Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Another Chaos Divine Pearl (2nd Update)

“Scram out of the way, you lot!”

“Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!”

The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod continuously reached out towards the great violet halberd. Sun Wukong’s left fist fiercely thrust out, and before his fist, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Realms evolved, with the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation surging from within, wrapping around the black thunder and dragging it all into the pathway of reincarnation where it was eliminated into oblivion.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed as the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and the great violet halberd struck each other, halting the halberd. Sun Wukong’s figure immediately followed up, swinging the rod in a full circle and fiercely smashing it onto the shaft of the violet halberd, sending it spinning towards Erlang God Yang Jian who stepped forward to catch it.

“Much appreciated!”

Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes lit up. He saw the uniqueness of the violet halberd, swung his Tri-point Double-edged Sword to block it, then grasped the halberd’s shaft. Although Yang Jian typically wielded a sword, his Tri-point Double-edged Sword shared similar techniques with the halberd’s, making the violet halberd particularly suited to his liking.

Having secured the violet halberd for Yang Jian, Sun Wukong let out a huge sigh of relief and was ready to escape from the black hole when suddenly a nine-colored light flashed in front of him, causing his eyes to widen tremendously.

That was the Chaos Divine Pearl!

Sun Wukong himself possessed a Chaos Divine Pearl, making him all too familiar with its appearance and the light it emitted!

If all these were merely superficial, then the reaction of the Chaos Divine Pearl within him was the best proof. The moment Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Starry Eyes spotted the brilliance of the Chaos Divine Pearl, the pearl inside him stirred violently, feeling as if it was about to burst forth from his body, a clear reaction of encountering something of the same origin.

Sun Wukong could be one hundred percent certain that the pearl radiating the nine-colored light was indeed a Chaos Divine Pearl!

“Heaven truly favors me!”

Sun Wukong was overjoyed. His body, which had been ready to turn back, abruptly changed direction and charged straight into the spacetime black hole, determined to obtain the Chaos Divine Pearl at any cost!

“Wukong, what are you doing? Come out quickly, it’s dangerous!”

Nezha shouted, but Sun Wukong’s reaction and speed were faster than his. By the time Nezha saw the violet halberd, Sun Wukong had already struck it towards Erlang God Yang Jian. Everything should have been joyful, but unexpectedly, Sun Wukong had dashed into the spacetime black hole!

The spacetime black hole was known to be a one-way trip; there had indeed been greedy immortals who had plunged into it in the past and none had ever emerged alive. Had Sun Wukong lost his mind to dare to charge into it?

Wind-Fire Wheels appeared beneath Nezha’s feet, and he forcefully kicked off, intending to soar and chase after Sun Wukong into the black hole, but Erlang God Yang Jian, descending from the sky, pulled him back to the ground.

“Big brother Yang, let me go! I need to save Wukong!”

“You can’t save him! And he doesn’t need your saving!”

Erlang God Yang Jian growled, “Sun Wukong isn’t driven by impulse—he must have his reasons! You know how terrifying the spacetime black hole is. Do you want to trap yourself in there as well?”

“But Wukong, he… he…”

Nezha couldn’t continue as Sun Wukong’s figure had already rushed into the spacetime black hole, which then couldn’t hold up anymore and began to collapse, quickly disintegrating into tiny spacetime fissures before completely vanishing.

The spacetime black hole disappeared, not to open again for ten thousand years!

Sun Wukong also vanished along with the spacetime black hole!

“Wukong~!”

Nezha cried out in anguish while a hint of pain flickered in Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes. Although he believed Sun Wukong wouldn’t have rashly plunged into the spacetime black hole without reason, it was still the spacetime black hole after all, the very same hole into which many immortals had entered and never returned. Could Sun Wukong possibly be the exception?

“Damned monkey! I had just obtained this Purple Lightning Thunder Halberd, and now you’ve fled, afraid to face me?”

Murmuring to himself, Erlang God Yang Jian clenched his fists tightly, a shade of sorrow crossing his face. He hadn’t known Sun Wukong for long and to be honest, initially, he didn’t quite think highly of Sun Wukong, seeing him as merely lucky and dependent on opportunities to get to where he was today. However, after genuinely getting to know him, Yang Jian found himself unexpectedly influenced by Sun Wukong. Nezha was right—Sun Wukong indeed was a friend worth joining in life and death. It was a pity that he had never really shown any kindness towards him, and now it was too late for regrets…

“And I’m not afraid to face you!”

Suddenly, a light laughter resounded through the air. Erlang God Yang Jian and Nezha, in surprise, looked up towards the source of the voice. At the very spot where the spacetime black hole had been, a spacetime fissure suddenly appeared and rapidly expanded. A figure emerged from it, and if not Sun Wukong, then who?

After Sun Wukong emerged from the spacetime fissure, the fissure shrunk and disappeared; his figure fell from the air onto the platform. Looking at Nezha and Erlang God Yang Jian with a playful smile, he said, “I’ve only left for a little while, how can you guys miss me so much? Yang Jian, your three eyes can actually shed tears for someone else now! How rare, truly rare!”

