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

"Brother Monkey, why are you wasting your breath talking to this old man? This newly established Little Thunderclap Temple has harmed countless people."

"My good friend, the Snake General, one of the two generals, the Turtle and the Snake, died at the hands of this old man with yellow eyebrows. The Turtle General has been sealed here for hundreds of years. I, Pigsy, must avenge my friend!" Pigsy showed no mercy to the old man with yellow eyebrows. At this moment, he transformed back into Marshal Tianpeng.

His body and magical power have both returned to their peak state, so he is very good at fighting. In fact, he is even stronger than Sun Wukong now, since Sun Wukong has only retrieved three root weapons.

"Damn it, damn it, who stole my Acquired Human Seed Bag?"

“That’s not yours, it belongs to Maitreya Buddha. Do you really think your master doesn’t know what you’ve been doing? He hasn’t come back to ask you for the Acquired Human Seed Bag for hundreds of years, and you really think it’s your own magic weapon.”

This guy is too arrogant! Does he really think this magic weapon is his own? It belongs to your master, Maitreya Buddha. Back on the journey to the West, Maitreya Buddha deliberately made you steal it.

Back then, it was Buddhism's idea to deal with me, Old Sun. Even the reason you can cultivate peacefully here is because of Maitreya Buddha's permission.

Now that the Great God Wutian has decided to deal with you, Maitreya Buddha will definitely take away the Acquired Human Seed Bag. Do you really think you can possess Maitreya Buddha's magic treasure? He is one of the most powerful beings in the Three Realms.

If he can't even protect his own Dharma treasures, then what kind of future Buddha is he in Buddhism?

"You monkey! I don't need you to teach me how to die. Come and see my Golden Body Technique!" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha roared, his body rapidly turning golden, becoming impervious to swords, spears, water, and fire.

"Heh! You call this the Golden Body Technique? I think 'Gilding Technique' would be more appropriate. It's only slightly more advanced than that tiger demon's copper head and iron bones." Sun Wukong sneered and mocked.

Compared to the golden body techniques displayed by the Bodhisattvas and the Buddhas of Mount Ling, this old man with yellow eyebrows' golden body technique was utterly inferior.

"Senior brother, let's break his gilding technique together!" Pigsy shouted, brandishing his nine-toothed rake with great force, and smashed it directly at the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha.

Sun Wukong also swung his iron cudgel and struck the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha's leg hard, while Zhu Bajie's rake struck his back.

The two brothers each struck the other, forcing him to kneel down. Sun Wukong then stomped hard on the face of the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha.

"Wait for me! How could I lose? I am Buddha, I am the future Buddha!" ​​The Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha clearly couldn't accept his defeat, even after being beaten to the ground by Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie. He uttered these muttered curses.

How could I have failed? Why did I fail? After leaving Mount Ling and his master, he thought that from then on, he could fly freely in the sky and swim freely in the sea.

Unexpectedly, after only a few hundred years of carefree living, he met such an end.

"You are indeed a madman. You are a madman, and the disciples you have taught are also a bunch of madmen. Look at this Little Thunderclap Temple. There is not a single normal cultivator here. They are all just a bunch of demons and monsters!"

"Don't worry, I, Old Sun, have already helped them pass on to the afterlife." Sun Wukong said, looking at Huang Mei, who was lying on the ground and had become insane.

"Master, Master, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Save me! Save me!" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha suddenly began to shout loudly towards the west.

"Since you can't beat them this time, you've called for reinforcements. You've done so many evil deeds, Maitreya Buddha won't care about you," Pigsy said, carrying his rake.

Since the Great God Wutian wants you dead, then the Great God Wutian will naturally take action on Maitreya Buddha's side. They have done this many times on the journey to the West, and those monsters without background or backing have all been killed by them in this way.

"Master, please save your disciple! I promise to follow you and cultivate diligently on Mount Ling from now on. I will never dare to have any evil thoughts again. Please forgive me this once!" The Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha shouted loudly, still disregarding everything else. He hoped that Maitreya Buddha would appear and that his master would appear to save him once more.

But he could no longer hear his master's voice, nor could he ever see his laughing master again.

"Hahaha! How laughable and pathetic! In the end, it's all for nothing! I, Old Sun, will see you off on your final journey, Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha." Sun Wukong snorted coldly, wielding his iron cudgel and striking at the head of Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha.

With a crack, the Yellow-Eyebrowed Buddha's spirit shattered, his head exploded like a watermelon, and wisps of his soul floated out, which were directly drawn to him by Rhodes using his Devil Fruit power.

He also obtained the most authentic cultivation method from Mount Ling.

"Brother Monkey! If we kill this old monster, won't Maitreya Buddha blame us?" Looking at Maitreya Buddha, whose brains had been smashed open, Pigsy asked with lingering fear.

