In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

At this moment, the monkey was already behind the Golden Armored War God, wielding the massive Ruyi Divine Iron, which weighed tens of thousands of pounds, and sweeping it towards the Golden Armored War God.

when!

With a deafening, metallic clang.

Sun Wukong looked in disbelief at the Ruyi Divine Iron that had been blocked, only to see a shield emerge from the arm of the Golden Armored War God, blocking Sun Wukong's attack.

At the same time, the immense force rebounded, sending the monkey flying.

At this time, Sun Wukong had not yet condensed his indestructible body, and the difference between the fifth and sixth levels of his profound skills was directly reflected.

In particular, when the Golden Armored War God was being developed, it tended to be a power-type puppet war god, and it was also enhanced with the 'nuclear reactor' developed by Zhang Xiaoshan as the source of power.

In terms of power, it is in no way inferior to the original body, and may even be superior to the original body.

"Such power! Jade Frontier War God, you've got some skill!"

The monkey raised the stick and charged forward again, determined not to give up.

This was originally just for fun, but I didn't expect to encounter a 'well-matched' opponent, which is exactly what the monkey wanted.

The puppet controlled by Chonglou's divine sense had no desire to get entangled with the monkey any further.

If the attack goes too far, or if the monkey misses his chance to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, his sins will be grave.

Then he clasped his hands together, and a dazzling, blazing light burst forth, illuminating the entire area.

This is one of the major trump cards Zhang Xiaoshan set up for the puppet.

In an instant, the white phosphorus bomb exploded with light at its maximum intensity, catching the monkey off guard. It suddenly went blind and was then blasted out of the temple by a terrifying force.

Meanwhile, the temple doors remained tightly shut, no longer welcoming this uninvited guest.

When Sun Wukong was thrown thousands of miles away, he opened his bewildered eyes, filled with tears, showing both fear and anger.

I never expected the other party to use such insidious and despicable methods.

The light that burst forth in that instant would have instantly vaporized an ordinary person due to the heat emanating from it. Although his golden body was not afraid of the intense heat, he was almost blinded by the light.

This method is unheard of.

As for the several Buddhist masters who were protecting the Dharma, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

They knew that Chonglou was very strong, as he was one of Chunyangzi's incarnations and cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

But to their surprise, their future protectors of Buddhism were so utterly defeated by Chonglou.

In just two rounds, he was driven out of the temple.

Fortunately, Chonglou did not seriously injure the monkey, but only sent him flying, which can be considered as doing his best.

The monkey, realizing what was happening, looked towards the temple with a hint of apprehension.

Then, he turned and left Kunlun Mountain.

On the contrary, the monkey's defeat was seen by many gods and immortals, who were all somewhat amused and exasperated.

He then looked towards the direction of the temple, a hint of surprise on his face.

Unexpectedly, this Jade Frontier War God was not just a name; he had some skill, and even the monkey couldn't last three rounds.

Even if this monkey is the worst, the fact that he became the Great Sage Equaling Heaven means that his strength has been assessed. He is at least at the level of a righteous god in the Heavenly Realm. He can't possibly be a useless person. It can only mean that his opponent is too strong.

In an instant, Sun Wukong silently made Chonglou famous throughout the Three Realms.

Chonglou, who was cultivating, was also awakened by the arrival of the monkey.

As the monkey left, Chonglou couldn't help but feel sympathy.

The monkey was plotted against from birth; perhaps the three hundred years he spent on Flower Fruit Mountain were the most authentic and happiest time of his life.

The monkey seems to be enjoying great success now, but its arrogance now will inevitably lead to its miserable end.

Immediately, Chonglou stopped his seclusion and prepared to take action when the Heavenly Court was in 'crisis,' so that this glory would not be given to Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

Chonglou understood that by stopping the monkey at this moment, he would gain immense merit.

Moreover, the greater one's understanding of and participation in Journey to the West, the greater the benefits one will undoubtedly receive.

Chonglou doesn't aspire to be part of the main cast, but he should at least be an important supporting character, especially since his true form is composed of the Fusang Tree and the Ginseng Fruit Tree, both of which possess perfected five elements.

Needless to say, the ginseng fruit, given the cause and effect of the monkey knocking down the ginseng fruit tree, allows Zhang Xiaoshan to seize the opportunity to obtain the essence of the ginseng fruit.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

And the hibiscus tree?

