Journey to the West: With a Heavenly Spirit Bamboo, I Make the Monkey Cry from the Start

Bamboo grows in the wild, its branches reaching a hundred fathoms into the clouds.

No one admires its noble bearing; it quietly holds fast to its steadfast heart.

It is ashamed to be stained like the Xiang Consort's bamboo, and blushes to be made into a zither for the imperial palace.

Who will fashion it into a flute, so it may sound like a dragon's roar?

Lu Qingchen is reborn as a bamboo plant on Flower-Fruit Mountain, carrying a point-allocation System.

At this time, Shakyamuni has only been back on his throne for sixty years. The Monkey King has yet to be born. Hidden behind the scenes, Lu Qingchen quietly schemes, content to play the underdog while strengthening himself.

He stirs the waters and profits from the struggle between dragons and Buddha, and from the battle between heavenly demons.

When the gods make their moves, he fishes in troubled waters.

After lying low for three hundred years, he masters every law.

After lying low for five hundred years, he defies his innate nature.

After lying low for seven hundred years, he becomes a revered patriarch and sage.

When all demons despair, he rules over the Three Realms, holding back the heavens with a single emerald bamboo stalk.

Many years later, standing above all living beings and treading upon countless Great Daos, Lu Qingchen holds a bamboo root and looks at the monkey before him, smiling warmly. "After all that fighting, making you cry is still the most satisfying!"
