Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 465 - Who else can help him if we don’t? (First update!)

Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Who else can help him if we don’t? (First update!)

The apocalyptic crisis was a catastrophe that affected countless beings, even the Heavenly Dao Saints could be drawn into it. Minor impacts could lead to a regression in cultivation, while major ones could result in death and the obliteration of one’s Dao, essentially wasting a lifetime of cultivation like water flowing away. It could be considered the grandest calamity within heaven and earth, but it could also be seen as the greatest opportunity.

During the apocalyptic crisis, the spiritual energy of nature of the entire Three Realms would experience massive fluctuations, thereby affecting the stability of the space of the Three Realms itself. The space of the Three Realms, as reestablished by the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, was not meant to withstand the full force assault of a Heavenly Dao Saint. However, during the ongoing apocalyptic crisis, the stability of space would be greatly strengthened, capable of withstanding the full onslaught of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

In other words, as soon as the apocalyptic crisis arrived, the Heavenly Dao Saints would no longer be restricted or bound by the edicts of the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, and could give full rein to their powers. That would be the time of the holy battle!

According to the Leader of Tongtian’s perception, the third apocalyptic crisis could arrive at any moment—it could be in the very next second, or perhaps not for three to five years. Now was not yet the time for Sun Wukong to act, as he was not in imminent danger.

The battle between Sun Wukong and the Tathagata Buddha was still underway. With the Tathagata Buddha having suppressed his power, for the time being, the two were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand over the other. Such a battle, close to the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint, was the first to affect the Heavenly Court.

As Sun Wukong fought, he kept drawing the battlefield towards the central region of the Ninth Layer of Heaven, in the direction of Lingxia Palace. The central area of Lingxia Palace was protected by the Great Formation Barrier and could barely withstand the shockwaves of their confrontation. However, the floating Immortal Islands outside the central area were unable to hold on. Under the onslaught of power, they shattered one after another, turned into fine dust, and ultimately disappeared without a trace.

...

Deep within the Jade Pond Water Pavilion, in the sleeping chambers of the Queen Mother.

“Hao Tian, you bastard! When I get out of here, I will never let you go!”

Within the inner chamber of the sleeping quarters, the Queen Mother was trapped within a sphere of light. This was a sphere made up of numerous Prohibition Formations, which had restricted all of her strength and confined her within the chamber.

The entire Heavenly Court believed that the Queen Mother had ultimately agreed to use Zi Lan Fairy as a hostage to lure Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court out of respect for the Jade Emperor. No one expected that the Queen Mother was actually imprisoned within her sleeping chamber by the Jade Emperor’s scheme!

It wasn’t just others who were taken by surprise, but the Queen Mother herself as well; thus, she was entirely unprepared when the Jade Emperor successfully ambushed her. However, the Jade Emperor only dared to confine the Queen Mother and did not dare to truly harm her. Apart from other considerations, should anything happen to the Queen Mother at the hands of the Jade Emperor, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord would not let it pass, let alone the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor residing in Da Lou Heaven!

“This bastard Hao Tian, how long had he been preparing? Such powerful prohibitions are not something that can be set up in a short while. Damn it, he must have anticipated my opposition long ago and begun his preparations early on!”

The Queen Mother’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, her face dark and gloomy. She and the Jade Emperor were husband and wife in name only, as assigned by the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, without much affection between them. They usually treated each other with courtesy, jointly maintaining the order of the Heavenly Palace and the Three Realms. The Jade Emperor’s actions this time had completely violated the Queen Mother’s bottom line, and she would no longer endure in silence.

“Hao Tian, you will pay for your actions!”

The cold voice echoed throughout the inner chamber of the sleeping quarters, but was not able to pass beyond. The Queen Mother began to summon the suppressed Immortal Primordial Force bit by bit, striving to break through the remaining Prohibitions and Formations, as killing intent gradually accumulated within her heart…

Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The terrifying fluctuations of strength that had traveled from the firmament had already penetrated the barrier of the Immortal Palace and began to spread towards all corners of the Three Realms. The followers of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult could naturally sense it.

“No, I can’t just sit here and wait any longer! The boss must already be fighting with those from the Heavenly Court. With such intense power fluctuations, the opponent must be extremely strong! I must go and help the boss. Who among you is willing to come with me?”

Standing on the high platform in front of the Water Curtain Cave Heaven’s waterfall, the Six-Eared Macaque sensed the waves of power emanating from the firmament, furrowing its brows. Clenching its fists tightly, it suddenly bit down hard and turned to loudly ask the followers behind it.

“It must have been the Tathagata Buddha who took action!”

Nezha’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, having been suppressed by Li Jing’s Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda for so many years, and with his eldest brother Jin Zha and second brother Mu Zha both within the Buddhist Sect, he was most familiar with its power. The faint hint of Buddhist force emanating from the power fluctuations transmitted from the vault of heaven indicated that the person clashing with Sun Wukong must surely be a master from the Buddhist Sect!

And within the entire Buddhist Sect, the only one now capable of firmly overpowering Sun Wukong was indeed the Tathagata Buddha!

“It looks like the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect have teamed up this time to set a trap and lure Wukong in!”

The expression on Erlang God Yang Jian’s face was also not good. What Nezha had thought of, he had as well, considering Sun Wukong was probably now trapped in the Heavenly Palace and had already confronted the Tathagata Buddha.

“That’s why we need to help our boss!”

A voice came from the direction of the mountain gate, and upon turning their heads, who else could it be but Leng Xuan?

Today’s Leng Xuan had thoroughly consolidated his Half-Step Saint cultivation, holding a Celestial Fox Staff, with an aura that was profound and stable, making him not in the least bit easy to underestimate. Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes flashed with a strange light; Leng Xuan’s current strength, he feared, was probably on par with Ying Long, Ying Tian, and Candle Dragon Ao Tian!

“Brother Leng!”

“Grand Steward!”

“Leng Xuan! You’ve finally returned!”

Joy appeared on everyone’s faces. If Sun Wukong was regarded as the spiritual leader of Flower-Fruit Mountain, then Leng Xuan was its backbone. The major affairs of Flower-Fruit Mountain have always been decided and executed by him. Previously, Leng Xuan’s absence as he stayed in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom made the whole Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Clan somewhat uneasy, always having a sense of bewilderment. But now, Leng Xuan had finally returned!

“Brother Leng, we want to help our boss. Do you think the same?”

The Six-Eared Macaque leaped in front of Leng Xuan, his eyes shining as he inquired eagerly.

“Of course! Our boss is the king of Flower-Fruit Mountain, our Great Saint! Now that he is in trouble, we, as his brothers and subordinates, certainly cannot just stand by and do nothing!”

Leng Xuan nodded without hesitation.

“But the boss said before that we should stay and guard Flower-Fruit Mountain…”

Yu Tang King hesitated a bit. Sun Wukong’s attitude had been extremely resolute before. Wouldn’t their hasty trip to the Heavenly Court cause a mess for Sun Wukong?

“What was before is before; the boss planned to quietly rescue Zi Lan Fairy. But now it seems his whereabouts have been exposed. Since the Jade Emperor and Tathagata have led him to the Heavenly Court, they surely have set traps beforehand. If we don’t go help him, who else will?”
