Chapter 716 -717: Substitute for the Three Life Stone (Fourth Update!)

“Oblivion is more than just a river!”

Yama Heavenly Son shook his head with a smile, “Oblivion is a vast ocean, storing the memories of all those who have passed through reincarnation, with a limit of ten lives! Wukong, you’re in luck. If Jiang Liu’er had gone through one more reincarnation, the memories from his life as Golden Cicada Child would have completely vanished in the Oblivion, and then truly there would have been no way to retrieve them!”

“Then what are we waiting for? Yama brother, you must tell me quickly how to enter Oblivion. I must go in and retrieve Golden Cicada Child’s memories!”

Wukong was overjoyed and urged him hastily.

“What’s the rush? I haven’t finished speaking yet!”

Yama Heavenly Son looked at Wukong, somewhat amused, “Wukong, memories of past lives are not so easily retrieved! As I just mentioned, Oblivion is a vast ocean containing the memories of ten lifetimes for all those who have reincarnated. Can you imagine how enormous that number is? To find the memories of Golden Cicada Child among the memories of so many people is much more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack!”

“What should we do then?”

Wukong became anxious, “Yama brother, surely you have a way, right?”

“Of course, otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought you to this Nostalgia Platform.”

Yama Heavenly Son pointed at the Three-Life Stone atop the Nostalgia Platform, “Wukong, do you know why the deceased can see memories of their past lives through this Three-Life Stone?”

“Yama brother, are you saying that this Three-Life Stone can connect to the memories within Oblivion?”

Wukong’s eyes lit up, as he seemed to have grasped Yama Heavenly Son’s meaning.

“Exactly!”

Yama Heavenly Son clapped his hands, “The Three-Life Stone is a peculiar stone condensed from within Oblivion and has a wondrous connection to it. So no matter who it is, they can see their past and present lives through it, though no more than three lifetimes can be seen. Wukong, if you want to find the memories of Golden Cicada Child, which Jiang Liu’er possessed ten lifetimes ago, you must carry the Three-Life Stone with you into Oblivion. Only then can the Three-Life Stone truly exert its fullest effect!”

“Then what are we waiting for? Hurry and fetch the Three-Life Stone!”

As Wukong spoke, he was about to go forth and collect the Three-Life Stone but was stopped by Yama Heavenly Son, “Wukong, don’t be so impatient! The Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures is not over that quickly, and Jiang Liu’er and the others won’t reach Thunder Sound Temple so soon. Listen to me fully before you act!”

“Ah, it’s my impatience getting the better of me, Yama brother, you speak, you speak!”

Wukong, feeling somewhat embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

“Wukong, when I first established the Netherworld, the reason I set up the Nostalgia Platform here and placed the Three-Life Stone on it was not just so the departed could see their past and present lives. It’s because the Nostalgia Platform is a node in the entire Netherworld, and it’s also an entrance and exit point for Oblivion.”

“So, the place where the Three-Life Stone is, is Oblivion’s entrance node?”

“Correct! The Three-Life Stone is used to block the entrance and exit of Oblivion. If you rashly remove the Three-Life Stone, the waters of Oblivion will flow out from it, flooding the entire Netherworld! The waters of Oblivion are not something ordinary people can withstand. Those whose cultivation has not reached the Quasi-Saint Realm will certainly be dissolved upon entering it; the destructive power is even greater than that of the weak water, and at that time, both Netherworld Ghost Tribe and Asura Tribe will face a disaster of extinction, understand?”

Yama Heavenly Son’s words made Wukong furrow his brows tightly, “Then what can be done? Without this Three-Life Stone, it would be impossible for me to find the memories of Golden Cicada Child!”

“The Three-Life Stone is a must-bring, but before that, we need something to replace the Three-Life Stone and block the entrance and exit of the Oblivion!”

“What is it?”

“The Blood God Stone! The supreme treasure of the Asura Tribe, or rather, the supreme treasure of the Nether River Ancestor, located within the Blood God Temple in the Boundless Blood Sea. It is the cornerstone used by the Nether River Ancestor to create the Asura Tribe!”

A gleam of sharpness flashed in the eyes of the Yama Heavenly Son, “As far as I know, only the Blood God Stone can replace the Three-Life Stone to block the entrance and exit of the Oblivion! However, that old guy Nether River values the Blood God Stone extremely, usually keeping it within the Blood God Temple to provide continuous support to the Asura Tribe and the Boundless Blood Sea. It won’t be easy to borrow it from him…”

“I, Old Sun, am going to borrow it now!”

Before Yama Heavenly Son finished speaking, Sun Wukong had already risen into the air and flown towards the direction of Hell’s Yellow Springs, “Yama old brother, you wait here. I, Old Sun, will definitely borrow the Blood God Stone!”

“That kid Wukong, despite being the leader of a teaching, is still so impetuous, really!”

Yama Heavenly Son shook his head with a somewhat amused smile, then the corners of his mouth curled up in a playful grin, “That Blood God Stone is like the apple of the Nether River’s eye. It won’t be easy to borrow. Wukong, it all depends on how much clout you really have!”

Deep within Hell’s Yellow Springs, in the midst of the Boundless Blood Sea.

The Nether River Ancestor was sitting cross-legged in the Blood God Temple, cultivating. Blood energy swirled around him, a blood-red Heaven-Piercing Great Dao glowed behind him, with Great Dao Runes etching onto it continuously.

This was the Blood Great Dao of the Nether River Ancestor. Although it was only the eighteenth ranked among the Three Thousand Great Daos, not comparable to the Great Dao of Reincarnation, for any race with blood flowing in their bodies, the might of the Blood Great Dao was definitely not to be underestimated!

“Hmm? Someone has entered the Blood Sea! It’s Sun Wukong!”

Suddenly, the Nether River Ancestor’s expression shifted, opening his eyes in some surprise. The Boundless Blood Sea was like a part of his own body, he could sense immediately whenever anyone entered. Just now, Sun Wukong had arrived above the Boundless Blood Sea and dove straight into it, swimming towards the Blood God Temple, seemingly seeking him.

“Strange, why would Wukong come to find me all of a sudden? He must need my help with something!”

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Given Sun Wukong’s personality, he would never visit the Treasure Hall without a reason. He had entered and exited the Netherworld many times, always seeking Yama Heavenly Son, and had never once paid a visit to the Nether River Ancestor. His sudden appearance at the Boundless Blood Sea made it painfully obvious to the Nether River Ancestor, even without thinking, that Wukong must be coming to him for a reason!

And definitely not a small one!

“Nether River old brother, Old Sun is here to see you!”

From a distance, Sun Wukong’s voice was heard. The next instant, a flash of golden light surged into the Blood God Temple, its Barrier acting as if nonexistent, offering no resistance at all.

The golden light dissipated, and Sun Wukong’s figure appeared before the Nether River Ancestor, his face full of mischievousness.

“I was wondering who it could be; turns out it’s Wukong! What brings you to my Boundless Blood Sea today?”

The Nether River Ancestor raised his eyebrows, a playful look on his face as he asked Sun Wukong.
