Journey to the West: Great Saint Equal to Heaven

30: Chapter 30 Great Saint, I don’t like this… 30: Chapter 30 Great Saint, I don’t like this… Is he really that scary?

Accompanying him for a bit doesn’t seem like something unacceptable, right?

And is the Bluebird that easy to intimidate?

In his presence, the Bluebird is as fierce as a tiger and doesn’t look timid at all.

But in front of Sun Wukong, she changes completely.

He could only sigh, marveling at the Great Saint’s ferocity.

The Bluebird they fled in a panic.

Standing in the air, Sun Wukong laughed and said, “Tell the Queen Mother of the West that Old Sun misses her, and in a while, Old Sun will go to Western Kunlun to see her.”

The Bluebird was shocked.

She quickly said, “How did we attract this monkey?

Quick, tell the Queen Mother to hide all the Flat Peach Trees, they must not be ravaged by this monkey again.”

Bai Yu: “…”

The Great Saint’s peach-stealing ordeal still terrifies those from the Queen Mother of the West’s side to this day.

Since then, it’s been a thousand years since they’ve tasted the peaches of immortality.

If not for the Queen Mother of the West using major means, and borrowing the Soil of Nine Heavens from the Holy Mother, using her powerful mana to ripen a batch of peaches, they would have forgotten what the peaches of immortality taste like by now.

“Great Saint, that incident of you stealing peaches back then cannot be counted as something glorious.”

Lu Dongbin teased.

Sun Wukong landed on Huaguo Mountain, and with a cold laugh shouted, “How is it not glorious?

Would you dare to steal them?

Besides, Old Sun is a monkey; if a monkey doesn’t eat peaches, what should he eat?

To place Old Sun in the Immortal Peach Orchard is to invite Old Sun to steal, is it not?”

Lu Dongbin was speechless, having to admit that the Great Saint’s words did make some sense.

Putting a monkey into a peach grove is like putting this flirtatious immortal in a brothel, how could he resist?

“Here, take this.”

Sun Wukong tossed a peach of immortality over.

Lu Dongbin caught it, took a deep breath, and unceremoniously took a big bite.

As the peach entered his stomach, it instantly transformed into pure, powerful energy that spread throughout his limbs and bones.

Lu Dongbin groaned with comfort, as his injuries rapidly healed.

Bai Yu felt somewhat envious, but just then, Sun Wukong casually tossed another peach of immortality over to him.

“You should also try one.”

Bai Yu caught it, feeling both honored and surprised.

This was a legendary peach of immortality, and moreover, it was the kind that ripened once every nine thousand years.

Ordinary immortals didn’t have the chance to taste even one bite, let alone a Demon King like him.

If he could eat one, he could boast about it for a lifetime.

“Great Saint, is this really for me?”

Bai Yu felt as if he were dreaming.

Sun Wukong took a bite, then with a look of disdain, said, “The taste has worsened by a lot compared to before, not as delicious as the Ginsengfruit.”

Bai Yu: “…”

Lu Dongbin: “…”

All they could do was sigh that indeed, a god outdoes another god, and even a demon could be outdone by another demon.

In this world, only Sun Wukong would disdain the taste of peaches of immortality.

As for the Ginsengfruit, not even Lu Dongbin had tasted it.

Without a fuss, Sun Wukong tossed another peach to Bai Yu, saying, “If you don’t mind, eat this one too.”

Bai Yu quickly caught it.

Disdain?

He was joking; he wasn’t insane.

Two nine-thousand-year-old peaches of immortality could at least increase his mana by five hundred years, greatly enhancing his strength.

Lu Dongbin looked at Sun Wukong with a wistful gaze, wanting to say he wouldn’t mind either.

After eating the peach, his injuries were healed.

Lu Dongbin surveyed the scenery around Huaguo Mountain and sighed, “Indeed a fine place, truly deserving its reputation as the dragon vein of the Three Islands and the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents.

If there were fairies dancing as well, Lu would be more than willing to live here forever.”

Sun Wukong looked amused and said in a quiet voice, “Are you hinting that I should arrange a female monkey for you?”

