Chapter 955: Convenient Recovery (Third Update!)
The three Domain Kings of the Tianyi Alliance were about to chase after them when the Immortal Island suddenly shook violently. Columns of fire shot out from the ground again, scaring the three into retreating hastily. By the time the fire columns disappeared, the palace had returned to its small appearance from before.
The Prohibitions and Restraints have been restored!
"Damn it, weren't the restrictions broken by Sun Wukong? How did they recover so fast?"
"Brother Kun, could it be that Sun Wukong had already noticed us and intentionally only broke the Barrier for a short while without completely unlocking it?"
"Most likely that's the case! That cunning guy is too sly!"
"Alright, is there any use in talking so much? Hurry and think of a way to break the prohibition again, or else by the time we get in, what valuables will be left?"
The three Domain Kings of the Tianyi Alliance were indignant but helpless. They had to work together to break the prohibition again. However, unlike Sun Wukong, they didn't have the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes to directly solve the world's formations and prohibitions. They could only slowly decompose the prohibitions bit by bit with brute force.
Inside the palace, Sun Wukong and the others appeared at the end of a corridor.
"Monkey, I noticed you seemed to do something when you came in just now. You didn't play some trick on those three guys behind us, did you?"
Luo Bai looked at Sun Wukong, chuckling mischievously as he asked.
"Wow, you've got sharp eyes, noticing even that!"
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Actually, it's nothing much; I just casually restored the prohibition that I had broken earlier."
"Casually restored?"
Luo Bai and Leng Xuan exchanged a knowing smile, "Monkey, your casual restoration will probably cost them half a day's effort! Those three are likely cursing us at this moment!"
"That's none of old Sun's business!"
Sun Wukong shrugged, "Old Sun worked so hard to break the prohibition, and they want to just follow in easily and take advantage? Not a chance!"
"Haha, exactly! We've always taken advantage of others, when is it others' turn to take advantage of us? If they try, break their hands!"
Luo Bai laughed loudly, then his expression turned serious. "Monkey, there's more to this palace than meets the eye. I doubt this corridor is easy to traverse. We should be careful and set out now, right? The sooner we enter the depths of the hall, the sooner we can find treasures, isn't it?"
"Treasure, treasure, that's all you know!"
Leng Xuan glared at Luo Bai, "Is the leader someone who loses himself at the sight of treasure? If this Heavenly Que Realm is indeed the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court, there's a reason it opens every hundred thousand years. We can only be true winners if we uncover the hidden intent behind it."
Sun Wukong looked at Leng Xuan unexpectedly. Among all of them, only Leng Xuan had such a perceptive mind and could see through what he was thinking.
"Old Sun knows the hidden intent!"
"Hmm?"
"Leader, you know?"
Luo Bai and Leng Xuan simultaneously turned to stare at Sun Wukong, surprise in their eyes. Pausing briefly, they asked in unison, "What is it?"
"Inheritance! The inheritance of the Heavenly Que Realm's master!"
Sun Wukong didn't want to hide anything from Luo Bai and Leng Xuan. Initially, he hadn't thought much about the inheritance of the Heavenly Que Realm's master. He just believed that entering the Heavenly Que Realm would surely yield results, greatly beneficial for the future enhancement of his cultivation strength.
But after hearing from the Battle God Monkey Emperor, Sun Wukong's thoughts changed. Since there was such a benefit as the Heavenly Que Realm's master's inheritance, wouldn't it be a shame not to strive for it? Later regrets would surely plague him!
As for whether it was he himself or Luo Bai, Leng Xuan, and others who obtained the inheritance, Sun Wukong saw no difference!
They all came from the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, all brothers and friends. If Luo Bai and others obtained the inheritance, it would still be the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court obtaining the inheritance. It wouldn't fall into an outsider's hands. Besides, Sun Wukong never took any inheritance too seriously!
Obtaining it would naturally be best, as it would greatly boost his strength, but not obtaining it wasn't a big deal. He was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, and didn't need to rely on inheritance to reach the peak by his own power!
Upon hearing Sun Wukong talk about the Heavenly Que Realm's inheritance, Luo Bai and Leng Xuan's eyes lit up. The next moment, they simultaneously clasped their fists in salute to Sun Wukong. Such a secret, if others knew, would surely be hidden deep down and fought for in secret. Yet, Sun Wukong openly shared it with them, which touched their hearts deeply.
"Come on, there's no need for such formalities between brothers. Let's go, be careful, and follow old Sun closely. One wrong step in this corridor is not an option!"
Sun Wukong had noticed the formations and prohibitions in the corridor long ago, but besides those, there must be other arrangements. The Void-Breaking Moon Eyes weren't omnipotent and couldn't reveal everything. To reach the depths of the palace for treasures, caution was necessary!
Drawing the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod from his ear, he carefully walked into the corridor. Luo Bai and Leng Xuan exchanged a glance, drew their respective weapons, and with Primordial Force coursing through their bodies, followed Sun Wukong step by step into the corridor.
"Left front has a prohibition, move diagonally one step to the right Kun position!"
"Lower your head, there's a prohibition above!"
With every two steps, Sun Wukong would remind Luo Bai and Leng Xuan behind him.
The number of prohibition formations in this corridor was simply too overwhelming. Even Sun Wukong didn't want to exhaust himself using the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes to break them all, as it was too tiring!
Moreover, those three Domain Kings from the West Continent Tianyi Alliance were still behind them. The doorway's prohibition might hold them off for a time but not forever. Sooner or later, it would be broken through, and when they entered, they too would have to cross this corridor. Sun Wukong wasn't about to expend effort on that!
"Crack!"
A slight, abrupt sound was heard. Sun Wukong glanced down at his foot, suddenly realizing trouble. The next moment, several shadows shot at the three from the walls on all sides of the corridor.
"Bang bang bang!"
Sun Wukong dared not be careless. Wielding the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, he fully blocked the shadow attacks, but the immense force contained within the attacks pushed him backward. Fortunately, Luo Bai and Leng Xuan were behind, pressing against his back to help neutralize the backward force. Otherwise, his foot might have stepped onto the prohibition behind.
That would have triggered a chain reaction, and the fun would have really begun!