A tear at the corner of Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes caught Sun Wukong’s attention, immediately warming his heart. Though he joked verbally, his face was filled with smiles. Having such friends and brothers made it worthwhile to come back to this world and walk this path again!

“Wukong, why did you rush into the spacetime black hole? It was too risky! And, how did you come back?”

Nezha walked around Sun Wukong a couple of times, checking him from head to toe to ensure there were no injuries, then finally heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a puzzled tone.

“It was nothing. I discovered a suitable magical treasure and went in to retrieve it,”

Sun Wukong said, but did not specify what kind of magical treasure it was. Switching topics, he continued, “As for how I came back? I have to thank these eyes of mine! I can see spacetime points, remember their characteristics, and then open a spacetime passage to come back.”

Sun Wukong spoke lightly, but Nezha was astounded by his words, and Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes gleamed. Firstly, the object Sun Wukong retrieved must not be ordinary, for there had been no hint of it in so many days, and yet he had suddenly risked diving into a spacetime black hole, which was unreasonable.

Secondly, Sun Wukong’s eyes were indeed miraculous, capable of seeing through space itself. However, being able to see through space did not mean he could freely travel between spaces; he needed to be conscious and mark down these spacetime points in advance.

In any case, no matter what, Sun Wukong had now returned safely, which was the best outcome.

“By the way, Yang Jian, how is this weapon doing?”

Sun Wukong shifted the topic to the purple great halberd of Erlang God Yang Jian. Perhaps there was a special bond between Erlang God Yang Jian and the purple great halberd because, in just a short time, he had completely subdued the great halberd and infused his essence blood into the body of the halberd, and he was currently refining it.

“Purple Lightning Thunder Halberd, superior grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, comes with Innate Purple Lightning and a range skill Thunder God’s Annihilation, power unknown,”

Erlang God Yang Jian spoke, glancing at Sun Wukong, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit, “Sun Wukong, when I master the power of my domain, we should have a good contest!”

“Hahaha, no problem, I’m waiting for you!”

Sun Wukong burst into laughter, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, “Alright, there are ten days left before this place closes. Let’s cultivate intensely and strive to break through to quasi-Saint!”

Quasi-Saint?

Erlang God Yang Jian and Nezha exchanged glances; had Sun Wukong really reached the threshold of becoming a quasi-Saint?

“No way, I can’t let this guy get ahead of me, I must also break through to quasi-Saint!”

Erlang God Yang Jian clenched his teeth, determined in his heart. He too sat down cross-legged, already falling behind Sun Wukong in mastering the power of his domain, he couldn’t afford to lag behind in achieving the quasi-Saint realm too!

Seeing Sun Wukong and Erlang God Yang Jian start their cultivation, Nezha’s pride was also aroused. Having restored his Spirit Pearl Primordial Body and equipping himself with the Crimson Flame Dragon Spear, he believed his talent did not fall short of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian. Whatever they could do, he could do too!

Before long, all three—Sun Wukong, Nezha, and Erlang God Yang Jian—sat cross-legged on the ground, vigorously channeling their cultivation techniques, and began the assault on the quasi-Saint realm.

In the Jade Pond Water Pavilion, inside the Queen Mother’s bedchamber.

“Your Majesty, did you really heed the advice of Ran Deng Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva to deal with Wukong at the Peach of Immortality feast?”

The Queen Mother looked at the Jade Emperor with a cold face. Although she was asking, her words carried a slight tone of accusation.

There are no walls without cracks in the world. The Jade Emperor’s conspiracies with Ran Deng Buddha within the Lingxia Palace had somehow reached the Queen Mother’s ears. The Queen Mother had invited the Jade Emperor to the Jade Pool, already prepared to accept Zi Lan Fairy as her adopted daughter at the Peach of Immortality feast, and grant Sun Wukong and Zi Lan Fairy a marriage—a plan to firmly bind Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court. It was unexpected for the Jade Emperor to develop other intentions, fooled by Ran Deng Buddha’s advice, planning a scheme against Sun Wukong. If this forced Sun Wukong to rebel, wouldn’t all her meticulous efforts be in vain?

“Indeed, it is true!”@@novelbin@@

A flash of anger passed through the Jade Emperor’s eyes. Who exactly had disclosed the situation to the Queen Mother? Since the Queen Mother already knew, the Jade Emperor no longer concealed it and directly nodded his confession.

“Your Majesty, how could you be so confused! Sun Wukong has great potential, and it’s the Buddhist Sect who fears our Heavenly Court acquiring a strong ally, hence their instigation…”

“Enough!”

The Jade Emperor sharply interrupted the Queen Mother with a stern shout, “Queen Mother, you know well that the Demon Monkey Sun Wukong has great potential, but let’s not forget, he is after all from the Demon Clan and notoriously hard to tame!”
