Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 895 - 896 Heavenly Soldier Platform (Third Update!)

With a flash of movement, Sun Wukong left the mansion of the Heavenly Demon City at the fastest speed, heading toward the city gate.

"Sun Wukong!"

Before reaching the city gate, suddenly a voice called out from the ground, startling Sun Wukong. Had his whereabouts been exposed?

Who could have discovered him?

Swish!

Sun Wukong stopped his Earth Escape and emerged from the ground, finding a man and a woman standing before him. It was the man who had called out to him.

"Who are you, and why do you call on me?"

Sun Wukong looked at the two with a wary expression and asked in a deep voice.

"It really is this lad, Nuwa, your intuition was indeed correct!"

The man was actually the Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, who chuckled upon hearing this and lightly laughed at the Goddess Nuwa beside him.

As it happened, Sun Wukong’s escape route had passed directly beneath the feet of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun and Goddess Nuwa. Sensing something, Goddess Nuwa mentioned it to Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, who then transmitted a sound through the ground, unexpectedly calling Sun Wukong out.

"Nuwa?"

Sun Wukong’s eyes widened, "You are the Goddess Nuwa? Then you must be Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun?"

"Oh? This lad has heard of us!"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun gave Sun Wukong another surprised look, then smiled freely, "I forgot you are from the Three Realms, so it’s normal for you to know us. But since you can call our names, you should know your relationship with Nuwa, right?"

"I know, of course I know!"

Sun Wukong’s eyes reddened with excitement and trepidation, his lips trembling as he softly called out to Goddess Nuwa, "Mother?"

"Good child! Feeling shy now, are we? Come over and let Mother have a look!"

Goddess Nuwa’s face lit up with a gentle maternal glow, extending her hands towards Sun Wukong. Unable to hold back, Sun Wukong knelt before Goddess Nuwa and buried his head in her embrace, feeling an overwhelming warmth in that moment!

"Mm~!"

The warm scene didn’t last long, as Sun Wukong soon let out a muffled groan, the power within him beginning to stir; it was the power of the Longevity Essence, which he could no longer suppress as it was about to erupt!

"Not good! This lad’s about to break through! Why at this time?"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s expression changed. Sun Wukong chose no better time than to break through now, and it seemed uncontrollable. This was within the Heavenly Demon City, and causing a commotion would surely attract the strong of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, complicating matters!

"Nuwa, take him to the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, and hurry!"

There was no time to get Sun Wukong out of the city. Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun quickly decided, urgently instructing Goddess Nuwa, and together they took and dragged Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Artifact Alliance.

The Heavenly Artifact Alliance’s base was located at the northeast corner of Heavenly Demon City, exactly opposite the direction of the mansion.

Despite having joined the Heavenly Artifact Alliance not long ago, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun and Goddess Nuwa were already elders due to their exceptional alchemy and artifact refining skills. Therefore, the other members of the alliance did not dare to ask questions when they saw the two bringing someone back.

"Take him to the Heavenly Soldier Platform!"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun and Goddess Nuwa did not return to their room but instead brought Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Soldier Platform, where high-grade Divine Weapons were refined, and only elders could enter. Conveniently, the only elders present were Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun and Goddess Nuwa, meaning no one else could enter without their permission!

After entering the Heavenly Soldier Platform and placing Sun Wukong in the center, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun activated a barrier, enveloping the entire platform. This barrier was typically only activated during alchemy or artifact refining to isolate the platform from the outside world, thereby concealing most of the immense primordial qi fluctuations caused by successful refining.

Sun Wukong’s power fluctuations, although suppressed with great effort, were clearly unusual. As someone of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s caliber, he immediately saw that the disturbance when Sun Wukong broke through wouldn’t dissipate. The Heavenly Soldier Platform was indeed the most suitable place.

"Dao Ancestor, what should we do next? Wukong’s situation — nothing bad will happen, right?"

Goddess Nuwa looked at Sun Wukong sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Soldier Platform, surrounded by vigor energy, his face alternating between red and purple, and asked with some concern.

"No problem. This is due to the excess power in his body. He’s facing some resistance in absorbing it, hence the alternating red and purple color. Once he fully absorbs this power, he’ll break through his cultivation."

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun smiled, "This lad, who knows where he found such precious materials containing this much primordial force. Once fully absorbed, his cultivation will certainly rise another level, reaching the Domain General Realm!"

"That’s good news! Wukong, at just the Domain Soldier Realm, has already defeated the Heavenly Prince of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, who is at the Domain King Realm. If he reaches the Domain General Realm, he’ll surely grow stronger. Perhaps he could even face off with Right Envoy Kun Du!"

Goddess Nuwa’s eyes lit up. All mothers see their children as the best, and Goddess Nuwa was no exception.

"Face off with Right Envoy Kun Du? Nuwa, you underestimate the power of a Domain Emperor!"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun chuckled, "A Domain Emperor can begin controlling the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Yuan Realm. You should understand the difference between comprehending and controlling the Heavenly Dao Laws, right?"

"Dao Ancestor, I misspoke."

Goddess Nuwa furrowed her brows and sighed, naturally aware of the gap between comprehending and controlling the Heavenly Dao Laws, much like the difference between a Quasi-Saint and a Heavenly Dao Saint in the Three Realms.

"Alright, let’s watch calmly. This lad might not have an easy time breaking through safely. Let’s hope Right Envoy Kun Du doesn’t notice too soon!"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun sighed lightly, looking up towards the heavens, hoping the Battle God Ape Clan could delay Right Envoy Kun Du a bit longer. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to hide this from a Domain Emperor!

...

In the Tiandou Great Forest.

"Boom!"

Divine General Yuan Long and Right Envoy Kun Du had already exchanged hundreds of moves, yet the outcome was still undecided. Both were holding back, not unleashing their full power, knowing from past encounters that full strength would be necessary to determine a victor. But unleashing full power might lead to the destruction of the entire Tiandou Great Forest!

There is a prohibition in the Demon Realm: for any reason, one must not destroy the Tiandou Great Forest. Otherwise, the entire Demon Clan would jointly condemn them!
