Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 682 - 624 Golden Dragon Horn
After selecting three sets of equipment, Wukong also had the chance to choose a Magic Treasure and other items. He didn't have any special requirements for the Magic Treasure and casually picked one with the highest grade. As for the other items, Wukong was somewhat interested. So, he headed to the third area. In this area, everything looked extremely ordinary, all placed on large bookshelves. The items here were incredibly varied and bizarre, each one either pitch-black or exceedingly ugly.
"This is kind of interesting, haha. It seems that the items here are things that the people of Holy Ultimate Buddhism can't recognize but should all have some history. Hehe, old Sun's favorite thing now is to find treasures in the trash!" The items were just as Wukong had thought; they were all obtained by the elders of Holy Ultimate Buddhism through various means, but no one in the sect could tell what these items were, so they were all placed here. Over time, the collection had grown quite sizable.
However, this was not a problem for Wukong, who possessed the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes. After checking around, Wukong didn't find any surveillance barriers or anything like that, meaning no one was watching this place. But Wukong noticed that there was a very thin ripple of Spiritual Power on the items that was likely linked to someone. If an item were taken by someone else, the ripple would disappear, alerting someone that a few items were missing. But this ripple of Spiritual Power didn't affect Wukong.

The Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes slowly opened and within the pupils of Wukong's eyes, a strand of red flame ignited and flickered continuously. Then, with the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, Wukong slowly scanned the rows of shelves. Instantly, all the strangely-shaped items appeared in Wukong's vision, clear as day. Soon, in the pile of strange items, Wukong found two Magic Treasures at the Intermediate Grade of Dao Transformation. Wukong thought, "Using my Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes to find treasures really is a unique skill.
But after continuously inspecting three large wooden shelves, most of the items on them were junk, a few were treasures above Dao Transformation ingrained with powerful seals, and only two were at the Dao Patterns level, without any seals. People below Dao Patterns level wouldn't be able to see through them due to their lower Cultivation. Even so, Wukong wasn't terribly interested in Dao Patterns level items. Shaking his head, he continued to look towards the other rows.
This time, just as he glimpsed the second item on the fourth row of shelves, Wukong couldn't help but softly exclaim, because he couldn't see through this second item with his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, unable to discern what it was. Curiosity piqued, he pushed his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes to their limits. The flames in Wukong's eyes almost burst forth tangibly as he stared at the item for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before finally making out its peculiarity.
On that item, Wukong saw a Seal that was extremely powerful, likely laid down by a Heavenly Venerate or even someone above that Level. Moreover, Wukong noticed something else; the material of this item seemed to be exactly the same as White Dragon's gold seal. Retracting the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, everything returned to normal. Wukong stepped forward and took the item in his hand. It was very strange, after scrutinizing it for a long time, Wukong barely recognized that it should be a horn from the head of some animal.
And it wasn't a single horn, but a pair of symmetrical horns connected by several bones. As he looked at it, Wukong felt it was very similar to a Dragon Horn. How odd, he thought, firstly to find in an Intermediate Level Sect of an Intermediate World an item sealed at least by a Heavenly Venerate Level power, and moreover, an item made of a Metal Attribute material like a Dragon Horn. After playing with it for a while, Wukong couldn't find much information, but he knew this item was definitely not simple. Holding the item that resembled a Dragon Horn, Wukong activated his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes again to look at the other items but didn't find anything noteworthy. However, stumbling upon this item was an unexpected surprise.
Carrying the item like a Dragon Horn, Wukong returned the way he came to the main entrance. After being thoroughly inspected by the elder, Wukong received his Identity Plaque and left. Once outside, he saw that Fa Qing had already emerged. This time, Fa Qing had chosen a good Zen Staff from the Dao Transformation Primary Grade. Seeing Wukong come out, Fa Qing immediately asked with joy how Wukong's haul was. After Wukong showed him what he got, Fa Qing became envious and repeatedly marveled at how good Wukong's eye and luck were.
However, when Wukong showed him the item similar to a Dragon Horn, a peculiar expression appeared on Fa Qing's face. Seeing Fa Qing's changed expression, Wukong couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with this item?" Fa Qing's expression, somewhere between laughing and crying, concerned Wukong. At that point, Fa Qing unconsciously retreated a few steps and said, "Junior brother, you'd better return this item."
