Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System
Chapter 176 Release and Qi Zhi

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Release and Qi Zhi

What was once enveloped in the misty clouds of immortal fog in the Pan Peach Garden was now a scene of complete deathly stillness.

Above, Ao Lie transformed into a colossal golden dragon, spiraling upward, with the Sea Suppressing Pearl in his mouth, releasing vast powers of suppression to contain the divine radiance bursting from beneath the Pan Peach Garden, sparing the withered peach trees from total annihilation.

At that moment, the golden Seal of Flipping Heaven rushed through the air, seeking to immobilize the space above the Pan Peach Garden and restrict Sun Wukong, while simultaneously smashing toward Ao Lie.

"You old thing are ruthless enough!" Sun Wukong sneered coldly, "As if I’d let you succeed!"

Based on the forces of the Chan Teaching within the Heavenly Court, if Guang Chengzi truly killed Ao Lie, the blame for destroying the Pan Peach Garden could entirely be placed on Ao Lie.

And with his own strength in the previous two encounters with Guang Chengzi, he probably could only watch helplessly as the old thing smashed Ao Lie to death.

But this time...

With a flash of golden light, Sun Wukong was already above Ao Lie’s true golden dragon form.

He conjured the Creation Cauldron, suspending this supreme innate Spiritual Treasure above his head, spreading an aura of profound and obscure energy, its might clearly stronger than the previous two times!

Because the treasure’s master had become stronger!

In that instant, the Monkey King clad in golden armor radiated ferocity from his eyes, and his aura soared like flames, his arms emanating brilliant light as he swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

The Ruyi Divine Weapon, like a massive dragon, with Daluo Golden Immortal’s full mana and the nearing Quasi-Saint stage power of staff-fighting Laws, struck the Seal of Flipping Heaven with extreme ferocity.

Almost in an instant, the two treasures collided in the void above the Pan Peach Garden.

For a fleeting moment, there was silence between heaven and earth, followed only by a terrifying outbreak of noise, flashes of lightning, intense bright light, and interwoven chains of the Power of Laws, creating an apocalyptic scene that swept across the land.

Nonetheless, the Seal of Flipping Heaven ultimately held slightly greater power, breaking through the obstruction of the Ruyi Divine Weapon, and with a loud crash, it struck the Creation Cauldron.

This was the third collision between the two treasures, but this time, with a loud clang, the pitch-dark Creation Cauldron shook slightly, emitting an ear-splitting ring, then steadied itself firmly above Sun Wukong’s head.

And the Seal of Flipping Heaven had no more strength to boast of.

The brief clash in a moment’s time took Guang Chengzi, who was hiding in the dark, completely by surprise.

The demon monkey had grown stronger again?!

"Hiding your head but showing your tail, come out for old Sun!" Sun Wukong’s eyes shimmered with mystical light, making use of the Heavenly Eyes Divine Skills to see through barriers, and had already located where Guang Chengzi was hiding.

The Ruyi Divine Weapon immediately morphed into the Ruyi Divine Bow and Divine Arrows and shot out abruptly.

Whoosh!

An arrow tore through the air. This time it was a full-power strike, the arrow endowed with extremely concentrated strength, as if it could pierce through anything, fiercely shooting towards Guang Chengzi.

This Quasi-Saint of the Chan Teaching had no choice but to reveal himself and confront the attack with all his might.

Because he had already witnessed the power of Sun Wukong’s archery last time, and now with the demon monkey even stronger, Guang Chengzi felt the threat acutely!

With a thought, his supreme innate treasure, the Bagua Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, shone with beams of purple light, veiling the vast emptiness in all directions, attempting to block the incoming arrow.

Or rather, the subsequent rain of arrows!

The first Ruyi Divine Arrow forced Guang Chengzi to show himself.

The following barrage of arrows rained down like a deluge, as if a grand army had arrived.

Boom boom boom boom...

Countless Divine Arrows exploded, emitting resplendent light, divine radiance flooded like tides, the pressure overwhelming like the sea, stirring up endless ripples in the distant void, sweeping toward the entire Heaven.

Garbed in the Zishou Xianyi, Guang Chengzi, though unharmed, appeared even more disheveled than before, and his anger intensified.

This was happening in the Heavenly Court; such a commotion was likely witnessed by numerous immortals.

"Sun Wukong!" Guang Chengzi bellowed in rage, manifesting a chillingly bright Longsword in his hand, preparing to charge with his sword.

But Sun Wukong had already closed the distance.

"Old thing, take this hit from old Sun!"

The Ruyi Jingu Bang seemed poised to sweep away all in its path, yet it also appeared to be a myriad of heavy staff shadows, brutally crashing down towards Guang Chengzi.

"A mere Daluo Golden Immortal dares to engage me in close combat?" Guang Chengzi laughed in fury.

He knew Sun Wukong was ambitious, aiming to achieve enlightenment through the Laws, but as long as he had not attained Quasi-Saint status, there lay an insurmountable chasm between them and a Quasi-Saint!

Once one severed the Three Corpses, upon becoming a Quasi-Saint, one’s life force would leap to another realm, whether in body or Primordial Spirit, each achieving a form of sublimation.

