"My dear brother Wu Chao, did you see how formidable Jin Chanzi is? He even managed to recruit the Rose Dragon King! With this, we shall have no worries in the future."
"What did you just say? You suspect you've found evidence that the Five Great Sages are plotting against your father?"
"This is very important, continue. I, Old Sun, am listening. In the future, if I have the chance to help, I will not shy away from death!"
Sun Kong, possessing the Seventy-Two Transformations, naturally also had the ability to multitask.
While his lips were busy praising Jin Chanzi and Chan Master Wu Chao, further solidifying their brotherhood, his mind was utterly shaken by the system's subsequent notifications!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for indirectly and greatly shocking the Rose Dragon King, the entire Rose Dragon tribe, and countless beings across the Three Realms of the Great Desolation, through Master Sanzang, Jin Chanzi.]
[From this day forth, Jin Chanzi has established his reputation, earning the respect of all.]
[From this day forth, countless beings in the Great Desolation will hold the host in even greater awe, as they do not believe Jin Chanzi alone possesses the ability to subdue the Rose Dragon King, but rather attribute it to the host's excellent tutelage!]
[This reward is rather unique, please prepare yourself, host.]
[Reward 1: A hundred and twenty percent loyalty from the Rose Dragon King. With this, neither the host nor Jin Chanzi need to worry about the Rose Dragon tribe rebelling.]
[Instead, it will provide some necessary ordinary muscle.]
[With this, the Pure Land of Sobha can list the Rose Dragon tribe as the foremost among the Eight Legions of Heavenly Dragons, guarding the Pure Land and bolstering Buddhism!]
[Reward 2: The Rose Spear. On its surface, it is an ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure belonging to the Rose Dragon King, but in reality, it is a special spiritual treasure originating from one of the Three Thousand Divine Demons, the Rose Divine Demon.]
[Note 1: Given that the Rose Dragon King will henceforth serve as a guardian of the Pure Land of Sobha, this reward is only for the spear soul. The spear shaft remains with the Rose Dragon King.]
[This spear soul embodies ninety-nine percent of the Rose Spear's power and is the only residual consciousness of the Rose Divine Demon. The host may utilize it wisely and not waste it.]
[Note 2: The host can refine the Rose Spear Soul to directly advance by one minor realm, or combine it with the Holy Water Elixir to recreate a Wu Chao Mountain, thereby solidifying the relationship with Chan Master Wu Chao.]
[If the former is chosen, after utilizing the spear soul, the host will lose the opportunity to seek future karma related to the Rose Divine Demon. Conversely, if the latter is chosen, it may trigger related quests in subsequent tribulations!]
It had been nearly fifteen minutes since the system finished speaking.
Yet, Sun Kong himself was still somewhat speechless with shock.
And for no other reason than the sheer richness of this reward.
Not to mention the Rose Dragon King's two-hundred percent loyalty.
Just the Rose Spear Soul. During their last encounter, he had merely assumed it was an ordinary weapon forged and refined by the Rose Dragon King himself, with nothing special about it.
He never imagined.
After the system's explanation, Sun Kong finally understood. It turned out that this Rose Spear Soul was tied to the karma of one of the Three Thousand Divine Demons, the Rose Divine Demon.
It even presented a choice between two options!
For such a choice, Sun Kong barely needed to think, directly selecting the second option.
Although he indeed longed to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm as soon as possible, he was not in a rush at this moment.
On the contrary, the benefits brought by the second choice were more numerous, greater, and far-reaching!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for selecting the latter option of Reward 2. You may immediately perform the Seventy-Two Transformations, creating seventy-two monkey hair clones. Combined with the Holy Water Elixir and the Rose Spear Soul, you can recreate Wu Chao Mountain.]
[Once successful, the new Wu Chao Mountain will not only be more magnificent and grander than the original, but it will also greatly benefit the relationship between the host and Chan Master Wu Chao.]
Upon hearing the system's words, Sun Kong no longer hesitated. He immediately called out to the still bewildered Chan Master Wu Chao to witness the spectacle.
"What is Brother Sun trying to do?"
"Alas, do not come to these ruins. This Wu Chao Mountain was accumulated by my efforts for thirty million years. It is a pity it was destroyed."
Chan Master Wu Chao was unaware that Sun Kong possessed the ability to recreate Wu Chao Mountain, only thinking he was curious and exploring. He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"Brother Wu Chao, do not be anxious. I, Old Sun, did not come here merely to sightsee. Enough talk, step back a little."
"Allow me to recreate Wu Chao Mountain as a welcome gift."
Saying this, Sun Kong pulled out seventy-two monkey hairs, blew a large breath, and transformed into seventy-two monkey hair clones.
One clone held a bowl of Holy Water Elixir.
He himself, however, clutched the Rose Spear Soul and personally chanted spells, pushing the Holy Water Elixir, which countless people could not even afford a sip of, to its utmost limit!
"What exactly is Brother Sun trying to do?"
"Could it be that he plans to recreate Wu Chao Mountain with this Holy Water Elixir? That's impossible, who would be so reckless... Alas, forget it, I'll humor him."
"Consider it playing a game with him."
Even at this moment, Chan Master Wu Chao still did not fully believe that the Holy Water Elixir could recreate Wu Chao Mountain. However, he did not wish to offend Sun Kong, so he followed his instructions and retreated several tens of thousands of miles.
Sun Kong felt it was not far enough.
He urged him to retreat further.
"Brother Sun, I have retreated another three million miles. Is that enough? You truly don't need to waste the Holy Water Elixir. That is something far more precious than a nine-thousand-year-old immortal peach."
"Wu Chao is not worth such a sacrifice from you."
Chan Master Wu Chao retreated three thousand miles and was still considered too close by Sun Kong. He had to retreat further and further, a total of nine million miles away.
It was at this very moment.
Sun Kong's hand, holding the Rose Spear Soul and the Holy Water Elixir, underwent an indescribable chemical reaction. Instantly, countless golden lights erupted, with beams of light reaching for ten thousand zhang.
Then.
The ground, which had become a ruin, attracted by the golden light, condensed, swelled, and took shape at a speed that would terrify a Sage, forming a mountain!
In less than a quarter of an hour.
On top of the original ruins.
No, that was incorrect.
To be precise, on a foundation that was thirty-six times larger than the original ruins, a mountain far surpassing the old Wu Chao Mountain miraculously appeared.
The new Wu Chao Mountain!
"This mountain's circumference is twelve times that of the original, its area is thirty-six times larger, and its height is also thirty-six times greater, making it almost the tallest mountain in the Northern Continent of Luzhou."
"I wonder if this welcome gift from Old Sun is satisfactory?"
Leaning against the new Wu Chao Mountain, which reached ten thousand zhang in height, Sun Kong grinned at Chan Master Wu Chao, who had just returned and was staring with dumbfounded eyes.
Apart from enjoying the elder brother Wu Chao's gaze filled with admiration,
More significantly, the system had sent "18 drops of Golden Crow essence blood," bringing him a significant step closer to the 108 drops required for the low-grade Golden Crow bloodline!
"Brother Sun... is so powerful. This brother of yours is completely convinced."
"The mountain I worked hard to accumulate for thirty million years is apparently nothing compared to your snap of a finger!"
Chan Master Wu Chao's eyes welled up with tears.
He knelt down and remained there for a long time,
Adopting a ritual of reverence befitting the highest respect, similar to how he had knelt before his father!
...
At the same time.
Countless beings across the Three Realms of the Great Desolation had just shifted their gaze from Jin Chanzi. Before they could even discuss why Jin Chanzi had become so formidable,
They were instantly doubly shocked by Sun Kong's feat!
