Chapter 657 -658: The Return of the Myriad Races (Third Release!)
(PS: Another chapter coming later!)
After leaving the Thunder Sound Temple in the Small Western Heaven, Jiang Liu’er and company continued their westward journey. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong quietly followed from the shadows, offering his protection. Before they knew it, another two years had passed, and they arrived at the Silk-Spun Ridge.
Without any surprise, Jiang Liu’er was once again captured by the seven spider spirits from the Silk-Spun Cave, prompting Yuan Hong to employ various transformation techniques in an attempt to rescue him. Fortunately, they were finally able to rescue Jiang Liu’er, setting the Silk-Spun Cave ablaze before continuing their journey westward.
Initially, Sun Wukong intended to subdue the seven spider spirits and their offspring by force. Just then, he received a message from his true self at Flower-Fruit Mountain that Zi Xia Fairy’s missing soul and spirits had been fully replenished, and she could leave seclusion!
Thereupon, Sun Wukong rode the clouds straight back to Flower-Fruit Mountain. As for Jiang Liu’er and his companions, they should be fine. After all, the scripture-seeking journey to the west was a scheme devised by the Buddhist and Taoist sects to deceive the Heavenly Dao and claim its merit and fortune. As long as no other races interfered, there shouldn’t be any problems, and Yuan Hong and the others ought to try solving their issues themselves.
In the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, inside the Heaven-Piercing Tower at the Flower-Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave Heaven.
“My true self!”
Upon seeing his true self and Zi Xia Fairy walking out from the ninth-layer secret chamber, Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered with excitement. He approached his true self and merged back into one.
“Phew~!”
Sun Wukong took a long breath. Although an external incarnation could exist independently from the main body for an extended period, Sun Wukong always felt that something was missing when not merged. His Soul’s True Spirit couldn’t reach a perfect state, and naturally, his cultivation progress was considerably slow.
One could say that over these few years, neither Sun Wukong nor his external incarnation had made any progress at all!
However, Sun Wukong had no regrets, as all these sacrifices were worth it. He had finally restored the lost soul and spirits of Zi Xia Fairy. She was no longer constrained by her original lamp wick, and her essence was completely separated from Qing Xia Fairy.
From this moment on, Zi Xia Fairy had become a completely independent entity. The life and death of Qing Xia Fairy would no longer have the slightest effect on her!
“Qing Xia Fairy, I and Zi Xia have matters to discuss. You may leave the tower for now; Leng Xuan will make arrangements for you,” Sun Wukong said, looking at Qing Xia Fairy, who stood before them wearing an annoyed expression.
“You!”
Qing Xia Fairy looked at Sun Wukong angrily, but he seemed completely nonchalant and at ease. In the past, he tolerated Qing Xia Fairy only for the sake of Zi Xia Fairy, but now that the connection between their essences had been severed, Sun Wukong had no reason to endure Qing Xia Fairy any longer.
“Qing Xia Fairy, I have been quite polite to you. You would be wise to restrain yourself and not overstep. Otherwise…”
A flash of cold light glinted in Sun Wukong’s eyes. Qing Xia Fairy’s previously raised palm trembled and lowered. Had it been before, she would have slapped Sun Wukong without any hesitation. But now that her life force was separated from Zi Xia Fairy, her own safety could no longer threaten Zi Xia, and she dared not deliver that slap.
Qing Xia Fairy knew full well that with Sun Wukong’s temperament, should she truly strike, not only would it not harm him in the slightest, but he would also no longer show her any mercy!
Damn monkey, don’t get too smug, just wait!
After cursing Divine Wukong in her heart a few times, Qing Xia Fairy reluctantly walked out of the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
“Zi Xia!”
Sun Wukong looked at Zi Xia Fairy, and suddenly hugged her tightly. Zi Xia Fairy also reached out to hold Sun Wukong’s back, and the two of them embraced tightly. Although silent, their embrace spoke volumes beyond words.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Out of the clear sky, sudden peals of thunder resounded, and waves of power fluctuations began to emanate towards Flower-Fruit Mountain from all directions. Sun Wukong, in the midst of embracing Zi Xia Fairy, suddenly changed and looked up, “Such intense spatial fluctuations! Which race is returning?”
“Wukong, what’s wrong?”
Zi Xia Fairy noticed the change in Sun Wukong’s expression and asked with a frown of concern.
“Nothing!”
Sun Wukong gently shook his head, “Your Divine Soul has just recovered, and you still need to properly recuperate. Stay and cultivate inside this Heaven-Piercing Tower for a while longer. I, Old Sun, will come to see you again after some time!”
“Wukong, you…”
Zi Xia Fairy hesitated, sensing that something was amiss with Sun Wukong’s demeanor.
“Don’t worry, I, Old Sun, can handle the matters outside. Just focus on your cultivation!”
Sun Wukong offered a carefree smile, kissed Zi Xia Fairy gently on her forehead, and turned to leave the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
…
At the boundary of the Southern Continent, a massive spatial black hole was expanding. It was a full mile across, with strong spatial fluctuations spreading out from it in all directions.
This was a space tunnel connecting two realms!
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Such a huge space tunnel had never been seen before, not even by Sun Wukong who had only seen such a tunnel at the bottom of the Endless Abyss.
Moreover, the space tunnel continued to expand until it stabilized at a diameter of ten miles. Wisps of the Space Force emerged from it, gathering at the boundary of the Southern Continent. When the space tunnel dissipated, a giant island connected to the Southern Continent emerged at its boundary, forcibly pushing apart the waters of the Southern Sea.
“Our Ancient Race has finally returned!”
A group of peculiar-looking people with star-like patterns on their foreheads appeared on the newly formed island. Each of them had an imposing aura that engulfed the entire boundary of the Southern Continent in thunder.
The same scenario was unfolding at the boundaries of the Western Continent of Cattle-grazing, Eastern Victorious Divine Continent, and the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing. One space tunnel after another began to emerge, and unlike the previous return of the Night Tribe, who simply sent their people over, this time the space tunnels were unprecedentedly vast. The powerful Ancient Races, along with their homelands, were returning to the Three Realms, and huge islands began to appear in the oceans beyond the four continents, nearly doubling the size of the Three Realms Space!
An age of great strife, the return of myriad races!
The entire Three Realms Space trembled, and a sense of an impending war enveloped the Three Realms. Not only Sun Wukong, but every Quasi-Saint and stronger beings within the Three Realms sensed it, and their faces instantly became grave.
“Eight, nine, ten! A total of ten islands have appeared, ten powerful auras! Ten Ancient Races have returned!”
Sun Wukong hovered above the Heaven-Piercing Tower, his Divine Sense spreading out, enveloping nearly the entire Three Realms. Although his cultivation had fallen from Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm to Half-Step Saint because of the creation of an External Incarnation, his greatly strengthened Divine Soul and Divine Sense had not diminished.
