Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Wukong, in our pursuit of Dao and immortality, we strive for a life of freedom, without the need to suppress ourselves. If you have any feelings for Yuan Bing, there's no need to avoid them. Just follow your heart. I believe Zi Xia will understand. However, if your feelings are merely fraternal, you should clarify them as soon as possible, to prevent her from being deeply entangled and finding it hard to extricate herself. Do you understand?"

Sun Wukong understood the words of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, but how could he refuse Yuan Bing's good intentions when she brought news to help?

"Ancestor, I understand what you're saying! Once this matter is settled, I will explain things clearly to Yuan Bing!"

Sun Wukong sighed and then his expression became resolute. The immediate priority was to complete and stabilize the construction of the Two Realms Passage, reducing the pressure on everyone else. Everything else could be dealt with later!

"No response. The people of the Demon Court really have endurance!"

The five elders of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team had been using sound waves to infiltrate the Tianlan Mountain Range for half a day, yet not a single person from within the range showed themselves or gave any form of response, leaving the Great Elder somewhat disgruntled. Besides provocation, the sound waves also contained a strong spiritual soul impact. Could the people of the Demon Court truly withstand it?

What the five elders of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team didn't know was that the spiritual soul impact in their sound waves had already been filtered out by the Sect Protection Array's barrier of the Demon Court, leaving only simple sound to transmit inside. For this level of provocation, the strong individuals of the Demon Court didn't even take it seriously.

A few words trying to provoke them into a fight? They're not fools; why would they fall for it?

"Five elders, since they're not coming out, let's just attack directly! Why waste time talking here?"

The actions of the five elders puzzled the Heavenly Prince. Given the power of the five, why bother with these means? Wouldn't it be easier to just attack directly?

"Heavenly Prince, although we agreed to act, we know what we're doing, so there's no need for you to worry about it!"

The Third Elder of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team glanced at the Heavenly Prince and snorted, speaking rather bluntly.

Were it not for the Heavenly Prince holding the Undying Heaven Demon Order, they wouldn't pay any heed to this junior who had only reached the Domain King Realm. Even if he were the next Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor, there could be many changes before the next era!

The five elders were all once Undying Heavenly Demon Emperors; they had their own pride and dignity. They might be subservient to the current Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor, but others wishing to dictate them would find they lacked the qualification!

"Bastard!"

The Heavenly Prince wasn't naive; he understood the implications in the Third Elder's words, feeling greatly vexed but not daring to show it. These five were pinnacle Domain Saint powerful individuals, to whom his cultivation strength was akin to an ant. If he truly offended them with careless words, and they killed him, the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor wouldn't blame them in the slightest!

Silently gritting his teeth to suppress his anger, the Heavenly Prince bowed to the five members of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team, his tone becoming more respectful: "Elders, that demon monkey Sun Wukong is exceptionally cunning. We shouldn't waste time; it's best to breach the Demon Court as soon as possible, in case of unforeseen changes!"

"Heavenly Prince, you're being overly cautious!"

The Great Elder laughed lightly, not taking the Heavenly Prince's words to heart. "Judging by the phenomena, the two realms passage the Demon Court wishes to construct is far from complete. With our intervention, it would take only a quarter of an hour to break through the Demon Court. What unforeseen changes could there be?"

The Heavenly Prince's face turned beet red, remaining silent.

"Enough. We've given them ample time to prepare. It's time to see those arrogant juniors of the Demon Court and teach them what despair truly is!"

Though the Heavenly Prince was the heir to the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor, the five elders didn't hold him in high regard, but they didn't overly disgrace him either. After half a day, as the Great Elder spoke, they started walking step by step into the Tianlan Mountain Range.

"This Demon Court is truly odd, choosing such a place for their sect!"

The deeper they ventured into the Tianlan Mountain Range, the more treacherous the terrain became. Many areas had natural formations that could trap or doom ordinary strong individuals. The five elders of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team were somewhat disdainful of the Demon Court's choice of sect location.

"Indeed, the Tianlan Mountain Range is a dangerous place, unsuitable for sect development. However, that Sun Wukong happens to be the first in endless ages to receive the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance from the Ancient Heavenly Court. Who knows what he obtained in that Heavenly Que Realm? Maybe they have other supports for sect development."

"The Great Elder is right. Although the Tianlan Mountain Range is a perilous place disadvantageous for sect growth, it is exceptionally advantageous for defense. No wonder the previous attacks from major powers were repelled by the Demon Court."

The five members of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team chatted as they walked, while the veins on the Heavenly Prince's forehead throbbed, nearly bursting with rage!

These old, undead folks truly believe they could completely wipe out the Demon Court with a flex of their power, strolling leisurely as if they're just out for a walk! Do they really think they can casually emerge unscathed?

At their current pace, it would take more than half a month to reach the gates of the Demon Court!

Every time the Undying Heaven Demon Order is activated, it severs the Heavenly Dao's perception for half a year. Are these old fools planning to spend all this time here?

Damn it!

"Heavenly Prince, don't act impulsively! They're willing to act because of the Undying Heaven Demon Order; you mustn't anger them!"

Seeing the Heavenly Prince about to urge them again, Left Envoy Qian Tian swiftly held him back, advising through a transmitted sound.

The five elders of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team were known for their peculiar temperaments, a fact long acknowledged among the Undying Heavenly Demon Clan. Except for the Undying Heavenly Demon Emperor, they wouldn't entertain anyone else. Were the Heavenly Prince to push again, they might truly turn hostile!

"But with them wasting time like this, when will they finally breach the Demon Court? What if unforeseen changes occur?"

The Heavenly Prince gritted his teeth, eager to breach the Demon Court at once and eliminate Sun Wukong and others completely to prevent future troubles. Yet, the five elders of the Heavenly Demon Judgment Team were wasting time like this; how could he not be anxious?

"Heavenly Prince, there's no need to worry. In the face of absolute power, all resistance is futile! The Demon Court is doomed this time!"
