Chapter 555 -555: On the Banks of the Quicksand River (First Update!)
The return of the Myriad Races marked the beginning of the Great Era of Contention; for Flower-Fruit Mountain, this was a golden opportunity, but at the same time, a tremendous challenge.
Flower-Fruit Mountain was in a period of rapid development. If Sun Wukong wanted to seize this chance to reestablish the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, he had to take advantage of the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures and obtain ample merit and destiny.
Once the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures was successful, the Heavenly Dao would undoubtedly bestow a vast amount of merit and destiny. This, Sun Wukong and the others had anticipated, and so too had the returning Myriad Races; when the time came, probably everyone would want to meddle and claim their share of the spoils!
“When the enemy brings the battle, we’ll meet them head-on; when floods come, we’ll build barriers! Whoever dares to interfere, we’ll break his hands!”
The Six-Eared Macaque’s face showed a fierce ruthlessness. Over these years of seclusion and practice, everyone in Flower-Fruit Mountain had made great progress. Not only had Sun Wukong reached the Half-Step Saint Realm, but the Six-Eared Macaque, Bull Demon King, Erlang God Yang Jian, Nezha, and Luo Bai had also successively attained the Half-Step Saint Realm. Among them, Luo Bai had the highest cultivation, only a step away from Proving the Tao and Becoming a Saint. Like Sun Wukong, all he needed was enough merit and destiny to break into the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm!
The improvement in cultivation brought with it a surge in self-confidence. Now, Flower-Fruit Mountain was like a sharp sword once sheathed for many years that had accumulated enough strength; once drawn, its edge so powerful, it could split the heavens and earth and recreate the cosmos!
“Right, I, Old Bull, want to see which blind fool dares to come and stick a finger in our business. They won’t be able to walk away unscathed!”
“Exactly, whoever dares to make trouble, we’ll put an end to them!”
All of the Flower-Fruit Mountain’s senior figures were brimming with murderous intent, exuding an unmatched aura of dominance; Flower-Fruit Mountain no longer needed to lie low!
“Those who dare to interfere will undoubtedly be the cream of the crop among the Myriad Races, they must not be underestimated!”
Sun Wukong naturally felt gratified by everyone’s domineering spirit, but he also remained cool-headed. Confidence was one thing; overconfidence, leading to underestimating others, was quite another and could lead to unbearable failure. The more critical the moment, the more cautious and meticulous they had to be, allowing no room for error!
“The Demonic Realm should be the first of the races to return to the Three Realms. We need not worry about the others, but we must concern ourselves with Demon Ancestor Luo Hu! So many years have passed, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu has probably fully adapted to his new physical body, and it’s unknown to what extent his cultivation has recovered. But it certainly won’t be weaker than the Three Purities! If we faced him head-on, it’s unlikely we could win!”
Sun Wukong’s words made everyone’s heart tighten, and their hot-headedness cooled somewhat. He was right; back in his day, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was a figure who could compete with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. If Luo Hu had regained his past cultivation strength, among those present from Flower-Fruit Mountain, probably no one could contend with him—not even Sun Wukong, alongside the Puti Patriarch, might fall short by a narrow margin.
“I think Demon Ancestor Luo Hu probably won’t take action personally!”
Leng Xuan shook his head, “The Demonic Realm probably hasn’t completely returned yet; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent just a few scouts to gather information. Besides, if Demon Ancestor Luo Hu wanted Tang Seng, why didn’t he take action himself, instead of having his subordinates do it?”
Right!
With those words from Leng Xuan, everyone suddenly understood and pondered. Leng Xuan was correct; if Demon Ancestor Luo Hu could act on his own, considering his nature, he wouldn’t have cared about status or face and would have already captured Jiang Liu’er!
Since there hasn’t been any news of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu in the Three Realms up to now, it must mean he hasn’t appeared in the Three Realms yet!
“It’s likely that the pathway between the Two Realms isn’t fully connected yet, or the passage isn’t stable enough. Demon Ancestor Luo Hu’s cultivation strength is too high. The spatial channel can’t withstand his strength, that’s why he can’t come to the Three Realms, and has to let his Demon Generals do the work instead.”
Sun Wukong stroked his chin and speculated, then clenched his fist and stood up, “No matter what, the return of the Myriad Races is already set in stone, it’s just a matter of sooner or later! Time is running short, we must prepare early. Before the return of the Myriad Races, we have to thoroughly solidify the forces of Flower-Fruit Mountain. By then, even if it’s a hundred boats competing on the river, our Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult will certainly be above all others!”
“Above all others, above all others!”
The rallying cries echoed repeatedly throughout Water Curtain Cave Heaven. A dazzling gleam flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes. No matter what, he was determined to claim the merit and destiny of this Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures!
In the Demonic Realm, on Demon God Island, within the palace of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu.
“Did Sun Wukong really say that?”
Upon hearing the report from Shadow Demon Jue Ying, the corners of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu’s eyes narrowed slightly. In his life, he had never bowed to threats from anyone, not even the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor could make him yield. This little monkey Sun Wukong, he truly has some nerve, daring to threaten him!
If it weren’t for the fact that the channel between the Two Realms was still unstable, unable to withstand his physical body passing through, Demon Ancestor Lou Hu really wanted to go to Flower-Fruit Mountain and teach Sun Wukong a lesson. But now, such thoughts could only circle in his mind.
“That monkey has always been clever. He places such importance on the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures. It seems he wants to carve out some benefits for himself, perhaps even more than just some…”
A cunning light flashed in Demon Ancestor Lou Hu’s eyes, and he suddenly broke into a wicked smile, “You brat, do you think I wouldn’t get involved just because you want me to stay out of it? Wouldn’t that be too embarrassing! Just wait and see, I will make you come to this Demon God Palace to beg me personally!”
Looking up, Demon Ancestor Lou Hu commanded Shadow Demon Jue Ying in a deep voice, “Notify the Demon Race spies within the Three Realms, to act with all their might. No matter what method they use, they must capture that Tang Seng for me. I want to personally taste what this monk, a paragon of virtue for ten lifetimes, is really made of!”
“As you command!”
Shadow Demon Jue Ying answered decisively, a resolute look flashed in his eyes before he rose and left the hall.
“Sun Wukong, I really want to see how you, this monkey, will deal with these challenges I’ve set up for you, heh heh!”
The malicious laughter of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu echoed in the hall, lingering for a long time…
…
Half a month later, on the banks of the Quicksand River.

“Great Saint, that River Demon just hides at the bottom of the Quicksand River and won’t come out. I really can’t handle him. Without getting rid of him, there’s no way we can cross this Quicksand River!”
Yuan Hong complained to Sun Wukong in a remote, uninhabited place. After encountering Shadow Demon Jue Ying at Eagle Sorrow Valley, Sun Wukong and the high-ranking members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult had a discussion. They decided to monitor Jiang Liu’er and the others’ Scripture Seeking at all times. Sun Wukong, having nothing else to do anyway, simply turned invisible and followed along. After all, with his current Cultivation Realm, mere cultivation was of no great use anymore.
Now, obtaining the merit and destiny from the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures was the most important thing, something that absolutely could not be neglected!
