Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

```

The dazzling golden light shot out from Sun Wukong's eyes, aiming towards the base of the main peak. The ground above the base of the main peak began to shimmer with the golden light and gradually turned translucent. Deep beneath the earth, the spectacle of nine dragon veins converging became visible.

"Wonderful!"

Luo Bai's eyes widened, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him, his heart filled with shock and insatiable curiosity about what Sun Wukong was up to. It was too incredible!

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

The commotion atop the main peak of Flower-Fruit Mountain once again attracted a crowd from the Demon Cult. However, with the full-force activation of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye, the gravitational field near the main peak of Flower-Fruit Mountain had become extremely peculiar.

Except for the Bull Demon King and a few other Great Demon Kings, only Taiyi Scattered Immortals like Leng Xuan and Sun Wushuang could reach the top of the main peak.

"What's the boss doing?"

The Bull Demon King and others arrived at the top of the peak and saw the Jiao Demon King and Peng Demon King standing behind Sun Wukong. They couldn't help but feel curious and glanced at Luo Bai with a hint of wariness in their eyes, "A Taiyi Golden Immortal, how come a Sword Immortal from Human Race is here?"

Luo Bai emanated a faint, sharp sword qi, a characteristic unique to Sword Immortals of the Human Race. With the discerning sight of the Bull Demon King and the others, they could tell at a glance that Luo Bai's cultivation was higher than anyone present, already at the realm of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Yet, he didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

The Peng Demon King and Jiao Demon King did not display any hostility towards him, which was really quite strange.

"This is the boss's friend, named Luo Bai. The boss said we can trust him, so there's no need to hide anything."

The Jiao Demon King explained Sun Wukong's intention to investigate the secret of the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation of Dragon Veins underneath Flower-Fruit Mountain. The Bull Demon King and the others suddenly understood, and their eyes ignited with excitement. They had already heard about the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation from Sun Wukong before.

The main reason they, the Six Great Demon Kings, were willing to relocate their dwellings to Flower-Fruit Mountain was this formation. However, Sun Wukong hadn't explained in detail what advantages such a land pattern had. Now it seemed like the time had come to unveil the secret.

Nine massive dragon veins converged from the bases of Flower-Fruit Mountain's nine peaks, heading towards the main peak near the Eastern Sea.

Where they converged deep underground formed a point that, when viewed from the top of the peak through the now transparent earth, one could faintly see a huge ochre-colored light sphere—that was the Stellar Spiritual Qi formed by the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars!

Stellar Spiritual Qi, usually found only in the outer realms of space, was extremely rare within the Three Realms. To obtain it, one had to draw it in from outer space using special methods. Of course, there is another exception, which is the Stellar Spiritual Qi that emerges from the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation.

As the stars shine in the sky, Stellar Spiritual Qi is much more refined than the dense spiritual energy of the earth, and it has a unique property of lightness. The current Human Heavenly Court was established on top of the old site of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court during the Ancient Primeval times.

The Heavenly Court is able to float above the Ninth Layer of Heaven because of the Stellar Spiritual Qi gathered by the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation.

After countless years of evolution, the nine dragon veins of the Heavenly Court have transformed from tangible to intangible, becoming the foundation stone of the Heavenly Court. The Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain also has the same Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation but has not yet reached the stage where the Stellar Spiritual Qi can transform the dragon veins.

Therefore, the Spiritual Mountain is still connected to the earth.

The current situation of Flower-Fruit Mountain is somewhat similar to the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain, but also different. The Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation at the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain has been fully manifested and is getting stronger as time passes, whereas the one at Flower-Fruit Mountain has not been fully manifested and seems to be constrained by some force.

"What is that?"

As the Celestial Fox Clan, proficient in the study of formations and prohibitions, especially natural formations and illusion arrays, Leng Xuan was the first to notice something off about the Formation beneath the main peak. Next to the giant light sphere formed by Stellar Spiritual Qi, there was a tiny black spot that could easily be overlooked due to the brilliance of the Stellar Spiritual Qi.

"That's a person!"

As the Void-Breaking Divine Eye was released by Sun Wukong, no one could see more clearly than him. Before Leng Xuan, Sun Wukong had already noticed the black spot next to the Stellar Spiritual Qi light sphere, which was a figure, a humanoid shadow locked next to the light sphere by nine faintly visible light bands.

Behind the figure, there was an imperceptible black hole, and of all the people present, only Sun Wukong could clearly see that it was a spatial black hole, emanating waves of dark aura filled with violent nature, seemingly similar to the aura exuding from the figure.

"Swoosh!"

Golden light retracted back into his eyes, and Sun Wukong, looking somewhat exhausted, ceased the full-force activation of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye. He took out a Nine Spirits Gathering Pill that he had refined and swallowed it, then sat down cross-legged to refine and absorb it.

He had already consumed one Nine Spirits Gathering Pill during the activation of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye, but unexpectedly, he could not sustain it for very long. Thankfully, with the protection of the spirit pill, although the consumption was great, his core strength remained unharmed.

```

There's definitely something wrong with the Underground Dragon Vein of Flower-Fruit Mountain!

