Three days later, Ziling, Pangu, and the others once again returned to the Annihilation Demon Nation. However, by this time, the Annihilation Demon Nation had been deserted, and the pool they had searched before was scrutinized once more without finding anything. In a rage, Pangu even flipped the pool upside down, but still discovered nothing. On the other hand, Yue Huangquan was planning to go investigate the Myriad Demons Country with his subordinates, only to find, to his frustration, that Myriad Demons Country had vanished. In fact, the locations of the Six Great Divine Nations are extremely concealed, and without guidance from someone on the inside, they're utterly unfindable.
This was because, after the law enforcers set the rule that divine nations must not wage large-scale wars, in order to prevent hostile forces from sending high-level experts to destroy their divine nations, the location of each divine nation was kept variable. Now, fearing that Ziling, Yue Huangquan, and others would take advantage of Myriad Demons Country's internal weakness and launch a sneak attack, Ling Weiyang had chosen to completely conceal it. As a result, not only could Yue Huangquan and his people no longer find Myriad Demons Country, but even those who ascended from intermediate and high-level worlds were unable to reach it. However, this loss was insignificant to Yue Huangquan and his companions.
Thus, because of its timely reaction, Myriad Demons Country narrowly escaped catastrophe. Thereafter, the law enforcers who had gone to the outer domain battlefield also returned one after another, so Ziling and the others naturally had to give up. Although the combined forces of the Crimson Army, Genesis, and Netherworld might not necessarily fear the law enforcers, now was definitely not the time to break with them openly. Besides, with the return of the law enforcers, Ziling needed to immediately head to the outer domain battlefield, or else Chi Ghost, Chi Dragon, Nuwa, and Yi Xuan might not hold on much longer.
Consequently, the battle that nearly altered the divine nation powerscape ended like that. Even though the Heavenly Patrollers discovered that the Annihilation Demon Nation had been obliterated after their return, first, the Demon Nation was no longer a divine nation, and second, the Demon Nation's people had wreaked havoc in the Patrolling Celestial World. So, the Heavenly Patrollers didn't hold too many regular sessions. However, they did send someone to issue warnings to each of the new Six Great Divine Nations. The substance of the warnings was merely that the newly risen divine nations needed to behave, and the established ones mustn't provoke conflicts and so on. Now that all eight Universal Law Enforcers were arrayed together, naturally, no one dared to say much.
As for the Patrolling Celestial World, it had now completely recovered as before, and though the Underworld God Army had lost several key figures, it didn't have much impact; their lives continued in a mechanical fashion as always. Actually, when Qian Yuye and others died, the physical body of the Underworld Venerate was stolen, and the souls stored in those altars also disappeared, leaving the remaining squad leaders of the Underworld God Army nearly ready to give up. They had lost all their reason to exist. However, the Spirit Controller, not wanting the Heavenly Patroller to discover the changes in the Patrolling Celestial World and their own plans, successfully bribed and threatened the remaining squad leaders into cooperation.
And, he forged a duplicate of the Underworld Venerate's physical body that, both visually and upon inspection, was identical to the original. However, the duplicate was only created by the Spirit Controller through soul absorption and flesh coagulation, with the intention to deceive the Heavenly Patrollers. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Patrollers discovered the missing body of the Underworld Venerate in the Patrolling Celestial World, they'd undoubtedly be furious. The body of the Underworld Venerate was their last hope in upgrading this universe; if anything went wrong, the Heavenly Patrollers might kill the Spirit Controller in a rage.
But ultimately, this was a deception, and although there might be no issues under the supervision of the Spirit Controller, once the next law enforcer took over, the matters of the Patrolling Celestial World would definitely be exposed. Thus, the Spirit Controller knew his time was limited. He needed to find a way to destroy the Patrolling Celestial World or kill all the Underworld God Army before someone else took over the oversight of the Patrolling Celestial World so that the other enforcers could be cast out of this universe.
Therefore, after the selection phase of the Six Kingdoms War and the trials of the Patrolling Celestial World, the new Six Great Divine Nations had been established, and various rewards and punishments had been distributed. The universe once again entered a brief period of peace, with all forces silently striving hard to develop and prepare. Because the Six Great Divine Nations knew that soon, Fallen Tomb would open, and that would usher in a fierce battle. Moreover, many others also had their eyes set on Fallen Tomb, and that moment could very well be when this universe turns over. If the Crimson Army, the Netherworld World, the Genesis Divine Nation, and other divine nations plotting to unite decide to engage in a great revolution, the next opening of Fallen Tomb would be the perfect opportunity!
But for Sun Wukong, none of this had much effect. He had devoted all his energy and attention to his master and brothers, or rather, on this new westward journey. Though this time there were no divine or Buddhist obstructions, no ninety-nine eighty-one tribulations, and no messy demons, this journey would definitely not be easier than the last one, but was bound to be even more arduous. If they wished to reach the Ancient Primordial World successfully, it took more than just travel; they had to continuously enhance their strength, otherwise, reaching the Ancient Primordial World would be impossible.
