Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 486 - : The Heavenly Dao Illusion Reappears (11th Update!)
Chapter 486: Chapter 486: The Heavenly Dao Illusion Reappears (11th Update!)
“Brother Monkey!”
“Wukong!”
Luo Bai flew down from the Heavenly Ladder, and Nezha along with Erlang God Yang Jian also flew joyfully to Sun Wukong’s side. The three of them looked him up and down, their eyes filled with incredulous ecstasy.
“Brother Monkey, you’re alive, that’s wonderful!”
Luo Bai, the most excited, hugged Sun Wukong tightly, squeezing him firmly and swaying him vigorously.
“Hey, hey, hey, stop shaking me! If you keep this up, you’ll shake Old Sun into a daze!”
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes but a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
“Wukong, you really scared us just now; we thought you were dead!”

As Nezha spoke, he punched Sun Wukong lightly in the chest, and Erlang God Yang Jian also reached out to tap Wukong, displaying a face full of relief.
“Old Sun indeed died once!”
Sun Wukong shrugged, “But I have a native spiritual treasure on me that can count for one life, so I was revived. Honestly, if I hadn’t died once, I would have almost forgotten about this treasure!”
“What kind of treasure is that miraculous?”
Luo Bai and the others widened their eyes. Although they were world-wise, they had never heard of an item that could revive someone from the dead, especially in a case like Sun Wukong’s where both body and spirit were obliterated, only to recondense and resurrect. Being as Sun Wukong was a Quasi-Saint of the realm of Slaying Two Corpses and a rare genius seen once in endless years, the energy required to resurrect such a genius must be immense!
Perhaps even Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor wouldn’t be able to do it, right?
“The Time-Space Life-Death Talisman! It’s what we obtained in The Borderlands. It’s a one-time use item. Back then, Old Sun didn’t think it was of much use, so I just kept it inside me and didn’t bother with it. Little did I expect that it would save Old Sun’s life this time!”
Sun Wukong half truthfully explained. He naturally couldn’t divulge the real origin of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman to Luo Bai and the rest, so he claimed it was obtained from The Borderlands. After all, Luo Bai clearly knew that The Borderlands were a birthing ground for various treasures, and it was the easiest way to make them believe.
As for whether the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman had another chance to revive the dead, Sun Wukong also didn’t tell the truth. Although it was just a conversation among a few of them, if beings such as Primordial Heavenly Venerable wished to listen, they would definitely be able to eavesdrop. It was crucial not to let them know that the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman still had the ability to revive someone, as regardless of their capability to control it, they would definitely find ways to seize it from him.
In this world, there weren’t many treasures that could entice a peerless powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Saint realm, but whenever one appeared and was within their means, they would undoubtedly do everything possible to get their hands on it, of which Sun Wukong had not the slightest doubt!
“Time-Space Life-Death Talisman? To think such an artifact exists! Pity it’s a consumable item!”
As Sun Wukong had anticipated, their conversation was clearly overheard by Tathagata Buddha nearby. Initially intent on killing, Tathagata Buddha had planned to annihilate Nezha and Erlang God Yang Jian along with all the strong ones from Flower-Fruit Mountain. He hadn’t expected Sun Wukong, believed to be obliterated, to have come back to life, not only revived but also restored to his peak condition. Soon after, the Leader of Tongtian appeared and blocked Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
The events had unfolded too swiftly, causing Tathagata Buddha to start doubting. Judging by Sun Wukong’s appearance and words, which seemed genuine, an artifact that could revive the dead was indeed defying the heavens. Its being a one-time consumable made sense too. As for the Chaos Divine Pearl, while remarkable, it likely couldn’t achieve this effect.
Now that Sun Wukong had returned to his peak state, and Tathagata Buddha himself was significantly weakened by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, the balance of power had shifted, making it seemingly difficult to subdue Sun Wukong. Tathagata Buddha weighed whether or not he should continue the attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous sounds suddenly resonated in the sky above, heavenly light descended from the sky, targeting both the Heavenly Palace and the direction of Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain, as two massive silhouettes, one east and one west, simultaneously soared, completely covering the firmament.
Heavenly Dao silhouettes, the sign of attaining sainthood!
Someone else had proven the Tao and became a saint!
“It’s Ran Deng Buddha and Donghua Emperor!”
Ran Deng Buddha, second only to Tathagata Buddha in the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect, had also partaken in some of the merit force when Tathagata Buddha had usurped the Buddhist foundation and merit from Amitabha Buddha. Originally, it was thought this would enable him to become a saint, but it only brought him to the Half-Step Saint Realm.
Over the years, Ran Deng Buddha had accumulated considerable merit and amassed a vast amount of faith power, yet bound by the limitations of Heavenly Dao’s saintly position, he had been unable to become a saint. During a great battle at Flower-Fruit Mountain with Sun Wukong, he even threw away the Sword of Slaying Immortal, significantly diminishing his power, thus drastically falling in status within the Buddhist Sect.
This time, when luring Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Palace for an ambush, Ran Deng Buddha had wanted to get involved and take his revenge on Sun Wukong but decided against it after much consideration, choosing instead to continue cultivating in retreat at Spiritual Mountain. He caught up with the onset of the Third Immense Calamity and seized the opportunity to become a saint in one fell swoop.
Although only a Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint, this was akin to a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate. The Saint Realm is that very Dragon Gate; stepping through it multiplies one’s worth a hundredfold, with power incomparably transformed!
As for Donghua Emperor, already the mightiest in the Heavenly Court aside from the saints, his talent alone should have granted him sainthood long ago. However, he had lacked the right opportunity until now when the Third Immense Calamity descended and the saintly position of Heavenly Dao opened up, allowing Donghua Emperor to naturally breakthrough. His power now even surpassed that of Ran Deng Buddha and was almost on par with Tathagata Buddha!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The silhouettes of sainthood lingered only briefly in the sky before vanishing. Being of the same Heavenly Dao Saint class, there was still some disparity among them, like the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Leader of Tongtian, who were all venerable Heavenly Dao Saints born from Chaos before the immense calamities, akin in origin to the Great God Pangu, belonging to the Innate saints.
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was a Slaying Three Corpses Merit Saint, whereas Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Leader of Tongtian were both Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saints. Their power was not static but could be enhanced through continued cultivation. For instance, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had previously been a Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint and had now advanced to a Slaying Three Corpses Merit Saint; the next step would be the Union of Three Corpses into the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal, while Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Leader of Tongtian had also advanced from Slaying One Corpse Merit Saints to Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saints.
