Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 389. I, Old Sun, Will Keep You Company to the End (1st Update)



```

"This ancestor thought someone was audacious enough to massacre my Asura Tribe members next to Hell's Yellow Springs and the Boundless Sea of Blood. Turns out it was you, brat!"

Minghe Old Ancestor's expression was a mix of a smile and not, his eyes enigmatic. It was hard to tell if he was pleased or angry, "Back then, this ancestor felt you were no ordinary youngster, and indeed, as expected, you have made quite a name for yourself in just a few hundred years! Great Sage Equalling Heaven, huh, Sun child, you are quite bold indeed, daring to take on such a title!"

"But it's just a title after all, not worth mentioning!"

Sun Wukong shook his head lightly, his expression unchanged, and he did not relax in the slightest. He certainly didn't think the Minghe Old Ancestor was showing goodwill just by praising him a couple of times. This was the creator of the Slaughter Path Clan Asura Tribe, a matchless giant whose hands were stained with countless lives and who wielded two unparalleled Slaying Swords that were free from karma—saying anyone could be benevolent was one thing, but to say Minghe Old Ancestor was kind would be a complete slap to his face!

"Sun Wukong, this ancestor has heard that you were beaten down into the Endless Abyss by the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Court, a place that is easy to enter but impossible to leave. How did you come to Hell's Yellow Springs?"

Minghe Old Ancestor inquired with a seemingly curious face, but his mind was already pondering. Sun Wukong's fame as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven had already spread throughout the Three Realms. He claimed the first place in the Heavenly Court's competition, boldly slaying Real Man of Jade Cauldron and later causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, even smashing the Heavenly Secrets Instrument in the Heavenly Court. These feats were so notorious that even Minghe Old Ancestor in Hell's Yellow Springs and the Boundless Sea of Blood had heard of them. This monkey's combat power was definitely extraordinary!

Now having seen him with his own eyes, Sun Wukong had indeed reached the realm of Slaying One Corpse Quasi-Saint. In just a few hundred years, he had ascended from Taiyi Golden Immortal to the Quasi-Saint Realm, a cultivation speed that was simply defying heaven. Coupled with his reputation, Minghe Old Ancestor could no longer treat him as a junior and decided to test the waters first.

"It was merely a twist of fate."

Sun Wukong responded indifferently, not wishing to elaborate and bluntly said, "Minghe Old Ancestor, I need to hurry back to the Three Realms, I will come to disturb you another day!"

He then signaled to Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King with his eyes, intending to leave Hell's Yellow Springs.

"Not so fast!"

Minghe Old Ancestor's hands revealed two Slaying Swords, and his face showed a hint of a sinister smile, "Sun young friend, you seldom visit Hell's Yellow Springs, don't be in such a rush to leave!"

"What, does Minghe Old Ancestor have further teachings for me?"

Sun Wukong's heart sank. As expected, Minghe Old Ancestor wasn't going to let them leave so easily. This old rascal was definitely up to no good!

"Teachings are out of the question. It's just that you have killed so many of my Asura Tribe members, you can't just leave like this, right? How would this ancestor command the Asura Tribe in the future, or stand a place in this Netherworld?"

Minghe Old Ancestor continued to smile wickedly, his words leaving no doubt about his intentions—he was not going to let Sun Wukong leave just like that!

"I get it now, Minghe, you won't let me leave just like that. After all is said and done, it seems we must fight it out. Fine, whatever fight you want, I'll stick with you to the end!"

Sun Wukong reached into his ear and pulled out the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod from within his Dantian, along his meridians, and into his ear. With a shake, it grew to a length of a rod and a bowl's thickness, pointing diagonally at the ground, he held the other end, a defiant aura rising from him as he met Minghe Old Ancestor's gaze without any hint of submission.

The Sun Wukong of today was no longer the junior who only possessed the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, facing Minghe Old Ancestor without any sense of helplessness or the inability to resist like facing a towering giant. His strength had now grown to a point where he could rival Minghe Old Ancestor.

If you want a fight, then let's fight! I, Old Sun, will accompany you!

"Good lad! You really are different now!"

The eyes of the Nether River Ancestor flashed with a sharp glint, and his aura surged as well. "Very well, this ancestor is eager to see just how much the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, who caused an uproar in the Heavenly Palace and left all immortals and gods speechless, has progressed compared to back then!"

"Hmph! Enough to shock you!"

Sun Wukong snorted coldly, his aura continuing to soar, and his eyes also emitted a golden light. His Void-Breaking Divine Eye was stimulated to the state of Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, firmly locking onto the Nether River Ancestor.

"Six-Eared, Second Brother Bull, you go back to Flower-Fruit Mountain first. I'll be there shortly!"

Wukong glanced at the Six-Eared Macaque and the Bull Demon King, who were also ready to do battle with their weapons drawn, and said in a deep voice.

"Boss, we'll stay and help you!"

"Right, if we're leaving, we'll leave together!"

The Six-Eared Macaque and the Bull Demon King said loudly. Although they were still half a step from the Quasi-Saint Realm and had not achieved the breakthrough, their combat power was much stronger than that of ordinary Quasi-Saints, and they believed they could still be of help to Sun Wukong.

"No need! Flower-Fruit Mountain needs you more than I do right now! Go ahead to Flower-Fruit Mountain and help deal with the Heavenly Army. Tell Leng Xuan and the others that I will rush over as soon as possible, and to keep their confidence up!"

Sun Wukong shook his head and spoke gravely. Since his fall into the Endless Abyss, all immortals and gods from the Heavenly Court assumed he had perished and proclaimed so outwardly. Even though Leng Xuan and the others had great faith in him, the lack of his news for so long must be causing them unease.

Now that the Heavenly Army of a million soldiers was besieging Flower-Fruit Mountain, with both scale and momentum far surpassing before, it was critical to boost morale. Sending the Bull Demon King and the Six-Eared Macaque back first to relay the news of his survival would be truly inspiring for the Demon Clan at Flower-Fruit Mountain and would increase their strength substantially, allowing them to hold on.

"Boss..."

The Six-Eared Macaque wanted to say something else but was stopped by the Bull Demon King, who held out his hand, "Six-Eared, Boss is right. Our staying would offer limited help; it's better to head back to Flower-Fruit Mountain to confront the Heavenly Army. It's also perfect to let Leng Xuan and the others know that the Boss is unharmed, boosting their morale!"

"Fine!"

A struggle flickered in the Six-Eared Macaque's eyes before he sighed, then clenched his fist and said resolutely to Wukong, "Boss, you must come back safe. We'll be waiting for you at Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

"Go!"

The two figures soared into the air and flew upwards along the Yellow Springs. The Netherworld was different from when Wukong had been trapped there before; the barrier between the two realms was not sealed and one could return to the World of the Living from the Netherworld at any time, without needing to go from the deepest part of Hell's Yellow Springs to the Polar Realm of Heaven.

Sun Wukong had thought the Nether River Ancestor would act to prevent the Six-Eared Macaque and the Bull Demon King from leaving, but the Nether River Ancestor merely glanced at them indifferently and did not make a move. His gaze then returned to Wukong, making it clear that the Nether River Ancestor was only interested in Wukong himself!
