Chapter 1077: Chapter 456: Bestowing the Name Sun Wukong! The Path for Sun Wukong!
The stone monkey showed no signs of refusal.
Wang Li smiled with satisfaction: "Good, then let’s go."
Immediately.
Wang Li circulated his True Yuan throughout his body and performed the teleportation divine skills.
In an instant, the surrounding space rippled like water, and an invisible space power descended upon Wang Li and the stone monkey.
The next moment, light and shadow transformed rapidly before his eyes, leaving no time to react.
They had already left Aolai State, traveling millions of miles afar.
They arrived before the Heavenly Palace’s Heavenly Gate in the Void of the Great Qin capital.
"This... this is?"
The stone monkey looked around in shock.
Raising his eyes, he saw the Heavenly Palace enveloped in mist, emanating immortal light, with pavilions and towers appearing and disappearing in the ethereal fog, adorned with countless shimmering colors and radiant lights.
The stone monkey was immediately excited, scratching his ears and cheeks, his eyes widened, and he kept exclaiming, "Oh wow, this truly is a land of immortals! I’ve truly broadened my horizons today!"
The way he looked was like he just discovered the most fascinating thing in the world.
"This monkey truly has innate spirituality, indeed amusing."
"No wonder His Majesty and the Crown Prince issued a decree to summon him."
"Moreover, the Buddhist Sect holds this monkey in high regard; there must be hidden reasons." Wang Li looked at the stone monkey’s demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh inwardly; this stone monkey was indeed innocent and carefree.
But considering the plans of the Buddhist Sect, Wang Li also realized that Great Qin must have plans for this stone monkey.
At this moment!
Ren Xiao, guarding the Heavenly Gate, saw Wang Li bringing the stone monkey, his expression turned tense, and he immediately stepped forward to inquire the reason.
"General Wang."
"What is this?"
Ren Xiao asked in surprise.
Wang Li smiled and clasped his hands, saying, "His Majesty and the Crown Prince wish to summon this stone monkey."
"I am ordered to escort him here."
Ren Xiao, upon hearing this, nodded without hesitation: "So that’s it, I shall open the Heavenly Gate."
Immediately.
Ren Xiao circulated his mana and cast a seal on the Heavenly Gate.
In an instant, the light at the gate was dazzling, making the stone monkey squint his eyes, even more shocked at heart; such divine spectacle, he had never seen while at Huaguo Mountain.
"It truly is a land of immortals."
"The senior is truly an immortal." The stone monkey thought excitedly at heart.
Passing through the Heavenly Gate, Wang Li led the stone monkey into the Heavenly Palace.
Along the way, exotic flowers and rare herbs emitted a refreshing fragrance, immortal birds, and auspicious beasts either soared in the sky or played between the trees, exuding a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere.
The stone monkey walked while looking around, continuously uttering sounds of amazement, full of curiosity for everything around.
Soon, they arrived at the Morning Discussion Hall in the Heavenly Palace.
The hall was majestic, with intricately carved beams and painted rafters; stone pillars were adorned with lifelike golden dragons that seemed ready to ascend at any moment.
The hall appeared solemn and majestic.
Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng sat high up in the hall, displaying an expression of authority mixed with tranquility.
The moment the stone monkey entered the hall, he immediately saw Ying Zheng. That overwhelming imperial presence froze him on the spot, feeling as if facing the master of heaven and earth, his heart filled with an indescribable awe, and his body slightly trembled.
And when his gaze fell on Zhao Feng, his initially tense expression was immediately replaced by ecstatic joy.
"Senior!"
The stone monkey shouted, running a few steps to Zhao Feng.
With a "thump," he knelt down.
A few loud kowtows followed: "Finally, I see you again!"
For the stone monkey, Zhao Feng was the first person he saw upon gaining consciousness and had provided him with much help and guidance. To him, Zhao Feng was the closest and most trustworthy person.
"This monkey is truly a person of understanding."
Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng exchanged smiles, their eyes full of satisfaction.
This stone monkey was indeed straightforward and pure; if nurtured meticulously in the future, he could become a great asset for Great Qin, a thought that lingered in Ying Zheng’s mind.
Zhao Feng gently raised his hand and said to Wang Li, "Minister Wang, you may withdraw now."
"I accept the order." Wang Li respectfully saluted, turned around, and left the hall, leaving only the stone monkey inside.
Zhao Feng looked at the kneeling stone monkey with a gentle smile, raised his hand, and said, "Monkey, rise, no need for formalities."
Upon hearing this, the stone monkey quickly stood up and moved to the side. Although he tried hard to stand straight, his inherent monkey nature was hard to change, occasionally scratching his head and arms, resembling a lively monkey without any decorum whatsoever. However, Zhao Feng didn’t mind at all; to him, the stone monkey’s innocence and simplicity were the most precious.
If he were completely tamed and became a ceremonious Victory Buddha, Zhao Feng actually wouldn’t want him.
Watching the stone monkey’s earnestness.
Zhao Feng slightly squinted his eyes, his expression turning serious, and asked, "Do you know who that bald donkey was, whom you fought with General Wang Li?"
The stone monkey tilted his head, thinking of the bald one he fought with Wang Li in Aolai State, his face filled with confusion. He blankly shook his head, puzzled, and replied, "I don’t know."
"But the bald donkey didn’t seem like a good person, seemed to want to capture me."
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Feng chuckled, then spoke solemnly: "That bald donkey is a member of the Western Buddhist Sect."
After a pause, Zhao Feng continued, "They harbor ulterior motives, intending to take you to Nan Zhanbu Continent, for others to teach you, to use you as a pawn to manipulate you, planning to suppress and exploit you to turn you into a puppet, driven by their Buddhist Sect."
The stone monkey listened half-understandingly, but deeply trusted Zhao Feng; aware of the sinister intentions of the Buddhist Sect, he was instantly furious.
