74: Chapter 74 Sun Wukong Eager for Reincarnation Can’t Be Stopped
74 -74 Sun Wukong Eager for Reincarnation Can’t Be Stopped
Hearing the Judge’s word, Black and White Impermanence were somewhat baffled.
Hell Path, that was the most vicious among the Six Paths of Reincarnation, only the extremely ruthless and wicked could enter.
Were they really going to cast Sun Wukong into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
And to the Hell Path, no less?
“What are you standing there for, not hurry up and go!”
Seeing Black and White Impermanence hesitating, the Judge frowned and shouted loudly.
Black and White Impermanence looked towards Yama, Lord of Hell.
“Go ahead!”
King Qin Guang waved his hand, he didn’t believe that Sun Wukong wouldn’t resist under these circumstances.
Seeing King Qin Guang give the order, Black and White Impermanence had no choice but to obey; leading Sun Wukong with the Soul-Snatching Rope, they headed straight for the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
And Sun Wukong still showed no resistance, obediently following behind Black and White Impermanence to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
“He’s just leaving like that?”
Watching Sun Wukong depart so calmly, King Qin Guang was stunned once more.
This was way too dismissive.
That was the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the most terrifying Hell Path at that.
Not to mention those fierce ghosts and wronged spirits who had been cast into the Hell Path, even he, as the chief of the Ten Yama Kings, felt some trepidation seeing this scene.
But Sun Wukong showed no reaction whatsoever.
What should they do now?
Surely Sun Wukong wasn’t really about just to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation like this!
“Lord Yama, this…
what should we do?”
It wasn’t only King Qin Guang; even the Judge was feeling unsure at this moment.
They knew that when Guanyin Bodhisattva came here and informed them, she said Sun Wukong was somewhat cautious—that a monkey like him should, by reason, be timid, even afraid of death.
Such a monkey, upon entering the Underworld Hell, should have caused an uproar as his first reaction.
But now upon seeing him,
it seemed Sun Wukong wasn’t afraid of death at all, and he was even willing to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation so openly.
What should they do?
After all, Sun Wukong had reached the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal Demon King.
In the context of the Primordial Continent, such realm naturally didn’t count for much.
But now, after surviving several Calamities of Measurement, nearly all the top powers of the Three Realms had died or been injured.
In the current Three Realms, a Taiyi Golden Immortal was already considered a master in his own right.
With such a cultivation level, he now seemed to lack any temper at all.
Even an ordinary person had more spirit than him.
“What are you standing around for, hurry up and follow them!”
Seeing Sun Wukong showing no sign of resistance, King Qin Guang also became anxious; if Sun Wukong really jumped directly into the Hell Path,
not only would he be unable to give an account of himself but he would probably have to follow Sun Wukong into the Hell Path.
After all, Sun Wukong was involved in Buddhism’s Journey to the West, a matter crucial for the flourishing of Buddhism.
If anything went wrong on his watch,
not even the Jade Emperor could save him!
“I’m going, right away!”
The Judge was aware that if even Lord Yama couldn’t keep him safe, he probably would be buried with him, the situation was too grave.
Without any hesitation, the judge transformed into a stream of wraith-like qi, hurtling directly toward the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation are the core of the Underworld.
If there were millions of ways to go to the Ten Yama Kings, then there were countless more leading to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
“Snap!”
“Snap!”
Fierce ghosts with terrifying faces appeared on these paths, and some Underworld Envoys holding whips lashed at these tormented spirits.
The sound of snapping echoed through the air.
Along with the agonized screams of the fierce ghosts.
Countless fierce ghosts, under such driving, went to drink Meng Po’s Soup and then leapt into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Gut-wrenching cries kept ringing in Sun Wukong’s ears.
Sun Wukong followed the trail of these tortured souls, accompanied by Black and White Impermanence.
Compared to the other ghosts who were beaten and howling miserably, Sun Wukong moved forward slowly like nothing was wrong, following the ghosts in front of him.
After all, the other fierce ghosts were being driven because they did not wish to be reincarnated, whereas Wukong didn’t care about reincarnation at all, so naturally, Black and White Impermanence had no reason to hurry him.
Of course, another reason was that Wukong’s cultivation level was so powerful that even they did not dare to mess with him.
Ahead, countless mists billowed, and as the ghosts walked through the mist, they vanished from sight.
“Once we pass through the mist ahead, the Fork Road is the Six Paths of Reincarnation!”
“Great King, do you truly have no regrets?”
Seeing the mist ahead, Black and White Impermanence started to have their doubts.
After all, Sun Wukong wasn’t supposed to end like this.
Otherwise, they would not be so conflicted.
However, it seemed that Sun Wukong had already made up his mind.
“Regret?
No, life and death, the cycles of rebirth, are the decrees of Heaven.
Since my name, Old Sun, is on the Book of Life and Death, this is what Heaven has ordained.
Today, Old Sun is destined to fall here!”
Sun Wukong shook his head, showing an unwavering determination on his face.
Anyway, it’s just a monkey fur avatar—if it reincarnates, then it reincarnates.
It would also spare him any future trouble from the Underworld.
Once the monkey fur avatar has reincarnated, Sun Wukong himself would have completely escaped this calamity, and he was eager for it to be over.
“The Great King truly complies with the will of Heaven.
Although we are merely Underworld Envoys, accustomed to life and death, having sent away countless wandering souls and wild ghosts for rebirth, we have never seen anyone as open-minded as the Great King!”
White Impermanence exclaimed with emotion.
Then White Impermanence changed the subject, “With your cultivation level, Great King, it would be such a pity to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
If you’re willing, although we hold low positions, we can still plead on your behalf to the judge for a reprieve.
Perhaps the judge might be persuaded to change his ruling!”
Hearing White Impermanence’s words, Black Impermanence nodded and said, “Indeed, it would be such a waste for someone as open-minded as you, Great King, to enter the Hell Path.
If you have any regrets, we can plead for mercy on your behalf.
It might be possible!”
They were not saying this because Yama had promised something regarding the Western Direction; after all, their stature was not high enough to be involved in that layer of decision-making.
Their offer was mainly because it was the first time they had seen a being so open-minded about fate.
At the same time, they were also reminded by the judge, hoping they could persuade Sun Wukong.
They were taken aback, not having expected that neither the judge nor Yama wanted to send Sun Wukong into reincarnation.
But after all they had said, if Sun Wukong still refused to agree and insisted on reincarnating, they truly had no other options.
“Life and death are destined, and Heavenly Dao has already made its judgment.
Although Old Sun has a not-so-shallow cultivation level, I understand that the will of Heaven cannot be defied.
Just send Old Sun into reincarnation!”
Sun Wukong’s words remained resolute and full of righteousness, impervious to persuasion.
Black and White Impermanence were helpless.
They had no choice; if it were any other fierce ghost or wronged spirit, they would probably have been overwhelmed by their proposal.
Who would want to give up everything in this life?
But now Sun Wukong had made up his mind to give up all of this lifetime’s belongings.
What could they do as Underworld Envoys?
They had tried their best!
