Sun Wukong walked out of the lake.

Immortal Master Erlang was taken aback; Sun Wukong did not have a scratch on him.

"What are you made of?"

He couldn't help but ask.

"Stone."

Sun Wukong shook off the droplets of water on his body and said, "You're so grown up, yet you still play with a slingshot. Isn't that childish?"

Immortal Master Erlang was annoyed. Was playing with a slingshot childish?

Hunters carry slingshots when they go hunting.

"I don't believe you were unharmed."

Immortal Master Erlang pulled back his slingshot again.

Sun Wukong watched him; this guy still wanted to play!

This is no fun, let's switch to something interesting.

Sun Wukong leapt lightly and suddenly disappeared.

Immortal Master Erlang paused and looked around for a long time but couldn't figure out what Sun Wukong had disguised himself as.

The immortals in the heavens also couldn't find Sun Wukong.

"Pagoda-Bearing King!"

The Jade Emperor commanded, "Quickly find where Sun Wukong has gone."

Pagoda-Bearing King picked up the Demon Mirror and swept it over the ground, saying, "That demon monkey has used the Invisibility Technique and gone to Guan River Mouth."

All the immortals were in an uproar; not only could Sun Wukong shapeshift, but he could also become invisible.

"Bodhisattva, inform Immortal Master Erlang."

The Jade Emperor had The Bodhisattva Guanyin notify Immortal Master Erlang.

Immortal Master Erlang, upon hearing that Sun Wukong had gone to Guan River Mouth, was greatly alarmed and rushed over quickly.

At this time, Sun Wukong had already arrived at Guan River Mouth.

Just like in the Heavenly Book, he transformed into Immortal Master Erlang, entered the temple, and none of the ghost judges knew he was an impostor, all kowtowing and receiving him.

Sun Wukong sat in the middle, checking the temple offerings, saw the livestock offered by humans, the blessings they asked for, and some petitions for children, wishes for healing illness.

"Is an immortal's incense given through alms?"

Sun Wukong thought this to himself.

No wonder his Merit Power was so great; the methods of other immortals were too weak in comparison, not enough for him to bother with.

Immortal Master Erlang burst into the temple gates furiously.

Sun Wukong put down the petition, looked up at him, "Once I've left Huaguo Mountain, it's no longer you chasing after me."

He used Dharma Manifestation, and his body suddenly grew taller, breaking through the temple, reaching the skies, his legs like the Sky-Supporting Pillar atop Kunlun Mountain, scaring the ghost judges at Guan River Mouth witless, trembling in terror.

The immortals at the South Heavenly Gate also drew a cold breath.

Tota Li Heavenly King's face turned ashen: "How many more abilities does that demon monkey have?"

"Not to worry!"

The Jade Emperor's face turned cold and said, "Immortal Master Erlang knows this trick too."

Immortal Master Erlang also transformed, growing to a height of thousands of zhang, holding the Three-pointed Two-bladed Divine Blade, with a fierce green face and fangs, fiery red hair, and savagely chopped towards Sun Wukong's head.

Sun Wukong blocked a few strikes and noticed something was wrong; without the Jingu Bang, grappling directly with Immortal Master Erlang was foolish.

His Palm Leaf Fan couldn't be used as a stick either; it would be a waste if it got split by Erlang God.

"We can't play like this."

Thinking this, Sun Wukong suddenly stomped the ground, and a gigantic wave rose at Guan River Mouth, scaring thousands of Erlang's infantry into panic, scattering in all directions.

Immortal Master Erlang saw his subordinates dispersing in fear, and his heart panicked. He instantly retracted the Dharma Manifestation and raised a violent wind to take his subordinates away.

"You have your day too."

Sun Wukong thought secretly, the Heavenly Book had said these Erlang's infantry had driven the demons of Huaguo Mountain to distraction, and now he had turned the tables on them.

But he wasn't really looking to make an enemy of Immortal Master Erlang, so he went a bit easy on them.

Otherwise, with a single swipe of Sun Wukong's Palm Leaf Fan, the Guan River Mouth would have breached its banks, and those Erlang's infantry would have had no chance to flee!

