Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 684 - 626: The Magical Medicinal Human Seed
Seeing the thing inside the Medicinal Human Seed, Sun Wukong's brain whirled furiously. If this thing appeared here, it would be sufficient to confirm that the Great Honored Buddhism had a considerable grasp on the longevity technique of this kind. According to what Dharma Seal had said, this had been going on for at least three hundred years. Three hundred years—what extent of research had they achieved? Had they completely mastered it? Did they also possess people with Immortal Bodies?
What Sun Wukong saw inside that Medicinal Human Seed was a small black lock. It was not something ordinary; it was a miniature version of the mysterious chains from back then, ones borne by the Underworld God Army patrolling the Celestial World. Although the small lock inside the Medicinal Human Seed only seemed like an embryonic form, the unique patterns on it could definitely not be mistaken. And not only was there a single lock taking shape, but there were many more chains being nurtured within the veins of that Medicinal Human Seed's body.
Therefore, Sun Wukong was so shocked when he saw the chains and lock. He couldn't help but feel astounded. Sun Wukong had always believed that those mysterious chains capable of granting immortality were exclusive to the Patrolling Celestial World, but now they had turned up in a place like this, and they were still in their embryonic forms. His brain was almost instantly thrown into chaos as countless thoughts rose in his mind. He had to take several deep breaths to settle the turmoil within his heart.
Fa Qing, who was beside him, noticed that Sun Wukong's expression was unusual and couldn't help but ask, "Qi Tian Junior Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Sun Wukong shook his head repeatedly but did not speak. His mind was filled with all sorts of ideas and conjectures; where did he have the time to pay attention to Fa Qing? Those who had cultivated special techniques were called Medicinal Human Seeds by the people here. After undergoing special treatment by the Holy Ultimate Buddhist Sect, embryonic forms of chains would appear within their bodies. This brought Sun Wukong to his first question: Were these embryonic chains born from within the Medicinal Human Seeds, or were they placed there by the Holy Ultimate Buddhist Sect?
This question essentially asked whether the Medicinal Human Seeds were merely containers for the growth of the chains, or if they were the creators. If they were just containers, where did the embryonic forms of the chains come from? Could it be that they were created by the Holy Ultimate Buddhist Sect? But originally, didn't the Underworld God Army claim that the chains were created by them and then modified by the Punishers to their current form? So, was the Underworld God Army lying, or did the Holy Ultimate Buddhist Sect obtain them through some means?
Next was the fact that the embryonic forms of the chains were now appearing within these Medicinal Human Seeds. Was the Great Honored Buddhism doing this to possess the chains' power of eternal life, or were they creating these chains for the Law Enforcers? Hence, it could be inferred that if they were creating chains for the Law Enforcers, could it mean that Buddha's Pure Land was just a place where the Law Enforcers manufactured these mysterious chains? And across the cosmos's other worlds, were there similar places?
With this in mind, another question arose: Why did the Law Enforcers want so many chains? The Underworld God Army only had so many, and Sun Wukong knew that each member of the Celestial World's Underworld God Army was already bound by such chains. What about the remaining chains? What did the Law Enforcers want with them? So many years plus countless worlds—how many such chains had the Law Enforcers stored up? Of course, this speculation was based on the assumption that Buddha's Pure Land was manufacturing chains for the Law Enforcers. If the Great Honored Buddhism of Buddha's Pure Land was simply creating the chains for themselves, how did they come to know of the chains' existence?
What was the connection between the people of the Great Honored Buddhism and the Underworld God Army? Since Buddha's Pure Land was a subordinate world of the Ancient Primordial World, could it be related to this matter too? Sun Wukong suddenly remembered that initially, the Ancient Primordial World had allied with Myriad Demons Country and Annihilation Demon Nation—could there truly be some connection? This was like a tangled mess with no leads; Sun Wukong couldn't even begin to unravel it. However, Sun Wukong was increasingly certain that it was no coincidence that he and his four disciples had come to Buddha's Pure Land. Moreover, once he personally inspected the Great Honored Buddhism, many questions would be solved.
Right now, Sun Wukong couldn't wait to fly to the Great Honored Buddhism to see what exactly was being plotted by the First Rank sect of Buddha's Pure Land. However, he immediately suppressed the impulse; alarming the enemy would be counterproductive, and a covert investigation would yield more genuine results than an aggressive interrogation. Having the identity of the Holy Ultimate Buddhism disciple was already very convenient. And Sun Wukong remembered Fa Qing mentioning that by showing some talent in front of the people from the Great Honored Buddhism, there was a good chance he could be taken under their wing. So Sun Wukong's opportunity was significant; as long as he pretended to breakthrough and in fact advanced to the Intermediate Grade Dao Transformation, he couldn't believe that the people from the Great Honored Buddhism wouldn't accept him.
