He looked at Sun Wukong's condition and said, "This demon monkey must be refined for forty-nine days, by then it will surely be refined into a Golden Core."

He was just trying to scare Sun Wukong.

At this time, Sun Wukong was not afraid of Lao Jun at all, and despite being tied up, was still speaking harshly.

"You old man, don't let me out, or I'll smash your Doushuai Temple and topple your Pill Furnace!"

Lao Jun ignored Sun Wukong's harsh words and signaled for the Powerful Warrior to throw Sun Wukong into the furnace. Lao Jun had seen enough excitement and needed to return to his alchemy. As for Sun Wukong, Jin Jiao and Silver Horn could vent their anger on him.

Once Lao Jun left, Jin Jiao and Silver Horn each picked up a small fan and fanned the furnace wildly, daring Sun Wukong to be disrespectful to Lao Jun and kick their small tub. They decided to make Sun Wukong uncomfortable and burn off all his monkey fur!

Sun Wukong was caught and thrown into the Furnace of Eight Trigrams. The Heavenly Court, having enjoyed the spectacle, each returned to their own places, while the Bodhisattva Guanyin, along with Manjusri, Puxian, Ling Ji, and five hundred Arhats, returned to Lingshan to report what happened with the monkey to Old Li.

The avatar of Nezha, who was sent this time, returned to the Ziwei Star Palace as he still had a role to play, namely the final act of subduing the monkey.

In the Lower Realm, the Six Demon Kings, hearing that Sun Wukong had been captured, one by one showed expressions of fear, either genuinely or pretended. First to give in was Xiu Snake Jiao Demon King, who decided to become a snake again.

"Oh, I just remembered my wife is about to lay eggs, brothers, I'll be off first!"

With that, he got up and slipped away.

With one setting an example, the hesitant Monkey King and Yu Rong King also made up their minds. While others were acting, these two were genuinely scared, having been on edge for the past few days.

"Oh, well, my wife is also about to lay eggs, I mean, give birth to a monkey!"

"Yes, yes, my wife is also giving birth to a monkey!"

Nezha was amused by the two jokers invited by the monkey and asked instinctively, "What, are your wives monkeys?"

"Oh yes, yes, oh no!"

"Just a coincidence on the same day."

"Yes, yes, a coincidence, a coincidence!"

The two monkeys packed up and left immediately.

Now, in the cave, only three of the Seven Demon Kings remained: the Great Strength Bull Demon King, Peng Daoist of the Peng Demon King, and Suan Ni of the Lion Suwan King.

Nezha was waiting for Peng Daoist, while Peng Daoist and Suan Ni stayed for the Golden Phoenix Egg.

Sun Wukong has ascended to heaven three times; whether he can come back this time is really hard to say, and Nezha felt Peng Daoist would make a move.

The three of them looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the first to suggest leaving was Peng Daoist. After the last incident, Kunpeng had become very cautious. He wasn't in a hurry to make a move and, after leaving behind means to investigate the Phoenix Egg, decided to go to the Heavenly Court to gather more information before deciding.

Nezha did not stop him, only lamenting in his heart that Kunpeng was indeed overly cautious.

After Peng Daoist left, only Nezha and Suan Ni were left in the cave. At this point, he didn't need to appear anymore; the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Clan had already become history.

"Old Fourth, it's just the two of us now, let's go, let's go, Old Seven was captured to the heavens, and we don't know if it's fortune or disaster."

Suan Ni's cultivation was actually higher in Mystic Sect than Nezha's, but he never detected a trace of it, only thinking his sworn big brother really was just a big white bull.

He was also internally struggling, whether to destroy the Phoenix Egg; in the end, he saw his big brother already walking up and placing a hand on his shoulder.

Suan Ni was lifted unknowingly by this big brother of his.

Suan Ni: ???

No way, big brother, do you have such great strength?

I'm a dragon, don't I deserve some dignity?

At first, he thought he was careless. After struggling slightly but unable to break free, he knew something was wrong.

He turned his head to look at the Bull Demon King's big cow head, only to feel a mysterious attraction from the other's bull eyes, pulling his consciousness into a boundlessly expanding state, then saw a radiant woman with a magnificent aura, dressed in plain clothes yet adorned with brilliant feathers.

The beautifully almond-shaped eyes of the woman glanced at him coldly.

"Go."

