Black Myth! Wukong kills gods and Buddhas!

Chapter 17 Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King

Wukong fights the Pagoda King alone, and the battle clouds gather in the sky. The former demon monkey, now called the Great Sage, Wukong holds a stick and stands outside the South Heaven Gate, his eyes as sharp as torches, looking straight into the sky. The Pagoda King, Li Jing, carries a pagoda on his back and leads 100,000 heavenly soldiers in a mighty battle formation, intending to capture this demon.

The Heavenly King said, "You naughty monkey, you caused chaos in Heaven in the past, and you have committed serious crimes. Today, Heavenly soldiers are approaching, where can you escape?" Wukong laughed and said, "Hey! Old Li Jing, you are the Heavenly Palace, bullying the people. I am a righteous army, why should I be afraid of a fight?"

After saying this, Wukong flashed and turned into golden light, heading straight for the Heavenly King. The Heavenly King was not in a hurry, and he unfolded his pagoda, sucking all the golden light into it. Wukong was startled, and hurriedly used his magical powers to transform into thousands of monkey soldiers, overwhelming the sky and the earth. The Heavenly King sneered, and unfolded his pagoda again, and all the monkey soldiers disappeared.

Wukong was furious and started to strike. The Heavenly King met him with his halberd. The two weapons clashed, and golden light shone everywhere, and the sky and the earth changed color. After a hundred rounds, there was no winner. Wukong came up with a plan, and turned into a wisp of green smoke, and hid behind the Heavenly King, intending to steal his pagoda.

The king seemed to have eyes on his back, and he stabbed Wukong with his halberd. Wukong narrowly avoided it, and was secretly shocked. It turned out that the king had many magic weapons, and he should not be underestimated. Wukong appeared again and fought with the king again.

At this time, the heavenly soldiers and generals had surrounded Wukong, and they were advancing with swords, spears, and halberds. Wukong showed no fear, and danced with his golden hoop tightly, making it difficult for the heavenly soldiers and generals to get close to him. Seeing this, the Heavenly King secretly praised Wukong for his great martial arts, but he also became more determined to capture the monster.

The Heavenly King took out the magic mirror and shone it, revealing Wukong's true form. Wukong knew it was a magic weapon, so he did not dare to be careless. He quickly used his magical powers to turn himself into an invisible form. Although the magic mirror could reveal Wukong's true form, it could not hurt him at all. Seeing this, the Heavenly King frowned and thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

Wukong took the opportunity to fight back, and the golden hoop came at the king like a violent storm. The king hurriedly raised his halberd to meet it, and felt the pressure doubled. It turned out that Wukong's stick contained the power of heaven and earth, which was extraordinary. The king knew that a long battle would not be beneficial, so he hurriedly ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to set up a net to trap Wukong.

Wukong sneered, and his body moved left and right, up and down, and the net could not trap him at all. Seeing this, the king knew that Wukong had great magical powers and was difficult to defeat, so he came up with a plan.

The Heavenly King took out the exquisite pagoda and silently chanted a spell. The pagoda shone brightly and came towards Wukong. Wukong knew that the pagoda was powerful and did not dare to take it head-on, so he used his magical powers to avoid it. However, the pagoda followed him like a shadow and chased him relentlessly.

Wukong was secretly shocked, knowing that the pagoda was spiritual and difficult to escape. He quickly thought of a way out and turned into a golden light, rushing straight into the sky. The pagoda chased after him and was about to capture Wukong.

At this critical moment, Wukong suddenly paused, and turned into thousands of clones, fleeing in all directions. The golden light of the pagoda became brighter and brighter, but it could only contain one or two of his clones. Wukong's real body took the opportunity to escape and headed straight for the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Seeing this, the Heavenly King secretly sighed at Wukong's extraordinary wit, but he also became more determined to capture the monster. He led the heavenly soldiers and generals to chase after Wukong, vowing to capture him and bring him back to heaven to be punished.

Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain and called the monkeys together to prepare for the battle. He knew that this battle was of great importance and he had to go all out. The monkeys cheered and swore to follow the king to fight to the end.

Wukong stood in front of the Water Curtain Cave, looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals rolling in from afar, with great pride in his heart. He knew that this battle was a matter of life and death, but it also strengthened his determination to protect the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Children!" Wukong shouted loudly, "Today we in Huaguo Mountain are facing a powerful enemy, but as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us!" The monkeys responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

Wukong wielded his stick, which shone with golden light. He led the monkeys out of the Water Curtain Cave and charged directly at the heavenly soldiers and generals. A world-shaking battle began...

Wukong and the Heavenly King were fighting fiercely, and both sides were exhausted. But Wukong's faith remained unshakable. He knew that this battle was about the survival of Huaguo Mountain and his own dignity. He gritted his teeth and swung his stick at the Heavenly King again.

The Heavenly King was not to be outdone and raised his halberd to meet the attack. The two weapons clashed, and golden light shone everywhere. At this moment, Wukong suddenly used all his strength to strike, and the golden hoop smashed towards the Heavenly King with overwhelming force.

