Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 631 - 588: April Fool’s Day Is Just So Capricious

From Qinling Mountains to Changbai Mountains, the distance was not far. Sun Wukong had arrived in just half an hour. The situation at Changbai Mountains was similar to that of Mount Kunlun, equally covered in white snow, a vast expanse of silver wherever one looked. However, accustomed to the lush greenery of Flower Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong did not quite fancy the heavy snows of Changbai Mountains. Moreover, with the somewhat strange destiny lurking beneath Changbai Mountains, Sun Wukong was even less in the mood to appreciate the snowy scenery.

He went directly down the peak of Changbai Mountains, feeling like a pangolin with wings. The thought of pangolins reminded Sun Wukong of Rogue Heart Sword Hero's barbecued meat. There was no direct connection between the two, yet Sun Wukong couldn't help but make the association. The barbecued meat prepared by Rogue Heart Sword Hero might have been the tastiest thing Sun Wukong had ever eaten, almost addictive. Just thinking about it made him nearly drool, and he began to ponder whether he should take the opportunity to visit the Sword Hero and enjoy a feast.

Before Sun Wukong could complete his thoughts, he already sensed the aura of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. These nine great cauldrons were connected by a special bond, imperceptible to those who had never seen them. But having encountered as many as five already, Sun Wukong was quite familiar with their aura. "As expected, very obedient, though it seems to be sealed, the Seal isn't complete."

It was similar to the Jingzhou Cauldron Sun Wukong had found underneath Mount Kunlun, except the Seal at the base of Mount Kunlun was severely damaged, whereas the Seal beneath Changbai Mountains, though also not complete, seemed to still be functioning; otherwise, the destiny emanating from the great cauldron wouldn't have been so weak. Finally, Sun Wukong came across another underground space. Despite the pitch darkness, it caused no trouble for his vision.

No sooner had Sun Wukong's figure touched the ground then he felt something approaching. Soon, he saw countless strange birds with human faces circling above him. The sight surprised Sun Wukong because bird-bodied demons with human heads were usually under the jurisdiction of the Western Queen Mother; so why would they appear at the base of Changbai Mountains? Although he was surprised, Sun Wukong didn't pay them too much mind. If those strange birds just circled and called out above him, he wouldn't bother with them. Should the flock of birds foolishly attack him, Sun Wukong could annihilate them with a wave of his hand.

The human-faced birds seemed quite wary of Sun Wukong and simply kept circling overhead, without a single one daring to dive down. "Hmph, at least they have some insight and didn't seek their own destruction!" However, no sooner had Sun Wukong finished speaking, than he furrowed his brow again. As he looked up at the birds in the sky, he found himself surrounded by numerous worm-like creatures, each about ten meters long, resembling centipedes. Sun Wukong recognized these creatures as Gonggong worms. A ten-meter-long Gonggong worm probably possessed a thousand years of cultivation. Yet in Sun Wukong's presence, they were still insignificant.

These Gonggong worms weren't as clever as the birds in the sky, crawling over from all directions and then lunging at Sun Wukong. The gigantic Gonggong worms were like dragons, but Sun Wukong smirked disdainfully. Swinging his hand casually, all the Gonggong worms instantly froze in place. Without making another move, Sun Wukong once again delved underground. The place where the great cauldron was located was even deeper. After Sun Wukong departed, the countless dragon-like Gonggong worms immediately turned to flying ashes. The birds in the sky, scared witless, screamed and flew away in a frenzy—the ashes of the Gonggong worms were extremely toxic, after all.

This time, Sun Wukong appeared in a rather special place. Although it was also a vast underground space, in front of Sun Wukong stood a gigantic Bronze Gate! On seeing this Bronze Gate, Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned, his first thought being: Could Yue Huangquan have been here? The gate closely resembled the one used by Yue Huangquan, only much larger. In the darkness, Sun Wukong's gaze was like a torch, scrutinizing the Bronze Gate very carefully.

