Three Heads Six Arms, Return to the Immortal Realm
Li Jing snorted, then looked at the people behind him. "Hmph! That demon monkey is only a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Which general is willing to go destroy him?"
A boy clad in red, with Wind Fire Wheels beneath his feet and the Universe Ring wrapped around his body, stepped forward. "Father, your son requests permission to fight!"
"Good, granted!" Li Jing said, nodding approvingly.
Nezha immediately flew out and faced Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong smiled. "Does the Heavenly Court have no one left? You’re actually sending a child to fight?"
What Nezha hated most was being looked down on. Because of his body, he had always appeared to be a boy, but he was far older than Sun Wukong. Nezha snorted. "Demon monkey, you and I are both Great Luo Golden Immortals. Don’t be so arrogant!"
Sun Wukong looked completely unconcerned. "Little brat, today your Grandpa Sun will tell you that some people are born able to fight opponents above their rank!"
As he spoke, Sun Wukong brought his staff crashing down. Nezha’s pupils shrank, and the Wind Fire Wheels beneath his feet immediately spun at high speed, allowing him to dodge the blow.
Sun Wukong pressed his advantage and swept his staff sideways. Nezha immediately raised his spear to block it.
Bang!
Nezha was instantly blasted more than ten meters away. His eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at Su Yu. They were clearly both Great Luo Golden Immortals, yet Nezha could feel that Sun Wukong’s strength far surpassed his own.
Sun Wukong had been born from an immortal stone nurtured since the creation of heaven and earth. Having absorbed the essence of the world for hundreds of years, he had possessed the potential to fight above his rank from the moment he was born.
"Three Heads Six Arms!"
Nezha shouted and immediately transformed, growing three heads and six arms. He held the Universe Ring, Universe Ring, and Fire Tipped Spear in his hands, while the Wind Fire Wheels remained beneath his feet.
Although Nezha possessed many treasures, they were still inferior to the Golden Cudgel.
Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up at Nezha’s appearance. "That technique of yours is pretty good. Can you teach it to me? Then when I drink with my senior brothers in the future, one of me can handle three!"
"Demon monkey, die!" Nezha charged forward, attacking Sun Wukong with all three treasures.
At that moment, Sun Wukong seemed to be fighting three opponents alone, yet he did not fall behind in the slightest. As the battle continued, he even gained the upper hand.
After exchanging more than a dozen moves, Sun Wukong sent Nezha flying with one blow of his staff. Nezha wanted to charge forward again, but Li Jing spoke up. "Nezha, come back. You can’t defeat him!"
Sun Wukong laughed. "Little brat, did you hear that? Your father told you to go back."
Furious, Nezha dismissed his Three Heads Six Arms form. He did not dare disobey Li Jing and returned behind him.
Li Jing looked at Sun Wukong. "You demon monkey do have some skill. You are clearly only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet your strength is already comparable to a Taiyi Heavenly Immortal. Today, I want to see whether you or I, a genuine Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, am stronger!"
Just as Li Jing was about to charge forward, Taibai Jinxing appeared. "General Li, wait! Wait!"
Hearing Taibai Jinxing’s voice, Li Jing turned toward him. Taibai Jinxing arrived before Li Jing, panting heavily. "General Li, take your men back. His Majesty has already decreed that Sun Wukong is to be named the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."
Taibai Jinxing then looked at Sun Wukong. "Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor has issued an edict appointing you Great Sage Equal to Heaven. He has also placed you in charge of the Heavenly Court’s important Peach Orchard. Come back with me now."
"Really?" Sun Wukong asked happily. He was not happy because the Jade Emperor had named him Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but because he would be placed in charge of the Peach Orchard.
Before long, Sun Wukong left with Taibai Jinxing, while Li Jing and the others could only return as well.
Su Yu watched the entire scene. After everyone had left, he shook his head with a smile. "The Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing are both idiots. Why would they think of having a monkey guard the Peach Orchard? That’s like asking a cat to look after fish! Of course he’ll eat them…"
Seeing their king leave once more, the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain all began cultivating with renewed determination. Every one of them wanted to become immortals as soon as possible so they could follow Sun Wukong.
Su Yu looked toward the horizon. "I’ve been here for thirty years. It’s time to go out for a walk. Right, I should go find that foolish dog Erha."
After speaking, Su Yu gave some instructions to the ten elders of Flower Fruit Mountain before leaving.
In the sky, Su Yu thought that he should still conceal his face. Otherwise, he would be chased down the moment he entered the Heavenly Court. He was not afraid, but it would be annoying.
After thinking it over, Su Yu used the Reality Stone to create a mask covering the area around his right eye. The mask was silver, engraved with intricate patterns.
Such a small mask could not truly conceal Su Yu’s appearance, but an array had been placed upon it. Unless someone was a Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, anyone who saw both the mask and Su Yu’s face would forget what he looked like.
Besides that function, the mask had one even more important purpose: it looked cool!
Su Yu arrived at the East Gate and passed through without any trouble. He then began asking around about Erha’s whereabouts. By now, wanted posters for both him and Erha were posted throughout the entire immortal realm.
Only a few days after Su Yu came to the Heavenly Court, he heard that Sun Wukong had caused trouble.
Just like in the original story, Sun Wukong had secretly eaten the peaches and Taishang Laojun’s Immortal Pills. After turning the Peach Banquet into complete chaos, he fled. Su Yu had just planned to go to the human realm to find Sun Wukong when he heard that Sun Wukong had been captured again.
The Jade Emperor then punished him, but blades, lightning, fire, and everything else failed to harm Sun Wukong. The Jade Emperor was astonished. How could a Great Luo Golden Immortal possibly be so powerful?
Next, Taishang Laojun proposed putting Sun Wukong into his pill furnace and burning him with Samadhi True Fire. After the Jade Emperor granted permission, Taishang Laojun brought Sun Wukong to Tushita Palace. Su Yu also used the Space Stone to arrive at Tushita Palace.
When Su Yu arrived, he happened to see Sun Wukong being thrown into the pill furnace. After thinking it over, Su Yu decided not to save him. After all, Sun Wukong was not in any danger. He could even use the Samadhi True Fire to digest the medicinal effects of the Immortal Pills within his body and refine his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.
Su Yu hid within a space he had opened up, and even Taishang Laojun could not sense his presence. Day after day passed, and at last, forty-nine days were over. Taishang Laojun said, "Open the furnace. That demon monkey must have already turned to ashes."
Taishang Laojun said this to the young Daoist boy beside him. The boy immediately went to the pill furnace and opened it.
At that instant, two golden rays shot out from the pill furnace and pierced Beyond the Nine Heavens. Sun Wukong leaped straight out of the furnace. The Daoist boy was so frightened that he staggered back several steps. Sun Wukong wore a vicious expression, then kicked the pill furnace over.
