Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Famous Throughout the World (1st Update!)

“That’s right!”

The Great Elder, Bai Wushuang, nodded decisively, “For the sake of the common people in the world, please Grant the Great Saint!”

“The common people and all that, I, Old Sun, don’t care about!”

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, “I, Old Sun, am not the ruler of the Three Realms; I don’t need to worry about the people of the realms! I’ll only ask you one thing, is it dangerous to deal with that blood demon? Could it harm Leng Xuan?”

“This…”

“Tell the truth! I, Old Sun, hate being lied to the most!”

“With the cultivation strength of Leng Xuan, there shouldn’t be any substantial injury, but there will be some consumption, after all, activating the Celestial Fox Staff requires a lot of Essence Blood from the Imperial Clan.”

Hearing this, Sun Wukong’s eyebrows furrowed. Consuming Essence Blood? Just how much Essence Blood would be used up, that was hard to say!

“I’ll take on this role of the Fox Emperor!”

While Sun Wukong was still weighing the options, Leng Xuan had already agreed outright. Seeing the look of surprise that Sun Wukong cast at him, Leng Xuan smiled: “Boss, after all, I am a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe. Since this has been the mission of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe for generations, it’s also my mission. At times like these, problems can’t be solved by running away!”

Sun Wukong looked at Leng Xuan for a while, then also smiled and extended his right fist to lightly thump on his chest: “You kid! Well done. Since you have already decided, then I, Old Sun, can only support you. But just how powerful is the blood demon’s cultivation strength? The Great Elder should at least tell us in advance, right? Otherwise, if we’re not prepared, we’ll be at a greater disadvantage when the time comes!”

“What the Great Saint says is very true!”

The Great Elder, Bai Wushuang, nodded and said, “The blood demon’s cultivation realm is at the Half-Step Saint Realm, but its abilities are extremely strange. It can control the blood within another’s body. When clashing with it, if it influences the blood within the body, the strength will be greatly reduced. If it wasn’t like that, our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would have already dealt with it and wouldn’t have continually used the Heavenly Serpent Staff to seal it until now.”

Controlling blood?

Sun Wukong’s eyebrows raised. Wasn’t this the same as the abilities of the Ancient Ancestor of the Nether River? This blood demon was born from the resentment and pollution within blood, while the Ancient Ancestor of the Nether River was born from within the Boundless Blood Sea. When it comes to the level of pollution in blood, perhaps nothing can compare to the blood within the Boundless Blood Sea, right?

“Heh, interesting! I, Old Sun, really want to meet this blood demon to see just how capable he is!”

A gleam flashed across Sun Wukong’s eyes, and a strong will to fight rose from his being, causing the Great Elder, Bai Wushuang, to be taken aback. Sun Wukong actually wanted to take on the blood demon!

“Alright, I have no objections to Leng Xuan taking over as the Fox Emperor, and as for dealing with that Blood Demon,” Wukong said, “I’ll go with Leng Xuan when the time comes to see if we can resolve this nuisance once and for all!”

“Thank you, Great Saint!”

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder Bai Wushuang was overjoyed. The threat of the Blood Demon had plagued the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan for endless years, and it was a matter not to be disclosed to outsiders. No one knew that the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe, long maligned with the reputation of vixen, had sacrificed so much for the peace of the Three Realms! If Wukong could eliminate this hidden danger entirely, it would be truly wonderful!

The ceremony for Leng Xuan’s ascension to Fox Emperor was swiftly held, scheduled for the same day as the exoneration and vindication of his mother, the Celestial Fox Lady Bai Mei. Initially, when they heard that the Celestial Fox Lady Bai Mei would be exonerated, the members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe were very surprised since such an event had never occurred in the history of the tribe. The decision made by the Elder Council was for the first time overturned, completely at that, akin to slapping their own faces in admission of past mistakes and correcting them.

However, upon hearing that Leng Xuan, the son of Lady Bai Mei, was to succeed as Fox Emperor, all the tribespeople suddenly came to terms with it. Honor to the mother through her son; with Leng Xuan set to become Fox Emperor, of course, he would want to exonerate his mother. Not to mention that the clanspeople had long been aware that the sins of the Divine Enthronement War did not lie with Bai Mei. Even if it had been Bai Mei’s doing, now with Leng Xuan in power, the Fox Emperor’s commands were above all. If Leng Xuan said his mother was wronged, then she was wronged. Even the Elder Council had to give way!

The exoneration assembly and the succession ceremony were held together, making it a grand event. The news of Leng Xuan’s succession as Fox Emperor of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe and the revelation of the covert plot from the Divine Enthronement War to vindicate his mother Bai Mei were rapidly spread throughout the Three Realms by the deliberate promotion of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe.

The Heavenly Court, within the Supreme Pure Heaven’s Greenwave Palace.

“Heh, that boy Wukong, he’s causing a stir with the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe again! Fox Emperor of Qingqiu, not bad, not bad! After Leng Xuan ascends the throne, Flower-Fruit Mountain’s influence in the Three Realms has grown even more substantial. It seems that in the third immeasurable catastrophe, besides the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect, we might have to include the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult as well. How thrilling!” the Leader of Tongtian said, standing outside the Sword Pool with a playful smirk while stroking his chin. Suddenly, his expression turned serious and he flicked a stream of fierce Sword Qi into the Sword Pool as he scolded, “What are you daydreaming about? Get on with your cultivation! Do you want to be left far behind by that little rascal Wukong?”

In the Sword Pool, Luo Bai, who was undergoing body tempering by the Sword Qi, let out a scream. Any trace of curiosity that had arisen from eavesdropping on the Sect Hierarch speaking to himself was now shattered by that blast of Sword Qi. He quickly refocused and continued his body tempering with Sword Qi without daring to harbor any further distractions.

Within the Miro Palace of the Jade Pure Heaven.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable looked at a jade slip in his hand with a sullen expression. It was an imperial edict jade slip circulated by the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe, detailing the covert plotting between the Leader of the Guiding Daoist of the Western Cult and himself, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, during the Divine Enthronement War. It narrated how the Flying Bear was sent into the Reincarnation channel to be reincarnated as Jiang Shang, Jiang Ziya, initiating the Divine Enthronement War. The details were extremely thorough—some of which even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable wasn’t too clear about—presenting the entire backstory and outcome of the Divine Enthronement War in full clarity, leaving him with no grounds for denial.

With the release of this edict, the entire Three Realms became aware of the ins and outs of the Divine Enthronement War, exposing all the devious schemes that had been lurking in the shadows to the light of day. It was as if a heavy slap had been delivered straight to Primordial Heavenly Venerable’s face, completely disgracing his revered status as “He who carries out Heaven’s mandate and governs the Taoist lineage, commanding all immortals and ruling in all directions” of the Chan Sect. From that day forward, it’s likely that all forces within the Three Realms would mock him in secret.

This was an insult that Primordial Heavenly Venerable, with his proud nature, absolutely could not tolerate!

“How dare you, Sun Wukong! I haven’t provoked you, yet you dare to come over my head and defile it! This is simply outrageous!” he bellowed in his heart. A fearsome murderous intent shone in his eyes, and a fury rushed up to his crown. Years of cultivating equanimity could not suppress this wrath. Narrowing his eyes and steeling his heart, he devised a plan.
