Chapter 787: The Great Sage of Ten Thousand Jin

  That day, Lei Hao and Sun Wukong were drinking wine in the great hall of Water Curtain Cave, talking about their past loves.

  Just as they were drinking and having a great time, a small demon suddenly came in to report: "I have seen the Great King and the Second Great King. Outside the door, there are two demons named Horned Ghost Kings who want to see the Great King."

  After Sun Wukong finished drinking a large bowl of strong liquor in one gulp, he said loudly: "Unicorn Ghost King? Doesn't my 72 caves have a Unicorn Ghost King? How did two more Unicorn Ghost Kings appear? Bring them in and let me take a look."

  Before long, a little demon led two tall and sturdy demons in. Lei Hao took a closer look and saw that the two demons were over six feet tall, with muscles bulging under their clothes, blue eyes, red hair, and deathly pale skin without any human color. They wore silk clothes but looked strange no matter how you looked at them.

  "Looking at these two, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before?" Lei Hao thought to himself after taking a look. He carefully recalled for a moment and realized that he had never met these two demons before.

  The two demons have arrived, both eyes fixed on Lei Hao, elegantly bowed their heads, and asked in a stiff tone with a strong nasal accent: "Are you the King of Beautiful Monkeys?"

  As soon as he heard this emphasis, Lei Hao's heart moved, "Is this the emphasis of a foreigner who learned Chinese in his previous life?"

  Lei Hao remained expressionless, but Sun Wukong was somewhat annoyed and slammed the wine bowl heavily on the bluestone table, pointing at Lei Hao in anger and shouting: "You two demons are so rude, you haven't seen me, the king, can't even recognize a monkey? What kind of monkey is this?"

  Lei Hao gently placed the wine bowl on the table, laughing and saying: "Dead monkey, don't get angry, don't drag me into this. If you're impatient, let's go out and practice separately."

  Sun Wukong pointed at Lei Hao's hand, somewhat embarrassed, and transmitted a message to him: "In front of outsiders, can you spare some face for Old Sun?"

  Lei Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, and he stopped speaking, turning his head to look at the two unicorn ghost kings with interest.

  After Sun Wukong finished scolding, the two demons immediately knelt down on the ground. After Lei Hao finished speaking, they exclaimed in unison with a strong emphasis, "Great and wise Monkey King, please forgive our ignorance! We were too excited in your presence, which led to such an unforgivable mistake..."

  "Shut up, you two!" Sun Wukong impatiently interrupted the two demons' endless chanting. After they both closed their mouths, Sun Wukong asked, "You two mixed-up demons, what brings you before me?"

  "My brother and I have long heard that the great king is recruiting talents, but unfortunately, we had no chance to meet you. Recently, we heard that you have been appointed as an official in heaven and granted the heavenly records, and now you are back in your hometown. My brother and I specially came to offer a yellow robe to congratulate you. If you don't despise us, please accept us under your command, and we will definitely do our best to serve you with all our might." One of the monsters stepped forward and said this well-prepared speech in a rhythmic tone.

  After finishing speaking, a big hand suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a golden robe with exquisite workmanship emerged. The robe was densely embroidered with pearls, agate, and other precious items, looking extremely luxurious and extraordinary.

  Sun Wukong took only one glance, and he fell in love with the robe. He stood up, rushed over in two strides, snatched the robe away, and hastily put it on. Instantly, the room was filled with splendor and magnificence.

  Lei Hao sneered while drinking: "Vulgar, truly vulgar beyond endurance. A Golden Immortal like you always likes to wear clothes that reflect golden light."

  Sun Wukong didn't bother to respond to Lei Hao, and instead struck a few "powerful" poses, only nodding in satisfaction after a while. He then turned to the two single-horned ghost kings and said: "This robe is not bad, I'll take it for myself. You two can enter my Huaguo Mountain Demon Kingdom from now on, but what skills do you have?"

  The two monsters puffed out their chests and proudly said: "We two brothers have great strength."

  Sun Wukong smiled and pulled out a small golden needle from his ear. Lei Hao, who was standing beside him, also burst out laughing.

  Sun Wukong threw the golden needle to the ground and muttered, "Treasure, rise, rise." The golden needle began to grow longer and thicker, quickly becoming a gigantic round pillar over ten zhang high and twenty zhang wide.

  Sun Wukong turned his head to face the two demons who were staring blankly and said, "As long as you two demons can move my treasure a little bit, I will appoint you two as the vanguard of the Flower Fruit Mountain Demon Kingdom's front army, leading 100,000 demon soldiers."

  The two monsters nodded in agreement, one stepped forward and hugged the Golden Hoop Rod, exerting force at the same time, but the Golden Hoop Rod didn't budge.

  Half a moment later, the two demons looked at each other with hesitation on their faces, took a step back simultaneously, and said in unison: "In my name, unseal." After that, a thick and evil black air burst out from both demons' bodies, covering them within half a breath. Neither Lei Hao nor Sun Wukong could see what was happening inside the black air.

  The two demons brought a black aura and hugged the Golden Hoop Rod, only to hear a loud explosion. The Golden Hoop Rod actually swayed about an inch off the ground, although it was only about an inch, but the two demons finally succeeded.

  A loud crash shook the ground, and the Golden Cudgel smashed heavily onto the earth.

