Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"My wife's temper is a bit too fiery," he said.

The Demon King's eyes gleamed with a hint of wickedness. With a shudder, he transformed into a thousand-zhang-long dragon, breaking through the roof of the Dragon Palace and soaring outside. Laughing, he called out, "Haha, my dear, wait for me to prepare the bridal gifts, and I'll come to Huaguo Mountain to connect our families in marriage!"

Indeed, this Demon King deserved his title as the monster king of the Northern Jambu Continent!

The bodies of true dragons of the four seas were no more than a hundred zhang in length!

Yet, this Demon King, in his divine dragon form, was a thousand zhang long!

Ao Guang looked at Ao Shun and commented, "Fourth brother, your son indeed has some ability. No wonder he became a demon king on the Northern Jambu Continent."

Ao Shun bowed his head, not daring to speak.

"Father, my three uncles, do not worry. I too shall achieve a body of a thousand zhang in the future," Ao Yun said, clenching his fists tightly.

With the Dragon Spell mastered to great achievement, not to mention a thousand zhang, even ten thousand zhang was a trifle.

Unfortunately, her practice time was too short. While one could use Eternal Coins or Heavenly Dao Coins for instant success, Ao Yun wouldn't use them specifically for her cultivation, as the king had never used them for cultivating either.

Later, Ao Shun and the other two Dragon Kings stayed to help rebuild the Crystal Palace, while Ao Yun also put away her sword, meticulously recording the layout of the Dragon Palace and sketching drawings.

Seeing this, Ao Guang asked curiously, "Daughter, what are you sketching?"

Ao Yun did not conceal it and replied, "Elder brother is planning to build a Three Lives Scholarly City on Huaguo Mountain to systematically educate all the spirits of Huaguo Mountain. I am drawing inspiration from the layout of the Dragon Palace to plan the blueprints."

"Speaking of which, I am indeed ashamed," Ao Yun said.

"I have lived here for hundreds of years but still do not understand the layout…"

Ao Guang said with a chuckle, "If that's the case, you might as well use it. Don't hesitate."

For Ao Guang, if Huaguo Mountain could use the internal and external layout of the Dragon Palace, it was a great honor for him.

Moreover, educating ten thousand spirits might earn the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea some credit as well.

After recording the general layout of the Dragon Palace, Ao Yun also sketched the architecture she found appealing in meticulous detail, then took her leave from Ao Guang and returned to Huaguo Mountain.

"Ah, the daughter has grown up, not knowing how to worry about her home," lamented the East Sea Dragon King.

West Sea Dragon King: "..."

South Sea Dragon King: "..."

North Sea Dragon King: "..."

If not for the satisfied, self-satisfied smirk on the face of the East Sea Dragon King, they might have believed him.

Though the three seas had pure-hearted dragon maidens, these maidens had no favors with the Monkey King. If sent directly, it might arouse suspicion; better to let things take their natural course.

At the same time.

The Demon King rode the clouds and flew back from the Eastern Ocean to the Northern Jambu Continent in a day.

"You, go and search for all kinds of gold and silver items, heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"

Upon arriving at his lair, the Demon King immediately ordered his minions to search for various treasures, the purpose of which went without saying.

He was to marry into the family.

And he was serious about it!

However, he couldn't just marry into the family without bringing a substantial dowry to shut the mouths of the Monkey King and that dragon maiden, or at least to leave them with no handle to grab.

"Report—"

Just then, a serpent demon rushed in, "Great King, the Monkey King has come to visit!"

"The Monkey King, what is he doing here at this time?" the Demon King pondered inwardly.

He and the four other demon kings hadn't even started their plan yet, which was still in the stage of recruiting and purchasing horses. Logically, the other party wouldn't have the time to visit him anytime soon.

"Let him in!"

As the Demon King's voice fell, the Monkey King slowly walked in, his face pointed and frightful.

"Demon King, you sure know how to enjoy yourself," observed the Monkey King as he saw him playing with a jade cup in his hand, snorting, "Also, I see your minions going out looking for all sorts of spirit fruits and jewels. What are you up to?"

"Being a dragon, I like shiny things. Quite normal, don't you think?" the Demon King retorted coolly. For a bett#er^ readin^g! exp.er-ie!nc%e,% vi^sit M#(VLE%MP%YR)*.

"Fine, we all have our secrets. Let's not discuss them now," the Monkey King said, his eyes twinkling slightly. "I came here to inform you that we are planning to go to Nanshan Continent again, to recruit the Bull Demon King into our group."

During this continuous period of searching for the Demon King without success, they discussed it and felt it better to involve the Bull Demon King.

The bigger the participation in their plan against heavenly decree, the better.

Only by attracting the attention of the heavenly court could they cause angels to descend and recruit them.

The Demon King snorted, "No need to think further, the Bull Demon King is not in the Nanshan Continent."

"He's not?" the Monkey King was surprised. "Then where is he?"

"Dongsheng Shenzhou, Ao Lai, Huaguo Mountain," said the Demon King, his expression grave.

"Huaguo Mountain?"

The Monkey King was taken aback, then speculated, "Could it be that he's made friends with the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain? It's possible, given the Bull Demon King's generous nature, he really might make friends with various capable demon kings."

To the Monkey King, with the Bull Demon King's temperament, he was likely to make friends with any demon king he liked.

After all, in the vast world, what counted was personal relationships.

Having more friends was always a good thing.

"No."

The Demon King shook his head slowly, "He was subdued by the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain and has become his mount."

