Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 221 Steady and Too Slow

"Ancestor Hongyun has not died?" Sun Wukong was astonished in his heart, as this was an event that could shake the three realms profoundly.

He quickly viewed the subsequent replies.

Friend Habbach Thrombosis: "It’s not exactly that he hasn’t died, rather it seems that a bit of the True Spirit of Ancestor Hongyun remained undestroyed. After Houtu transformed into the six paths of reincarnation, this bit of True Spirit was reincarnated, emerging from the clouds as Yun Zhongzi."

House-Head Drowsiness: "What you’ve said is not complete, Ancestor Hongyun’s original form was a cloud. After Pan Gu’s failure to create the heavens, a drop of his heart’s blood spilled onto this cloud, which led to the birth of Ancestor Hongyun.

Although Ancestor Hongyun later died, the cloud that had been touched by Pan Gu’s heart’s blood did not perish and even bred new life, hence the Sect of Chan’s Yun Zhongzi, the Sect of Interception’s three Xiaos, and Zhao Gongming, who was transformed from a whiff of Qing Feng on the cloud’s edge."

Little Sea Loves Novels: "This is the correct answer. Moreover, Yun Zhongzi inherited the merits of Ancestor Hongyun, thus becoming the only Lucky True Immortal in the world."

Counting Celebrities Today: "Ah, isn’t this the chance for the Chan Teaching to expand? An unimagined path, it’s too slick!"

I Just Want to Be Silly: "From what you all are saying, Wukong could completely use the situation of Hongyun not being dead to also involve Zhen Yuanzi in the Earth Dao completion plan; that would be solid."

[You have received a new suggestion: Using the fact of Hongyun’s survival, invite Zhen Yuanzi to join the project to complete the Earth Dao. Completing the suggestion can earn you a sixth-tier treasure box.]

The definitive replies from senior netizens, coupled with this new suggestion, made Sun Wukong even more amazed, especially having just met Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao, he hadn’t expected them to have such origins.

The question is, do Zhao Gongming and the others know about it?

After careful thought, Sun Wukong felt they probably didn’t know since he had never heard of Yun Zhongzi and the four external disciples of the Sect of Interception having any private connection.

He viewed other replies.

Rebel of Traditional Ways: "Everyone’s talking about helping the Human Race, but what about the Demon Clan? The monkey belongs to the Demon Clan, not the Human Race."

Subspace: "Strictly speaking, Wukong isn’t from the Demon Clan, but could be considered an Innate Divine Spirit. Divine Spirits of the Vast Wilderness each belong to their own unique clan."

Celestial of the Streams: "Because the path of humans represents all spiritual beings, and as the Human Race is now the leader of all spirits, broadly speaking, the prosperity of the Human Race can drive the revival of the human path.

As for the Demon Clan, after the calamity of witch-demons, they have been in decline, and moreover, there are too many groups within the Demon Clan such as scaled beings, flying creatures, and terrestrial animals, with even more subdivisions unknown; the entire Demon Clan is simply a scattered group, totally incapable of rallying together." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Yinglong in the Sky: "Wait till the day Wukong unites the Demon Clan like Demon Emperor Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi did, making each group sincerely submit, then the Demon Clan might be useful."

[You have received a new suggestion: Unite the Demon Clan, subdue each group, and completing the suggestion can earn you an eighth-tier treasure box.]

"Unite the Demon Clan?" Sun Wukong’s lively eyes twinkled, finding this suggestion extremely appealing.

Moreover, he had been considering the Demon Clan for years and had never lost touch with the Bull Demon King, the Crocodile Demon King, and the Roc Demon King.

There were also several replies about Ran Deng that drew his attention.

Anonymous User: "When Kinnara transmitted the dharma in the Western Cow Heave Paradise, the Buddha of the Buddhist Realm wasn’t Ran Deng, but Uthpala, right?"

Captain Nemo: "Duo Bao could transform into Sakyamuni and become the Buddha; of course, Ran Deng could also incarnate as Uthpala.

