Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 445 - Celestial Fox Staff (Second Release!)
Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Celestial Fox Staff (Second Release!)
The Jade Emperor was in the inner palace of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, grinding his teeth in suppressed anger. Ever since the Demon Monkey, Sun Wukong, came into the world, the anger he had felt surpassed the sum of hundreds of thousands of years past.
“Is this monkey sent by the heavens to specifically disgust me? Why does his shadow appear everywhere?”
The Jade Emperor had naturally seen the proclamation jade slip that the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe spread throughout the world. Indeed, the ones who faced the most criticism were the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the Guiding Daoist, which is to say the Ancestral Buddha of the Buddhist Sect, but the Heavenly Court was also within the range of criticism. This was because the majority of the divine positions in the Heavenly Court were sealed by Jiang Shang, also known as Jiang Ziya, and moreover, the Heavenly Court was the one that had made the decision regarding the fate of the Celestial Fox woman Bai Mei, having forced the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe to drive Bai Mei out of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, this old matter was being dug up again, and in such a barefaced manner!
Without thinking, it had to be that Demon Monkey, Sun Wukong, stirring things up behind the scenes, or else why would the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe let someone like Leng Xuan, who had never stayed in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom since he was young, succeed to the position of Fox Emperor?
“Sun Wukong, you demon monkey! You and I are irreconcilable enemies!”
...
Clenching the jade cup in his hand until it shattered, the Jade Emperor growled in frustration, while the serving maids and guards beside him did not even dare to breathe too loudly, afraid of becoming the target of his frustration.
Whoosh!
A streak of green light flew into the bedchamber from outside. The Jade Emperor’s expression changed slightly, and with a swift movement, he caught it in his hand. Somewhat perplexed, he sank his Divine Sense into it to check and then, the furious look on his face suddenly vanished without a trace, replaced by a sinister smile, “Sun Wukong, your good days are over! This time, I want to see how you’re going to keep jumping around!”
“Summon someone! Go to the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain and invite the Tathagata Buddha to come. Tell him that I have urgent matters to discuss with him and the Primordial Heavenly Venerate!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
A guard took the order and left, leaving only the sound of the Jade Emperor’s triumphant laughter echoing through the chamber…
In the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, within the cave dwelling of the Demon Master Kunpeng.
“The opportunity to form an alliance with Flower-Fruit Mountain has arrived!”
Demon Master Kunpeng, looking at the invited Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen, the Demon God Bai Ze, and the Great Witch Jiu Feng, spoke in a serious tone.
“Kunpeng, are you talking about this secret of the Divine Enthronement Battle that the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe has spread to the world? How is this an opportunity?”
Great Witch Jiu Feng frowned slightly, not understanding Demon Master Kunpeng’s meaning. Hadn’t he said they should wait for a chance to provide timely help in a desperate situation? Going to form an alliance with Flower-Fruit Mountain now was adding flowers atop brocade, not sending coal in snowy weather!
“Don’t you understand?”
Demon Master Kunpeng glanced at the three individuals, a crafty look appearing at the corner of his mouth, “Both Heavenly Court and the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect have been coveting Flower-Fruit Mountain for a long time. The incident that Sun Wukong stirred up this time with the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe has effectively ignited the fuse. I can guarantee that the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Tathagata Buddha will definitely not continue to endure. They are probably already discussing how to deal with Sun Wukong and Flower-Fruit Mountain. Isn’t this a good opportunity?”
“Are you saying that the Primordial Heavenly Venerate will take action?”
Demon God Bai Ze’s eyebrows knitted tightly. The Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the Tathagata Buddha were different. As one of the Three Purities and a seasoned powerhouse, his strength was only higher, not lower, than that of the Tathagata Buddha. Moreover, everyone knew that the Primordial Heavenly was arrogant, cruel, yet also wise and cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gained so many advantages for the Chan Sect during the Divine Enthronement Battle.
Although the Heavenly Court has been thoroughly rising in these years, with Primordial Heavenly Venerable retiring within the Jade Clear Sky Miro Palace, Demon God Bai Ze has received news that Primordial Heavenly Venerable has continued plotting in the dark, intending to make the Chan Sect rise once again, to replace other Mysterious Sects and become the only authentic Mysterious Sect of the Three Realms. If even he can’t help but make a move against Sun Wukong, then Sun Wukong is truly in danger!
“That old coot is definitely going to make a move!”
Demon Master Kunpeng nodded firmly, “In this proclamation from the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe, beside Tathagata Buddha, who is most affected, is Primordial Heavenly Venerable. It is rumored that Tathagata Buddha has already fallen, but Primordial Heavenly Venerable is still very much alive. All the skepticism and mockery will definitely fall on the head of Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Given his proud nature, do you think he will be able to tolerate it?”
“He will not tolerate it!”
Demon God Bai Ze, Great Witch Jiu Feng, and Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen exchanged glances and then shook their heads.
“That’s why I say, that kid Wukong is definitely in for some major trouble! This is our best opportunity! If we help him when he’s in a tough spot, forming an alliance with Flower-Fruit Mountain just naturally follows.”
Demon Master Kunpeng looked confident, “I estimate it won’t take long before Heavenly Court makes the first move, though I don’t know what action the Jade Emperor will take. I think he will mostly try to lure Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court!”
“Lured to Heavenly Court? That’s unlikely, isn’t it? Brother Wukong isn’t that foolish. He knows that going to the Heavenly Court is full of dangers and wouldn’t walk into a trap. At Flower-Fruit Mountain, even Primordial Heavenly Venerable would not be able to do anything to him. That old man wouldn’t dare to defy the decree of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and run wild at Flower-Fruit Mountain!”

Mosquito Daoist Luo Wen raised an eyebrow.
“That’s uncertain!”
Demon Master Kunpeng shook his head, “If it were me, I would try every means to lure Sun Wukong into Heavenly Court and make a move! But it’s still unknown what measures the Jade Emperor and Buddha will take?”
At this moment, Sun Wukong, who was in Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, had no idea that the proclamation jade slip issued by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe to the Three Realms had caused such a great disturbance that even Primordial Heavenly Venerable had been moved to action!
At this moment, Sun Wukong, together with Leng Xuan, was heading to the treasure site of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe, Fox Qi Mountain.
Fox Qi Mountain, located at the very center of the Green Hills Country, looked from the outside like a reclining fox baying at the sky, with the tail part being a high cliff in a triangular shape with Star Moon Lake and the Peach Forest stretching ten miles, Great Elder Bai Wushuang was taking Leng Xuan there to retrieve the Celestial Fox Staff, and also to select any other convenient Magical Treasures.
“Great Saint, please!”
Upon entering the Treasure Vault nestled within the belly of Fox Qi Mountain, Sun Wukong’s eyes widened, for the treasures of the Nine-Tailed Fox Tribe were simply too abundant!
All kinds of Magical Treasures of various ranks, all kinds of Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts, all kinds of one-time use prohibited devices, dazzling to behold and carelessly piled up within the Treasure Vault.
“Great Saint, the Celestial Fox Staff is in the deepest part, please follow me!”
Great Elder Bai Wushuang gestured invitingly, and Sun Wukong and Leng Xuan followed him deeper into the vault, where from a distance they could see a snow-white divine staff floating in midair, only topped with a single green gem. Several bands of light surged from all directions, fixing the staff in midair.
“That is the Celestial Fox Staff; it requires the Emperor to stimulate it with the power of his bloodline to take it out.”
Great Elder Bai Wushuang said, then looked at Sun Wukong and added, “Great Saint, if you see any treasure that catches your eye, feel free to choose!”
