Heavenly Court, within the palace of the Empress.
With a bang, the expression of the Empress remained calm, but the exquisitely luxurious porcelain cup in her hand fell heavily onto the desk in front of her, causing so of the kneeling Heavenly Soldiers and Generals at the lower end to tremble, burying their heads even lower.
"What do you an? A demon creature dared to barge into the Heavenly Court and enter my Glycyrrhiza Garden? It has turned the garden into a ss, and you still haven't caught that demon creature?"
Although the voice of the Empress was calm, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals below felt as if they were freezing all over, their hearts filled with anxiety.
Without waiting for these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to answer, the Empress continued, "I am really curious and surprised—who exactly could it be, this Great Demon that dared to break into the Glycyrrhiza Garden and even escape through the South Heavenly Gate?"
"Reporting to the Empress, the one that escaped was a Yellow-Furred Rat Demon, skilled in using the Samadhi Wind. When it blows, the fierce wind sweeps up sand, making it difficult for us to keep our eyes open. Thus, in a mont of negligence, we let it escape to the Lower Realm!" After a mont of silence, a Heavenly General spoke up.
"A mont's negligence?" The Empress shook her head slightly then asked, "If it was just a mont's negligence, why did you return empty-handed? Could it be that once it passed the South Heavenly Gate, you could not continue the pursuit?"
"Reporting to the Empress, we did continue the chase, but on the way, we encountered the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong. Sohow, he had managed to escape from the Five Elents Mountain. He claid that the Yellow-Furred Rat Demon was under his protection. We, we are no match for that monkey, so..." The leading Heavenly General carefully looked at the Empress before responding.
"Sun Wukong!?"
Hearing this, the always calm Empress slightly furrowed her brow and straightened up a bit, asking, "Was there any loss in the Glycyrrhiza Garden?"
"There wasn't any particular loss. It seems that the Yellow-Furred Rat Demon entered the Glycyrrhiza Garden in search of so exotic herbs and left empty-handed. However, a Fairy who tended the flowers and plants in the garden was forcefully abducted by the rat demon!" Shaking his head, the Heavenly General reported.
Learning that her Glycyrrhiza Garden had not suffered any losses, the Empress's expression slightly cleared.
After pondering for a brief mont, she waved her hand and declared, "Since it was that mischievous monkey, and there were no substantial losses in the Glycyrrhiza Garden, let this matter pass. Inform the other fairies in the Glycyrrhiza Garden to properly repair the garden!"
Hearing the words of the Empress summarily dismissing the matter, these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were secretly shocked.
Although the interference of Sun Wukong ant that they couldn't really be blad, they hadn't expected the Empress to be so agreeable this ti.
It seed that even the Empress had to give so respect to the identity and abilities of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?
Though they were secretly surprised, these few Heavenly Soldiers and Generals kept their heads down, not daring to show their thoughts on their faces, and just heavily nodded, "Yes, Empress!"
...
Let's put aside the current situation in the Heavenly Court. In the Demon Realm, the battle between Sun Wukong and the Patriarch of the Fla Demon had reached an intense stage.
The Patriarch, a half-step away from the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, possessed imnse strength, but overall, he was still a bit inferior to Sun Wukong.
If Jiang Liu were here, he would see that the Patriarch's level was 80, and his experience points were nearly sufficient to break through to level 81. His character panel was also of the blue Elite Level.
However, despite being slightly stronger than Sun Wukong in terms of cultivation level, Sun Wukong's status as a Golden BOSS made his victory seem more and more certain.
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel fell like a raging storm, forcing the Patriarch of the Fla Demon to retreat step by step.
Yet, those Fla Demons had their attention on Zixia, which made Sun Wukong increasingly anxious.
Great waves of demonic flas pressed towards Zixia, a level of power that Zixia could not withstand as a Demon Immortal.
Under this overwhelming fla, Zixia's expression was terrified as she stepped back repeatedly.
"Hmph! Overwhelming with numbers, I, Old Sun, will oblige you!" Seeing the scene of Zixia retreating in horror, Sun Wukong coldly snorted, plucked a strand of fur from the back of his head, and blew on it.
In an instant, several dozen exteriorized bodies of Sun Wukong appeared, each wielding a golden cudgel and charging towards those Fla Demons while shouting loudly.

Simultaneously, he yelled, "You guys, absolutely shaless!"
"Even if you complint us, we aren't going to stop!" Hearing Sun Wukong's angry rebuke, these Fla Demons responded not with sha, but as if honored.
The iron rods swept across, shredding the towering flas directly. The dozen exteriorized bodies of Sun Wukong shielded Zixia by their side, helping her break out toward the periphery of the Fla Demon Domain.
At this mont, Sun Wukong also realized that if it were just him alone, there would be nothing to fear; however, with Zixia at his side, he had to be distracted to look after her, thus he could not focus entirely on the fight.
