Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 679 - 621 Journey to Resolve Confusion

These recent sudden events had left Sun Wukong feeling dazzled, as if the whole world had suddenly become complicated. Although there were many situations in the past that could be resolved with martial prowess, Sun Wukong never considered them to be a problem. However, the strange occurrences he was now facing couldn't be solved with brute strength, and that was an area in which Sun Wukong didn't excel.

Having returned to the Buddha-Worshipping Sect with Tang Sanzang, Sanzang was surprised to find that people were everywhere within the sect, and noticed even more people gathering from all directions on the way back. Prior to this, Sanzang wasn't aware that the Buddha-Worshipping Sect had attracted so many people; he thought there were only about a dozen Dao Transformation level individuals listening to his Buddhist teachings.

"Wukong, these people, these people…" Sanzang was at a loss for what to do, having never anticipated this turn of events. Sun Wukong casually replied, "Master, you can continue in the future, just control the Void Transcendence Flower so it doesn't emit that kind of power fluctuation, and they will naturally disperse once they no longer sense it. Master, with Brother Sand protecting you, no one here can harm you!"

Sanzang nodded. If he wasn't considering the special transcendence power, he was very fond of spreading Buddhist teachings. Afterward, Sun Wukong took Sanzang back to the Lotus Cloud Courtyard. Only after checking the Void Transcendence Flower within his master did Sun Wukong feel reassured. He then gave detailed instructions to Brother Sand, and without any further delay, found Zhu Bajie and the Little White Dragon, who had already returned to the Meditation Room, confirmed their situation, and then brought them both into the World Within the Artifact of the Golden Hoop.

Then Sun Wukong's Divine Sense entered into the World Within the Artifact. To facilitate better cultivation for Bajie and the Little White Dragon, Sun Wukong had specifically prepared places within the World Within the Artifact that were suitable for their training. The place for Zhu Bajie's cultivation was, in fact, the Thunder Pond. After his tribulation, Bajie's internal flames had gained the Thunder Attribute. Moreover, the Thunder Pond seemed to not repel Bajie's Red Lotus Fire Body, thus becoming the optimum cultivation site for him.

Wukong devised a very straightforward method for Zhu Bajie's cultivation, which was to continuously absorb Spiritual Power and then use the smelting capability of the Red Lotus Fire Body to further refine and compress the Spiritual Power, aiming to store as much Spiritual Power as possible. During this process, Sun Wukong would place all the Fire Attribute Spirit Stones near the Thunder Pond, and all Bajie had to do was cast those Fire Attribute Spirit Stones into the Thunder Pond to let it decompose them and directly absorb the Spiritual Energy, a method far quicker than if Bajie had to smelt the Spirit Stones to obtain Spiritual Power himself.

In addition, Sun Wukong placed another cluster of flames gifted by the Flame God in the Thunder Pond – the Purple Gold Kirin Fire, which was the Life-bound Flame of Ling Weiyang's Purple Gold Kirin. Sun Wukong clearly warned Bajie that the Kirin Purple-Gold Fire was an existence far more powerful than the Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame, and that it was absolutely lethal for Bajie to attempt to devour it before reaching the peak of Dao Transformation. The Earth's Core Gold-Melting Flame was an unclaimed flame, merely fierce, but the Kirin Purple-Gold Fire bore some remnant of Weiyang's will and certainly wasn't something Bajie could withstand.

Beyond that, Sun Wukong discreetly placed the Burning Fire Number Nine from the World Suppressing Stele under the Thunder Pond. This stele contained the force of a Primeval Flame, the Nine Heavens Pure Fire, which was undoubtedly the most domineering and powerful flame in the universe. Under the perpetual influence of the stele, Bajie's flames were sure to evolve. Wukong didn't disclose to Bajie about the Burning Fire Number Nine, fearing the gluttonous fool's recklessness. If Bajie forcibly devoured the Kirin Purple-Gold Fire against advice, it would cause him discomfort at most. However, should he consume the energy of the Heavenly Stele, who knew what could happen. A mishap could release the creature sealed inside, effectively playing with fire.

There was also the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon contained within the Burning Fire Stele – an item of extreme rarity. Should Bajie eat it, Sun Wukong would be devastated. It was a thing that could harm a Heavenly Venerate.

The place for the Little White Dragon's cultivation wasn't as luxurious as Bajie's. Mainly because Sun Wukong didn't have any Metal Attribute treasures except for a large number of Spirit Stones, and only a Gold Tree that was obtained from the Earth's Core Crystal Palace during a patrol in the Celestial Realm. This Gold Tree was also a supreme treasure of the Metal Attribute. Cultivating beside this Gold Tree would yield twice the results for those of the Metal Attribute. Moreover, Sun Wukong had heard from the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent that the Gold Tree was smelted from the weapon of an ancient pioneer.

