I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

"Take it."

Seeing that Sun Wukong was still hesitating, Xiaolongnu directly shoved the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) into his hand.

"Uh……"

When the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) fell into Sun Wukong's hands, the divine object sensed its power and transformed directly into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which was the perfect size to hold in his hand.

"Good baby." Sun Wukong's eyes shone brightly.

Overjoyed, he waved his arms a few times, his movements powerful and energetic.

This magic needle weighs 18,000 jin, but if controlled with supernatural powers, its power is far greater than that.

The Little Dragon Girl carefully examined Sun Wukong and found that he was very suitable to hold the Ruyi Jingu Bang, but something was missing.

"Monkey, if you had a suit of armor, you would be so cool and mighty," Little Dragon Girl remarked.

"Of course, I am the Handsome Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain," Sun Wukong said smugly.

"Wait here, I'll go back to the Dragon Palace and find you some suitable armor."

Before Sun Wukong could answer, the Little Dragon Girl transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the East Sea.

Sun Wukong still had his golden cudgel in his hand, and he wanted to return it.

"Ding, you have successfully completed the Great Dao quest, collected the Golden Cudgel, and obtained 5,000 quest points."

At this moment, the voice of the Dadao chat group rang out.

"The mission is complete!" Sun Wukong exclaimed in surprise.

……

Little Dragon Girl was gone for two days this time.

Sun Wukong sat on a rock on the shore of the East Sea and waited. One day, two days, ten days, half a month, a month, three months!

For three whole months, Little Dragon Girl never appeared again.

At this moment, Sun Wukong realized that something had happened to the Little Dragon Girl.

"It's over! It must be that Little Dragon Girl took the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) and was discovered by that old Dragon King, who punished her." Sun Wukong was extremely anxious.

Immediately, disregarding everything else, Sun Wukong dived into the East Sea and headed straight for the Dragon Palace.

"This is a sacred place in the Dragon Palace. No unauthorized persons are allowed to approach."

At the entrance to the Dragon Palace, a group of crab soldiers blocked Sun Wukong's path, their imposing presence overwhelming.

“Fellow Daoists Shrimp and Crab, don’t you remember me, Old Sun? I was here before the New Year; I was your neighbor from Flower Fruit Mountain,” Sun Wukong said.

"Monkey, you're the one who needs to be stopped. The Dragon King has decreed that no living being from Flower Fruit Mountain is allowed to enter the Dragon Palace," the shrimp soldiers and crab generals said sternly.

"What did you say?" Sun Wukong's face showed anger, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

It immediately unleashed a powerful aura, leaving the shrimp soldiers and crab generals speechless and trembling in fear.

"Hmph, don't stop me, old Sun."

After saying that, Sun Wukong rushed into the Dragon Palace. Although the guards of the Dragon Palace tried to stop him, they were no match for him and were easily slapped away.

The more this happened, the more aquatic creatures came to stop Sun Wukong!

Among them were aquatic immortals, including Earth Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and Golden Immortals. As the pressure on Sun Wukong gradually increased, he relied on his powerful Heaven-Covering Technique and his physical body's secret realm to sweep through the enemy ranks and defeat the experts of the Immortal Path of the Western Regions.

Finally, Sun Wukong arrived at the Dragon King's Palace.

At this point, Sun Wukong was covered in wounds and his breathing was disordered. It was already quite remarkable that he had managed to get this far after such a fierce battle.

The East Sea may not have as many experts as the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Court's aquatic soldiers number in the millions!

Aside from the experts at the Great Luo realm, the resources of the East Sea below the Great Luo realm are no less than those of the Heavenly Court.

In the Dragon King's Palace, the Dragon King of the East Sea looked at Sun Wukong with icy eyes.

"You rascal, you still dare to come to the East China Sea."

The Dragon King of the East Sea spoke, his voice like an iron hammer striking Sun Wukong's chest, causing Sun Wukong's blood to surge and almost vomit blood, but fortunately Sun Wukong forcibly held it back.

"Dragon King, where is the Little Dragon Girl?" Sun Wukong asked.

“You monkey, how dare you mention the Little Dragon Girl! She is my daughter. If she makes a mistake, she must be punished.” The Dragon King of the East Sea replied.

