Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Actually, it's not yet at the level of the Han Hai Realm."

Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "It's just slightly higher than the world level of the Yuan Realm, and besides low-level plants, no beings with Spiritual Wisdom have been born."

"I've been thinking, is it missing some sort of opportunity?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's eyes flashed with insight; he understood what Sun Wukong meant.

"Wukong, you're saying that this sapling contains a powerful Life Primordial, and planting it in your internal world could make your internal world more complete."

"Could it even nurture life, becoming a full-fledged world?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking!"

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly; that was just his thought!

"I see, Wukong, you should have said so earlier!"

Shen Lang laughed, retracting the Purple Cloud Heart Flame from his gloves.

"You agreed?"

Surprise was written across Sun Wukong's face, as he thought he would have to do some persuading to convince Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and Shen Lang.

After all, the sapling holds incredibly powerful Life Primordial power, and absorbing it could give them all a significant boost in cultivation strength.

Sun Wukong hadn't expected Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor to agree so readily.

"Of course we agreed, if it weren't for you, Wukong, we wouldn't have been able to defeat that old tree demon, and might have ended up fleeing miserably. There's no reason not to agree!"

Shen Lang waved his hand, and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor also spoke,

"Wukong, this Ancestor can somewhat guess your intentions. You want to elevate your internal world to the level of the Han Hai Realm, and then transfer the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court from the Yuan Realm, correct?"

Sun Wukong nodded: "That's right, that's exactly what I intend to do."

The Yuan Realm's spatial limitations are significant, making it difficult to break through and ascend to the Han Hai Realm, even for the powerful Six-Eared Macaque.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be Sun Wukong and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor who ascended to the Han Hai Realm.

But if Sun Wukong can elevate his internal world space to the level of the Han Hai Realm, he can connect the internal world space with the Yuan Realm and relocate the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

Although he has joined the Holy Book Academy, Sun Wukong's roots still reside in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court in his heart.

The brothers and sisters in the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court are his true family.

And Zi Xia, Zi Xia is still waiting for him in the Yuan Realm.

Sun Wukong desires the sapling, not for himself, but for the entire Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!

"Shen Lang, Daoist Ancestor, thanks, I won't be polite!"

Sun Wukong bowed to Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, drawing the sapling's primordial essence before him, around which the Heavenly Saint Fire swirled.

Unlike Shen Lang's Purple Cloud Heart Flame, the Heavenly Saint Fire did not harm the sapling's primordial essence; it simply refined out wisps of black smoke, which were remnants of the old tree demon's consciousness and Divine Sense.

"Back in the Era's Destruction, you should have perished along with it; today, I'm giving you a hand, in a way."

While refining the remnants of the old tree demon's Divine Sense, Sun Wukong found that the old tree demon's Divine Soul was incomplete, likely destroyed for the most part during the Era's Destruction.

Only a small fraction of its residual Divine Sense remained, leaving it practically senseless, merely surviving by absorbing the energy beneath Duanfeng.

For the old tree demon, Sun Wukong's actions were perhaps a kind of release?

The sapling's primordial essence, now free of residual consciousness, appeared more crystalline than before. Sun Wukong didn't hesitate to incorporate it into his internal world.

Where to plant it?

"You four, do you have any good suggestions?"

Sun Wukong asked the four within his internal world, the Dragon Cat's group. Previously, for safety, he had brought Tian Lin into his internal space.

"Well, I think it should be planted next to my cave dwelling!"

The Dragon Cat was the first to suggest, "Look at my place, with its clear mountains and waters, it's essentially an Immortal Realm! This sapling would be perfect here!"

The Dragon Cat's abode was a vast orchard.

"Oh please, with so many trees there already, what nutrients would this sapling get?"

The Dragon Scorpion rolled its eyes in opposition, "I believe it should be planted in my place; with the oasis in the desert, how precious are the resources? It would definitely thrive there."

"Oh, come on! You're just trying to use the Divine Tree to transform your oasis; don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

Tian Lin interjected, "Boss, this sapling contains powerful Life Primordial power, and should be planted at the center of this world to bring about the greatest change to the spatial world."

"Indeed, I agree with Tian Lin's suggestion; you should create a high peak at the world's center and plant the sapling on the summit. This way, it can become a World Tree in the future!"

Vermilion Bird agreed with Tian Lin's opinion.

"Great idea!"

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, and with a thought, a landmass rose from the ocean in the center of his internal world, with a high mountain towering on it.

The summit pierced through the clouds and into the firmament, and the sapling was planted at the peak.

Once planted, it quickly grew branches and leaves, becoming a towering tree.

However, Sun Wukong could tell the tree was still growing, constantly absorbing nutrient energy from the land and converting it into Life Origin Force to fuel its growth.

It also continuously emitted free Life Energy in all directions.

Sun Wukong was confident that in the near future, this tree could truly grow into a World Tree, becoming the pillar of this world!

By then, the internal world could become a world equivalent to the Han Hai Realm, making the plan to relocate the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court no longer a dream.

The battle with the old tree demon had taken a toll on all three of them, and without absorbing the sapling's energy, they felt quite fatigued.

They weren't sure what dangers might lie ahead on the mountain, so Sun Wukong and the others didn't dare to be careless. They restored themselves to peak condition before setting off again.

Because of the battle with the old tree demon, the path going down the mountain had been destroyed, with no platform to rest on and no way back.

But it didn't matter, none of the three intended to turn back. Having come this far, who wouldn't want to reach the Duanfeng peak and see?

"Shen Lang, Daoist Ancestor, here!"

Sun Wukong handed out two gourds of Fighting Victory Wine to Shen Lang and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, the last two he had.

"What about you, Wukong?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor frowned, hesitating to accept, and Shen Lang was too embarrassed to take it.

"I hardly need the Fighting Victory Wine anymore, it's better for you. If I ever need it, I'll just ask you for some."
