Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 118: Yellow Wind Great Sage
Xiao Chen looked at the peaches in front of him and felt a little dazed for a moment.

I still remember that when I was in Huaguo Mountain, I was still a happy little toad under the Water Curtain Cave. My biggest dream was that one day this monkey would give me a peach.

He thought he gained immortality after eating the peaches, and then he married a bunch of beautiful wives and concubines and lived a free and easy life.

Now, the monkey really brought him peaches, a pile of them.

Immortality, a beautiful wife and concubines, are right before your eyes.

But more than a hundred years have passed, and he has unknowingly fallen deeper and deeper into this world.

"Toad, you haven't been to heaven, and you know about peaches?"

"It was only after I became the Great Sage Equaling Heaven that I realized there were such good things in the Three Realms."

Sun Wukong was originally making faces and wanted to show off in front of Xiao Chen, but he was stunned when he heard this and asked in surprise.

"Hehehe, Monkey, I have traveled all over Xiniu Hezhou over the years, and I have indeed gained a lot of knowledge."

"I've heard of the peaches, too."

Xiao Chen came back to his senses and explained with a smile.

As he spoke, Xiao Chen glanced at the big sack and roughly counted that there were more than fifty peaches in it. For a moment, he didn't know how many peaches the monkey had stolen.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask: "Monkey, how did you get these peaches? How many have you eaten?"

"Hehehe, I didn't actually eat much."

Sun Wukong waved his hands, smiled, and then recounted his own experience:
"How did you get it?"

"Speaking of which, after I ascended to heaven, the Jade Emperor first gave me the title of 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven'. Not long after, he built a Great Sage Equaling Heaven Palace for me next to the Peach Garden and asked me to manage the Peach Garden."

"I heard from the landowner of the Peach Garden that eating these peaches can make one immortal, live forever, and live as long as heaven and earth."

"I picked a few to taste first. These peaches are really delicious. Eating them can increase your magical power. They are really a good treasure."

"I'll have a good meal for a few days, and then I'll pick some big fruits for you to taste."

"A monkey is in charge of the Peach Garden. How can we prevent a monkey from eating peaches?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen sighed in his heart.

However, this monkey has always been a very smart person. Even if he steals something, he will not easily leave any traces. How did he get discovered later?

Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask in confusion: "By the way, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Sun Wukong saw Xiao Chen's worry, waved his hand, and said seriously:

"It's okay, it's okay. I've counted them. There are 3,600 peach trees, and each tree has 300 to 400 peaches."

"There are more than one million peaches in the entire Peach Garden."

"Even if I eat a few a day, it's not much, so you can't notice it."

"More than one million peaches..."

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.

So it seems that the monkey actually didn't eat many peaches.

Even if the monkey eats ten peaches every day for half a year, that would only be 1,800 peaches.

The monkey did nothing every day but eat peaches. He ate a hundred peaches a day, and after half a year, he only ate eighteen thousand peaches.

How many years would it take the monkey to eat more than a million peaches?

Finally, at the Peach Banquet, the Seven Fairies only picked two baskets of small peaches, three baskets of medium peaches, and no large peaches.

Where did the disappeared peaches go?
Xiao Chen remembered clearly that in the original plot, the Seven Fairies said with great sincerity: "There is not a single big peach left in the Peach Garden. I think the Monkey King must have stolen all of them."

But later, after the Buddha subdued Sun Wukong, at the "Heavenly Peace Conference" held in the Heavenly Palace, the Queen Mother miraculously took out several large peaches and presented them to the Buddha.

The Queen Mother also said it clearly:
"The Peach Festival was disrupted by a demon monkey before, but now I am blessed by the great Dharma of Tathagata to chain the stubborn monkey and celebrate the 'Heavenly Peace Festival'. I have nothing to thank you for."

"Today I pick a few peaches from the big tree with my own hands and offer them to you."

Didn’t they say that all the big peaches were eaten by Sun Wukong?

Where did the Queen Mother's big peaches come from?
Were these giant peaches hidden by the Queen Mother in advance? Did Sun Wukong not finish eating them? Were they left over? Or...? It's worth pondering.

……

"Besides, I always eat them in a mixed way, one from this tree and one from that tree."

"I can't eat from a tree, wouldn't that be stupid?"

The monkey continued to explain with an attitude of "I'm not stupid, I'm very smart".

Xiao Chen has been with this monkey for many years and knows how smart this monkey is. Naturally, it will not make these low-level mistakes.

"This……"

Xiao Chen sighed, not knowing what to say.

Does this mean to persuade the monkey not to eat peaches?
Don’t mention that the monkeys have already eaten it.

There are 3,600 peach trees, more than a million peaches, and this monkey can't eat much. "Quick, quick, quick, stop talking about this, Toad, I just picked these, you can have one first to taste them."

"If it tastes good, I'll bring you some later."

Sun Wukong casually took out a peach from the big sack, threw it towards Xiao Chen casually, and said with a smile.

It was difficult for Xiao Chen to be as nonchalant as Sun Wukong. He carefully took the big peach and held it in his palm to examine it carefully.

The peaches are bright in color, with a faint golden glow on the surface, and they are surrounded by a fairy aura. Their skin is smooth and delicate, like the skin of a newborn baby, and is elastic to the touch.

