Chapter 174 My Dragon Palace Has Been Raided Bald by Monkeys!

Sun Wukong used his supernatural ability to shrink his body and plunge into the depths of the blue waves, heading towards the Dragon Palace.

Before long, a sea patrol yaksha appeared, holding a water-splitting halberd, blocking their path.

Seeing that he was surrounded by radiant light and possessed extraordinary supernatural powers, the sea patrol yaksha dared not be negligent in the slightest and respectfully asked:

"Who are you, sir?"

Sun Wukong, head held high and chest puffed out, said proudly in a loud voice:

"I am Sun Wukong, a born saint from Flower Fruit Mountain, and I live next to your Dragon King. How can you not recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, the sea patrol yaksha quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said:
"Please rest here for a moment, Your Highness. I will inform you immediately."

Having said that, the sea patrol yaksha turned around and hurriedly swam towards the Crystal Palace.

A short while later, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, led his dragon sons and grandsons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and personally went out to greet them in a grand procession.

Although Sun Wukong was a monkey, he moved freely in the water, demonstrating truly extraordinary supernatural abilities.

Ao Guang was secretly amazed, and dared not underestimate him in the slightest. He quickly put on a smile and stepped forward to greet him.

"I was unaware of your arrival, Your Excellency. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

Having said that, Ao Guang personally led the way and invited Sun Wukong into the palace.

The group arrived at the Dragon Palace's main hall. Ao Guang invited Sun Wukong to take a seat and offered him tea before asking:

"Your Excellency possesses extraordinary grace and great supernatural powers. May I ask when you attained enlightenment and who your master is?"

Sun Wukong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied, "I am a disciple of the Fengling Yueying Sect. Thanks to the teachings of my master, I have learned countless supernatural powers and techniques. Recently, I have been teaching my children and grandchildren in the mountains, but I lack a suitable weapon."

"I have long heard that you, my esteemed neighbor, possess many precious artifacts in this magnificent palace. Therefore, I have come to pay you a visit and would like to ask you for a favor. I hope you will be generous in giving me the money."

After saying that, Sun Wukong looked at Ao Guang with piercing eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was greatly surprised.

He had reigned as king of the East Sea for a long time, through countless years, yet he had never heard of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.

I wonder if it belongs to Taoism or Buddhism, or to the Taiyi Sanshu sect, or which school it is.
But seeing that Sun Wukong possessed extraordinary supernatural powers, how could he dare to be disrespectful and refuse?

At that moment, Ao Guang ordered the Guidu Commander to take out a large sword and respectfully present it to him.

Sun Wukong glanced at the knife, shook his head and said, "If you're not used to this knife, my dear neighbor, you should get another one."

Seeing this, Ao Guang ordered Captain Ba to lead the eel warriors to bring out a nine-pronged fork.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong leaped down and took the nine-pronged fork.

He turned and wielded the fork with a cold, gleaming light, causing waves to surge into the air.

After using all his moves, Sun Wukong threw the nine-pronged fork to the ground and frowned, saying:

"It's far too light, Old Dragon King. Please bestow upon me another one."

Upon seeing this, Ao Guang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Immortal, take a closer look. This fork weighs three thousand six hundred catties. Ordinary people can't even lift it, let alone use it."

Sun Wukong simply shook his head: "Useless, let's get another one!"

Ao Guang was filled with apprehension and pondered to himself.

This monkey has incredible strength; these weapons don't even catch his eye.

Left with no other choice, Ao Guang ordered Admiral Tui and General Li to bring out a painted halberd.

This halberd weighs a full 7,200 jin (approximately 3,600 kg), making it the heaviest piece in the Dragon Palace's treasury.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly ran forward, took the halberd, and unleashed several halberd techniques, wielding it with great power and awe-inspiring presence.

A moment later, Sun Wukong planted the halberd in the ground, shook his head and sighed, "It's still too light!"

Upon seeing this, Ao Guang broke out in a cold sweat, his heart filled with terror. Could this be someone who had come to cause trouble?

He hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "My lord, you are wise. In my Dragon Palace, this halberd is truly the heaviest weapon. There are no other weapons."

Sun Wukong looked at Ao Guang and laughed, "The old Dragon King possesses treasures from all over the world, how could he not produce a suitable weapon?"

"Are you trying to fool me?"

"Go and search carefully again. If you find one that suits my taste, I will offer a good price."

Ao Guang looked distressed and hurriedly said, "What you say is true. There are really no other weapons."

Seeing that Ao Guang's demeanor didn't seem feigned, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. He then thought to Roger in his heart:
"Old monkey, it seems the Dragon King doesn't have any particularly good treasures to offer."

Roger laughed and said, "You don't know that the Dragon Palace has a piece of divine iron left behind by Yu the Great when he was controlling the floods. It is called the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), which can change size at will."

"If you can retrieve it, it will be very convenient."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed upon hearing this, but feigned anger and said, "You old dragon, don't try to hide it from me!"

"I, Old Sun, have come here sincerely seeking treasure, yet you try to fool me with these pieces of broken copper and scrap iron. Could it be that you have hidden the real treasure away?"

"What, do you think I, Old Sun, am easy to bully?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was greatly alarmed and said in fear, "Immortal, please calm down! How could I dare to deceive you? I simply do not know what kind of divine weapon you desire. I hope you will enlighten me."

Seeing this, Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows slightly and said loudly, "I heard that in your Dragon Palace, there is a Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) that can be long or short, big or small, and its transformations are endless."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang looked puzzled. After a moment of contemplation, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Is what the immortal is referring to the measuring rod used by Yu the Great to determine the depth of rivers and seas when he was controlling the floods?"

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "This is it! Quickly, bring it to me so I can have a look."

Ao Guang looked troubled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Immortal, you may not know, but that thing is really heavy and no one can lift it. You must go and see it for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately shouted, "Quickly lead me there!"

Ao Guang dared not be negligent and got up to lead the way.

After traveling for a short while, they saw countless rays of light and auspicious clouds ahead.

Ao Guang raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Immortal, the place that is shining is what you seek."

Sun Wukong strode forward, touched it, and found it to be an iron pillar.

He muttered a few words to himself, and the pillar shrank continuously until it was about two zhang long.

There were golden hoops at both ends and a section of black iron in the middle. Right next to the hoops, there was a line of text engraved.

Indeed, it is the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).

Sun Wukong held the golden cudgel in his hand and felt that it was just the right weight, as if it were an extension of his arm, and it was extremely comfortable to use.

Overjoyed, he began practicing martial arts.

In an instant, the iron rod stirred the seawater like boiling water, causing the Dragon Palace to tremble violently and the beams and pillars to shake.

Upon seeing this, Ao Guang was terrified, his face turning deathly pale. His dragon sons and grandsons, as well as his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, trembled with fear, their faces ashen.

Sun Wukong seemed not to hear, and continued to dance to his heart's content, causing chaos in the underwater palace before finally stopping with his staff.

He leaped onto the crystal palace and sat cross-legged on the eaves.

He laughed at Roger, "Old monkey, this staff is truly a rare treasure, full of wondrous abilities!"

Roger laughed and said, "We can ask the Dragon King for more armor and complete our gear, and also ask your children for some weapons to train them to be strong and healthy."

Sun Wukong slapped his forehead and said repeatedly, "Absolutely right, absolutely right! I almost forgot about that."
