Chapter 176 The Monkey King Takes Control of Flower Fruit Mountain, Seven Demons Gather and Claim the Title of Great Sage

On this day, Sun Wukong was studying supernatural powers in the Water Curtain Cave, and was using the Pot Heaven Technique, one of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Techniques.

He was seen chanting incantations and making hand seals. The space in front of him twisted and opened up a dark, deep space.

Roger observed carefully and realized that Sun Wukong's "Pot Heaven" technique had only created an ordinary space.

Although it can hold objects, it has not yet unleashed the true power of this technique.

A thought struck him, and he decided to offer some pointers to prevent him from repeating the same mistake and being easily suppressed by the Buddha.

Roger then said, "Little monkey, your supernatural powers are still in their infancy."

Sun Wukong, looking unconvinced, boasted, "Old monkey, could it be that you're blind?"

"Look closely, my old Sun's supernatural power can hold 100,000 swords, spears, and halberds, so why is it not powerful enough?"

Roger chuckled and said, "You're like a frog in a well, with limited knowledge."

"Have you ever heard of the name of the Venerable Shakyamuni Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple on Vulture Peak in the Saha World of India, Xiniu Hezhou?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are you talking about the Buddha Tathagata of the Western Paradise?"

Roger nodded and smiled, "That's the man."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Back when I was discussing the Dao with Patriarch Bodhi on Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, I did hear about this monk's reputation."

"I just wonder what methods he has?"

Roger's expression turned serious, and he solemnly said, "The Buddha Tathagata has a divine power called 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of the Hand,' which can contain all three thousand Buddhas, five hundred Arhats, eight Vajras, and countless Bodhisattvas of Mount Ling within one palm."

"If you are not careful and fall into his hands, even with that somersault cloud, you will probably not be able to escape."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's expression turned serious. He scratched his ears and cheeks, pacing back and forth.

After a long while, he finally stopped and said, "If that's the case, then I, Old Sun, will also cultivate a divine power that allows me to control the world within my grasp."

"If I ever encounter the Buddha, I will use my palm-sized world to compete with his palm-sized Buddha Kingdom."

"Let's see whose supernatural powers are superior!"

Seeing Sun Wukong's determination, Roger smiled with satisfaction and said, "Why don't you hurry up and start cultivating?"

"Don't waste this precious time."

Sun Wukong nodded emphatically, raised his monkey paw, and began to study and ponder.

……

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the world changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.

Beneath Flower Fruit Mountain, the sea surged and towering waves rose like boiling water.

A golden monkey paw bursts out of the water.

The monkey's paws covered the sky and blocked out the sun; the lines on its paws resembled the veins of mountains and rivers, and the hairs were like rows of iron halberds.

In the blink of an eye, the monkey's paw steadily supported the entire Flower and Fruit Mountain.

Supported by it, Huaguo Mountain slowly rose from the ground and soared straight into the sky.

In an instant, the earth shook and the universe trembled.

Birds in the mountains scattered in panic, and aquatic creatures in the sea trembled in fear.

Upon seeing this, the demon kings of each cave prostrated themselves and kowtowed.

Upon seeing this extraordinary sight, Roger couldn't help but beam with delight: "This monkey is truly a gift from heaven; its innate talent is truly terrifying."

"In just six months, he was able to create this supernatural power on his own."

Sun Wukong laughed loudly, "It's done! It's done!"

After saying this, with a thought, the monkey's paw that was supporting Flower Fruit Mountain slowly shrank and eventually disappeared.

Flower and Fruit Mountain also landed steadily back in its original position.

Before long, all seventy-two demon kings from the caves came to pay homage, and the six brothers also came to offer their congratulations.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, lanterns and decorations were hung, and drums and music filled the air, creating a lively scene.

The demons sat in a circle, toasting and exchanging drinks.

The Bull Demon King picked up a bowl of fine wine, stood up, and shouted loudly, "Brother, your supernatural powers are truly astonishing and awe-inspiring!"

