Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Sun Wukong was the first to release his Protective Aura. The dark-golden hue of the shield rose amidst the chaos, enveloping everyone within it. The immense power of the shield caused everyone to change slightly in expression. When a master acts, one can immediately see whether they are genuine or not. The power of Sun Wukong's Protective Aura could only possibly compare to the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor; even Pangu and Demon Ancestor Lou Hu were inferior!

"What are you dazing for? Hurry up!"

Seeing everyone staring at him without speaking, Sun Wukong frowned and urged.

Everyone hurriedly released their own Protective Auras. Indeed, only the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's Protective Aura was on the same level as Sun Wukong's; the others were slightly weaker.

"This monkey has become even stronger since coming to the Yuan Realm!"

In the eyes of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu, a sharp light flashed. His gaze towards Sun Wukong carried a complex expression. Over the years, he had many fortuitous encounters, thinking he could leave Sun Wukong behind and even surpass the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor upon seeing him again. He didn't expect these two to run ahead of him once more!

Though shocked, nobody said anything, and naturally, neither did Demon Ancestor Lou Hu. Everyone overlapped their Protective Auras and, with their combined defense, proceeded toward the Heavenly Que Realm's gateway.

Rumble!

As soon as they touched the gate of the Heavenly Que Realm, thunderous power erupted. Multicolored lightning came crashing at everyone from all sides of the gate, striking fiercely upon the shield.

The terrifying Thunderclap Power surged through the shield towards the group, causing everyone to let out a simultaneous muffled grunt and pause in their steps. Sun Wukong furrowed his brow, and the Chaos Primordial Force surged out from within him, stabilizing his shield against the lightning's onslaught.

"Quick, pass through now!"

The thunderous power on this Heavenly Que Realm gate was too overwhelming. While the shield could still block most of the thunderbolts, they needed to pass quickly. Every second of delay brought increased danger!

Everyone steadied their minds, mobilizing all their strength to withstand the lightning's assault. After being significantly weakened by the layers of Protection, the lightning's power had greatly diminished to less than a tenth, making it not too difficult to resist.

With a few more steps forward, Sun Wukong and his group were the first to pass through the Heavenly Que Realm's gate, entering into the Heavenly Que Realm.

"They went in!"

"Quick, follow them, or all the treasures will be picked clean!"

"The lightning on this gate is so powerful, how to get through? It must be done with teamwork!"

"I am Lan Xiyang from the South Continent's Ding Tian Sect. Who would like to form a formation with me to withstand the lightning on the gate?"

"I am from the Northern Continent..."

"I am Zhang Lanyu from the West Continent's Motian Sect..."

Seeing Sun Wukong and others enter the Heavenly Que Realm ahead of them, the other experts couldn't sit still. Each rushed forward in a hurry but didn't dare recklessly charge into the Heavenly Que Realm gate. Instead, they called out to friends and allies.

They could already tell that Sun Wukong and others were able to pass safely through the gate because of their collective effort to withstand the thunder's bombardment. Otherwise, relying on a single person's strength, no matter how strong, they would end up like that South Continent Domain King, severely injured by the multicolored lightning of the gate!

"I'll join, let's work together to enter the gate!"

"I will join too, can't let those guys get ahead!"

In order to enter the Heavenly Que Realm, experts from each continent set aside their pride temporarily, responding one after another, spontaneously forming several teams to collectively raise Protective Auras, charging toward the Heavenly Que Realm gate.

The lightning on the gate erupted once more, roaring towards the group of experts.

Not all the shields held up by experts could endure the thunderous attack from the Heavenly Que Realm gate. Some expert teams were blown away by a single strike of the lightning, leaving only fewer than half of the twenty-odd experts to pass through the gate, with the rest stopped and severely injured outside the gate.

Just reaching the Heavenly Que Realm gate and getting injured cut off the rest of their journey. They couldn't even get through the gate, let alone think about the treasures inside. This stark contrast left these once-confident powerhouses from each continent almost depressed. Many lamented why they didn't join Sun Wukong and others when they had raised their shields. Now they're outside the treasure mountain gate, watching others enter and strike it rich!

"Ah~! Damn it, why?"

Sounds of various grievances and complaints echoed across the platform outside the gate.

Sun Wukong and the others who had entered the Heavenly Que Realm's gate knew nothing of this, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. Whether others could enter the Heavenly Que Realm was none of their concern.

The fewer the people entering the Heavenly Que Realm to compete, the better for them, wouldn't you agree?

Within the Heavenly Que Realm, there were countless floating Immortal Islands, each with splendid golden palaces. Upon entering the gate, Sun Wukong and his group appeared at a platform similar to the entry side. If not for the vastly different scenery from the outside world, they might have doubted if they had entered the Heavenly Que Realm at all.

"Brother Monkey, doesn't this place feel a lot like the Heavenly Court to you?"

Luo Bai looked around and murmured to Sun Wukong's side.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it indeed resembles it a lot! No, it's nearly identical!"

Yang Jian and Nezha nodded. Having spent the most time in the Human Heavenly Court, they were most familiar with its layout. The scene before them was like a copy of the Human Heavenly Court in the Three Realms!

"Could this Heavenly Que Realm actually be an Ancient Heavenly Court?"

Leng Xuan speculated, nodding to himself before anyone could respond. "Yes, it's quite possible. The history of the Yuan Realm is much longer than that of the Three Realms. Many ancient events have long been buried in the river of time. Who can be sure that this isn't a relic of an Ancient Heavenly Court?"

"Alright, whether it's an Ancient Heavenly Court or not, our purpose here is treasure hunting. It's all about one's fortune. Let's each pick a direction to search. What one finds depends on personal luck."

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor spoke up, and Pangu nodded in agreement. This was his thought as well. Among these people, he only knew Sun Wukong and Zhao Jun, having only heard of the others through Sun Wukong, without any real acquaintance. Staying together all the time gave a strange feeling.

"Alright, let's each go our own way, but I, Old Sun, think we should meet there at last."

Sun Wukong pointed toward the largest floating land in the distance, a long golden staircase leading to a grand palace distinctly different from the others.
