"My strength has actually increased?"
Sun Wukong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Just chanting the "Meditation Method" once could enhance one's strength? That's too terrifying! But considering the terrifying existence I had witnessed, it didn't seem impossible. Right, there are also the group files!
Knowing that the God of Hongmeng was not Tathagata Buddha, King Wukong the King of Demons also realized the chat group was not from Mount Ling Holy Land.
His consciousness entered the chat group, and he rapidly skimmed through file after file.
So this chat group is akin to an artifact connecting the Myriad of Realms! Propagating teachings and making ritual offerings can earn rewards from the God of Hongmeng, while prayers only yield the most basic divine grace. After these people made offerings, they instantly transformed from ordinary humans into beings that could rival Immortals and Buddhas. The God of Hongmeng is truly generous! If I too were to receive a reward, wouldn't I be able to thrash Old Tathagata?
At this thought, excitement sparked in the eyes of King Wukong the King of Demons.
Despite his boisterous taunts, he knew all too well that he was no match for Tathagata.
Chant the "Meditation Method," receive Divine Power as protection, and let's try to see if I can get out!
King Wukong the King of Demons, recalling Hongmeng's words, earnestly chanted the "Meditation Method" while simultaneously leaping up.
This time, Tathagata's seal showed no reaction, and he shot straight out of the cave, escaping the seal.
I'm out! Haha, I've escaped! The God of Hongmeng is indeed powerful! Old Tathagata, you trash, just you wait!
King Wukong the King of Demons looked back at the seal, which appeared as lifeless as an inanimate object, feeling exhilarated. With a somersault, he flipped into the sky, bursting with excitement.
King Wukong the King of Demons: "Thanks to the great God of Hongmeng, after five hundred years, I'm finally out! I'm going to start propagating teachings and prepare for the ritual offerings right away!"
Soul Hall Sacred Girl: "Congratulations on escaping your bonds, Demon King. How joyous!"
Huashan Sect Master: "Congratulations on escaping your bonds, Demon King. How joyous!"
Upper God Dog Son: "Congratulations on escaping your bonds, Demon King. How joyous!"
DING. Upper God Dog Son has uploaded a video—Journey to the West: The Demon Subduing.
Journey to the West: The Demon Subduing?
King Wukong the King of Demons paused in the sky. He wasn't surprised by Wang Hao's video, since he had already gone through all the files and chat records of the group.
Originally, he had wanted to get on friendly terms with the members before asking Wang Hao if there was any news about his world, but to his surprise, the latter had sent it directly.
King Wukong the King of Demons: "Thanks, Brother Wang!"
DING. King Wukong the King of Demons has sent an exclusive red envelope to Upper God Dog Son.
Upper God Dog Son: "Thanks, Demon King."
Wang Hao, with the hand speed honed from twenty years of being single, swiftly claimed the red packet. It contained a monkey hair imbued with the force of a single strike from King Wukong the King of Demons.
Who would have thought that this King Wukong the King of Demons would be so accommodating! Wang Hao mused privately, happily pocketing the monkey hair.
Before, he hadn't thought much of King Wukong the King of Demons because this particular Demon King was nothing more than a pure demon, quite different from the orthodox Great Sage, Equal to Heaven.
However, one tends to feel obligated after accepting a gift. Having received his present, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a bit more approval for him.
While Wang Hao was checking the red packet, King Wukong the King of Demons and other group members downloaded and watched the video.
Who would have thought that even though I escaped the seal in the original timeline, I was still eventually subdued by Old Tathagata! A fierce light flashed in the eyes of King Wukong the King of Demons. This time, I will not be defeated again. Old Tathagata, just you wait.
The figure of King Wukong the King of Demons shifted, heading toward Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.
「Chang'an」
Chang'an was bustling, filled with crowds and brimming with life.
In this world, demons ran rampant. For the Human Race to survive, relying on the Heavenly Court and the Buddhas of Mount Ling was insufficient; after all, it's better to rely on oneself than on others.
Thus, Exorcists were born among humans.
Being the most flourishing city of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an naturally had the highest number of Exorcists.
With the arrival of King Wukong the King of Demons, the Exorcists guarding the Imperial Palace immediately sensed his presence.
"Demon Qi!"
"A demon has actually infiltrated the Imperial Palace! How audacious!"
"Activate the formations!"
One formation after another lit up, and Exorcists wielding various Magic Artifacts converged from all directions towards King Wukong the King of Demons.
"This Little Demon pays respect to all fellow Daoists." King Wukong the King of Demons revealed a smile he considered amiable. However, before he could finish speaking, a barrage of Magic Artifacts and Divine Skills began raining down on him.
Yet, these Divine Skills shattered, and the Magic Artifacts were deflected one by one. King Wukong the King of Demons remained unharmed. Still wearing a smile, he said, "This Little Demon has not come to cause trouble but to propagate teachings, to bring an opportunity to everyone..."
"This demon is formidable! Everyone, go all out!"
Amidst the furious shouts, Mana surged through every Exorcist. They cast their most powerful Divine Skills and pushed their Magic Artifacts to their limits, all of which hammered fiercely onto King Wukong the King of Demons.
BOOM.
The next moment, all Magic Artifacts were repelled, and all Divine Skill attacks vanished like a clay ox entering the sea.
The face of King Wukong the King of Demons grew slightly stiff, but he still maintained his friendly smile, saying, "Do you know of the God of Hongmeng? Do you wish to become Immortals and Gods? If you worship the great God of Hongmeng..."
Once again, his words were interrupted by the infuriated shouting of the surrounding Exorcists.
