Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 736 - 737 Saints Everywhere, Sub-Saints as Common as Dogs (3rd Update!)

The Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court only gave birth to three Heavenly Dao Saints this time, a major reason being that individuals like Six-Eared Macaque were influenced by Sun Wukong, aspiring to slay the Three Corpses to merge with the Dao and become Saints, to reach the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm like Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. Otherwise, relying on the massive merit and destiny granted by the Heavenly Dao upon the establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, there would have likely been more than a mere three new Heavenly Dao Saints!

By the time of the Myriad Races’ return, it will truly be a world where Saints walk everywhere, and Sub-Saints are as common as stray dogs!

Sun Wukong felt a mix of delight and bewilderment in his heart. He was pleased that the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was finally established, and after many years of oppression, the Demon Clan had risen completely under his lead. From now on, no one would dare look down on the Demon Clan as mere beasts with feathers and horns!

His bewilderment, however, stemmed from how seemingly easy it had become to reach the status of Heavenly Dao Saint.

From the Ancient Primeval to the period before the third Limitless Calamity, the Three Realms had so few Heavenly Dao Saints that they could be counted on one’s fingers. But from the change in the Power of Laws of the Three Realms after the third Limitless Calamity till now, there had been so many successors that they could be counted on two hands!

While it’s true that the Heavenly Dao Laws regarding the attainment of Saint had greatly weakened, this also meant that the strength and potential of the newly risen Saints were generally inferior to those of the veteran Saints of old.

"Old Sun is thinking too much, the more Saints that emerge from Flower-Fruit Mountain, the better!"

Shaking his head, Sun Wukong cast aside the doubts in his mind. It was always better to easily become a Saint than to strategize and struggle without success. He still intended to prove his way through strength!

With the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court newly established, there was much to be done. Sun Wukong initially thought to delegate these matters to Leng Xuan and others, but Leng Xuan stopped him.

"Boss, you’re the Heavenly Emperor of our Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. How can you just wash your hands of it all?"

Leng Xuan’s reproachful look made Sun Wukong feel quite ashamed, and he could only brazen it out and tend to the affairs of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, each day feeling like torture. After half a year, he could not bear it anymore and once again threw down his responsibilities and took off!

"Leng Xuan, ah, these trifling matters are really not my forte. I’ll leave the hard work to you! Old Sun is going to enter seclusion to cultivate for a while to strive for the Dao. Don’t come looking for me!"

Listening to the message transmitted from Sun Wukong’s Formation, Leng Xuan was speechless, and the others rolled their eyes. They had originally thought that after establishing the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong would stay peacefully at Flower-Fruit Mountain for a while, fulfilling his duties as the Demon Emperor. Unexpectedly, he remained the same, unable to stay put.

And there he goes again!

Thousands of miles away from Flower-Fruit Mountain, in a valley of the Southern Continent, a streak of golden light flew across the sky, descending. It was Sun Wukong. freёnovelkiss.com

"Leng Xuan and the others should have seen Old Sun’s message by now, right? It’s not that Old Sun wants to shirk his duties, but being the Demon Emperor is truly a tough job. Listening to all those issues makes one feel exhausted! Such tasks are best left to Leng Xuan; he’s a pro at it!"

After muttering to himself for a moment, Sun Wukong scanned the area, "As for Old Sun, naturally, I should stick to doing what I’m adept at... Strange, just now I clearly sensed a strong surge of demonic qi here, but now it’s gone?"

Sun Wukong recognized this valley, it was the place where Demon God Bai Ze and Great Witch Jiu Feng resettled after moving away from the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing. It was also where Great Witch Jiu Feng had created a new gateway between the Two Realms for the Demon Race. Hence, upon sensing the intense demonic qi, Sun Wukong hastened over without hesitation.

It was inevitable that the Myriad Races would return. Being one of the Myriad Races, the Demon Race was also incredibly powerful, and their return was only a matter of time, something Sun Wukong was much aware of.

Truth be told, with Sun Wukong’s current cultivation strength, combined with so many powerful beings from the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, he wasn’t afraid of the Demon Race’s return. However, if the Demon Race really did come back, their attitude towards the changes in the Three Realms would have a significant impact. It was better to know in advance.

"Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!"

Sun Wukong activated his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes; since Divine Sense could detect nothing amiss, he could only rely on the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!

The moment he prompted the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, Sun Wukong immediately noticed something off—a faint trace of demonic Qi lingering in the northeast direction of the valley, invisible to the naked eye!

Following the demonic Qi, Sun Wukong came upon an underground cave. That wisp of demonic Qi was seeping out from this subterranean cavern.

"Something’s fishy, let’s go in and take a look!"

With a flicker in his eyes, Sun Wukong’s figure flashed as he dived into the underground cavern. After descending for a while, he arrived at a massive cavern that spanned thousands of miles and was transformed into the semblance of a base, where beings that moved about between the buildings and streets were none other than members of the Demon Clan!

This was the Demon Clan’s base, a secret underground headquarters of the Demon Clan!

Judging from the scale, it was evident that the Demon Clan had been establishing this underground base for more than a day or two; Sun Wukong estimated it had been years, which coincidentally aligned with the time when those ten ancient races returned to the Three Realms.

Maybe the Demon Clan returned on the same day as those ten ancient races!

However, while the ten ancient races descended at the borders of the four major continents, the Demon Clan emerged here, beneath the ground, quietly building their base without a trace.

This kind of covert development of strength was very much in keeping with the Demon Clan’s modus operandi. It made one wonder whom they were trying to avoid.

"Eight out of ten times, they’re hiding from yours truly!"

After pondering for a bit, Sun Wukong suddenly chuckled. If there was anyone the Demon Clan wanted to avoid, it was likely him, considering that both of the Demon Clan’s premature returns had been foiled by his hands; they naturally didn’t want him messing things up a third time.

"I wonder if Demon Ancestor Luo Hu has returned to the Three Realms yet?"

The demonic Qi Sun Wukong had previously sensed was extremely strong, definitely surpassing even a Heavenly Dao Saint. It could very well be Demon Ancestor Luo Hu!

"In three days’ time, on the day of the Tengu Eclipse, when the spiritual energy of the Three Realms bursts forth, that will be the time for our Demon Clan’s formal return to the Three Realms. Everyone, come to your senses, prepare the Demon Altar well. Otherwise, if the Demon Ancestor blames you, don’t say I didn’t protect you!"

A loud shout came from a distance, and Sun Wukong’s expression suddenly changed. This was...

The voice of Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan—had Mu Chenxuan returned to the Three Realms?

Whoosh!

With a flash of his form, Sun Wukong flew directly towards the source of the voice and indeed saw Mu Chenxuan standing atop a towering altar, loudly commanding the soldiers of the Demon Clan who were building the altar.

"Brother Mu, an old friend comes visiting, and you’re not out to welcome me? Could it be that after all these years, you no longer recognize yours truly, Sun Wukong?"
