775: Chapter 775: I, Old Sun, Beca a Drag?
(8th Update) 775: Chapter 775: I, Old Sun, Beca a Drag?
(8th Update) The Golden BOSS encounter always made it easy to obtain good loot, and the Six-Eared Macaque was no exception.
Not to ntion the potions, so quite decent pieces of equipnt had also exploded forth.
However, for Jiang Liu at this point, his equipnt had almost reached its peak, and unless it was an exceptionally unique treasure, it was difficult for anything to compare with what he already possessed.
Yet, for Jiang Liu, these pieces of equipnt might not cut it, but there was one piece of equipnt that was still quite good for Good Corpse.
It was a fiery red crystal horsetail whisk, and as his gaze fixed upon it, the corresponding attribute information appeared before Jiang Liu’s eyes.
Fire Crystal Duster (Epic Level): Required level 70, Attack Power 990,000, Special Effect: Fire-based attack skills damage increased by 25%, Durability 620/620.
This horsetail whisk’s attribute information secretly amazed Jiang Liu.
The Fire Tip Spear was also level 70 equipnt, but its added attack power was only a bit over 270,000, yet this whisk was nearly four tis that of the spear.
Is its quality even higher than the Fire Tip Spear?
Or is it that the Heavenly Master’s profession not only has terrifying damage potential, but even their main weapons possess such frightening added attack power?
Regardless, such high attack power on this whisk was naturally good news for Jiang Liu.
After reminding Good Corpse, he joyfully took the whisk out of his inventory space and equipped it.
The added attack power was very high, and more importantly, the passive effect was also incredibly practical!
Whoosh!
Just as Jiang Liu was organizing the spoils of battle, a streak of light flashed across the sky, and imdiately afterward, Sun Wukong appeared before Jiang Liu.
As always, the speed of Sun Wukong’s Sorsault Cloud was extraordinarily fast.
“Master, is it him?” Arriving in front of Jiang Liu, Sun Wukong’s attention was naturally drawn to the unconscious Six-Eared Macaque, and he looked at him, indeed completely identical to himself.
“Master, are you sure you really don’t recognize him?” After carefully sizing up the Six-Eared Macaque on the ground for a mont, Sun Wukong imdiately asked Jiang Liu with a strange expression.
“Wukong, what do you an by that?” Jiang Liu asked, feeling sowhat puzzled by the peculiar look Sun Wukong was giving him.
Without rushing to say much, Sun Wukong rely bent down and picked up the Six-Eared Macaque’s Golden Hoop Staff from the ground.
“Master, this staff is exactly like the one I used to have before, only it hasn’t been strengthened by you!” After observing the staff, Sun Wukong spoke to Jiang Liu, clearly implying sothing.
Without a Soul Gem, without Twin Essence Oil, without Strengthening Gems…
Yet, this staff was exactly like the Golden Hoop Staff that Sun Wukong had initially.
“You rascal!”
Understanding what Sun Wukong ant, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but get frustrated and said, “Just because I can produce two identical Fire Tip Spears, do you think that because there is an identical Golden Hoop Staff, it must be from my hand?”
“Hehehe, I, Old Sun, of course, wouldn’t suspect Master.
However, besides Master, it’s astonishing that soone else in the three realms and six paths can produce an identical Golden Hoop Staff!” Seeing Jiang Liu’s frustrated expression, Sun Wukong imdiately backed down, but his face still wore a look of surprise.
Though Sun Wukong might have spoken without intention, Jiang Liu listened with intent.
Jiang Liu’s mind slightly stirred, “So, could this staff possibly relate to the Supre Elder Lord!?”
He rembered that in the original story, although the Ruyi Golden Cudgel was obtained from the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea, it seed to be forged by the Supre Elder Lord, used by Dayu for controlling the depth of rivers and seas.
If soone else besides himself could produce an identical Golden Hoop Staff, as the forger of the staff, the Supre Elder Lord would naturally be the pri suspect.
“So, is this incident with the Six-Eared Macaque also a setup?”
Thinking that all of this might be a manipulation by the Supre Elder Lord in the shadows, Jiang Liu’s mind began pondering deeply.
As his thoughts drifted wider, and Sun Wukong?
He was looking down at the severely injured and unconscious Six-Eared Macaque with a contemplative expression and was silent.
Master and disciple, both eerily quiet.
After a mont, Jiang Liu gathered back his scattered thoughts and, finding Sun Wukong strangely quiet, was sowhat astonished.
Sun Wukong didn’t seem like the type who could stay quiet, right?
“Wukong, what are you thinking about?
Why aren’t you speaking?” Jiang Liu asked Sun Wukong.
“Master, I, Old Sun, just feel sothing odd!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, Sun Wukong also snapped back to reality and said.
“Odd, did you notice sothing?” Sun Wukong’s words surprised Jiang Liu.
Wasn’t this broad perspective always what Sun Wukong lacked?
And now he felt sothing was odd?
Had this monkey finally grown up?
