Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

The masters from the Holy Book Academy have emerged from the Desolate Divine Realm!

Among all the masters who entered the Desolate Divine Realm, only the representatives from the Holy Book Academy came out safely, while the experts from other major forces were entirely wiped out!

This news spread quickly across the entire Han Hai Realm.

"Amazing! No wonder it's the Holy Book Academy, even their outer sect disciples are so strong!"

"The Desolate Divine Realm is incredibly dangerous; all the experts from various major forces are trapped inside, yet only the Academy's masters escaped unharmed. Indeed, the largest power in the Han Hai Realm is truly formidable!"

"The masters of the Holy Book Academy have truly excelled this time! Though the Desolate Divine Realm is perilous, it's rumored to be full of treasures and various opportunities, none of which the current Han Hai Realm possesses!"

"Being able to emerge safely, their strength is bound to advance by leaps and bounds, ensuring a bright future ahead!"

...

Throughout the Han Hai Realm, discussions abound with astonishment and admiration for the Holy Book Academy.

The experts from each major force were envious of the Academy's masters; alas, they lacked the fortune to enter the Academy for study.

Regarding these discussions across the Han Hai Realm, Sun Wukong and others were indifferent.

After leaving the Nine Great Dead Stars area of the Desolate Divine Realm, they returned directly to Xue Shan Star.

Upon returning to Xue Shan Star, Gongsun Yu and others headed straight back to the Holy Book Academy, while Sun Wukong, Shen Lang, and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor led a group of Heavenly Bird Dynasty masters to Shen Lang's Tian Lang Institute.

These Heavenly Bird Dynasty masters had already pledged allegiance to Shen Lang, hence returning to the Dynasty to report was out of the question.

From now on, their only master would be Shen Lang!

Naturally, Shen Lang needed to arrange them properly.

"You all rest here for a bit, half shall stay behind, and the other half return to the Heavenly Bird Dynasty!"

Inside Tian Lang Institute, Shen Lang instructed his subordinates.

"Master, why is that? Did we do something wrong?"

The group of experts was puzzled; having become Shen Lang's subordinates, why return to the Heavenly Bird Dynasty?

"Naturally, it's to gather information!"

Shen Lang smiled, "You are now my subordinates, you just need to follow my orders. I reside in the Holy Book Academy, the Dynasty's situation must rely on you to convey to me, so I can respond to any issues accordingly!"

"Rest assured, whether it's those staying or those returning to gather news, none will be short-changed! Following me will definitely offer a better future than under that guy Shen Feng!"

As Shen Lang spoke, he took out several bottles of Elixir Pills and distributed them among his subordinates.

To make a horse run faster, it must be fed and well-fed indeed!

Merely relying on Sun Wukong's compelled oaths to restrain them wouldn't make them truly loyal.

Shen Lang desired loyal subordinates who could work with him, cooperate fully.

Therefore, both rewards and punishments were necessary.

"Master's benevolence, we swear by our lives to repay!"

The group was overjoyed, gratefully bowing to Shen Lang.

After arranging his subordinates, it was Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's turn.

Sun Wukong promised Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor a chance to cultivate in the Holy Book Academy, certainly he wouldn't break the promise.

Though Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor didn't place too much importance on Sun Wukong's vow, to Sun Wukong and Shen Lang, it was a serious matter!

This was about upholding a promise!

As a man, how could he break a promise?

"Wukong, are you really going to bring the Ancestor directly into the Holy Book Academy? Won't it be inappropriate?"

Outside the outer sect entrance of the Holy Book Academy, Shen Lang glanced at the academy's signboard, somewhat displeased.

"What's wrong with it? We just need to persuade the Academy to temporarily set up a test so that the Ancestor can enter, right?"

Sun Wukong picked at his ear, nonchalant.

"But wouldn't this be like acting first and reporting later..."

Before Shen Lang finished, Sun Wukong had already led Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor into the Holy Book Academy.

Well, now it's done without reporting, take it step by step.

"Let the Academy temporarily set up a testing opportunity? There's never been a precedent for this!"

Sun Wukong was received by an old acquaintance, outer court teacher Gongsun Yu.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's intention, Gongsun Yu frowned deeply.

He naturally knew with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's strength, passing the Academy's test to enter posed no issue.

The problem was there's no current testing opportunity!

Setting up a special testing opportunity for someone has never appeared in the Academy's history!

"Precisely because there's no precedent, we need to create one!"

Sun Wukong draped an arm around Gongsun Yu's neck, "Brother Gongsun, aren't we friends who've weathered adversity together?"

"We are, of course."

"That's settled! Let my senior Sun bring the Ancestor in, I'll find Brother Zhong myself, I'll definitely persuade him to grant this special test opportunity."

"..."

Seeing Sun Wukong's resolute expression, Gongsun Yu found it hard to refuse, could only agree with a bitter smile.

Thus, Sun Wukong led Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor into the inner court of the Holy Book Academy.

Crossing the Great Plains of the inner court, reaching the foot of the mountain ranges, Sun Wukong and others met the second senior Ye Liangchen head-on.

"Wukong, Shen Lang, I was just about to find you!"

The second senior Ye Liangchen was pleased to see Sun Wukong and Shen Lang,

"You two are impressive! Reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm so quickly! At this rate, it won't be long before breaking through to the Golden Divine Realm, right?"

Praising them, the second senior Ye Liangchen felt inwardly impressed.

Initially, when Sun Wukong and Shen Lang volunteered to venture into the Desolate Divine Realm, he had reservations, thinking they were playing with fire.

But now it seems, their decision back then was indeed wise!

Otherwise, how could their cultivation have reached the Heavenly Divine Realm so swiftly?

Shen Lang had already reached the late stage of the Heavenly Divine Realm, Sun Wukong was at the peak of the middle stage, with such a cultivation speed, it would be impossible within the Holy Book Academy!

Indeed, the quickest way to improve cultivation strength was through adventures in various Secret Realms!

Although considerably dangerous, risking life with the slightest mistake, if one's strength is strong enough, it's definitely the best way to enhance!

"Huh? Who is this?"

The second senior Ye Liangchen turned his gaze to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor.

He could tell Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's cultivation also reached the late stage of the Heavenly Divine Realm.

Such a master appearing in the inner court of the Academy certainly meant something!

"This is Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, my eldest brother!"

Sun Wukong introduced, meanwhile told the second senior Ye Liangchen of his plans.
