The coast of the East China Sea.
When Sun Wukong finally woke up, he found that the old man had disappeared.
"Who is this person? Why did he insist on taking me as his disciple and attack me?"
His heart was full of doubts at this moment, and he felt as if there was a shadow covering him.
After pondering for a moment, he couldn't guess anything, so he could only bury this doubt in his heart for the time being.
After this incident, Sun Wukong deeply felt his own weakness for the first time. Even though he had cultivated to the Golden Immortal realm, he was still like an ant in the hands of the old man and had no power to resist. If the old man had not wanted to kill him, he would have died without a burial place.
This made him feel a desire for power in his heart. He just wanted to improve his cultivation and strength as quickly as possible. Only when he was strong enough would he not be manipulated by others and his life and death would be controlled by others.
Afterwards, he once again devoted himself to cultivation.
This time, it only took him one year to advance from the Golden Immortal realm to the peak Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Sun Wukong, who was protecting him secretly, could not help but envy him when he saw how quickly his strength improved in this world. If he had been as lucky as Sun Wukong in this world, he probably would not have possessed the strength of an early Taiyi Golden Immortal after he became a disciple, but should have reached the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, the foundation given to him by the Five-Colored Divine Stone has been basically exhausted when he reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. It is not so easy to further advance and become a Daluo Golden Immortal. At least he has to continue to accumulate foundation before he can break through.
Just as the Great Sage had expected, Sun Wukong, who had reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, soon discovered that his cultivation speed had dropped dramatically. This turtle-like speed made him, who had been accustomed to the rapid progress of his cultivation, very uncomfortable.
Originally, he wanted to achieve the Golden Immortal status in one go, but now he has realized that achieving the Golden Immortal status is by no means an easy task.
"It seems that if I want to achieve the Golden Immortal Realm, relying solely on painstaking practice, it will take hundreds or thousands of years. It's too long, and I, Old Sun, can't wait."
"I also need to redeem Huaguo Mountain from the Daoist Master. That's my home, and the ransom should be substantial, no less than the resources needed to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. However, apart from my magical powers, I have nothing else. I need to buy some magical equipment and treasures, so I can't appear too poor."
Sun Wukong pondered for a long time, racking his brains to think of where to get some treasures, when he suddenly remembered something he had heard from an old monkey under his command.
Legend has it that there is a Dragon King in the East China Sea. The place where the Dragon King lives is called Crystal Palace. It is full of treasures and rare treasures.
"If I can borrow some treasures from the Dragon King of the East Sea, perhaps I can redeem my Flower-Fruit Mountain."
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. Not wanting to waste a moment, he headed straight for the depths of the East China Sea.
Deep in the East China Sea, a crystal clear palace stands beneath the sea.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, was lying comfortably on the dragon throne at this time. Two clam girls were beside him, one was massaging his shoulders and the other was feeding him grapes. He looked very comfortable.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
A crab-like aquatic creature with two large claws walked quickly into the hall, knelt on the ground and reported to Ao Guang.
"What happened?" Ao Guang asked lazily.
"Reporting to the king, a monster with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks came outside the door. He said he was your old neighbor, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King of Flower-Fruit Mountain, and he came to pay a special visit." The Crab General replied respectfully.
"Old neighbor, Huaguo Mountain has disappeared for two years. How can I have any old neighbors?"
Ao Guang frowned, thinking that it was another monster coming to take advantage of him, and was about to ask General Crab to send it away.
At this moment, a thought suddenly struck him, "Mount Huaguo? Could it be that the demonic monkey from Mount Huaguo that Guanyin Bodhisattva mentioned earlier has arrived? But that's not right. According to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the demonic monkey wouldn't arrive for at least several decades. How could it be here so early?"
Although he didn't know why, since this was a task assigned by Guanyin Bodhisattva, he didn't dare to neglect it and quickly ordered General Crab to welcome Sun Wukong in.
Sun Wukong followed General Crab, entered the gate of the Crystal Palace, and headed towards the main hall.
Along the way, his eyes almost turned red as he looked at the dazzling array of treasures in the Crystal Palace.
"This old Dragon King is so rich! He has so many treasures! If we could move them all, we would be able to redeem my Flower-Fruit Mountain."
Soon, he arrived at the main hall of the Crystal Palace, where Ao Guang was already waiting for him.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Ao Guang asked knowingly, "I wonder what brings you to my Dragon Palace, Immortal?"
Sun Wukong said with a smile, "To be honest, old neighbor, although I have achieved enlightenment, I am short of treasures. I heard that you have many treasures here. I wonder if you can give me a few of them?"
As expected, it was exactly as Guanyin Bodhisattva had said before. Ao Guang, who had been mentally prepared, smiled lightly and said, "Since our two families are neighbors, as the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Since the Immortal has spoken, how can I let the Immortal return empty-handed?"
As he spoke, he ordered his men to fetch two weapons.
After Sun Wukong tried them, he felt that these two weapons were just ordinary. If he wanted to redeem the Flower-Fruit Mountain with them, they would be far from enough.
Then, he pretended to be displeased, and with a burst of momentum, he pressed towards Ao Guang and said, "Old Dragon King, you own the East China Sea and are the richest man in the world. Are you going to use this piece of junk to fool me, Sun?"
