Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 735 - 736 Establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court (2nd Update)

The establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was unstoppable now. The Jade Emperor, currently at his weakest after demonization, definitely did not want to settle accounts with Sun Wukong once he was freed up.

There were celestial treasures within the Heavenly Court that could alleviate the damage from demonization. The Jade Emperor needed to hurry back; if delayed, his body would suffer irreversible damage.

Watching the Heavenly Court’s army begin their retreat, a hint of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. He could only sigh deeply, giving Hou Yi a profound look before ascending into the clouds and returning to the Human Race Heavenly Palace.

"Ancestral Buddha, what do we do now?"

Ran Deng Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and other Buddhists flew to Tathagata Buddha and asked, as the stronger members of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult also withdrew back to Flower-Fruit Mountain’s Barrier.

"Let’s withdraw."

Tathagata Buddha sighed.

"Just let it be? Watching that Demon Monkey establish the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court?"

Ran Deng Buddha said with reluctance.

"What else can be done?"

Tathagata Buddha scoffed, "The complete Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, can you break it? Don’t think that because Sun Wukong has now withdrawn the formation, if we attack Flower-Fruit Mountain’s Great Formation Barrier again, he can activate the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation at any time!"

Ran Deng Buddha fell silent. He knew Tathagata Buddha was not exaggerating. If they from the Buddhist Sect continued their attack, it would certainly provoke a counterattack from Sun Wukong. Under the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, who could ensure that they would be able to retreat unscathed?

The Buddhist Sect began to retreat, and the relentless thunder striking down from the heavens finally ceased. The heavens acknowledged the existence of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court.

Auspicious clouds began to disperse both inside and outside the Heaven Realm’s space. A thicker Immortal Spiritual Qi began to spread within the space of the Heaven Realm, which slowly ascended towards the high skies. Rising higher and higher, it finally stabilized high above, just like the Human Heavenly Court, reaching high into the heavens and solidifying its position.

Suddenly, endless rosy light and auspicious colors manifested above the sky. Accompanying this, a massive image of Flower-Fruit Mountain also materialized above the sky, visible throughout the Three Realms, including the Netherworld and the spaces of various clans.

The shadow of the Immortal Palace and the auspicious lights signified the founding of a Heavenly Court!

Knowledgeable individuals from all realms clearly understood that the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, based on Flower-Fruit Mountain, was planned and personally established by Sun Wukong!

This Great Sage Equalling Heaven, perhaps should hereafter be known as the Demon Emperor Equalling Heaven!

"Snap!"

Within the Heavenly Court, inside the chambers of the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor furiously smashed his jade cup onto the ground.

"Ah~!"

A furious roar erupted from the Jade Emperor.

Demon Emperor Equalling Heaven!

Demon Emperor Equalling Heaven!

That demon monkey!

Why should he? What right does he have to become the Lord of the Heavenly Court just as he himself has?

The establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was like a harsh slap across the Jade Emperor’s face, rendering it painfully burning, filled mainly with a profound sense of humiliation. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

He is the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race Heavenly Court!

Human Race Heavenly Court, what an ironic title! Before the establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, there was only one Heavenly Court within the Three Realms, and he was the sole Heavenly Emperor!

But now, with another Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court and another Equal to Heaven Demon Emperor, he was no longer the master of the Three Realms, not even nominally!

His status had become the same as that monkey Sun Wukong, who had risen from the bath and was crowned; even in the eyes of many, Sun Wukong was the true Lord of the Heavenly Court, while he, the Jade Emperor, was merely a puppet.

"Detestable! Detestable!"

The Jade Emperor clenched his fists and roared in a bent posture, "Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong! Don’t you feel proud! I won’t let you get your way! I, Hao Tian, am the true master of the Three Realms!"

...

The establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court stirred up an immense uproar across all Three Realms, with forces feeling angry, worried, and some even joyful. However, everyone knew that the structure of the Three Realms was likely to undergo significant changes!

Sun Wukong did not care about how the outside world viewed the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court; he didn’t have the time to care, because as the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was established, a vast amount of merit and destiny transformed into nine-colored celestial light, pouring down from the sky into the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

As the lord of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, the freshly acclaimed Equal to Heaven Demon Emperor, Sun Wukong received the most merit and destiny. However, he was not following the path of Slaying the Three Corpses to Merge with the Dao and Become a Saint, a path he had already traveled. Thus, this merit and destiny were extremely limited in helping him; it wasn’t enough to let him prove the Tao by force, but it was different for others.

A blue light shot up into the sky, followed by a sky full of radiant light. A huge white fox phantom manifested in the sky, then transformed into the form of Leng Xuan.

Leng Xuan was the first to utilize the vast amount of merit and destiny to break through to the Saint Realm of the Heavenly Dao, becoming a Slaying Two Corpses Merit Saint.

Leng Xuan, originally the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu and a successor of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe, had reached the Half-Step Saint Realm quite early. He was initially ready to break through, but, inspired by Sun Wukong, he decided to slay two more corpses before proving the Tao, which is why it had been delayed until now.

Leng Xuan was very clear about his own innate ability; he was not a genius like Sun Wukong, Six-Eared Macaque, or Erlang God Yang Jian. Even with the help of the Heavenly Dao’s merit and destiny, he could not reach the level of Slaying Three Corpses to Merge with the Dao and Become a Saint. Slaying Two Corpses to become a Saint was already his limit. Whether he could slay the Third Corpse – the Corpse of Desire – and elevate his power to another level in the future, that remained to be seen.

For now, it was better to take advantage of the merit and destiny provided by the establishment of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court to prove the Tao and become a Saint first!

Luo Bai was the second to attain sainthood; he was a Sword Cultivator. Slaying Two Corpses to prove the Tao was enough for him. As for slaying the Third Corpse and merging the Three Corpses, well, as his master, the Leader of Tongtian, said, it was still possible to slowly improve after proving the Tao.

Others also made significant progress. Six-Eared Macaque, Erlang God Yang Jian, Nezha the Third Prince, and others were following the path of Slaying Three Corpses to Merge with the Dao and Become Saints, like Sun Wukong had before. With the help of the merit and destiny, they had mostly reached the realm of Slaying Three Corpses, but there was still a distance to achieving the merger to become Saints.

What surprised Sun Wukong a bit was that the Venerable Guanyin had proven the Tao and become a Saint before Venerable Ksitigarbha!

Like Luo Bai, Venerable Guanyin had become a Saint by Slaying Two Corpses and then utilizing merit and destiny. After a brief surprise, Sun Wukong calmed down. With Guanyin’s talent, if assisted by a vast amount of merit and destiny, she should have proven the Tao and become a Saint long ago. The reason it had taken so long was that most of the merit and destiny within the Buddhist sect were absorbed by Tathagata Buddha, leaving her very little.

Seeing others proving the Tao one after another, Sun Wukong felt a bit envious, but he soon let it go.

Now was an era of great contention, where becoming a Saint was much easier than before. It could be said that Saints were everywhere, and Sub-Saints were as common as dogs!
