Journey to the West: Starting from Changing Sun Wukong’s fate
Chapter 137 - 137 137 Nezha You're about to defeat me

137: Chapter 137 Nezha: You’re about to defeat me 137: Chapter 137 Nezha: You’re about to defeat me Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva had always been hindered by the affair of the Calamity of Measurement in the Journey to the West, and thus they had repeatedly suffered setbacks at the hands of Sun Wukong.

Now that the celestial Court was taking action against Sun Wukong, there might be a chance to witness a moment of his frustration and helplessness.

They would naturally not miss it.

At this moment on the island, Li Jing watched as Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva departed.

With the Boundary-Breaking Pearl in his hand, he felt confident he could certainly capture Sun Wukong.

“Where is Nezha?”

Li Jing called out loudly at this time.

“Your son is here!”

Although he did not like Li Jing, military orders were as heavy as mountains, and since Li Jing was the commander, he naturally could not disrespect him.

Nezha stepped forward, holding the Fire-tipped Spear and wearing the Heaven-Mixing Sash.

Li Jing directly tossed the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to Nezha and then spoke, “Now that the formation’s problem at Mount Huaguo has been resolved, I order you to go forth and subdue demons!”

“Your son obeys the command!”

Hearing Li Jing’s words, Nezha immediately accepted the order, and then with the Wind-Fire Wheels emerging beneath his feet, his figure moved and flew straight out of the minor dao, heading directly towards the sky above Mount Huaguo.

Looking down at Mount Huaguo below, he then shouted loudly, “Nezha is here – will that hairy monkey not come out quickly for a fight!”

The voice thundered like rumbling thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

As soon as Nezha spoke, the entire area outside Mount Huaguo began to tremble violently with continuous booming sounds.

Seeing no reaction from Mount Huaguo, Nezha did not hesitate any longer.

The Boundary-Breaking Pearl in Nezha’s hand burst forth with boundless light, soaring into the sky, incomparably dazzling.

Divine light flowed like water, as if mercury was spilling over the ground, and between the halo’s circulation, it seemed to contain some powerful force.

Under such divine light, the original massive formation surrounding Mount Huaguo started to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye in the glow.

It was like ice meeting flame.

One layer, two layers, three layers.

…

Seventy-nine layers!

It kept dissipating until it reached a total of eighty-one layers, finally revealing the full view of Mount Huaguo.

An entrance the size of a person appeared before their eyes.

Upon seeing this, all the orthodox deities of the celestial Court couldn’t help but inhale sharply and swallow their saliva forcefully.

Although they had suspected there must be more formations behind that one, they had not anticipated there would be so many in total.

Adding the previously breached grand formation, the defenses of Mount Huaguo were revealed to have as many as eighty-one layers.

They knew Sun Wukong was cautious but had not expected him to be this cautious.

It was fortunate that Wen Zhong had already left and did not insist on forcefully attacking with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Great Formation.

Otherwise, Wen Zhong might have been pissed to death.

So many formations – is this the work of a human?

Now, they were somewhat relieved that Wen Zhong had acted decisively and fled, otherwise, it would have been too demoralizing.

In the Gang Wind Layer, Taibai Jinxing looked down below, and he had not left yet.

He was just waiting to enjoy the spectacle.

However, upon seeing that there were only over eighty layers to the formation, he was somewhat surprised.

“These are quite a few less layers than I expected!”

Compared to the orthodox deities of the celestial Court, Taibai Jinxing, who was more familiar with Sun Wukong, was not surprised and even felt that there were too few formations.

He knew that when he was seeking Sun Wukong in the past, the formations there, and those of the Peach Garden, were countless; by comparison, the current formations seemed significantly fewer.

Back then, it was enough to make him doubt his life.

Moreover, he didn’t know if it was because he was used to being tricked by Sun Wukong, but now looking at the formations before him, he always felt there was something strange.

Not just Taibai Jinxing, Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva also couldn’t help frowning.

Clearly, things were going unexpectedly smooth.

Although as people who, like Taibai Jinxing, had been tricked by Sun Wukong and never communicated about it, the three of them felt the same way about Sun Wukong.

There definitely must be some trickery or oddities they didn’t know about.

They wondered what Sun Wukong was waiting for them with.

However, no matter what Taibai Jinxing, Sunlight Bodhisattva, and Moonlight Bodhisattva were thinking, Sun Wukong naturally didn’t know.

In any case, seeing the formation had been broken, he also couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Sun Wukong, who had been in his cave dwelling all this time, plucked a strand of monkey fur and blew on it, transforming it into a monkey less than five feet tall, clad in armor, with a face like Thunder Duke and a mouth like a monkey.

He looked up and his gaze turned towards the figure of the jade-faced young general standing in the sky above Mount Huaguo.

An unusual expression appeared on the face of Sun Wukong’s clone.

The name Nezha, even when he was in the celestial Court, he had already heard from the celestial Court Deities, and also from Marshal Tianpeng.

However, there had never been an opportunity to meet him.

What he hadn’t anticipated was that he would be in battle here this time.

Since Nezha descended to the lower realm, how then should he battle with Nezha and consequently lose the battle?

Sun Wukong stroked his chin, pondering.

