The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Page 461

The monkey's face appeared slightly red.

"Great Sage, here you go."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took out the Journey to the West book that Hanabi had bought earlier and handed it to the monkey.

The monkey took the book, opened it, and began to read it carefully.

"This writer does a good job. I am indeed born of this earth. Oh, he even wrote about my time wandering the human world. Not bad, not bad."

The monkey cracked open peanuts and melon seeds while flipping through Journey to the West.

"Great Sage, is this chapter true? Did you really encounter Immortal Baizhi in front of the Cave of the Crescent Moon and Three Stars?"

When the monkey turned to the chapter about learning skills, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly asked a question.

"of course."

Recalling the past, the monkey smiled and said, "You know what, when I first met Xiaobai, she looked completely dazed and confused, and she even had horns on her head. I thought she was some kind of silly roe deer that had become a spirit."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head. She really wanted to say that even if it's a roe deer, only the males have antlers.

"You little rascal, what's with that expression? I was just naive back then."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's strange look, the monkey couldn't hold back any longer and tried to explain.

"Ah, right, right, Great Sage, please continue."

Fujimaru Ritsuka coughed lightly, no longer provoking the monkey.

Seeing that Gudako had let the matter drop, the monkey stopped pursuing it and continued, "Back then, I saw that she was a demon like me. She came here because she had heard rumors and wanted to become a disciple."

"So I took her to pay my respects at the mountain gate, hoping that my master would accept us as his disciples."

"Then?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked on with curiosity. These details weren't described in the book. In other words, the monkey passed the test and became a disciple. The description of Bai Zhi's matter wasn't particularly detailed.

"My master said my time hadn't come yet, and to Xiaobai he said her soul wasn't stable. Hey, I thought Xiaobai was like those folk legends, her soul had been taken away by ghosts and monsters. I almost went down the mountain to find a Taoist priest to call her soul back."

"So the Great Sage has this side to him?"

The monkey shrugged. "What else? Do you think I was born with knowledge? But speaking of which, Little White is really amazing. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything all these days and nothing has happened."

"Long afterward, after Xiaobai regained his senses, Master appeared. After he came out, Master accepted me, but not Xiaobai. Instead, he treated me as a young friend."

"Thinking about it makes me really jealous. My master is so strict with me, but he's so gentle with Xiaobai."

"Is it true that, as described in the book, Immortal Baizhi, like the Great Sage, learned the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to a passage in the book and said.

"Yes, Xiaobai learns things faster than me. Master says it's because she has many incense offerings and is blessed by heaven."

At this point, the monkey sighed, "But Little White is indeed more sensible than me. After I learned that magic, all I knew was how to show off. Little White taught me to hide my sharpness and not to reveal my talents."

"Unfortunately, I was too arrogant back then and didn't take Xiaobai's words to heart at all. During one of my fellow disciples' demonstrations of magic, we were caught red-handed by our master. Alas..."

Seeing that the monkey was feeling sad, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately ordered a few more jugs of sake.

The monkey didn't refuse and chugged down the whole pot. "That's how my master entrusted me to Xiaobai. It's just a pity that although I was expelled from the sect, I felt that I had all the skills in the world and could go anywhere."

"Perhaps Xiaobai also saw through my nature. When I was the Demon King, she did not visit. When I saw her again, she had been summoned to heaven and became the True Lord of Abundant Harvest and Plenty of Fortune, while I..."

The monkey smacked its lips, seemingly reluctant to say those words.

Looking back now, he was indeed too sharp and outspoken. There were indeed capable people in the Heavenly Court, not just good-for-nothings as he thought.

If he had used his skills to spread benevolence among the people, he wouldn't have been appointed as a lowly stable boy after being summoned to the Heavenly Court because he lacked merit and offerings.

Looking back, they've really squandered a winning hand.

"cough……"

Gudako also turned her head away, not daring to mention those words. Anyone who has read Journey to the West knows that if those words were uttered, the monkey would probably immediately transform from a ruler into a berserker.

