74 -74: Human Race’s Treasure – Sea Pacifying God Needle Iron
With a swish, Long Ye pulled Jiang Chen along, quickly pursuing the East Sea Dragon King.
The Emperor had ordered them not to let the monkey so easily take the Sea Pacifying God Needle.
Although they did not understand the profundity behind this action, being the Emperor’s command, they were obliged to comply.
At this moment, the East Sea Dragon King and others had already reached the middle of the sea treasury, where the Sea Pacifying God Needle was placed.
The Sea Pacifying God Needle resembled an iron rod, with two golden hoops at its ends and a black metal section in the middle.
A tightly attached hoop had a line of engraved words that read “Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick,” weighing 13,500 kilograms.
As the monkey’s voice echoed, the Sea Pacifying God Needle, which was about the thickness of a barrel and longer than four meters, shrank continuously.
It became thinner and shorter, and Sun Wukong took it in his hand and headed out.
When Long Ye and Jiang Chen arrived, Sun Wukong had already left the sea treasury.
The Sea Pacifying God Needle had transformed into a stick of two meters in length and bowl-sized in diameter, which he wielded with ease.
He displayed his divine abilities and began to wreak havoc within the Crystal Palace.
The old Dragon King was terrified, his dragon son’s courage completely evaporated; the turtles, snapping turtles, and fish all retreated, their heads hidden.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen called out without thinking: “Monkey, quickly put down the treasure of our Human Race.”
With that said, Jiang Chen jumped forward and arrived in front of Sun Wukong.
He reached out his hand to grip one end of the golden hoop stick and pulled it forcefully.
Jiang Chen was extraordinarily strong, on par with the Ancient Witch Clan.
As he pulled, Sun Wukong only felt a strange force coming at him.
Caught off guard, the golden hoop stick slipped out of his hand and was seized by Jiang Chen.
It was Sun Wukong’s oversight.
He had just found the weapon that suited him best and was caught off guard in his moment of triumph.
This gave Jiang Chen the opportunity to seize the weapon from him.
Otherwise, with Sun Wukong’s current power of a Mysterious Immortal, he would not have had his weapon snatched away by Jiang Chen so easily.
That’s right, a Mysterious Immortal!
At present, Sun Wukong’s cultivation was at the perfect stage of Mysterious Immortal.
At this time, he had not yet stolen Pan peaches from the peach garden, had not stolen the heavenly Nine Heavens Sweet Dew, had not stolen Taishang Laojun’s Golden Pill, and had certainly not been thrown into the Eight Diagrams Furnace for refining.
Sun Wukong truly peaked twice.
One after his uproar at the Pan Peach Banquet, and the other when he escaped from the Eight Diagrams Furnace and wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
Before these incidents, Sun Wukong wasn’t particularly strong.
After all, only three years had passed since Sun Wukong began his cultivation.
He left Huaguo Mountain twenty years ago, spending ten years on the journey, seven years listening to the Tao, and only the last three years on actual cultivation.
To cultivate a Mysterious Immortal from the Innate in three years was considered legendary.
…
…
After taking the Golden Hoop Stick, Jiang Chen retreated to Long Ye’s side.
“You…”
When the golden hoop stick was taken, not only was Sun Wukong shocked, the East Sea Dragon King was equally astonished.
Didn’t he strictly urge Long Ye not to interfere?
Why then did Jiang Chen?
Moreover, wasn’t the Sea Pacifying God Needle his Dragon Palace’s treasure?
When did it become the treasure of the Human Race?
This point made even Long Ye surprised.
He had lived for so long, but had never heard that the Human Race possessed a treasure named the Sea Pacifying God Needle.
However, while he hadn’t heard of it, Long Ye did not question Jiang Chen at this time.
Although the Emperor ordered them to impede the monkey from taking the treasure, the East Sea Dragon King insisted on giving it away without their intervention due to their respective status.
After all, the treasure was theirs; they could deal with it as they liked, and outsiders had no say over it.
However, if the treasure belonged to the Human Race, things would be simpler.
They could then handle it as they pleased.
Pulling back Sun Wukong, who was about to act, the East Sea Dragon King said in a deep voice: “Young friend, what is the meaning of this?
When did my Dragon palace’s treasure become your Human Race’s treasure?”
At this point, the East Sea Dragon King ignored the two men and refocused on Jiang Chen’s words.
At this moment,
The East Sea Dragon King was truly furious.
Today, if Jiang Chen cannot give him a reasonable explanation, even if the Sun Star Lord comes, he would ensure Jiang Chen pays a huge price so that he understands some words cannot be said recklessly.
This precedent could not be set because it would bring great trouble to the Dragon Palace in the future.
Likewise, if anyone randomly claimed a Dragon Palace treasure as a lost relic of his clan, would the Dragon Palace give or not give?
Seeing the East Sea Dragon King genuinely angered, Long Ye became anxious to pacify the situation.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Chen calmly say:
“Dragon King, calm your anger.
I claim the Sea Pacifying God Needle as a personal treasure with proofs.
Do you remember where the Sea Pacifying God Needle came from?”
The East Sea Dragon King fell silent at his words.
It took Jiang Chen’s reminder for him to remember that the Sea Pacifying God Needle was quite, perhaps, and most likely a Human Race treasure.
That was the gauge used by King Yu during his water control project to measure the depth of rivers and seas.
It was a treasure left behind by King Yu.
Left behind by King Yu!
And King Yu was the Human Race’s King Yu!
In other words, besides the fact that the Sea Pacifying God Needle was lying deep in the Eastern Sea, it had absolutely nothing to do with the Dragon Palace.
After understanding this, even the East Sea Dragon King himself could not hide the embarrassment creeping onto his face.
He coughed a few times and said:
“Ahem, I just thought about it and realized that I indeed remembered it wrong.
The Sea Pacifying God Needle is indeed a treasure of your Human Race.”
At this moment, Long Ye also understood the reason.
He glanced at Jiang Chen, thinking to himself that this boy was indeed cunning.
Then he laughed and said to Dragon King:
“Old Dragon King, this is not right.
You can’t consider the Sea Pacifying God Needle as your treasure just because we left it in the Eastern Sea.”
“If we go with that logic, aren’t the treasures your Dragon Clan left on Earth suppose to be considered ours?”
While teasing the Dragon King, Long Ye did not forget to send a sound transmission, explaining that due to an order from above, he had to act.
“Above?”
Those identified as being above by Long Ye can only be the top rank of the Human Race.
Even though the East Sea Dragon King did not know why the top authorities of the Human Race wanted to do this, he knew this was not something he should bother himself with.
So, the East Sea Dragon King gave Long Ye a deep look and then no longer engaged him in conversation, instead turning to look at Sun Wukong.
“Immortal, as you can see, it’s not that I’m unwilling to give you the treasure but that it is no longer the property of the Dragon Palace.
I am not authorized to give it to you.”
“If you still want the Sea Pacifying God Needle, discuss it with them.”
“If you don’t want it, you can choose either the Deep Sea Nine-Pronged Fork or the Square Sky Halberd, as promised.
At least your trip to the Dragon Palace would not be in vain.”
Having said that, the East Sea Dragon King turned and left.
At this point, he was no longer in the mood to play along with Sun Wukong’s act.
The stage had been destroyed, there was no more play left.
