Great Demon Sun Wukong

After this little interlude, Sun Wukong pulled out a peach and began to eat it as well. By now, night had fallen, and it was so dark one could hardly see their own hand in front of their face. Sun Wukong had no choice but to keep using his fiery eyes and golden pupils; otherwise, he would have been practically blind in the darkness.

Speaking of which, Sun Wukong felt quite regretful about his fiery eyes and golden pupils, because even though his soul energy had surged to the level of Six Patterns, there wasn’t the slightest sign of Evolution in them. It seemed that the only way to continue Cultivating his fiery eyes and golden pupils was to figure out a way to resurrect himself and reform his flesh body.

"Xi Zhao, do you know if, after passing all the tests, one will receive a new body and be able to be reborn in the end?"

Xi Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Legend has it that’s the case, but I don’t know if it’s true. However, whether it’s true or not, we both have to try."

"Indeed, otherwise we really have no hope. I just hope that the body I get will be powerful; my original body was a Five Elements Chaotic Body."

"Tell me about it, my original body was a Destruction Divine Body. If after resurrection I ended up with a trash body, that would truly be worse than death." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"By the way, Xi Zhao, who were you originally? I feel like you must have a very long story too! And isn’t it said that those who possess the World Suppressing Stele are always Domain Lords of the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms? Weren’t you a Domain Lord? Could it be you were the Domain Lord of the Dominion of Soil and had your Heavenly Stele stolen, and then ended up being killed by someone?"

"Why so many questions? Haven’t I told you? My original World Suppressing Stele was Destruction Number One; how could I possibly be the Domain Lord of the Dominion of Soil. If that were true, I would have seized your stele long ago. Anyway, let’s not talk about the past. When you become strong enough, you’ll naturally come to know these things!"

"Strong enough? You mean becoming a Nine Patterns Supreme or having the strength of a Domain Lord?"

"Neither, but rather reaching a Realm above that of a Domain Lord. Only at that Realm can one truly be considered powerful! If you have time, you should hurry and comprehend the Divine Skills of your stele; knowing these things is of no real use!"

"What Divine Skills? The World Suppressing Stele has other Divine Skills?"

Xi Zhao looked at Sun Wukong helplessly, then slapped his forehead and promptly lay down on the ground. Then he said, "Monkey, don’t tell me you really think the World Suppressing Stele is just for smashing people? I guess only Di Jun and you would use the World Suppressing Stele as a Heaven-Overturning Seal. I ask you, what is the name of your stele?"

"World Suppressing Stele, Wasteland Soil Number Three!"

"Since you know its name, think about it, what Divine Skills could it have?"

"Wasteland Soil Number Three, it should be related to soil, right?"

"Not too stupid. Alright then, from now on, I’ll guide you in comprehending the stele’s Divine Skills every night; otherwise, watching you use the stele to smash people day after day breaks my heart."

"Sure, sure, hehehe, just stop smashing it then. Come on, teach me how to comprehend the Divine Skills!"

"You impulsive monkey, alright then, sit up straight first and enlarge the stele to a height of one meter. Only at that size will it be in its original form, then attach your Soul origin to the stele so you can feel the stele’s patterns, the stele’s breath, everything about the stele!"

Sun Wukong immediately sat up properly, his Soul origin fully emerged, and he then slowly covered and enveloped the World Suppressing Stele. In fact, Sun Wukong had tried this before but could never feel anything; however, today was different. As soon as his Soul began to wrap around it, he suddenly felt a vast and incredibly profound earthly aura.

This aura made Sun Wukong feel extremely comfortable and natural, and it even gave him a sense of security that he could rely on. Gradually, Sun Wukong immersed himself entirely in that sensation, delicately contemplating the mysteries of earth.

Xi Zhao was truly astonished, never expecting Sun Wukong to have such profound comprehension of earth. Sun Wukong had already perfectly merged with the stele right from the start.

Just as Sun Wukong was sensing the World Suppressing Stele of Wasteland No.3, in the Heaven of the Pangu Realm where Fan Xin, who had been quietly cultivating, suddenly "looked" towards the distant horizon.

Since she was still unable to transform, Fan Xin couldn’t use her eyes but only Divine Sense to feel. However, Fan Xin was an Innate Spirit Root, and her Divine Sense could almost extend for hundreds of thousands of meters.

