Chapter 136 - 133: Enlightenment Dao in Five Elements Mountain to Resolve Difficulties
Underneath Five Elements Mountain, already a century had passed.
For Buddha Ancestor to demonstrate compassion, he assigned the Five Directions Kaide to guard beneath Five Elements Mountain. When Wukong felt hungry, they would feed him iron pellets; when thirsty, they would give him copper juice to drink. Pressed under Five Elements Mountain, Wukong had almost completely lost his mana and found it difficult even to fast. He had to drink copper juice every half year and eat a few iron pellets. Tathagata was truly ruthless, making him unable to fast, barely surviving half a year Max. Without food, he might have become the first Da Luo Golden Immortal to starve to death.
Helpless, Wukong had to eat those iron pellets and drink copper juice every half-year. Fortunately, he had refined Vajra Invulnerable flesh in Old Lord’s Eight Trigrams Furnace, which allowed him to munch noisily on the iron pellets before swallowing them, and the copper juice was digestible as well.
"Monkey head, do you want to eat pellets today?" quipped Jinguang-jiedi with a smirk.
"Baldy, your Grandfather Sun isn’t hungry yet! Don’t get too smug. Just wait, when your grandpa gets out, I’ll beat you to dust and ashes," Wukong retorted.
"You Macaca, still talking big while being suppressed under the mountain. Do you believe that we could stop giving you iron pellets and let you become the first Da Luo Golden Immortal to die of starvation?" taunted Yintou-jiedi, seeming quite pleased with himself.
Wukong grimaced and said with a grin, "If you’ve got the guts, starve me to death and see how Tathagata punishes you all."
The Five Directions Kaide were startled—oh, this one’s a sharp one, aware that Buddha Ancestor wouldn’t kill him?
Mahasatya cursed, "You Macaca, still so arrogant! Take this kick!"
His kick landed on Wukong’s head, but instead, he only ended up hurting his own foot. Wukong simply shook his head, a bit dizzy from the blow.
Wukong jeered, "Grandpa Sun has copper skin and iron bones. Your fleshly leg can’t even shake me!"
