Four Heavenly Kings!

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!

Huian Xingzhe Muzha!

Erlang appears as the Holy Lord!

……

Sun Wukong fought against countless immortals and gods!

Especially when Erlang Shen Yang Jian appeared, countless fans of the prehistoric world were terrified!

That's the protagonist of Investiture of the Gods, the universally acknowledged template for a powerful male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel! A being who achieved sainthood through physical cultivation, the number one disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect!

But Sun Wukong actually fought him to a standstill!

In the end, it was Laozi who, while Sun Wukong was engaged in a fierce battle with the Seven Sages of Meishan, threw the Vajra Bracelet in a sneak attack and captured the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!

But even if he were captured, figuring out how to kill him would be a major problem...

He is impervious to sword cuts and lightning strikes. Even if he were thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace and refined by fire, he could break free and escape, instead gaining a pair of fiery eyes!

The vast Heavenly Palace was powerless against him. Even when the Buddha himself arrived, he shouted, "Emperors take turns, next year it's my turn! As long as he moves out and hands over the Heavenly Palace to me, that's fine. If he doesn't, I will wreak havoc on the Three Realms and ensure that there will never be peace again!"

It’s on fire!

Countless readers were absolutely thrilled!

Even more outrageous is that in just seven chapters, that monkey has already reached the pinnacle of monkey life, challenging Buddha and wanting to become the ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor!

This is simply an invincible protagonist novel!

Unlike the dry classical Chinese version, the popular version written by the girls adopted the style of online novels, emphasizing the foreshadowing of the plot and the description of large-scale scenes.

Whether it's the supernatural powers and magical treasures of the immortals, or the battle scenes used by Sun Wukong in battle, everything is described in great detail, as if it were a piece of wood.

In addition to empathy,

It makes viewers feel as if they are witnessing the monkey causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, as if they are actually there.

It was so exhilarating, absolutely awesome!

In addition, the popular version retains much of the literary quality of the classical version, preserving some famous quotes.

For example, phrases like "Emperors take turns, next year it's my turn!", "Wealth and fame are preordained by fate", and "The strong should be respected, and heroes dare to compete for the lead!" enhance the literary atmosphere of the novel and make it more interesting.

Good sentences can enhance a work, such as "At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A glimpse of the beginningless Dao turns everything to nothing," "Ahead lies China, where gods forbid passage," and "Where fallen leaves dance, fire burns eternally."

There are many such sentences in "Journey to the West," and the girl selectively retained them in the popular version.

Chapter 403 A Masterpiece! Literary Giants Praise It High!

The classical Chinese version of Journey to the West has one hundred chapters, while the popular version has one hundred sections!

With a total word count of nearly one million, it's clearly a huge project that can't be finished in one night.

But even just the initial scenes of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace are incredibly shocking and have successfully captivated every reader.

Even after Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha, the audience's desire to continue reading remained undiminished.

As the main character, how could he possibly be trapped under the mountain forever?

It will definitely come out again!

When the monkey comes out, he will still be the invincible and lawless Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

This part of the plot is similar to an exposure story, like in a novel where everyone expects the protagonist to reveal his identity as a peerless master. At this moment, readers are looking forward to Sun Wukong emerging from under the Five Fingers Mountain.

On Weibo.

It was almost midnight, but the place was bustling with activity and excitement.

Blasted!

Completely exploded!

Tonight, a monkey set the internet ablaze!

"That monkey is so damn awesome!" 25

"This is the first person to dare speak to the Buddha like that, and he even wants to be the Jade Emperor? My God!"

"Hahahaha, Nezha's part almost made me die laughing. He's such a traitor to the Heavenly Court. Whoever attacks the Heavenly Court, I'll help them."

"That's so Nezha!"

"What a pity, the Great Sage still lost in the end and was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by Buddha!"

"It's alright, Sun Wukong will be a hero again after he comes out! I can't wait to see him emerge from under the Five Fingers Mountain!"

"I used to only like Yang Jian, but now I like another monkey!"

"Have you guys read the classical Chinese version? Youmingyue is so funny, it's unbelievable! Did these really write by two twenty-year-old girls? I feel like I've wasted my Chinese language skills!"