Thinking of the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, Sun Wukong couldn't help feeling some regret. After leaving the last time, the serpent did not return. Before Wukong left, he had located the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, which was then inhabiting the body of a large python. When Wukong mentioned he was leaving, the serpent refused his offer to accompany him and insisted on staying, though the serpent never disclosed its reasons. Wukong did not pry further, merely warning it not to cause trouble, and then he no longer concerned himself with it.

Reflecting now, the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent must have discovered something about the Pangu Realm. Combining the information received earlier with the scenes he had just witnessed, an idea suddenly dawned on Sun Wukong. However, with the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent not around, this idea couldn't be confirmed.

When Zhu Bajie saw the piles of Spirit Stones around the Thunder Pond, amounting to seven or eight large mountains, he nearly went mad. He threw himself onto a Spirit Stone Mountain, presenting his big buttocks, vowing never to leave again. After instructing Bajie and kicking him into the Thunder Pond, Sun Wukong then took White Dragon to another place surrounded by seven Spirit Stone Mountains. White Dragon's cultivation site was right in the middle of these seven Spirit Stone Mountains, where a gold tree, taller than a man, stood erect.

When White Dragon saw that gold tree, he became transfixed. Then, with even more insane fervor, he dashed towards the gold tree as if a starving person had suddenly set eyes on a roast chicken, leaving Sun Wukong dumbfounded. This wasn't the White Dragon he knew; what incredible allure did this gold tree hold for him? Without needing a word from Sun Wukong, White Dragon immediately sat down cross-legged under the gold tree and began cultivating. Initially, White Dragon wasn't absorbing Spiritual Power but refining the remaining Water Attribute Spiritual Power within his body.

Since White Dragon had already decided to accept the gold seal's mysterious assimilation power, he naturally aimed to completely assimilate, transforming all the remaining Water Attribute Spiritual Power in his body into Metal Attribute. Seeing White Dragon enter a state of cultivation without any need for instruction, Sun Wukong refrained from watching any longer. He then found Ying Zhao and Ji Meng, who were cultivating within the World Within the Artifact, and tasked them with watching over Bajie and White Dragon. Should anything arise, they were to notify Sun Wukong immediately through Divine Consciousness Transmission.

Ji Meng and Ying Zhao had already cultivated to the Four Patterns Dao Patterns Realm and were charging towards the Five Patterns. With them present, Sun Wukong wasn't too worried about the safety of Bajie and White Dragon. After his Divine Sense withdrew from the World Within the Artifact, Sun Wukong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sanzang, White Dragon, and Bajie had all been properly arranged. Next, Sun Wukong had to proceed with his own plans. There were too many queries in his heart that needed answers, and he needed to find some of them in Buddha's Pure Land. After finding all the answers he could here, it would be time to leave.

In reality, Sun Wukong could have taken Sanzang and White Dragon into the World Within the Artifact as well, which would have been the most comprehensive strategy. Within the World Within the Artifact, no matter what happens, everything would be within Sun Wukong's control. However, Sun Wukong understood his master very well. Rather than letting Sanzang endure tedious cultivation within the World Within the Artifact, he preferred his master to stay with the Buddha-worshipping Sect, engaging in theological Buddhist discussions. Moreover, with Elder Sha present, Sanzang's safety was absolutely guaranteed.

After leaving a grain of Spatial Sand at the Buddha-worshipping Sect, Sun Wukong took advantage of the night and left without notifying anyone. Sun Wukong's departure this time didn't have a specific destination in mind, but he knew he definitely had to make a trip. Staying at the Buddha-worshipping Sect wouldn't yield any answers.

Having left the Buddha-worshipping Sect, the first place Sun Wukong visited was the Battle Buddha Sect. First, he wanted to see if Enemy War had obeyed his command to disband the Battle Buddha Sect, and second, he suddenly felt that there was something familiar about Enemy War's appearance. This was an extremely subtle feeling, and Sun Wukong couldn't even recall where this familiarity came from, only that it arose in his mind after he and Bajie had entered the fissure.

Therefore, Sun Wukong felt that another visit to the Battle Buddha Sect was necessary. Although it was night, on his way to the Battle Buddha Sect, he still saw many people continuously rushing towards the Buddha-worshipping Sect. Clearly, they must have heard that someone at the Buddha-worshipping Sect could elevate their Realm. Unfortunately, it was destined that their effort would be in vain this time.

When Sun Wukong arrived at the gates of the Battle Buddha Sect, he saw that it was indeed deserted, and the sect's premises were in complete disarray. Sun Wukong didn't touch down, but just passing over it, he knew there was indeed no one left inside. It seemed Enemy War was quite astute after all. However, he still needed to find him to confirm the source of this familiar sensation. Although Enemy War wasn't here, the Divine Sense mark Sun Wukong left in Enemy War's mind allowed him to easily locate his position.

"Three thousand miles to the north. It seems Enemy War fled with great speed!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please cast your recommendation votes and monthly passes at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
