Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

In the isolated space within the Desolate City, Sun Wukong and others were unaware of the events occurring in the Han Hai Realm.

Even if Crown Prince Shen Feng wanted to send a message to Shen Lang, did he have the ability?

After crossing the desert, Sun Wukong and his two companions continued through various terrains, facing numerous hardships.

Fortunately, the trio's strength was continuously improving, enabling them to successfully reach the center of the continent.

This area was a gathering place of mountain peaks, where the place of summoning, as mentioned by Tian Lin, was located on one of these peaks.

Calling it a mountain peak might be inappropriate; perhaps Duanfeng would be a more fitting term.

There were nine mountain peaks in the continent's center, but all were collapsed, as if cut by a sharp blade.

The relatively intact peak was the one from which Tian Lin sensed the summoning.

What bewildered Sun Wukong and the others was not the broken peak, but the strange scene within the valley encircled by the nine peaks.

The valley was covered in flowers, yet there wasn't a single tree in sight.

Moreover, the flowers were extraordinarily vibrant and overly abundant, making Sun Wukong feel strange at a glance.

Something seemed amiss.

"Strange, why are there so many flowers? And the aura they emit is peculiar,"

Shen Lang furrowed his brows, "It should be the aura of life, but why does it feel so deathly still?"

"You feel it too? I thought it was my imagination!"

Sun Wukong squinted, realizing this place was not simple!

"This should be the ancestral land left by a powerful ancient race from the previous era, but throughout our journey, we haven't seen a single corpse, which is unusual!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor pointed towards the flower sea ahead, "If my guess is correct, the ancient race's remains are beneath this flower sea."

"What?"

Shen Lang was startled, his face showing horror, "This entire sea of flowers relies on corpses to..."

"To be nourished!"

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice. He had activated his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes and saw beneath the flower sea into the depths of the earth.

The sight was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, shocking enough to leave Sun Wukong astounded.

Such a large number of remains naturally became a source of nourishment for the flower sea.

The Yin energy from the numerous remains above caused a bizarre aura, a mix of life and death.

"Oh my, it gives me goosebumps,"

Shen Lang shuddered, looking utterly disgusted.

"Alright, enough with the jokes!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand, summoning Tian Lin from his internal world.

"Tian Lin, lead the way, let's see what is summoning you!"

Unexpectedly, Tian Lin looked hesitant, gently shaking his head.

"What's wrong?"

Sun Wukong also creased his brow.

"Boss, I feel something strange, as if, as if..."

"As if what?"

"As if a giant beast on the mountainside is waiting with its mouth open to swallow us..."

Tian Lin's words made Sun Wukong frown; Tian Lin's intuition was definitely not unfounded.

There must be a considerable danger atop the broken peak!

"Dao Ancestor, what's your view?"

Sun Wukong looked at Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor.

"There are certainly obstacles on the broken peak! That's unquestionable."

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor calmly replied, "But does that mean you won't venture there, Wukong?"

"How is that possible?"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow, "Of course, we're going up!"

"Exactly, being overly cautious won't change the fact that we must explore it,"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor chuckled, "Let's go, whether it's a mountain of blades and sea of flames or the Hell Immortal Gate, it must be traversed!"

"Tian Lin has always felt the summoning, meaning there's definitely something on the peak that he needs!"

"Moreover, in such a place, there must be many treasures; even for those treasures, we must go see."

Shen Lang's eyes brightened, echoing, "Exactly, we're here for treasure; how can we leave empty-handed from a treasure mountain?"

"Let's go, climb up! Let's see what demons and monsters are atop this broken peak!"

Sun Wukong laughed heartily, leading the way up the broken peak.

Along this path, Sun Wukong could clearly feel slight energy fluctuations beneath his feet.

The mountain body of this peak seemed to contain immense energy, and a detonation would be astonishing.

Endless ages had passed since the previous era, the peaks had collapsed, but the energy within the mountain remained formidable.

It's imaginable how powerful the energy within the mountain was back then!

This could indeed be the origin of a powerful ancient race from the previous era.

Buzz~!

As Sun Wukong and his companions climbed the mountain path, there was a sudden strange vibration from the ground beneath them, and a wave of energy rippled outward.

"Back off!"

Sun Wukong's expression suddenly changed, yelling as he swiftly retreated.

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang hurriedly retreated as well.

Just as they stepped back, a massive pillar of emerald-green flame shot upwards from the ground, reaching the sky!

The tremendous destructive power contained within the pillar made Sun Wukong and his companions' faces grow somber, even Sun Wukong himself felt it.

Such horrifying destructive power—could they withstand it if directly hit?

The fire columns were not solitary; they erupted continuously one after another.

These eruptions weren't specifically targeting Sun Wukong and his companions but were random, as Sun Wukong realized after dodging for a while.

They must have entered something within the mountain body, triggering certain prohibitions which caused the internal energy to erupt.

"Be cautious, don't get sprayed by these fire columns; it could get troublesome."

Sun Wukong's eyes shone with dark golden light, the Void-Breaking Moon Eyes in full operation. He had discerned the fire columns' extraordinary nature.

The flames in these fire columns were formed by the fusion of Yin Fire from the remains and Earth Fire from within the mountain over time.

They also contained an energy unfamiliar to Sun Wukong, one never seen in the current era.

It should belong to the previous era's energy.

Even though Sun Wukong and his companions were in the middle stage of the Heavenly Divine Realm, and even if they reached the Saint Divine Realm, being struck by these fire columns would still be quite unpleasant!

If this previous era's energy could be absorbed and combined with Great Saint Primordial Force to form a new type of strength...

Their power would surely undergo a qualitative leap!
