Gonna miss this comment section.

It has been repeatedly implied throughout this story during the multiple flashbacks. Well even in the original story Guan Yin was obviously more powerful than Wu Kong since he kept asking her for help, but she never really took direct action herself, preferring to lend him OP asf items or to help call for heavenly reinforcements. Source: what I remember from voraciously reading the original novel


In the original story only Buddha was more powerful than Wukong, but Guanyin was much better-connected than Wukong. Everytime Wukong went to ask her for help it was for information on the weakness of a foe that Wukong had trouble dealing with due to a specific skill the foe had, or to request a (literal) deus ex machina to solve a problem. Most of the time Wukong could simply have nuked the countryside to take care of the problem himself but is prevented from doing so.

Xi You Ji was a commentary on the way government worked in the Yuan-Ming era. Wukong represented the many Bandit Kings that the Yuan government in its decline and later the unstable early Ming's house of Zhu were forced to enfeoff or buy out some other way to incorporate them into the imperial order. It should be mentioned here that Zhu Yuanzhang himself was one such bandit king originally and that the Yuan dynasty did enfeoff him in an effort to stop his rebellion. It's just that he instead used the opportunity to attack other rebels and imcorporate their armies into his before again turning his sights on the Yuan. "Only the Buddha could stop him," was a lament commonly heard in the populace when referring to such warlords, even in the early 20th century. Xi You Ji simply turned this lament into a literal story event.

When Wukong left for the Journey, he represented the imperial inspectors who toured the country rooting out corruption. These inspectors, like Wukong, held power to militarily neutralize corrupt officials but, like how Wukong in full power would have decimated the very people he's meant to protect, the inspectors were discouraged from utilizing their full authority because it would just destabilize the regions they were cleaning up. Instead, inspectors would identify the patrons of local corrupt officials (monster A), report to their superior in the capital (Guanyin), who would then contact said patron (god/immortal B) and obtain that patron's help withdrawing his protege from office (turning monster A back to pet A).

If you look closely, most of the monsters in Xi You Ji end up that way. Monster A does bad things, Wukong goes to Guanyin, is told monster A used to be pet A belonging to immortal B, then go to immortal B to ask him to provide a magic device to turn monster A back to pet A or go pick up said pet himself.

The special exception to this was the Bull Demon King, who represented a still-active bandit king. That's why he's so memorable in the lore (earning himself the right to marry off his daughter to Earth's - no, the Universe's - mightiest hero) and doesn't have a patron deity to turn him back into the white bull but instead turned himself back. So one of the ex-warlord-cum-inspector's first jobs was to convince a fellow warlord to join the Empire. He failed in this task and the BDK was sent off to Heaven in his white bull form, probably to be executed.

ok the wife is dead but at least he didn't get cucked so there's that

Who knows that iron rake are powerful weapon. +1 for weapon creativity.

Holy shit! It's chibi-Hitler to the rescue!

Puny human.

how much do you wana bet the pig guys wife was in on it the whole time? shes probably part of the little brothers harem or some shit.

We now got Buddha himself in this bitch! I gets better & better with each chapter.

The guy who asked the original question was referring to the little kid who Guanyin said was supposed to be dead somewhere, not Guanyin him/herself. Thus my response since the guy who then answered that post gave a Wiki link about Guanyin.

I see, my bad for jumping to conclusions then,

The Sun Wukong in this manhua has the body of a child according to the promo spread. The kid is probably him. If anyone can beat back Guanyin it'll have to be The Great Sage Equaling Heaven. I personally still prefer chibi-Hitler and hope the burning swastika will lead to his special attack Might of the Wehrmacht, summoning a force of one Maus, four King Tigers, eight Tigers, 16 Panthers, 32 Panzer IVs, and the Dora megacannon.

he can use his ultimate attack "Zyklon B shower!"

No. Avalokiteśvara (which Guanyin is a Chinese representation of AFAIK) has many well-known manifestations, including "Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed" one

This article would tell you who it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanyin

Gautama Buddha himself?

Sure seems like it.

Gautama Buddha himself?

Who is the little kid?  A reincarnated  Wukong?  Must be someone from the original team since they thought he was dead.

JTTW-13 has been fixed.

 

Everyone who has already read the chapter should reread JTTW-13 due to missing pages + duplication error!

Page 19 and 20: Wait a minute. I thought the huge mouth was her stomach, but it was her vagina and the tentacles were pubs. wtf.

Good eyes you have there, indeed she seems to have an extreme case of vagina dentata.
