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

Chapter 371: Sun Wukong's Internal Support

The Chitie Mountains stand majestically.

The Iron Palace is hidden in it.

Deep inside the palace.

In a secret room, candlelight flickered, the aroma of tea lingered, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

The Bull Demon King stared at Xiao Chen and said in a firm tone:

"I'm calling for external aid...brothers...let's all retreat back to Northern Juluzhou together!"

When Xiao Chen heard what Bull Demon King said, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Bull Demon King is his real elder brother, always so reliable no matter when and where.

This brotherhood is beyond words.

"Brother, that's enough."

"You are a foreign aid, so I am naturally relieved."

"With you here, I have no worries."

Xiao Chen looked at the Bull Demon King and felt somewhat moved.

The Bull Demon King waved his hand, his smile full of generosity:

"We are all brothers, why should we be so polite?"

“As the saying goes: A single thread cannot make a line, and a single hand cannot make a sound.”

"This is not the right way to go alone."

"We brothers are scattered all over the river, but when we gather together we are a ball of fire."

“By uniting together and supporting each other, we can overcome difficulties together.”

At this point, the Bull Demon King changed the subject and his tone became serious:

"But my dear brother, what do you plan to use as your nickname?"

"The louder the better."

"This way, my dear brother the Monkey King can also get the news, and we can come to support him in time and retreat to Northern Julu Continent together."

Xiao Chen heard this, nodded, and agreed:

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

"The matter of command..."

The image of the Great Sage Huang Feng emerged in Xiao Chen's mind. He thought of the Great Sage Huang Feng's "Samadhi Divine Wind" that could wreak havoc in the three realms, and suddenly he had an idea in his mind, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the Bull Demon King and said:

"I have a great general under my command, named Great Sage Yellow Wind."

"You have seen his abilities, big brother."

"Huang Feng is an excellent martial artist, and his magical powers are also strong."

"After he broke through the realm of Taiyi Jinxian in recent years, his 'Samadhi Divine Wind' has improved further and is even more powerful than before!"

At this point, Xiao Chen seemed to have seen the scene of the yellow wind all over the sky, and he continued:

"When this Samadhi divine wind rises, yellow wind fills the sky, the sky and the earth change color, and all ghosts and gods are worried!"

"It can be said that: the world is changing with a chill, and the yellow sand is swirling without a trace. The universe is about to explode, and the vast land is shaking!"

"With this Samadhi Divine Wind, I can cause chaos in the Heavenly Palace and break the defense formation of the South Heavenly Gate."

"If I encounter danger in Heaven, I will let Huang Feng blow out the Samadhi Divine Wind!"

"Give me a chance to escape from Heaven."

"Therefore, if I encounter danger in the Heavenly Palace, I will let Huang Feng blow out the Samadhi Divine Wind as a signal."

"At the South Heaven Gate, if you see a yellow wind rising, it should be regarded as an order!"

"Brother, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King’s eyes lit up.

He had seen the might of the Great Sage Yellow Wind and knew very well that the "Samadhi Divine Wind" was extremely powerful.

He pondered for a moment, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and then he clapped his hands and laughed:
"Brother, this is a brilliant plan."

"Yellow Wind is indeed the most suitable, and it is indeed an excellent signal."

"His Samadhi Divine Wind is extremely powerful. Once it blows, the entire Heavenly Palace will be thrown into chaos."

"As soon as I saw the yellow wind at the South Gate of Heaven, I knew you were in danger."

"When the time comes, I will lead the others to support you!"

"In this way, with this Samadhi Divine Wind, we can not only evacuate smoothly, but also make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and bring glory to our demon race."

After saying that, Bull Demon King's eyes became serious. He then looked at Xiao Chen and asked with a smile:
“However, this is a helpless move.”

"Our goal is, of course, to obtain the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum."

"However, the map of the Heavenly Palace is complex and the security is strict."

"We have never been to heaven, so we don't know what it is like there."

"To steal treasures from the Heavenly Palace, an insider is indispensable!"

"Does my dear brother have any insider support?"

Xiao Chen smiled when he heard this. He had already made up his mind and said:

"I don't know anyone in heaven, I only know monkeys."

"I will contact Monkey first and find out the news about the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum."

"Let's figure it out later."