“Cough, cough.”

Lu Dongbin choked on his saliva.

He hurriedly waved his hands, firmly refusing.

He really couldn’t accept this generous offer from the Great Saint.

“Well, never mind then, my little ones are too young to withstand your ravaging.”

Sun Wukong let out a sigh of relief.

Bai Yu spat out a peach of immortality but immediately reacted, he opened his mouth and sucked the peach back in.

This was a good thing, a single bite was worth decades of mana, it couldn’t be wasted.

His face turned red, the Great Saint really knew how to tease people.

Let alone Lu Dongbin being of the Human Race, with different aesthetics from monkeys.

Even Bai Yu, a Demon King, after becoming enlightened, leaned more towards human aesthetics.

Even if given a female monkey, or even one of his own kind, he wouldn’t be able to stand it.

Sun Wukong chuckled, but soon he straightened his face.

“Are you familiar with the Elder Lord?”

Sun Wukong suddenly asked.

Lu Dongbin was taken aback, how could he answer?

Familiar?

Definitely, because the other was the patriarch.

But to say not familiar, even though he was the leader of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Grotto, he didn’t have the status to claim familiarity with Lord Taishang.

Seeing the Elder Lord was an occasion for reverence.

“Is he still in Doushuai Temple?”

Sun Wukong asked.

Instinctively, Lu Dongbin answered, “If not in Doushuai Temple, where else could the Elder Lord be?”

But he quickly realized something was amiss.

Why should the Elder Lord be in Doushuai Temple?

Just because it was one of his palaces?

Moreover, the Heavenly Court had collapsed, yet The Three Pure Ones did not intervene.

This was obviously problematic.

Could it be that Lord Taishang and the others sanctioned the collapse of the Heavenly Court?

Even, the Great Heavenly Venerate Jade Emperor might have died because of…

At this thought, Lu Dongbin shuddered, too frightened to continue the thought.

Knowing that the Great Heavenly Venerate had achieved the Eon-Indestructible Golden Body, who could have killed him?

His face turned pale, sensing he might have stumbled upon some terrifying truth.

Sun Wukong saw right through his thoughts.

Exasperated, he exclaimed, “What nonsense are you thinking of?

The Three Pure Ones are exalted beings, how could they scheme against the Great Heavenly Venerate?

Dismiss that thought.”

Lu Dongbin’s face showed shame.

He chuckled bitterly and said, “I ultimately do not see as clearly as the Great Saint.”

Sun Wukong’s eyes darted around, and he suddenly said, “Let’s go to the Heaven of Lihen and seek an audience with the Elder Lord.”

“Okay.”

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Dongbin agreed.

He also wanted to know, with the Heavenly Court in ruins, why none of The Three Pure Ones appeared, as if silently consenting to it all.

Going to Doushuai Temple and inquiring was better than making wild guesses on his own.

Bai Yu also wanted to go along; he, formerly a Demon King, naturally didn’t dare to approach the Heavenly Court.

Let alone visit the abode of the Daoist Ancestor.

But Sun Wukong only told him to stay at Huaguo Mountain.

This left Bai Yu somewhat disappointed, but considering he had just eaten two peaches of immortality, he didn’t feel too upset.

Sun Wukong and Lu Dongbin stepped onto the Heavenly Path; Sun Wukong, finding Lu Dongbin’s cloud too slow, grabbed him and flipped a somersault.

“Great Saint, I don’t like this…”

Lu Dongbin’s voice trailed off through the layers of heaven.

But Sun Wukong turned a deaf ear.

Some say, Sun Wukong’s Somersault Cloud was slow, only covering eighty-one thousand miles with a single flip.

But they never considered just how fast a Taiyi Loose Immortal like Sun Wukong could somersault.

Passing through the thirty-second layer of heaven in a flash, they arrived within the Heaven of Lihen.

“Ugh.”

When the two stopped, Lu Dongbin was pale, and he vomited as soon as he opened his mouth.

As an immortal, he was ashamed to have become dizzy from the clouds.
