Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 897 - 898: Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s Decision (Second Update!)
Once the wanted notice was issued, the entire Heavenly Demon City went into a frenzy.
The allure of a low-grade Heavenly cultivation technique coupled with the membership in the Heavenly Demon Guard was just too great for the Demon Clan of Heavenly Demon City!
Possessing a low-grade Heavenly cultivation technique was enough to elevate a middle demon, originally only capable of reaching the Domain Marshal Realm, directly to the Domain King, or even to the Domain Emperor Realm, truly stepping into the ranks of a great demon!
As for being a member of the Heavenly Demon Guard, it was considered a supreme honor for the demons of Heavenly Demon City, and the benefits were no less than obtaining a low-grade Heavenly cultivation technique!
Everyone began to search everywhere for Sun Wukong’s whereabouts, completely forgetting the scene where Sun Wukong had previously overpowered and killed the four formidable generals under the Heavenly Prince, thrashing him twice, hurling him to the ground and seriously injuring him. Some low-level demons, even at the level of Yuan King and Yuan Emperor, didn’t think it through—could they really find a hiding Sun Wukong?
Even if they were lucky enough to find him, with their cultivation strength, could they escape to report the news?
Truly, people die for wealth, birds die for food!
By chance, these demons were lucky, as Sun Wukong was currently on the Heavenly Soldier Platform of the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, cultivating and absorbing the medicinal energy of the Longevity Essence, unaware that so many demons were eagerly pursuing his whereabouts outside.
The Primordial Qi energy contained in the Longevity Essence was incredibly abundant and exceptionally pure. Sun Wukong didn’t even need to convert it, but directly ran it through his body according to the cultivation path of the Chaos Decision, continuously generating strands of Chaos Primordial Qi, merging into his bloodline and bones.
In the Three Realms, body refining and Qi refining were separate; those with profound Taoist techniques did not necessarily have strong physical bodies, which is why corresponding body refining techniques appeared to make up for the physical body’s deficiencies. But after reaching the Yuan Realm, Sun Wukong found that in the Yuan Realm, the physical body and mana were completely integrated.
The stronger the physical body, the more Primordial Force it could contain, and the greater destructive power it could unleash. All strong individuals of the Yuan Realm could only break through after their physical body and Primordial Spirit power reached a critical point. After entering the Domain Soldier Realm, one must comprehend the Heavenly Dao Laws to an appropriate level to break through to the next level.
Newly ascended strong individuals from the Three Realms might not easily adapt to this, but Sun Wukong had no discomfort because he had become a Chaos Saint by proving Tao with strength after Slaying Three Corpses, flying to the Yuan Realm, perfectly aligning with this kind of cultivation advancement mode. The energy in his body would first be used to enhance both the physical body and Primordial Spirit strength, advancing simultaneously, and much stronger than those in the same realm.
"Wukong, this young lad, is his body a bottomless pit? Even after absorbing so much strength, he hasn’t reached the critical point yet!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor had been observing Sun Wukong. From the energy fluctuations on him, if it were any other strong individual in the Domain Soldier Realm, they would have long since broken through, possibly even advancing two levels consecutively, yet Sun Wukong showed no sign of movement, still continuously absorbing energy.
"Ancestor, I feel Wukong’s physique is much stronger than my Heavenly Demon Body!"
The stronger the physique, the greater the physical body strength, Primordial Spirit strength, and the amount of Primordial Force that can be accommodated under the same realm, and the stronger the combat power. But similarly, the difficulty of breaking through will increase. For Goddess Nuwa, for example, her cultivation advancement is slower than strong individuals of the same level, but also much stronger than them!
The body of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was condensed by the Heavenly Dao, belonging to the Heavenly Dao Body, a notch above the Heavenly Demon Body. Its Primordial Spirit power was stronger than the physical body and not weaker than the Chaos Body, but even so, it still couldn’t match Sun Wukong’s Chaos Battle Body.
"Indeed, it’s much stronger, even surpassing the Chaos Body. Could it be... this youngster actually possesses the Chaos Battle Body?"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s pupils suddenly contracted, recalling the classification of Divine Bodies in the Yuan Realm, where one of the rarest types is the Chaos Battle Body, which surpasses all Divine Bodies, and can only be rivaled by the legendary Heaven’s Dao Body, which would be the Divine Body if Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s Heavenly Dao Body advanced another level.
Both the Chaos Battle Body and the Heaven’s Dao Body are exceedingly rare, appearing only once in a million years, and yet Sun Wukong got one!
"Nuwa, this child has a great destiny, his future achievements are limitless! He must not fall into the hands of the Right Envoy Kun Du of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, no matter the cost, he must be protected!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s expression changed, filled with solemnity, knowing that Sun Wukong’s possession of the supreme Chaos Battle Body meant that, barring any untimely demise, he would certainly reach the pinnacle in the future. This would have an immeasurable effect on the development of the Three Realms and even the future of the entire Yuan Realm. From every perspective, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor must protect Sun Wukong!
"Strengthen the barrier, activate the Sealing Formation Method, and seal off the entire Heavenly Artifact Alliance!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor seemed to have made an important decision, gritting his teeth and speaking solemnly.
"Activate the Sealing Formation Method? Ancestor, this is the strongest Defensive Array of the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, and can only be activated once a century. Even as Elders, we don’t have the authority to activate it willy-nilly, right? If the Alliance pursues this matter afterward…"
Goddess Nuwa was a bit surprised, not expecting Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor to make such a decision!
"There’s no time to worry about that!"
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor pointed towards Sun Wukong and said, "Look at Wukong; if he absorbs enough strength to break through, the commotion will be huge. Do you think the Right Envoy Kun Du won’t sense it? If we don’t activate the Sealing Formation Method, we absolutely cannot stop him! If he charges into the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, what will happen to Wukong?"
"..."
Goddess Nuwa was silent; what Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor said was not alarmist talk; if Sun Wukong breaks through, it’s almost certain that Right Envoy Kun Du will sense it!
Usually, the Heavenly Artifact Alliance held a transcendent status in Heavenly Demon City; the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan never troubled the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, but now things were different. Sun Wukong had caused chaos in Heavenly Demon City, eliminated many strong individuals of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, severely injured the Heavenly Prince, toyed with Right Envoy Kun Du, and even plundered the Demon Mansion. All these things added up, and Right Envoy Kun Du must hate Sun Wukong!
If Sun Wukong was discovered within the Heavenly Artifact Alliance, would they still be as polite as before?
"Alright, I’ll listen to the Daoist Ancestor, I’ll go notify the others now. The Heavenly Artifact Alliance is to be sealed off, no one is allowed to leave!"
After a brief hesitation, Goddess Nuwa quickly made up her mind, deciding that even if they were to be expelled from the Alliance after an autumn settling of accounts, they must ensure Sun Wukong’s safety!
