Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

A faint sound came, and the ice bullet went straight into the ice mountain. In the next moment, the ice mountain, tens of thousands of feet high, silently collapsed and turned into flat ground, making Sun Wukong's eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

The destructive power contained in the ice bullet from the dragon fish was truly astounding. If it hit, even the Chaos Battle Body might not withstand it. Fortunately, it bounced off just now!

Opening his mouth to suck, the blood essence spurted out was reabsorbed by Sun Wukong into his body. Every drop of blood in his Chaos Battle Body is extremely precious, especially the essence contained in the blood, which is the source of his strength and cannot be wasted!

Seeing Sun Wukong deflect the ice bullet, a look of surprise flashed in the monster dragon fish's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a fierce look. It opened its mouth again and spat out three ice bullets, shooting toward Sun Wukong in a triangular formation.

The monster dragon fish's attack method seemed quite straightforward, like the Eight-Headed Dragon Turtle, only knowing to spit out light beam attacks, but their power was extremely strong. Sun Wukong deflected one ice bullet and was shaken to the point of spewing blood, and now three are coming, isn't that wanting his life?

"Boss, the array is about to activate, come quickly!"

Just as Sun Wukong made up his mind to risk his life fighting, Leng Xuan's urgent shout came from behind. Sun Wukong was delighted in his heart, immediately abandoning the mind to resist and instantly unleashed the Divine Power Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth. The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod stretched towards the lighthouse's top at will, held by Leng Xuan, then abruptly shortened, carrying Sun Wukong's body straight up to the top of the lighthouse and landed in the Teleportation Array.

Boom!

The three ice bullets lost their target, crashing onto the lighthouse, instantly shattering the entire lighthouse into pieces. The array at the top of the lighthouse fell down from ten thousand feet in the air, while the figures of Sun Wukong and the other two disappeared in a flash of bright light, teleported away.

"Ang~!"

An angry dragon roar sounded from the monster dragon fish's mouth, furious that Sun Wukong and the others escaped under its nose. The dragon fish was extremely angry, raging wildly across the Ice Field Snowland, scaring the surrounding monsters to flee like panicked beasts, hiding far away, all burrowing under the ice field to avoid it.

Suddenly, the monster dragon fish seemed to sniff something, abruptly turned its head to look towards the Ice Field Snowland from where Sun Wukong had come, its eyes filled with a cruel murderous light, and swiftly charged out at a terrifying speed completely incongruent with its size. In that direction, Kun Yang, the Saint King, was rushing full speed following the roar.

Before long, a series of terrifying rumbles sounded on the ice field, interspersed with several screams. Soon, everything returned to calm...

In a grand palace, a colorful light shot down from the array at the dome, and the figures of Sun Wukong and the other two appeared on the palace hall floor, transmitted from the Ice Field Snowland.

"That was close, almost lost my life there. Domain Saint Realm monsters are terrifying, each more scary than the last. I don't want to encounter such creatures again!"

Luo Bai looked around and then sat down on the ground, appearing exhausted and still frightened. Leng Xuan and Sun Wukong's foreheads were also covered in cold sweat, similarly alarmed.

Whether it was the Lava Sea or Ice Field Snowland, both times they escaped at the last critical life-or-death moments. Experiencing such edge-of-the-knife situations a couple more times, no one could take it!

"Coming back to the palace, that special spatial trial should be over. I, old Sun, think this looks like a bedroom; we should be deep within the palace now."

Sun Wukong, previously struck by an ice bullet and spitting blood, suffered some internal injury, while Luo Bai and Leng Xuan consumed considerable energy activating the Teleportation Array. After confirming no danger, they all meditated for a while to heal and finally recovered. Sun Wukong inspected the surroundings and smiled, breathing a big sigh of relief.

"Monkey Brother, are you saying we're about to find the treasure?"

Luo Bai's eyes lit up, suddenly rejuvenated, jumping up from the ground. "Where's the treasure?"

"Don't look at me, I don't know!"

Leng Xuan disdainfully waved his hand; Luo Bai's greed was showing glaringly—how did he not notice Luo Bai was so money-hungry before?

"The treasure should be on the platform ahead, but be careful; there might be mechanisms here. Let's not survive the big storms only to capsize in this ditch!"

Sun Wukong pointed to the platform atop the stairs inside the main hall of the bedroom. The rest of the room seemed straightforward; if there were treasures, he would have noticed long ago. Only the platform on the steps had not been checked. If any treasure were stored here, it would be atop the platform.

Luo Bai originally rushed toward the platform. Hearing Sun Wukong's advice, he awkwardly withdrew his steps and looked back at Sun Wukong, scratching his head. "Monkey Brother, why don't you go first? Your eyes are better; if there's any mechanism, you can spot it promptly, right?"

"Now you're scared? You seemed pretty eager just now?"

Leng Xuan teased from the side, and Luo Bai glared hard at him. "If you're not scared, you go first!"

"Let's go up together."

Sun Wukong chuckled, shaking his head and ignoring Luo Bai and Leng Xuan's jokes, first stepping onto the stairs.

The stairs here, similar to those in front of the Heavenly Que Realm main palace, are made of gold, but much shorter than those towering stairs. Sun Wukong and the other two climbed the steps carefully, one by one, without encountering any traps or mechanisms, and soon reached the platform.

This looked like a bedroom, with a beautifully crafted bed, a wooden table for tea, a couch, and some ordinary decorations, but no sign of any treasure.

"Damn it! All this time and there's nothing! A loss, such a big loss!"

After careful searching and finding no treasures, Luo Bai and Leng Xuan revealed disappointed expressions. Luo Bai especially sat on the bed dispiritedly, annoyedly tapping the edge of the bed.

Snap!

Suddenly, as if Luo Bai triggered some mechanism, a crisp snap sounded, and the screen at the bed's edge suddenly parted, revealing three strange circular patterns. Sun Wukong and the other two exchanged glances, then stood up abruptly.