Under the gaze of the Void-Breaking Divine Eye, Sun Wukong could see it clearly: the stellar spiritual qi formed by the convergence of the nine Dragon Veins of Flower-Fruit Mountain seemed to be suppressing the entrance of a spatial channel, incidentally sealing a person as well.

Intuition told Sun Wukong that the person being suppressed was definitely not simple; otherwise, they could have just killed him directly. There was no need to waste the stellar spiritual qi.

With the aid of the Nine Spirits Gathering Pill, Sun Wukong quickly recovered from his exertion, opened his eyes, stood up, and turned around to see everyone casting their fixed gazes upon him, which made him laugh, "What are you all doing, just staring at me like that?"

"Big brother, who is the person next to the stellar spiritual qi, did you see it clearly?"

Jiao Demon King Long Chao was the first to ask, everyone staring at Sun Wukong, waiting for his answer.

"I didn't see it clearly, but it seems to be sealed. There's also a spatial channel being sealed by the stellar spiritual qi behind him, so our Flower-Fruit Mountain's Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation can't exert its proper effect."

Sun Wukong gently shook his head, "I need to observe more to see how to unravel the seal and guide out the stellar spiritual qi."

It was such a waste to use so much stellar spiritual qi for suppression. Naturally, Sun Wukong wouldn't stand idly by and watch such a great advantage of Flower-Fruit Mountain be squandered. However, this was not something to be rushed; it needed to be approached slowly.

Without giving a further explanation, Sun Wukong dispersed all the onlookers. The Bull Demon King among the several great Demon Kings returned to their respective Cave Dwellings to continue arranging the relocation.

Jiao Demon King and Peng Demon King also departed, while Sun Wukong took Leng Xuan and Luo Bai back to the newly built wooden house next to the big tree deep in the Water Curtain Cave Heaven.

"Monkey brother, aren't you planning to immediately unravel that damn seal?"

Luo Bai was somewhat puzzled. Flower-Fruit Mountain possessed the potential to grow into a power like the Heavenly Court and Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain; they just needed to lift the seal on the power of the stars. Sun Wukong didn't seem to have this intention at all. What exactly was he thinking?

"The seal must be lifted, but not now."

Sun Wukong shook his head, "In just over twenty years, my lifespan will come to an end, and the Netherworld will send a Soul-Reaping Messenger to take my soul. After coming back from the Netherworld, it will not be too late to break the seal!"

From the moment he saw the stellar spiritual qi light sphere beneath the main peak of Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong had thought it through clearly – now was absolutely not the time to lift the seal.

Despite his configuration of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation around Flower-Fruit Mountain, which could conceal destiny and block external investigations, once the stellar spiritual qi was unsealed, the Primordial Unity Grand Formation would definitely not be able to conceal the auspicious qi rising to the sky caused by the stellar spiritual qi.

Heavenly Court and the Western Buddhist Kingdom would surely notice Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The Netherworld controls the cycle of life and death for all beings in the Three Realms, relying on the Human Record Life and Death Register and the Judge's Pen. Each cycle of reincarnation within the Three Realms manifests in the Reincarnation Register, and only the Judge's Pen can rewrite it. This rewriting is irreversible.

Sun Wukong's plan was to let things develop along their original trajectory, to wait for the Soul-Reaping Messenger to take him to the Netherworld, to wait for the Ten Yama Kings to present the Reincarnation Register and Judge's Pen before him, allowing him to eradicate the names of himself and the Demon Clan affiliated with Flower-Fruit Mountain from the Reincarnation Register, freeing them from the constraints of reincarnation!

"Monkey brother, you are already a Taiyi Scattered Immortal with cultivation. You should be beyond the Three Realms and not confined by the Five Elements. The Netherworld shouldn't be able to control you now, so why would they send a Soul-Reaping Messenger to take your soul? Aren't you overthinking it?"

Luo Bai and Leng Xuan exchanged glances, blinking. Not just them, but anyone hearing this would find it strange. The pursuit of the Dao and the quest for immortality is for transcendence.

Once the first of the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations, the Doomsday Thunder Disaster, is overcome, control of life and death is no longer with the Netherworld, and the name is automatically erased from the Reincarnation Register. How could Sun Wukong's name still be there if he is a Taiyi Scattered Immortal?

"I can't be sure about this matter, but my name is indeed still on the Reincarnation Register; there's no doubt about that!"

Honestly, Sun Wukong himself could not understand it. Other people's names would disappear from the Reincarnation Register once they broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm. Why was his an exception? This did not make sense! Of course, if someone had tampered with it, that would be a different matter. Sun Wukong had a vague suspicion in his heart but currently had no way to verify it.

Once he went to the Netherworld, however, he would have to find a chance to get to the bottom of this!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Little White, where did you go after we parted from the Heavenly Court, and how did your cultivation grow so quickly?"

After instructing a little demon to prepare a lavish banquet, Sun Wukong, Luo Bai, and Leng Xuan sat down to drink together in the wooden house. After a couple of drinks, Sun Wukong looked at Luo Bai with a smile and asked. Upon this reunion, Luo Bai's aura was distinctly different — the young man must have had some great adventure!
