Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System Chapter 245 - 241 Establishing the Daoist Sect and the Arriv

At this mont, Sun Wukong ca to pay his respects, and he didn’t stop refining artifacts, still having Gold Horn and Silver Horn fan with banana leaves, the fire in the eight trigram furnace burning fiercely.

After the Monkey King had paid his respects, Taishang Laojun said, "Every ti you co, monkey, it’s a significant event."

Gold Horn and Silver Horn nodded in agreent,

Wukong teased, "Where does the Grandmaster get such ideas? The things I do are all beneficial to heaven and earth, otherwise the Grandmaster wouldn’t see ."

Taishang Laojun waved his horsetail whisk, "Speak then, what brings you this ti?"

Sun Wukong stepped forward a few steps, scratching his head, "There really isn’t much, recently I found in the lower realm, in the human history of the continent to the south, there was an old master whose understanding of the Tao closely aligns with that of the Grandmaster,

Later generations referred to his thoughts together with those of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan as Huang-Lao thought, and rging with other schools such as the Yin-Yang school, it has attracted many followers, with the semblance of a sect already forming."

Taishang Laojun’s expression remained unchanged, but deep down he was quite surprised, giving the Monkey King in front of him a serious look.

Although he hadn’t deliberately hidden his arrangents in the lower realm, one couldn’t possibly discover the seeds he had sown among the human race under the identity of Laozi without a deep understanding of several hundred years of human history.

How long had Wukong been ddling with the human race? rely twenty years, the ticulousness of this monkey sowhat exceeded his expectations.

Since it was now brought up, Taishang Laojun didn’t hide it and he laughed, "Laozi was just an incarnation of mine wandering the lower realm when I had nothing else to do."

When he had nothing else to do?

Sun Wukong didn’t believe that for a second, and he directly asked, "If that’s the case, why doesn’t the Grandmaster take this opportunity to establish another Dao Sect among the human race?

If his Buddha Sect can spread the dharma in the southern continent, we should also establish a Dao Sect."

Taishang Laojun shook his head slightly, "If you already know that it is destined for the Buddha to rise, you should understand the reason why. The ti to establish the Dao Sect has not yet co."

Sun Wukong continued, "He can spread his dharma, and I can spread my dao, what’s the harm?

I don’t an to conceal it from the Grandmaster, but just like the Earth path, the Human path also now holds a hope for advancent.

Does the Grandmaster really want to watch helplessly as the Buddha Sect takes all the benefits after advancing the Human path?"

Taishang Laojun didn’t reply, thought for a while, then asked, "What confidence do you have?"

Sun Wukong said confidently, "A full ten parts!"

Taishang Laojun didn’t say anything further, believing the monkey’s words, he imdiately asked Gold Horn to call over Zhang Daoling, one of the Four Great Heavenly Masters, and after notifying the Jade Emperor, he ordered Zhang Daoling to reincarnate into the mortal world to oversee the establishnt of the Dao Sect.

This arrangent made Sun Wukong sowhat surprised and enlightened.

According to what Netizen Zhihu had said, the appearance of the Dao Sect in the human race is marked by Zhang Daoling, the Heavenly Master, receiving the teachings from Taishang Laojun and establishing the orthodox path.

It all matched up, just that the timing was much earlier than expected.

With this, he had completed the suggestion to Taishang Laojun about establishing the Dao Sect, and also received a Third-Rank Treasure Box.

Furthermore, his suggestion to Liu Xiu about converting the Buddhist temples also earned him a Third-Rank Treasure Box.

Sun Wukong wasn’t in a rush to open the treasure boxes. After Zhang Daoling had descended to the mortal world, he said to Taishang Laojun, "I’ve heard that the number one treasure of the human race is the Kongtong Seal, capable of suppressing the human race’s fortune,

Was this treasure originally in the hands of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and later fell into the Grandmaster’s possession?"

Taishang Laojun nodded, "Indeed, as I’m the leader of the Human Teaching, before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors entered the Fiery Cloud Palace, they worried that later human kings would misuse this treasure to cause chaos in the world, so they temporarily entrusted the Kongtong Seal to for safekeeping."

After confirming this, Sun Wukong grinned and said, "Hehe, Grandmaster, since it’s only a temporary safekeeping, if the human race becos even stronger than in ancient tis, shouldn’t this treasure of the human race be returned to them?"

Taishang Laojun also started to smile, "You clever monkey, do you think I am a bandit? I have no use for it anyway; if you want to take it, do so, but rember to return it to the human race in the future."

Having said that, he then took out a sparkling divine seal.

Sun Wukong didn’t stand on ceremony, imdiately took it, and with a grin, he bowed, "The Grandmaster can rest assured, how could old Sun covet soone else’s treasure?"

