Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Zhenyuan Daxian looked Ling Chi over and nodded with a smile: "Your aura has suddenly begun to increase. It seems that you have broken through the bottleneck and reached the Golden Immortal realm. Congratulations!"

"Ah!?" Mingyue exclaimed in surprise, "He's already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm!?"

He and Qingfeng have been enlightened by Zhen Yuanzi for hundreds of years, and they have remained at the Xuanxian realm without any improvement. But Ling Chi? He actually broke through to the Jinxian realm in the blink of an eye! It's infuriating.

Zhenyuan Daxian chuckled: "Young friend Lingchi has boundless potential and limitless future achievements. You two are far superior to him. Do not be jealous, as it will hinder your cultivation."

"Yes, Master." Although she was extremely envious, Mingyue didn't feel jealous at all. After all, Ling Chi had already won her over with his stomach, and she could only feel close to him, not harbor any ill intentions!

"Huh?" Qingfeng, who had just come to his senses, asked, "What did Master just say?"

Zhenyuan Daxian pointed at him and laughed, scolding, "You! You're such a glutton."

"Hehehe..." Mingyue gloated as she saw Qingfeng being scolded.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhenyuan Daxian kicked him, "You're not even as good as Qingfeng! You worthless bastard."

Mingyue: orz!

……

Time marches on, and before we know it, the second Peach Banquet is just around the corner.

On this day, the Dragon King of the East Sea and the King of Hell from the Underworld went to Heaven together to accuse Sun Wukong. One accused Sun Wukong of stealing the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff that stabilizes the sea), and the other accused Sun Wukong of tearing up the Book of Life and Death.

The Jade Emperor was furious, and the consequences were severe: "Li Jing!"

"Your subject is here!" Li Jing stepped forward to await orders.

"I hereby appoint you as the Grand Marshal Who Subdues Demons, and lead the troops to capture the demon monkey!"

"Leader!"

Then he was utterly defeated by Sun Wukong and fled in a sorry state.

The Jade Emperor was very angry, and the consequences...

"Your Majesty!" Venus began to persuade, saying that rather than creating an enemy for the Heavenly Court, it would be better to recruit and appease it, thus keeping it under some control.

The Jade Emperor agreed, and then sent Taibai Jinxing down to the mortal realm to recruit Sun Wukong, using the exact same method as when he recruited Lingchi.

Not long after, Sun Wukong was taken to heaven by Taibai Jinxing and appointed as Bi Ma Wen, to raise horses for the Jade Emperor.

However, after only half a month, Sun Wukong learned that he was just a stable boy and angrily returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.

You wouldn't even take a civil service job, even if it's just raising horses, it's still a legitimate civil service job! Not only are you afraid, but you also dare to run away without a word? It's not that easy.

Furthermore, after returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong actually gave himself the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven, which made him even more lawless.

The Jade Emperor was very angry, and the consequences were...

"Your Majesty!" At the crucial moment, Venus stepped forward again, saying that Sun Wukong only rebelled because his sinecure was too low. Since that was the case, then let's give him a higher sinecure, which would be better than making enemies of the Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor agreed again, and then Taibai Jinxing went to Flower Fruit Mountain again to recruit Sun Wukong. After some discussion, they finally acknowledged Sun Wukong's title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but he would not hold any official position; he would simply stay in Heaven.

Sun Wukong was a monkey, and he couldn't stay idle. When he saw that he had nothing to do, he traveled around and made many friends. He basically went to every place he could and made friends with everyone he could.

Because of his delicious cooking and his love for lively gatherings, the culinary master Ling Chi and the monkey became good friends. Sun Wukong would often run to the culinary master's palace to freeload.

Since the ingredients were all from Heaven, Ling Chi only needed to cook them and there was no loss, so he didn't find it troublesome. In addition, he had loved watching Journey to the West since he was a child and had long admired Sun Wukong. He was very happy to be able to make friends with the real Sun Wukong.

By the way, the Sun Wukong in this world is really handsome. He is one of the most handsome monkeys. Although he is small in stature, he has a strong heroic spirit. He is indeed worthy of being called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

When the golden-eyed monkeys on the farm saw Sun Wukong through the 'live broadcast,' they were so excited that they did somersaults. This was their monkey clan's ultimate hero, the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who would never be surpassed!