However, having only glimpsed Yue Huangquan's Bronze Door from a distance and never having the chance to examine it closely, Sun Wukong couldn't confirm whether this gate was the same. Since he couldn't discern it, he could only push the gate open to see what was behind it. Moreover, Sun Wukong could sense the aura of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons seeping through the cracks of the Bronze Gate. He looked around and discovered no other peculiarities, so he took a few steps forward to the Bronze Gate, knocking on it to find it was indeed cast in bronze—not the common bronze of the mortal world, but one imbued with spiritual power, clearly forged by cultivators.

Laying his hands on one side of the vast door, Sun Wukong pushed forcefully, producing a thunderous rumble. The entire underground space trembled. Unperturbed, Sun Wukong pushed again with greater strength, and the massive door swung open. Stepping forward, he widened the crack enough for two carriages to pass through. Dusting off his clothes from the effort, Sun Wukong then ignited his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes and peered inside.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately showed a look of surprise on his face. He then promptly stepped into the gate. Beyond the gate was a world shrouded in fog, but to Sun Wukong, with his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, such mists couldn't obstruct his vision at all. The reason for Sun Wukong's surprise was twofold, the first being that he discovered that beyond the Bronze Gate lay the Netherworld. A mere six or seven hundred meters ahead was the renowned Yellow Spring Path of the Netherworld.

It was indeed strange. At the base of Mount Changbai in the Mortal World, there happened to be a gate that led to the Netherworld. Were they not afraid that mortals would accidentally stumble in? To confirm that this place was actually the Netherworld, Sun Wukong activated his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, and instantly saw through the whole space. After his observation, Sun Wukong knew for sure that this was indeed the Netherworld.

Beyond the Yellow Spring Path lay the River of Forgetfulness, and upon this river, there was a bridge, known as the Naihe Bridge. At the head of Naihe Bridge was the Three Lives Stone. The banks of the River of Forgetfulness were covered in red spider lilies. Moving forward, one would reach the Yama Hall, where King Qin Guang, one of the Ten Kings of Hell, resided. Beyond him, in order, were the Second King Chu Jiang, the Third King Song Di, the Fourth King Five Officials, the Fifth King Yan Luo, the Sixth King Bian Cheng, the Seventh King Tai Shan, the Eighth King Du Shi, the Ninth King Ping Deng, and the Tenth King Zhuan Lun. Thus, it was without doubt that this place was indeed the Netherworld.

The second thing that surprised Sun Wukong was the sight of a person sitting cross-legged with closed eyes on the rooftop of King Qin Guang's palace. Of course, it wasn't strange to find people in the Netherworld, but what was strange was that this person was just a mere mortal. Indeed, a mortal, a complete mortal with not a hint of spiritual power typical of cultivators. Yet, such a mortal dared to sit on the rooftop of King Qin Guang's palace and, judging by their appearance, had been sitting there for a long time.

"Interesting, although just a mortal, he possesses Kirin bloodline, and it is the bloodline of a black Kirin at that. Despite being very weak, it's enough to deter evil spirits," Sun Wukong muttered to himself while looking at the person.

However, a person with a Kirin bloodline couldn't arouse too much interest in Sun Wukong. Although he did not know why this mortal stayed here, Sun Wukong's goal this time was the Nine Tripod Cauldrons. As soon as he entered the gate, Sun Wukong had already sensed that the Nine Tripod Cauldrons were not in the Netherworld, but the aura definitely seeped through the crack of the Bronze Gate. Therefore, Sun Wukong concluded that the cauldron must be hidden in a different space, just like the seals encapsulating those puppets!

After one more glance at the Kirin tattoo on that person's body, Sun Wukong turned around and left the place. He closed the gate behind him, and once again, the aura of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons came to him. Sun Wukong did not search blindly, but instead, he closed his eyes and carefully felt the subtle spatial changes on the Bronze Gate.

Soon, a smile appeared on Sun Wukong's face. Hidden within an eye-shaped pattern on the Bronze Gate was a spatial array, and the cauldron was concealed inside it.

Instead of destroying the array, Sun Wukong's figure flashed as he directly entered into it. (To be continued.