The extremely rich fragrance hit Xiao Chen in the face, and he felt relaxed and happy just by smelling it, and his mouth was watering.

There are three kinds of peaches.

After eating it, Xiao Tao became an immortal and her body became healthy and light.

After eating the Xia Ju, Zhong Tao ascended to heaven and became immortal, which was equivalent to the effect of Tang Monk's flesh.

If you eat the big peach, you will live as long as heaven and earth, and be as old as the sun and the moon.

Look at the peaches that the monkey brought him. Each one is big and plump. They must be big peaches.

The peaches are here, it would be a waste if you don’t eat them.

Xiao Chen could no longer hold back, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the peach in one gulp. He found the flesh to be extremely delicious, and it turned into nectar after a light chew. The taste seemed to be a fusion of the essence of heaven and earth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.

Xiao Chen couldn't help himself and showed off two more peaches.

These peaches are the most precious treasure in the three realms. Any mortal who eats them can instantly become an immortal.

Xiao Chen directly swallowed three peaches into his stomach. What effect did that have? The peaches turned into a stream of extremely refined and pure spiritual energy that flowed through Xiao Chen's limbs and bones, nourishing his body and increasing his magic power.

Xiao Chen was originally only a step away from the Golden Immortal Realm. He originally wanted to go to Dudi Mountain to retreat and reach the Golden Immortal Realm after managing the business of Sili Zhai.

Right now, he was hit by the power of the peaches again. Now was the best time and he couldn't delay any longer.

"Monkey, please help me protect the Dharma, I'm about to break through."

Xiao Chen shouted hurriedly.

The Golden Immortal Realm is different from the ordinary realm. The breakthrough makes a lot of noise, and there is no guarantee that there will be no danger.

"It's okay, it's okay, Toad, I'm here, don't worry."

"No one will bother you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong waved his hand, stood up, took out the Ruyi Jingu Bang from his ear, threw it to the ground, and smiled confidently.

With Sun Wukong protecting him, Xiao Chen naturally felt relieved. He immediately used the magical power of Qiankun in his stomach to swallow the bag of peaches in one gulp. He hid it first and then set aside a space to store it separately.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen sat in a circle, closed his eyes, and concentrated on reaching the Golden Immortal realm.

……

Two hours later.

In Chechi City and above the Jin Mansion, colorful clouds suddenly gathered.

These clouds appeared in colorful colors such as gold, purple, and blue, like a phoenix spreading its wings, circling above the Golden Palace.

Such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was naturally caused by Xiao Chen's breakthrough to the Golden Immortal.

Such a big commotion was extraordinary, attracting the attention of many immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters near Chechi Country, and blasting out a bunch of powerful people around, wanting to see who it was? Breaking through the Golden Immortal Realm here.

Right now, it is the critical moment for Xiao Chen to break through to the Golden Immortal level. He must not be disturbed, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted and he will even suffer backlash.

Suddenly, a monk in Buddhist robes turned into a golden light and rushed towards the Jin Mansion. It was obvious that he came with ill intentions. It was Monk Zhiyuan.

The last time, Monk Zhiyuan was trapped by Xiao Chen using the Dunlong Pillar, and he was fixed like a statue at the entrance of Foyuan Pavilion for several days before being untied. He was surrounded and pointed at by passers-by, and he felt that he had suffered a great humiliation.

They have been together for such a long time that Xiao Chen naturally knows the location of Zhiyuan Temple. Conversely, Monk Zhiyuan naturally knows the location of the Jin Mansion as well.

"Hmph, you bald ass, you are so rude, take this stick from me!"

Sun Wukong moved and came in front of Monk Zhiyuan, and hit Monk Zhiyuan on the head with a stick.

Monk Zhiyuan waved a demon-subduing Zen staff to resist, but how could he withstand the power of the golden cudgel? Sun Wukong smashed the staff with a powerful blow and hit him on the shoulder.

However, the cassock worn by Monk Zhiyuan was actually an extraordinary magic weapon. In the face of life and death crisis, the cassock burst out with a ray of Buddha's light, which relieved a lot of the force.

Even so, Monk Zhiyuan's left arm turned into meat paste in an instant. He let out a scream and fell headfirst into the clouds, unconscious.

Just as Sun Wukong was about to step forward and hit the old monk to death with one more blow, he caught a glimpse of a monster with yellow hair and a rat-like brain, riding a gust of yellow wind, stealthily and secretly sucking the auspicious clouds in the sky, hoping to steal Xiao Chen's golden immortal luck.

Seeing that this yellow-haired, rat-headed monster dared to steal the golden immortal luck of his toad brother right under his nose, Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong suddenly became extremely irritable, baring his teeth and completely enraged.

Sun Wukong said little, swung his golden cudgel, put on a phoenix-wing purple gold crown, a chain mail golden armor, and lotus silk cloud-walking shoes, and performed the somersault cloud.

Sun Wukong used his clone technique again, leaving more than a hundred Sun Wukongs to guard the Jin Mansion, and took another hundred Sun Wukongs to surround the yellow-haired rat-headed monster. The golden hoop sticks in the sky smashed down on the yellow-haired, rat-browed monster.