Nezha was the Great God of the Three Altars of the Sea; during the Divine Enthronement, his human body had already attained the Dao, comparable to the beings like Wang Mo, Gao Youqian, and Yang Sen.

And these people, because their True Spirits entered the Investiture of the Gods, have had their Cultivation Level restricted by it for thousands of years, making any progress in Cultivation Level difficult.

It is already good enough that they can maintain the strength from the time of the Divine Enthronement, but Nezha had none of these restrictions, and his True Spirit never entered the Investiture of the Gods.

After thousands of years, it would be no surprise if he was even stronger than his father, Pagoda-Carrying celestial King Li.

Even if he hasn’t reached the Middle Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, he must be close.

“Oh right, he’s already a being of the Great Luo Golden Immortals!”

He realized that Nezha might already be a formidable existence as a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Did he even need to let him win?

It seemed that losing this competition would be effortless.

After all, for a Taiyi Golden Immortal to lose to a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn’t that be quite normal?

Instantly, Sun Wukong’s duplicate’s figure moved, rushing out of Mount Huaguo, heading straight for the figure standing in the Void, his feet on the Wind-Fire Wheels.

Outside of Mount Huaguo, Nezha looked down at the fully revealed Mount Huaguo beneath him, his Wind-Fire Wheels moved, and he too headed straight for Mount Huaguo.

At the same time, his powerful Divine Sense spread out at this moment, enveloping everything around him.

Having had the precedents set by the four like Gao Youqian, Yang Sen, Wang Mo, and Li Xingba, Nezha naturally wouldn’t just barge into Mount Huaguo and fall into the monkey’s trap without any preparation.

Now, his Divine Sense spread out, secretly examining everything on Mount Huaguo.

At the same time, he was also pondering deeply.

“Right now celestial King Li has sent me to capture Sun Wukong at Mount Huaguo, how can I lose this battle without Sun Wukong noticing?”

“Right, I must not let celestial King Li find out either!”

Nezha was scheming in his heart, willing to do anything that would annoy celestial King Li.

At this moment, he cautiously passed through the Formation and entered Mount Huaguo.

Outside of Mount Huaguo, celestial King Li watched as Nezha slowly entered Mount Huaguo, his Divine Sense scouting the surroundings, his gaze occasionally surveying the area.

celestial King Li couldn’t help but show a look of satisfaction.

“It seems my son is still very cautious; after all, the Four Great Marshals have vanished without a trace.

He wouldn’t hold back, as they are cut from the same cloth.”

Although his son had been disobedient for so many years, fortunately, the Exquisite Pagoda was there to restrain Nezha.

Later, when he practiced the Way of the Immortals, he achieved the Cultivation Level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, stepping beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements.

Otherwise, he didn’t know how he would have faced his son who had turned against him for thousands of years!

But now, his son was finally showing some signs of being serious, and celestial King Li felt that this time his son would not be contrary to him.

Deities like Luo Xuan from the celestial Court obviously didn’t know what celestial King Li was thinking.

But seeing Nezha being so cautious now and also having the Boundary-Breaking Pearl in hand, with the power of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl that disregards any Formation, it significantly weakened the strong Sun Wukong’s ace up his sleeve.

Not to mention letting Nezha, the Great Luo Golden Immortal, take action—even a Middle Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivator could give Sun Wukong a hard time.

While the Deities of the celestial Court were expecting Nezha to bring down Sun Wukong,

Nezha had already passed through the Formation, and somehow, he entered the interior of Mount Huaguo unnoticed.

Yet, what was strange was that he could not find any trace of Sun Wukong.

You must understand that he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and with his Divine Sense, he had enveloped the entire Mount Huaguo in an instant.

To find one person would be exceedingly simple.

However, it was as if Sun Wukong’s figure had vanished, or as if he wasn’t in Mount Huaguo at all, with no trace to be found.

More than that, it wasn’t just Sun Wukong’s traces that were absent; now, not a single monkey from Mount Huaguo could be found.

In fact, many Little Demon Kings from the Seventy-Two Caves appeared within Nezha’s range of Divine Sense.

While Nezha was searching for Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong was also looking for Nezha.

However, compared to Nezha, Sun Wukong had already set his sights on Nezha, having slipped away from his cave dwelling.

He lay in wait for Nezha to come searching.

After all, he was merely a Little Demon King with the Cultivation Level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Not only Sun Wukong, but the Demon Kings of the Seventy-Two Caves were also secretly watching Nezha.

Sun Wukong was expecting Nezha to approach; just let Nezha come closer, then rush out, strike hard once, and conveniently be captured.

As Sun Wukong thought this, Nezha was already nearing.

“Hey, who is this brat, eat Old Sun’s staff!”

In a corner of Mount Huaguo, a figure with a furry face and Thunder Duke’s likeness charged out, swinging his staff at Nezha.

Sun Wukong’s duplicate glared ferociously, revealing a ruthless appearance, his body emitting the terror of a Middle Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Unleashing his full power, he elevated his abilities to the extreme.

This would certainly stupefy his opponent.

However, upon seeing this, Nezha merely sneered, as if he had already anticipated such a strike.

His figure flashed, dodging Sun Wukong’s duplicate’s assault effortlessly.

His Fire-tipped Spear was held across the front as if to block,

and at the same moment, his Heaven-Mixing Sash shot out, directly wrapping itself towards Sun Wukong.