So, he had dispersed those clones to protect Zixia as they left, while Sun Wukong's original form stayed to continue the fierce battle.
Since leaving the Five Elents Mountain, this was the first ti Sun Wukong had encountered an opponent who could match him, which made Sun Wukong feel exhilarated.
Although dispersing so of his exteriorized bodies impacted his strength, the effect was small, and the ongoing battle remained fiercely contested between him and the Patriarch of the Fla Demon, nothing short of spectacular.
After all, when Mo Liqing successfully broke through to the realm of Taiyi True Immortal, his cultivation level was only about ten to twenty percent of Sun Wukong's, and in front of Sun Wukong, he had no power to resist.
Even among those of the sa level, the gap was so significant, let alone these demons from the Demon Immortal Realm.
"Monkey, you, you be careful!" At this critical mont, seeing that Sun Wukong could still spare so exteriorized embodints specifically to protect her, Zixia was both astonished and moved.
"Coming to the Demon Realm was my request for your help, naturally, your safety is my undeniable responsibility!" An exteriorized embodint nearby, after knocking a Fla Demon away with his rod, turned back and said.
After escorting Zixia away from the Fla Demon Domain, Sun Wukong then dismissed the divine skills of his exteriorized embodints, leaving only one embodint by Zixia's side.
With the dismissal of these exteriorized embodints' divine skills, Sun Wukong's cultivation level surged, instantly regaining the advantage that the Patriarch of Fla Demon had montarily pulled back.
With the Law of Heaven and Earth, the Vajra Indestructible Body, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in hand, Sun Wukong fought more and more bravely, his iron rod swinging, forcing the Patriarch of Fla Demon to continuously retreat.
Finally, after fighting for nearly half an hour, Sun Wukong's iron rod struck the Patriarch of Fla Demon, smashing his form deep into the ground.
Having fought for so long, Sun Wukong had thoroughly enjoyed himself, seeing that the Patriarch of Fla Demon no longer had much fighting power, Sun Wukong did not intend to completely annihilate him.
He withdrew his divine skills of Law of Heaven and Earth, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel reverted to the size of an embroidery needle and was tucked into his ear, and Sun Wukong leaped up, turning into a streak of escape light flying far away.
"Monkey, monkey, you, you are really a good person!"
Even though he had already defeated him, in this crucial mont, the monkey actually showed restraint?
This left the Patriarch of Fla Demon puzzled, he said aloud.
Sun Wukong paid no heed to the insults from the Patriarch of Fla Demon.
For him, having obtained the item resembling a chili and having fought a vigorous battle with a powerful mber of the demon clan, Sun Wukong was very satisfied and in a good mood, he did not take the insults to heart.
Naturally, with even the clan leader defeated by this monkey, the other Fla Demons had no intention of rushing forward to their demise, they could only watch as Sun Wukong's figure swiftly disappeared into the distance.
Soon after finding Zixia, Sun Wukong took her away from the Demon Realm, again utilizing the technique of Sorsault Cloud, turning into a stream of light, and rushed toward Jiang Liu.
On the Shanbu Continent, Jiang Liu sat cross-legged, rotating the Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound cultivation technique as he quietly cultivated, getting ever closer to level 34, naturally, his motivation for cultivation was full.
Beside him, Zhu Bajie and others were resting, of course, none of them were asleep, they were all waiting for Sun Wukong to bring back the chili they had heard about countless tis.
Zhu Bajie couldn't help but swallow his saliva, from the first day he t his master until now, it wasn't his first ti describing the deliciousness of chili, and now that he finally had the chance, there was no way Zhu Bajie could sleep.
After a session of practicing Heavenly Dragon Zen Sound, and after circulating his cultivation level through ninety-nine complete cycles, Jiang Liu ended his practice, silently invoking his character panel.
Imdiately, a semi-transparent character panel appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
ID: Jiang Liu.
Gender: Male.
Profession: Compassionate Bodhisattva.
Level: 33 (1140050/1150000).
Equipnt: Mixed Iron Rod (Epic Level): …
"Hmm, very good, just about 10,000 experience points left, and I can break through to level 34!" After checking the experience points on his character panel, Jiang Liu was very pleased and nodded.
The last 10,000 or so experience points – after resting a while longer and practicing for a few more hours, he believed it would suffice.
Whoosh!
Just then, a streak of escape light flashed across the sky, and imdiately, Sun Wukong returned with Zixia in tow.
"Master, I, Old Sun, am back!"
"Eldest brother is back!" As Sun Wukong spoke, nearby Zhu Bajie, White Dragon Horse, and even Sha Wujing all climbed up at once.
However, Jiang Liu looked at Sun Wukong, especially noting the hand held between Sun Wukong and Zixia, and showed a relieved smile on his face, nodding slightly: Child, you've finally grown up!