Once I became a disciple of the Great Honored Buddhism, under my fiery, golden eyes, nothing could hide. However, Sun Wukong also had to make some extra preparations. In Buddha's Pure Land Realm, Sun Wukong could only exert the strength equivalent to One Pattern of Dao at most, and not for too long. If it were at the Dao Transformation Peak, there would be no limit. But if the Great Honored Buddhism had indeed mastered the use of these mysterious chains, there would certainly be a large number of Dead Soldiers with Immortal Bodies, and that bunch of unkillables were quite tricky. Up to now, aside from knowing that the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent could indeed kill those chained, Wukong still didn't know any other method.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong suddenly remembered the two chains that Zhu Bajie had swallowed. Wait, that's not right; if there truly was no way to kill them, where did those two chains come from? Sun Wukong recalled initially throwing two Underworld God Army members who wore those chains into the Thunder Pond and then ignoring it. According to Bajie, he found only the two chains at the bottom of the Thunder Pond, with no sign of the people, which meant that those two had been completely disintegrated by the Thunder Pond into fundamental Spiritual Power. So, could it be that besides the destructive power of the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, some disintegrating force within the Thunder Pond also worked on those wearing the chains?
At the same time, Sun Wukong also remembered that during his time patrolling the Celestial World, people like Jue Luan from the Genesis Divine Nation discussed alliance matters at the Netherworld Palace and brought out several chains, claiming them to be their spoils of war. This proved that the people of Genesis Divine Nation also had some method to kill the Underworld God Army, but what could that method be? The Genesis Divine Nation had two Unique Skills, the Seal Heavenly Stamp and the Chaos Five Decisions, both of which Wukong knew, but the Seal Heavenly Stamp didn't have a direct lethality—could it be a certain decision among the Chaos Five Decisions?

With these thoughts, Sun Wukong suddenly became eager. He wanted to find those wearing the chains right now and test them one by one to see what methods could affect them. Wukong truly hadn't anticipated that the Underworld God Army and these mysterious chains he encountered in the Patrolling Celestial World would have so much insider information. Perhaps this world, this universe, was far more complex than Sun Wukong had imagined, and even more responsible. Now he was taking steps towards an even more intricate vortex.
When people are lost in thought, time flies especially fast. When Sun Wukong was patted on the shoulder by a Magic Artifact and woke up from his deep contemplation, he suddenly realized it was already noon. Fa Qing, seeing Sun Wukong's surprised gaze, said in amazement, "Brother Qi Tian, what's wrong with you? I thought you had become possessed, acting all strange this morning." Sun Wukong replied with a wry smile, "I suddenly remembered some issues with my cultivation and got lost in thought, forgetting the time. Why have we stopped?" Fa Qing patted Wukong because, had he not called out to him, Wukong would have bumped into the Medicinal Human Seed in front of them.
"You're really hardworking. It's already noon, and we need to rest. Ahead is the first Sect we will pass by. Get ready; it's time to reap the benefits!" After saying this, Fa Qing started to tidy up his attire. Wukong noticed that the fatigue evident on Fa Qing's face that morning had vanished, and he now looked energetic and triumphant. Wukong couldn't help but chuckle, but still neatened up his own clothes, putting on an air of dignified bearing.
Soon, their fellow disciple spoke up, "Disciple Di Zhan from the Holy Ultimate Buddhist Sect, escorting the Great Honored Buddhism's Medicinal Human through this territory, dares to ask if we may rest at your esteemed Sect?" Hearing this, Sun Wukong chuckled even more; they were still several miles from the Sect, yet Di Zhan was already making his announcement, seemingly quite pompous in demeanor. Beside him, Fa Qing whispered to Wukong, "Don't laugh, keep a serious face. We represent the Great Honored Buddhism now; this is necessary protocol. The Sect Master of that small Sect will come to welcome us soon; we must have full composure." With that, he even gave Wukong a wink.
Wukong nodded in understanding. Then, he heard a voice from miles away hailing them, "Sect Leader of the Spiritual Mount Buddhist Sect, along with disciples, offers services once again!" As the voice finished, Wukong saw that miles down the road, the entire ground began to blossom with layers of pure white lotuses that covered the whole road, with the lotuses spreading quickly towards them down the path at their feet. It reached Wukong and the others in the blink of an eye. Di Zhan showed no emotion as he waved his hand and then confidently stepped onto the lotus-paved path.
"Hehe, isn't it quite a feeling? All Sects must receive us with the highest standards. Of course, the second and third rank Sects we'll encounter later won't be quite as meticulous. This Spiritual Mount Buddhist Sect is a Fifth Rank Sect." Fa Qing said, then with a stern look and his head held high, he strutted on the lotus-covered ground, with Wukong following suit, finding the entire affair quite amusing. This should be a sign of submission, signifying that the Fifth Rank Sect, the Spiritual Mount Buddhist Sect, completely submits to the First Rank Sect, the Great Honored Buddhism.(To be continued.