Immortal Master Erlang did not linger for battle, he just wanted to leave with his subordinates now.

Sun Wukong watched his retreating figure, thinking that this would not do, the immortals in the heavens were still watching, he must take something to deter them, otherwise, they would surely come a second time.

Just then, Immortal Master Erlang's direction of escape was quite suitable.

Sun Wukong retracted the Dharma Manifestation, plucked two strands of hair, one transformed into a bow, the other into an arrow, and he drew a full bow in the direction of Immortal Master Erlang.

"Not good!"

Bodhisattva Guanyin's beautiful eyes widened as she exclaimed in alarm: "He's going to use the Merit Power!"

The Jade Emperor looked towards Sun Wukong and indeed saw an extraordinary phenomenon occurring with the bow and arrow in his hands.

Threads of golden light twined around the arrow, the ground at the Guan River Mouth seemed to tear apart, and the sense of danger was palpable even from tens of thousands of miles away.

An ominous premonition surged in the Jade Emperor's heart.

In the next moment, a dazzling beam of light shot forth from Sun Wukong's hand.

The beam was brighter than the sun, tracing a fiery red trajectory across the sky, and anyone who looked up would see the clouds explode like they had been scorched.

Immortal Master Erlang sensed the surge of energy from behind and nearly stopped breathing.

However, the beam of light flew past him, leaving a terrifying scorched trail in the sky as it went away.

"Missed?"

Immortal Master Erlang took a breath of relief and looked back.

Sun Wukong stood at the Guan River Mouth, seemingly a bit annoyed.

This reaction indicated a miss, and Immortal Master Erlang wanted to mock him but suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait a second..."

He turned to look in the direction where the beam had gone and his eyes suddenly widened.

Wasn't that the direction of the South Heavenly Gate?

With a "boom," the loud explosion resonated as the beam broke through multiple layers of defense and hit the pillar of the South Heavenly Gate.

Flames ignited instantly, and the Jade Emperor quickly ordered the Immortals to extinguish the fire before looking at the pillar of South Heavenly Gate.

Deeply embedded in the pillar was an arrow.

Just as the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were about to pull the arrow out, it disintegrated into dust and disappeared.

"Bodhisattva."

The Jade Emperor looked towards Bodhisattva Guanyin.

"Amitabha."

Guanyin clasped her hands together, sighed, and said: "That Sun Wukong is immensely skilled in Divine Skills, I'm afraid this was done intentionally."

Gold Star Taibai hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, it must've been an accident."

The Jade Emperor glared at him, accident or not, do I look blind to you? This was clearly intentional.

Sun Wukong knew he was being tested and deliberately came to provoke trouble!

"Preposterous!"

Frustration and awe filled the Jade Emperor's heart at the thought of Sun Wukong's immense Divine Skills.

A single strand of hair had the power to pierce through the South Heavenly Gate, it would be terrifying to truly be his enemy.

"Your Majesty." Bodhisattva Guanyin continued, "You have already tested Sun Wukong, now you should invite him to ascend to Heaven."

The Jade Emperor looked displeased.

However, he had previously given his word, and could not go back on it.

"Gold Star Taibai."

The Jade Emperor said to Gold Star Taibai: "Later, summon Sun Wukong to ascend to Heaven, I want to have a chat with him."

Gold Star Taibai felt pleased inside.

But the Jade Emperor hadn't mentioned giving Sun Wukong a position, so there were still uncertainties.

And when Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain, what he found was Immortal Zhen Yuan with a stern face.

"Junior brother..."

Immortal Zhen Yuan had much to say, but in the end, couldn't utter a word.

The Heavenly Palace testing Sun Wukong like this, and Sun Wukong shooting an arrow at the South Heavenly Gate, it didn't seem too excessive.

After all, it was just a 'miss'.

Immortal Zhen Yuan sighed deeply, then asked, "That arrow you shot just now, you used the Merit Power, isn't that a waste?"

"No trouble."

Sun Wukong smiled: "It's just sitting there, I find it too much."

Immortal Zhen Yuan was stupefied.