About the internal response.

Xiao Chen actually had a plan in mind.

He, the King of Golden Horn, actually knew two gods in heaven, both of whom were monkeys.

One is Yuan Hong, the Four Waste Star God, and the other is the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

However, he and Yuan Hong did not have much interaction. They had only met once, and that meeting was not a pleasant one.

He also seized the hilltop from Yuan Hong's son Yuan Tong and had a fight with Yuan Hong.

It can be said that he and Yuan Hong still have a grudge against each other.

Naturally, he didn't trust Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong is not a pushover.

Tianting is Yuan Hong’s territory, and he has many brothers and friends.

If I went to heaven and Yuan Hong found out, the consequences would be disastrous.

Who knows, Yuan Hong might call his friends to pin him down in the Heavenly Palace and then escort him to the Demon Execution Platform.

In this way, Yuan Hong not only got the credit, but also regained the mountain for his son.

Wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?
The Heavenly Court, as a vast and complex divine system, implements a strict system of official positions.

Official positions in heaven are not only symbols of status and power, but more like an invisible net that intricately connects all the gods in heaven, while also secretly dividing them into clear levels and boundaries.

But as we all know, there are many factors that influence official positions, and combat power is only one of them.

Just because you have a high rank doesn’t mean you’re good at fighting or have strong combat power.

In Heaven, whether you are appreciated by the Jade Emperor and whether you are his confidant often has a crucial impact on your official position.

What's more, the official system of heaven is complicated, and it is divided into civil officials, military officials, music officials...

The systems of each department are different, some are operational departments, and some are functional departments.

For example, the Fighting Department and the Thunder Department of Heaven, these two departments are mostly focused on killing and fighting. They are full of brave generals and have strong combat power. They are the main force of Heaven's external conquests.

Wenquxingjun, as one of the seven gods of the Big Dipper, is in charge of human literature, holds an important position and holds enormous power.

However, although Wenquxingjun has a high status in the heavenly court, when it comes to combat power, he may not be able to defeat heavenly generals like the Giant Spirit and the Yaksha General.

This is just like the imperial court system in the human world. Qin Hui was the prime minister, grand tutor, and duke, holding a high position of power. He was able to frame and force Yue Fei to death, but in terms of combat power, ten Qin Huis put together would not be enough for Yue Fei to kill.

In the heaven, it is the same. A higher-ranking official can crush others. Being able to fight is only part of the story. The most important thing is whether you can please the Jade Emperor and be reused by him.

Yuan Hong, his fighting ability is quite good, he can even compete with Yang Jian.

However, in the Heavenly Palace, he was just one of the Four Waste Star Gods, a miscellaneous star god who was not valued and idle.

Although he is powerful in combat, he is of low status.

In the official system of heaven, his power is probably not as great as that of an ordinary star among the twenty-eight constellations.

With such status and position, it is almost impossible for Yuan Hong to get access to such precious natural treasures as the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum.

Therefore, for Xiao Chen, he didn't even consider the line of Yuan Hong.

Not only that.

He also had to be on guard against Yuan Hong and make sure that Yuan Hong didn't find out, lest he get any evidence in his hands and bring himself unnecessary trouble.

"The Monkey King?"

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King smiled and said:

"Brother Monkey King, you are extremely smart and hold a high position in the Heavenly Palace. You are indeed the best candidate to be the traitor."

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since my brother the Monkey King and I got together for a drink."

"If I meet him on this trip, I will definitely invite him to have a drink."

Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile:

"If I meet a monkey, I will invite him to come to Uttarakuru for a chat."

The Bull Demon King echoed:

"When the time comes, I will invite my brothers, including Lion King, Monkey King, Dragon King, Peng King, Hundred Eyes King, and Yurong King, so that we can all get to know each other."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen thought of the original storyline in which the seven great saints of Mount Huaguo have not yet sworn brotherhood, and couldn't help but laugh:
"That's fine. We've all come from all over the world, and we haven't gotten together yet."

"This gathering is also a rare opportunity."

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, it's a good time to get together."

The Bull Demon King nodded, then turned to Princess Halloween and asked:
"Niece Wansheng, have you told Brother Wansheng about this?"

