Chapter 32 Monkey Brother Dives Into the Sea! Monkey Brother Doesn’t Want It? I’ll Take It!
Dive into the sea?
Sun Wukong puffed out his chest proudly.
“What’s so difficult about that?”
He stood up straight and declared, “Since I attained the Dao, I have mastered the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations and the Somersault Cloud divine ability. I can turn invisible, escape, conjure magic, and control spells!”
“There is a road to the heavens, a gate to the underworld, I walk the sun and moon without leaving a shadow, pass through gold and stone unhindered, water cannot drown me, fire cannot burn me!”
“Forget diving into the sea—where in the world can I not go?”
The Four Elder Monkeys cheered in unison.
“Great King, since you possess such divine abilities, beneath our Iron Bridge lies a waterway leading straight to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace!”
“The Dragon Palace holds countless treasures. If you are willing to go, why not ask the old Dragon King for a fitting divine weapon?”
Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up with excitement, and he laughed.
“Excellent! I’ll go see the old Dragon King right away!”
Yellow Wind King’s eyes gleamed with thought. He stood up and said, “Monkey Brother, I’ll go too. If we don’t find a weapon for you, I’ll gather some materials to forge one for you!”
Sun Wukong grinned.
“Good brother! Let’s go, let’s go!”
With a leap, he soared over the heads of the demons and landed at the bridge outside Water Curtain Cave. He performed a Water-Breathing Spell, formed a hand seal, and with a splash, dove into the waves, parting the water as he strode towards the Eastern Sea’s depths.
Yellow Wind King was not naturally adept in water, but after mastering the Seventy-Two Transformations, he had gained the ability to traverse and enter water freely. He formed a seal, shook his body, and transformed into a goldfish, leaping along the waterfall into the water and catching up to Sun Wukong.
______
Not far into their journey, they encountered a sea-patrolling yaksha. This yaksha had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the monkey demon entering the sea.
“Strange… could this be a demon king or celestial being?”
Blocking their path, the yaksha demanded.
“Who are you? Where do you come from? Speak clearly so I can report properly!”
Sun Wukong grinned and declared, “I am Sun Wukong, the Heaven-born Sage of Flower Fruit Mountain! Your Old Dragon King is my close neighbor—how can you not recognize me?”
“Flower Fruit Mountain?”
The yaksha shuddered.
“Could it be… this is the same one who stirred up the sea with his divine powers recently?”
Not daring to delay, the yaksha rushed to the Dragon Palace to report.
________
Upon hearing the report, the Dragon King hurriedly stood up and, along with his dragon sons, grandsons, shrimp soldiers, and crab generals, left the palace to greet the visitors.
When he saw the two figures approaching, he glanced at the yaksha.
The yaksha scratched his head.
“Why is there an extra one?”
Forget it.
The Dragon King sighed inwardly.
“Misfortune never comes alone. If one trouble arrives, another follows. More or less makes no difference now.”
Experienced and shrewd, the Dragon King smiled warmly and stepped forward.
“Ah, two honored immortals! Please, come in!”
______
The Yellow Wind King observed him closely.
[Species]: Dragon · Golden Dragon (30%)
[Realm]: Refining Spirit · Taiyi Loose Immortal
[Traits]: True Dragon Bloodline (Gold), Summoning Wind and Rain (Gold), Dragon Might (Purple)…
The Yellow Wind King was surprised.
“The Grand Eastern Sea Dragon King is only a Taiyi Loose Immortal?”
“And his bloodline purity is barely higher than a small carp?”
It made sense now.
In Journey to the West, the Four Sea Dragon Kings were always submissive and called themselves ‘Little Dragons’. It wasn’t an act—it was the truth.
It seemed the Four Sea Dragon Kings were merely figureheads, while the true powerful dragons remained hidden in the shadows. After all, immortal and divine titles were treasures in the eyes of mortals and weak demons, but to great divine beings, they were nothing but shackles.
“I was born free in this world—why would I submit to control?”
_____
Yellow Wind King and Sun Wukong strode in without hesitation. The Dragon Palace was a sight to behold golden pavilions, jade towers, pearl-studded halls, coral decorations, and crystal embellishments glittered everywhere.
The guards stood at attention, stationed every three steps, with patrolling sentries every five steps. Among them, dragon maidens and pearl-clad courtesans, with graceful figures and exquisite features, floated through the palace, their silken skirts trailing behind them. Once inside, tea was served.
The Dragon King, probing for information, asked, “When did the two of you attain immortality? Under which master did you study?”
Sun Wukong, ever cunning, smiled and replied slyly, “My brother and I left home to cultivate and attain an immortal, indestructible body.”
This clever response sidestepped the Dragon King’s probe. Without wasting time, Sun Wukong got straight to the point.
“Recently, I’ve been teaching my disciples and guarding my mountain. But alas, I lack a fitting weapon!”
“I have long heard that my esteemed neighbor enjoys the luxuries of the Dragon Palace, surely possessing many divine weapons. I have come specifically to request one.”
______
“A weapon?”
This was simple enough.
Moreover, considering Flower Fruit Mountain’s recent display of power, this might be a show of strength—a warning.
If he refused, The Dragon King couldn’t afford to reject. He immediately ordered his Commander of Barramundi to present a crescent moon blade.
Sun Wukong took one glance and said, “I don’t use sabers. Give me another!”
Yellow Wind King’s eyes sparkled.
“Let me try!”
He stepped forward, lifted the crescent moon blade, and scanned it with his divine sense.
Weight: 1,800 pounds
Nine postnatal enchantments
Material: A spiritual-grade weapon!
More importantly, four of the enchantments were techniques Yellow Wind King had never seen before—a great learning opportunity!
Yellow Wind King grinned.
“Old Dragon King, I’ll take this one! Name your price!”
The Dragon King studied him—a tall, lean, sharp-faced demon rat, much more refined than that monkey. More interestingly, he sensed a trace of dragon energy on him.
“Has he interacted with other dragons before?”
The Dragon King’s eyes flickered. Then, he feigned generosity and said, “Ah, no need to haggle. If you like it, take it! The Dragon Palace has no shortage of treasures!”
Yellow Wind King chuckled.
“Alright, I’ll gladly accept!”
_____
Next, the Dragon King offered a nine-pronged fork to Sun Wukong. Wukong swung it around and dismissed it.
“Too light! Too light! Too light!”
The Dragon King was stunned.
“This fork weighs 3,600 pounds!”
Yellow Wind King stepped up again.
“Let me see!”
This twelve-enchantment weapon featured three entirely new enchantments—a valuable discovery.
Yellow Wind King grinned.
“Old Dragon King, I’ll take this too! Name your price!”
The Dragon King: “…”
At this point, he knew exactly what Yellow Wind King was going to say next.