"You fool, you're always so afraid of everything. What's there to be afraid of? I, your senior brother, can handle anything. That old man with yellow eyebrows died at my hands." Sun Wukong slung his steel rod over his shoulder and snorted coldly.

"What am I afraid of? I'm just worried, but I think with the Great God Wutian backing me up, I should be fine," Pigsy stammered.

Now they can only hope that the Great God Wutian really has the prestige to keep Maitreya Buddha in check, since he is the first person they have killed with an extremely powerful background and backing.

"The fact that we were able to kill him means that his master no longer wants to care about him, so you can rest assured about that." Sun Wukong smiled, patted Zhu Bajie on the shoulder, and then grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear and twisted it hard.

"Ouch, Senior Brother, what are you doing? It hurts! Stop pulling! Stop pulling my old pig's ear! I can't take your abuse right now!" Pigsy hurriedly said.

"Hmph, now you know it hurts. You idiot, after you turned back into your original form, your ears are indeed not as big as before, and they don't feel as good to hold in your hand. Why don't you turn back into your original pig form? I, Old Sun, think that filthy look suits you better."

"You monkey, I, Old Pig, risked my life to save you, and instead of thanking me, you make all sorts of jokes at me. I should have just let you, you wretched monkey, die out there instead of bothering you," Pigsy said.

"Hahaha! You're the best, you idiot. Let's go see the Great God Wutian. This time, the task he assigned us has finally been completed."

The two nodded to each other, left the main hall of Leiyin Temple where Huang Mei was, and turned back to where Rhodes and the others were.

"Great Sage, Great Sage Grandpa, and Marshal Tianpeng, you're back! You don't know, I just saw some big shots, Maitreya Buddha!" ​​As soon as the two appeared, Ma Tianba approached them and said.

"Maitreya Buddha has appeared. What did he say?"

“What else can I say? After chatting with the Great God Wutian for a while, I’ll tell you that the Great God Wutian is the second Ancestral Dragon in this world, and also the true ruler of the Underworld, the King of the Underworld,” Ma Tianba said.

To be honest, he didn't know what the title "Emperor of the Underworld" represented, because the title had never appeared before, although there was a "Grand Yin Star Lord" in heaven.

The true rulers of the underworld should be the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha of Buddhism.

It's just that Maitreya Buddha mentioned the King of the Underworld, and the King of the Underworld seems to have a very high status, so he said it out loud.

"What is the King of the Underworld? I, Old Sun, have heard of the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Kings of Hell, and I have also heard of the Taiyin Star Lord in the heavens, but I have never heard of the King of the Underworld."

"You idiot, you used to be Marshal Tianpeng, you know a lot, have you ever heard of that title?" Sun Wukong turned to look at Zhu Bajie and asked.

"Brother Monkey, I've never heard of this Underworld Emperor before!" Pigsy carefully searched his memory.

However, no records related to it were found. The only one that seems to be similar is Taiyin Xingjun.

Clearly, apart from the most powerful beings in the world, no one else knows the title "Emperor of the Underworld," because this title can refer to the Underworld Emperor, the ruler of the underworld kingdom, and the controller of the laws of death.

"Great God Wutian, what does this Yin Tianzi mean?" Sun Wukong turned to look at Luo De and asked.

Asking questions when you don't understand is one of the advantages of monkeys; it makes them much better than those who pretend to know what they don't.

"The King of the Underworld is the controller of death, the possessor of the divine power of death, the ruler of all the dead under heaven, and the master of the death of all things in heaven and earth." Rhodes briefly introduced his identity to Sun Wukong.

Upon hearing this, the monkey's eyes lit up. The controller of death, who controls the death of all things under heaven—that's good, that's good!

The gods of Heaven, the Three Realms and the Six Paths, are now in such a chaotic state, isn't it all because of that one phrase, "immortality"? How many people have been harmed by that one phrase, how many lives have been lost!

Pigsy, standing to the side, immediately understood just how noble this status was, but now, Buddhism and Heaven had completely taken control of the Underworld.

If this person wants to reclaim the underworld, a major battle is likely inevitable.

It seems that Monkey King is determined to work with him. Sigh, in the end, are we just going to be pawns in someone else's game?

There's no way around it, I'm too weak, I'll never be able to play chess!

"I see, Great God Wutian. I, Old Sun, have retrieved the third artifact. Next, I will go and retrieve the fourth one," Sun Wukong nodded and said.

"Great God Wutian, shouldn't we go to my master's Flaming Mountain now?" Ma Tianba asked from the side.

As long as this lord arrives at Flaming Mountain, the Little King will be unable to cause any trouble. Even if this lord doesn't go, if the Great Sage Sun goes now, the Old King will definitely return the Great Sage's things to him.

“Brother Monkey. Let’s not rush this. I’ve found out that Wushan is sending some gifts to the Pig Family Courtyard. Your sixth root weapon is hidden in the Spider Cave. Why don’t you come with me, Old Pig? We’ll go to Spider Ridge first, and then head to Yellow Flower Temple on Purple Cloud Mountain. What do you say?” Pigsy said.

