“He's going home?!” The elves stared at the TV Series.

“It's been 20 years; I wonder if those monkeys still remember the Monkey King…?” The cultivators also watched attentively.

“I wonder what has Flower-Fruit Mountain become like now!” The warriors wished that they could do a Cloud Somersault and go to the mountain before the Monkey King.

As the story continued, they watched it with great expectations.

“This TV Series… is indeed good!” Su Tianji, who had criticized this TV Series earlier, was now commenting, “Hahaha! I knew the shop owner would never sell bad stuff to us!”

She had completely forgotten her previous remarks.

“Hey… this… the TV Series in this shop… are always good!” Song Qingfeng, who had also had a bad opinion about this TV Series, said, “Why can't it be a monkey?! Can't a monkey enter the heavens and the earth and walk the great path to immortality?!”

“This TV Series is unrivaled!”

In the Canglan City Shop, Sala also said, “This Journey to the West is so good! I didn't expect it would be so good!!

“I thought…” Sala looked out of the shop and said, “I thought it was a monkey just like those we see in the mountains… But this is the Monkey King!”

They aren't from the same species!

It wasn't our fault that we didn't want to watch it before!

If we were told from the beginning that we'd watch this kind of a monkey, we'd have watched it sooner!

She tried to explain herself.

Then, she continued watching eagerly.

At this moment…

Everyone heard music rise.

“You… shoulder the carrying pole, and I lead the horse…”

[TL Note: This is the ending theme song of TV Series Journey to the West. The song is named 'Where is the road?']

“Um…? What's this?” They froze.

Then…

“Ah-!?”

“It ended?!”

“How come it ends here?!”

“Where's the next episode-?!”

They clicked open Super Theatre again and saw that they could only pay and activate the first and the second episode while the following 40-plus episodes were all grey, which meant that they couldn't be activated!

As if bedlam broke out, many customers gathered at the counter in the various shops, including the Jiuhua City Shop, Yuanyang City Shop, and Canglan City Shop.

Mr. Fang was now staying in Yuanyang City, and he was surrounded by crowds!

“Sir!” Zong Wu, the Castellan of Yuanyang City, asked, “We can activate four episodes of other TV series per day. But with this TV Series, we can only activate two episodes each day?!

“Where are the other two episodes?!”

“Yeah!” The others joined in the protest. “Journey to the West is expensive and short with each episode! Besides, we can only have two episodes each day?!”

“The episodes are not short!” Mr. Fang looked at them in puzzlement. After walking to a computer, he pointed at the screen and said, “Look! One hour for one episode.”

“Um…” Zong Wu and the others followed Mr. Fang to the computer and looked.

“They are just short!”

“They are just short!”

They complained immediately.

“Can you be reasonable about this?” Mr. Fang looked exasperated.

“We could activate four episodes of other TV Series a day, but this only has two episodes!?” They finally found the correct issue to complain about. “Are you afraid that we can't afford more?!”

Mr. Fang looked contemptuous. “How can the previous TV Series be compared with this one?!”

“Among other things, have you guys understood the Dao lecture and the spells taught in the first and second episodes?!

“You must know that haste makes waste!” Mr. Fang talked eloquently as if he was arguing with a group of scholars. “That's why my shop custom-made the right number of episodes for you each day. You've watched two episodes today and can watch the next two tomorrow! This way, you can obtain something from the TV Series and really enjoy it.”

“Oh… so this is the reason…” They nodded, thinking that it made sense.

Then, they thought for a moment…

“… Sir! I still want to watch more episodes today!”

Mr. Fang sat before his computer and put on the virtual reality headset, concentrating on the game and ignoring them.

At this moment, on Connate Cliff where immortal breezes moved ethereally, an unworldly-looking immortal sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. While wearing a silver-grey Daoist robe, a silk belt, and a silver headpiece, his eyes were as bright as stars.

When he inhaled, clouds gathered around him. When he exhaled, clouds evaporated. The technique that he was cultivating looked miraculous.

At this moment, a figure walked up from behind, and he opened his eyes slowly.

As a member of the Gui Family which had existed since prehistoric times, Gui Ye was a well-esteemed existence even in the Innumerable Immortal Sea, let alone when comparing him to insignificant mortals.

His eyes glinted with chilly lights. “To die in the heavenly tribulation and G.o.dly punishment or… obediently return to their factions and continue their lives as faction masters and elders?!”

“My Lord, do you think some people are just ignorant and don't understand the situation?”

“Ignorant?” He replied with a snicker, “Even 10,000 years ago, few of the mortals and filthy savages could show any powerful abilities… they are worse now…”

His gaze seemed to travel through the endless void and reach an unknown spot beyond the sky.

Even he s.h.i.+vered involuntarily in fear.

“We members of the Gui Family are immortals who have withstood challenges of blood and fire. “He looked down contemptuously at the mortal world below the clouds. “These mortals know nothing but hard cultivation in seclusion and are not qualified to ascend. How can they compare with us?!”

“They will know that the more ancient an immortal clan is, the more severe consequences they will face for offending and challenging them. If they try it, they will bring destruction to themselves!”

“It's almost time. I think they must have made the right decision, right?”

“What do you think will happen in today's episodes of Journey to the West?” On the early morning of the next day, the elves entered the shop while talking among themselves.

From the looks of it, they had been talking about it all the way here.

In front of the Jiuhua City Shop, Half City Shop, Yuanyang City Shop, and even… the new shop in the East Continent, many people stood outside, waiting for the shops to open.

It seemed like the shops hadn't seen such eager crowds in a long time.

“I think… after some careful meditation last night, I understand a tiny bit of the pithy formula that the patriarch taught Wukong!” one cultivator said in a low voice.

“Get out! Even the Ascendance Realm masters are clueless. You can keep dreaming!”

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue saw the profile photo of a little deer popping up on her communication jade. [Princess, I think I've got some clues about transformation! Yohahaha!]

After seeing the transfiguration spell, watching the Legend of the White Snake, and then hearing Patriarch Subodhi's lecture on Dao, it obviously had acc.u.mulated lots of understanding in this area.

Although it was still too young to reach the transformation stage for an ancient spiritual beast…

It felt some signs.

“Really?!” Xiaoyue replied with pleasant surprise.

“Yes! Yes! I think I will be able to transform before long! Princess, you must come and watch when it's time!”

“Okay!” She replied and entered the shop.

Immediately, she took a computer and began watching the TV Series.

Different from the previous episode, in this episode, the Monkey King returned to his home with great triumph. He destroyed the Monstrous King of Havoc who had been bullying his little monkeys, and then he taught his monkeys to make spears with bamboo sticks and carve out sabers with wood pieces. He taught them martial arts and made them practice each day.

This way, these monkeys could protect themselves.

However, the bamboo and wooden weapons were not real weapons. So, this episode told the story of borrowing treasures from the Dragon Palace.

Wukong leaped down the sheet iron bridge of Flower-Fruit Mountain and entered the pa.s.sage leading to the Dragon Palace through the creek under the bridge.

On the bottom of the ocean were clumps of corals and schools of colorful fish. There was the Water-Crystal Palace and patrolling Yashas.

[TL Note: In legend, Yasha is a cla.s.s of generally benevolent but sometimes mischievous, capricious, s.e.xually rapacious, or even murderous nature spirits who are the custodians of treasures.]

“Wow… The dragons' residence is so beautiful…” Xiaoyue was feeling dizzy while she looked around the palace, wis.h.i.+ng that she could move to this place.

“What weapon do you think the Monkey King will use?”

Soon, the members of the touring group entered another heated discussion while they watched.
