Chapter 203, Jin Gong Huang Po, Five Qis Return to Origin
The miraculous event of Wukong transforming himself into rivers and crossing the Uttarakuru Continent quickly swept across the entire world like a gust of wind.

Above the heaven.

Amidst the clouds and mist, all the gods gathered in the Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the gods who were discussing things below.

Taibai Jinxing was the first to step out, bowed and said:

“Your Majesty, Sun Wukong’s transformation into a river to cross the Northern Continent is truly an astonishing act. He stopped the war with his own strength. His courage and responsibility are rare even among the gods in my heaven.”

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li frowned slightly and continued:
“Having said that, Sun Wukong has always acted unconventionally. Although his actions temporarily brought peace to Northern Juluzhou, he also integrated himself with the power of the four seas, greatly increasing his strength.

If he has any evil thoughts in the future, it may pose a threat to the Heavenly Court.”

Nezha hurried forward, knelt on one knee, and said anxiously:

“The Monkey King has always cared about the people. He did this only to practice the idea of ​​harmonious coexistence between humans and demons and to bring peace to the world. He is also loyal to the Heavenly Court. All the previous incidents were misunderstandings.”

Taishang Laojun smiled and said:

“What Nezha said makes sense. Although Sun Wukong is unruly by nature, his heart is pure and kind.

He trapped himself in Uttarakuru in such a decisive way, which shows his determination to sacrifice for his ideals.

If we can take this opportunity to guide the demon race onto the right path, it will be a good thing for the Heavenly Court.”

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said with a deep gaze:

“Let’s observe his movements first. Pass the order down to closely monitor the situation in Northern Juluzhou. If Sun Wukong makes any unusual movements, report them in time.”

A teahouse on earth.

A scholar in a long gown, holding a folding fan, shook his head and said:

“I heard that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, in order to stop the Bull Demon King from fighting him, resolutely turned himself into a river and split the Northern Continent into two.

Such a benevolent and righteous act is truly moving and touching. Throughout history, how many people can do this?”

A burly man next to him took a sip of tea and said loudly:

“That’s right! I also heard that the Monkey King has always advocated for the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons, and wants to break the old rule of the demons where the strong prey on the weak.

For this reason alone, I think he is a great hero.”

A white-haired old man stroked his beard and said with emotion:

“Alas, if the world could really be like the Monkey King’s wish, and the human race and the demon race would no longer fight each other, then the people would be free from the suffering of war, which would be a blessing for all people.

But how could the Bull Demon King give up so easily? I am afraid there will be another fierce battle in the future.”

At this time, a young man stood up, his eyes full of excitement, and said loudly:

“No matter how powerful the Bull Demon King is, with the Monkey King here, we can ensure peace.

If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Uttarakuru to see with my own eyes the rivers transformed by the Great Sage and feel the grace of the Great Sage. “

Everyone around nodded, and their admiration for Wukong grew stronger. The teahouse was filled with voices of praise for Wukong.

In the north of Uttarakuru, in the camp of Bull Demon King.

The atmosphere in the tent was depressing, and the Bull Demon King’s face was gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm.

Demon King Peng, Demon King Jiao and other demon kings sat around in silence. The atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Demon King Peng finally couldn’t help it, slammed the table and said angrily:
“Brother, that Sun Wukong is really too much! He uses the river as a boundary, which clearly shows that he doesn’t take us seriously. How can we swallow this?”

The Bull Demon King snorted coldly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and said:
“Humph, this monkey actually dared to humiliate me like this. How could I, the Bull Demon King, be afraid of him? But he is now connected to the power of the four seas, and his strength is unpredictable. We must not act rashly.”

The Jiao Demon King frowned and said slowly:
“Brother, I think we need to think about this matter carefully. Now that Sun Wukong’s deeds have spread among the demons, many demons are yearning for him. If we forcefully attack at this time, I’m afraid we will lose the support of the people.”

The Rhino Demon King also echoed:

“That’s right, big brother. Sun Wukong’s ideas seem to be very popular in the minds of some low-level demons.

If we want to regain the initiative, we cannot rely on force alone. We need to think long-term and come up with a way to suppress Sun Wukong and win the hearts of the people. “

The Bull Demon King gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
“For now, keep your troops in place. Pass down the order to strengthen the control over the little demons in the territory and strictly prohibit them from spreading Sun Wukong’s words.

