Chapter 445: Monkey King Ascends
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was the Heavens’ compensation to Monkey. No one could envy it. Because in that situation, if anyone was in his position, perhaps they could not be as decisive as him.
Lin Qingzhu was relieved, and so was everyone present. They were not jealous, but they were happy for the monkey from the bottom of their hearts.
He deserved such treatment.
Golden light continuously surged towards the monkey, and a blurry outline finally appeared on his body.
Ye Qiu used the power of the golden lotus to condense his body again and injected the profundities of the supreme spell into his body.
!!
He shouted, “Wukong, why aren’t you waking up?”
In an instant, the monkey, who was in a daze, woke up when it heard that familiar call.
“Master, Master…”
He hurriedly searched for the source of the voice under the misty chaos and shouted anxiously, “Master, is that you?”
Finally hearing his response, Ye Qiu smiled faintly and reprimanded, “You monkey, I’ve long warned you that you should do your best. You didn’t listen and lost your life for nothing.”
Monkey did not dare to refute. In the world, only the old man he respected the most could make him lower his status.
He replied in a low voice, “Master, I know my mistake. Please punish me.”
“Haha… Punish?”
Ye Qiu smiled faintly. In the misty world, Patriarch Bodhi’s image appeared in front of Monkey. He smiled kindly and said, “Wukong, you didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I punish you?”
Hearing this, Monkey raised his head in surprise and looked at his amiable master. He was incomparably touched.
This was the first time in his life that he had obtained the approval of his master. He was excited from the bottom of his heart.
“Master, did I really do nothing wrong?”
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded. He gently stroked the monkey’s fur on the back of his head.
“Wukong, you sacrificed yourself this time to save the world. All living beings in the world see you as the savior. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m proud of you. Ever since you entered the sect, I have never thought that you could do an earth-shattering undertaking.
“Now, you have surprised me. You… did well.”
Monkey could no longer suppress the joy in his heart after finally obtaining his master’s approval. He jumped up and down excitedly.
He was really happy, happy from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Qiu was very gratified when he saw his happy appearance. This disciple… In the beginning, he felt that Monkey was stubborn and compet.i.tive. He would never stop improving himself, so there was no need for him to invest too much effort into it. He only needed to teach him skills.
Therefore, he ignored him most of the time.
But slowly, Ye Qiu realized that he needed his encouragement more than Lin Qingzhu and the others. He needed him to guide him on the right path. He was innocent and did not know the ways of the world. If he met someone with an evil heart, he might bring him into the abyss of sin.
Back then, although Ye Qiu had arranged for him to do his homework, he still understood many principles of the world.
His mind had matured.
After a short moment of excitement, Monkey began to feel down again. He came in front of Ye Qiu and knelt down with a clang, kowtowing three times.
“Master, I was born mischievous and caused a huge disaster. Although I made up for it now, I also lost my life because of it. I am ashamed of Master’s painstaking nurturing and will not be able to be filial to you in the future. These three kowtows are to repay Master’s kindness.”
The monkey knew that he was already dead. Everything he saw now was a dream. He was very happy. Although it was a dream, he finally heard praise from his master before he left.
He no longer had any regrets.
Looking at his disappointed expression, Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, “Wukong, it’s not too late to repent. Wake up.”
Ye Qiu gently poked him, and a powerful vitality was instantly injected into the monkey’s head.
In an instant, the monkey felt his body recover at an extremely fast speed. A powerful vitality instantly surged into his limbs and bones.
“This power, could it be that… I’m still alive?”
In an instant, Monkey was shocked. He felt as if his body had been blown up by a violent wind. With a loud bang,
The golden lotus in the sky instantly exploded.
“Everyone, step back. Be careful not to be implicated.”
This sudden commotion stunned everyone present. The elders of the various Holy Lands hurriedly made the disciples retreat to prevent accidental injuries.
The golden lotus in the sky suddenly erupted with golden light. Immediately, a golden monkey jumped out.
It flickered with seven-colored light. Under the gazes of everyone, the Monkey King’s body condensed again and instantly jumped out of the chaos, pa.s.sing through the Nine Heavens.
“It’s done!”
Lian Feng exclaimed again. All the uneasiness in her heart completely relaxed at this moment.
A Heavenly Gate suddenly opened in the sky and shone on the shattered lotus. Hundreds of human providence instantly gathered towards the monkey. A shocking bang sounded. It was the phenomenon of breaking through. The monkey opened his arms and felt the baptism of heaven and earth.
He had broken through! He had accepted the baptism of heaven and earth, condensed his golden body again, comprehended a supreme Dao technique, and transcended.
He was only a step away from becoming an immortal and attaining the Dao. Monkey had successfully taken that step.
Everyone was happy and excited from the bottom of their hearts. This hero who saved all living beings had ended up like this. It was the best outcome for everyone.
They were happy for the monkey.
When the light dissipated, Monkey summoned his Jingu Rod again and looked back at the chaos. His master’s figure became fainter and fainter until it disappeared from his sight.
Monkey wanted to chase after him to persuade him to stay, but he heard a sentence floating from afar.
“Wukong, this world doesn’t belong to you. You should leave. There’s a wider world waiting for you to explore. Our master-disciple relationship has ended. You have already attained the Dao. Why are you still attached to the mortal world? Go…”
After saying that, Ye Qiu’s figure completely disappeared from his sight. Monkey couldn’t bear it, but after today’s conversation, the regret in his heart had been resolved.
Looking up at the sky above his head, he understood that he could do whatever he wanted. This world was too small and could not accommodate him in the end. He should go to a wider world.
After making up his mind, the monkey entered the Heavenly Gate and ascended.
He… was the first living being in millions of years to ascend and become an immortal.
Everyone watched him leave until he disappeared from everyone’s sight. They were happy and gratified from the bottom of their hearts.
However, although he had left, this calamity was far from over for everyone.