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and the Dragon Maiden wouldn't lie about this matter. After all, if the Demon King heard someone spreading rumors about him, he would undoubtedly come looking for trouble.

Therefore, what the Dragon Maiden said could not be false.

"The mighty Bull Demon King, actually being used as a mount?"

The astonished Monkey King could hardly believe it. "What realm is the Monkey King at?"

"He must have achieved the status of a Heavenly Immortal," said the Demon King.

The Monkey King was at a loss for words.

A Heavenly Immortal, among the five immortals, holds the highest fruit status.

Although it is said that in a fight, a Heavenly Immortal is not necessarily more formidable than a Demon King, since Demon Kings of the terrestrial realms mostly cultivate Mana and Divine Skills without pursuing spiritual practice, enjoying a carefree life.

However, Heavenly Immortals are beyond reincarnation, immune to birth and death, living on eternally.

Unlike them, who need to exert themselves daily in spiritual practice to extend their lifespan, all Heavenly Immortals need to do is meditate and comprehend the Dao to understand deeply and endure through the ages.

In the world of mountain spirits, those who have achieved the status of a Heavenly Immortal are few and far between. How fortunate was the Monkey King to have achieved the rank of a Heavenly Immortal?

Moreover, the Bull Demon King could not even stand against the Monkey King. It must be that the martial skills and Divine Skills of the Monkey King had been cultivated to the peak, enabling him to make the Bull Demon King his mount.

"So, are you preparing gifts to visit the Monkey King?"

Scratching his head and rolling his eyes, the Monkey King raised his thumb, "Great idea, even if he is not one of us, it's always good to make friends."

"In the future, we might even end up working together in the Heavenly Court."

The Demon King chuckled lightly but did not respond.

He couldn't reveal his plans just yet.

Marry into his family?

If other Monkey Kings knew that the Monkey King indeed had the potential to ascend the ranks of immortality, they might compete with him for that 'marrying into his family' spot.

As for dignity?

As a Demon King, what need was there for dignity?

Murder, arson, slaughtering cities, cannibalism; what hadn't they done?

As long as it meant achieving their goals and securing the position of victory, who would dare to bark at them from below?

This is generally the case for Demon Kings in the Northern Jambu Continent.

After pondering for a while, the Monkey King bid farewell to the Demon King, discussed the matter with the other three Demon Kings, and the five of them decided together to bring gifts and pay a visit.

The Demon King had his own agenda, unknown to the other four Demon Kings.

And the plans of these five great Demon Kings were overheard by another monkey hiding in the shadows.

This monkey had yellow fur, a pointy mouth and concave cheeks, and three ears on each side.

It was the six-eared macaque.

"Huaguo Mountain? The Monkey King?"

The six ears of the six-eared macaque twitched, but he could hear no movement from Huaguo Mountain. It seemed there was some kind of formation blocking any sensation of what was happening there.

However, aided by the noises around Huaguo Mountain in Ao Lai, he swiftly learned of many things in a moment.

For example: Eternal Coins, Heavenly Dao Coins.

"Eternal Coins, Heavenly Dao Coins... they can offset the arduous cultivation, truly splendid items." Hearing this, the six-eared macaque felt a tinge of jealousy towards the yet unseen Sun Wukong.

Though they were both monkeys, why was the other so fortunate?

Not only had he attained Heavenly Immortal status, but he was also the co-ruler of Huaguo Mountain, having established seventy-three cities, with myriad demons coming to pay their respects, earning admiration from all...

Could he do the same?

With this thought, the six-eared macaque secretly mused, "Given that I'm also a monkey, since he could, why can't I?"

However, considering the environment in the Northern Jambu Continent, the six-eared macaque realized it was impossible to accomplish anything notable here.

All beings in this continent, be they man or demon, follow the law of the jungle. Even if one were to establish a city of demons, there would always be the worry of betrayal by someone, human or demon, one day.

Moreover, with the Great Emperor firmly in control of the region, any expansion by a Demon King would provoke retaliation, ensuring a balance of power among the major forces.

To aspire to reign supreme here was but a fool's dream.

In his view, the plan of the five great Demon Kings was nothing more than wishful thinking.

If the Heavenly Court truly intended to recruit the local Demon Kings as officials, they would have acted hundreds or thousands of years ago. Why would they need a few of them coming up with a 'rebellious recruitment' plan?

Since the Northern Jambu Continent was not conducive to his ambitions, how about the other three continents?

In the opinion of the six-eared macaque, only the Eastern Victory Continent was the most promising.

Why?

The Nanshan Continent is where the human population gathers in the greatest numbers.

Although there are also demons there, they are mostly insubstantial, and due to the dense human population, offerings are abundant, thus attracting the most attention from the Heavenly Court.

Despite having great fortune and mastering the 72 transformations which conferred longevity and extensive Divine Skills, fearless of the Heavenly Court, why bother with scheming if one could attain a legitimate and glorious Dao?

Therefore, the Nanshan Continent was temporarily ruled out by him.

Next, there was the Western Cattle Gift Continent...

"The Western Tathagata is a formidable being. Since I cannot discern truth from falsehood regarding him, it's better not to provoke him," thought the six-eared macaque.

Although he could not discern the Tathagata's truth, he had heard others recount the pre-Enlightenment deeds of Siddhartha, which is why he dared not provoke him.

So, his attention turned to the Eastern Victory Continent, Huaguo Mountain.

He harbored intentions of taking another's nest!

But at Huaguo Mountain, he also could not discern the truth. How could he dare stir trouble?
