Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

So Sun Wukong forcefully poured wine into Pigsy's mouth, making the old pig drunk. He remained drunk in heaven for several days and nights until Sun Wukong died, and the fool never woke up.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy finally realized that the person in front of him was indeed his senior brother.

"Alright, you stable boy, I knew you wouldn't die so easily. You've finally returned. All those people from the Heavenly Mandate who searched everywhere for your Six Roots ended up with their own deaths. You've really ruined those monkeys and their offspring," Pigsy said.

"I really did cause my monkey offspring a lot of trouble, but sometimes I had no choice. Besides, I was really dead at the time, with only a wisp of my soul left. I originally had no chance to come back to life."

But due to some unexpected events, I, Old Sun, have come back to life. Now that I've been reborn, I must shoulder my responsibilities. Sun Wukong sighed deeply and said.

This was all due to his luck; if he hadn't encountered the Great God Wutian, the Ancestral Dragon, he wouldn't have survived.

“I see, Brother Monkey. I’ve also come here to help you collect the root system. Over the years, I, Pigsy, have come to my senses. I’m not going to be the Clean Altar Messenger anymore. Wherever you go, Brother Monkey, I’ll go.” Pigsy said.

Why did he only begin collecting Sun Wukong's spiritual energy now, after hundreds of years? It's because he finally understood.

When he was Marshal Tang Tianpeng in heaven, he was afraid of this and that, which resulted in him being banished to the mortal world after discovering an affair.

The same thing happened when they arrived at Gao Village, and it was the same when they arrived at Pansiling. When the eldest brother died, he was drunk and missed the event.

For hundreds of years, he had considered his life a failure, so he decided to give it his all, even if it meant death.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good, you idiot, I knew you were the only one on the Journey to the West who was wise in disguise, and everyone else was a fool, including me."

"Since that's the case, then from now on I'll follow my eldest brother. To hell with Buddhism, to hell with Mount Ling, to hell with Heaven!" Sun Wukong said with a loud laugh.

I used to be all alone, but now I have friends, especially a figure of the level of Zu Long.

“Brother Monkey, I see you only have three root skills now. Let’s find the other three. The last one is in Flower Fruit Mountain.”

"Once all six root weapons are retrieved, your strength will be restored. At that time, you can go anywhere in the world," Pigsy said.

After helping his senior brother regain his original energy, he and his senior brother found a place to hide away, no longer wanting to suffer the wrath of Mount Ling and the Buddhist sect.

"Hahaha! Pigsy, your vision is still too narrow and limited. I, Old Sun, am not planning to just live in seclusion in the mountains after my resurrection. I'm going to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace again!" Sun Wukong said with high spirits as he slung his iron rod over his shoulder.

"You wretched monkey, have you gone mad? We've finally been resurrected, so let's just hide quietly and not cause any trouble."

"The Heavenly Court and Mount Ling won't care about us, but if you cause any more trouble, we'll be surrounded and wiped out again. You've already survived, do you want to die again?" Pigsy said anxiously.

You damned monkey, why are you still thinking about revenge? Still plotting against heaven?

If this act of defying Heaven could succeed, then your Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan succeeded back then, and you succeeded in causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then.

“Bajie, this time the situation is different. This time we have a master to help us, and we will definitely succeed.” After saying that, Sun Wukong pointed to Luo De standing next to him.

"This, this esteemed master, I have yet to ask your name! May I ask your honorable name?"

Pigsy looked at Rod, straightened his clothes, took his rake in his hand, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Rod, and asked.

Monkeys have very high standards, and ordinary people can't convince them. This person can convince a monkey, which means that their strength is definitely extraordinary!

It might even be someone of the highest rank, like Buddha, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother of the West, or a supreme being. Why hasn't he heard of someone like me?

“Bajie, listen carefully. This is the Great God Wutian, the Ancestral Dragon. Even though you were imprisoned in that demonic creature, you should have been able to sense that soaring dragon aura, right?” Sun Wukong asked.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy looked at Rod with great surprise. Unlike the monkey, who grew up in the mountains and didn't know many experts except for some prominent figures in Heaven and Mount Ling, Pigsy knew quite a bit about these things.

This great god named Wu Tian was someone he had never heard of before, not even once, and he was even the Ancestral Dragon! Wasn't the Ancestral Dragon already dead?

In ancient times, the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix both died for some reason. Otherwise, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas wouldn't have fallen to this state, being bullied by you, a monkey.

However, on the surface, Pigsy still smiled very respectfully at Rhodes. No matter what Rhodes was like before, the monkey still had a keen eye.

If he says it's the Ancestral Dragon, then it must be the Ancestral Dragon. He's a person of great supernatural powers, someone who is ranked alongside the Jade Emperor and Buddha. Having such a person under one's protection would indeed make one much safer, and it wouldn't be impossible to succeed in rebelling against Heaven.