Excited.

Later, the Jade Emperor saw that Sun Wukong was too idle, so he asked him to manage the Peach Garden.

When Ling Chi heard this news, he sensed a strong smell of conspiracy.

The Jade Emperor, a dignified ruler, actually appointed Sun Wukong to manage the Peach Garden. Anyone with a sound mind knows there must be something fishy going on.

Having read Journey to the West, Ling Chi knew what would happen next, but she didn't want to stop it, nor was it necessary.

As expected, Sun Wukong indeed stole and ate all the peaches from the Peach Garden. Whether they were three thousand years old, six thousand years old, or nine thousand years old, as long as they were big, he ate them all.

However, Sun Wukong was very loyal; he kept more than a dozen of each of the three types of peaches and sent them to Ling Chi.

"What is this?" Ling Chi was so scared when he saw these peaches that he almost peed his pants.

"Hehehe, peaches of immortality, they're delicious!" Sun Wukong chuckled. "I saved these especially for you, aren't you loyal!"

"..." Ling Chi had a headache.

He believed that some powerful beings were watching this place and must know about Sun Wukong giving him the peaches, but he still accepted them without hesitation.

Anyway, if he doesn't accept it, Sun Wukong will eat him anyway, and this matter should be tacitly approved by all parties, so what is he afraid of? At worst, he can just run away with Shuang'er and the others, they won't die.

Ling Chi prepared a table of delicious food: "Great Sage, eat more, eat more, because it will be hard to eat this again later."

Sun Wukong: "???"

……

It's that time of year again for the Peach Banquet, but this year, it ended before it even began.

Because Sun Wukong ate all the peaches, stole all the wine and fruit from the Peach Banquet, and even stole Laozi's elixir, the Peach Banquet was turned into a mobilization meeting to capture the demon monkey.

The commotion was so great that even Guanyin Bodhisattva came, and Erlang Shen fought with Sun Wukong. In the end, with the help of Laozi's Diamond Bracelet, they finally managed to capture Sun Wukong.

When the Jade Emperor was eager to kill Sun Wukong, he discovered that Sun Wukong had become indestructible, impervious to swords, fire, and lightning, and there was no way to kill him.

Once again, Laozi stepped forward, throwing Sun Wukong into the alchemy furnace and burning him for forty-nine days. He thought he could refine an elixir of immortality, but instead, he gave Sun Wukong fiery eyes. Sun Wukong kicked the alchemy furnace and stormed the Lingxiao Palace, displaying his divine might and awe-inspiring power, as if he wanted to usurp the Jade Emperor's throne.

But when the Buddha was invited, Sun Wukong urinated on his hand and was then pressed under the Five Elements Mountain. Although he struggled for a long time, he was no match for the seal and his magic was sealed, leaving him firmly pressed under the Five Elements Mountain.

The Jade Emperor was very pleased and hosted a banquet for the Buddha and all the gods to attend the Heavenly Peace Conference. Ling Chi was entrusted with an important task: to prepare a large amount of fine wine and food so that all the gods and Buddhas could eat to their hearts' content.

Ling Chi also took the opportunity to gain some experience points, which, although not many, were still quite good.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong suffered greatly, gradually becoming calm and numb, from his initial anger and resentment to his eventual acceptance of his fate.

A hundred years later, a light footstep sound came from behind. Sun Wukong looked up and his eyes lit up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Ling! Have you come to save me, old Sun?!"

The person who arrived was Ling Chi, who was carrying a food box and walking over. Hearing Sun Wukong's shout, he made a shushing gesture and said, "I have no ability to save you, I just secretly brought you some food."

"..." Sun Wukong's golden fur dimmed, and he said with a wry smile, "Yes! Even I, Old Sun, can't do anything, so what can you do?"

Ling Chi raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He walked over to Sun Wukong, sat down cross-legged, took out the fine wine and food from the food box, and said, "Do you still remember what I said when we ate at my house for the last time?"

"..." Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said, "You said you wanted me to eat more, otherwise it would be hard to get any?"

At this point, Sun Wukong looked at him in shock: "You... you knew all along that I, Old Sun, would face this calamity!?"

