Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Damn it!"

Huangfu Qiang's expression changed for a moment. He gritted his teeth forcefully and shouted loudly, "Everyone from the Sky-shaking Cliff, stop fighting, retreat to the mountain!"

"Stop! Cease the battle!"

Huangfu Qiang gave the order to cease fire, and the Battle God Monkey Emperor also immediately issued the command to stop. Everyone halted and separated from each other.

"Ape Emperor, I hope you won't regret today's decision!"

Huangfu Qiang glared coldly at the Battle God Monkey Emperor, snorted coldly, then turned and rode the cloud towards the direction of Sky-shaking Cliff, followed by all the masters of Sky-shaking Cliff.

"Is he finally gone?"

The Battle God Monkey Emperor's tense body relaxed instantly. He put away the big stick in his hand and gestured to the people behind him, and immediately several scouts flew to his side.

"Go! Find out the situation in the Demon Court, as detailed as possible!"

"Yes, Emperor Ape!"

The scouts responded and flew towards the Tianlan Mountain Range, quickly disappearing without a trace.

"Emperor Ape, the scouts from Sky-shaking Cliff just said that the Demon Court was breached, but they didn't find anyone from the Demon Court. Could it be that Wukong and the others teleported to somewhere else before the Demon Court was breached?"

Divine General Yuan Long came to the side of the Battle God Monkey Emperor, with a hint of worry between his brows, "That girl Yuan Bing must be with Wukong and the others now, I wonder how they are?"

"There's nothing to worry about. No news is the best news. Whether Wukong and the others teleported away or have some other plans, in any case, the people from the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team only destroyed the sect of the Demon Court and didn't harm any of the Demon Court's people! An empty sect gate, destroyed as it is, is nothing to regret. As long as the people are still there, the sect can be rebuilt!"

The Battle God Monkey Emperor laughed coldly, "But next time, the Undying Celestial Demon Clan won't be able to bring out the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team!"

"What you say is true, Emperor Ape!"

Divine General Yuan Long also laughed, "This time, the Undying Celestial Demon Clan suffered a great loss. They mobilized the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team, yet didn't harm even a single person from the Demon Court. They have lost face to an unbelievable degree!"

"That's not the most crucial thing!"

The Battle God Monkey Emperor shook his head and said, "After this battle, the undefeated myth of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team is completely shattered, and their effort is likely wasted. By the time they return to the Undying Demon Domain, they won't be able to come out again this era. Even if the Undying Celestial Demon Clan faces an existential crisis, they still won't be able to help! If they force their way out to help, ha, their Undying Body will turn into a Mortal Body!"

"Let's go! It's time to return to Battle God Mountain!"

"What about the information gathered by the scouts..."

"It's the same if we wait at Battle God Mountain. Wukong and the others must be fine, there will be news sooner or later!"

...

The Heavenly Demon Judgment Team broke through the Demon Court's sect gate, but didn't capture anyone, only flattening an empty sect. This news spread like a gale throughout the entire Yuan Realm, and everyone was discussing the whereabouts of Sun Wukong and others from the Demon Court. Various major powers also sent disciples to investigate, but nowhere in any city could they find the whereabouts of the Demon Court's people.

As if overnight, the people of the Demon Court completely disappeared from the Yuan Realm.

The Heavenly Demon Judgment Team searched throughout the Yuan Realm for a while, but eventually gave up and returned to the Undying Demon Domain full of disappointment. The Heavenly Prince, accompanied by the Left Envoy Qian Tian and the Right Envoy Kun Du, also returned to Heavenly Demon City. It's said that the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor was furious, almost abolishing the Heavenly Prince's cultivation. Although he spared the Heavenly Prince in the end, the position of heir to the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor has become precarious, and it's likely hard to hold onto!

Sun Wukong and others from the Demon Court completely vanished from the Yuan Realm, with no trace ever emerging again. However, everyone in the Yuan Realm has a premonition that when the Demon Court reappears, it will certainly be earth-shattering, causing a tremor throughout the Yuan Realm!

...

Within the Heavenly Que Mirror, after three whole days of waiting, Sun Wukong finally met with the masters of the Three Realms Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, including Zi Xia Fairy.

Ascending the Yuan Realm is a significant event. Any strong individual reaching the Quasi-Saint Realm is eager to ascend to the Yuan Realm, so Zi Xia Fairy had quite a headache when arranging the candidates to guard the Three Realms Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

In the end, it was the Through-Arm Ape Monkey, Sun Wushuang, who came up with a feasible method, drawing lots from among those who had reached the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm. Whoever drew the lot stayed to continue guarding the Three Realms Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

Afterwards, each time a new Heavenly Dao Saint emerged in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, they succeeded in guarding the Heavenly Court, and during that period, other strong individuals who reached the Quasi-Saint Realm could ascend to the Yuan Realm through the Two Realms Passage.

If no one reached the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm for a long time, regardless of how many people broke through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, none could ascend. They had to wait until a new Heavenly Dao Saint was born.

This approach is perhaps the most effective, ensuring a continual emergence of Heavenly Dao Saints in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court. No one would deliberately slow down their cultivation progress in order to ascend to the Yuan Realm.

This time, the one guarding the Three Realms Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is the Bull Demon King. Old Bull was unlucky, wandering in the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm for so many years, he could almost be considered the strongest among the Heavenly Dao Saints remaining in the Three Realms Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, yearning to ascend to the Yuan Realm. But as soon as he drew the lot, alas, he hit it.

There's no choice but to guard in the Three Realms for some more years. Only when the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court gives birth to a new Heavenly Dao Saint can the Bull Demon King ascend to the Yuan Realm through the Two Realms Passage.

Of course, before that, Bull Demon King may further reach the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm. But even if he truly reaches that realm, he still can't ascend to the Yuan Realm; he must continue guarding within the Three Realms.

"Poor Bull Second Brother, really, truly..."

Sun Wukong couldn't find words to describe the Bull Demon King. To be this unlucky is almost defying the heavens. Drawing lots kept the most unlikely Bull Demon King behind, but a rule is a rule. Once everyone agreed and set the rule, it must be executed, even the Bull Demon King cannot be an exception.

Arranging the one to stay behind was just a small episode. Quickly Sun Wukong tossed this matter to the back of his mind. Anyway, with the Two Realms Passage, the Bull Demon King will eventually reach the Yuan Realm, it will just take a bit longer.

The greatest relief for Sun Wukong was that Zi Xia Fairy did not stay in the Three Realms due to drawing lots, and smoothly arrived at the Yuan Realm, otherwise, Sun Wukong would have been driven mad!

After so many years apart, Zi Xia Fairy's cultivation has finally advanced to the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm, although she is just the lowest-ranked Merit Saint among Heavenly Dao Saints, a Saint nevertheless, isn't she?
