Chapter 541: Joining A Faction?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A beating three times a day?

To be honest, Wang Mang did not expect that Sun Wukong would be bullied so badly by Zixia.

This left Wang Mang somewhat speechless.

Wang Mang even wanted to say to Sun Wukong, “You’re the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal! You have to stand up for yourself!”

Truth be told though, Wang Mang was happy to see the monkey being bullied.

This was because it would be impossible for him to see Sun Wukong in such a miserable state in the future. After all, Sun Wukong’s strength was improving rapidly every day.

Wang Mang even suspected that this fellow would catch up to him in less than ten years.

At this moment, Wang Mang chuckled and said, “Alright, what did you do to her? Why would Junior Sister bully you?”

“Look at Junior Sister. She’s beautiful and has a nice personality. How can she be as scary as you say?”

Hearing this, Zixia Fairy nodded shyly and said proudly, “That’s right! Stinky monkey, I’m not as scary as you make me out to be. Senior Brother understands me better.”

Sun Wukong was in complete despair. He looked at Wang Mang with a resentful expression, his eyes filled with grievance and pleading.

He did not expect that this senior brother of his would stand on the side of this junior sister that he had just met!

He was so depressed that he did not say anything.

At this moment, the system’s voice suddenly rang out in Wang Mang’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Successfully obtained 1 million energy points!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Immortal Treasure Chest xi!]

After hearing this, Wang Mang was stunned.

What the f*ck? What was going on?

The mission was completed just like that? Had their fate been sealed just because of that one interaction?

Wang Mang was confused and befuddled. Was the mission really that simple?

In any case, it was a good thing.

[Ding! Host’s current status detected! The host is given the following mission options!]

[Mission 1: You don’t need to be in a faction to survive in the world of Journey to the West. Isn’t it fun to just be a demon king?]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 1 million energy points, Top-grade Gacha xi!]

[Mission 2: How can you not be in a faction in the world of Journey to the West? Join the Heavenly Court faction!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 1.5 million energy points, Top-grade Gacha xi!]

[Mission 3: How can you not be in a faction in the world of Journey to the West? Join the Buddhist Faction!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 2 million energy points, Immortal-grade Gacha xi!]

[Mission No. 4: You don’t need to be in a faction to survive in the world of Journey to the West. Become a powerful independent expert (reach Tier 5)!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 5 million energy points, Immortal-grade Gacha xi, Immortal Treasure Chest xi! ]

Oh? Another mission so soon?

However, this mission was a little difficult for Wang Mang.

Why? Well, regardless of which faction it was in this world, their situations were complicated and messy. It was definitely not good to join one of them.

Just the complexity of the matter was enough to give Wang Mang a major headache.

For example, the 33 Heavens had the three Saints, and their disciples were basically part of the Heavenly Court.

However, the relationship between these three Saints was not very good, and if he joined the Heavenly Court, he would be forced to choose sides.

Therefore, Wang Mang was reluctant to join the Heavenly Court, as there was too much scheming and powerplay involved.

As for joining the Buddhist Sect, Wang Mang was even more against it. He did not want to be a bald man.

Moreover, from Wang Mang’s perspective, Buddhism in this world left him speechless. They professed their desire to save all living beings, but what was the result?

In the original story of the Journey to the West, the demons became stronger as they progressed.

Moreover, there were also conflicts in the Buddhist Sect. The current Buddha, who was also the Present Buddha, was the disciple of one of the Saints in the past!

The relationship was somewhat complicated. It could be said that both the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect were very complicated factions. Thus, Wang Mang was learning toward the fourth mission option, which did not have any requirements other than to reach Tier 5.

Wang Mang pondered for a moment and made a decision.

“System, I choose Mission 4!”

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to get your reward!]

By the time Wang Mang came back to his senses, he realized that Zixia and Sun Wukong were staring at each other.

Seeing this, Wang Mang could not help but laugh.

“Alright, Wukong! You’re her senior brother! You can’t bully Junior Sister Zixia. Shouldn’t you be kinder to her in the future?”

Sun Wukong looked at Wang Mang with a bitter look before turning around and leaving.

“Senior Brother, 1 will also be leaving first,” Zixia said as she laughed and chased after Sun Wukong.

“Hey, stinky monkey, wait for me!”

Wang Mang smiled and shook his head. After sizing up his fellow disciples who were practicing their techniques all around the back mountain, he ran toward his master’s courtyard.

If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Mang would be leaving this place soon to increase his strength.

Now that he had comprehended a top-grade divine power, and evolved to the point that he broke through and reached the fifth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, he would not be able to increase his strength if he stayed here.

Since that was the case, Wang Mang might as well go out and seek opportunities to reach Tier 5 before Sun Wukong’s Journey to the West began!

Once he reached Tier 5, Wang Mang would have the strength to protect himself in this world, and would be able to make the most of the opportunities here.

In Wang Mang’s opinion, this world was full of opportunities, as one’s participation in the Journey to the West would award merit. In fact, merit could be called the currency of this world, and every expert wanted merit, which was why even Tier 5 experts participated.

However, only those with power and influence would be able to reap the greatest rewards..