Usually, she would envelop the entire Heaven with her Divine Sense, but now, when Fan Xin’s Divine Sense felt the disturbance at the edge of the sky, she found that her Divine Sense had lost its effectiveness. The only thing she could feel was a very huge Energy breaking through the void, but this energy carried no malice or ill intent; on the contrary, it was very tranquil.

Quickly, this Energy had already broken through the void and was flying directly towards where Fan Xin was located. This startled Fan Xin; although the energy had no intention of attack, it was too massive. If it hit her body, not to mention herself, probably the entire Pangu Realm would be destroyed.

Not daring to delay, Fan Xin hurriedly used all her strength to hold back this Energy. However, at this moment, the small white flower that grew in the soil at her feet suddenly began to tremble as if it sensed something incredulous. Then, the white flower suddenly emitted an emotion of joy.

Because they both belonged to the Wood System, Fan Xin’s feeling was very clear. This joy was the kind of joy that comes after despair when one suddenly sees a vast hope. Moreover, the emotion of this joy released a massive Life Force, for Fan Xin had been slowly infusing her Life Force into Tang Sanzang’s flesh in order to help him shed his skin and transform.

Because of this, Tang Sanzang’s flesh, although dead, was improving by the day. Now, he was almost completely transformed into a pure Wood Spirit Body.

But the cost was that nearly two-thirds of the peach trees in the Peach Garden had withered. However, now, all the withered peach trees had come back to life due to the massive Life Force released by the Transcendence Bloom at the moment of its joy. It was a power that brought the dead back to life.

In her astonishment, Fan Xin saw the Transcendence Bloom shoot up into the sky and collide with the vast Energy. When the Transcendence Bloom touched the incoming Energy, Fan Xin realized that the flying energy was actually emitted from a drop of blood! Whose blood was this? Who could possess such immense power?

Having obtained this drop of blood, the Transcendence Bloom emitted extreme excitement and joy once again. Simultaneously, the Life Force and the Soul Power and Creation Force within the blood drop allowed Fan Xin’s strength to rapidly increase. At this rate, Fan Xin believed that she could take human form very soon!

Meanwhile, Zhu Bajie, who had been using the Rosana Divine Tree to refine the nine Golden Crow Divine Elixirs within his body at the Earth’s Core, also opened his eyes. However, he didn’t sense the power of the drop of blood flying in from the heavens; rather, Zhu Bajie had finished refining the last Golden Core.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie’s Cultivation was at the peak of Saint, on the verge of stepping into the Half-step Great Path Realm.

But with the power of the nine Golden Cores fully refined, and since it clearly wasn’t possible to refine the Rosana Divine Tree as well, Zhu Bajie was momentarily at a loss. Could my strength only improve this much? Such strength is clearly not enough; it’s not just about saving others, even self-preservation is not guaranteed.

In his bewilderment, Zhu Bajie’s gaze fell onto the Rosana Divine Tree. The Rosana Divine Tree was actually a golden tree trunk, so Zhu Bajie set up a section of it atop the magma, and he himself sat cross-legged at the other end.

But as soon as Zhu Bajie sat down, he surprisingly discovered a line of characters on the Rosana Divine Tree. The script was very ancient, from the Primordial Era, but as Zhu Bajie had fused with the nine Golden Crow Divine Elixirs, he also inherited the eyesight and knowledge of the nine Golden Crows. Therefore, he could still understand it.

Engraved on the Rosana Divine Tree was: "The heart of the Earth’s Core, Sui Ren’s firewood!"

"What does this mean? I, old pig, hate riddles the most. I’m already in the Earth’s Core, aren’t I? The heart of the Earth’s Core... could that be the center of this magma? Sui Ren’s firewood, Sui Ren Shi, now that’s something I’ve heard of!"

Legend has it that Sui Ren Shi, also known as "Sui Emperor" or simply Sui Ren, whose name was Yun Chuo, was the foremost of the Three Sovereigns, a person from the Ancient Era of the Sui Ming nation, father to Fuxi and Nuwa.

"Never mind, since there’s nothing else to do right now, why not take a look? If there’s nothing there, it’ll just be like taking a bath."

Having said that, Zhu Bajie shrank the Rosana Divine Tree to the thickness of his arm and then strapped it to his belt. He then took a daring leap into the scorching hot magma.