"Old Dragon King, I will return the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff that stabilizes the sea), and you can set Little Dragon Girl free," Sun Wukong said.

"The Sea-Stabilizing Needle must be returned, of course, but what business is it of yours what my daughter's freedom is? You leave the East Sea now, and you are never allowed to come looking for the Little Dragon Girl again." The Dragon King of the East Sea said coldly.

"What will happen to Little Dragon Girl?" Sun Wukong asked.

"She will be meditating in the Dragon Palace for ten thousand years. During that time, she can only stay in the Dragon Palace and cannot go anywhere else," said the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Facing the wall for ten thousand years?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong turned pale with fright. How lonely would the Little Dragon Girl, who loved freedom so much, be if she couldn't leave the Dragon Palace for ten thousand years!

"Dragon King, this punishment is too harsh!" Sun Wukong shouted.

"You monkey, who gave you the right to teach me?" The Dragon King of the East Sea unleashed his dragon might to suppress Sun Wukong.

“You old bastard, you’re being unreasonable! How can you punish your own daughter like this? No matter what, today I, Old Sun, am taking Little Dragon Girl away.”

Sun Wukong roared, unleashing boundless fighting spirit, manifesting the power of a Golden Immortal at its peak, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!

"A mere Golden Immortal, how arrogant!"

"I, the King, can subdue you, you rascal, with just one hand!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea sneered and extended a golden dragon claw into the void. This dragon claw appeared to be only a few inches in size, but it contained a vast universe within. Once locked on, there was nowhere to escape.

Sun Wukong unleashed his Heaven-Covering Technique, his physical body resonating within a secret realm, his flesh radiating a glow, and behind him manifested a colossal, towering, chaotic demonic ape…

The Chaos Demon Ape roared, its enormous hand slamming towards the Dragon King's Claw.

However, the Dragon King's power carried the power of rules, and he suppressed Sun Wukong with just one strike!

Sun Wukong entered the path of immortality not long after his birth, through the Heaven-Covering Technique.

However, he is only skilled in physical combat. The Dragon King is a powerful being above the Great Luo level, who controls the laws of the Great Dao. Every word, action, and movement of his contains the might of the heavens.

It wasn't that Sun Wukong's combat power was lacking, but rather that he was directly suppressed by the Dao!

Sun Wukong struggled to hold on, refusing to retreat an inch. The Dragon King of the East Sea had not expected Sun Wukong to be so persistent, so he increased his power, crushing Sun Wukong's bones with the power of the Great Luo, breaking his tendons and bones, cracking his flesh, and causing blood to flow all over the ground!

……

Chapter 440 Sun Wukong: Thank you for the great support of Pangu!

"This monkey is so stubborn!"

The Dragon King had completely suppressed Sun Wukong. After using the power of the Great Luo, Sun Wukong, who was only a Golden Immortal, had no chance to resist. There was a huge difference in realms, and the Great Luo and the Golden Immortal were worlds apart!

The Dragon King couldn't possibly kill Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong's status in this great calamity was extraordinary. If he died now, it would be difficult to explain to both the Heavenly Court and the West!

Furthermore, although the Dragon King was angry, he never took back the Ruyi Jingu Bang, even though Sun Wukong had already obtained it beforehand; he might as well have given it away.

The reason for letting Sun Wukong leave was that the Dragon King discovered through deduction that if the Little Dragon Girl stayed with Sun Wukong, it would trigger a fatal calamity!

For cultivators, especially immortal cultivators or special races like the dragons, there are always life-threatening tribulations during their growth process.

If one cannot survive the death calamity, then all one's cultivation will disappear, and one may even be unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation, completely vanishing.

Sun Wukong is one of the main characters in Journey to the West. Getting too involved with him will lead to a great calamity. When the calamity is added to one's body, the calamity energy will enter one's body, and naturally, great disaster will befall one.

Sun Wukong's bones were shattered, blood flowed everywhere, but his eyes remained stubborn.

In the end, the Dragon King had no choice but to withdraw his power. "You monkey, you and the little dragon girl have only known each other for a few years. For us cultivators, that's just a blink of an eye. What makes you so willing to offend me, rather than fear that I might actually kill you?"