"This demon is extraordinarily powerful! Quickly summon the Tang Dynasty's National Treasure, the Demon Suppression Sword!"
Immediately, one of the Exorcists turned back and soon brought forth a golden, gleaming Precious Sword.
"Kill!"
Seeing the Demon Suppression Sword, the spirits of the Exorcists were lifted. They worked together to maneuver the Demon Suppression Sword towards King Wukong the King of Demons.
CLANG.
The Demon Suppression Sword struck King Wukong the King of Demons but, like the other Magic Artifacts, it was simply repelled.
King Wukong the King of Demons forcibly suppressed his urge to explode in anger. He managed to squeeze out a friendly smile and said, "I understand that you do not believe me, but if you just follow me and chant this once..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.
An old Exorcist shouted to the younger Exorcists behind him, "This demon is too formidable! Go ask for external help! We old folks will hold him back!"
King Wukong the King of Demons could no longer maintain the stiff smile on his face. He struggled to suppress the urge to take action as he said, "I'm not here to trouble you..."
"No! If we go, we go together! We shall never desert!"
King Wukong the King of Demons said, "Rest assured, I'm not here to kill you..."
"Who's calling you deserters? I'm asking you to seek external help! This is a matter of grave responsibility; it's up to you young folks to do it!"
King Wukong the King of Demons said, "Quiet down! First, hear me out..."
"Don't think you can fool us because we're young! What external help? Aren't you just telling us to run away? Why don't you old folks go ask for help?"
"AAAAH! Have you all said enough?" King Wukong the King of Demons could no longer endure and finally exploded.
Terrifying Demon Qi swept out from him as the center.
Where it passed, people were knocked off their feet, and palaces were sent flying.
In the center of the intensely fierce and wild Demon Qi stood a ferocious, incomparably huge black gorilla upon the land, bellowing, "All of you shut up! Listen to me!"
Each of the Exorcists widened their eyes in horror as they looked at the giant black-furred gorilla before them.
Could this really be the legendary King Wukong the King of Demons? Such terrifying Demon Qi!
"Today, I am here to spread the Path of my God!" King Wukong the King of Demons looked at the gathering of Exorcists and ordered, "Now, recite the "Meditation Method" passed down by my God with me."
What the hell? Spread the teachings of his God? Sun Wukong joined the Heavenly Court? All the Exorcists were dumbfounded.
BOOM!
King Wukong the King of Demons smashed a grand hall with one palm and glared at the group of Exorcists with a dangerous look. "You're unwilling?"
All the Exorcists trembled, nodding their heads rapidly like chickens pecking grain, and said in fright, "We're willing, willing!"
They were all overwhelmed by King Wukong the King of Demons' imposing aura and instinctively agreed out of fear.
"Good. Now follow me and recite. Remember, sincerity brings spiritual efficacy, and you must recite it every day from now on!" King Wukong the King of Demons admonished.
"Mhm, mhm!" The Exorcists nodded vigorously, though in their hearts, they were skeptical. Once we leave this place, who would still recite this "Meditation Method"?
However, under the intimidating might of King Wukong the King of Demons, they all began reciting it.
After reciting it, although they were insincere and received little divine grace, they all received some. Their previously depleted Mana had recovered somewhat.
The people looked at each other in dismay.
Is that the God of Hongmeng? So terrifying! My Mana has recovered quite a bit! So has mine! What's going on? Could it be related to the recitation of the "Meditation Method"?
Their gazes involuntarily turned towards King Wukong the King of Demons.
"Pray, and you receive divine grace. It's not just about Mana recovery; even increasing your Cultivation Level is possible! It's a pity you're not sincere, so the divine grace you received is limited!" King Wukong the King of Demons explained.
It really is because of the prayer! Prayer can increase one's Cultivation Level? The God of Hongmeng is so generous!
The Exorcists' eyes widened in disbelief. But sensing the Mana restored within their bodies, they had no choice but to believe it.
Many quickly began to pray again. This time as well, they received divine grace. Although it wasn't much, this feeling of getting something for nothing was just too good, and they couldn't stop themselves.
"Alright, now you know the might of my God, right? When you leave, spread this "Meditation Method". The more people who believe in my God, the better. If you do well, there will be other generous rewards when it's time for the ritual offerings to my God!" King Wukong the King of Demons struck while the iron was hot. He knew that despite his boundless Mana, preaching alone would not be quick.
These Exorcists were capable and could be used as his subordinates to preach for him.
However, he had not come to Chang'an merely to subdue these Exorcists. He was here to see the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
According to the experiences of the chat group members, the fastest way to spread teachings was from the top down. Once the Emperor was won over, essentially the whole country would be secured.
The Exorcists, now understanding the terror of the God of Hongmeng and the prospect of benefits, all promised to work hard to spread the teachings.
Then, with the help of these Exorcists, King Wukong the King of Demons quickly met Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
After reciting the "Meditation Method," Emperor Li Shimin's face was filled with excitement as he exclaimed, "The God of Hongmeng is truly magnificent, so generous!"
He could clearly feel his physical strength had increased by severalfold; his entire demeanor was vibrant, brimming with vigor and vitality. He felt like he could handle ten women in one night.
As an Emperor with three thousand beauties in his harem, his body had long been depleted. Nothing excited him more than this.
With the "Meditation Method," I will no longer have to worry about my body not holding up! I can do as I please! Emperor Li Shimin's blood boiled with excitement, eagerly awaiting nightfall.
He was determined to go on a rampage and revitalize his masculine prowess.
Imagining Changsun Wuji and the others, utterly horrified, crying and begging for mercy, Emperor Li Shimin's eyes filled with endless anticipation.
