Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 207: River Diagram and Luo Script (First Update)



In the deserted river of Heavenly Dao, a light appeared, revealing the figure of a person—it was Sun Wukong.

"Is this... the Heavenly River? How has Old Sun come back here again?"

Sun Wukong looked around in surprise, quickly recognizing the place. Wasn't this the very river where his Soul's True Spirit had stayed for many years? How had he returned to this river of Heavenly Dao?

"Could it be that Old Sun is dead?"

This thought flashed through Sun Wukong's mind and was immediately cast away with force. Impossible! No way! He had only battled the Ran Deng Buddha, and although their final blow and the clashing of domain powers hadn't caused any severe injury, he had fallen unconscious due to complete exhaustion of his strength. Death was still far off!

But why, then, was he back in the Heavenly River?

"Eh, what's that?"

Suddenly sensing something, Sun Wukong turned his head toward the source of the sensation. A talisman the size of a palm floated three feet behind him, emitting a faint glow. It was the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman!

Behind the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, there was also a golden-hooped iron rod shimmering with golden light—the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. A huge shadow of a green lotus materialized behind the Rod, likely the shadow of the Thirty-Sixth Rank World-Cleansing Green Lotus.

Invisible forces were being transferred between the Rod and the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, gradually pulling them together, with distinctly different powers interacting.

"The Time-Space Life-Death Talisman and the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod are... merging?"

Sun Wukong widened his eyes at the scene before him. Both were his magical treasures, and he could naturally feel their individual changes. The sensation of powers interacting could only mean that a fusion of forces was occurring.

Memories from Lin Yi, the previous owner from another time-space, which Sun Wukong had acquired from the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, told him that the Talisman would never remain with any one person indefinitely. After activating three times, it would not function a fourth time. Upon the death of its owner, it would break through space to find its next master.

Yet now, if it truly merged with the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, it would become Sun Wukong's treasure forever!

Even if Sun Wukong were to encounter an accident, it seemed the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman would have difficulty leaving him!

Sun Wukong couldn't tell whether this was good or bad, but one thing was certain: after this event, he would be able to invoke the power of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman, instead of passively waiting for it to save his life at critical moments.

Streams of Heavenly Dao Law Fragments converged from all directions toward the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman and Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, reinforcing their invisible bond, and advancing their integration. Sun Wukong suddenly had a thought—perhaps, his presence in the river of Heavenly Dao was due to the maneuvering of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman.

Only in this river could sufficient Heavenly Dao Laws be gathered for replenishment, allowing the fusion with the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod to be supported.

After all, the merging of these two distinctly different treasures required a significant amount of Law energy.

Sun Wukong floated quietly in the void, watching. Apart from watching, there was nothing he could do. This event wasn't initiated by him, and at this moment, only his Soul's True Spirit was present, rendering him unable to act and merely an observer.

The integration of the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman and Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod took a full three years to complete. Finally, the Talisman completely assimilated into the Rod. From the outside, the Rod showed no changes, but Sun Wukong felt a special attribute within it—a destructive attribute, capable of obliterating the void, obliterating time and space.

At the very moment when the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman and Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod fully merged, an epiphany surged within Sun Wukong. He realized that his ability to sense and wield the power of domains in the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm with the help of his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod was largely due to him possessing the Time-Space Life-Death Talisman.

Had it been anyone else, possessing the same talent and strength, and even if they had a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure like the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, mastering domain power at the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm would still be an impossibility!

Hum~!

A vibration emanated from the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, enveloping Sun Wukong, causing him to tremble. His vision darkened, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the cultivation secret room on the fourth floor of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, with Zi Lan Fairy watching over him.

"Wukong, you've finally awakened!"

Seeing Sun Wukong open his eyes, Zi Lan Fairy rubbed her own in disbelief. Once sure she hadn't seen wrong, and a look of extreme joy appeared on her face, she rushed to the bedside. "Wukong, how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"

"It's Zi Lan, how long has Old Sun slept?"

"Three years! Wukong, you've slept for a full three years! Your injuries have long since healed, but you just wouldn't wake up. We tried many methods to no avail. Now, at last, you've come around!"

Zi Lan Fairy's eyes reddened slightly. Heaven knew how worried she had been over these three years, fearing that Sun Wukong would just keep sleeping forever, never to awaken!

"Zi Lan, I'm sorry for making you worry,"

Warm waves of emotion surged in Sun Wukong's heart. He had been unconscious for three years, meaning Zi Lan Fairy had stayed by his side all this time, patiently waiting for him to wake up!

Such deep affection from a beautiful woman—how could he not be moved?

