Red Boy, who was playing outside, ran in at this mont and was very happy to see Nezha's current appearance. He thought, "I have horns, Mother has horns, and now Father also has horns; a family should be neat and tidy!"
As a first-ti mother, Tie Shan hoped to remain one for a while longer, so she sealed Red Boy's mana to slow his growth. The advantage of doing this was to build a stronger foundation, though the disadvantage was prolonging that annoyingly despised age. However, Tie Shan didn't mind; the more lively Red Boy was, the more she liked him.
Nezha ignored the mother and son's unique fondness for horns and said, "Help check if there are any flaws?"
His transformation technique would surely be undetectable to Sun Wukong, as it was Nezha who taught Sun Wukong his pupil skills. However, he had spent a considerable amount of ti with the monkey in the Three Star Cave, so he feared the monkey might notice sothing unusual.
Red Boy, completely uninterested in such matters, looked at Nezha's robust body and large bull head, happily saying, "Father, you are now the most handso bull in the entire Lingshan!"
Tie Shan clasped her hands in front of her chest with a starry-eyed look, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Nezha was speechless; he thought to himself, "Even without you saying so, I already know."
He searched in his toy chest and found a large stick made of Suru Gold, then selected the most pleasing Water-shielding Golden-eyed Beast from the spirit beasts raised in Lingshan. Casually, in a region in the west where demons gathered, he beat the leader into submission with a few punches and kicks, then spread so rumors. Thus, the Great Strength Bull Demon King made his official debut in the west!
Among the demon clan remnants from the Ancient Era still around today, the unruly ones had long been swept through by Yang Jian, the True Martial Demon Cleansing Heavenly Venerate, and dragged off to boost performance in rescue missions. The rest were generally well-behaved, mostly under the command of Bai Ze. Although life was hard, they were getting by.
Among the famous demons currently, the most renowned was, of course, the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain. In the world of mixing around, connections were paramount. Nezha, transford as the Bull Demon King, didn't need to actively do much; he simply displayed so strength, indulged in daily eating, drinking, and rry-making, and quickly t up with Sun Wukong in the Shuilian Cave.
Upon eting Sun Wukong again, compared to his ti on Fangcun Mountain, the entire monkey seed much more confident and assertive. This was understandable, as he had little demons praising him daily. In Nezha's view, these little demons lacked education, always repeating the sa praises, making it quite boring.
A newly arrived Wukong, however, was different; he truly had abilities. Combined with others' praise, his inflated ego was quite normal.
At this ti, Nezha finally t the so-called Seven Demon Kings, including himself, only to feel that immortals were plentiful as hemp stalks!
The Seven Demon Kings were: Bull Demon King, Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, Lion King, Monkey King, Yu Rong King, and Monkey King.
Nezha glanced at this group a few tis. To him, their true identities were no longer hidden. Firstly, the Jiao Demon King; from his na, one would think his true form was a Flood Dragon and related to the Dragon Clan. In fact, the Jiao Demon King's true form was a snake, originally nad Xiu She, also known as Ba Snake. It was the sa being whose body turned into Ba Ling after being slain by Da Yi. How it escaped that calamity and put on a single horn to pose as a Flood Dragon remains unknown.
Next, concerning the Lion King or Suan Ni King, you'd think he was truly a lion, wouldn't you? Wrong. This being originated from the Dragon Clan and was the fifth of the Ancestor Dragon Family, Suan Ni, originally supposed to guard the Jiuzhou Furnace. Why he's here, Nezha speculates, might be due to another Jiuzhou Furnace's appearance, indicating Human Clan's upcoming unification.
The Monkey King and Yu Rong King, these two have nothing notable to ntion—they are among the Four Demonic Monkeys. Due to Sun Wukong's birth boosting the Qi Fortune of the Monkey Clan, the two's current cultivation can be considered an indirect benefit of Sun Wukong's influence.
Now it's ti to introduce the Peng Demon King prominently. This being resulted from the original Roc clan leader, who was devoured by Kunpeng, born as a Corpse-cutting Avatar, and is the second-generation Peng Daoist.
The demon clan had nothing unrelated to Kunpeng, this Demon Master. This was a promise made by Di Jun and Taiyi when they established the demon clan. Although both had died countless years ago, the constraint remained.