Suan Ni felt an icy chill all over his body, his awareness quickly returning to his own body, drenched in sweat, and when he came to, he was still facing his big brother's big cow head.

"Dear brother, don't wander around aimlessly, there are too many bad people out there these days."

Suan Ni, though not dull, quickly understood it was a setup orchestrated by someone he couldn't afford to provoke, and he was warned when he got involved.

"Big brother is right, big brother is right, my old father is at home aging and needs care. I've been wandering for years and must return to fulfill my filial duties!"

"Oh, dear brother, as long as your old man is still around, it's never too late!"

The two of them left Huaguo Mountain, arm in arm as if they truly were good brothers, and this scene was also seen by Peng Daoist. However, he didn't notice anything strange, assuming that the Shituo King, born of the Sea Clan, was just a Dragon Clan spy in the Demon Clan.

With Sun Wukong captured, this guy must be returning to infiltrate further, and as for the Bull Demon King, Peng Daoist truly found nothing odd, only thinking he was somewhat cultured and insolent.

What family names their ox and gives it the title of Super Heaven Saint?

Meanwhile, Kunpeng had also gathered some information on Sun Wukong through Heavenly Soldiers of demon clan origin, hearing that Sun Wukong was thrown into Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad's Eight Trigrams Furnace for stealing his Immortal Pill, to be refined for forty-nine days.

The ever-cautious Kunpeng chose to wait again; Sun Wukong was not lacking in abilities but wasn't considered a master in Kunpeng's eyes. The notion that he could sneak into Doushuai Temple to steal an elixir was something Kunpeng couldn't believe. If the monkey had such a skill, then even Kunpeng could steal Hongmeng Purple Qi from Zixiao Palace!

The key to shrewd fishing was the bait and patience. Now that Nezha had thrown out a bait Kunpeng couldn't refuse, all that was left was to wait patiently.

On the other side, Brother Monkey was indeed suffering terribly. The pseudo-Eight Trigram Furnace was still an Eight Trigram Furnace, and Nezha's imitation skills were evident. Inside, the true Six Ding Divine Fire was burning, and the monkey couldn't withstand it with just his physical body, only able to hide in the Xun Position to endure for forty-nine days.

The benefit was that being refined allowed him to fully absorb the previously consumed large amount of undigested Immortal Pills, greatly boosting his mana and physique, and he finally completed the divine skill "Golden Eyes" which he could never cultivate successfully.

The downside was that the divine skill was forcibly catalyzed and became mutated, incomplete in cultivation, leaving an eye affliction due to the smoke in the Xun Position, fearing dense smoke but capable of emitting red beams from his eyes similar to the effect of Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye when activated with mana.

After forty-nine days, Lord Lao Zi, fearing that Jin Jiao and Silver Horn might be harmed by the monkey, personally came to open the furnace, and just as expected, the monkey, blackened from smoke, leaped out from the furnace.

"Old man, I'm out again! Hahahahaha!"

Lao Jun feigned panic, shielding Jin Jiao and Silver Horn behind him, while Sun Wukong stood on the furnace, baring his teeth, his eyes flashing red beams, blasting everything around to smithereens. Then, he kicked over the 'Eight Trigram Furnace' and strutted away with his Jingu Bang.

Between life and death lies great terror, and having tasted the brink of death for the first time, the monkey was overwhelmed with emotion, recalling the shadow of Emperor Jin Can he once saw.

This Heaven Palace can be disrupted by Jin Can, and my old Sun can do the same.

Thus began the great havoc in the heavenly court!

Sun Wukong stormed through the spatial tunnels, brandishing his Jingu Bang, causing chaos as he went, smashing whatever he saw, scaring Immortals with his Jingu Bang or simply kicking them; his goal was very clear — the Palace of the Polestar.

The Immortals of the Heavenly Court, frightened and scattered by Sun Wukong, quickly passed the news to the Jade Emperor in the Palace of the Polestar, who at that moment was listening to music.

Soon there came a series of cries of alarm!

Soon there came another cry of alarm!

The Jade Emperor, also disturbed by this, knew there was no chance of enjoying the music any longer and waved away the palace maids, gathering all the Immortals to the hall.

"Wen Zhong, I order you to gather the gods and swiftly arrest the demon monkey!"

Wen Zhong wore a bitter expression.

"I obey!"

With that, he led a large group of Immortals to intercept Sun Wukong, but after just one encounter, he felt Sun Wukong had grown even stronger.