Moreover, based on the logic of Ran Deng founding Theravada Buddhism, he indeed was the previous Buddha of the sect."

Triple-Product Expert: "It’s mainly because the world background is different, with so many amalgamations, there are bound to be discrepancies; it’s better seen as a parallel universe."

Using Cheats, Leaf Already Came: "But after all, Ran Deng died at the hands of Wu Tian, saying here that he colluded with the Demon Sect doesn’t quite hold up."

Donghuang Taiyi, leader of the gang: "Indeed, the notion that Ran Deng fell into demonhood is utterly nonsensical. When Wutian occupied Mount Ling, Ran Deng willingly embraced Nirvana and became Shariputra; he left clues for Wukong and led the great counterattack."

"If Ran Deng were on the demon’s side, would he bother causing so much trouble now after being well-fed?"

Luo Moumou, a member: "It’s simple, he was ultimately killed off, plus he already had a feud with Wutian, and after Wutian took over Mount Ling for Axiu, it’s quite normal that he got rid of Ran Deng."

Bug following the official version: "That explains it then, Ran Deng colluded with the demons, which is how he knew Wutian’s weakness, and in a fit of rage, chose to guide Sun Wukong before dying, as a way of exacting revenge on the demon cult."

These responses gave Sun Wukong further understanding and judgment about the future. Regardless of how the Buddha Sect and the demon sect turned out, he first needed to do what he must, enhancing his strength, and perfecting the Dao of Earth and humanity!

Afterward, he looked through some more responses before turning off the Wisdom Platform and immersed his mind into his thoughts.

This trip to the underworld also completed one of his objectives, which was "Inspecting the Underworld, and taking the opportunity to search for the Jinghe Dragon King," earning him a fifth-tier treasure chest.

"Open!" Sun Wukong thought to himself.

[You have opened a fifth-tier treasure chest, congratulations on obtaining the insights into the Dao of Staff (seven layers), Dao of Archery (seven layers), Dao of Artifacts (five layers), and Dao of Formations (five layers).]

Immediately, myriad profound Dao insights surged into his mind, elevating his Daoist realm and strengthening his abilities.

In comparison, an ordinary Quasi-Saint might not see any improvement in their strength for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even a hundred thousand years.

But Sun Wukong was still not satisfied.

"Too slow, too slow!" he scratched his ears and cheeks.

The more he understood this world, the more urgent his desire to increase his strength became.

Sun Wukong continued towards the Bridge of Helplessness.

This visit to the underworld, besides seeking the Jinghe Dragon King, was also to discuss with Houtu’s incarnation, Meng Po, the establishment of a City God system.

Fittingly, netizens had just offered some new suggestions.

Soon, he arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness and met Meng Po again.

"Grandma Meng, Old Sun has brought you some surprises," Sun Wukong said with a chuckle, clasping his hands in respect.

"Just the fact that you didn’t tear down the underworld this time is a surprise enough," Meng Po coughed.

Sun Wukong knew Meng Po was referring to the event where the last dozen Quasi-Saints gathered in the Asura Realm. Indeed, if they had all made a move, it could have destroyed heaven and earth.

He scratched his hand and smiled, "What Granny says isn’t much of a surprise. Old Sun has found a way to enhance the Dao of Earth, so I’ve come to discuss it specifically with you."

Meng Po’s hand, which was holding a bowl, suddenly paused. Her dim and cloudy eyes sparkled intensely, and a terrifying grey mist flickered across her gaze, startling anyone who saw it.

She stared at Sun Wukong, speaking seriously, "Don’t joke with me."

Sun Wukong turned solemn, "Granny, rest assured, I’ve already discussed this matter with His Majesty the Jade Emperor, and he agrees."

He then detailed the concept of the City God system to her.

Meng Po burst into hearty laughter, praising repeatedly, "This method connects the Dao of Earth and humanity, excellent, utterly excellent!"
