Chapter 415: Black Monkey Great Sage Reincarnation? Repairing the Great Sage's Soul

~12 min read 2,328 words

What are these six root instruments? I'll figure it out for a moment and then ask.

"Luode, I think this horse-headed person won't tell us anything; why don't you let me take him away?" Aizelas said.

Aizelas world has centaurs, but no horse-headed people! This is a rare species.

After Aizelas finished speaking, he directly tore open the rope binding the horse-person.

"This grandma is just joking! I already have a master; I really can't be taken back by you two." The black horse-person hurriedly said.

"What's the situation? This is going to have me captured! This person's ability is extraordinary; with a casual move he undid the rope binding me; I probably couldn't last two moves in his hands? 'You just said you came out to fetch reinforcements to save your king, right? In that case, I'll help you save your king, and then you become my servant, how about that?' Aizelas said."

"This is indeed inappropriate; I already follow my master, how could I abandon him? Grandma, please don't joke." The horse-headed person said.

"If you want to save your king, you should show him loyalty; following me is the only way to save your king; if you refuse, it means you don't want to save your king." Aizelas said.

This horse-headed person looks kinda stupid! Can't help it, it's too fun; since I've come to Aizelas world, I must figure out how to create some horse-headed people.

"If you don't agree, you'll have something coming to you." Luode said, then unleashed his small cosmos pressure.

The black horse-headed person instantly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, both hooves trembling, his body shaking uncontrollably.

"Ugh! Fine! Fine, if you two can save my king, then I'll serve you two without any major issue." The horse-headed person sighed helplessly and said.

Goodness, these two's abilities are extraordinary; even in front of my king, he's never felt this powerless—just a glance from them leaves him unable to move.

It seems these two's abilities can truly save my king; good, I'll bring them back. If they can really save my king, then even if I sacrifice my life, it will be worth it, and afterward I'll serve them as an ox or a horse.

"That's right, who is your king? Tell me what trouble you're having." Luode asked.

"My king is called Ping Tian Da Sheng, also known as Niu Mo Wang!"

He's a top-notch hero under heaven! It's a pity the hero has waned; now old, he's being bullied by his own son.

"That scoundrel imprisoned my king on Flaming Mountain, blocked the path up the mountain; I came out specially to fetch reinforcements, hoping to find someone to go back and save him." The horse-headed person said.

"Your king is the Ox Demon King? Sun Wukong's sworn brother!" Luode asked with a look of surprise.

I've caught a big fish; the Ox Demon King's strength is still not bad. However, if this is a world hundreds of years after Journey to the West ended, then Red Boy should be cultivating with Guanyin Bodhisattva, right?

How did he end up back on Flaming Mountain and even call for help from his own father? Moreover, wasn't the Ox Demon King taken away by the Buddhist sect?

I just feel something's off; this world exudes a strange feeling everywhere, making Luode feel creeped out.

"Dealing with son against father, isn't that the same as Aersasi? No problem, we'll help you with this, you say, right? Luode." Aizelas said.

"Have you two agreed? Great, great, then I'll now take you two masters back to Flaming Mountain; please help my king escape trouble, and by the way subdue that unfilial son Red Boy." The horse-headed person said.

After being out this long, I've finally found reinforcements; this time I haven't let my king down.

"Red Boy wasn't taken by the South Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva to become Shancai Tongzi? How did he end up back on Flaming Mountain? Hasn't the Ox Demon King converted to the Buddhist sect?"

"This is actually an old score from a few hundred years ago; my king cultivated in the Buddhist sect for a while, then returned to live on Flaming Mountain; as for Red Boy that wretched creature, I don't know what happened—he escaped from the South Sea Guanyin, and his temper became extremely violent, even imprisoning the old king." The horse-headed person said.

This plot, Luode has no clue at all! He knows that the continuation of Journey to the West is only the Journey to the West Sequel.