Meanwhile, you all go back and figure out how to crack his method of turning the river into a boundary.”

In short.

The name of Wukong the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

But in such a way.

It spread quickly throughout the three realms.

Everyone knows that a being who hopes for harmony between humans and demons has been born.

As time passed, peace gradually returned to the two sides of the river that crossed Uttarakuru Continent.

Under the influence of Wukong, the people and the demons on the south bank tried to live in harmony. Although there were occasional frictions, they were generally at peace.

The river that Wukong transformed himself into is rushing endlessly, like a protective barrier or a lonely watchman.

Wukong placed his soul in the river. Although he controlled the vast power of the four seas, he felt more and more bored day by day.

Although the surging river is majestic, it cannot relieve his inner loneliness and desire for freedom.

He used to travel freely around the world, but now he is trapped in this corner of the river. Although he does this for his ideals, he can’t stand it after a long time.

One day, Wukong was feeling very bored and saw a nimble water bird flying across the river. He was inspired and used his magical powers to transmit a thought into the water bird’s mind.

The water bird seemed to be endowed with spirituality in an instant. It flapped its wings and flew high, rushing towards the direction of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

The water bird traveled day and night and finally arrived at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

It circled and chirped in front of the familiar cave, attracting the boy in the cave to come out and check.

The boy saw the water bird and was wondering why it suddenly spoke in human language:

“Go and invite the Holy Lord Zhaohou and tell him that his disciple Sun Wukong has important matters to discuss with you in Northern Juluzhou.”

The boy was shocked and hurried into the cave to report.

Not long after, Lin Yuan walked out of the cave. He was wearing a plain robe and had a calm look, but his eyes were full of insight.

He looked at the water birds and sighed slightly:

“This monkey finally couldn’t stand the loneliness.”

After saying this, he waved his sleeves lightly, and turned into a stream of light, following the water birds to Uttarakuru.

A moment later, Lin Yuan arrived at the river surface transformed by Wukong.

The river surged, and Wukong’s spirit condensed into a human form and appeared before the master. He bowed respectfully and said:

“Master, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I really miss you. I have been trapped here for a while and feel depressed. I specially ask you to come here.”

Lin Yuan looked at Wukong and said:
“You monkey, since you made this decision in the first place, how can you be so impatient? Although this act of turning yourself into a river is earth-shattering, it also ties you up here. Do you regret it?” Wukong scratched his head and smiled bitterly:
“Master, I don’t regret it. It’s just that looking at the river every day and thinking about the outside world, I can’t help but feel a little itchy.

Moreover, although I have used the river as a boundary to temporarily stop the dispute, the Bull Demon King will certainly not give up. I don’t know what to do.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said:
“I am very pleased that you can think about the people of the world. As for the Bull Demon King, his obsession is too deep to be resolved for the time being.

But you need to understand that true peace does not rely solely on force and barriers, but also on the change of people’s hearts. You need to wait patiently for the right time and guide all parties towards true harmony. “

Wukong thought for a moment and said:

“Master, I understand. But the process of waiting is really painful.”

Lin Yuan smiled and said:

“Things in this world cannot be rushed. You should stay here and use this time to comprehend the integration of yourself and the power of the four seas and improve yourself.

Maybe, when you are more mature, you will be able to resolve all these disputes.”

After hearing what his master said, Wukong scratched his head:
“Master, how long should I stay here?”

Lin Yuan calculated with his fingers and said:
“It has been hundreds of years since you came here. When the five hundred years are up, there will be a turning point.”

Wukong was stunned when he heard this:
“Five hundred years?”

He thought of the other life his master had let him experience.

During that period of his life, he was suppressed by the Buddha for five hundred years and had no freedom.

Is it
What is the deep meaning behind this?
Wukong suddenly understood and bowed respectfully again, saying:
“Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will definitely keep them in mind.”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, turned into a breeze, and disappeared into the sky.

Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Day and night, Wukong was immersed in the integration and perception of the power of the four seas.

The surging river had long become a part of his body and soul. His control over this tremendous force became increasingly handy, and he had already reached the point where he could do whatever he wanted.

Today’s Wukong is so powerful that it is awe-inspiring. With just a wave of his hand, he can cause rivers to surge and the four seas to echo, as if he has become the master of the water veins of heaven and earth.

He often thought back to the brutal war of that year. Judging from his current strength, if he faced the Bull Demon King’s side again, he was confident that he could suppress them like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves with his own strength, leaving them powerless to resist.

