Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Who Dares to Truly Challenge Sun Wukong

Silver Boy frowned and said, Golden Boy, upon hearing this, also knew there was no other choice and nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the two made hand seals and infused their magical laws into the Bagua Cauldron.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Pill Furnace trembled, and the lid of the Bagua Cauldron vibrated as if about to fly off.

At the same time, Sun Wukong, who was inside the Bagua Cauldron, had an incredibly strong aura around him, which had risen to a most terrifying degree.

The elixir within him, the Flat Peaches, and the spiritual energy of various other spiritual objects had all been refined and fused into his body at this moment.

His cultivation level had climbed to the late stages of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he was not far from the peak.

Feeling the tremors of the Pill Furnace, Sun Wukong opened his eyes, and two beams of dazzling golden light shone forth.

Whoosh!

Immortal Qi flowed around the outside of the Pill Furnace, but Sun Wukong did not leave immediately.

Instead, he continued his cultivation.

As the potent spiritual energy was continuously refined, his cultivation level kept soaring.

In an instant, he reached the peak of late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, just a step away from Quasi-Saint.

Gradually, above Sun Wukong’s head, three flowers appeared.

With the Five Qi within his chest, he was shaping the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

As a Quasi-Saint, he was slaying the Three Corpses.

An image that bore no difference from Sun Wukong himself emerged from the three flowers above his head.

Compared to Sun Wukong’s impulsive and volatile nature, although much had changed due to Wang Yang, it couldn’t be denied that this was his character.

But this apparition seemed much more composed.

Naturally, this figure was Sun Wukong’s Good Corpse.

After bowing to Sun Wukong, it walked directly into his body.

Suddenly, a terrifyingly powerful aura burst forth from within Sun Wukong’s body.

Breaking through Great Luo to become a Quasi-Saint.

This aura was incredibly powerful, impossible to block, especially since Sun Wukong had broken through accidentally, without the slightest resistance.

In an instant, above the Helmet Armor Palace in the void, formless clouds of tribulation gathered.

At this moment, an ancient figure appeared and smiled upon witnessing this scene.

With a wave of his hand, the powerful aura dissipated into nothingness.

Clearly, it had been suppressed by the ancient figure.

After doing all this, the ancient figure turned and vanished from the spot.

Even the Ruler of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor, with his cultivation, failed to notice the presence of this ancient figure here.

Nor did he detect the change in Sun Wukong’s breakthrough aura.

He only felt for a moment that someone in the Celestial Court had broken through. As for the details, even though he searched carefully, he found nothing.

After his breakthrough, Sun Wukong did not stop immediately but continued to stabilize his realm, which is critically important for cultivators.

Otherwise, there was a real possibility of regression.

As this aura was intentionally blocked by someone, even the two boys guarding the Bagua Cauldron failed to notice anything.

However, they did realize that after slightly opening the mouth of the Pill Furnace, no matter what they did, it seemed they could no longer cause any changes to the Bagua Cauldron.

"This isn’t good, could it be that the Bagua Cauldron has experienced some changes?"

Silver Boy said with a frown, looking at the changes in the Bagua Cauldron.

"It looks like we need to inform the master right away!"

Golden Boy said with a frown as he observed the current state of the Bagua Cauldron.

After all, considering that the Bagua Cauldron exhibited no reactions at such a critical time, both of them were naturally in quite a hurry.

Moreover, they did not know the status of the Nine-turn Golden Pill that Sun Wukong was concocting.

If the concoction continued under these circumstances, the pill would most likely be utterly ruined, a sin that they could not afford to bear.

Without any hesitation, the two immediately flew out of the Helmet Armor Palace and chose to venture beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Since they couldn’t find the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, they could only search for Daoist Ancestor Taiqing in the Chaotic Starry Sky.

However, just as they were about to leave the Helmet Armor Palace.

They heard a clang from behind.

The lid of the Pill Furnace was flipped and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Sun Wukong, who had just stabilized his realm, could not help but burst forth.

After being roasted for forty-nine days and nights, his armor had long been refined, his whole body scorched black.

A golden light shot up into the sky.

"Is the Nine-turn Golden Pill ready?"

Even the Gold and Silver Boys were somewhat unable to see clearly at this moment, somewhat shocked and awe-struck.

After all, such a change had never occurred before.

Just then, a figure shot up into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that sped out of the Helmet Armor Palace.

As for the Pill Furnace, it had not even flipped over.

Yet, this turn of events was observed by Daoist Ancestor Taiqing, who had been paying close attention.

"Quite interesting, but you, Macaque, seem to have left a bit of face. It’s a pity that the Bagua Cauldron is also a part of the Calamity of Measurement, alas!"

Daoist Ancestor Taiqing watched Sun Wukong’s departing figure and then waved his hand.

The Bagua Cauldron, which even Sun Wukong found difficult to lift, was flipped over in a moment, the flames within spilling out.

The flames that were about to burn down the entire Helmet Armor Palace vanished in an instant with the arrival of an invisible divine skill, and the Bagua Cauldron that had been pouring down disappeared at that moment.

Neither Sun Wukong nor the Golden and Silver Boys noticed.