Princess Halloween shook her head, her expression somewhat gloomy, and said:

"My father is just a Tan Dragon King, of low rank and power, and can't help much in this matter."

"He knew about this and was just worried about me for no reason."

"He has become much more haggard because of my injury." "If he knew that I went to the Heaven Palace to steal treasures, he would probably be unable to sleep or eat again."

"It's better not to tell him."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally nodded to show his understanding.

He turned to Xiao Chen, a hint of worry in his eyes.

After all, Princess Wansheng's abilities are average. If she encounters any danger or something goes wrong in Heaven, he will have a hard time explaining to the old Dragon King Wansheng.

Xiao Chen understood what Bull Demon King meant.

He knew very well how much the old Dragon King Wansheng loved Princess Wansheng.

The old Wansheng Dragon King only has this one precious daughter. If anything happens to her, I'm afraid the old Wansheng Dragon King...

Xiao Chen thought about it and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, brother. If anything happens, I will swallow Ao Yao into my stomach and run away with her."

"With my current abilities, it is not difficult to escape from Heaven."

“Although there are many gods in heaven, not many can catch up with me.”

This is not Xiao Chen's confidence. Breaking into the Lingxiao Palace and escaping from the Heavenly Palace are two completely different things.

Whether you can win the fight and whether you can escape are two completely different concepts.

The battle situation is changing dynamically.

And being fast makes you invincible.

Sun Wukong's comprehensive attributes are extremely powerful. He is extremely fast, has an iron wall of defense, has full endurance, seems tireless, and has extremely strong physical attacks...

When he was making trouble in Heaven, Sun Wukong was holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, determined to break into the Lingxiao Palace, with no intention of retreating.

At that time, Sun Wukong gave up his speed advantage and focused on attacking, but was blocked outside the Lingxiao Palace by a group of heavenly generals.

But in fact, if Sun Wukong really wanted to run away, he could easily run away.

But when the havoc occurred in Heaven, many people misunderstood.

In fact, it was not that the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals combined could not "defeat" Sun Wukong, but that they "could not catch" Sun Wukong.

This was clearly stated in the original text:
"When Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, even 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers could not catch him, because he could ride the Somersault Cloud, which could travel 108,000 miles, so the gods could not catch up with him."

Sun Wukong used his somersault cloud to travel a distance of 180,000 miles at an extremely fast speed, like a slippery loach, and disappeared in a flash.

With such a speed...how can the gods catch up?
If you can't catch up, there's no point in fighting.

Who are you hitting? You can only hit the air.

Sun Wukong was so fast that the gods in heaven had no way to deal with him. They could only sneak attack him, surround him or trick him...

Among these three realms, there are very few people who can catch up with Sun Wukong in terms of speed.

The Battle of Huaguoshan is an example.

Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen were fighting halfway when they stopped and ran away.

Erlang Shen searched for Sun Wukong everywhere in Huaguo Mountain, but he couldn't find him after searching for a long time. As the text says: "Everyone was stunned, and there was no trace of him anywhere."

At this time, Sun Wukong had already run to Guanjiangkou, millions of miles away, and was sitting leisurely in the Erlang Zhenjun Temple, eating noodles.

Not only that, Sun Wukong was also in Erlang Zhenjun's temple, where he helped Erlang Shen check the incense in the temple and approved some documents.

Sun Wukong worked for Erlang Shen for a long time.

Erlang Shen just arrived.

It can be said that during the entire battle at the Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong was actually very relaxed and at ease.

Without the help of Taishang Laojun's Diamond Cutter and Roaring Sky Dog, Erlang Shen would definitely not be able to catch Sun Wukong.

It was because Sun Wukong was too fast. If he really wanted to run, Erlang Shen could not catch up with him at all.

So, there is no way.

If you don't limit Sun Wukong's speed, you won't be able to catch him at all.

The same is true for Buddha Tathagata.

Although Tathagata Buddha has boundless magical powers and can defeat Sun Wukong, Tathagata Buddha may not be able to catch up with Sun Wukong.

Monks do not tell lies. This is the Buddhist precepts.

But in order to subdue Sun Wukong, Buddha Tathagata still lied and broke his precepts.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, Buddha Tathagata made a bet with Sun Wukong and tricked Sun Wukong into entering his "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm", setting a trap and catching him in a jar.

