61 -61: As Expected, Here It Comes Again

Sunlight Bodhisattva glanced sideways at Moonlight Bodhisattva and continued, “What else can we do?

We’ll have the East Sea Dragon King send someone to knock on the door another day!”

Although there might still be a possibility of failure, now that they possessed the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, they could come and go to Sun Wukong’s cave dwelling in Mount Huaguo as they pleased, unable to be stopped by anyone.

Moreover, at present, Sun Wukong and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas seemed to be getting along quite well.

He probably wouldn’t refuse the invitation.

Inside Mount Huaguo.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas looked at Sun Wukong, who was drunk as a lord, and couldn’t help but be stunned.

What should they say now?

Just return like this?

At that moment, the voice of Sunlight Bodhisattva echoed in their ears.

“You may return now.

The macaque seems to have the intent to visit the Eastern Sea.

Given this, you need only send someone to Mount Huaguo to extend the invitation again another day!”

Hearing this voice, the East Sea Dragon King felt relieved and immediately replied, “Since that’s the case, we will do as the Bodhisattva says!”

Then, with a smile on his face, he turned to the two monkeys and said, “Then I shall impose on you two to take your Great King back to the cave dwelling to rest.

Another day, my Dragon Palace will send someone to pay a visit!”

The East Sea Dragon King bowed slightly and then, with the assistance of the Tortoise Prime Minister, walked out of Mount Huaguo’s formation.

In this situation, the East Sea Dragon King indeed didn’t know what else to say!

After all, Sun Wukong had already drunk himself into a stupor!

What could they possibly say?

Saying too much might easily expose the real purpose of their visit.

So, they had no choice but to return for now.

Once all had left and the formation had closed again, restoring its disguise and shielding it from probes,

just as the two monkeys were about to help him,

Sun Wukong suddenly leaped to his feet.

This startled the two monkeys considerably.

“Great King, what’s happening?”

The two looked at Sun Wukong with faces full of surprise.

They were, of course, completely unable to understand what Sun Wukong was up to.

Just moments ago he seemed to be completely drunk, so how had he suddenly sobered up?

Was it all an act before?

However, Sun Wukong didn’t immediately answer; instead, his eyes shimmered with a golden light, and faintly, they reflected everything outside Mount Huaguo.

Only after confirming that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had departed into the sea did he finally relax.

“How could your Great King possibly drink carelessly in the presence of outsiders?

Just now was but a ruse to fool those four Dragon Kings!”

Sun Wukong then turned his head to look at the two monkeys.

“Since the Great King wasn’t drunk, why pretend to deceive the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas?”

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the two monkeys were dumbstruck.

But Sun Wukong wasn’t the least bit surprised and said with a smile, “Let me ask you, what relationship does my Mount Huaguo have with the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas?”

At Sun Wukong’s words, the two monkeys looked hesitant and confused, but after a moment, they finally spoke, “None at all!”

“If there is none, then why are the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas coming to my Mount Huaguo, and all of them at once?

Could there not be some reason for this?”

Sun Wukong asked, furrowing his brow.

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the two monkeys, having been under Sun Wukong’s guidance, suddenly caught on and spoke softly, “Does the Great King mean that the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are here to scheme against us?”

“What do you think?”

Sun Wukong gave the two monkeys an ambiguous look and then, in a blur, directly disappeared from the cave dwelling.

Continued to meditate in seclusion.

And those two monkeys exchanged glances, both patting their chests!

“The Great King is truly wise, we must be more careful from now on!”

…

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Sea.

Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva were seated at the head, and just below them were the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

Contrary to the situation at Mount Huaguo, where Sun Wukong and the Four Seas Dragon Kings were treated equally, here the Dragon Kings all stood in attendance.

“Gentlemen, now that the macaque has let down his guard, if this humble monk’s prediction is correct, just give it some time, and if that monkey does not show up, you shall invite him again, and the macaque will surely take the bait.

Then, as soon as he takes the Sea-Calming Needle, Buddhism will surely not skimp on awarding you with merit!” freewēbnoveℓ.com

Sunlight Bodhisattva sat cross-legged upon the Lotus Platform, his demeanor calm, his face filled with compassion.

“Thank you, Bodhisattva!”

Upon hearing these words, the Four Seas Dragon Kings bowed and saluted in unison.

Although their faces showed gratitude, their hearts were not greatly moved.

If Buddhism really considered their welfare, it would be a miracle.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas had long lives and although their cultivation level was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, they were all aware of the character of those two Saints of Buddhism during the ancient Primordial Era.

As for Buddhism, which lacked dignity, they naturally didn’t take it too seriously.

Afterward, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva carried the Lotus Platform and departed.

Time passed, and a month went by.

The Four Seas Dragon Kings did not see Wukong visit.

“Tortoise Prime Minister, carry the Boundary-Breaking Pearl and extend an invitation soon!”

The East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, instructed with a furrowed brow.

Although they had no interest in the rewards from Buddhism, this matter still needed to be attended to, else it could cause trouble.

The next day, above the sea near Mount Huaguo, a humming sound arose.

A Tortoise Prime Minister with white beard held the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, standing above the sea surface, then looked around, chose a direction, and headed towards Mount Huaguo.

In a short while, the Tortoise Prime Minister reached Mount Huaguo and found the cave dwelling enveloped by a formation.

Taking a deep breath, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl in the hands of the Tortoise Prime Minister gleamed.

The Boundary-Breaking Pearl emitted flashing Five-Colored Divine Light.

Under the illumination of the divine light, this formidable formation, which even a Daluo Golden Immortal could not overcome, became as if non-existent, and the Tortoise Prime Minister easily entered the dwelling.

After the past visit of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, the monkeys and offspring at Mount Huaguo were not overly surprised by the arrival of the Dragon Clan, and soon a monkey came out to lead the Tortoise Prime Minister into the dwelling.

However, the one to greet him was not Sun Wukong but Marshal Ma.

“Where is your Great King?”

Expecting to see Wukong but greeted by Marshal Ma instead, the Tortoise Prime Minister was taken aback.

“Our Great King is in the midst of meditative seclusion and may not be able to meet with the Prime Minister.

If you have any message for our Great King, you may tell me, and once our Great King emerges, I will surely relay it to him!”

Upon hearing Marshal Ma Liu’s words, the Tortoise Prime Minister was stunned.

The words he planned to say were suddenly hard to utter.

This was too much of a coincidence.

Wukong happened to be in seclusion at the time of his invitation.

Despite the inner doubts, he relayed the invitation to meet with Wukong as instructed by the Dragon King to Marshal Ma Liu.

After failing to meet Wukong in person, the Tortoise Prime Minister could only slowly trudge back to the East Sea Dragon Palace, dragging his shell away from Mount Huaguo.

Watching the Tortoise Prime Minister leave,

Marshal Ma Liu revealed a smile, “Just as the Great King predicted…”