“I have lived in Xiniu Hezhou for a long time and have seen many great beings, but few have such supernatural powers. It is a pity that you, my good brother, are only a demon in the mortal world with such heaven-reaching abilities.” Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, “Good brother, you do not know, I, Old Sun, also have the idea of ​​going to heaven to become an official.”

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "In that case, why don't you go to Heaven and ask for an official position?"

"With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you to obtain a position in the Heavenly Court."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "If I, Old Sun, were to personally go to Heaven to ask for an official position, I'm afraid that old Jade Emperor is blind and doesn't recognize my abilities."

"They might send me to be a nobody official, which would be incredibly boring."

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King said, "What you say is absolutely right, my brother."

"If we only get a minor, insignificant official position, we'd rather be mountain kings in this mortal realm, drinking and making merry!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Sun Wukong also picked up a bowl of fine wine, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the bowl down and laughed loudly:

As the saying goes, "If you work hard, you will hardly get promoted; but if you rebel and are granted amnesty, you will rise to the top."

"I, Old Sun, am now in the mortal realm, causing chaos and upheaval. Sooner or later, the Jade Emperor will find out and invite me to Heaven to become a high-ranking official."

Upon hearing this, the demons cheered loudly, praising in unison, "Your Majesty's plan is brilliant! Such methods are truly a model for us all."

At this moment, the Flood Dragon King rose from his seat, raised his cup in a toast, and said, "I have heard that the Jade Emperor's nephew, Yang Erlang, is highly skilled. He has lived in Guanjiang Estuary for a long time, obeying orders but not summons, living a carefree and happy life."

“My brother is far more capable than this boy, and he deserves such treatment.”

"As for us..."

After a brief pause, the Demon King of the Flood Dragon said, "I remember that Yang Erlang was accompanied by the six brothers of Meishan."

“If my brother achieves great success and attains enlightenment in the future, we brothers are willing to follow the example of the six brothers of Meishan and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.”

Sun Wukong laughed heartily: "Easy, easy."

"If I, Old Sun, can enter the celestial register and obtain an official position, I will naturally not forget my brothers."

"At that time, we will be in the Heavenly Court, and we will definitely accomplish great things."

Upon hearing this, the demons cheered again, raised their cups, and drank heartily in celebration.

Roger's voice rang out: "Little monkey, although you have gained some influence now, your name is not resounding enough; you are merely the Monkey King."

Sun Wukong's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Old monkey, why don't you give me a resounding name?"

Roger chuckled: "That Yang Erlang is known as the Manifested Sage True Lord. In my opinion, you should be called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, what do you say?"

Sun Wukong clapped his hands and exclaimed with delight, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"This Monkey King is exactly what I want."

He then told his six brothers about it.

The Bull Demon King shouted, "Brother, you are right!"

"In that case, I will become the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven."

The Demon King of the Flood Dragon responded, "I am called the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas."

The other four demon kings also called themselves Great Sages.

For a time, the crowd inside the cave was in high spirits, cheering and applauding. Before long, everyone was drunk, staggering and swaying.

Suddenly, a cold wind arose out of nowhere.

The wind came strangely, sweeping in eerily and causing the lights inside the cave to flicker, sounding like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Two blue-faced, fanged underworld officials, holding black iron chains, gracefully stepped into the cave.

One of the underworld messengers held a yellow paper document, and upon closer inspection, the three large characters "Sun Wukong" were clearly written on it.

The two underworld messengers entered the cave without saying a word and rushed straight at Sun Wukong.

Upon reaching him, without a word, he threw out the iron chain in his hand, intending to take away his soul.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong possessed a magical power that emitted light, which was infinitely mysterious. His body was protected by spiritual light, making him impervious to all magic and preventing any evil from approaching.

The moment the iron chain touched the spiritual light, it was as if it had been thrown into a furnace; with a sizzle, it melted and broke.

When the two underworld messengers were illuminated by the spiritual light, they were like snowflakes meeting the blazing sun, instantly dissolving and melting away, their souls also disintegrating.

Only two wisps of soul remained, drifting aimlessly in the air.