However, she also became increasingly curious about Bai Zhi. Hua Huo had mentioned before that Bai Zhi was the deputy general of the Immortal Ship, with hundreds of millions of immortal beings under her command. In Journey to the West, she was also very close to the Monkey King.

No wonder Bai Zhi's strength is so extraordinary.

If this were in her world, she might have a Grand Spirit Origin with such legendary status.

"I wish I could summon Bai Zhi someday."

Gudako sighed. Chaldea is facing more and more troubles and its resources are becoming increasingly scarce. If a powerful Servant could arrive, conquering the Lostbelt worlds would probably be much, much easier.

However, she also noticed some things mentioned in this Journey to the West.

"Great Sage, why is Bai Zhi so close to Nezha and Yang Jian?"

She pointed to the sentence that was mentioned briefly: "Bai Zhi had an extremely close relationship with Yang Jian and Nezha, and was considered their second parents."

"Oh, Xiaobai resurrected Brother Yang's mother. As for Brother Nezha, I really don't know much about it. Back then, Brother Nezha was very mysterious, so I didn't feel comfortable asking."

"what?"

Gudako was stunned for a moment, "Bai Zhi resurrected Yang Jian's mother??"

Anyone who has studied mythology even a little knows that Yang Jian's mother was the Jade Emperor's sister, and in most legends, she died. Whether it was being scorched to death by the Golden Crow or being reduced to ashes by the power of Peach Mountain when it was split open, this is basically the ending.

When such a deity dies, it's like a Heroic Spirit on the Throne of Heroes erasing themselves; resurrection is practically impossible.

Chapter 825 Give this monkey a good beating!

"Yes, Xiaobai is amazing, isn't she? Her reputation for abundance and grace is well-deserved. Even the Jade Emperor himself probably couldn't do something like that."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's surprised expression, the monkey felt a sense of satisfaction. Although it wasn't a compliment, what was the relationship between him and Shiro? Complimenting Shiro was essentially a compliment to him.

"It's very impressive..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded subconsciously.

Bai Zhi actually managed to do such a thing; no wonder the book mentions that Bai Zhi and Yang Jian had an extremely good relationship.

Suddenly, she paused, thinking, if Bai Zhi could resurrect the Jade Emperor's sister from mythology, then wouldn't that mean...?

She recalled how, during the battle against Goetia in the Final Singularity, Dr. Roman, in his identity as Solomon, activated his first Noble Phantasm, "The Time for Farewell Has Come, I Abandon the World with This," completely annihilating his own existence, including the records of the Throne of Heroes, thus preventing the burning of humanity.

Logically speaking, this is essentially no different from the concept of the soul being scattered in Eastern mythology.

But Bai Zhi was able to bring back the Jade Emperor's sister whose soul had been scattered. If Bai Zhi could use that ability... could she bring Dr. Roman back again?

Her heart began to pound violently. At that moment, she really wanted to go to Bai Zhi and beg her to bring Dr. Roman back.

She was willing to give everything for this.

"Hey, little one, what's up? Do you have someone you want to resurrect?"

The monkey immediately understood why Fujimaru Ritsuka had suddenly lost in thought.

But this is not surprising. Among all living beings, who doesn't have some regrets? Before he achieved enlightenment, when he was mingling in the mortal world, he had seen far too many things like this.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded shyly.

"Then I think it will be a bit difficult for you. Under normal circumstances, Xiaobai might be able to refine the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill to pull the person back from the underworld, but if the soul is scattered, it will probably not be easy to bring it back."

Although he had little exposure to magic due to different focuses, he was still very clear about some basic knowledge. If it were really that easy, Yang Jian would have done it himself, and there would have been no reason for him to have such a long-standing feud with his uncle, the Jade Emperor.

“I once heard Xiaobai say that the world allows consciousness to match new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness. This statement is very apt.”

"Although Xiaobai is very kind, it would be impossible for her to do this without paying a huge price."

"what……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent for a moment, but she was not disappointed. It was obvious that such a thing that defied the heavens would not be easy to do. It would be really strange if there were no price to pay.

She shook her head, then smiled again. "Great Sage, this is just a little fantasy of mine. Let's continue reading."

The two then continued reading the chapters of Journey to the West until the very last part.

