Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

(PS: From now on, I'll try to release chapters all at once after midnight. Additionally, I'm planning to start another book. I'll announce the title in a few days, so please support me!)

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor wasn't worried about Sun Wukong at all. From his understanding of Sun Wukong, there's probably no peril in this world that can trap this Heaven-Subverting Monkey. If this Heavenly Que Realm is truly a relic of the Ancient Heavenly Court in the Yuan Realm, it certainly isn't a sinful place. He thought Sun Wukong and his party must have been delayed by something, but they're bound to show up sooner or later.

"With Brother Wukong's capabilities, nothing should happen to him. There's no need to worry!"

Pangu also agreed with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's words. He had realized during their time at the Ancient God Ruins that even though Sun Wukong's cultivation was far inferior to his own, when it came to survival ability, even two of him put together couldn't compare to Sun Wukong. In the Heavenly Que Realm, if there's a place that could threaten Sun Wukong's life, it should be the Main Palace on this golden staircase, not around the surrounding Immortal Island palaces.

Moreover, aside from Sun Wukong, Leng Xuan, and Luo Bai, there are three more people who have yet to appear, so what's the hurry!

"Teacher, let's first ascend this golden staircase and enter the Main Palace to search for treasures. That's the proper thing to do, lest others beat us to it!"

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord spoke and glanced at the other powerful forces not far away. Those who entered the Heavenly Que Realm were not limited to those who ascended from the Three Realms, but other powerful figures as well. They didn't have time to wait around for Sun Wukong to appear. They had to seize the treasures in the Main Palace before others.

"Let's go up and assess the situation first."

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Pangu exchanged glances and stepped onto the golden staircase. As they led the way, the others hesitated no more and followed suit.

Other factions' experts, seeing Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and his group moving, also followed. Even a fool knows that the really valuable treasures are concentrated in the Main Palace, so how could they let others seize them first?

...

In the windy and snowy space, the daylight was fading. The three of Sun Wukong had been on their way and encountered several attacks from ice spike porcupines and octopus monsters, but they were all dealt with by Luo Bai and Leng Xuan in turns. It didn't delay them much.

Still some distance from the lighthouse, Sun Wukong's expression gradually darkened.

"Leng Xuan, Luo Bai, pick up the pace!"

"Monkey King, what's happening?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just hurry!"

Others couldn't see the changes in this ice and snow space, but Sun Wukong could see clearly. As the sun set, a blackish-grey ominous aura spread across the land, undetectable by ordinary eyes but not hidden from Sun Wukong's Void-Breaking Moon Eyes. He sensed an extremely chilling aura from it, and it was rapidly intensifying.

By the time night fully descended, the entire snowy icefield would likely be engulfed by this blackish-grey aura.

The chilling aura most easily attracts evil spirits. By then, the monsters lurking deep in the snowy icefield, originally disliking sunlight, would probably rush out of the snow. With the three of them exuding vigorous qi-blood, they'd become conspicuous targets. The outcome? No need to mention what it would be like.

"Roar~!"

When they were still some miles away from the lighthouse, night finally fell. The snowfield's wind intensified severalfold, becoming chaotic and violent. The roars of beasts began echoing continuously from all around.

Leng Xuan and Luo Bai's expressions changed. Now they understood why Sun Wukong had been urging them to hurry. He'd already known the snowfield at night was a hundred times more dangerous than during the day!

"Boss, so many monsters, look over there!"

Leng Xuan pointed to the right front with a lowered voice, while Luo Bai noticed a large area of monsters on the left front, exuding menacing auras.

"Don't mind them, keep moving. Block any attacks you encounter, but don't stop!"

The monsters appearing now were evidently far stronger than the octopus monsters at the Domain King Realm, yet Sun Wukong was certain these weren't the strongest beasts in this ice and snow space. Just like the Eight-Headed Dragon Turtle in the Lava Sea, the strongest beasts would likely appear last!

And they had to reach the lighthouse before such beasts appeared to escape this dangerous place!

"Clone Technique!"

Sun Wukong naturally hoped these monsters wouldn't notice them too soon, but that seemed impossible now, as many monsters were already closing in on their location.

At this point, they had no time to entangle with these monsters. The External Incarnations were still in the process of being gathered and couldn't be summoned, but it didn't stop Sun Wukong from using the Clone Technique. One clone after another manifested, charging at the incoming monsters, wielding the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod to launch fearless attacks.

"Boom!"

Terrific roaring sounds erupted everywhere. Sun Wukong sprinted relentlessly forward, constantly deploying the Clone Technique to entangle the approaching monsters. His clones only had a tenth of his strength, and naturally couldn't hold off these fierce beasts for long. But Sun Wukong never intended to hold them for long, just needed to buy them enough time to escape.

"Leng Xuan, Luo Bai, activate the teleportation array on the lighthouse. I'll handle the defense here!"

At last, the three reached the lighthouse. As expected from the start, the top of the lighthouse held a massive teleportation array, nearly identical to the one in the Lava Sea, clearly requiring considerable power input to activate.

Sun Wukong shouted at Leng Xuan and Luo Bai, continuously using the Clone Technique. He sent clone after clone rushing from his body towards the attacking beasts.

"Boss, you activate the teleportation array, we'll handle the defense here!"

Luo Bai held the Purple Lightning Blue Glint Sword across his chest and, together with Leng Xuan, shielded Sun Wukong on either side. With a loud shout, they prepared to charge the monster horde but were seized by the shoulders and flung towards the lighthouse by Sun Wukong.

"You defend? How will you defend? Cut the chatter, hurry and activate the array. If we're any later, we'll perish here!"

With a fierce cry, Sun Wukong suddenly enlarged to ten thousand feet in size, shielding the lighthouse and the two behind him solidly.

He used the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth!

"Luo Bai, listen to the boss; only he can hold them off now!"

Leng Xuan gritted his teeth. Sun Wukong had the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth, and the Clone Technique, which neither he nor Luo Bai did. In terms of group combat ability, while Luo Bai wasn't weak, he was still far behind Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was right; only he could fend off these monsters. The best Leng Xuan and Luo Bai could do was to activate the teleportation array as swiftly as possible!
