Great Demon Sun Wukong

After flicking away the Eight-Gods Flame with one finger, Sun Wukong reverted to his normal form. That’s because at this point, Wukong had realized the reason why, immediately after reporting his name, the Eight-Gods Flame had attacked him.

From Nezha’s memories, Wukong learned that besides his own Earth Attribute and Nezha’s Metal System that had transformed into human form, the other three pieces of the Five-Colored Divine Stone were guarded by several ancient clans.

After Nuwa mended the heavens, she foresaw her imminent Dao Transformation and used the remaining life force to divine with the turtle shell of a great turtle. The divination showed that the Demon Clan’s fate was running out, and that a catastrophe would befall them in a million years.

To leave a glimmer of hope for the Demon Clan, Nuwa split one of the Five-Colored Divine Stones into five and scattered them across the land of the Nine Provinces.

Moreover, she secretly commanded several major clans of the Demon Clan to guard them and revealed through divination that, one day, a person called the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, would come to retrieve the Five Elements Divine Stones. This person named Sun Wukong would be invincible, immensely powerful, and become the last hope for the Demon Clan.

Thus, the great goddess Nuwa completed her Dao Transformation. She dissipated into the universe, but those five major clans persisted in following the last wishes of Lady Nuwa, vowing to protect the Five Elements Divine Stones to their deaths.

After that, a monumental war erupted in the Three Realms, and after the war, only about thirty to forty percent of the countless Demon Clan members survived, with those remaining being the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

From then on, the Demon Clan never recovered from its decline. However, before the great war, the five major clans had already sent their experts with the five Divine Stones to go into hiding. Even if the Demon Clan were to be annihilated, they must not appear unless the one named Sun Wukong came along.

Another million years then passed, during which the clans guarding the Earth System and Metal System Divine Stones faced accidents, causing both stones to fall into the Mortal World. Due to falling into the Mortal World and absorbing too much human aura, they changed unexpectedly.

The Metal Attribute Divine Stone transformed into Nezha, while the Earth Attribute Divine Stone, mingling with the aura of the monkeys surrounding Flower Fruit Mountain, gave birth to a Stone Monkey.

In the intervening million years, the guardians of the remaining three Divine Stones did not rest but instead met several individuals named Sun Wukong who came to collect the Divine Stones. However, due to inadequate strength, they were successively defeated by the three clans’ guardians.

With this, another question emerges. Why were there so many people named Sun Wukong searching for the Divine Stones? Because when that Earth Attribute Divine Stone fell into the Mortal World and absorbed the human aura, thereby transforming, its first transformation was not the current Sun Wukong but a human incarnation who also shared the name Sun Wukong.

When this human Sun Wukong grew up, he inherited the memories Nuwa had infused into the Divine Stone. Thus, the human Sun Wukong began seeking the other Five Elements Divine Stones.

Unfortunately, after the human Sun Wukong painstakingly found the Fire Attribute Divine Stone, due to insufficient strength, he was defeated by the Ghost Charm tribal leader Meng Gui’s move, "One Dream in Three Thousand Realms". From then on, he was at a standstill until his death.

After the death of the human Sun Wukong, his soul and flesh returned to their origin, transforming into a boulder. After that, he was reborn and died repeatedly, failing to successfully obtain the Divine Stones each time due to lack of strength.

The tribal chiefs of the three clans did not hinder this reincarnation because Lady Nuwa had said that the true hope of the Demon Clan would be one who is invincible. No one would be able to defeat him.

However, this cycle of reincarnation had its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that with each rebirth, Sun Wukong’s strength increased, but the disadvantage was also significant: with each reincarnation, the memories inherited from Nuwa within the Divine Stone faded a little more.

Until the forty-ninth reincarnation, which is the current Monkey King, Sun Wukong. Born with the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal, after arduous cultivation under Patriarch Bodhi, he reached the level of a mid-level Emperor. Sadly, because the number of reincarnations had reached its limit, all memories of Nuwa’s legacy were lost.

It wasn’t until later, when he merged with Nezha’s Divine Stone, that he learned of his mission.

Nezha’s story is yet another tale, but let’s not get into that for now.

The time returns to the present. Having understood everything, Sun Wukong naturally lost his desire to kill the Eight-Gods Flame, realizing that the opponent was simply testing his strength. Though he had made an attack, he did not blame him, as it was all determined by destiny. The Five Elements Divine Stones are not so easily obtained by everyone, right?

A moment later, a figure flew in from the distance, heading straight to where the Eight-Gods Flame was. Wukong knew that someone from the Aquatic Tribe was coming. Although what had happened was somewhat excessive, there was no malice intended; since he had injured someone, it was only right to go and check on them.