The king was horrified and raised his pagoda to fight back. But the pagoda, despite its golden light, was unable to withstand the full force of Wukong's attack. With a loud bang, the pagoda was blown away by Wukong's stick!

The king was seriously injured and vomited blood. He looked at Wukong's resolute and unyielding figure, and his heart was filled with helplessness and unwillingness. He knew that he had lost the battle and could never recover.

"Wukong..." The king uttered these two words with difficulty, "You...you won..."

Wukong put away his golden hoop and looked at the old and tired face of the Heavenly King, with mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that although the Heavenly King was an important official in the Heavenly Palace, he was also a worthy opponent.

"Old Li Jing..." Wukong said in a deep voice, "There is no hatred between you and me. We are fighting because of our different positions. Even though you lose the battle today, it is still an honor. But I have to protect Huaguo Mountain and my brothers, so I can't keep you."

After saying this, Wukong turned around and was about to leave. But at this moment, the Heavenly King suddenly shouted, "Wukong! Wait a minute!"

Wukong stopped and looked back at the Heavenly King. The Heavenly King took out a token from his arms and handed it to Wukong, saying, "This is a token from Heaven. It can guarantee your peace in Flower-Fruit Mountain for a while. Take it and use it!"

Wukong was stunned for a moment, then he took the token and said, "Thank you, King! But I, Wukong, act according to my heart and am not bound by anything!" After that, he threw the token away and it turned into a golden light and disappeared.

The Heavenly King looked at Wukong's departing back and sighed, "What a great Wukong! What a great Great Sage!" Then he slowly left with the help of the heavenly soldiers and generals...

Wukong returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, surrounded by monkeys and cheering. He stood in front of the Water Curtain Cave, looking at the distant sky, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. Although he won the battle, he felt exhausted, and he knew that the power of the Heavenly Court was too great to be shaken in a short time.

Wukong summoned the monkeys and said, "My children, although we have won this time, the power of Heaven is too great and we should not underestimate it. We need to practice diligently to be prepared for any eventuality." Upon hearing this, the monkeys all nodded in agreement and vowed to stand by the king's side.

Since then, Wukong has led the monkeys to practice day and night, and the Flower-Fruit Mountain is peaceful. However, Wukong is always worried about the unknown future. He knows that although he is strong, he cannot fight against the Heavenly Court alone.

One day, Wukong was cultivating in the mountains when he heard music from the sky. He became suspicious and jumped up to the clouds, only to see an immortal riding a crane, holding a jade slip and smiling.

"Wukong," the immortal said, "I am Taibai Jinxing, and I have come here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to deliver his message."

Wukong frowned slightly when he heard this, but he remained polite and said, "So it's Taibai Jinxing. I wonder what the Jade Emperor wants?"

Taibai Jinxing unfolded the jade slip and read: "The Jade Emperor heard that the Great Sage Wukong was an outstanding martial artist and had a heart of justice, so he pardoned his previous crimes and granted him the title of 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven' and appointed him to be in charge of the Peach Garden. I hope the Great Sage can submit to the Heavenly Court and protect the peace of the three realms together."

After hearing this, Wukong sneered in his heart. He knew that this was just a temporary measure by the Heavenly Court to bribe him. However, he was still arrogant, so how could he give in so easily?

"Taibai Jinxing," Wukong said, "Although I am not talented, I know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. The Heavenly Court used to oppress the people, how can I surrender? As for the title of 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven', I, Wukong, don't care about it!"

After saying this, Wukong turned around and tried to leave. Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Great Sage! The Jade Emperor knows what you want, and has ordered me to bring you something that may help you."

As he spoke, Taibai Jinxing took out something from his sleeve, which turned out to be a golden token. Wukong took the token and saw the words "Ruyi Jingu" engraved on it, which moved him.

"This is the Ruyi Golden Hoop," Taibai Jinxing explained, "It can change size according to one's will and can bind all things. If the Great Sage is willing to submit to the Heavenly Court, this golden hoop will be given to him; if not, please return the peaches and promise not to disturb the Heavenly Court again."

Wukong laughed inwardly when he heard this. He knew that this Ruyi Jingu was very important, but he also knew that the Heavenly Court would not give it to him easily. However, he also knew that what he wanted in his heart could not be changed because of one thing.

"Taibai Jinxing," Wukong said, "I, Wukong, only act according to my heart. Although this Ruyi Jingu is good, I don't need it. Go back and tell the Jade Emperor that I, Wukong, will never submit to the Heavenly Court!"

After saying that, Wukong threw the Ruyi Jingu into the sky, and it turned into a golden light and disappeared. Taibai Jinxing looked at Wukong's departing back and sighed, "What a great Wukong! What a great Great Sage!" Then he also rode away on a crane...

Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain and continued to lead the monkeys in their training. Although life was hard, it was comfortable. However, he was always worried about the unknown future and the unfinished grudges...