"Look, your old Sun is fine now, not a single thing is wrong!"

Sun Wukong jumped out of bed and patted himself down from left to right in front of Zi Lan Fairy, moving his body to prove he was indeed unharmed.

"Alright, it's good you're fine. As long as you're awake, Wukong, that's all that matters!"

Zi Lan Fairy smiled, reached out to take Sun Wukong's arm, "Let's go out and tell everyone the news. They've been worried about you for these three years too. It's time to put their minds at ease."

Sun Wukong nodded and let Zi Lan Fairy take his arm as they walked out of the Heaven-Piercing Tower together.

The news of Sun Wukong's awakening quickly spread throughout Flower-Fruit Mountain, stirring excitement among all the members of the Demon Clan, who rushed towards the Water Curtain Cave Heaven in joy.

For three years, Sun Wukong had been in a deep slumber. It wasn't just Zi Lan Fairy who was concerned; every member of the Demon Clan on Flower-Fruit Mountain had been anxious about him, about their King. Now that their King was awake and could lead them again, there was an indescribable joy on each of their faces.

"Boss, during the three years you were unconscious, I've rebuilt Flower-Fruit Mountain. You might want to check it out."

Leng Xuan handed a jade slip to Sun Wukong as he spoke. It contained detailed records of the renovation of Flower-Fruit Mountain. After Sun Wukong immersed his Divine Sense in it to review the details, he extended his Divine Sense to cover the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain and nodded in satisfaction.

Leng Xuan truly possessed an unparalleled talent in formation arts, even Sun Wukong had to admit defeat. The range of Flower-Fruit Mountain had doubled, the number of Spirit Veins had doubled, and there were many more formations of all sizes than before.

Especially the mountain protection Primordial Unity Grand Formation, Leng Xuan had added many Dao Patterns on top of the original foundation, significantly enhancing its power. Now, unless it was a Heavenly Dao Saint who took action, even half-step saints like Ran Deng Buddha couldn't break it in one fell swoop.

"Everyone, you've worked hard!"

Sun Wukong nodded to Leng Xuan and the other high-ranking members of the Demon Clan. Flower-Fruit Mountain had been in ruins when he had fallen unconscious, but now it was completely transformed. All of this was thanks to the efforts of Leng Xuan and other high-ranking officials of Flower-Fruit Mountain, as well as the contribution of all the Demon Clan members.

With such loyal brothers and subordinates, Sun Wukong suddenly felt full of confidence for the future.

The Demon Clan would surely experience a resurgence, and it would be in their hands!

"By the way, Boss, we've had visitors from the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, the Mosquito Daoist, and Demon Master Kunpeng. Demon Master Kunpeng left this, saying it was a gift he had promised long ago to give to you, and you are the only one who should open it."

As Leng Xuan said this, a long, box-shaped container appeared in his hand and was handed over to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong was about to open it when Luo Bai interjected, "Monkey Brother, be careful of tricks!"

"Don't worry,"

Sun Wukong said with a smile and a dismissive wave, "If Demon Master Kunpeng really wanted to harm your old Sun, he could have just done it directly. He wouldn't need to resort to such schemes!"

Others might not know the true strength of Demon Master Kunpeng's cultivation, but Sun Wukong knew it all too well. Certainly stronger than Ran Deng Buddha, Kunpeng gave off a feeling similar to that of Donghua Emperor—they must be beings at the peak of half-step saintly existence.

If Kunpeng wanted to hurt him, Sun Wukong wouldn't be able to resist at all, so there was no need for Kunpeng to use such methods.

Moreover, Demon Master Kunpeng had indeed promised long ago to give Sun Wukong a gift that would lay a foundation for his future. Sun Wukong was very curious about what this gift could be.

The ornate box was opened, and two dazzling beams of light burst forth. A scroll rose from the box, along with an ancient book. The two fused in mid-air into one mysterious tortoiseshell the size of a palm, inscribed with patterns, and landed in Sun Wukong's hand.

"Is this... the River Diagram and Luo Script?"

Sun Wukong's eyes widened in shock. He recognized the tortoiseshell. The Scripture Pavilion in the Three-Star Cave Heaven had records on the treasures of Zhou Tian, and this was the Superior Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the River Diagram and Luo Script.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation of the Ancient Primeval Demon Clan's Heavenly Court was set up using this very River Diagram and Luo Script!

It was said that after the great Witch-Demon War, Demon Master Kunpeng took the River Diagram and Luo Script, and since then, there had been no trace of it. Sun Wukong had never imagined that Kunpeng had kept it all this time, and even more unexpected was that Demon Master Kunpeng would gift such a treasure to him!