After Sun Wukong entered the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm", Tathagata Buddha took the opportunity to suppress him with a palm, and then suppressed Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain.

When making trouble in Heaven, Sun Wukong jumped out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, threw Taishang Laojun upside down, and then escaped.

At this time, if Sun Wukong really wanted to run, he would have every chance to escape the pursuit of Heaven.

But Sun Wukong was too reckless. He just wanted to break into the Lingxiao Palace and seize the throne from the Jade Emperor!
But the purpose of the Golden Horn King was different from that of Sun Wukong. He went there to steal things, not to break into the Lingxiao Palace.

When he was really at his wit's end, he swallowed up Princess Halloween, and when the "Golden Crow Transformed into a Rainbow" appeared, he ran straight out of the South Heaven Gate and escaped.

With the speed of "Golden Crow turning into Rainbow", combined with the "Wind Spirit Feather Robe" made from the feathers of the Great Peng, and his current profound cultivation.

The powerful combination of Jinwu and Dapeng allowed him to reach an unprecedented speed.

Who can catch him?

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Bull Demon King knew that his brother Jinjiao was very fast, so he stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction:
"That's good."

"I'm relieved too."

"Brother Wansheng only has this one daughter, so we, as elders, should take better care of her."

Princess Halloween felt warm in her heart after hearing this, but she was also somewhat dissatisfied with the idea of being taken care of by her "elders".

She muttered:

"Uncle Bull Demon King."

"You and my father are sworn brothers. It is only right for me to call you 'uncle'."

"But King Jinjiao and my father are not sworn brothers."

"I'm still more than a thousand years older than him, so he's not even my elder."

"Let's just talk about our own affairs."

Having said this, Princess Halloween paused and continued:

"You call King Jinjiao your brother, and I'll just call him King Jinjiao."

"This way everyone will feel more comfortable."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King was slightly surprised, and his eyes moved between Xiao Chen and Princess Halloween.

He looked at Xiao Chen, only to see that Xiao Chen was smiling and didn't seem to care about being called Princess Halloween.

The Bull Demon King looked at Princess Halloween again and saw that she had a determined look in her eyes.

"Oh……"

The Bull Demon King nodded thoughtfully, stroked his beard, and said meaningfully:

"To each his own."

"It's better to each his own."

"This way, the generations won't be messed up."

"It will be hard to get along with you in the future..."

Xiao Chen thought of his own Xuanjin Mountain, and instructed Bull Demon King:

"Brother, you also know that I got Xuanjin Mountain by seizing Yuan Tong's foundation."

"Although it is under my control now, it is not yet stable."

"I left the Immortal Huli to look after Xuanjin Mountain."

"If anything happens, please help me take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King waved his hand and said with a smile:
"This is a small matter."

"It's up to Big Brother."

"You will be the same when you return as you were when you left Xuanjin Mountain."

"With Big Brother here, no one can destroy your foundation."

At this point, Bull Demon King suddenly stood up, put his arm around Xiao Chen's shoulders, and admonished:

"But, my dear brother, you must be careful on this trip."

"Brother, I know you are very capable, but there are always people who are better than you."

"In the heavenly palace, there are countless immortals and gods, and it is full of dangers."

"You must be careful and come back safely."

Xiao Chen felt the care from the Bull Demon King, and his heart warmed. He smiled and nodded:

"Don't worry, bro. I will be careful."

At this point, the Bull Demon King smiled happily and said:
"Brother, I am about to get married soon, and I am waiting for you to come back for the wedding."

"You must come back quickly, otherwise I won't agree."

His tone was full of anticipation and joy, as if he had already seen the scene of Xiao Chen coming back for the wedding banquet.

"Wedding wine?"

Xiao Chen heard this, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

"Brother, are you going to take on another new concubine?"

This Bull Demon King has a lot of beauties in his harem.

The Bull Demon King's concubine had a jade-faced fox, and the outer chambers had a cow fairy, a buffalo fairy, and two clam fairy fairies...

There are plenty of them anyway.

In the words of Bull Demon King:

"Brother, I live for the cows, die for the cows, and work hard for the cows all my life."

"No matter who suffers, my cows won't suffer!"

The Bull Demon King waved his hands and denied it with a smile:
