Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Heavenly Prince, your Undying Heavenly Demon Clan has always excelled in this aspect. Do you know what method those people use to pass safely?"

Among the group of strong fighters, the only one who remained calm and collected was the Heavenly Prince of the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan. Someone noticed this and queried him.

"This Prince does indeed know, but..."

The Heavenly Prince's lips curved into a sinister, cold smile. "Why should I tell you?"

"Heavenly Prince, isn't this rather unkind? We cooperated to pass through the gate of the Heavenly Que Realm earlier. Now is the time to collaborate again. Since you know the method to pass, why not share it?"

"Exactly! Now those people have joined forces. If we fight alone, what competitiveness do we have? They'll clean out all the good things!"

The Heavenly Prince's words stirred discontent among the strong fighters. All of them spoke up to persuade the Heavenly Prince to reveal the method of passing.

"What a joke!"

The Heavenly Prince laughed heartily, "When did my Undying Heavenly Demon Clan have to resort to collaboration with others? The brief alliance entering the Heavenly Que Realm was forced; now, within the main hall, each relies on their own abilities!"

Seeing the expressions of the strong fighters around him grow increasingly grim, the Heavenly Prince paused and then suddenly changed his tone, "Of course, it's not entirely impossible for this Prince to tell you, but what can you offer? In this world, everything has a price. You wouldn't tell the method for free, would you?"

"This..."

"What do you want?"

The Heavenly Prince's words made the strong fighters frown immediately. They initially intended to use their forces to coerce the Heavenly Prince to reveal the method of passing. However, it seemed this tactic wouldn't work on him. If he was determined not to speak, they dared not overly force him, as the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan is one of the two major Imperial Clans among the Demon Clan. If word got out, endless troubles would ensue!

Furthermore, the Heavenly Prince's strength was not weak. These strong fighters couldn't be absolutely sure of detaining him, so it was better to negotiate.

"Very simple! An oath, a promise! You all must swear to owe this Prince a favor; if this Prince needs, you must unconditionally assist me in competing for the treasure I have my eyes on in the Heavenly Que Realm. Then I will tell you the method of passing!"

"Impossible!"

The Heavenly Prince's words immediately drew opposition, "Unconditionally helping you seize treasures, then what are we here for? At most — only one treasure!"

"That's right. At most, we'll swear to help you obtain one piece of treasure; everything else we collect on our own merits!"

"Heavenly Prince, if you agree, we'll swear now. Otherwise, don't expect to get through either!"

Strong fighters from various forces surrounded the Heavenly Prince, creating a tense atmosphere, clearly indicating that if the Heavenly Prince didn't agree, they couldn't pass the inner courtyard corridor, nor could he!

"Fine, one treasure it is, this Prince agrees!"

The Heavenly Prince is no fool. For these fighters to agree to assist him in obtaining one treasure is a significant concession. To push further would benefit no one. The Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others have already passed through the inner courtyard corridor, and delaying further here would mean truly losing the initiative!

The Heavenly Prince took out a palm-sized mirror from his bosom, into which he inserted a Dharma Decree. The next moment, under the puzzled eyes of everyone, a beam of light shot out from the mirror, projecting an image two meters above the ground of the Six-Eared Macaque passing through the courtyard corridor.

However, the scene within the image did not show flames and smoke as before but clearly displayed the Six-Eared Macaque using monkey fur clones to attract attacks while transforming into green smoke to pass, every detail visible!

"This, what an ingenious method!"

"Inconceivable, truly astounding!"

The strong fighters of the Yuan Realm are too focused on their own strength and combat techniques, with no research into The Way of Transformation. Seeing the Six-Eared Macaque's transformation technique, they felt deeply moved and amazed, but despite their admiration, each one frowned. They couldn't perform this method of clones and transformations!

"Heavenly Prince, such an ingenious technique is beyond us. Though we know of it, we can't accomplish it. How can we pass that corridor?"

"Yes, Heavenly Prince, if we all can't pass, then fulfilling your oath would be impossible!"

The strong fighters clearly wanted the Heavenly Prince to share and teach them the clone and transformation techniques to help them pass through the courtyard corridor, though none of them openly admitted it.

"Are you suggesting this Prince teach you the clone and transformation techniques? Do you know how precious The Way of Transformation is? Just an oath and you think this Prince would teach you? Do you think this Prince is a fool?"

The Way of Transformation has appeared before in the Yuan Realm but during the Ancient Era. With its annihilation, The Way of Transformation nearly disappeared, and the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan is one of the few to have those techniques still passed down, making it immensely precious. For those fighters to think a few words would cause the Heavenly Prince to publicly share the clone and transformation method — they imagine too grandly!

"Heavenly Prince, can't you see the current situation? If we can't all pass that corridor, who can help you seize the treasure? That group clearly is united. What chance do you have against them?"

The Domain King from the Dark Soul Hall frowned, and others voiced agreement to pressure the Heavenly Prince.

"Stop trying that trick on me! Even without your help, I can still get the treasure myself!"

The Heavenly Prince scoffed coldly, "Want this Prince to teach you The Way of Transformation? Dream on!"

After a pause, without waiting for the fighters to explode, the Heavenly Prince changed his tone, "However, this Prince can take you through so you can fulfill your promise! Whether you want to or not, think about it yourself, this Prince gives you three breaths to decide!"

"This..."

The strong fighters looked at each other. They wanted to use this chance to force the Heavenly Prince to disclose the transformation method passed down by the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan, but they didn't expect the Heavenly Prince to be so alert, refusing to say and instead proposing a method to take them through, making it hard to pressure him further.
