Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 901 - 786: One Chinese Hour
Chapter 901 -786: One Chinese Hour
Regarding why he didn’t die but resurrected, Sun Wukong wasn’t surprised or confused. In fact, after he was defeated by the Primordial Honor, he remained conscious, aware of Ye Zi’s arrival and everything that happened afterwards to save him. However, his injuries were so severe that he could only lie there as a spectator. Now, he has resurrected, and it’s in an unprecedented peak state. Sun Wukong doesn’t know his current situation, but he knows he’s gotten stronger. It feels as though all his potential has been unleashed.
“Sun Wukong is right, the Primordial Honor isn’t dead, and will soon appear, in a much stronger form.” The Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent arrived at some unknown time, with nine heads gazing at Sun Wukong. “I was just a step too late, otherwise things wouldn’t be like this. The Primordial Honor, having obtained the Spirit, is so powerful that we can’t contend with it.” Having comprehended the power of destiny, the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent sensed the little monkey’s fate long ago, thus discovering the Primordial Honor’s plan, yet still arrived a step too late, as the Primordial Honor has already obtained the Spirit.
“What’s going on exactly? Wasn’t the Primordial Honor already dead? The Demon Spirit Butcher’s consciousness has recovered.” Sun Wukong healed, and the Flame God was naturally unharmed as well, though slightly pale, but basically okay. Sun Wukong used the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes to probe the Flame God’s body, apologetically saying, “Sorry about this, Flame God.” The Flame God, unconcerned, smiled and replied, “You’re overthinking it, I’m an Immortal Fire Phoenix, I can’t die. So what’s really happening?” Sun Wukong nodded and said, “I arrived here eighty years before you all, that’s when I met the little monkey, the Spirit.”
Subsequently, Sun Wukong quickly recounted everything he encountered upon arriving at the Fallen Tomb to everyone, and everyone could still understand what Sun Wukong wanted to express despite his swift telling. “In the third canyon, I fused the first two blooms of the Three Spirits Flower, but didn’t find the third. Later, I discovered the little monkey’s aura is almost identical to the Three Spirits Flower, leading me to guess that the little monkey is indeed the third bloom. Unfortunately, the Spirit I fused is only one-third.”
Sun Wukong finished speaking and glanced at the Nine Headed Serpent, which nodded. Sun Wukong continued, “After Ye Zi and the others appeared, the Primordial Honor should have realized it was at an absolute disadvantage. Continuous battles took a severe toll, and if it continued, it would surely die. So, it set a trap. The Demon Spirit Butcher didn’t devour the Primordial Honor or annihilate its soul and essence as you thought, but rather, the two came to an agreement, a cooperative relationship.” Although a new soul and essence were born from the Primordial Honor’s body after its soul and essence completely separated, they were originally one. In certain situations, they could still be considered as one entity.
The consensus they reached should have been that the Primordial Honor completely released the Divine Sense of the Demon Spirit Butcher, allowing it to capture the little monkey, then have the Primordial Honor’s soul fuse with the monkey. This way, the soul and essence of the Primordial Honor would be reunited, restoring its power to about eighty percent. Then, the Primordial Honor itself would strike and defeat us all. Thus, the resurrected Demon Spirit Butcher, this time, is under the Primordial Honor’s control, rather than Ling Weiyang’s subordinate as before, which explains why the Demon Spirit Butcher attacked Luo Chen and Qian Shang beneath the pit. As for Zhu Bajie, I suspect it might be due to the remnants of control left by the Primordial Honor inside his body, causing Bajie to be controlled; fortunately, the control was weak, otherwise, who knows what could have happened.
Having expounded his conjecture, Sun Wukong glanced at the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent, and it said, “Time’s about up, we’ll discuss the remaining details later. Now, listen, the Primordial Honor’s fusion of the Spirit requires time. Approximately a Chinese hour. During this hour, he’s extremely weak, any of us can easily kill him. So, this is our last chance. We have to find him within this hour, otherwise, we’ll all be the ones to die in the end.”
