Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 386: Miniaturized Space Channel (12th update, two more to go, feeling so dizzy)



Seeing the serious expression on Demon Ancestor Luo Hu's face, Sun Wukong let out an "Oh," didn't ask any further questions, and honestly followed behind. With Sun Wukong no longer having doubts, the Bull Demon King and Six-Eared Macaque naturally had nothing to question either, and thus, all of them silently followed behind Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, walking deeper into the swamp.

"There's definitely something strange about this place!"

The group was walking a foot above the surface of the swamp water, as if on flat ground, and if one did not look carefully, they wouldn't notice anything unusual.

After entering the depths of the swamp, Sun Wukong finally noticed the extraordinary characteristics of this swamp. The activity level of the space here was high, but the spatial fluctuations were extremely subtle. If it hadn't been for his considerable understanding of the Space Law, Wukong might not have sensed anything amiss.

Of course, Sun Wukong's understanding of the Space Law paled in comparison to that of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu. When it came to understanding the Heavenly Dao Laws, aside from the Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, no one in the Three Realms could match up to Demon Ancestor Luo Hu. This was also the reason why Luo Hu could find the entrance to the passage between the two realms, while the spies from the Duanmu Clan and the Liushui Family had searched for so long yet came up empty-handed.

"Being able to detect the strangeness, young Sun, you're not too bad!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu gave a word of praise and that was it, nothing more. The portal between the two realms was extremely secretive, and its entrance within the swamp was constantly shifting. Otherwise, Luo Hu would have simply opened a crack in space right at the entrance to the portal instead of taking the trouble to slowly walk in. He needed to carefully search and ascertain the current location of the entrance.

After walking forward another dozen or so feet, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu suddenly stopped, without any warning, causing Sun Wukong to almost bump into him, "Why the stop? Could it be here?"

The eyes of Sun Wukong gleamed with golden light. Seeing Demon Ancestor Luo Hu nodding his head, Wukong concentrated his thoughts and activated his Void-Breaking Divine Eye to the fourth phase, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes. A beams of starlight manifested in his Heavy Pupil, and the space before him suddenly appeared very different. The scene that unfolded before Wukong's eyes caused him to involuntarily widen them in amazement, "This, what is this…"

The scene before him was almost identical to what Sun Wukong had seen in the depths of the Endless Abyss; everywhere were filled with spatial vortices. The difference was that these spatial vortices were much smaller than the ones beneath the Endless Abyss, like a miniature version. They emitted only mild spatial fluctuations, so mild that without the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, Wukong would not have been able to see them at all!

"Do you see it?"

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of Demon Ancestor Luo Hu as he carefully observed the faint golden light in Sun Wukong's eyes, taking note of the changes within, "Young Sun, your eyes seem to contain Heavenly Dao! Impressive, quite impressive!"

"Demon Ancestor, quit flattering me, just extend the passage already. I can tell there are quite a few spatial channels here, but which one leads to the Netherworld? I really don't have a clue!"

Wukong shook his head with a wry smile. He was not endeared by flattery. In terms of understanding Space Law, Demon Ancestor Luo Hu was indeed far beyond him—Wukong could only perceive the hidden, miniature spatial vortices surrounding them with the assistance of the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, while Luo Hu relied entirely on his comprehension of Space Law to sense them. The difference was obvious.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hu nodded, not delaying any further. Suddenly, he pointed towards a tiny spatial channel to the left front with both hands, and a beam of Space Law power shot out from his fingertips into the tiny spatial channel. Immediately, the Space Force was stimulated, and the initially finger-sized spatial channel abruptly expanded, becoming larger and larger and transitioning from incorporeal to corporeal until it transformed into a giant spatial channel more than a man's height, appearing before Sun Wukong and the others.

"This is the portal to the Netherworld, the passage between the two realms!"

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu slightly pursed his mouth toward the space passage and said, "I can only maintain it for the duration of an incense stick, little Sun. You guys need to hurry up and leave! When passing through the Netherworld, remember to be careful not to get killed by the Nether River ancestor. When I go to the Three Realms, I hope to still see you lot jumping around alive and well!"

"The duration of an incense stick? We really need to hurry up and leave!"

Sun Wukong's heart tightened, understanding the implications of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu's words: the space passage had expanded to this size solely because of Demon Ancestor Lou Hu's power. If they didn't manage to get through the space passage to the other side's exit within the time of an incense stick, the shrinking passage would be torn apart by them, and then, even with his Chaotic Divine Body, he would still be torn to shreds by the raging spatial storm!

"Wukong, my little brother, I have many matters to deal with in the Demonic Realm, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the Three Realms..."

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan started to speak with a hint of apology, but before he could finish, Sun Wukong raised his hand to interrupt him, "Mu, my brother, no need to say more, I get it! Rest assured, I, old Sun, have seen all sorts of trials and tribulations through the years. It's only the Heavenly Court, I don't take it to heart! Don't forget, I am the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"

"That's right, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven!"

Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan laughed, extending his fist toward Sun Wukong, "Wukong, my little brother, until we meet again!"

"Until we meet again!"

Sun Wukong also smiled and extended his fist, lightly touching it with Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan's. Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King followed suit, and the four of them burst out laughing together.

"Little Sun, time, watch the time! Don't expect me to extend the duration of this space passage; one incense stick is already the limit!"

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu urged them on. He wasn't joking; with the capability of his current body, sustaining this passage between the Two Realms for the time of an incense stick was indeed the limit. Any longer would cause harm to his body.

"Let's go!"

The trio of Sun Wukong became serious and, without further delay, saluted Demon Ancestor Lou Hu and Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor Mu Chenxuan with clasped hands, then they successively entered the space passage.

The interior of this space passage was similar to when Sun Wukong had arrived. Upon entering, they immediately felt the astonishing pull of space ahead, which told Sun Wukong that a spatial storm was waiting for them.

"Be cautious, there's a spatial storm ahead, and it's very strong. We'll have to tough it out, we can't be careless!"

Sun Wukong spoke as a warning, as Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King both appeared curious. Clearly, this space passage wasn't the same as the one they had used to come to the Demonic Realm.