  "In my name, seal." The two demons said in unison, and the black aura was withdrawn into their bodies. However, for a split second, the scene inside the black aura was exposed.

  But in a split second, Leihao saw it, and Sun Wukong also saw it.

  "Ox-head, are these two demons your kin?" Sun Wukong's curious voice came from beside Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao's face was also somewhat puzzled, and a thought moved, a voice in Sun Wukong's ear suddenly said, "No!"

  "Great King, we've done it." The two demons turned around and respectfully said to Sun Wukong.

  Sun Wukong did not hesitate and said loudly: "Alright, from now on you will be the vanguard of the Flower Fruit Mountain Demon Kingdom's front army. Come, meet the two great kings."

  The two monsters knelt down to thank him, and then one of the monsters came forward and asked seemingly unintentionally: "I don't know how long the king has been in heaven, what kind of official position did the Jade Emperor give to the king?"

  As soon as Sun Wukong mentioned this, he became extremely depressed. He picked up a bowl of strong liquor from the table and drank it all in big gulps. Then he said casually: "Don't mention it again. That Jade Emperor is unappreciative, with my abilities, I was given an insignificant title." Sun Wukong wanted to save face, so he only told Lei Hao that he was raising horses in heaven, but to outsiders, he just said he was dissatisfied with the small official position and came down from heaven. As for what he did, he absolutely refused to mention it.

  The Great King of the Lonely Horn then said: "With the Great King's abilities, why go to heaven to be an official? Being a 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' in this Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, isn't that better?"

  Sun Wukong was overjoyed, slapping his thigh and exclaiming: "Great, great, great!" He had been worried that this trip to Heaven would end in embarrassment and humiliation, but now he had such a magnificent title.

  Looking for a meeting with him, how can he not be happy?

  With excitement, Sun Wukong turned his head to Lei Hao and said: "Since I am called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, you should also be called a Great Sage! You and I are brothers, and it's good for us to make a name together in the three realms!"

  Lei Hao thought to himself, "Since we've all become the Eight Great Saints, this title is inevitable. Now that I've gone against Monkey's wishes, when the time comes, my brothers will also be unable to shirk their responsibility. Forget it, let's just go with the flow."

  "I shall be known as the Great Sage Equal of Heaven!"

  Sun Wukong muttered: "Great Sage of the Grand Marsh? Although it can't compare to my title, but it's still acceptable." Randomly shouting: "Old Horse, come in."

  "Your Majesty, why have you summoned me?" General Ma hurried in and asked.

  Sun Wukong said solemnly, "Quickly prepare two flags. On one flag write the four large characters 'Qitian Dasheng', this is my title from now on, and you are only allowed to address me as Qitian Dasheng, not Great King anymore. On the other flag write the four large characters 'Wanjun Dasheng', which is the title of the Second Great King, and in the future, you can only address him as Wanjun Dasheng, not Second Great King again. Set up the two flags side by side on the top of Huaguo Mountain, and also inform all the kings of the various caves."

  Marshall Ma heard this and immediately knelt down saying: "Your humble servant congratulates Your Majesty, Second Highness..."

  Marshal Ma had not finished speaking when Sun Wukong interrupted him with a look of dissatisfaction, "It is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Great Sage of Ten Thousand Jin."

  Marshal Ma nodded in agreement and backed out with his waist bent.

  After Marshal Tianpeng left, Sun Wukong jumped onto the stone chair and excitedly said to Lei Hao: "My brother and I have such a good thing, but we can't forget all the brothers. Tomorrow, I'll take the little monster to invite all the brothers to come together."

  Lei Hao nodded and said: "This is for the best. We haven't seen you brothers in a long time either. I just wonder if Niu Lao Da has returned to the mountain or not?"

  Sun Wukong heard this, and a hint of grey also floated onto his face. The memory of the great battle at Mount Accumulated Thunder was too deeply etched in him, that 'wonderful memory' of being smashed into the mountain body three or four times, Sun Wukong's current body couldn't forget it either.

  "I must go to Heaven's Palace again, so many good treasures, if I get them all, who can throw me into the mountain?" Monkey King thought secretly in his heart.

  Two brothers with a big heart drank heavily, the two single-horned devil kings standing by stepped forward to bid farewell. Sun Wukong waved his hand, and just as the two brothers were about to leave, Lei Hao called out to them.

  "Where did you two come from?" Lei Hao and Sun Wukong asked casually while drinking wine.

  Two single-horned demon kings exchanged a subtle glance, and one of them stepped forward, saying: "My brother and I are minor demons from the countryside of Beiqiu Zhou, we've heard of the great name of Qitian Dasheng and have come to surrender."

  Lei Hao didn't go see the two demons, and instead drank wine by himself. After downing a large bowl, he suddenly asked: "I wonder if you've ever heard of Hell?"

  Lei Hao finished speaking, and Er Yao's expression remained unchanged as he said: "I will report back to the Great Sage Wanjun, my brother and I are not worthy of hearing this."

  Lei Hao carefully observed the expressions of the two demons, and found that under his gaze, their eyes seemed a bit unnatural. With a sweep of his divine sense, he discovered that their heartbeats had accelerated significantly.

  "In that case, you can withdraw." Lei Hao waved his hand and said.