“For certain reasons, I possess a portion of the power of destiny, so I ask you all to trust me. This one Chinese hour is the key moment deciding life and death for our universe. Split into pairs and start searching the entire Fallen Tomb. Avoid dangerous places—he won’t go there; he’s likely hidden in a very secret location, especially having the little monkey. He’ll undoubtedly choose a place none of us know. Therefore, I hope you all will do your utmost. Once you’ve found something, unleash your spiritual power to inform the others and immediately act.”
After finishing, the Nine Headed Serpent glanced at Zhibei, but seeing Zhibei’s demeanor, it sighed. “Furthermore, those Elixirs have disappeared. I suspect they are also searching for the Spirit. If they find the Primordial Honor and obtain the Spirit, they might not be any better than the Primordial Honor’s fusion of the Spirit.” Initially, the Heavenly Patroller had wanted to summon just the Judge and the Punisher, but later decided to call everyone, allowing them to quietly withdraw while the Divine Nations Alliance was fighting the Demon Spirit Butcher.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong and the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent’s explanation, everyone not only wasn’t surprised but seemed to find it expected. Indeed, the Primordial Honor isn’t easy to kill, and its previous death wasn’t befitting it. No one objected, and those remaining with combat power formed pairs and scattered in all directions. In truth, those still able to fight were fewer than twenty. Forming teams of two, such a small number, wanting to find the Primordial Honor in the entire Fallen Tomb, was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
But fortunately, there’s Ye Zi. Ye Zi remained as a team with Ye Wu, but didn’t leave immediately, instead sitting face-to-face on the ground, and their hands met. Then countless emerald green leaves and branches began growing from their bodies, quickly transforming them into a nearly hundred-meter tall magnificent seven-colored Wutong tree. Feeling this immense Wutong tree, the Flame God paused. This tree gave him a strange feeling, but before he could explore it, Hei Kui pulled him away.
Ye Zi and Ye Wu reverted to their original form. Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang didn’t leave; watching this giant tree, Sun Wukong understood Ye Zi’s plan. To find someone, beyond seeing far, having a multitude is key. Sun Wukong remembers the scene when he first searched for Ye Zi with the Through-back Ape, fighting against Ye Zi’s army of hundreds of thousands. Certainly, soon numerous green figures fell from the tree like ripened fruit dropping to the ground. Immediately, around the colorful Wutong tree gathered over ten thousand green figures, appearing like a dark green ocean. Without waiting for all to appear, the numerous green figures scattered in all directions like floodwaters bursting forth.
Seeing Ye Zi’s tactic, Sun Wukong chuckled, pulled out a handful of hairs, and blew them. Though it was not as vast as Ye Zi’s tens of thousands, it still formed thousands of figures from the hairs. All the little monkeys transformed from hairs quickly dispersed. Soon, the original spot was left with only Ye Zi and Ye Wu’s main form, the Wutong tree, and Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, with Sha Wujing and White Dragon healing inside the tree trunk.
Tang Sanzang glanced at the seven-colored Wutong tree; maintaining the movement of ten thousand figures wasn’t easy, Ye Zi was already asleep. Turning to look at Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang’s gaze was complex, “Wukong, didn’t I tell you before that monks don’t lie?”
Surprised, Sun Wukong’s previously smiling face showed unexpected expression, “Master, Wukong understands his mistake.” “Acknowledging mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good. Wukong, have you considered what would happen if you fail again? Monks should indeed aim to benefit all beings, but if comforting a small few endangers all lives, it’s a sin.” Sun Wukong hadn’t expected his intentions to be so easily seen through by his master.
“But, Master, these people—I really don’t want any more of them to die. Plus, given my current state, I’m quite confident. So, Master, let me try once more.” Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong, his gaze calm and clear like water.”
“Since you became my disciple initially, we formed a master-disciple bond. As a mentor, how can I stand by and watch my disciple risk himself? This time, let us understand it as master and disciple together!”
With that, Tang Sanzang tossed the Transcendence Bloom in his hand. The white bloom suddenly emitted several milky white beams, and slowly the five petals separated.
One petal merged into Sun Wukong’s forehead.
One petal merged into Tang Sanzang’s forehead.
One petal merged into Zhu Bajie’s forehead.
One petal merged into Sha Wujing’s forehead, encased within the trunk.
One petal merged into White Dragon’s forehead, similarly encased within the trunk.
Zhu Bajie had never left but hid nearby. (. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