That Jade Emperor wasn't the first Heavenly Emperor.

“You didn’t look like this pig’s head before, did you? Come here, I’ll teach you how to turn back into your original form,” Rhodes said.

In Journey to the West, Marshal Tianpeng was a handsome man before he became the Marshal Tianpeng, commanding 100,000 naval soldiers in the Milky Way. It was a mid-to-high-level official position.

Moreover, by transforming Zhu Bajie back to his original form, he could also take the opportunity to unleash his inner power and obtain the Thirty-Six Transformations from him.

"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent! You fool, your good fortune has arrived! Come forward quickly."

"The Great God Wutian can turn you back to your original form. Didn't you say before that you were a handsome man back in Heaven?" Sun Wukong immediately pushed Zhu Bajie forward.

Rhodes transformed all the people of the Kingdom of Sihari back into humans; this magic would surely allow Bajie to also return to his original appearance.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy's mind went completely blank. He even stood before Rod somewhat dumbfounded, wondering if he could really turn back to his original form, back to his handsome appearance from his previous life.

Without wasting words, Rhodes came to Zhu Bajie and placed a hand on his forehead. His cosmos began to spin, divine power surged, enveloping Zhu Bajie's body, and he even used a trace of time divine power.

Pigsy's situation is different from that of the people of Sihai Kingdom who were turned into rat demons. He was reincarnated, and his current appearance is actually his true form. The only way to change this is through the laws of time.

A grayish-white light enveloped Zhu Bajie's pig demon body. After a moment, the light dissipated, and a handsome young man, over eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, appeared before everyone.

Rod nodded in satisfaction. He had successfully obtained the complete Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang from Zhu Bajie's mind, and even a cultivation technique called the Supreme Dao Technique, which was in no way inferior to Sun Wukong's Great Celestial Immortal Technique.

This Supreme Daoist Manual should be the cultivation method of the Supreme Lord Laozi. Sure enough, Pigsy has a connection with the Supreme Lord Laozi. Even if he is not an initiating disciple, he is still a nominal one.

"You silly boy, you are indeed handsome, not bad, not bad." Sun Wukong smiled, plucked a hair from his head, and conjured a bronze mirror, which he handed to Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy's body trembled slightly. His hands were no longer pig hooves, but human hands. He tremblingly took the bronze mirror and saw his appearance from hundreds of years ago in it: the appearance of Marshal Tianpeng.

"I'm back, monkey! I'm back, hahaha! I, Marshal Tianpeng, am back! I, Marshal Tianpeng, am back!" After looking in the bronze mirror, Pigsy excitedly threw the mirror on the ground, looked up to the sky and roared, venting his dissatisfaction.

For so many years, who can understand the suffering of Zhu Bajie? For so many years, who can understand? From the incomparably handsome Marshal Tianpeng to an ugly pig demon, ridiculed by his colleagues in Heaven and mocked by the white-clad fairy Chang'e whom he once loved, who can understand his suffering?

Finally, finally, he returned to his original appearance, finally, he was back to normal. Pigsy could clearly feel that this was not some kind of transformation technique, but a complete reversal of the cycle of reincarnation, turning him back into his previous life.

Various great magical powers. As far as he knew, only a few powerful beings, such as the Buddha of the Western Paradise, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, and Laozi of the Thirty-Three Heavens, could achieve this.

This is truly a stroke of good fortune!

Just as everyone was rejoicing, a strange dragonman, carrying a long sword and standing over three zhang tall, appeared in front of Rhodes. Upon seeing Rhodes, he immediately planted his long sword in the ground and knelt on one knee.

"The Green-Backed Dragon pays respects to the Ancestral Dragon. May the Ancestral Dragon be well."

"You, you are the son of the Jing River Dragon King? How many brothers do you have? I, Old Sun, have heard of that wicked beast back then; he caused me a lot of trouble." Sun Wukong looked at the dragon prince in front of him and said.

As the saying goes, the dragon has nine sons, and each one is different.

The Jinghe Dragon King was just a river dragon, and the dragon descendants he gave birth to did not have the purest dragon form; they could only maintain the appearance of a half-dragon.

"Great God Wutian, they are now called the Four Dragon Gods. I remember, the four brothers have all gone into hiding, and the people of Heaven have been hunting them down." Pigsy said, carrying his rake on his back.

The sons of the Jinghe Dragon King are also in a bad situation, but if they can follow the Ancestral Dragon, it would not be a bad thing. The sons of the Jinghe Dragon King are all quite powerful.

"Go and gather all your brothers here. They can all serve under me from now on," Rhodes said with a smile.

With Kang Jinlong, taking in a few more dragon gods wouldn't be a problem, and even the dragons from all over the world could be taken in at the same time.

"Thank you for taking me in, Zulong. I have three brothers, but my eldest brother, Xiao Huanglong, is missing."