"Nonsense," Ling Chi said. "The peaches in the Peach Garden are all treasures of the Heavenly Court. It's one thing if you steal a few, but who would have thought you would eat all the big ones? It would be strange if you didn't get into trouble."

"..." Sun Wukong retorted, "I, Old Sun, didn't eat them all. Didn't I give you several dozen?"

"Shut up!" Ling Chi glared at him. "You want me to be locked up too, so you won't even have anyone to bring you groceries anymore!?"

Sun Wukong chuckled twice: "Of course not, come on, let's drink."

Sun Wukong grabbed the wine jug and poured the wine directly into his mouth: "Ah! Good wine!"

"..." Ling Chi shook his head, handed him a plate of fried bananas, and said, "Your crime this time is too great. It's already good that you didn't die. But you don't need to worry. As far as I know, you will be suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. After five hundred years, someone will rescue you."

"Really!?" Sun Wukong was extremely excited: "Good brother, who will rescue me!?"

"I don't know about that." Ling Chi shook his head and looked at the situation where Sun Wukong was being suppressed. It was similar to the TV series, with only his head and one hand showing. It looked painful.

Ling Chi asked, "Great Sage, is your magic power sealed, preventing you from escaping?"

"Yes!" Sun Wukong complained, "I don't know who put up a sign on the mountain that prevents me from using my magic. Otherwise, I wouldn't be trapped under this damn mountain."

As expected, this explains why Sun Wukong, despite his transformation abilities, could not escape.

“Great Sage, I cannot say more, but you should wait patiently for four hundred years. After four hundred years, you will surely be free from suffering, and perhaps an opportunity will come.”

"An opportunity?" Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Good brother, what kind of opportunity are you talking about?"

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said." Ling Chi shook his head and pointed to the sky.

Sun Wukong understood and nodded.

"I only have one sentence to give to the Great Sage: A fine sword is forged through tempering, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold." Ling Chi handed a plate of snacks to Sun Wukong and said, "Great Sage, just think of it as a nightmare. After you wake up, everything will be fine."

Sun Wukong glanced at him and nodded: "Good brother, I remember your kindness."

Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "To avoid trouble, I won't come again. We brothers will meet again after the Great Sage is freed."

"Alright!" Sun Wukong said, "I'll be waiting."

After Sun Wukong finished eating the food and wine he had brought, and chatted for a while, Lingchi returned to the Heavenly Court.

Sun Wukong gazed in the direction where Ling Chi had disappeared, sighed softly, and closed his eyes.

Just pretend it was a nightmare.

……

A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth. Lingchi spent four hundred days in heaven, while four hundred years had passed on earth.

On this day, Sun Wukong finally met a pilgrim.

After another ten days or so, a voice called out, "Brother, I, Old Sun, am here!"

Ling Chi finally met Sun Wukong again, who had become a Buddha.

After becoming a Buddha, Sun Wukong was enveloped in Buddhist light, so clean that there wasn't a single flea on him, and his aura was much stronger than before.

Some time ago, Ling Chi asked the Lishan Old Mother, who had transformed into an old woman, what her strength was when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

The Old Mother of Lishan said, "He is nothing more than a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

This statement confirms that from beginning to end, Sun Wukong was caught in conspiracies and whirlpools, and the ultimate beneficiary was Buddhism. With the eastward transmission of Buddhism, it began to spread rapidly in the East, and the number of believers continued to grow, remaining the faith of countless men and women to this day.

However, Sun Wukong now is definitely above the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and has probably already obtained the Daluo Dao Fruit and become a Daluo Golden Immortal.

However, this has nothing to do with him. He and Sun Wukong are friends, not enemies. The stronger Sun Wukong is, the better.

"Great Sage, you have attained enlightenment! Congratulations!" Ling Chi said with a smile. "How does it feel to become a Buddha?"

Sun Wukong scratched his head and chuckled, "Everything is fine, except that you're too clean. There isn't even a flea on you, which makes me, Old Sun, quite uncomfortable."

Ling Chi laughed and shook his head: A monkey is a monkey!

"Stop with the nonsense, brothers! Quickly prepare a table of good wine and food. Today, I, Old Sun, and my brothers will not leave until we're drunk!" Sun Wukong urged hastily.