Just as Luode was pondering the problem, a figure suddenly appeared near the village entrance, holding a red iron rod, with a hairy face and thunder god's mouth, wearing a set of black armor, with a red gourd hung at the waist.

"Holy shit, Great Sage!" Upon seeing the other's appearance, Luode exclaimed.

After all, that image is engraved in the bones of Eastern people; even after so many years of crossing over, Luode still remembers that look.

"Great Sage? This old man is joking; that little monkey over there is no Great Sage, he's just a little monkey demon; I saw him once when I was at Black Wind Mountain." The horse-headed person immediately shook his head and said.

The skinny little monkey only knows a bit of rudimentary martial arts, just an immobilization technique and a set of giant dispersion spells; his strength is only slightly above that of ordinary little demons.

How could he compare to the one who caused havoc in Heaven's Palace?

Upon hearing this, Luode also nodded; the other's staff is indeed not the As-you-will Golden Cudgel, and his armor is not golden chainmail.

Instead, it's a black armor; as for his appearance, it's indeed a monkey with a hairy face and thunder god's mouth, and looks exactly like a certain Great Sage elder.

It's not like that; why does Luode find him increasingly familiar the more he looks?

"Heaven's Chosen!" Luode called out tentatively.

That monkey originally intended to leave, but upon hearing the three words 'Heaven's Chosen', he immediately turned his head, came before Luode, Aizelas, and the horse-headed person, and didn't say a word.

"Also there's the monkey race; speaking of which, I recall Pandaliya also has a Handsome Monkey King!" Aizelas said, stroking his chin.

"Sir and madam, the monkey's head indeed cannot speak."

"Before, when I met him at Black Wind Ridge, I was talking to myself; he didn't say a word, seeming like a mute!" The horse-headed person said.

However, Luode furrowed his brows; this little monkey's energy response is indeed not strong, only a bit stronger than ordinary demons.

But now Luode knows what world he's come to; the problem is this world's plot, Luode knows nothing about it, only knowing this is a world where one retraces the Journey to the West.

No way, when I time-traveled, this big work seemed not yet released!

"His soul is a bit strange, Luode, can you tell? It seems, seems asleep inside his body, controlling his form, like, like just a thread of obsession driving it!" Aizelas said. "I can tell, his problem is indeed strange, like a puppet." Luode said.

"This Heaven's Chosen monkey also doesn't know how long he can live; monkeys like him, I've seen one once on Flaming Mountain, should be his previous few lives! Such monkeys appear every few decades, then they search all over for the root instruments left behind after Sun Wukong's death."

They seem to have only one goal: to find what Sun Wukong left behind after his death, and nothing else.

"They don't care about anything else, and all monkeys don't speak; they are collectively called Heaven's Chosen, all coming from Flower Fruit Mountain." The horse-headed person said.

"Oh! This is a bit strange, Luode, you now control the laws of death, and I also control the laws of death."

"If we two act, we should be able to restore his soul." Aizelas said.

They each consumed a death-attributed divine fruit, now fully mastering death divine power, able to freely control life and death, repair a damaged soul, and then revive the other; for them, this is indeed not difficult.

"Huh! Monkey, I can help you revive Sun Wukong, but you stay quietly aside for now." Luode said.

Upon hearing that, the black-furred monkey directly shook his head, slung his staff over his shoulder, turned around and prepared to leave.

If you don't give the Heaven's Chosen any hints, just saying strange things, then the Heaven's Chosen will leave.

To revive Sun Wukong, only finding his six root instruments works; all other means are fake.

"This monkey, you're so impolite, stay!" Luode snorted, then condensed a golden big hand beside him and grabbed the monkey in his hand.

The Tathagata Buddha once grabbed Sun Wukong like that, so my doing the same should be fine—this time I'm grabbing his reincarnation.

Luode already figured out that this black-furred monkey is not an ordinary monkey, but a reincarnation of Sun Wukong; he can feel the broken soul inside him.