"My other two brothers are in Black Wind Mountain and Yellow Wind Ridge. Little Dragon will set off now and bring them all back." Green-backed Dragon nodded and said.

“Hmm! This is one of my scales. Keep it. It contains my dragon power. Go find your two younger brothers first. After you find them, take them to the Spider Cave. That's where we'll be going next. You can meet us there!” Rhodes nodded and said.

At the same time, he tore off a small piece of scale from his body, turning it into a palm-sized, blue scale, and handed it to the Blue-backed Dragon.

Since they are scales that came from its own body, they possess a supreme dragon aura.

The moment the Azure-Backed Dragon held it in its hands, it felt a surge of dragon power; it was indeed a treasure!

Considering the size of the ancestral dragon's body, this scale is shrunk. If it were returned to its original size, it would probably be several people in size.

Whether forging weapons or crafting armor, these are top-quality materials. However, the Azure-Backed Dragon dares not use the scales of the Ancestral Dragon to do so, as they are a token to him.

"Don't worry, Ancestral Dragon, I will definitely find my two younger brothers and then we will search for our eldest brother together. I believe that after learning of Ancestral Dragon's accident, our eldest brother will definitely come to seek protection," said the Azure-Backed Dragon.

The fortune teller Yuan Shoucheng once said that the four brothers would all die in the end, at the hands of a chosen one, but now it seems that the old Taoist was indeed wrong.

Rhodes nodded and let the Blueback Dragon leave.

"Great God Wutian, I, Old Sun, am going to the Little Thunderclap Temple to settle a score with that Yellow-Eyebrowed Demon." Sun Wukong approached Luo De, clasped his hands in a fist and said.

The cause and effect between him and the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha can be traced back to the Journey to the West. After he became a Buddha, he was besieged by him again, and his six innate abilities of smell, taste, and love were also exploited by him.

These things, one by one, cannot be left unresolved; we must get them back no matter what!

"You're planning to go by yourself, right?"

“Great God Wutian, I, Old Sun, will avenge this myself,” Sun Wukong nodded and said.

"Brother Monkey! You can leave the others out of the way, but you have to take me with you. I have a grudge against Yellow Eyebrows, so let's join forces and smash that second brother to pieces," Pigsy said.

Last time, Maitreya Buddha's golden gong imprisoned the eldest disciple, and this time it imprisoned himself, so he also had to face the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha together with the eldest disciple.

“In that case, you can go! Come see me after you kill Yellow Eyebrows.” Rhodes nodded and agreed to Sun Wukong’s request.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's face lit up with joy. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Luo De, held his iron cudgel, and turned to leave with Zhu Bajie.

Kang Jinlong, who was standing next to Luo De, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back. She wanted to go with Sun Wukong, but how could she bring it up?

After Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie left, Luo De came to a Buddha statue. It was a chubby baby who was several feet tall and looked three or four years old. He had a smiling face and a bare belly.

"You've been eavesdropping here for so long, aren't you going to come out and meet me?" Rhodes said.

Upon hearing Rod's words, the small Buddha statue sitting in front of him suddenly shattered, and a chubby baby wearing a gray monk's robe walked out from it.

“Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, where do you come from? This humble monk has never heard of you before,” Maitreya Buddha asked, looking at the Ancestral Dragon before him.

This is truly strange. When did such a powerful being with such magical abilities appear in the Three Realms? How come he has never heard of such a person before?

The existence of such a law must be due to someone who is not an unknown figure!

Chapter 423 Maitreya Buddha, the Throne of the Underworld Emperor

“Who did I think it was? It’s the Future Buddha,” Rhodes said.

Looking at the chubby little boy in front of him, and his cheerful smile, Rod knew without a second thought who he was. However, unlike the Maitreya Buddha in some movies and TV shows, this Maitreya Buddha appeared as a child.

This chubby-headed baby does look rather simple and cute, but Rod doesn't underestimate this chubby-headed baby at all. After all, the other party is one of the three Buddhas of Buddhism, the future Buddha. He can easily make Sun Wukong suffer with just a few magic weapons.

The other party was sizing him up, while Rhodes was also sizing up Maitreya Buddha. The power of divine cosmos combined with Observation Haki spread out without anyone noticing.

He began to investigate the power of this Maitreya Buddha. He had not learned any martial arts techniques from the Journey to the West world, but Rhodes could detect the energy level within the other party's body.

In terms of internal energy, this Maitreya Buddha is about the same strength as me, or even slightly weaker. But if it's enhanced by his cosmos, Rhodes is confident he can beat him up.

The two have similar magical power, but Rhodes has a more efficient cosmos, so theoretically he is stronger. However, Rhodes did not underestimate Maitreya Buddha because of this. Who knows what magical things the Eastern fantasy system has?

"How strange! I should know a little about everything in this world, but you are the only one I have never seen before. You are not that ancestral dragon."

I watched that ancestral dragon die with my own eyes.
