Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Among the Three Realms, whether it is the Ancient Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, the later Human Heavenly Court, or the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court rebuilt by Sun Wukong, never have there been any restrictions on the number of people to have an audience. Yet, in the audience hall of this Ancient Heavenly Court's Heavenly Que Realm, only eight futons are left, clearly indicating that only eight people can have an audience with the Ancient Heavenly Emperor at a time, not one more!

Indeed, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor has quite the airs!

"No matter how grand, no matter the pomp, did they not all perish in the river of time?"

The Nether River Old Ancestor scoffed disdainfully. He never had any fondness for the Heavenly Court, considering all of its kind to be as black-hearted as a crow. A friendly Demon Emperor like Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, is merely an exception.

"Alright, whether the Ancient Heavenly Emperor has airs or not is irrelevant to us; they are all deceased, so why make comments about them now?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor slightly frowned, halting the crowd's chatter and redirected the topic to the futons, "If my conjecture is right, only by sitting on these futons can one qualify to enter the hall ahead. But there are only eight futons in total, who goes first, and who follows?"

"About this..."

The crowd looked at each other, uncertain.

"Why bother with such complications? Let me just blast this door open!"

The Yama Heavenly Son coldly huffed as he stepped forward, a flash of light in his hand as he summoned the Slashing World Gold Wheel, which swiftly rotated to slice towards the door.

In terms of sheer cutting power, the Slashing World Gold Wheel of the Yama Heavenly Son was even superior to the Qingping Sword of the Leader of Tongtian. Even if there were prohibitions and restraints guarding this door, it likely wouldn't be able to withstand the full cutting force of the Slashing World Gold Wheel!

Furthermore, it seems the Ancient Heavenly Emperor never imagined that one day someone would ignore his set rules about sitting on the futons for an audience and instead directly attack the door?

Boom!

The Slashing World Gold Wheel collided fiercely with the door of the hall, emitting a piercing grinding sound. The prohibitions and restraints on the door revealed themselves, only to be sliced in half by the Slashing World Gold Wheel, offering no resistance whatsoever.

After cutting through the prohibitions, the Slashing World Gold Wheel embedded into the hall's door, which shimmered with dazzling light. Yet, as the Yama Heavenly Son anticipated, it could not withstand the force of the Slashing World Gold Wheel and was soon carved into a massive hole!

Swish!

The Slashing World Gold Wheel spun back into the hand of the Yama Heavenly Son, a subtle smirk on his lips, and a flash of triumph in his eyes as he charged towards the hole created by the Slashing World Gold Wheel.

"Wait!"

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, who had been coldly observing everything, rarely spoke during the journey. Yet at this moment, he abruptly dashed forward, extending his God-Slaying Spear to block the Yama Heavenly Son. Just as the Yama Heavenly Son paused, countless circular bladed edges suddenly appeared close to the door, flashing madly with an edge so sharp it sent chills down the spine.

The Yama Heavenly Son, intercepted by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, was about to react with his raised sword-like brows but changed his expression upon seeing the scene. Had the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu not stopped him, one more step forward might have led him to be cut by these circular blades!

The terrifying cutting force within these blades is likely no weaker than his Slashing World Gold Wheel!

Besides, the Yama Heavenly Son had a feeling that the cutting force of these circular blades bore a striking similarity to his Slashing World Gold Wheel, as if they were copied versions of it.

"The door of this hall can absorb attack attributes and replicate them! Look, the door is self-repairing!"

Pangu's eyes flashed insight as he pointed to the breach on the door, noting that in just a brief moment, the hole had shrunk to the size of a fist, vanishing entirely the next second, as if it had never been damaged.

"The formation prohibitions on this door are not simple, and with our current strength, it's difficult to break through! To enter, we have to honestly sit on the futons."

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor spoke, and since he said so, the others abandoned the idea of blasting open the hall door. Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's cultivation strength is arguably the strongest among the group, even slightly surpassing Pangu at the moment. If he claims it's unbreakable, then it's unbreakable.

So, the question arises, with only eight futons, who are the eight to go first?

Erlang God Yang Jian and others frowned, looking at each other, aware that entering the hall first offers a much greater chance to acquire rare treasures. It's like being fast is being advantageous!

"You all go first, this Ancestor will follow!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor saw the silent crowd, taking the initiative to give up a spot for the first batch entries.

"This Demon Ancestor is not in a hurry to go in either!"

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hu indeed kept rivaling with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, choosing to remain as well.

"I will also wait to go in later!"

Pangu said, and the Six-Eared Macaque also expressed wanting to wait before entering. Among everyone present, the strength of these four is evidently the highest, surpassing the rest by a significant margin, making it most advisable for them to stay behind!

The team of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor now has fourteen members in total, needing six to remain behind and wait for the next chance to enter. Undoubtedly, those staying must be among the strongest, or else they may not be able to withstand attempts from the group allied under the Heavenly Prince, numbering over ten, who seem to have formed alliances. If they seize the opportunity to attack after the first eight enter, lacking strength could lead to downfall!

The first group of strong figures passing through the Heavenly Que Realm's door consisted of just over twenty people, aside from Sun Wukong's seventeen. Other forces only accounted for ten, though later when they dispersed to search the various Immortal Island palaces, over ten strong figures united to pass through the Heavenly Que Realm's door. Thus, there are eighteen elite figures present in this second hall, and while Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's team does not greatly differ in numbers when not dispersed, if divided to enter, those staying behind may face the risk of being surrounded.

Only the strongest must stay to handle the situation with ease!

"We'll also stay for the next round!"

Divine General Yuan Long and Demon General Yuan Mo spoke, deciding to remain behind as well. Despite having self-sealed their Domain Emperor level strength, they are still much stronger than typical Domain King strong figures. Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others nodded without objection.

"Hold on! Aren't you being too presumptuous? This Prince hasn't agreed, who authorized your arrangement of entry sequence?"

Annoyed by the self-serving division by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and their team, the Heavenly Prince retorted angrily, causing other major forces' elite figures to show their discontent. They too are exceptional within the Yuan Realm, never having been disregarded in such a manner!

"You disagree? Perfect, come spar with me. If you win, you can go first!"