"I don't know, I just want to see Xiaolongnu again. Xiaolongnu loves freedom, and being confined in the Dragon Palace for ten thousand years must be worse than death."

Sun Wukong stood up and answered with difficulty.

"Freedom comes at a high price, and I am doing this for my daughter."

"Although I don't know why you came to the Dragon Palace to retrieve the treasure ahead of schedule, you should understand your special status."

"It won't end well for Xiaolongnu to be with you."

The Dragon King looked coldly at Sun Wukong, almost revealing the truth in the hopes that the monkey would understand.

"Why did it not end well?" Sun Wukong asked.

"This is a calamity, this is cause and effect, this is the way of heaven, this is destiny! Only by staying away from you can Little Dragon Girl avoid this calamity..." The Dragon King directly revealed the truth.

Sun Wukong laughed, "Hahaha, what cause and effect, what destiny, isn't it all up to you gods and Buddhas to decide?"

The Dragon King was surprised, not expecting Sun Wukong to have such insight. "Under the Heavenly Dao, even a giant monkey can only retreat and hide. What can a monkey like you do?"

The dragons did not follow the rules of heaven, so they withdrew from the stage of heaven and earth and became mere supporting characters, living in seclusion in the four seas.

Dragons even became a delicacy for gods and Buddhas, and dragon meat became a gourmet food for the gods!

Of course, the dragons that the gods devoured were not pure-blooded dragons, but rather lower-level dragons that had undergone transformation through the Dragon Gate.

"I understand."

Sun Wukong realized what the Dragon King meant. He was a major being in the Great Tribulation, and the Little Dragon Girl's relationship with him would create karma. If the karma was too deep, it could very well trigger a life-or-death tribulation.

He didn't want to implicate Xiaolongnu, ultimately because he was too weak.

Before leaving, Sun Wukong left many fruits from Flower Fruit Mountain for the Little Dragon Girl, and also bought some fairy tale books and toys from the Great Dao chat group...

He hoped these things could accompany Little Dragon Girl!

When Sun Wukong left the East Sea, the Dragon King gave him a suit of armor, a treasure of the East Sea, which was impervious to water and fire, and could not be damaged by swords or spears, and would not decay over the years.

Naturally, this armor was obtained by Xiaolongnu.

……

Sun Wukong returned to Flower Fruit Mountain dejectedly, knowing that it was virtually impossible for him to see the Little Dragon Girl again!

Unless we wait until the Journey to the West ends, but that will be hundreds of years from now.

Now, even a day without Little Dragon Girl feels like an eternity, let alone five hundred years.

The Great Way Chat Group.

Stone Monkey: "Do you have any wine? Preferably the kind that makes you sleep for hundreds of years after just one sip?"

Sun Wukong posted in the chat group, expressing his extreme distress.

Chu Luoli: "Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you!"

Xiao Yan: "Same question!"

Qian Renxue: "Eat watermelon!"

Black Emperor: "Wine??"

He loves drinking animal milk: "Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Wukong: "Ah... here's what happened!"

Sun Wukong then recounted how he met and fell in love with the Little Dragon Girl. Since she was just a member of the group, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After the group members heard this, the entire chat group was quiet for a few minutes.

Chu Luoli: "Oh no, Monkey King, you've fallen in love!"

Xiao Yan: "Yes, yes, this is a love tribulation!"

The God King Jiang Taixu said, "The Great Sage is also a person of strong emotions, with deep feelings and true nature."

Fairy Yunxiao: "The Dragon King is right. The deeper the Little Dragon Girl gets into contact with you, the more dangerous the tribulations will be in the future."

The Ancestral Witch Houtu said, "What a pity for a pair of lovers."

Stone Monkey: "?? A love tribulation? Who are you? I've fallen for Little Dragon Girl?"

Chu Luoli: "Otherwise what?"

Stone Monkey: "I don't understand the feelings between men and women. It's just that I feel very uncomfortable and lonely without Little Dragon Girl."

Chu Luoli: "Love between men and women always begins with ignorance, Brother Monkey."

Xiao Yan: "You know so much, Logic Brother?"