After Tang Sanzang subdues Zhu Wuneng, he will encounter Zen Master Wuchao who will impart the Heart Sutra to him.

The nest of the crow is woven from the branches of the Fusang tree, possessing boundless power. Even when Sun Wukong heard the words and became angry, he tried to stir it with his Ruyi Jingu Bang, but he couldn't move a single vine on the nest.

Such a treasure can only be found in bird nests woven from hibiscus wood.

The more Zhang Xiaoshan participated in this havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the greater his chances of obtaining treasures.

"My Lord God of War, an envoy from Heaven has delivered an invitation to the Peach Banquet!"

Yaochi is located high in the heavens. The Yaochi Wonderland, guarded by Chonglou, is a secret realm of the Western Kunlun Mountains, and is presided over annually by Yaochi Jinmu, an incarnation of the Queen Mother of the West.

In terms of status, one is yin and the other yang, just like the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East in ancient times.

......... 0 ...

As for why the Queen Mother of the West did not personally descend to preside over the ceremony?

Chonglou guessed that the Great Celestial Venerable in the Lingxiao Palace was merely an incarnation, and at least at the peak of the Great Luo realm, more than capable of suppressing the righteous gods of the Heavenly Realm.

Moreover, behind the two incarnations are beings who have truly transcended the Great Luo realm.

"I understand!"

Chonglou looked at the invitation in his hand and smiled slightly.

Just as I was about to get involved in the Journey to the West, the Heavenly Realm sent me an invitation to the Peach Banquet. Sure enough, when I was feeling sleepy, someone offered me a pillow.

Leaving behind the puppet of the Golden Armored War God to guard the temple, Chonglou transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky.

He knew the monkey would definitely block his way, so there was no need to go through the main gate.

What he wanted to do was to profit from the chaos.

It's clear that the monkey will inevitably wreak havoc in the Heavenly Realm this time. Not to mention the peaches of immortality and the finest nectar that the monkey has devoured, it's impossible for all the elixirs in the Tushita Palace to fall into the monkey's hands.

"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders," Chonglou planned to take advantage of the chaos to seize some immortal fruits, fine wines, and Nine-Turn Golden Elixir...

Of course, he didn't intend to hide it from Laozi and those bigwigs in the celestial realm.

This little bit of scheming is really nothing to worry about!

This feast was originally prepared for monkeys; if it were anyone else, these bigwigs might not have allowed Chonglou to profit so easily.

But Zhang Xiaoshan is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and everyone would definitely be happy to see this happen.

After all, the cause and effect are all on the monkey, or more precisely, on Buddhism. As long as the background is strong enough, Buddhism can only suffer in silence.

Who told them to orchestrate all of this?

Chonglou's scheme to acquire these elixirs and spiritual fruits was solely for the purpose of cultivating his profound arts and accumulating sufficient magical power.

Chapter 124 Fire Dragon Taoist's Chaos in the Heavenly Palace

"The catastrophe has begun!"

The pavilion in the middle of Daming Lake on the back mountain of the Imperial Academy.

Zhang Xiaoshan, now an old master, gazed intently at the dark sky.

This time, the monkey's havoc in the Heavenly Palace was not just a simple prank. The monkey's antics caused the Heavenly Realm's solemnity to collapse, demons to rise, chaos to descend, and even the aftershocks of the war to follow.

Such as the heavenly soldiers and generals who died in battle, the devastation caused by the floods and fires that destroyed Flower Fruit Mountain, and the fallen fire bricks...

"Meet the teacher."

For nearly four hundred years, Zhang Xiaoshan had nurtured countless students at the Imperial Academy.

Even when he was in seclusion for cultivation, the young sword master would occasionally take his place in teaching the students, resulting in every student who emerged from the Imperial Academy becoming a virtuous and influential official who brought prosperity to the region.

Moreover, those who became Zhang Xiaoshan's disciples were basically appointed to high-ranking positions within the empire.

Similarly, on September 20th, Zhang Xiaoshan's disciples were divided into nominal disciples and students under his tutelage.

The students sitting below were all of excellent character and academic standing, and Zhang Xiaoshan didn't mind lending them a hand.