"These girls are amazing!"

"Even the popular version has a strong literary quality. While reading it, I doubted more than once that I was reading a classic!"

"I absolutely love this novel! Highly recommend it!"

"..."

Online, discussions about "Journey to the West" can be seen everywhere.

Everyone was completely engrossed in the book, leaving enthusiastic comments and recommending it to their friends.

At this moment.

The appearance of a single Weibo post has added even more fuel to the already bustling internet.

It was posted by the famous traditional literature writer Zhao Ping:

"After You Mingyue's new book was released, I have been reading it for a long time without realizing it. Seeing so many people discussing it, I would like to share my humble opinion."

"To be honest, You Mingyue is already qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, and their future is even more promising. It's hard to imagine that a book like 'Journey to the West' could be written by an online novelist, but it's true."

"I read the classical Chinese version, and the more I read, the more horrified I became by their terrifying nature. I kept asking myself, what kind of extraordinary talent could produce such a masterpiece! Such a work of art!"

"Yes, a masterpiece! This novel combines literary merit with compelling storytelling. It possesses unparalleled grandeur, unimaginable literary skill, incredible imagination, several vividly portrayed characters, and effortless use of Buddhist and Taoist allusions. It can be said that it has reached the pinnacle of achievement..."

"It's just as good as 'League of Gods'!"

"It's no longer just a novel, but a mythology. You Mingyue is writing the mythology of the Chinese nation on Blue Star! This is what Chinese mythology should be like. You Mingyue is doing the same thing as the original author of 'Legend of the Gods,' perfecting Chinese mythology!"

"It is my good fortune to have the opportunity to read 'Journey to the West,' and I believe it is also a blessing for the entire Chinese literary world. In the future, 'Journey to the West' will surely have a place in the literary world!"

"..."

As a renowned traditional literature writer and member of the literary association, Zhao Ping has never publicly reviewed a book online before, let alone given it such high praise.

But he did it anyway, because Journey to the West is worth it! Youmingyue is worth it!

After reading the first ten chapters of "Journey to the West", he realized that he had to do something.

There is indeed a phenomenon of writers belittling each other in literary circles, but this time, he genuinely admired the twins and believed that he could not write such a novel, and was far inferior to them!

……

Zhao Pinglun's fan base certainly can't compare to that of top-tier celebrities like the young woman, but he carries considerable weight in the literary world.

He's a big shot in the literary world!

His Weibo post caused a sensation in literary circles as soon as it was published.

"Good heavens, a masterpiece? Zhao Ping really dares to praise it!"

"If I remember correctly, Journey to the West was a web novel that You Mingyue just published, right? How could a web novel receive such high praise?"

"Did Zhao Ping drink fake alcohol? Or did he take a lot of money from You Mingyue? You can't make money like this without any conscience!"

"@Zhao Ping, you're not a good brother. You're making dirty money without even taking me with you."

"Has he been bewitched by Youmingyue?"

"To be fair, Zhao Ping really went wrong in elevating an online novel to the status of a legend, or even a national myth!"

"No, I have to go and see if this book is really as amazing as Zhao Ping claims!"

"..."

In a certain literature group, messages were rapidly flooding the screen.

After sending the message, many people quickly opened the novel website and began reading "Journey to the West".

Joking aside, they knew Zhao Ping well and knew that given his character and literary standing, he wouldn't easily praise someone like that unless the book was truly of high quality, which would make Zhao Ping do such a thing!

Little did they know that this one glance would lead them into the Journey to the West, where they became completely engrossed and unable to stop.

Zhao Ping didn't pay attention to the chat. After posting on Weibo, he went back to reading "Journey to the West." He glanced at the time; there was still some time before 1 a.m., so he could continue reading.

He worked on his liver until 5 a.m., and only when he could no longer stay up did he finally go to sleep.

However, he was very excited and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. His mind was full of various plots of "Journey to the West". In a daze, he seemed to have become that monkey, making trouble in the Heavenly Palace and obtaining the scriptures in the world of "Journey to the West"!

Then, without realizing it, I drifted off to sleep.