Recently, the demon clan's Qi Fortune is churning, suggesting a rise again. Kunpeng, who was lurking in Beihai, sent Peng Daoist out to see what was going on. As a competent Old Six, he certainly couldn't use his real identity, so he adopted the alias of Peng Demon King in accordance with local customs.
Adding Nezha, the Heavenly Court's Emperor Ziwei and the Buddha of the West, made even the small Shuilian Cave truly a talent-filled place!
Hence the saying, "Immortals abundant as hemp stalks."
Yet, our protagonist at this mont, the Monkey King Sun Wukong, had absolutely no realization. It wasn't that his divine skills had failed; first, his cultivation was vastly different from these beings; second, until leaving Fangcun Mountain, he hadn't fully mastered the 'Golden Eyes'.
Nezha, with a large bull nose, drank while glancing at the Peng Demon King, inwardly thinking the fish had taken the bait.
While the Peng Demon King's attention had already been drawn by the egg inside Shuilian Cave. He had once devoured the essence blood of Yuan Feng and was very sensitive to it. The essence within the egg was even more abundant than the Roc he had consud. If he could eat it, not only could he heal past injuries, but he might also further his foundational power.
Due to poor foundation, this Corpse-cutting Avatar could currently exert only an early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal level of cultivation, a significant drop from first-generation Peng Daoist. Nonetheless, he thought it sufficient. Scanning the entire Shuilian Cave, the only one worthy of his attention was the Lion King; others might not recognize it, but Kunpeng could sll the seafood scent on him!
As for the Bull Demon King—wasn't he just a large white bull with so Taoist skills? Nothing noteworthy.
The Peng Demon King continued drinking with his fellow brothers on the surface, while Kunpeng's true form secretly calculated everyone's origins. In the end, the most frightening wasn't Suan Ni, but Old Seven, the Monkey King Sun Wukong.
After so hesitation, he ultimately chose not to take action imdiately.
anwhile, the Lion King Suan Ni also focused on the Golden Phoenix's egg. After gaining freedom, the monkey was initially just out for so fun and investigating the coastal demon clans, but upon arrival, he was captivated by the egg. There was nothing to be done—the enmity between dragons and phoenixes was truly ingrained in their bones. Moreover, Suan Ni's mother was personally slain by Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng pierced open the dragon's head, directly burning it with Nanming Lihuo, leaving behind a well-cooked shell upon return.
The Dragon Clan's cultivation thods differed from those of Mystic Sect Immortals. Lacking the comprehensive skills of orthodox immortals, relying on innate intuition, he still sensed Peng Demon King as a threat.
He wanted to crush the Phoenix Egg imdiately, but resisted for now. Peng Daoist and Suan Ni both coincidentally chose to wait a bit longer.
Sun Wukong had no awareness that his newly sworn brothers were currently scheming about his "younger brother." He was happily introducing the stone egg to these sworn brothers, even evolving from the Seven Great Saints to the Eight Great Saints, with the Egg Demon King as the new addition—a title personally bestowed by Sun Wukong.
Others didn't express much reaction, thinking, 'Swear allegiance, if you must. Your allegiance with Peng Demon King (Bull Demon King, Lion King, Jiao Demon King) doesn't concern us Kunpeng (Nezha, Suan Ni, Ba Snake).'
If the Golden Phoenix could speak, it would probably also think, 'What does Egg Demon King have to do with , the Golden Phoenix?'
No matter the hidden thoughts and sches, the atmosphere on the scene grew ever more enthusiastic. Among these demons and ghosts, a true chaotic dance of demons, Nezha, one who was accustod to lavish banquets, still found it quite novel. After all, heavenly female immortals performing music were common, but musical monkeys were rare.
When demons and monsters drank to their heart's content, they started boasting. "I can do this, I can do that," each boasting reached the heavens. One claid to overturn rivers and seas, another to move mountains and command gods. So demons spoke truth, while others uttered drunken words.
"Old Seven, it is said your skills are extraordinary. How about giving us a show today?"
This was spoken by Nezha—not for anything else but having gotten a bit rry and wanting to see a monkey show.
"Alright, alright! I heard Old Seven returned from overseas cultivation, quickly show us!"
This was said by the Peng Demon King, wanting first to see Sun Wukong's skills to know what to anticipate.
