I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

When Monkey King fought against the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling, I wonder if Patriarch Bodhi intervened to help him?

The monkey chuckled, a hint of wistfulness in its eyes.

"Junior brother, as the direct descendant of the patriarch's lineage, you can ask him yourself in the future... Unlike me, old Sun, who is ultimately just a trustee..."

Ning Chen understood that, in the end, Patriarch Bodhi did not make a move, either because he was unwilling or unable to.

As for the truth, he will ask the patriarch for clarification when the time is right.

The two said no more and simply ate meat and drank wine heartily.

In this dark and oppressive land, the Monkey King's five hundred years of loneliness were somewhat lessened by this brief reunion.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Wukong suddenly stopped what he was doing, listened intently, and a look of seriousness and mockery appeared on his face.

"It's time again..."

He looked at Ning Chen, grinned, and his smile carried a hint of farewell.

"Junior brother, go! If I don't surrender, I'll suffer the pain of being pierced by ten thousand swords and struck by heavenly lightning every single day!"

"Senior brother!"

Ning Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"Don't act like a child!"

Sun Wukong suddenly waved his hand, the chains rattled, and his fiery eyes became even more piercing.

"Hurry! Don't let them find out! Remember my words, old Sun! I'll be waiting for the day you, junior brother, turn this game upside down!"

Just as Ning Chen was about to use the Free and Easy Wandering technique to escape, Sun Wukong seemed to suddenly remember something, and a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, right! Junior brother! I almost forgot something important!"

Ning Chen turned to look at his senior brother, only to see that the monkey's face was full of smugness.

"Back in Flower Fruit Mountain, when you were drunk, you told me, 'Brother, if you ever have the chance to capture the Seven Fairies in the Peach Garden, remember, don't just focus on the peaches on the trees. There are even more wonderful things about those fairies, hehehe!'"

Ning Chen blushed instantly. What did I say when I was drunk back then?

Isn't this completely corrupting the honest monkey?

But he also had some expectations. Could it be that after that day, his senior brother had the Little Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and was going to entrust the little monkey to him?

I wonder how many descendants my senior brother has.

Sun Wukong grinned mischievously, a blush appearing on his thin, bony face.

"At the time, I, Old Sun, was oblivious to everything. I was so engrossed in eating peaches in the Peach Garden that I almost forgot about them! It wasn't until I was about to leave that I remembered what you said, Junior Brother, so I searched them. Hehe, sure enough! The biggest and most beautiful one was hidden in their chests! Consider this one my gift, five hundred years late!"

Sun Wukong painstakingly plucked a hair from the back of his head, and a flash of light appeared before Ning Chen's eyes.

An enormous peach, radiating a spiritual glow, suddenly appeared in his palm!

The peaches were pink and tender, surrounded by an ethereal aura, clearly extraordinary. Although five hundred years had passed and the skin was somewhat dry and wrinkled, the boundless spiritual energy they exuded remained undiminished.

"This is the peach you spoke of that ripens only once every nine thousand years. Eat it, and you, junior brother, will live as long as the heavens!"

Ning Chen's eyes reddened. There were many people in the world who were good to him, but only Monkey King was so sincere to him.

Wukong was imprisoned in this dark and sunless chamber for five hundred years, deprived of food and drink, yet he couldn't bear to eat this peach.

Monkey King was truly devoted to his junior brother.

Ning Chen accepted the heavy, nine-thousand-year-old peach. Looking into Sun Wukong's mischievous yet sincere eyes, he felt a mix of emotions, a warm current flowing through his heart.

"Senior brother..."

"Hurry up, don't look back!"

Sun Wukong urged him again, his expression turning serious.

Ning Chen no longer hesitated, and looked deeply at Sun Wukong, as if he wanted to etch his senior brother's current appearance into the depths of his soul.

Senior brother, wait for me. Now that we know the future, there's always a chance to turn things around...

