Zhou Wu Xian was about to carry out this command.
Behind him, Sun Kong called out to him, adding a few more words.
"Third brother, wait a moment!"
"Besides letting everyone have a feast, remember to tell them to cherish food. Waste is a disgrace. This is all sent to us by tens of millions of common people."
"It is because this great king has accumulated good deeds and benefited the people over the years that we have received this reward. They must not treat it lightly or with disdain."
"Although joining Spirit Mountain doesn't mean we become monks, nor do we intend to become bald monks, we must at least have a grateful heart and a frugal attitude towards food."
"Who knows, perhaps one day when a different kind of Journey to the West battle truly begins and food becomes scarce, they will realize how miserable it is to have nothing to eat."
Sun Kong muttered words that were incomprehensible to others.
Although Zhou Wu Xian was very puzzled and couldn't understand how the vastness of the Immortal Realm, with so much food and meat, could be considered by his elder brother to be in danger of scarcity,
He still, as usual, did not say much and acted accordingly, proceeding to distribute various grains and meats to the million monkeys and their descendants.
"It's still third brother who handles things so efficiently."
"What a pity, even though I swallowed that drop of Pangu's essence blood, I still don't know the whereabouts of the new Six Eared Macaque, nor do I know the whereabouts of second brother."
"Alas, I'll deal with it later. For now, being able to handle this storm is enough."
"Otherwise, being constantly watched by Saints and Quasi-Saints, who wouldn't panic?"
Sun Kong intended to handle this matter optimistically.
He also believed that as long as the Saints and Quasi-Saints didn't believe such exaggerated rumors, he would be fine. He didn't care about anyone else's opinion.
As long as no one dared to trouble him, he was fine.
Unexpectedly.
Just as Sun Kong was preparing to rest for a while before going to talk to the Tathagata Buddha and others about the customization business for the eighty-one tribulations.
The system, there, a new round of rewards arrived.
Ordinary rewards would naturally not make Sun Kong refuse.
But this "reward" was particularly special, no longer from these hundreds of millions of common people or some worthless monsters, but from the Seven Saints he least expected!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for not actively seeking death this time, which has also shocked the Seven Saints, and they have taken notice of you, recording you in their blacklist.]
[Please prepare yourself, as the following are the rewards stemming from the shock of the Seven Saints.]
The system gave Sun Kong a heads-up first.
As if the upcoming rewards would make even it fearful.
Upon hearing this, Sun Kong felt no fear, thinking that what was coming, would come. Death was death, and it was better to listen first than to die cowardly.
He then concentrated and listened.
Indeed, he heard "rewards" that almost made Sun Kong explode!
[Ding! The host's safe return from the void of chaos has shocked the Seven Saints, with the first to be shocked being the Dao Ancestor, Old Ancestor Hongjun.]
[From that moment on, Old Ancestor Hongjun regarded the host as an alternative Sun Wukong, possibly finding the elusive 'one' from the fifty Great Daos, forty-nine Heavenly Daos, and one that escapes, even earlier than him.]
[Old Ancestor Hongjun, considering himself the Dao Ancestor, did not wish to lose his status for this, nor did he want to directly eliminate the host and be criticized.]
[Therefore, he rewards the host with a Purple霄 Palace access pass, which allows direct audience with Old Ancestor Hongjun when he is free, without the permission of other Saints.]
[Old Ancestor Hongjun's current status: In seclusion, cultivating some special technique, suspected to be specifically designed to deal with the host. Please prepare in advance to avoid being killed by the Dao Ancestor.]
The first "reward" alone gave Sun Kong a splitting headache.
It seemed that Old Ancestor Hongjun was indeed wary of him. For this, he not only gave him a pass, implying that if he didn't go, Hongjun would come.
Making Sun Kong even more miserable!
Furthermore, by going into seclusion and cultivating techniques specifically against him, he indirectly warned Sun Kong that if he didn't go, or went too late, or if his explanation was unsatisfactory,
There would be no good outcome!
"To be targeted by Old Ancestor Hongjun so quickly, is it my good fortune or my misfortune?"
"Is this old man forcing me to seek him out, truly intending to kill me?"
"If that's the case, then I, Sun Kong, can only fight back with all my might. At worst, we'll both be wounded, or I'll be wounded and you'll be fine."
"In short, the sin of disrupting the Journey to the West is not something only Tathagata and the Jade Emperor can bear. You, a Heavenly Dao Saint, a spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, are not the Heavenly Dao itself. You probably can't bear it either!"
"Then we'll all perish together!"
Initially, Sun Kong was filled with fear and apprehension at being targeted by Hongjun. But as he recalled the great karma of the Journey to the West, a hint of resolute confidence emerged.
Then, in the next second.
The system revealed the "rewards" from the other six Saints to him. As expected, they were equally shocking and terrifying.
Although the pressure they brought to Sun Kong was less than that from Old Ancestor Hongjun,
They were still unprecedented!
They were as follows:
[Ding! The second Saint shocked by the host is the Grand Pure Saint Lao Zi, causing him to think highly of the host and be extremely curious about your journey.]
[From this moment on, although Lao Zi does not believe the host is the eighth Saint, he has noted you down as a potential true disciple and a potential opponent.]
[He rewards the host with an opportunity to be personally visited by Lao Zi. If the host chooses to meet, Lao Zi will persuade you to join the Human Teachings and work for him. Otherwise, you will be considered a potential opponent by Lao Zi.]
[Ding! The third Saint shocked by the host is the Jade Pure Saint Yuanshi Tianzun, causing him to think highly of the host and be extremely curious about your journey.]
[From this moment on, although Yuanshi Tianzun does not believe the host is the eighth Saint, he has noted you down as a potential true disciple and a potential opponent.]
[He rewards the host with an opportunity to be personally visited by Yuanshi Tianzun. If the host chooses to meet, Yuanshi Tianzun will persuade you to join the Chan Teachings and work for him. Otherwise, you will be considered a potential opponent by Yuanshi Tianzun.]
[Ding! The fourth and fifth Saints shocked by the host are the Western Teachings' Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist, causing them to think highly of the host and be extremely curious about your journey.]
[From this moment on, although they do not believe the host is the eighth Saint, they have noted you down and will treat you as a more effective disciple than the Tathagata Buddha.]
[He rewards the host with an opportunity to be personally visited by the Two Sages. If the host chooses to meet, the Two Sages will persuade you to undergo training to grow stronger, otherwise, you will be abandoned by the Two Sages.]
Sun Kong was already astonished after hearing only half of it, his mind swelling.
It wasn't for any other reason.
It was purely because the hidden motives of these Saints filled him with dread.
Not to mention Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Lao Zi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Two Sages of the Western Teachings, none of them were easy to deal with.
"Will they really all demand an immediate decision from me, or else they'll destroy me?"
As Sun Kong pondered this with dismay,
The latter half of the rewards also arrived!