"What's wrong? I quite like this thing." Fa Qing shook his head. "You don't know, this item is very sinister. There have been many people who picked this thing when selecting treasures, but without exception, a few months later, all were sent back. When this thing is stored in the Weaponry Pavilion, everything is normal, but once it comes into contact with a person's breath, it emits a kind of fluctuation, which makes whoever touches this thing unlucky!" Sun Wukong immediately laughed and asked, "Tell me, how exactly does it bring bad luck? I'm interested in these strange and unusual things."
Fa Qing, somewhat speechlessly, said, "This thing will slowly assimilate everything it touches into metal, and that kind of metal is just scrap metal, without any use. Moreover, if you have it nearby during cultivation, even your spiritual energy will be affected. Junior brother, hurry and send it back!" Sun Wukong was stunned upon hearing this. How was this similar to White Dragon's seal? The only difference was that the assimilation from this item was very weak due to the seal on it, which only took effect when it was close to people, and the metal produced by the assimilation had issues. It seemed that this item and the seal were of the same nature. In that case, could it be another treasure for White Dragon?
The seal, the Golden Tree, and now this Golden Dragon Horn, hehe, White Dragon's luck really isn't bad. "It's okay, I'll keep it for now. If there's a problem later, I'll send it back." Having said that, he put the golden dragon horn into his storage space and planned to take it out to show White Dragon when no one was around. And this Heavenly Venerate's seal, there should be a way to break it. After all, the seal must be incomplete; otherwise, the weak assimilation would not be happening.
Seeing Sun Wukong's firm attitude, Fa Qing had nothing else to say and just sighed, "Since you like it, just be careful. That's it for today; let's go back and rest. We will gather at the main gate early in the morning to set out." After that, he eagerly returned to his meditation room. He hadn't had the chance to carefully examine the weapon he had just received.
Sun Wukong smiled, strolled back to his own meditation room, closed the door, and set up a defensive formation. Sun Wukong then stored the Golden Dragon Horn in the World Within the Artifact and let his Divine Sense sink into it. After entering the World Within the Artifact, Sun Wukong first checked on Bajie's condition and found that Bajie was all right, with Ying Zhao standing guard by the Thunder Pond. He then took the Golden Dragon Horn and went over to White Dragon. Surrounded by several mountains, White Dragon could be seen cultivating under the Golden Tree while Ji Meng was meditating on a mountaintop.
After waking White Dragon, Sun Wukong casually tossed the Golden Dragon Horn to him. White Dragon, initially somewhat annoyed at being woken up as he was just getting into his cultivation, was immediately surprised upon seeing the horn. "This is big, where did this come from?" Sun Wukong explained that he had stumbled upon it, to which White Dragon exclaimed, "It's truly like a long drought meeting sweet rain. With this thing, my cultivation speed can definitely increase by more than fifty percent." Sun Wukong couldn't help but wonder, "You recognize this thing? It looks to be a dragon horn to me!"
White Dragon shook his head and then nodded, "I don't know what exactly this item is, but I'm sure that it can only bring me benefits and no harm. And this dragon horn seems to come from the same source as my seal, the material should be the same. Moreover, it appears to have some connection with this Golden Tree, though I haven't completely refined it yet and don't know much!" Sun Wukong nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Continue your cultivation. If anything goes wrong, have Ji Meng notify me immediately." White Dragon indicated he understood.
"As for the seal on this Golden Dragon Horn, try and see if you can unlock it yourself. If you can't, I'll figure out a way next time I come!" After that, Sun Wukong's Divine Sense left the World Within the Artifact and returned to his body. Sun Wukong suddenly wear a meaningful smile. If before he couldn't be sure, now he was quite certain there was either a person or a force behind all this, guiding him towards completing certain matters.
"Heh, this is getting interesting. It seems none of this is a coincidence. The Buddha's Pure Land Realm, the Buddha-worshipping Sect, the Battle Buddha Sect, the Holy Ultimate Buddhism. Step by step, they all seem connected. The Buddha-worshipping Sect led me to discover the Battle Buddha Sect, the Battle Buddha Sect revealed the enemy battle and those so-called Medicinal Human Seeds, and in this Holy Ultimate Buddhism I found this Golden Dragon Horn. Hmph, what then is the Great Honored Buddism waiting for me to uncover?"
As White Dragon mentioned the Golden Dragon Horn and the seal being of the same material, Sun Wukong instantly pieced together many things. Perhaps, there are no coincidences in this world; what you perceive as coincidences are just because you don't understand the inevitability behind them! (.
