"Oh, for crying out loud."
"Who would have thought that after I just stunned everyone, showing off a little, three of the seven rewards were snatched by three other guys?
"This isn't attracting spiritual energy; it's outright theft! Journey to the West hasn't even officially begun, and you three have the audacity to cut off my path?"
"Do you really take me, the foremost of the Four Great Monkeys, the Lingming Stone Monkey, for a pushover?"
Sun Kong was quite angered by the system's reminder.
He wondered if it was because the targets of his shock this time were somewhat special, involving not only Buddha and the Jade Emperor, who were not saints, but also the Seven Great Sages.
Perhaps this led to the seven rewards being of too high a grade, and even the system that distributed them couldn't quite handle it, allowing three of its kind to swoop in.
Or, it could be purely due to his transmigration and commotion, which caused a change in the Heavenly Dao, making the other three monkeys restless as well.
Limited by his current cultivation, Sun Kong couldn't determine which possibility was the correct one.
However, no matter what, anyone who dared to block his path was wrong, and was courting death.
How could they be so reckless?
Even though Sun Kong himself was incredibly reckless, almost cornering Patriarch Hongjun.
But he was just that double-standard.
He just couldn't stand the idea of a second, third, or fourth person daring to do the same thing besides himself.
Thus.
As soon as the system provided the exact locations of Wu Zhiqi, Zhou Wuxian, and Liu Er, three fellow monkeys, Sun Kong, without a word, decisively piloted his Chaotic Somesault Cloud, its speed amplified tenfold.
He rushed over in a whirlwind!
It had to be said.
Although Sun Kong had lost the vast majority of his spiritual treasures, artifacts, elixirs, and divine abilities, fusing them into a single Journey to the West Gatling Gun, his quantity was somewhat at a disadvantage.
However, in terms of quality, he had gained immensely, winning big.
Just look.
This Chaotic Somesault Cloud was not only ten times faster, covering 108,000 li in a single somersault, but the travel experience was like upgrading from a green-skinned train to a high-speed rail.
Even the system seemed to know his thoughts, fearing that his journey would be too arduous and lonely, and decided to pull a little trick!
A normal Somesault Cloud was just an ordinary cloud.
But this Chaotic Somesault Cloud was different.
In addition to being thicker and having cloud layers that were warmer in winter and cooler in summer,
it had murals of mountains and flowing water.
It also had a band playing serene music.
And a Chaotic Sofa that was comfortable no matter how he lay, for him to enjoy.
Furthermore, there was a noble long table covering a hundred acres.
At one end sat Sun Kong, enjoying supreme treatment.
In the middle were fruits and vegetables, delicacies, delicacies from land and sea, and live broadcasts of fine wine...
That's right.
Sun Kong was not mistaken. The system had actually provided him with a massive 10,000-inch screen. Although it wasn't connected to the internet and he couldn't interact with fans,
it was a perfect tool for live streaming in the Journey to the West era!
Not to mention, four stunning beauties behind him gave him massages, and two rows of ladies in qipao and short skirts in front of him tasted each dish first to test its temperature, humidity, and flavor.
Before it was delivered to his mouth!
The taste was simply one word...
Vulgar!
"Vulgar, too vulgar! System, what were you thinking? Don't think you can placate me with a few beauties. Don't you know that I, brother, am a hero dedicated to promoting Journey to the West and benefiting all beings?"
"To create such vulgarity is a disgrace to my titanium alloy monkey eyes."
"Take them all away. Don't say I don't want to break my vows; even if I did, bring me some Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or quasi-sages, great immortals."
"Looking at how handsome, sunny, lively, and adorable I am, do I look like someone who can be easily dismissed?"
"This is a one-time thing, understand?"
In his previous life, Sun Kong had spent a lot of time on popular beauty sites like C Station's dance section, Douyin's dance section, Kuaishou's dance section, etc., engaging in intense battles.
But after transmigrating this time, he had actually managed to change these bad old habits.
He was left with a nobler, more elegant, and grand ideal of having quasi-sages and Buddhas massage his shoulders!
Unsurprisingly.
These straightforward remarks stunned even the system!
[Ding! Host has shocked this system. Reward obtained: 1 Spirit Mountain Teleportation Scroll!]
[This scroll can ignore distance and all restrictions below the Saint level, allowing direct teleportation back to Spirit Mountain. Extremely powerful!]
"Now that's more like it!"
After stowing the Spirit Mountain Teleportation Scroll, Sun Kong no longer blamed the diligent system. Instead, he increased his speed, flooring the accelerator.
After a few ascents and descents.
He finally arrived at the doorstep of one of the three daring fellow monkeys, Wu Zhiqi, the Red-Haired Horse Monkey.
With the Journey to the West Gatling Gun in one hand, its hundred bullets were loaded in an instant.
He pointed a finger at a gate constructed of water.
"Wu Zhiqi, open the door."
"Your Grandpa Sun is here. Give me back my Biyou Palace Pass. If you don't, I'll blast open your door, and you'll have nowhere to go!"
These words reverberated for tens of thousands of miles, terrifying all unrelated bystanders, who thought a demon had come to collect debts!
...
Human Realm.
Southeast of the Nine Provinces.
Deep within the Huai River, thirty million li deep, a powerful monkey with yin and yang energy flowing in its eyes was joyfully receiving a Biyou Palace Pass that had descended from the sky.
Before he could understand what was happening, let alone what the pass meant,
he was suddenly shouted at by Sun Kong from outside.
He immediately became furious!
"What crap is 'Grandpa Sun'?"
"Isn't he that Lingming Stone Monkey, Sun Wukong? Didn't he self-proclaim himself the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, and go to the Heavenly Court as an official at the invitation of Taibai Jinxing? Why is he still causing trouble here?"
The Red-Haired Horse Monkey, Wu Zhiqi, was ranked second among the Four Great Monkeys. Although he didn't have Sun Kong's combat power, he understood yin and yang, knew human affairs, was skilled in ingress and egress, and could avoid death and prolong life.
He was known as the King of Calculations walking in the human world.
How could he tolerate Sun Kong's scolding?
He grabbed his family weapon, the iron abacus and the fortune-telling banner, and flashed to the surface of the Huai River.
Confronting Sun Kong!
"What insignificant demon dares to cause trouble in my Huai River? Don't you know that your grandfather is the Red-Haired Horse Monkey, the number one King of Calculations in the Three Realms?"
"Believe it or not, I, this King of Calculations, can predict that you won't be able to withstand even one move, and will soon kneel and beg for mercy, becoming my slave for three thousand years?"
Wu Zhiqi sneered, his face full of disdain. As soon as they met, he threatened Sun Kong with these words, as if he could see Sun Kong surrendering the next moment.
This was understandable.
The Great Desolate Three Realms were vast.
They were tens of trillions of li long, tens of trillions of li wide, and tens of trillions of li high.
Although the scene of Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Court besieging Sun Kong minutes ago was grand and even shocked the Seven Great Sages, due to the great distance, not everyone knew about it.
Therefore, in places far from the epicenter of the incident, such as the Human Realm, except for a few quasi-sages or special cultivators,
the vast majority of sentient beings were unaware of this matter, thinking that the commotion was just thunder.
Moreover, the Huai River area was indeed the territory of Wu Zhiqi, the Red-Haired Horse Monkey. The nearby commoners, demons, emperors, and cultivators all admired and respected his physiognomy and calculation skills.
This naturally made him even more reckless!
