Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Leng Xuan’s Abnormality (4th Update!)
“Zi Lan… Zi Lan!”
Deep within the Water Curtain Cave Heaven of Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong suddenly sat up from the ditation chamber on the ninth layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, his forehead covered in cold sweat—he had had a nightmare!
“Wukong, you’re awake? Are you alright?”
Zi Lan Fairy’s voice sounded from the side, and as Sun Wukong turned his head, he saw her concerned look, standing right beside the stone platform.
“Zi Lan, you’re okay? That’s great, that’s great!”
Sun Wukong embraced Zi Lan Fairy tightly; he had just dreamt that Zi Lan Fairy had been utterly destroyed trying to save him, which scared him to the core. Thankfully, it had only been a dream!
...
“I’m fine, I’m really fine, Wukong!”
Zi Lan Fairy patted his back to comfort him and then exclaid with relief, “Thank heavens, Wukong, you’ve finally awakened. You had so worried!”
“Have I slept for a long ti?”
Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow; he rembered falling into a coma because of the backlash from the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, and at that ti, Zi Lan Fairy had also been seriously injured. But now, she seed completely unhard. Could it be that he had really been in a coma for a long ti?
“Wukong, you’ve been in a coma for five whole years!”
“Five years? That long?”
Sun Wukong was stunned; the last ti he had been severely injured and fell into a coma for three years was after his battle with the Golden Giant Palm of Tathagata Buddha. He thought that had been a long ti, but he had never expected to be unconscious for a full five years!

No wonder, no wonder Zi Lan Fairy looked like nothing was wrong. In the span of five years, even the most severe injuries would have healed, especially since Flower-Fruit Mountain had many spirit pills and miraculous dicines, not to ntion the Fighting Victory Wine, which even the Heavenly Dao Saint would covet. As long as one’s Dao Foundation wasn’t broken and the source wasn’t destroyed, even those on the brink of death could be saved!
“How’s Flower-Fruit Mountain now?”
Sun Wukong looked at Zi Lan Fairy and asked, “The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect haven’t co to cause trouble again, have they?”
“No!”
Zi Lan Fairy shook her head, “The last big battle severely weakened the Heavenly Court. I heard that His Majesty the Jade Emperor was furious, ordering a strict investigation for traitors within the Heavenly Army, but after a lot of searching, they found nothing significant, and it all just fizzled out. As for the Buddhist Sect, it’s been eerily quiet, as if nothing had ever happened!”
“No noise at all? That’s indeed very strange!”
Sun Wukong, deep in thought, stroked his chin; there was sothing suspicious about an uncommon situation! After suffering such a defeat at his hands, given the characters of the Jade Emperor and Tathagata Buddha, how could they just let it go? They would surely find all sorts of ways to intensify their efforts against him and Flower-Fruit Mountain!
If they hadn’t made a move now, perhaps they were brewing so major conspiracy; he had to be on guard!
“Wukong, Brother Leng and the others have been really worried about you these past years, coming to see you from ti to ti. You’re finally awake now, so go out quickly and et everyone to put their minds at ease!”
Zi Lan Fairy’s words made Sun Wukong nod his head, temporarily casting aside the suspicions in his heart. Regardless of how the Jade Emperor and Tathagata Buddha planned to act, he would deal with them when they ca. Zi Lan Fairy was right, it was ti to et and chat with everyone properly!
“The Great Saint has awakened?”
“The Great Saint really woke up? That’s fantastic!”
“Let’s go, let’s hurry to the Water Curtain Cave Heaven, Steward Leng said we’re going to celebrate big ti!”
The news of Sun Wukong’s awakening quickly spread throughout Flower-Fruit Mountain, and the mbers of the demon cult at Flower-Fruit Mountain were all overjoyed. Five years! Sun Wukong had been in a coma for a full five years! And he had finally awoken!
Leng Xuan and the others were also extrely delighted. In the grand hall of the Water Curtain Cave Heaven, they had prepared a splendid feast to celebrate Sun Wukong’s safe awakening.
“Boss, Six-Eared and Brother Bull have already told us about your experiences in the Demonic Realm. It was truly thrilling!”
“Exactly, Monkey Bro, fighting the Heavenly Demon Dragon and exchanging pointers with Demon Ancestor Luo Hu, just hearing about it gets the blood pumping. I’m sowhat regretting not having gone to the Demonic Realm with Brother Bull and the others.”
At the feast, people clinked their cups and laughed while talking animatedly about Sun Wukong’s adventures in the Demonic Realm. Luo Bai, in particular, showed a look filled with longing and regret.
“If you had gone with us, you would have been trapped in the Myriad Beast Mountains just the sa. The Nine Nether Demon Fire isn’t suitable for sword cultivators to absorb!”
Bull Demon King spoke with his deep and resonant voice, prompting everyone to burst out laughing.
“I, for one, would really like to see just how formidable this Demon Saint level Demonic Beast, the Heavenly Demon Dragon, is!”
Ying Long Ying Tian snorted coldly. Being one of the three great Divine Dragons from the Ancient Prival era, he considered himself, along with his elder brother Candle Dragon Ao Tian, to be the strongest among the Dragon Race in the Three Realms today. It annoyed him that there existed a Heavenly Demon Dragon in the Demonic Realm whose physical body had reached the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint. Deep down, he was not willing to accept this and yearned for an opportunity to challenge the Heavenly Demon Dragon, to see who would be more powerful – him, Ying Long Ying Tian or that demonic beast, the Heavenly Demon Dragon!
As everyone discussed fervently, Sun Wukong noticed that Leng Xuan didn’t seem to be in high spirits. It was as though he had sothing on his mind. Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows and asked, “Leng Xuan, is sothing the matter?”
“No, nothing’s wrong.”
Leng Xuan shook his head, his eyes flickering, clearly concealing so displeasure. He forced a smile and began conversing with others. Everyone didn’t pay much attention to it, but Sun Wukong’s eyes flashed with sharpness, he glanced at Leng Xuan pensively and didn’t ask any further.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed. So rested, others cultivated. After asking Zi Lan Fairy to go ahead without him, Sun Wukong headed alone to Leng Xuan’s residence.
Leng Xuan’s residence was also deep within the Water Curtain Cave Heaven, not far from Sun Wukong’s own courtyard. It was very serene, but as Sun Wukong entered, he activated his Void-Breaking Divine Eye to its Fourth Phase, the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes state. It was well known among the mbers of Flower-Fruit Mountain’s demon cult that Leng Xuan’s residence was filled with array barriers; it was better not to intrude casually, for if one triggered the array’s prohibitions and restraints, they only had themselves to bla, with nowhere to seek justice!
“Who’s there?”
Inside the residence, Leng Xuan was alone; Sun Xiaoqing, the little fox demon, was nowhere to be seen. Ultimately, between Leng Xuan and Luo Bai, the little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing had chosen Leng Xuan as her Taoist companion and husband, which greatly irked Luo Bai. However, he understood that matters of the heart required mutual affection and forcibly pursuing it was useless, so he could only offer his blessings.
Yet today was sowhat strange. Usually, the clingy little fox demon Sun Xiaoqing was inseparable from Leng Xuan, but now she was surprisingly absent from the room. Leng Xuan sat alone in front of a jade screen, lost in thought with a complex expression that included reminiscence, resentnt, unwillingness, and pain.
With Leng Xuan’s vigilance, he should have detected Sun Wukong’s entry much earlier, but it wasn’t until Sun Wukong was almost behind him that he seed to finally snap out of his daze and turned around abruptly to ask sharply.
