Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 650 - 651 Who Will Subjugate Who Dares to

In the ninth layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, outside the secret chamber, Sun Wukong 2 narrated Deva’s situation to the original himself. Normally, there would’ve been no need to speak, for the experiences of an external incarnation are known to Sun Wukong even within the chamber. The sole purpose of this act was merely to shock Deva, instilling in him reverence and ensuring he wouldn’t harbor any other thoughts in the future.

“We’re all from the Demon Clan; let him stay. However, he must quickly develop a human form, we can’t let the Human Race look down on us anymore! We of the Demon Cult are nobody’s mount, talk to Brother Ksitigarbha and have him released from being a mount!”

Sun Wukong’s voice emerged from the chamber, passing through the walls. With Deva’s ability, he naturally could overhear that the true Sun Wukong was inside, cultivating to repair Zi Xia Fairy’s essence.

Next to Zi Xia Fairy, Qing Xia Fairy was also in a deep slumber. The connection between the two women, as Zi Xia Fairy’s missing soul piece was slowly restored, began to gradually weaken. The moment when Zi Xia Fairy’s soul and spirits were completely mended would be when their essences would finally split!

“Thank you, Great Sage, thank you so much!”

Deva was truly shocked now. Sun Wukong had actually cultivated an external incarnation, and furthermore, one that could exist independently from the original for so long with such formidable power! It was unbelievable!

The slight anxiety that had been lingering in Deva’s heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. With such a Sect Hierarch, the future of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult was undoubtedly bright, with no need to fear the Buddhist Sect or the Heavenly Court!

Since the original had to continue repairing Zi Xia Fairy’s lost divine soul and couldn’t leave the Heaven-Piercing Tower, after settling Deva’s matters, Sun Wukong 2 left Flower-Fruit Mountain, once again catching up to Jiang Liu’er and the others, following them in secret.

If nothing unexpected occurred, Sun Wukong 2 would not intervene in Jiang Liu’er and his disciples’ Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures; they needed to face their own tribulations for their merit to come full circle.

However, Sun Wukong 2 did not let any of the demons they had encountered slip by, secretly capturing them all and bringing them back to Flower-Fruit Mountain. Any demon capable of troubling Yuan Hong and the others on the scripture-seeking journey was no simple creature and, if not as powerful as Yuan Hong, was still considered a formidable expert.

The Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult was in the midst of a great expansion, and there was a strong need for demons of various mid-to-high levels to join. Merely having powerhouses like Sun Wukong was insufficient; if the underlying demon followers weren’t strong, the cult could not develop.

Among these demons, a minority were stray spirits and monsters scattered in desolate mountains and treacherous waters, but the vast majority were the mounts of various Immortals and Gods, sent purely to cash in on the merit, hoping to bask in the glory of the scripture-seeking.

Good intentions aside, Sun Wukong had no intention of letting those Immortals and Gods get what they wanted. If they wanted to send their mounts out to mix in for some merit, then don’t even think about getting them back!

Above in Lingxia Palace.

“Your Majesty, that Great Sage Equalling Heaven is too much! My mount was taken by him, and he forcefully erased our contract, recruited it into the Demon Cult!”

“Mine too!”

“My child was taken away and turned to the Demon Cult!”

A host of immortals and gods lamented to the Jade Emperor, accusing Sun Wukong of taking their beloved beasts and mounts into the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult. They said they missed out on the merit of seeking scriptures and suffered great losses, requesting the Jade Emperor to take charge for them.

“Do you mean to say that Sun Wukong is a great sinner who deserves the death penalty?”

The Jade Emperor’s face was filled with cold indifference as he coldly asked.

The immortals nodded vigorously, loudly proclaiming His Majesty’s wisdom.

“Good, very good!”

The Jade Emperor sneered, “Everyone says that the Demon Monkey Sun Wukong deserves to die, so tell me, who has the power to subdue that Demon Monkey? Who will carry out the execution?”

“This…”

The immortals looked at each other, wondering who could subdue Sun Wukong and who would dare to?

Although Sun Wukong’s recent challenge for the status of Heavenly Dao Saint seemed to be a failure, his dominant performance at the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Spiritual Mountain had likewise spread throughout the Three Realms. Who else could act with such impunity in front of Tathagata Buddha, Ran Deng Buddha, and an assembly of Buddhist Sect experts from Spiritual Mountain?

Probably only the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong himself!

Such a formidable being, such a scourge—who would dare to provoke him unless they no longer cherished their life?

“Your Majesty, we are merely reporting the facts. The final decision rests entirely in Your Majesty’s hands!”

The Star Lord of Literature’s eyes shifted cunningly as he threw the problem back to the Jade Emperor.

They respect you as the emperor because they rely on you. When there’s a problem, of course, it’s up to you to make a decision and solve it. Otherwise, what are you doing sitting on the throne?

That’s what they all thought to themselves, each one staring intently at the Jade Emperor, waiting for him to make a decision. After all, the current Jade Emperor had also reached the Slaying One Corpse Merit Saint Realm and could be considered the true Lord of the Heavenly Court!

“Completely up to me to decide?”

The Jade Emperor scoffed at the immortals before waving his hand dismissively, “Then we shall wait and see how things unfold.”

“What?”

The immortals were shocked. Wait and see how things unfold? So, after all the complaints in the Lingxia Palace, it was all for nothing?

“Your Majesty? Your Majesty!”

The Jade Emperor rose from his dragon throne and left the Lingxia Palace, heading towards the Inner Palace. The immortals looked at each other, their faces all bearing wry smiles. Well, it seemed their grievances were in vain today; the awe-inspiring edge of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, was not to be trifled with, even by the Jade Emperor!

“A bunch of idiots, useless things!”

While heading towards the Inner Palace’s private chambers, the Jade Emperor silently cursed in his heart, “Even the Tathagata tolerated the momentary provocation and didn’t strike at that Demon Monkey, yet here you are, urging me to provoke him, courting discomfort for yourselves? In this age of great conflict, the one who laughs last is the true winner. What does it matter who wins or loses for the moment?”
