Chapter 657: Was Sun Wukong's Havoc in the Heavenly Palace Instigated by Xiao Yan?
Seeing that Luo Feng had guessed the answer, Xiao Yan stopped keeping him in suspense.
[Xiao Yan: That's right, I'm talking about Taishang Laojun. That guy is a top-tier figure in the Heavenly Court, the master of the Doushuai Palace, and his alchemy skills are unparalleled in the Three Realms. His Nine-Turn Golden Pill can make anyone instantly become an immortal, far superior to my Spirit Gathering Pill!]
Sun Wukong looked at Xiao Yan's message, scratched his head, and looked completely bewildered.
He has just come out of Flower Fruit Mountain.
I don't know anything about Laozi...
[Sun Wukong: Laozi? Who's that? I've never heard of him before! And... you just mentioned causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace? Why would I, Sun Wukong, cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace? After learning my skills from Patriarch Bodhi, I want to live a carefree life on Flower Fruit Mountain. What's the point of causing trouble with those Heavenly Gods?]
The group chat was quiet for a moment.
Xiao Yan was stunned when he saw the message Sun Wukong sent back. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
[Xiao Yan: Great Sage, you may not know, but the world you live in is itself a grand calamity orchestrated by sages. The moment you sprang from the crack in the rock, you were destined to be a pawn in this calamity. Even if you don't want to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, you will be forced onto this path in the future.]
Upon seeing the message from Xiao Yan, Sun Wukong's brows furrowed instantly.
He has no idea what a "knockout" or a "chess piece" is!
But Xiao Yan's message made him realize that this matter seemed very serious.
[Sun Wukong: Brother Xiao Yan, what do you mean by that? I, Old Sun, don't quite understand.]
[Xiao Yan: Well... to put it simply, someone is playing a grand game behind the scenes, and you... Sun Wukong, are the most important piece in this game. Your birth, your growth, your apprenticeship, your havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and later your imprisonment under the Five Elements Mountain and your journey to the West... all of this was arranged by someone. You thought it was your own choice, but actually, others were pushing you along...]
Sun Wukong stared wide-eyed, suddenly recalling the words that Patriarch Bodhi had said before.
He has many karmic connections, and he will face a great calamity in the future.
Could it be... that the great calamity Xiao Yan mentioned is the same great calamity that Patriarch Bodhi told him about?
[Sun Wukong: Brother Xiao Yan, do you know... who's behind all this scheming against me?]
[Xiao Yan: The player in this game is a sage from both Buddhism and Taoism. I cannot say, nor dare I say, exactly who he is...]
[Sun Wukong: Why can't I say?]
[Xiao Yan: Saints possess immense supernatural powers. If I speak, they might sense it, and then you'll be in big trouble. Great Saint, all you need to know is that your future path will not be peaceful... The Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect, and all sorts of gods and demons will come looking for you. And the only thing you can do now is to become stronger, until you are strong enough to break this game.]
Sun Wukong scratched his head in annoyance.
He suddenly felt as if he had really been caught in a huge vortex.
Fortunately, the appearance of this chat group allowed him to know these things in advance.
Perhaps he can find a way to break the deadlock from this!
[Sun Wukong: Brother Xiao Yan, what should I do now?]
[Xiao Yan: Great Sage, don't rush. Your most important task right now is to master your skills and improve your cultivation. Once you've completed your training and returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, people will naturally come looking for you. Remember, no matter what happens, don't be afraid. You have us brothers behind you. Although we're not in the same world, I will definitely send my eldest brother to help you if you need anything.]
[Zhu Chen: ???]
Zhu Chen had been watching the conversation between Xiao Yan and Sun Wukong in the group chat.
When he saw Xiao Yan acting all high and mighty when nothing was wrong, but then pushing him to take the blame when something was wrong, he suddenly felt an urge to punch him.
The level of the Journey to the West world is too high; he dares not go there casually now. Just then, the others in the group also chimed in, offering encouragement to Sun Wukong:
[Han Li: @Sun Wukong, the path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens. Since you've been chosen as a pawn, strive to become the one wielding the pawn. When you reach a certain level of strength, no one will be able to manipulate you.]
[Luo Feng: Third Brother is right, Great Sage. Your strength is still too weak. Don't think too much. When you have enough strength, you will naturally see everything clearly.]
[Lin Dong: Great Sage, keep it up! When you're powerful enough, I'll come to your world and have a drink with you!]
[Shi Hao: I'm going too!]
[Qian Renxue: I'm here too...]
Looking at the messages from this group of people, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic spirit.
He clenched his fist and nodded heavily.
[Sun Wukong: Alright, I, Old Sun, will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to the expectations of you brothers. When I become powerful, I'll treat you to the best wine and the best peaches!]
[Shi Hao: I don't want alcohol, I want milk... animal milk!]
[Sun Wukong: I'm a male monkey, I don't have any milk for you...]
[Xiao Yan: Brother Shi Hao means you should find him some female monkey milk...]
[Sun Wukong: A mother monkey's milk? Hehe~ That's easy, that's easy...]
Perhaps because they were amused by what Shi Hao said, the atmosphere in the group chat suddenly became much more cheerful.
However, in the next second, Xiao Yan suddenly came up with another idea.
[Xiao Yan: Great Sage, I just thought of a way that might allow you... and even everyone in the group, to rapidly increase your cultivation!]
[Sun Wukong: What's the plan? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly...]
[Xiao Yan: If you really go to the Heavenly Court in the future, you might as well visit Laozi's Doushuai Palace first. He has countless pills there. Just take a few, and it will be enough for us to eat for a long time. He also has his pill recipes. If you can get your hands on them, I can refine them according to his recipes. After I've refined them, everyone in the group will get a share!]
[Sun Wukong: Alright, I'll remember that. When I get to Heaven, I'll definitely visit that Tushita Palace!]
[Han Li: Great Sage, just listen to Xiao Yan's words, don't take them seriously. He himself just said that Laozi is a saint-level being, and you are like an ant in front of him. You absolutely mustn't act recklessly.]
[Xiao Yan: Third Brother, I was just joking. The Great Sage won't take it seriously, right, Great Sage?]
[Sun Wukong: Hehe, I know, I'm not that stupid as to provoke such a big shot. At most, I'll just steal a few of his elixirs...]
After chatting for a while, Sun Wukong left the chat group.
However, after leaving the chat group, Sun Wukong couldn't calm down.
Perhaps it's because he just tasted the benefits of the pills Xiao Yan gave him, and now his mind is filled with nothing but pills...
"Laozi..."
"If I, Old Sun, can ascend to heaven next time, I must try your Nine-Turn Golden Elixir..."
