Chapter 23 Kalin the Sage
King Piccolo was momentarily stunned and was struck by Shang Yun's Myriad Kingdoms Shocking Palm. He was stimulated by the electric current and shouted loudly.
"Wukong!" Shang Yun shouted with his last bit of strength. His golden body disappeared, he withdrew from the Vajra Prajna Power state, and collapsed to the ground, unable to unleash the Myriad Kingdoms Shocking Palm again.
Sun Wukong, standing behind Shang Yun, slammed his right hand on the ground, causing his body to leap into the air.
"Kamehameha!!!"
Goku once again used the Kamehameha in reverse, using the recoil of the wave to clench his right fist and rush towards Piccolo.
Piccolo had just escaped the control of the World Shocking Palm and hadn't even caught his breath when Goku pierced through his body.
King Piccolo sensed his impending doom in mid-air. After praising Goku's prowess, he mustered all his strength to spit out his last egg, and then his entire body exploded in mid-air.
Shang Yun watched the egg fly towards the sky and knew that it was the new Piccolo Daimaō, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Seeing Sun Wukong plummeting rapidly, Shang Yun and Tien Shinhan were too weak to catch him. Just as they were getting anxious, a fat man suddenly rushed under Sun Wukong and caught him. It was Yajirobe.
Seeing that Goku's injuries were too severe, Yajirobe took him to Korin Tower again to seek treatment from Master Korin. Meanwhile, Shang Yun and Tien Shinhan, supporting each other, returned to tell everyone the good news of Piccolo Daimaō's defeat.
This battle also made Shang Yun realize one thing: although maintaining the Vajra Prajna Force was extremely taxing, Shang Yun's state of mind was extremely calm under the Vajra Prajna Force state. When fighting against Piccolo's subordinates, Shang Yun was struggling to hold on while trying to enter the "Zen state". Perhaps because he had never experienced such a life-and-death battle before, his state of mind was not calm enough to enter the state for a long time, and he could not use Zen Awakening? Spirit Evasion Technique and Zen Meditation? Void Spirit Domain. However, he had entered the state of Vajra Prajna Force, and he could use both of these combat techniques.
Since Shang Yun was not seriously injured and was practicing the Prajna Heart Sutra, he fully recovered in just half a day, while Tien Shinhan would need a month to recover.
Bulma proposes using the Dragon Balls to revive those killed by Piccolo Daimaō, but Tien Shinhan informs them that Shenron has already been eaten by Piccolo Daimaō, and the Dragon Balls have turned to stone. Everyone feels helpless upon hearing this news.
After Shang Yun recovered, he said he was going to Kalin Tower to find the Sage Kalin, hoping that the Sage Kalin might have a solution.
Shang Yun asked Bulma for a capsule containing a cooler and a capsule containing a backpack. He then went to the sea and caught a whole box full of fish. Arriving at Korin Tower, Shang Yun quickly climbed up and saw Goku had just eaten a Senzu Bean and instantly recovered. Yajirobe was lying on the ground nearby, presumably having carried Goku up again.
"Shang Yun, you've arrived." Sun Wukong was very happy to see Shang Yun.
"Hmm, Wukong, you've recovered?"
"Yes, Master Korin's Senzu Beans are amazing. Eating one will instantly restore your strength and keep you from getting hungry for ten days," Sun Wukong said with a smile.
"Really? Sage Kalin, hello. Could you please give me some Senzu Beans?" Shang Yun looked at Sage Kalin, put his hands together, and bowed.
"I know you. Your name is Shang Yun, right? You did a great job in the battle against King Piccolo." Master Korin said with a smile, "But I can't give you Senzu Beans so easily."
"I can trade you food." With that, Shang Yun opened the multi-purpose capsule in the refrigerator, where the fish were still jumping around.
"I have plenty of food. Hmm, it smells delicious. What is this? Fish! It's fish!" Kalin's eyes were almost heart-shaped as he excitedly grabbed a fish, put it in his mouth, and slurped it down, bones and all.
"As long as you give me some magic beans, all these fish are yours, and I will continue to send you fish whenever I have time. We can keep exchanging them," Shang Yun said with a smile.
"Give them all to me! Okay! Okay! There are several tanks over there, go get them, just leave some for me as seeds." Kalin the Immortal didn't even turn his head, carrying the bathtub into the bedroom.
Shang Yun poured the Senzu Beans into his backpack, then stored the backpack away as a multi-purpose capsule, leaving a jar of Senzu Beans for Korin as seeds. Shang Yun was also thinking about future battles, to prevent these Senzu Beans from being wasted by Yajirobe.
After doing all this, Shang Yun told Sun Wukong that Shenron had been eaten by Piccolo Daimaō, and the Dragon Balls had all turned to stone and were no longer usable. He wanted to ask Master Korin if he had any ideas. Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong rushed into Master Korin's bedroom, called him out, and asked for a solution.
Master Korin said that the souls of those killed by the demons can never be released and can only wander painfully in the universe. However, there is a way to revive Master Roshi, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and the others: find Kami, who created the Dragon Balls, and ask him to revive Shenron, then wish to revive them.
"Gods!" Sun Wukong exclaimed.
"Yes, it is the Celestial God. The Celestial God's Temple is located at the top of Kalin Tower. To see the Celestial God, one must defeat me and gain my approval. I will give him a bell, and only those who possess the bell can see the Celestial God." The Celestial God said, his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky and squinting.
"Alright!" Shang Yun and Sun Wukong smiled at each other and swung their arms as they walked toward Sage Kalin.
"No! No! The fact that you two were able to defeat King Piccolo has already proven your strength. You've passed the test." Seeing the two's actions, Master Korin couldn't keep up the act any longer and quickly waved his hand to stop them.
Then Master Korin told the two that Kami's Lookout was located above Korin Tower, and the magical artifact connecting Korin Tower and Kami's Lookout was the Power Pole. Master Korin had lent the Power Pole to Master Roshi, who then passed it on to Gohan, and finally Gohan passed it on to Goku.
However, Goku then realized he had lost the Power Pole. He quickly summoned his Flying Nimbus, took Shang Yun with him, and rushed to the site of their previous battle, but they couldn't find it anywhere. Later, he remembered he could ask Baba for help if he encountered difficulties. At Baba's palace, Baba stated that no one was qualified to fight the two who defeated Piccolo, and promised to give Goku a free fortune telling. After learning about the Power Pole, the two went to Master Roshi's house and found that Launch was temporarily using it. Goku retrieved the Power Pole, and Shang Yun informed everyone that they could revive Master Roshi, Krillin, and Chiaotzu. Before leaving, he specifically instructed them to protect the remains of Master Roshi and the others.
After obtaining the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), Sun Wukong inserted it into the top port of Korin Tower. The staff began to extend, reaching all the way to the bottom port of the Temple of the Gods. Sun Wukong and Shang Yun followed the staff to the Temple of the Gods.
