This somersault cloud technique is the monkey's most prized skill and one of his most powerful trump cards!
Sun Wukong couldn't understand, and like a headless fly, he wandered aimlessly in the Buddha's palm.
However, just as Sun Wukong was running around aimlessly, Buddha Tathagata flipped his palm down, intending to send Sun Wukong back to the mortal world.
His five towering, pillar-like fingers transformed into five colossal mountains representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, intending to suppress Sun Wukong.
The authentic Tathagata Palm transformed into a palm that blotted out the sky, carrying immense power as it slammed down upon the human realm.
"roll!"
The moment he was freed from the palm, Sun Wukong regained his senses and roared angrily.
His entire body was ablaze with magical power, his body transformed into a furnace of heaven and earth, unleashing unprecedented force as he smashed towards the giant palm of Tathagata descending from the sky.
boom!
The collision was unprecedented, like the Big Bang, with terrifying energy sweeping across the heavens and earth.
Countless mountains and rivers collapsed, and countless great rivers dried up.
The Five Elements Mountain, formed by the Buddha's Palm, was directly shattered into countless pieces by Sun Wukong.
Before Sun Wukong could even get excited, he suddenly saw a large number of shattered rocks automatically surrounding his body after collapsing.
In an instant.
The Monkey King's body was suppressed by a terrifying force, which began to shrink smaller and smaller until it was completely swallowed up.
The energy of the five elements circulated endlessly, while the five-element mountain, pieced together from countless fragments of stone, grew ever tighter, enveloping Sun Wukong beneath it.
but.
Sun Wukong was not one to be easily suppressed; how could he be so easily suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain?
He struggled desperately, but this only caused the Five Elements Mountain to shake, and countless rocks tumbled down, flying through the sky and igniting with the air, forming fiery meteors that fell to the human world.
Just as the monkey saw the light of day for escape, a golden scroll floated down from the sky. On the scroll were six large, golden characters: Om Mani Padme Hum.
The post seemed to possess a spirit, going straight to the Five Elements Mountain. Moreover, as soon as it was pasted, the Five Elements Mountain, which was on the verge of collapse, became firmly rooted and closed up.
Apart from his head and two hands, Sun Wukong's entire body was suppressed.
Above the heavens, Buddha chanted incantations and summoned a local earth deity, who, together with the five guardian deities, resided on the Five Elements Mountain to guard Sun Wukong.
When he is hungry, feed him some iron pellets;
When he is thirsty, feed him some molten copper to drink.
…………
In the fourth year of the reign of the Emperor of the Great Xin Kingdom in the Southern Continent of the human realm, which is 23 AD, on the banks of the Shashui River in Kyushu!
The rumble of chariots and the neighing of horses marked the encirclement of Kunyang City by hundreds of thousands of troops, stretching for over ten miles and seemingly without end.
On the city wall of Kunyang, an elderly man with white hair, over seventy years old and dressed in a black dragon robe, looked down at the tall, imposing generals in armor and wielding weapons below, and felt an indescribable sense of pride and high spirits.
These were all his trusted generals. He refused to believe that with nearly a hundred outstanding generals, an army of 400,000, plus the Tiger and Leopard Battalion of 10,000, they couldn't take down a small city like Kunyang and kill a mere Liu Xiu!
This elderly man, in his seventies, was none other than His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Xin Kingdom, Wang Mang.
This expedition was Wang Mang's personal campaign to punish the traitor Liu Xiu.
As a time traveler, Wang Mang possessed his own confidence and arrogance. Although before his time travel, he was just a junior high school dropout who was not good at studying, did not know much about history, and was completely ignorant of physics and chemistry.
He doesn't know how to make glass, cement, or papermaking, printing, gunpowder, or any other essential skills for time travelers.
But what can we do about it?
With his superior intelligence and insights far exceeding those of people in ancient times, Wang Mang easily seized power, overthrowing the Liu family's Han Dynasty and establishing the Wang family's Xin Dynasty.
Moreover, as a time traveler, Wang Mang also possessed a special ability that allowed him to communicate with wild beasts and command them to obey his orders.
This cheat ability is called Beast Taming!
He can communicate with any wild animal, from tigers, leopards, and bears to birds and rabbits, and they will all obey his commands.
Over several decades, Wang Mang built a Tiger and Leopard Camp of 10,000 men, an army composed of ferocious beasts such as tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves, which could easily tear apart the army of 100,000 rebels.
"Hmph, to think that the tiny city of Kunyang can stop my 400,000-strong army and the Tiger and Leopard Battalion is simply wishful thinking!"
"What Liu Xiu? What a worthless scoundrel! Under the combined attack of the entire nation, he is nothing but an ant that can be crushed with a flick of the wrist!"
Looking around the command platform at the tigers, leopards, and bears lying obediently on the ground, clad in iron armor, Wang Mang was filled with confidence for his upcoming imperial expedition.
He firmly believed that as long as he appeared outside Kunyang City, and as long as the Tiger and Leopard Battalion strolled around under the noses of the rebels, the people in the city who had been coerced by the rebels would surely welcome the king's army with food and drink.
In fact, Wang Mang still can't understand why the common people at the bottom of society don't understand the good reform system he has implemented.
For example, the land was seized from the wealthy and distributed to the rich!
Didn't our great-grandfather do this quite well in his previous life? Why can't it work for me, Wang?
It was one thing for those powerful and influential families to oppose him, since they were not on the same side as him; Wang Mang could understand their thoughts and positions.
But why can't even the lowest-class people understand this?
Moreover, some people said that Wang Mang was a warmonger and not a benevolent ruler.