"This is terrible, terrible! The demon monkey has come out!"

Only after witnessing this scene did the Golden and Silver Boys come to their senses, and they began to cry out and run towards the outside.

Hoping to summon the celestial Court Star Lords.

As soon as Sun Wukong stepped out of the Helmet Armor Palace, he heard the noise behind him and frowned.

"What are you yelling about? It’s so noisy!"

Sun Wukong was already furious, and upon hearing the cries of the Golden and Silver Boys, he became even more enraged. With a flick of his hand, a puff of powder flew out—none other than the Other Shore Flower powder he had refined.

Since the two boys were already not far from Sun Wukong, the Other Shore Flower powder flew straight at them. Even if the Golden and Silver Boys had wanted to do anything, it was already too late—they were immediately dusted in the face with the powder.

After all, their cultivation levels were not high to begin with, and with Sun Wukong’s power now reaching the initial stage of Quasi-Saint, they stood no chance against him.

The two boys’ legs went limp, and they fell directly to the ground.

Considering that these boys were the servants of the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, Sun Wukong naturally did not dare to truly harm them.

After seeing the two boys faint, Sun Wukong looked around to ascertain his direction and, without any hesitation, shot off into the distance.

"Demon monkey, how dare you!"

Many Divine Generals couldn’t help but surround him. This place was, after all, the dojo of the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way, naturally guarded by celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Seeing the dark monkey emerge, the surrounding Divine Generals immediately encircled him.

At this moment, they had yet to recognize who this monkey was.

"Could this be that demon monkey?"

"Impossible, hasn’t that monkey already been refined by the Ancestral Master of the Supreme Way?"

The Divine Generals all began to discuss among themselves.

Their voices, far from quiet, entered Sun Wukong’s ears. By now, Sun Wukong had broken through to the initial stage of Quasi-Saint, and his strength had surged.

Hearing their discussions, he did not get angry. Instead, he wished to leave as quickly as possible.

His figure flickered, and two identical clones appeared. Then, they all darted towards the outside of the Helmet Armor Palace.

Just as Sun Wukong was rushing out of the Helmet Armor Palace,

In the nearby ox pen of the Helmet Armor Palace, a Green Ox that had been eating grass saw more and more monkeys appearing, flying towards the outside.

The grass in its mouth almost fell out.

It glanced at its own tether, its eyes slightly twitching, and then leisurely stood up.

"The master said, when Sun Wukong appears, it’s time for me to descend to the lower realm!"

The Green Ox spoke human language, slowly opening its mouth.

Then it transformed into a streak of light, darting straight for the lower realm.

Meanwhile, as Sun Wukong and his clones were making their escape, he saw that no celestial Soldiers or Generals seemed to be pursuing them.

One of the shadows had a flash in its eyes and then directly headed for a palace below.

The palaces with their glazed tiles were splendid and magnificent.

And then the shadow darted into one of the tiles and vanished from sight.

"Truly crafty!"

At that moment, in the sky above the Helmet Armor Palace, the figure of the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way emerged, and seeing the monkeys in the glazed tiles, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

But he didn’t interfere further.

Everything had already been arranged. Now, let the Western Direction deal with the headache.

It was no longer his concern.

...

At the moment, inside the Ninth celestial Palace,

It was time for the court meeting, and many ministers were in deliberation.

A figure hurriedly broke in.

"Your Majesty, there’s trouble! Your Majesty, trouble has arisen!"

Hearing this figure, the gathering of immortal clans was interrupted.

The Jade Emperor, sitting atop the Golden Palace, also couldn’t help but frown.

"What a fuss over nothing—what’s happened that is so urgent? Have some dignity!"

Li Jing frowned and grumbled coldly.

Hearing this, the Immortal Official shuddered all over and hurriedly said, "To report to Your Majesty, that demon monkey has escaped from the Helmet Armor Palace!"

The Immortal Official hastily replied.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor was startled at first but then showed a hint of a smile.

Having seen the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way take Sun Wukong away, he was aware that the Ancestral Master was also involved because of the Calamity of Measurement. Now that such a change had occurred, it was not surprising to him.

Moreover, since the Grand Elder of the Supreme Way had already propelled the Calamity of Measurement forward, the Jade Emperor had no reservations.

However, despite understanding the situation, the Jade Emperor did not immediately say anything.

He appeared contemplative as he looked down at the multitude of Orthodox Deities below him.

Zhang Daoling then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the celestial Court has been established for so many years, and never has there been such audacity. Now, to think someone has even escaped from the Helmet Armor Palace, I implore Your Majesty to dispatch troops immediately to apprehend the culprit and uphold the dignity of the celestial Court!"

Of course, these were just formalities. Those who were central to the power of the celestial Court knew that Sun Wukong was designated by the two Saints of the Western Direction to initiate the Journey to the West and the Calamity of Measurement and was integral to the prosperity of the Western Direction.

Furthermore, it was evident that even the Jade Emperor was involved, and it seemed that the Daoist Sect too had a hand in this matter.

Thus, with all four Saints having intervened,

None of them dared to truly lay a fatal hand on Sun Wukong.

If anything were to happen to Sun Wukong, they would have to face the wrath of the Saints.
