Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Nezha stared defiantly at the Domain King of the Dark Soul Hall, a Crimson Flame Dragon Spear appearing in his hand, with a blazing flame burning at the spearhead: "If you're discontented, face me in a fight first! There are too many noisy flies entering this hall anyway, losing one or two is welcome!"

"You!"

The Dark Soul Hall expert felt raging anger but didn't dare to really fight. Outside, he definitely wouldn't tolerate such disrespectful provocation from a junior like Nezha, but the situation here was different. Nezha had many powerful allies, while he was alone, outnumbered and isolated!

If they start fighting, who can ensure Nezha's companions won't intervene? If they join and attack together, it's hard for fists to fight against so many hands. No matter how strong he was, how many could he withstand?

Endure, he had to endure!

"Humph! Ignorant junior, I won't bother with you!"

Leaving a diplomatic remark, the expert from Dark Soul Hall turned and walked aside, unable to provoke but able to avoid. As long as there's green mountains left, there's no worry about firewood. Once he obtained treasures from the Heavenly Que Realm, he'd settle the score with this brat!

"Such a coward!"

Nezha snorted disdainfully, ignoring the Domain King of the Dark Soul Hall, instead focusing on the Six-Eared Macaque at the end of the central hallway, raising his voice to ask, "Six-Ears, how did you get through safely?"

The Six-Eared Macaque did not respond, leaving everyone puzzled, when suddenly a Divine Sense transmission echoed in the ears of Nezha and his companions, including the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, Cold General Yuan Bing of the Battle God Ape Clan, Divine General Yuan Long, and Demon General Yuan Mo, excluding others:

"It's actually simple, these Mechanical Puppets' attacks are indeed formidable; no one can withstand them head-on, but by using the clever method of transformation, one can easily bypass them. Earlier, I merely lost a clone made from monkey hair."

"So that's how it is!"

Nezha and the others realized, each showing a knowing smile. The enemy is strong, but not versed in the Way of Transformation, making them not too difficult to handle. They had overcomplicated the situation!

"Hey, knowing it's this easy, what's there to worry about! I'm going first!"

Nezha spoke, carrying the Crimson Flame Dragon Spear as he rushed into the central hallway. Sure enough, the golden-armored statues on either side came alive again, launching fierce attacks at Nezha.

However, Nezha had already been warned by the Six-Eared Macaque and at the moment before the attacks reached him, he split out a clone to attract all the attacks. The real body turned into blue smoke and zipped across the floor, crossing the central hallway at high speed, appearing next to the Six-Eared Macaque, exchanging palm strikes with the Six-Eared Macaque, and leisurely took a seat on the stairs.

The smoke and dust dissipated, leaving Nezha unscathed at the end of the central hallway. The smile on Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others' faces grew even more radiant. The Six-Eared Macaque was indeed right—if one knows the way of transformation, even Domain Kings and Domain Marshals can easily pass through the central hallway!

"This time it's my turn!"

Erlang God Yang Jian stepped forward, followed closely by Yama Heavenly Son, "Together!"

Amidst the same overwhelming attacks, with the smoke and dust gone, the two appeared at the staircase at the end of the central hallway.

"I'm next!"

"My turn!"

One after another, The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and the others passed through the central hallway, the attacks of the golden-armored statues becoming the best cover. Aside from these individuals, others couldn't discern the method used to pass through the central hallway.

"What's going on? How did all those guys get across one by one?"

"There must be some trick, or else how could they pass without a scratch, so easily?"

"Damn! The first one definitely relayed the method to them, and they have no plan to share it with us, they're hoarding it!"

The experts from other factions couldn't sit still, seeing more people making it through, leaving only four: Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, Cold General Yuan Bing, Divine General Yuan Long, Demon General Yuan Mo.

"Elder Hong Jun, what does performing the transformation technique actually mean?"

The people of the Yuan Realm have hardly researched the Way of Transformation. Even those who can transform do so instinctively, usually only changing their original form, and lack clones. Although the Battle God Ape Clan boasts strong combat power, they also lack in this aspect, nowhere near Sun Wukong's prowess in myriad transformations.

Seeing that hardly anyone was left, Divine General Yuan Long grew anxious and hurriedly sought advice from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor through divine sense, fearing that once Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor also passed through, they'd only be left to watch!

"You don't understand?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was slightly surprised, then recalled that he hadn't seen the Battle God Ape Clan perform transformations. He had assumed the ape clan was adept at such skills!

"Actually, it's simple, I'll teach you."

The technique of transformation isn't a high-level spell; the people of the Yuan Realm had simply never encountered it, thus didn't understand it. Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor had no intent to hide it, as Sun Wukong was now confirmed as part of the Battle God Ape Clan and may succeed as the Battle God Ape Emperor. Even if he didn't teach them now, Sun Wukong would teach them later, so why not offer this favor now?

With that, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor extended a finger, swiftly tapping the foreheads of Divine General Yuan Long and the other two, imparting the transformation technique directly through divine sense.

"Such a clever method; though simple and easy to understand, it's truly wondrous!"

Divine General Yuan Long and the others closed their eyes to comprehend for a moment, then reopened them with excitement and gratitude, bowing deeply to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor—such teaching warrants the honor of calling him teacher!

"No need for formality, it's not a precious technique. Even if I didn't teach it today, Wukong would instruct you someday! In the Way of Transformation, he surpasses the teacher and is more skilled than me!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor smiled lightly and said, "Let's go!"

Divine General Yuan Long and the others responded affirmatively, wasting no time and followed Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor onto the central hallway. The golden-armored statues' attack came again, and the three used the transformation technique taught by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor to produce a clone and absorbed all incoming attacks, while their real bodies zipped through as blue smoke, successfully reaching the end of the central hallway.

"What do we do? All those guys are through; what are our options?"

"How exactly did they get across without a single scratch?"

"Damn those selfish bastards!"

With Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the others having crossed over, experts from other factions became anxious.