Seeing this, the black monkey instantly turned into a white mist trying to escape, but was caught again by Luode.

However, no matter how the black monkey struggled, it could not escape the huge hand that Luode had conjured.

"This sir is quite skilled, this move is really powerful!" the horse-headed person said.

"Luode! There seems to be a little tiger at the bottom of the well beside him." Aizelasi suddenly looked toward a spot beside the pavilion, where there was a dry well, and a tiger's roar came from the well's bottom.

"What sin! What sin! There's a man-eating mad tiger at the bottom of the well!" the horse-headed person said.

"Let's deal with this little monkey first!" Luode said, and together with Aizelasi they struck, directly using his death divine power on the little black monkey's forehead.

"His past-life soul is very strong, a god-level soul, and also very special, as if it were the original birth of heaven and earth." Aizelasi turned his head and said.

"Indeed it's powerful, but we can still resurrect him." Luode said.

Wanting to know the world's problem, wouldn't resurrecting the world's protagonist solve it? When I time-traveled, this game wasn't released yet, but I still had some guesses about roughly what happened.

Looking at the situation now, this little monkey should be searching for the relics left by Sun Wukong, then trying to resurrect the other party, which is to resurrect himself.

"Ahhh!" the black-furred monkey suddenly let out a miserable cry, his whole body began to tremble, and his eyes filled with bloodshot lines.

With the help of two strong death divine powers, his originally shattered soul inside him is being slowly repaired by a mysterious power.

Under the repair of the two death divine powers, Sun Wukong's soul was restored.

"I, the old monkey, am alive! Was it Yang Jian who did this? Who are you? Impossible, no, no! I, the old monkey, should have been completely dead."

"Even if a Sun Wukong appears, that would only be inheriting my things; I will not come back to life." The black-furred monkey suddenly covered his head, crouched on the ground, and said.

"Under normal circumstances, you indeed should not have come back to life, even being thoroughly dead, but I am a deity who controls death divine power. Your soul is a problem for others, but I can repair your shattered soul." Luode said.

From the monkey's words, it seems he knows he must die, and this matter is also related to Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

"This really is the Great Sage Sun Wukong resurrected, Great Sage Sun Wukong, do you still remember me? Do you still remember my king? My king is the Bull Demon King!" the horse-headed person said.

Well, well, these two indeed have great supernatural powers! The black-furred monkey said he would save and he did; I didn't expect this black-furred monkey to actually be the reincarnation of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

"You saved me, why did you save you? You, what kind of deities are you? Old Monkey, I've never seen you before." The black-furred monkey looked at Luode and Aizelasi and asked.

I don't know what kind of immortals these two experts are! I've never seen them before! Why would I help him? My body is extremely weak now! I don't even have my fiery eyes and golden pupils anymore; I can't see through what these two are like.

Moreover, inside his body, the original stone monkey's physique, and all his heavenly-penetrating cultivation, have completely disappeared.

However, now his true spirit has revived; as long as he retrieves his lost things, he can return to being the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

"Great Lord, you have already died; back then, back then my king, together with Erlang Shen Yang Jian, that Black Wind King, the Yellow Wind Sage, the Yellow Brow Old Buddha, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the Heavenly Court's Four Heavenly Kings, and many heavenly soldiers and generals, all besieged you to death; you have been dead for hundreds of years." the horse-headed person said.

"I, the old monkey, know I've been dead for hundreds of years; I'm just a little curious—how is Brother Niu doing now?" the black-furred monkey asked.

"Ah, don't hide it, Great Sage Lord, my king's days are not good, the things you left behind."

"My Little King wants it, but the Old King won't give it, so the Little King has imprisoned the Old King."

"I came out to seek reinforcements; luckily I found two experts willing to help me." the horse-headed person said.

"Why would Older Brother take my things? I didn't tell him that the things I turn into after death cannot be touched?"

"That old ox always picks wrong, never right—what bad luck!" the black-furred monkey said angrily. (End of chapter)