Ning Chen restarted the Free and Easy Wandering technique, his figure transforming into a wisp of breeze, silently passing through the Buddhist light barrier and drifting out of the cave.

He appeared instantly beside Luo Zhantian and the others who were anxiously waiting, startling them all.

"Brother Ning, when did you get back?"

"Didn't the monkey demons make things difficult for you?"

"You killed that demon monkey?"

"When did you become the Monkey King?"

Just as Ning Chen was about to speak, he suddenly looked up at the sky filled with demonic clouds.

Suddenly, a blinding golden light shone in the sky!

A majestic and awe-inspiring heavenly sound resounded.

"Monkey King Sun Wukong! Are you willing to convert to Buddhism, protect the pilgrims on their journey to the West, and atone for your sins through meritorious service?"

Inside the cave, Sun Wukong's defiant roar could be heard clearly, every word filled with unyielding courage and spirit.

"Convert to Buddhism? Dream on! I'd rather die than surrender!"

A voice said coldly from the air.

"You stubborn monkey, how many more years can you hold out like this!"

immediately!

Thunder God and Lightning Goddess appeared in the sky, along with the figures of heavenly soldiers and generals!

boom!

call out!call out!call out!call out!

The response to Wukong was a terrifying thunder that tore through the sky!

And thousands of flying swords, gleaming with a chilling light, poured down like a torrential rain!

Generals Bengba roared angrily.

"My children, protect the King!"

One hundred thousand demon monkeys instantly formed an array!

The monkeys' bodies lit up with golden light, and they wielded their long staffs in an unstoppable manner, forcefully resisting the flying swords!

Thunder, like a raging dragon, crashed fiercely into the cave!

Ten thousand swords fell like meteors, carrying a sharp, piercing whistle, mercilessly shooting towards the thin figure chained and imprisoned beneath Five Finger Mountain!

The demon monkey formation blocked most of them, but some flying swords still managed to penetrate from tricky angles!

The sound of Sun Wukong's suppressed, maniacal laughter echoed from inside the cave.

"That feels good, that feels good! Harder! Are you tickling Grandpa Sun?"

The monkey's furious roar, mixed with the thunderous sword cries, terrified Luo Zhantian, Chen Feng, and the others!

What kind of demon monkey is this, that it can withstand a thunderbolt from the sky and survive being pierced by ten thousand swords?

Is this hurdle truly something that can be overcome by human effort?

Ning Chen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his nails digging deep into his palms, oblivious to the blood seeping out.

With his back to the cave ravaged by Buddha's light and struck by lightning, his body stiffened, unable to bear the horrific scene any longer.

Each bombardment seemed to strike his heart.

He could imagine the inhuman suffering his senior brother was enduring at that moment.

But he didn't turn around.

The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, but he suppressed it with his supreme will.

He understood that even though he possessed the Void Returning cultivation level and three acquired spiritual treasures of the Jie Sect, under the watchful eyes of countless gods and Buddhas, he would not only be unable to save his senior brother, but would also completely expose himself.

After a long while, the thunder dissipated, the myriad swords vanished, and all the gods and Buddhas disappeared. Only a woman in white, holding a jade bottle, appeared before the Two Realms Mountain, and her compassionate voice rang out.

"You monkey, if you don't eat or drink, even if you have a body of steel, how long can you last?"

"Stop your nonsense, Guanyin. You're just like that Buddha, putting on airs and disgusting me..."

Monkey King seemed to have lost the will to argue, and his voice gradually faded.

The white-robed Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly shook her head, and her figure disappeared.

Ning Chen raised his head and looked at the Five Elements Mountain peak, which was bathed in golden light and filled with Buddhist chants. His eyes were cold and piercing, but deep inside burned a flame more intense than the stars.

"Senior brother, you must hold on."

Ning Chen silently recited in his heart.

"Now that I have seen the future, and know of this bleak future, then as long as I live, none of this will ever happen again!"

After waiting for a while, no notification appeared, so they looked at Ning Chen.