Otherwise, it would be hard to justify his actions, especially since he was about to retrieve the Water System Divine Stone soon; it was best not to let relations turn too sour. Thus, Sun Wukong slowly walked towards the direction of the newcomer.

Halfway through their journey, they saw Eight-Gods Flame being carried by another person, stumbling forward. Before Sun Wukong could speak, Eight-Gods Flame opened his mouth to say, "Sun Wukong, you have finally arrived. We’ve waited millions of years for you, and you have finally come. Moreover, you defeated me effortlessly, proving that you are the true hope of our Demon Clan. Welcome back."

After saying these words, as if he had aggravated his wounds, he fainted once again. Even with his thick skin, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but blush. An entire clan had worked tirelessly for millions of years to guard the Divine Stone without wavering, yet he had seriously injured and nearly killed their leader. This really was inexcusable.

While Sun Wukong was flustered and feeling guilty, the member of the Aquatic Tribe supporting Eight-Gods Flame waved his hand at Sun Wukong, saying, "You need not feel guilty, for if we really count, our Aquatic Tribe has killed you a total of 15 times. Although 14 of those times were because you lost your will to fight after being defeated by us, we still can’t avoid responsibility.

So, you don’t need to blame yourself, this is all for the sake of the Demon Clan. Come, follow me to the Demon Ice City. That is where our Aquatic Tribe gathers."

Since the other party had said that, Sun Wukong had no more to say, otherwise, it would seem insincere, so he followed the Aquatic Tribesperson and flew back to the gathering place of the Aquatic Tribe—the Demon Ice City!

After traveling north with the man for a full three Chinese hours, they finally saw a vast city constructed entirely of cold ice. The entire Ice City was surrounded by a massive wall; at a glance, the wall was a hundred meters tall and thirty meters thick, resembling a gigantic iceberg.

However, when Sun Wukong and the Aquatic Tribesperson approached the city gate with Eight-Gods Flame, Sun Wukong was shocked once again. His previous astonishment was due to the magnitude of the Ice City, and this time, it was its luxury that amazed him. Why do I say so?

Because it was only when Sun Wukong entered the city gate that he suddenly realized that the massive hundred-meter-high, thirty-meter-thick wall was entirely made of Lingfeng Ice.

Lingfeng Ice is a precious material found only in extremely cold regions, where a piece the size of a palm requires a mountain of Cold Ice, located in an extreme cold and yin environment, to be blown by a special spirit wind for over a century. Eventually, the mountain would shrink to a piece the size of a palm, which would become Lingfeng Ice.

This spirit wind is no ordinary breeze; it’s a very bizarre kind of wind. When this wind blows, all things are unaffected. Regardless of what it is, it would pass directly through. However, when it encounters the extremely cold ice mountains, it will become visible and encircle the mountain, steadily rotating until the entire ice mountain transforms into a piece of Lingfeng Ice.

This demonstrates how rare Lingfeng Ice is. Yet, the Aquatic Tribe used this ice to construct a colossal city wall, which was a tremendous feat!

Seeing the shock in Sun Wukong’s eyes, the Aquatic Tribesman simply gave a slight smile without going into detail, just standing there waiting for Sun Wukong. It seemed he was not in a hurry about Eight-Gods Flame’s injuries, and in fact, that was true.

No matter how severe the injury a person of the Aquatic Tribe suffered, as long as they were not dead and could return to the Demon Ice City within 12 Chinese hours, there was no need for worry.

So the Aquatic Tribesman just quietly waited for Sun Wukong. A moment later, Sun Wukong suddenly came to his senses, feeling all the more embarrassed. Fortunately, the other party didn’t say anything, merely giving a faint smile before directly entering the city with Eight-Gods Flame. Sun Wukong quickly followed.

It seemed that ever since the Aquatic Tribesperson appeared, Sun Wukong uncontrollably felt a lot more embarrassment.

After passing through the more than thirty-meter-long city gate, Sun Wukong’s eyes lit up. The inside of the city was a stark contrast to the outside—outside was a world of ice and snow, whereas inside was an earthly paradise. There were flowers and trees, leaves and fruits. And the fragrance of the fruits was so familiar.

Sun Wukong’s face was immediately covered in tears, but at that moment, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a place. In an instant, like seeing a ghost or being struck by lightning, he stood petrified on the spot, motionless for a long while.

If you followed Sun Wukong’s gaze, you would see a large mountain with a waterfall. The mountain sides beside the waterfall had been levelled off with great magical power.
