Chapter 816: Chapter 835 Five-Colored Divine Stone

“Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will remember today’s kindness,” Ye Xuan said.

Although he did not learn the true identity of the Primordial Spirit, Ye Xuan did not feel disappointed. After all, the Primordial Spirit hid their identity so well that it would be strange if Master Xu Puti knew who they were.

Nonetheless, Ye Xuan did not find this trip in vain, as he had discovered the nature of the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, which would greatly benefit him in becoming a Saint in the future.

“I wonder where Brother Wukong is now?” Ye Xuan bowed respectfully to Master Xu Puti. Since he came to Fangcun Mountain, Sun Wukong was surely here as well. He could not leave without seeing him.

“Wukong, he… sigh!”

Master Xu Puti’s expression changed slightly, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he gave Ye Xuan a deep look as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t speak.

Seeing Master Xu Puti’s hesitant expression, Ye Xuan’s heart sank as he asked, “Did something happen to Brother Wukong?”

In truth, Ye Xuan had always been somewhat worried about Sun Wukong. During the great battle of the two Heavenly Courts years ago, Sun Wukong did not appear, which was unlike him. If Sun Wukong knew Ye Xuan was in trouble, he would rush to his side no matter the distance. Yet, Sun Wukong did not show up back then, and there had to be something more to it.

“Sigh!”

Master Puti stood up from his lotus seat, an aura of helplessness emanating from him as he sighed deeply, “Years ago, when you fought against the Ancient Demon Court, my disciple Wukong knew and was about to assist. I detained him at Fangcun Mountain as I did not want him to get involved in the turmoil between Heaven and Earth.”

Listening to Master Puti’s words, Ye Xuan frowned slightly. If it was just this, it was understandable, but Ye Xuan sensed that Master Puti’s sorrow was not merely due to this matter. Clearly, there was something else he did not know.

“Master, let’s be honest. What exactly happened to my brother Wukong?” Ye Xuan’s voice was deep, and he felt a great unease, a sense of foreboding.

“He is undergoing Transformation.”

Rumble!

Like thunder roaring in the Nine Heavens, like the turbulent Chaos Star Sea, Master Puti uttered these four words with weight, and Ye Xuan felt his mind reverberate, his whole body froze.

“Trans… Transformation?”

It took Ye Xuan several moments to regain his senses, and he muttered these words, his voice unintentionally trembling.

What is Transformation?

Simply put, Transformation is the vanishing of the soul, dispersing completely into Heaven and Earth, with no chance of reincarnation.

“How… how can it be? Why would he undergo Transformation? What happened to him?” Ye Xuan’s face turned red as he suddenly yelled towards Master Puti.

“It’s a long story. Come with me first,”

Master Puti flicked his sleeves, tearing open the void, and then stepped inside. Ye Xuan followed closely behind Master Puti.

…

The spring breeze was gentle, willows swayed, a vast mountain peak stretched out, lush greenery growing vigorously. A golden figure sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, a vast sea of clouds spread out before him, making the scene even more majestic and spectacular.

Buzz!

The void shifted, rippling gently, and Master Xu Puti and Ye Xuan appeared. Upon seeing the golden figure sitting atop the mountain, Ye Xuan’s eyes froze, his lips parted slightly, poised to call Sun Wukong’s name.

But before Ye Xuan could speak, Master Xu Puti gestured for silence, prompting Ye Xuan to forcibly calm himself.

“He is already in the midst of Transformation. If you disturb him now, it would ruin his efforts. Wait until he awakens to meet him,” Master Xu Puti said.

“How could this be? What on earth happened?”

Ye Xuan stared intently at Sun Wukong’s back, seeing Sun Wukong facing the sea of clouds, surrounded by dazzling golden light. However, his life force was gradually waning, and even his form seemed to become somewhat ethereal.

“Do you know what Wukong’s true form is?” Master Xu Puti asked solemnly.

Hearing Master Xu Puti’s words, Ye Xuan’s eyes froze and he slowly spoke, “My brother’s true form is the Intelligent Stone Monkey. Is there an issue with that?”

“The Intelligent Stone Monkey?” Master Xu Puti shook his head with a bitter smile, his eyes became exceptionally deep as he looked at Ye Xuan, leaving Ye Xuan bewildered and pondering the coldness in Master Xu Puti’s words.

“Sun Wukong’s true form?”

Ye Xuan whispered to himself. After a long while, he suddenly jolted, looking at Master Puti in shock, his face turning pale as if understanding something at that moment.

“The… Five-Colored Divine Stone?” Ye Xuan’s voice trembled as he spoke, and the exertion of uttering these simple four words seemed to drain him of all strength.

“That’s correct, it is the Five-Colored Divine Stone.”

Master Xu Puti nodded heavily. His eyes flickered as he gazed at Sun Wukong, and his voice was hoarse as he said, “The Five-Colored Divine Stone is a treasure of Heaven and Earth, possessing the power over creation, and it was my disciple Wukong who was formed from it. Long ago, when Nuwa refined the stone to mend the blue sky, one Five-Colored Divine Stone was left, and that became my disciple Wukong.”

As Master Xu Puti spoke, Ye Xuan’s fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, while his expression grew twisted and fierce.

“I suppose you’ve figured it out.”

Watching Ye Xuan’s terrifying expression, Master Xu Puti sighed deeply and continued, “Years ago, the two Heavenly Courts fought, tearing through Heaven’s Vault across billions of miles, casting endless calamity over the Three Realms. To mend the Heavenly Vault, only the Five-Colored Divine Stone can suffice.”

“But the Five-Colored Divine Stone is a unique object of Heaven and Earth, and there are only two in existence. One was used by Nuwa to mend the Heavens long ago, and the last one is your brother Wukong.” Master Xu Puti spoke bitterly.

“Why is this happening? Why is this happening?” Ye Xuan’s face turned crimson as he trembled, almost unable to believe the reality he was about to face.

“The great calamity of Heaven and Earth, the responsibility lies with the two Heavenly Courts, and particularly with Nuwa, who was the initiator. If not for Nuwa supporting the Ancient Demon Court, this calamity would not have occurred.

“Billions of living beings perished, their resentment and anger entwined around you and Donghuang Taiyi. Even if Nuwa is a Saint, she cannot escape this responsibility and must resolve the creatures’ rage; otherwise, it would severely harm her Saint Heart.”

“To atone for this heavenly calamity, the stones must be refined to mend the blue sky as before, alleviating the souls’ grievances, and thus gaining the Great Merit of Heavenly Mending.”

“My disciple Wukong is deeply connected with Nuwa, and he was able to take form because of her guidance. Now, Nuwa has conveyed the hope that my disciple would sacrifice himself for the beings of the Three Realms, and so…!”

Master Xu Puti’s recounting reached a halt, for he could say no more. Yet, Ye Xuan’s eyes had already turned red with rage, and his teeth ground loudly in his seething anger.
