Chapter 577 -577 Master was captured by the monster (3rd Update!)

Meanwhile, after relocating Flower-Fruit Mountain to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, Sun Wukong briefed Leng Xuan and others, entrusted Demon Master Kunpeng and Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen to oversee Flower-Fruit Mountain, and then continued riding the clouds towards the Southern Continent. Judging by the journey, Tang Seng and his group should have already passed through the Treasure Elephant Kingdom.

Indeed, as he passed by the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, Sun Wukong made a point to stop and inquire; the city was still abuzz with the tale of the monks from Great Tang of the Eastern Land heading to the Western Heaven to Seek Scriptures, who subdued demons and saved the princess of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom. The King of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom even built a Buddhist Temple in their honor, housing the golden statues of Jiang Liu’er and his companions.

However, unlike in his previous life, this time Jiang Liu’er did not suffer the tragic misfortune of being transformed into a tiger by the disguised monster Quimolong and falsely accused of being a tiger demon. Instead, he, along with Yuan Hong, contrived a plan to capture Quimolong and directly sent it to the Heavenly Court. As such, the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court, who were ready to reap immense Merit and Destiny here, were greatly disappointed.

Jiang Liu’er and his group had left two months earlier, and if everything went as expected, they should now be at Flat Top Mountain. Sun Wukong wondered if they would encounter the Golden Horn and Silver Horned Kings in this life.

Curious, he continued to ride the clouds and headed towards Flat Top Mountain.

Before long, Sun Wukong arrived above Flat Top Mountain, descended from the clouds, and looked down. He saw Zhu Bajie lazily making his way towards Yuan Hong and others at the foot of the mountain, mumbling, “The mountain is made of rock, the cave is a rocky cave, the door is made of iron leaves, and there are eighty-eight iron nails on the door!”

Listening to this, Sun Wukong burst into laughter. That fool must have been sent by Yuan Hong to patrol the mountains and probably took a lazy nap somewhere. Afraid of being scolded by Jiang Liu’er or punished by Yuan Hong, he made up this ridiculous story to deceive them!

In his past life, Zhu Bajie did just that, and it seemed he hadn’t changed in this life either. Once a lazy bum, always a lazy bum, regardless of the life!

Amused, Sun Wukong stayed out of sight, silently observing from the clouds. Watching Zhu Bajie come down the mountain and report to Yuan Hong and the others as he had rehearsed the story along the way, he instantly angered Yuan Hong who swung his iron staff at him twice, whacking the fool until he yowled in pain. Knowing he had been exposed, he didn’t dare to complain but turned around, holding his head and dashed up the mountain to resume his patrol.

The situation was much like his previous life; this time Zhu Bajie went to patrol the mountain and encountered the Silver Horned King and a group of minor demons, who promptly knocked him over, bound him tightly, and carried him away, while the Silver Horned King also cunningly captured Jiang Liu’er and used three great mountains to trap Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong’s power now was much like Sun Wukong’s in his previous life. If the three great mountains could suppress Sun Wokung before, they could naturally suppress Yuan Hong, who was trembling and barely managing to support himself when Sun Wokung descended.

“Great Saint, quickly save me! Our master has been captured by demons!”

“Pfft!”

Sun Wukong couldn’t help but snicker upon hearing this — the situation was all too familiar!

Without wasting words, he simply waved his hand, dispersing the three great mountains back to their places, freeing Yuan Hong from peril.

“Great Saint, a demon disguised as a Daoist just used his powers to bring these three mountains and trapped me. The master must have been captured by him. Please, Great Saint, come with me to help save him!”

After freeing himself, Yuan Hong came before Sun Wokung, knelt on one knee, and pleaded earnestly.

“No, I can’t help you with this matter!”

Sun Wukong shook his head and refused, “This is one of the trials in the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures. You’ll have to save Jiang Liu’er yourself, otherwise you won’t share in the merit! Don’t be discouraged yet, think of a way. Many times, although strength is important, you still need to rely on your brain! I’ll head over to the demon’s cave dwelling and keep an eye on Jiang Liu’er to ensure they don’t harm his life. How you save him is up to you.”

As he spoke, Sun Wukong soared into the clouds and flew towards the flat-topped mountain, arriving swiftly at Lotus Cave. He used his Invisibility Spell and walked in boldly. With his current cultivation strength, he was leagues beyond the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King; how could they see through his spell? Unaware, they were still there drinking and playing games.

“This old geezer is really cunning, just to accumulate the Eighty-One Tribulations, he deliberately sent these two boys to the lower realm to become demons, and these two fools, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, are blissfully unaware that they are just pawns!”

Sun Wukong listened to the boasts exchanged between the Golden Horned King and the Silver Horned King and secretly scorned, then turned and walked deeper into the cave dwelling where Jiang Liu’er was imprisoned.

“Master, even our eldest brother was suppressed by that demon using mountains. I’m afraid this might be the end for us!”

Zhu Bajie was tied up by his limbs and suspended in the cave, his mouth full of sighs and complaints. Sun Wukong, finding it amusing, did not bother with the fool and walked straight to Jiang Liu’er, touched the ropes binding him with one finger, and instantly loosened them, while transmitting a message to Jiang Liu’er:

“Jiang Liu’er, don’t rush to break free, it’s me, Old Sun!”

“Great Saint? You’ve come!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu’er was relieved, knowing that with Sun Wukong there, his life was not in danger!

“Yes, I saw Yuan Hong was pinned under three mountains and I’ve already helped him come out. He is currently figuring out a way to rescue you. Just be patient a little longer! This trial at the flat-topped mountain is one of the Eighty-One Tribulations, and Old Sun shouldn’t interfere too much. Loosening your ropes is just to give you the ability to protect yourself in case of an emergency, so you could escape!”

“Thank you, Great Saint!”

Hearing Sun Wukong say this, Jiang Liu’er calmed down completely. He did not move rashly but instead pretended to still be tightly bound while sitting on the ground, secretly cultivating the Immeasurable Merit Determination.

This Immeasurable Merit Determination was indeed the most suitable cultivation technique for Tang Seng, whose ten lifetimes as a virtuous person had accumulated enough merit that even without the Journey to the West, he could have elevated his cultivation to a Quasi-Saint level. Since receiving this cultivation technique at the Golden Mountain Temple, Jiang Liu’er had not been lax at all, practicing diligently whenever he had time, which is why he now possessed the cultivation strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and was close to breaking through to the Taiyi Scattered Immortal.

The Immeasurable Merit Determination had another wonderful use: it didn’t show any outward signs of strength, so others couldn’t tell the level of one’s cultivation—probably only Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Divine Eye could see through it.

Sun Wukong then invisibly sat beside Jiang Liu’er, patiently waiting for Yuan Hong’s rescue. Little did he know, an unexpected twist was about to occur!