“I, Old Sun, don’t know if it’s just a misconception, but I always feel like I’m now the one holding you back…” Sun Wukong spoke to Jiang Liu.
“Are you talking about how strange things have been in this regard?”
Jiang Liu thought Sun Wukong had noticed sothing fishy about the situation, but unexpectedly, his response was this, making the corners of Jiang Liu’s mouth twitch slightly.
“Otherwise?” Sun Wukong slightly tilted his head, looking curiously at Jiang Liu.
“No, nothing!” Waving his hands, Jiang Liu showed no intention of delving deeper into this matter.
“Master, look, I, Old Sun, was frad, and I had no clue myself but, you just let I, Old Sun, play around on Flower Fruit Mountain for a bit, and just like that, you caught the mastermind behind it all, and even subdued him—your skills are indeed formidable!”
As Sun Wukong spoke, he paused briefly and then added, “I, Old Sun, am supposed to protect you on our Journey to the West for Scriptures!”
“But now it seems, Master, that not only do you not need I, Old Sun’s protection anymore, but, instead, you are helping I, Old Sun!”
“Tell , without and Bajie and the others, would you, Master, have long since, uh, made your way to Western Heaven?”
“Wukong!”
At Sun Wukong’s words, Jiang Liu smiled slightly, his expression affectionate as he reached out to pat Sun Wukong’s head, saying, “Realizing this shows that you’ve grown up, you know!”
After a slight pause, Jiang Liu continued, “But precisely because of this, Wukong, you all played a greater role!
It’s exactly because you were holding things back that your master had more ti to grow!”
“Alright!” Jiang Liu’s words made Sun Wukong nod in understanding.
The master continued his journey west, always looking for ways to delay ti, which Sun Wukong knew.
But now, halfway through this journey to the west, had his role really beco just a hindrance?
Sun Wukong didn’t know whether he should feel happy or sad at this mont.
“Alright, Wukong, don’t waste ti.
Take the Six-Eared Macaque with you to Lingxiao Hall and report to the Jade Emperor!” Jiang Liu didn’t give Sun Wukong much ti to consider whether he should be happy or sad, urging him straightforwardly.
The important thing was still the Vermilion Pen.
Better to quickly redesign the more difficult version of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
“Yes, Master, got it!” Hearing Jiang Liu’s urging, Sun Wukong nodded.
He then grabbed the Six-Eared Macaque and, using Divine Skills on his Sorsault Cloud, quickly flew toward Heavenly Court.
“Great Sage!”
Seeing Sun Wukong return with the Six-Eared Macaque, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals guarding South Heavenly Gate greeted him with awe and admiration showing on their faces.
Indeed, two Great Sages that looked almost identical!
Of course, after arriving at Lingxiao Hall, Sun Wukong threw the Six-Eared Macaque onto the floor.
The immortals in Lingxiao Hall, after looking at the Six-Eared Macaque on the floor and then at Sun Wukong, also began discussing quietly among themselves.
So, the one who had caused chaos in Lingxiao Hall before really wasn’t Sun Wukong?
So, soone really had impersonated Sun Wukong?
“That impersonator was very strong, but Sun Wukong managed to defeat and bring him back.
His strength must have beco even greater than 500 years ago, right?” Of course, many also focused on Sun Wukong’s strength.
“Phew, thank goodness, I just knew that Monkey couldn’t have done such a thing!” Nezha muttered to himself, relieved, seeing that Sun Wukong had successfully defeated and brought back the perpetrator.
“Jade Emperor, the one you asked I, Old Sun, to catch, I, Old Sun, have indeed caught!
Now you know I, Old Sun, am innocent, right?” Sun Wukong said, asking the Jade Emperor.
“Hmm, very good, very good, it seems I’ve wronged you!”
Waving his hand over his long beard, the Great Jade Emperor nodded straightforwardly, providing a clear answer to Sun Wukong.
“Hehehe…”
Hearing that the Great Jade Emperor had admitted his mistake, Sun Wukong’s face couldn’t help but reveal a smirk as he said, “Jade Emperor, this wasn’t sothing I, Old Sun, did.
Originally, the cri wasn’t mine, but, I, Old Sun, caught the perpetrator for you, so doesn’t that an you owe I, Old Sun, a favor?”
“Sun Wukong, don’t be presumptuous!
You did this for your own innocence, didn’t you?” Hearing Sun Wukong actually ask for a favor, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing couldn’t help but rebuke him loudly.
“Innocence?
Anyway, I, Old Sun, have never bothered much about innocence!
It doesn’t matter…” With an air of a carefree attitude, Sun Wukong spread his hands.
“You…” Sun Wukong’s deanor left the Heavenly King speechless.
“Alright, alright, Heavenly King!” At this mont, the Jade Emperor intervened, stopping Li Jing’s remarks.
Thereafter, the Jade Emperor turned to Sun Wukong and said, “You rascal, your words do have so rit.
This incident counts as a great service from you!”
“You intentionally pointed it out, so you must have a request, right?
Just go ahead and ask!”