If he didn't go see his old flame soon, the old lady would probably die soon. He had to go no matter what. Not for any other reason than to let him see Marshal Tianpeng one more time.

I used to be a pig, too ashamed to see him, too afraid to see him, and even more so, unable to see him.

But now that he has the support of the Great God Wutian, and with his original form restored, Pigsy's courage immediately surged.

"Why don't you, Old Pig, go to the Spider Cave by yourself? I'll escort you to the Flaming Mountains first," Sun Wukong said.

"Brother Monkey, are you joking? You have to come with me no matter what! Those spider demons are no match for me, Old Pig."

"But you know how powerful that Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is. Even you can't withstand his golden light and white eyes! Let alone me, Old Pig." Pigsy said.

“But I’m very worried about Brother Niu’s safety. I don’t know how he’s been all these years,” Sun Wukong said.

"Brother Monkey! I know a bit about the situation on the Bull Demon King's side. Although Red Boy wants what you left behind, he didn't kill his father. Brother Bull should be able to hold out for a while longer. Let's go to the Spider Cave first!"

"Moreover, Pan Silin has an old friend whom you harmed. We... we must persuade the Great God Wutian to save him," Pigsy said.

"Oh, so why do you keep wanting to go to the Spider Cave, you pig-headed fool? Turns out you wanted to see your old flame. Now that you've turned back into Marshal Tianpeng, you're going to show off a bit." Sun Wukong smiled and looked at Zhu Bajie with a mischievous grin.

“Brother Monkey, that’s one thing, but there are two other things, one of which is related to you. Your past life’s chosen one committed a lot of sins. You’ll know when you go to the Spider Cave.” Pigsy said with a wicked smile.

Of the old spider's daughters, only the sixth daughter was born to him; the other five were all born to his older sisters.

One of the maids, the fourth in line, was different from the other girls. Her hairstyle was that of a married rich woman, not the unmarried hairstyle of the other spider spirits.

There was once a monkey with a destiny, but he wandered into the Spider Cave for no reason and formed a tragic relationship. In the end, he died, ending everything, but he left the blame to his senior brother!

"What does this have to do with me, Pigsy? Explain yourself clearly," Sun Wukong said, squinting his eyes.

"Hehe! You'll find out when you get there, but the most important thing is still the Dark Moon Demon Lord. He's a pitiful person because he helped you, Senior Brother, back then."

"He suffered greatly, becoming neither human nor ghost. If possible, Monkey, you must beg the Great God Wutian to save him." Pigsy sighed and said.

Those damned gods, those damned Western Kunlun, for their own benefit, they even harmed the stars in the sky.

"The Demon Lord of the Dark Moon? That name sounds like it has some connection with the Pleiades Star Lord?" Sun Wukong asked.

The order of the moon and the sun is reversed, and the moon is called the Demon Lord.

"You'll see when you get there. The Queen Mother of the West's lineage still exists in Heaven, and they've sown the seeds of evil!" Pigsy sighed and said.

"Since you've already spoken, you idiot, fine then. I, Old Sun, will go with you. Let's head to the Spider Cave first!"

Go meet your old flame, and then go meet the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord Nas.

After Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie discussed their next destination, they immediately reported to Luo De, indicating that they wanted to go to Pansiling.

"Then let's go to Pansiling! Wukong, there's something else I need to tell you. When Maitreya Buddha and I were chatting before, he mentioned that he was in the Floating Pagoda."

"I've brought an old friend to see you, but to see this friend, you need to find all of your innate talents first," Rhodes said.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian, the true God of War of Heaven, was determined to bring him into his ranks.

After all, the three traitors of Heaven are one who rebels openly, one who rebels secretly, and one who is ready to rebel at any time. They all need to be used properly.

“I see, Great God Wutian, I understand. After I’ve collected all the root weapons, I will return and visit him at the Floating Pagoda,” Sun Wukong said.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian, this time I, Old Sun, owe you a huge favor.

Chapter 425 Oh, so it's Fourth Sister! Lanxi Village

"Great God Wutian, my junior brother and I have already discussed it. We will go to the Spider Cave to meet some old friends and retrieve my fourth root weapon. After passing the Spider Cave, we will go to the Flaming Mountain to see Brother Niu." Sun Wukong came to Luo De, clasped his hands in greeting and said.

“No problem, let’s head to Pansiling next!” Rod nodded and said.

The original text of Journey to the West describes the seven spider demons as extremely beautiful. How so?

It's as if Chang'e has descended to the mortal realm, a fairy descending to earth!

In the original Journey to the West, she was described as having a beauty that surpassed even the Seven Fairies of Heaven and Chang'e of the Moon Palace.

Such unparalleled beauty—if one couldn't see it, wouldn't it be a wasted trip to this world? As a lecherous old man, Rhodes naturally had to see it.