Just as Wukong was thinking to himself, a strange wave suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and Lin Yuan quietly descended in front of Wukong like a breeze.

He looked at Wukong, his eyes full of relief, and said:

“Wukong, the five hundred years have come, and you have lived up to your master’s expectations.”

Wukong bowed respectfully and said:
“Thank you for your concern, Master. I have worked hard day and night and have now completely mastered the power of the four seas.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and waved his hand gently. In an instant, a gentle yet irresistible force enveloped Wukong. In the blink of an eye, Wukong entered a mysterious space.

The space was in chaos and filled with strange light, as if time and space had lost their meaning here.

Lin Yuan’s voice echoed in this space:

“Wukong, you have already tied up your mind, united your heart, and tamed your mother. Now you have merged the power of the four seas, and your strength has become unprecedentedly strong.

At this moment, I will teach you the cultivation contents of both the Golden Realm and the Yellow Realm.”

Wukong was overjoyed and quickly concentrated his mind and prepared to listen to his master’s teachings.

Lin Yuan continued:

“In the Golden Realm, there is the Taibai Sharp Gold Sutra. It is said that the golden hoop stirs up the underworld, and the fiery eyes illuminate the universe. You need to break through the Five Elements Mountain and unlock the Six-Character Mantra Seal.”

“There is a book called “Wu Ji He Dan Shu” in Huang Po Realm, which says that distracting thoughts are buried in the flowing sand river, and the true nature is refined in the glass cup. You need to recast the “Tong Tian River” and harmonize the energy of the four symbols.”

“In this way, with the mind and thoughts in a trance, the Golden Father, the Wooden Mother, and the Yellow Mother can transform and transform, then you can try the Five Qis Returning to the Origin and ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

“For details, go and experience it!”

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

Wukong only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and he was already in this strange world.

He felt his body returning to normal, no longer bound by the river water. The long-lost sense of freedom made him feel comfortable all over. His strength was not reduced at all, and he felt even more happy.

However, when he looked around clearly, he saw only the color of Diamond, with endless majesty in the shining light.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a towering Buddha figure standing before him. The familiar face was that of Tathagata Buddha.

In an instant, Wukong understood that this was the beginning of the test. Did his master want him to confront and defeat the Buddha?

“Humph!”

Wukong suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart. Although the Buddha was famous, another experience made him even more powerless to resist.

But he is not that monkey either!
Five hundred years of integration with the power of the four seas have transformed him beyond recognition.

“Tathagata, today I, Old Sun, will fight you!”

Wukong shouted loudly, and the golden cudgel appeared in his hand instantly, shining with golden light, pointing directly at the shadow of Tathagata Buddha.

His aura exploded, and power like a surging river surged out, as if to smash everything in the world to pieces.

The Buddha’s face was calm and his eyes were compassionate, yet he seemed to know everything.

He raised his hand slightly, and a ray of Buddha’s light shone down, like an indestructible wall, blocking Wukong’s momentum.

“Wukong, you know that this test is not a simple confrontation of force.”

The voice of Tathagata came from afar, as if from an endless distance, but it rang clearly in Wukong’s ears.

Wukong frowned and said:
“Not an armed confrontation? What does that mean? I, Old Sun, roam the world and am not afraid of any challenge.”

Tathagata smiled slightly and said:
“Although you are powerful, the resentment in your heart has not subsided and your obsession still exists.

If you can’t truly resolve the inner conflict, what’s the point of defeating me? The real victory is to calm the flames of war in your heart and let all races in the world live in harmony.”

Wukong was shocked and thought carefully about Tathagata’s words.

He remembered that his original intention of turning himself into rivers was for the peace between humans and demons. But now, if he simply used force to defeat the Tathagata in front of him, it seemed that it would not really solve the problem.

“So what should I do?”

Wukong put down his golden cudgel and asked seriously.

The figure of Tathagata Buddha waved his sleeves lightly, and the surrounding scene changed instantly. Countless pictures appeared, including the majesty and solemnity of heaven, the various fireworks of the human world, the disputes and fights among the demons, and the harmonious scene of the south coast of Uttarakuru today.

“You need to comprehend the true meaning of peace in this myriad of scenes and find a way to resolve the conflicts among all races. This is the real purpose of your test this time.”

Wukong looked at the images flashing before his eyes and fell into deep thought.
