Chapter 1008 Control of the Heavenly Que Realm (1st update!)
A funnel-shaped Magical Treasure slowly revealed its form in the Void, precisely the Space Treasure known as the Space-Time Funnel that formed the Heavenly Que Realm.
This Space-Time Funnel not only creates a hidden small world but can also alter the time flow within it, allowing it to speed up or slow down ten times compared to the outside world at will.
When the Ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed, the time flow in the Space-Time Funnel was ten times slower than the outside world, so while Qin Hao was unconscious in the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm for over half a year, more than five years had already passed outside, unbeknownst to him.
"More than five years have passed, I wonder how the Ancestor and the others are doing? Damn it!"
While refining the Space-Time Funnel, Sun Wukong realized its properties, and his heart sank. There's no secret that can be kept forever. The news of him obtaining the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance must have spread throughout the Yuan Realm, and how the major forces there would react is unpredictable. However, it's evident that it would not favor Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others.
"No, I must refine this Space-Time Funnel quickly and get out of here!"
Thinking this, Sun Wukong accelerated his refining of the Space-Time Funnel, injecting Chaos Primordial Force into it without reservation. First, he adjusted the time flow from ten times slower to ten times faster than the outside, which, while unable to reclaim the lost time, could at least minimize future time loss.
After three days, Sun Wukong finally completely refined the Space-Time Funnel. Holding the Space-Time Funnel, Sun Wukong suddenly felt as if the entire Heavenly Que Realm was under his control. With a thought, his form disappeared from the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Realm and appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's throne.
This is the true Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance, not some powerful Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts, nor a surge in Cultivation Strength, but absolute control over the entire Heavenly Que Realm!
By activating the Space-Time Funnel, Sun Wukong could appear anywhere in the Heavenly Que Realm at any time and enter or exit it freely, no longer bound by the ten-thousand-year time limit!
Speaking of the ten-thousand-year time limit, previously, the Heavenly Que Realm's time flow was ten times slower than the outside world. When ten thousand years passed outside, only a thousand years elapsed inside the Heavenly Que Realm, so the passage of time wasn't as significant as imagined.
"It's time to leave!"
Activating the Space-Time Funnel, a mass of Space-Time Power enveloped Sun Wukong and directly transported him out of the Heavenly Que Realm.
Unlike entering through the gate of the Heavenly Que Realm, this time Sun Wukong was directly transported to a platform outside the gate, a separate space, in front of which lay a starry sky, seemingly on the celestial heavens above the Yuan Realm.
However, now that Sun Wukong had refined the Space-Time Funnel, he had a considerable understanding of the Heavenly Que Realm. He knew that this starry sky was actually part of a separate space so that any fall from the platform into the starry sky would result in being randomly transported to various continents of the Yuan Realm.
Of course, this random transport applied only to others. For Sun Wukong, he could specify the transport location of the continent, such as the Eastern Continent by the Xuan Sha Sea, while the other Three Continents and One Region are at their respective transport light pillars.
Sun Wukong naturally chose Xuan Sha Sea for his transport, thinking that Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others would also be on the Eastern Continent.
With a slight leap, Qin Hao jumped into the starry sky. In a flash of light, he disappeared into the starry sky, transported to the Xuan Sha Sea.
"He's appeared!"
A considerable number of people were stationed by the Xuan Sha Sea, dispatched by various major forces, with the sole purpose of discovering Sun Wukong's return at the earliest moment!
Not only at the Xuan Sha Sea of the Eastern Continent but the transport light pillar areas of the other Three Continents and One Region are also occupied by forces, all with the sole aim of discovering Sun Wukong first!
Though more than five years had passed since the news of Sun Wukong obtaining the Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance spread, during these years, Sun Wukong never appeared in the Yuan Realm. Instead, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others established a new force, the Demon Court, in Sun Wukong's name.
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others considered using the name of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, but since Sun Wukong hadn't finished receiving the Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance, doing so would inevitably make them targets. A united attack could easily result in failure, so after some deliberation, they simplified and temporarily named the force Demon Court.
The emergence of a new force would invariably provoke challenges from surrounding forces, particularly as it was established by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others, which left the major forces of the Eastern Continent dissatisfied.
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others had obtained substantial cultivation resources from these forces. Having obtained advancements from the Heavenly Que Realm and left the original sects, these forces were naturally frustrated!
During these five years, various forces continuously challenged them, some under the guise of seeking justice, only to be unceremoniously repelled by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others.
"The Demon Court doesn't court trouble, nor do we fear it. Anyone wishing to step on us will be met with our strongest defense!"
This was the Demon Court's proclamation to the outside world, and indeed, they acted upon it, with Sky-shaking Cliff being the first to be repelled!
The Wu Family of Sky-shaking Cliff already had old grievances with Sun Wukong. Since Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others were aligned with Sun Wukong and the Demon Court was established under his name, Sky-shaking Cliff naturally sought a reckoning, attacking with full force to catch the Demon Court off guard.
However, they gained nothing, instead receiving a harsh lesson from the likes of the Six-Eared Macaque and others, without the strongest ones like Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, Pangu, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hu even intervening. The attackers from Sky-shaking Cliff were utterly defeated and retreated, wishing they had more legs to escape.
After Sky-shaking Cliff, East Barbarian City, Myriad Ghost City, and Divine Sword Sect also suffered losses against the Demon Court, prompting other forces inclined to move against them to hold back, refraining from large-scale assaults while occasionally attempting to hinder the Demon Court's development in smaller ways.
The Demon Court was content with the quiet and adopted a closed-door policy, not rushing to expand externally but secretly developing on their territory, awaiting Sun Wukong's completion of the Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance from the Heavenly Que Realm.
The intentions of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others were clear to the sect masters and elders of the major powers, who were not foolish and guessed as much, deploying their disciples to the Xuan Sha Sea. They weren't limited to the Xuan Sha Sea but also sent people to the transport points of the other Three Continents and One Region, simply waiting for Sun Wukong to appear!
