Chapter 31 Upgrade—Di Sha Transformation (Gold)! Taiyi Profound Immortal Realm!

Five months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Yellow Wind King defeated a great demon who possessed the Di Sha Transformation trait and seized its final Di Sha Transformation trait.

[Your Di Sha Transformation trait is complete. Do you want to fuse and upgrade it?].

“Upgrade!”

[Di Sha Transformation completed. You have acquired the trait: Di Sha Transformation (Gold)!]. [Di Sha Transformation (Gold): Evade the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, gather the Yin-Yang Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, and transform all living beings and objects at will with a single thought.].

Buzz!

Yellow Wind King’s body radiated divine brilliance. A vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged toward him, forming a towering vortex that reached the sky.

A colossal phantom of the Moon-Devouring Demon Rat stood like a mountain, exuding an aura of ancient wilderness.

“Eh?”

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong and the demon kings emerged, gazing at the rat-headed, demonic-bodied deity in shock.

“Good brother, you have also mastered the Di Sha Transformation!”

Sun Wukong was delighted and thought to himself, As expected, the Grandmaster didn’t just teach me the method to evade tribulations. My brother, like me, also chose the Di Sha Transformation.

The demon kings were in awe and admiration.

“King Yellow Wind has profound cultivation! What an incredible divine power!”

Mastering the Di Sha Transformation, Yellow Wind King’s demonic god phantom became more solid. If fully materialized, it would be a Dharma-Body Transformation divine ability.

His cultivation realm also underwent a transformation, ascending from Taiyi Loose Immortal to Taiyi Profound Immortal—Profound beyond profound, wondrous beyond words!

Yellow Wind King inhaled deeply, and spiritual energy from all directions surged into him. He exhaled, and a turbulent gust swept across a hundred miles, stirring winds, clouds, and thunder. This breath alone shocked heaven and earth, made ghosts and gods weep, and caused ocean waves to tremble.

Not far from Flower Fruit Mountain, the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace felt the greatest impact. Inside the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King, Dragon Princess, and all shrimp soldiers and crab generals swayed uncontrollably as the ocean waves oscillated violently.

The Dragon King clutched his throne and shouted, “What is happening? Who dares to disturb the sea?”

“Report!”

A heavily armored general rushed in and bowed.

“A demon king in Flower Fruit Mountain of Ao Lai Kingdom has broken through his realm and is displaying his divine powers.”

The Dragon King was stunned. He stroked his beard and sat back down, sighing.

“Since it is a demon king from Flower Fruit Mountain… forget it.”

“Father! That demon king is too arrogant! Why not send troops to punish him?”

A dragon prince protested loudly.

The Dragon King glared at him and scolded, “You think sending troops is so simple? Do you disregard the laws of Heaven?”

He raised his fists and gestured upward.

“Even if we were to punish him, we would need to submit a memorial to the Heavenly Court, request approval from the Jade Emperor, and discuss it with the immortals. If an army is to be sent, celestial generals and heavenly troops will naturally be dispatched to the mortal realm to suppress him.”

The Dragon Prince wanted to argue further, but the Dragon Mother discreetly tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “My son, war brings disaster. If you attack now, there will be no benefit—first, you will be questioned and reprimanded by the immortals. Second, your own troops will suffer casualties. What’s the point?”

After his grand display, the Yellow Wind King withdrew his divine power and returned to the mountain. Sun Wukong and the demon kings gathered around to congratulate him.

Sun Wukong: “Good brother, your divine ability is no less than mine now!”

Demon Kings: “Congratulations, King Yellow Wind! Your mastery of divine abilities has greatly increased your power!”

The Yellow Wind King laughed heartily.

Sun Wukong ordered the monkeys to bring out spiritual fruits and monkey wine for a grand feast.

During the banquet, Yellow Wind King glanced at his updated system interface.

At first glance, the only new trait seemed to be [Piercing Void Eyes (Purple)], but in reality—Yellow Wind King had selectively merged many traits, focusing them into Di Sha Transformation and Tiangang Transformation.

Di Sha Transformation was upgraded to Gold.

Tiangang Transformation was enhanced to Purple.

Similar traits were merged and upgraded accordingly.

Some weaker traits were absorbed into stronger ones, such as Strength and Divine Power, which were now covered by [Moon Demon Holy Body].

“It’s like taking too many pills—you build resistance, and they stop working.”

Such excess traits would be better used to cultivate subordinates.

As the demons drank and celebrated, Sun Wukong suddenly sighed, scratching his head.

“You all have great weapons now,” he said, “but I… have none that suit me!”

The demons looked at each other in silence.

Yellow Wind King smirked and said, “Monkey brother, with your great divine abilities, ordinary weapons surely won’t do!”

Sun Wukong grinned and said, “Can you forge me a divine weapon, like your spear?”

The Yellow Wind King shook his head.

“Quality materials are rare. It was pure luck that I obtained mine.”

“Ordinary weapons and magical tools are easy to forge, but true spiritual and divine weapons require extremely rare materials.”

Sun Wukong pouted, looking dejected.

Just then, the Four Elder Monkeys exchanged glances and stepped forward.

“Great King, can you go into the sea?”
