526: Chapter 231 Stealing Spiritual Medicine 526: Chapter 231 Stealing Spiritual Medicine Sun Wukong looked at the time indicated and immediately burst into laughter.
“Only three days from now, this fool is really in a rush.”
However, it might also be the idea of Great Emperor Ziwei.
After all, Great Emperor Ziwei wants to use Tianpeng’s marriage to play some scheme.
Fahai was somewhat surprised and said, “I didn’t expect the Heavenly Court would send an invitation to this humble monk; it’s really flattering.”
Sun Wukong glanced at him and couldn’t help laughing, “What’s so strange about that?
No matter how you look at it, you are a Heavenly Venerate, and even without any breakthroughs, you’re still a Celestial Immortal.
It’s only natural for you to receive an invitation.
You don’t think that someone of your stature, who is also so closely associated with Old Sun, wouldn’t qualify to attend Marshal Tianpeng’s wedding banquet, do you?”
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Fahai couldn’t help but give an embarrassed smile and said, “I almost forgot about that, I’m basking in the Great Saint’s glory.”
Fahai was somewhat excited and really wanted to take a trip to the Heavenly Court to meet the various immortals.
He wanted to see if those legendary top-notch powers were as described in the stories.
Sun Wukong didn’t think much of it but was indeed very happy about Tianpeng’s marriage.
The marriage was something he had played a major role in facilitating, and now that the two of them were finally getting married, Sun Wukong was naturally happy.
“Great Saint, shall we set off now?”
Fahai couldn’t help but ask.
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, “If you’re going to a wedding banquet, you should bring a gift.
Do you plan on going empty-handed?”
Fahai was taken aback, only then realizing that he was all alone and genuinely couldn’t come up with an impressive gift.
If he went like that, it would be a huge embarrassment for Huaguo Mountain.
Thinking this, he hesitantly asked Sun Wukong, “Great Saint, I don’t have any treasures.
Could you possibly lend me one to use as a gift for Marshal Tianpeng’s wedding?”
“I don’t have any either,”
Sun Wukong said seriously.
This was indeed no false claim.
Sun Wukong really didn’t have any; he had been suppressed for thousands of years and had only been out for a century, and all the while he had been busy.
Where would he get any valuable items?
The Creation of Heaven and Earth was a long time ago, and although there were still some places in the Three Realms that had not been explored,
more than ninety percent had already been thoroughly searched.
The truly good things left for them, the later generations of living beings, were extremely rare.
Even if Sun Wukong set out to search, it might take a thousand years to find even one item.
Fahai scratched his head, knowing Sun Wukong wasn’t spouting nonsense or deliberately refusing him.
Just how poor Sun Wukong was, these immortals around him were all too clear.
“Then what do we do?”
Fahai couldn’t help but ask, both he and Sun Wukong were at a loss, exchanging helpless glances.
After thinking for quite some time, Sun Wukong finally said, “We may not have it, but that doesn’t mean other places don’t.
Let’s take a trip to Kunlun.
There is the Elixir of Immortality in Kunlun, along with other precious treasures.
In the past, I wasn’t really enemies with the Queen Mother of the West, so Old Sun refrained from making a move; now I see no reason to hold back.
Stealing some stuff to use as a gift sounds good enough.”
Fahai was shocked.
He thought Sun Wukong had some great ideas, but never expected it to involve stealing from Kunlun Mountain.
If the people from the Court of Ancient Gods discovered them, at least hundreds of powerful beings would be after them.
The main issue was, if Sun Wukong were found out, it would be hugely embarrassing.
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven going to steal?
If the word got out, Sun Wukong’s reputation would be ruined.
Sun Wukong saw what Fahai was thinking and almost burst into laughter.
“Old Sun is the ancestor of all thieves; even if I really get discovered, the living beings of the Three Realms will understand.
They’re used to it.”
Fahai: “…”
Seeing Sun Wukong had made up his mind, Fahai thought for a moment before saying, “Great Saint, I’ll accompany you on this trip.
If there’s any danger, I will definitely be the first to run away; you don’t need to worry that I’ll act rashly.
After all, you won’t die, and after being suppressed for a few thousand years, you’ll be as good as new.”
Sun Wukong: “I appreciate your concern.”
Fahai: “It’s the least I can do.”
Holding back the urge to explode Fahai’s head, Sun Wukong set off on his own.
He instructed Fahai to wait for him at Gold Mountain Temple while he would take action on his own.
One reason was that Fahai’s cloud wasn’t as fast as his own, and another was the concern that Fahai’s lesser strength would easily give them away.
Even though Fahai had reached the strength of a Heavenly Venerate, that was not something notable on Kunlun Mountain.
Sun Wukong alone, even if discovered, would still have a chance to escape.
But if Fahai joined him, not only would it be easy to get exposed, but escaping afterwards would probably be very difficult as well.
For his own safety, Sun Wukong couldn’t possibly take him along.
Fahai was a bit dejected but obediently went straight to Gold Mountain Temple, where he waited for Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong mounted the clouds and rushed towards Kunlun.
When he neared Kunlun, he used his Invisibility Technique while also concealing his aura, cautiously entering deep into Kunlun.
Since he was set on thievery, naturally he couldn’t walk in openly.
Besides, he was alone, and this was the lair of the Queen Mother of the West.
If he were bold enough to show himself openly, he would immediately learn what it means to die.
There were three major powers in Kunlun.
Ying Zhao, Lu Wu, and Kai Ming.
As Sun Wukong cautiously avoided detection, even so, when he approached a gate, Lu Wu still opened his eyes.
His nine tails swishing, his tiger-like body tensed, Lu Wu’s human face wore a hint of vigilance as he scrutinized the surroundings.
Lu Wu sensed a strange presence, as if someone had come near.
However, Lu Wu couldn’t find any evidence of someone’s existence.
No matter how Lu Wu searched, he found nothing.
