

"The Purple Star Emperor is training his troops and sealing off my Lingtai Fangcun Mountain? Isn't that too disrespectful of the two saints of the West?"

"Oh? Your clone, Master Zhunti, is free to go wherever you want. I'm sealing the mountain, but I won't interfere with your going out!"

"Emperor Ziwei, you are forcing me to take action!"

[Special note: To fit the plot, after the Conferred God Tribulation ends, Yuanshi Tianzun, except for those above the Nine Heavens, maintains absolute saintly strength.]

[All other saints have merged with the Dao in Heaven, leaving only their clones in the Three Realms. Laozi's clone is Taishang Laojun, Zhunti's clone is Bodhi Patriarch, and Jieyin's clone is Wuchao Zen Master!]
