Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong's fate-Chapter 66 - Complete Strategy

66: Chapter 66 Complete Strategy

66 -66 Complete Strategy

The situation had rendered both Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva exceedingly troubled.

They now found themselves at a loss as to why Sun Wukong just couldn’t be more cooperative?

They had already set up the Calamity of Measurement for him, couldn’t he just obediently follow through?

“Bodhisattvas, what should we do now?”

By this point, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas couldn’t help but be stunned, and Ao Guang voiced his query.

He was at a loss about what to do next.

After all, the macaque had rather refined an imitation than go through with their plan.

Were they now expected to, like last time, simply drink here, then inexplicably return home?

“Let’s go, we’ll talk back at the Eastern Sea!”

With his mood complicated, Sunlight Bodhisattva did not know what else to do but to head back and make plans.

However, no matter what, they had to get the Sea-Calming Needle from Sun Wukong’s hands.

The East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang, was also taken aback.

“Dragon King, our Great King, he…”

Marshal Ma Liu, who had been leading the way, started to say somewhat sheepishly.

But before he could finish, Ao Guang interrupted him.

“Marshal Ma, I suddenly remembered there are still matters to attend to in the Dragon Palace, so I’ll take my leave now!”

Saying this, Ao Guang didn’t wait for Marshal Ma Liu to respond and promptly left with his Sea Tribe.

In a blink, Mount Huaguo, once bustling with activity, once again fell into silence.

Witnessing this scene, Marshal Ma Liu couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

He had been planning to find an excuse to have the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas leave, but they had left on their own.

It saved him the trouble of talking more.

…

Meanwhile, in the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The atmosphere inside the Crystal Palace was exceedingly oppressive, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Sitting in the foremost seats, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva had somewhat gloomy expressions.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas didn’t dare to breathe loudly, obediently standing off to the side.

This time, Sun Wukong created his own imitation of the Sea-Calming Needle, and clearly, he was no longer planning to retrieve the authentic one.

It swept their plan aside, leaving them at a loss as to what to do now.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas might have not known or even cared, since Sun Wukong not coming for it would mean the least loss for the Dragon Clan; however, it was different for Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva.

They were tasked with this from above.

They had delayed for such a long time already, and Sun Wukong still hadn’t taken the bait, showing even a demeanor that he no longer wished to be ensnared.

What to do?

They also couldn’t force the issue.

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were anxious, fearing the wrath of the two Bodhisattvas might fall upon them.

Naturally, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva would not vent their fury on the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas; they would rather slap Sun Wukong to death if they could.

Unfortunately, they could not.

Sun Wukong was simply too important for their Buddhist fold.

If they dared make a move against Sun Wukong, they reckoned, the Buddha Ancestor and the two Saints would probably kill them instantly.

Thus, while they wanted to trap Sun Wukong, they still couldn’t force him into it.

“The present situation requires little explanation from this humble monk.

I’m sure you all are already aware of what has happened,”

After a long while, Sunlight Bodhisattva suppressed the anger in his heart and finally raised his head to look at the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas with an extremely grim expression.

“Hmm, we have all understood, and we hope for the Bodhisattva’s instructions!”

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas dared not say anything, but quickly spoke respectfully.

“Now Sun Wukong has already begun to craft his own weapon, and that monkey is also using the Sea-Calming Needle as a template.

It must be that he truly fancies the Sea-Calming Needle!”

“It seems that the reason he did not directly go to the East Sea Dragon Palace to take the Sea-Calming Needle was merely out of concern for appearances!”

“Therefore, this humble monk can only hope that you can remove the Sea-Calming Needle and deliver it to the monkey at Mount Huaguo!”

With no other choice, Sunlight Bodhisattva said.

There was no option, this monkey had already come to the Eastern Sea, yet did not take the Sea-Calming Needle.

Now he had even started to forge a treasure himself, and it seemed if they did nothing, Sun Wukong would never leave Mount Huaguo again.

Thus, with no alternative, Sunlight Bodhisattva could only make such a decision.

However, upon hearing Sunlight Bodhisattva’s words, the faces of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas all showed hesitation. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Removing the Sea-Calming Needle was not difficult, but afterwards, who would bear the resulting karmic force?

If it were all to be accounted to the Dragon Clan, naturally they would object.

Although part of the karmic force would fall upon the Dragon Clan if Sun Wukong removed it, that would be only a portion.

Not all of it would fall upon the Dragon Clan.

But if it were removed by the Dragon Clan, it would all fall upon them.

Since the Calamity of Measurement of the Dragon and Phoenix.

The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas replaced Heaven to arrange clouds and rain, and had thus accumulated a bit of merit, enough to offset the karmic force from the past.

Now, although the Dragon Clan’s cultivation level was not high, they had at least regained some vital energy.

If because of this matter, the Dragon Clan was once again punished by the Heavenly Dao, then they would never have a day of rising again.

This matter was truly troublesome.

“Do any of you have objections?”

Seeing the hesitation of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and their silence, Moonlight Bodhisattva frowned and spoke with displeasure.

After a moment of silence, East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang respectfully said, “We dare not, it’s just that we would like to ask the Bodhisattvas, removing the Sea-Calming Needle isn’t hard, but who will bear the resulting karmic force?”

Moonlight Bodhisattva naturally said, “Whoever removes it shall bear it!”

“This…”

Upon hearing this, the gathering of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas became hesitant.

They looked at each other.

Ao Guang furrowed his brows, paused, and then firmly said, “If that’s the case, I beg your pardon, but this Little Dragon cannot do it.

If the Bodhisattva insists, even if you kill us, our Dragon Clan would rather leave the Three Realms!”

The Dragon Clan naturally still had a retreat, the birthplace of their ancestor and the place where the Azure Dragon perished, which counted as a Minor World.

The reason the Dragon Clan did not leave the Three Realms and was oppressed by many Immortals and Buddhas was also because that Minor World, after so many years, hardly had any spiritual energy left.

Being pushed to such a point was no different from entering that world, so the Dragon Clan naturally would not give in any further!

“Audacious!”

Upon hearing Ao Guang’s words, Moonlight Bodhisattva became immediately enraged, not expecting that the ever-flattering Dragon Clan would disobey him!

Moonlight Bodhisattva was about to take action, to kill Ao Guang on the spot.

But he was quickly stopped by Sunlight Bodhisattva.

“No need, no need, it is normal for all of you to have such concerns.

After all, this matter originally pertains to Buddhism.

If we were to let you bear such karmic force on behalf of Buddhism, even I would find it difficult to bear!”

Sunlight Bodhisattva spoke evenly and slowly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas eased a bit, but it was impossible for them to bear the karmic force and remove the Sea-Calming Needle.

“I have a perfect solution…”