With Zhang Xiaoshan backing them up, these students can go out without fear of anything, and do their best to realize their ambitions and act with great confidence.

The disciples, however, are different. In addition to the lineage of the Imperial Academy, they are also disciples of the Xuanmen (Taishegong) sect.

Zhang Xiaoshan's three nominal disciples: the eldest disciple, Fire Dragon Daoist, possesses a pure Yang Daoist body and inherits the pure Yang Daoist essence of Zhang Xiaoshan himself.

The second junior brother, Zhang Haogu, possesses an innate Daoist physique and a tranquil nature, making him suitable for cultivating the Taiqing Immortal Path.

The third disciple, Mo Yuan, was a direct descendant of the Mo family. He followed Zhang Xiaoshan to study the ways of sorcerers—mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

In terms of intelligence and comprehension, Mo Yuan was the most outstanding. He spent a hundred years creating the mechanical Azure Dragon that Zhang Xiaoshan had envisioned.

A puppet thousands of feet long, composed of 1.08 billion parts, far surpasses the Golden Armor Puppet in complexity. However, the Mechanical Azure Dragon is forged from ordinary iron and lacks a powerful source of energy, posing no threat even to a Loose Immortal.

But that's not the most important thing. As long as Mo Yuan's strength increases, coupled with the Immortal Dao's 'nuclear reactor,' this mechanical puppet will surely shine brightly.

In particular, Zhang Xiaoshan did not expect them to gain a foothold in the immortal realm.

These are all things of this world; they cannot possibly be too defying the heavens.

"Please sit down."

The three bowed to each other before taking their seats.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at his three disciples below. Unbeknownst to him, hundreds of years had passed.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan spent most of his time refining the three spiritual objects and sensing the five elements, his avatar was still the will of his true self. With a wave of his hand, a sword, a diagram, and a saber appeared before his three disciples.

"The empire was unified, but its original lifespan was less than a hundred years."

But I, your master, have calculated the secrets of heaven and ultimately extended the empire's life by three hundred years. Now that the ruler has obtained the elixir of immortality, he has violated a great taboo of the heavens, and the empire will surely fall apart.

I will also be retiring this time, and will hand over the management of the Imperial Academy to you.

I urge you not to participate in the power struggles among the feudal lords, but instead to cultivate future elites for the human race.

"is teacher!"

The three were surprised when Zhang Xiaoshan revealed such a shocking secret.

Leaving aside the continuation of the empire's lifespan, the mere fact that the ruler obtained the elixir of immortality was enough to greatly shock them.

Is it true that emperors live forever?

But even the First Emperor couldn't do it, so I never expected these things to happen.

"Fire Dragon, you cultivate the Pure Yang Dao. This Fire Dragon Sword contains the essence of a fire dragon, and its sword energy can release Samadhi True Fire."

Although this sword is not of the Innate Realm, its power is no less than that of a celestial treasure. Use it with caution.

Zhang Xiaoshan handed the Fire Dragon Sword to the Fire Dragon Taoist, who hurriedly and fearfully accepted it.

Fire Dragon Essence? Samadhi True Fire

Fire Dragon Taoist never expected that Zhang Xiaoshan would bestow such a precious treasure upon him before leaving.

"Good old, your character is indifferent, you do not compete or fight, which is in line with the way of non-action."

This Tai Chi diagram is a Taoist treasure—the Primordial Chaos Diagram, crafted in imitation of the legendary Primordial Tai Chi Diagram. It allows one to comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang and to harness the power of the Four Symbols to defend against enemies!

"This disciple thanks you, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

The Primordial Chaos Diagram sounds impressive, but it is ultimately an acquired magical artifact.

However, in terms of power, this Hunyuan Wuji Diagram is still quite good, with Yin and Yang trapping enemies and the Four Symbols defending against them, but it is insignificant compared to the supreme treasures possessed by Zhang Xiaoshan.

After all, the difference between innate and acquired is not just about the power of magical artifacts.

"Mo Yuan, this carving knife is made of Western Geng metal and has an indestructible sharpness."

Your art of mechanical arts should combine immortal talismans with mechanical puppetry. This engraving knife is extremely suitable for you to carve heavenly runes and repair the edges and corners.
