78 -78: Blood Sea Nether Moon Crystal, I Reluctantly Accept It

Looking at the fate of his monkey descendants resting in Sun Wukong’s hands.

The Ten Yama Kings and the Judge couldn’t believe that Sun Wukong would remain unmoved.

To tell the truth, Sun Wukong was indeed moved.

But with the reminder from his fellow Daoist, he understood that birth, aging, sickness, and death were decreed by heaven.

If he couldn’t resist erasing all the monkeys of Mount Huaguo from the Book of Life and Death, it would surely disturb the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and inevitably lead to numerous karmic consequences.

Now, just one treasure from Buddhism was enough to trouble him, let alone countless karmic repercussions.

Moreover, the Three Realms had many powerful beings, and Celestial Court was even more a den of dragons and tigers.

Should he alter the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he would undoubtedly attract the attention of Celestial Court, and even if not for the karmic repercussions, just these powerful beings alone were enough to jeopardize his own safety.

Furthermore, he understood that the Book of Life and Death could only restrict those below an Immortal; as long as his monkey descendants became powerful enough to shed their mortal forms and ascend to immortality, they would be on the right path.

If he erased the Book of Life and Death and the monkeys of Mount Huaguo were to die, they wouldn’t even have the chance to be reborn.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong repeatedly shook his head and said, “Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the cycles of Heavenly Dao; how can I, Old Sun, sever the opportunity of reincarnation for my many monkey descendants simply for my own selfish desires!”

“Besides, the monkey descendants of Mount Huaguo might also wish to be reborn!”

Sun Wukong spoke righteously, filled with moral integrity!

Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Ten Yama Kings were all momentarily stunned.

Did this monkey actually know so much rationale?

To give up the opportunity to erase the Book of Life and Death presented to him?

However, the Judge beside them couldn’t help but say, “Great King, how would you know whether they wish to always stay by the Great King’s side or not?”

“Oh?

Since you have said so, then you might as well erase my monkey descendants from the Book of Life and Death for me!”

Sun Wukong said irritably.

At first, he hadn’t thought so deeply, but the Ten Yama Kings and this Judge were so fixated on having him erase the monkeys of Mount Huaguo.

Even if he, Sun Wukong, was foolish, he could see the problem therein.

Having said this, the Judge beside him didn’t know what to say.

“Great King, this…”

A Judge like him wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.

Needless to speak of him as a Judge, even the Ten Yama Kings likely wouldn’t dare to take it upon themselves to alter the Book of Life and Death.

After all, any changes in the Book of Life and Death could affect the cyclic operations of the Three Realms, and even the slightest alteration might affect the entirety of the Three Realms.

By then, they might not only lose their official positions but their very lives might be struck from the Three Realms.

The atmosphere in the grand hall grew somewhat awkward.

For a moment, neither the Ten Yama Kings nor the Judge beside them knew what to do.

“Since you have no intention of resolving this karmic enmity, Old Sun believes it’s best to take me to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to settle it once and for all!”

Seeing that no one spoke, Sun Wukong felt that this was an opportunity to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and once inside, perhaps no one would bother him anymore!

By then, he would hide his main body, cultivate in secrecy, and not emerge until he reached the level of a Saint.

As for the Ten Yama Kings, what did they have to do with him.

“No, no, no, Great King, please stay, let’s talk!”

Seeing that Sun Wukong was about to reincarnate again, how could they explain this?

Sun Wukong was truly a hot potato, unbeatable and beyond reproach, and at any disagreement, he was ready to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

If they had known, they would have never agreed to Buddhism’s request.

Initially, they thought it would be easy to bring Sun Wukong to heel, as every wronged spirit that enters the Underworld wants to leave.

However, this Sun Wukong just didn’t want to live anymore and was intent on heading to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At this moment, the Ten Yama Kings hurriedly rose from their seats to stop him.

King Qin Guang, his face full of apologetic smiles, said, “Great King, so wise and understanding, we cannot compare to you, and since you do not wish to alter the Six Paths of Reincarnation for your benefit, we still have a treasure we can offer!”

“Consider it a form of apology, and I hope the Great King won’t disdain it!”

Since Sun Wukong was impervious to persuasion, they had done their best.

As he spoke, King Qin Guang flipped his hand, and a somber light shone.

It was a crystal stone, the size of a baby’s fist, emitting a pale blue glow.

Despite emitting an extremely cold chill, under Sun Wukong’s perception, it had a gentle force acting on the Primordial Spirit.

“This object is the Blood Sea Nether Moon Crystal, formed deep within the Underworld Blood Sea over many tens of thousands of years.

Although the Blood Sea can corrode the Primordial Spirit, as the saying goes, extreme poison can also produce substances hugely beneficial to the Primordial Spirit, and this Blood Sea Nether Moon Crystal is such an object!”

“As long as you keep it close and nurture it, it will steadily strengthen your Primordial Spirit!”

Even after so many years since the Blood Sea was generated, only a few crystals had formed.

Although not as potent as an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was still a top-tier treasure in the world.

Even Ksitigarbha King, after learning about this treasure, pursued it eagerly.

Unfortunately, as an item born from the Underworld Blood Sea, it also belonged to the Celestial Court.

Even Ksitigarbha King did not dare to seize it.

And yet, King Qin Guang had now brought out this item.

Sun Wukong naturally did not know the importance of this item, but the Ten Yama Kings did. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

At that moment, when Chu Jiang Wang saw what was happening, he urgently telepathied, “Fellow Daoist, have you gone mad?

This item is meant to be presented to His Majesty.

If you give it to this macaque now, how are we to explain ourselves if His Majesty pursues the matter?”

King Qin Guang merely glanced at Chu Jiang Wang, then telepathied back, “How to explain?

That’s a matter for later.

If we don’t present something satisfactory to this monkey now and he plunges into the Six Paths of Reincarnation in a fit of pique, how will we wrap this up?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang Wang was at a loss for words.

King Qin Guang’s words weren’t wrong—without the Blood Sea Nether Moon Crystal, at most they would get a scolding from the Jade Emperor, but if something happened to this monkey in their Underworld.

Then they would face the wrath of the entire Buddhist community, and potentially even provoke the anger of the two Saints behind Buddhism, likely leaving the Jade Emperor unable to protect them.

Thinking about this, what more could Chu Jiang Wang say?

Torn between two sides, they could only choose the more acceptable option.

“Great King, are you satisfied with this item?

If so, we’d like to offer it to you as compensation for this misunderstanding!”

King Qin Guang forced a smile, feeling extremely frustrated inside.

Sun Wukong looked at the crystal in King Qin Guang’s hand.

Although he did not know its purpose, he understood its power from the sensation.

“Since you all wish to compensate with this, I, Old Sun, will reluctantly accept!”

He couldn’t help but reflect, had he not listened to his brother’s advice, he might have offended the Celestial Court without gaining such a treasure.