After reaching Buddha's Pure Land, following that initial little episode, Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Sha Wujing, and White Dragon followed the young monk of the Buddha-worshipping Sect to the monastery. And Zhu Bajie quickly caught up. Seeing Zhu Bajie's smug and comfortable expression, Sun Wukong couldn't help but tease, "Blockhead, how did it go? Didn't manage to beat them, did you?" Zhu Bajie patted his big belly and said, "If I couldn't even handle a guy who was scared out of his wits, what face would I have claiming I once was under the Jade Emperor? I'd be letting down this rake of mine!"
"I knew Second Brother must have won. That guy might have the same cultivation as Second Brother, but after being scared by First Brother, he'd be lucky to use half his strength. But Second Brother, fighting is fighting, you shouldn't have taken their..." Before Sha Wujing could finish, Zhu Bajie covered his mouth, then glancing over at their master and seeing that he was chatting with the young monk and hadn't heard, Zhu Bajie then wrapped an arm around Sha Wujing's shoulder and slowed their pace, whispering, "Old Sha, what if the master had heard you just now? Wouldn't I get scolded again? Am I the kind of person who's greedy for wealth? I just took his waist token; the guy looked like he had a high status, it might come in handy later on!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing immediately nodded, "Second Brother is worthy indeed. Here I thought you couldn't resist the gold and jade inlaid on the waist token. I remember how you used to hide your money everywhere!" At this point, White Dragon chuckled and patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder, saying, "Well, Second Brother, taking his waist token may be justified, but you even stripped the guy of his shoes, now that's going too far!"
Zhu Bajie's face turned a rare shade of red as he said, "I, the grand Zhu Bajie under the Jade Emperor, was wearing worse shoes than that guy; I couldn't stand it unless I took them. Just don't tell Master and First Brother." White Dragon then smiled and rubbed his hands together, the intent clear. Knowing he couldn't quiet White Dragon without 'bleeding' a bit, Zhu Bajie reluctantly fished out a string of jade Buddha beads from his chest and said, "This was the guy's magic artifact; he was so scared by First Brother that he didn't even bring it out before I beat him to crying for his daddy and mommy. Here, take this, but you have to keep it secret for me!"
White Dragon happily took it and then said, "You still owe Third Brother his share; you can't be unfair." Zhu Bajie sighed and fished out a small wooden bowl from his chest and handed it to Sha Wujing, saying, "I don't know what this is for, but I'm sure it's valuable. Old Sha, don't say Second Brother hasn't been good to you!" Wujing gladly took the wooden bowl, looking quite pleased with it, before tucking it into his chest.
Zhu Bajie was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder, and Sun Wukong's voice followed, "No share of the spoils for me? I'll take that wooden fish, thanks Second Brother!" Having said that, Sun Wukong reached out and hooked the wooden fish, which flew out from Zhu Bajie's wide sleeve and landed in Sun Wukong's hand. Zhu Bajie, seeing the wooden fish taken by Sun Wukong, immediately grew furious and yelled, "You plague-stricken monkey, only picking the valuable stuff!" This shout caught the attention of Tang Sanzang ahead, who turned around and asked, "Bajie? What's wrong?"
Zhu Bajie saw the master looking back at him and quickly put his hands behind his back, saying, "Nothing, Master, I was just joking with First Brother, right, First Brother?" Saying that, he winked frantically at Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong smiled and nodded, "It's nothing, Master, I just found a pretty stone on the ground. You and the little master carry on chatting, carry on!" Tang Sanzang nodded and turned back to continue talking with the young monk about the Buddha-worshipping Sect.
Zhu Bajie let out a sigh of relief and then looked at Sun Wukong with a pitiful face, "Brother Monkey, you can't do this to me. I fought that guy with life and limb, getting injured in the process, at least leave me some spoils of war?" Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Bajie with disdain and said, "Look at you, no ambition. That wooden fish, although not bad, is rubbish in my eyes; you think I actually want it?"
Zhu Bajie pouted and stretched out his hand behind his back, saying, "If you look down on it, why did you snatch it from me? Give it back!" Sun Wukong ignored him and patted Zhu Bajie's wide palm, saying, "Watch closely, this is what First Brother is giving you, now that's a treasure!" With those words, Sun Wukong's hand quickly lifted, and suddenly a flame erupted on Zhu Bajie's hand. The flame, golden yellow, looked like flowing liquid gold, simply dazzling.
Zhu Bajie's eyes widened at the sight of the flame, and he was humming and hawing, trying to say something but couldn't, until Sha Wujing smacked the back of his head. Zhu Bajie finally blurted out, "Brother Monkey, I swear I really love you to death!"(The novel "Great Demon Sun Wukong" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there is also a 100% chance to win a big prize!