"Hey, this book is written at a very opportune time. I happened to be near Jindu Mountain when I came down here. Although there's nothing more to it, I guess it's going to be another day of great victory for me."

"Uh……"

Looking at the confident monkey, Fujimaru Ritsuka hesitated, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything else.

But the monkey became interested and stood up from his seat. "You've had this book for a while now, haven't you? The author should have finished writing the next part by now. How about we go buy it?"

He found it quite interesting to look at his story from other perspectives.

As for why there's a book called Journey to the West here, isn't that normal? In the infinite worlds, the so-called stories are just things that happened in another world, and the information was transmitted to some people's minds and became inspiration.

"Great Sage, I don't recommend... never mind."

Fujimaru Ritsuka still didn't say it out loud. After all, the monkey was still very proud. If she said that in the original story, he was beaten to a pulp, the monkey would probably not be convinced.

She had no choice but to take the monkey to the vendor who had sold her Journey to the West book before.

"Oh my, isn't this the young lady from the other day? You've become addicted to Journey to the West, haven't you? Hehe, just in time, a new chapter has just arrived. Why don't you buy a copy?"

As the vendor spoke, he took out a thin blue book and handed it over as if it were a precious treasure.

"Buy, buy..."

What could Fujimaru Ritsuka say? She could only obediently pay the money.

Turning my head, I saw that the monkey was already engrossed in its own story.

"Which one is Sun Wukong!"

The Green Ox Demon stood outside the cave and shouted with great vigor.

"Your Grandpa Sun is here."

The monkey stood on the rock and answered without flinching.

The Green Ox Demon sneered, "I thought you were someone important, but it turns out you're just a skinny, unruly monkey, the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, right?"

Upon hearing the title "Keeper of the Heavenly Horses," the monkey instantly turned red with embarrassment. "Monster, you don't know your grandpa Sun's methods! Hand over my master now, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

"You monkey, you are truly arrogant and unreasonable, no wonder..."

The Green Ox Demon looked at the monkey and immediately understood why his master was so displeased that this impudent monkey had come to find Bai Zhi.

Such vulgarity and barbarity are simply polluting the Daoist heart.

"You impudent monkey, what if I don't release your master?"

"You wretched monster, give me back my master!"

Having already been provoked by the stable boy, the monkey was now being further harassed by this supposedly incompetent little demon king. Enraged, the monkey grabbed his golden cudgel and swung it down.

"Hehe, you've got some strength."

The Green Ox Demon picked up his weapon and withstood the monkey's attack head-on. "No wonder he's the guy who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace."

"But this won't do!"

The Green Ox Demon suddenly unleashed a burst of strength, actually turning the tables and pinning the monkey down.

"You impudent monkey, is that all you've got? Why don't you go find some reinforcements? Otherwise, if I get serious, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

The Green Ox Demon made a suggestive remark.

But the monkey, who had been scolded as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, couldn't care less about that. He immediately retaliated with a strike. He wouldn't be satisfied until he beat the Green Ox Demon to his knees and begged for mercy.

"Sigh, you brought this on yourself."

The Green Ox Demon casually blocked him, shook his head, and realized that he couldn't persuade this monkey. He could only teach him a lesson first.

These thoughts arose, and the Green Ox Demon no longer held back. With a burst of energy, he shook the monkey away, and at the same time, he crossed his hands, and a circular phantom appeared in the middle.

"Monkey, you're so arrogant! Today I'll show you that there are always people more capable than you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the circular phantom took shape, and the monkey was astonished to find that the golden cudgel he was holding tightly in his hand was being absorbed by a powerful force.

Chapter 826 The Monkey Who Got a Beating

"Why are you all in such a hurry?"

Bai Zhi, who had just come out of the Tushita Palace, looked at the immortals in surprise. They looked hurried and seemed to have something urgent to attend to.

"It's Bai Zhi Zhenjun. Actually, the Great Sage came to the Heavenly Court for help. His Majesty ordered us to gather our forces and go down to the mortal realm to assist him."

"Huh? The monkey came up to me for help, but it didn't come to me?"