After he left, Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged in front of the eight trigram furnace, pondering for a long ti.

Although he didn’t ask, he knew what Sun Wukong wanted the Kongtong Seal for, evidently as a preparation for the emperor who had just ascended the throne in the mortal realm.

And from this, one could tell that Sun Wukong did indeed have full confidence in advancing the Human path.

"It’s getting more and more chaotic," Taishang Laojun shook his head.

Originally, he could still make out so of the current situation in the Three Realms, but as Sun Wukong did more and more, the situation beca increasingly chaotic.

However, the changes Sun Wukong was now bringing about were all beneficial to heaven and earth, that much was becoming clearer.

He just hoped this montum could continue.

With this in mind, the Grand Supre Elderly Lord glanced towards the west, then in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

He thought to himself that everyone used to say Sun Wukong was the biggest variable, but in reality, these two sides were now the variables.

...

After leaving the Palace of Doushuai, Sun Wukong imdiately opened the two treasure boxes he had just obtained.

[You have opened a Third-Rank Treasure Box, congratulations on obtaining the Dao of Artifacts Comprehension (Fifth Level), Formation Dao Comprehension (Fifth Level)]

[You have opened a Fourth-Rank Treasure Box, congratulations on obtaining the Stick Dao Comprehension (Eighth Level), Archery Dao Comprehension (Eighth Level)]

As the notification sounded in his mind, his Dao realm once again improved, especially for the stick and archery Daos, which directly broke through from the seventh level of the Golden Immortal stage to the eighth level realm.

His strength was now even stronger than before!

But Sun Wukong scratched his face, sowhat disappointed; he had hoped to find the divine seal of Kongsang.

He understood, however, that the chances of obtaining top rewards from Third and Fourth-Rank Treasure Boxes were ultimately too low. Obtaining Dao comprehension was already a good reward.

So he quickly moved on and made contact with various forces.

He wanted to finalize the establishnt of the Totem System before the appearance of the Human Teaching, which required the support of multiple forces.

Just to suggest the difficulty of the proposal, which could reward an Eighth-Rank Treasure Box, clearly it was not sothing that could be accomplished just by ntioning.

Next, Sun Wukong’s footsteps covered the Three Realms. He went to many places and discussed Totem matters with many demons and immortals of demonic heritage.

Demon Kings like the Bull Demon King, Jiao Demon King, and Peng Demon King, and the rest of the Monster Kings were naturally among those already waiting to be recruited by him.

Others included the Star Official of the Solar Planet, the Jade Rabbit Spirit, Howling Celestial Dog, and when he went to recruit them, he targeted their elders or masters.

In this process, the relationships he had built up over the years proved to be very useful.

Although with his strength and the status of Ziwei the Great Emperor, along with the benefits of becoming the totem of the Human Race, he could attract countless demons to follow him.

But if he didn’t have those previous relationships as a foundation, the ti he would have had to spend making connections and the number of forces he could rally would have been much less, and this undoubtedly would have affected his strategy.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years passed.

Sun Wukong, having transford into Daoist Sun, arrived once again in Chang’an City of the Human Race, strolling through the bustling streets, observing the colossal changes in humanity over the years, and sensing that ubiquitous spirit of buoyant progress.

He understood that the ti for Human Teaching to manifest had co!

And this was also the mont to test the Dao Ancestor.

If it was as so Zhihu users had said, if the Dao Ancestor’s position was problematic, intent on keeping the Human Path forever beneath the Heavenly Dao, then unimaginable obstructions would arise during this manifestation of the Human Teaching.

Or perhaps, divine punishnt!

The flourishing of humanity did not an the Human Path also had the opportunity to grow strong.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong went to Weiyang Palace and upon seeing Liu Xiu, seated high in the grand hall, his smile widened even more.

Fifty years had passed since he watched Liu Xiu’s birth, nad him Xiu, and as Daoist Sun, taught him as he grew up, step by step, to reach where he was today.

According to the lifespan of the Human Race, the baby from those days was actually beginning to enter old age.

However, because he had once drunk Wukong’s monkey wine, Liu Xiu had not aged, remaining strong and vigorous, with plenty of ti to continue changing the world.

In fact, in these thirty years, Liu Xiu had accomplished many things.

He had not only resolved the chronic problems of the noble families but also increased the population of the human race in Nanshanzhou by tenfold and brought revolutionary changes in all professions.

After Sun Wukong posted these changes to the Zhihu platform, so Zhihu users comnted that this signified the upgrade of an agricultural civilization, accomplishing what would normally take nearly two thousand years in just thirty.