Just now, that demon monkey had merely taken advantage of the superiority of his archery from a distance to harass him.

Now in close combat, he would surely let him experience the might of a Quasi-Saint.

Whizz!

The sword whistled softly, stirring the clouds around and gathering an awe-inspiring aura, unleashing a grand sword light in an instant.

Sword light and staff shadows intertwined in the Heavenly Court, generating a force even more terrifying like raging waves, sweeping boundlessly, astounding the immortals in Heaven.

"How is this possible?" Guang Chengzi couldn’t believe it, that was not just a casual strike, he had put his all into it, but Sun Wukong stood unshaken!

Previously, Sun Wukong dared not confront him head-on.

How much could he have improved in such a short time?

But Sun Wukong had no such thoughts to ponder. He felt a sense of release, forgetting all rules and limitations, his eyes ablaze with wildness, his heart displaying unrestrained defiance and brutality.

Without pausing for a moment, he swung the Ruyi Divine Weapon again, striking forcefully at his opponent.

Guang Chengzi had the intention to retreat; now was not the time to determine the superior. However, faced with the crazed killing moves, he couldn’t extricate himself and could only wage a fierce battle with Sun Wukong.

Thereafter, both wielded their treasured artifacts and displayed their Divine Skills, with Divine Weapons clashing and the Power of Laws colliding, various glows flickering.

In just a short moment, the two exchanged over a hundred moves.

At this time, figures successively arrived in this void.

The first to arrive was a dignified and luxurious middle-aged beautiful woman, the Queen Mother, accompanied by the Princess of Ten Thousand Saints.

The Queen Mother, with a frown on her forehead, gazed at the lifeless Peach Garden and, with a sweep of her sleeve, calmed the divine light that was gushing from the ground beneath the Peach Garden.

Ao Lie turned back into his human form and, not looking at the Princess of Ten Thousand Saints, bowed apologetically to the Queen Mother, "The guilty Ao Lie has failed to guard the Peach Garden, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother said, "We will discuss this when His Majesty arrives."

Ao Lie said no more and stood aside, waiting alongside the Queen Mother and the Princess of Ten Thousand Saints, all looking towards the distant battle.

It wasn’t long before strong figures from the Chan Teaching side like the Changsheng Great Emperor Southern Extremity Longevity Star, Ziwei Great Emperor Bo Yikao, Hook Chen Great Emperor Lei Zhenzi,

and from the Sect of Interception side like Doumu Yuanjun Jin Ling Holy Mother, Pu Hua Tianzun Wen Zhong, Fire Virtue Star Lord Luo Xuan, Water Virtue Star Lord Yu Yuan,

as well as the Jade Emperor who commands the three realms, with Taibai Jinxing, arrived above the Peach Garden.

All the strong figures and the immortals of Heaven were shocked as they watched the distant battle, including the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing who thought they knew Sun Wukong very well.

They found that this North Pole Great Sage Equalling Heaven was actually a match for the Chan Teaching Quasi-Saint Guang Chengzi!

Without three hundred rounds, it would be difficult to decide the victor.

Although Guang Chengzi’s strongest technique was the acquired treasure Seal of Flipping Heaven, he was, after all, a Quasi-Saint who had slain his good corpse; his body and Primordial Spirit had long surpassed that of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

But Sun Wukong’s Daluo Golden Immortal body and Primordial Spirit were not inferior to Guang Chengzi’s!

What was even more shocking was that the savage power of the rod technique and the Power of Laws obviously bore the force of a late-stage Quasi-Saint’s realm.

Many strong figures knew Sun Wukong was on the path of the Power of Laws and had also comprehended several Great Path Laws.

But from the time he ascended to Heaven, barely more than a hundred days had passed in Heaven, and just over a hundred years in the lower world.

This improvement was astoundingly fast, unimaginable!

While many powerful beings were startled by Sun Wukong’s strength, they were also shocked by the destruction of the Peach Garden.

Many immortals who needed to endure the three calamities and five tribulations looked uneasy, unable to hide their worry.

An immortal officer from the Chan Teaching stood up, with the Heavenly Noble Star Lord Ji Shuqian angrily saying, "Your Majesty, Ao Lie, as the manager of the Peach Garden, let such a disaster befall it, which is a great and evil crime; I beseech Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Ao Lie severely!"

"Your servant seconds this opinion!"

The immortal officers and divine generals of the Chan Teaching side were extremely angry, directing their fury at Ao Lie.

Ao Lie clenched his fists, understanding that the Chan Teaching side was trying to pin all the blame on him.

But at this moment, his master was entangled in battle with Guang Chengzi, leaving him with a feeling of isolation and helplessness.

Just then, the Water Virtue Star Lord Yu Yuan sneered, "The matter has yet to be thoroughly investigated, and you are in a hurry to judge guilt. Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

Pu Hua Tianzun Wen Zhong said in a heavy voice, "Something that can be clearly distinguished at a glance, yet you strive to blur the lines between right and wrong, what is your intention?"

Other immortals from the Sect of Interception also retorted against the immortal officers and divine generals of the Chan Teaching side.

It was clear to everyone that the destruction of the Peach Garden couldn’t possibly be Ao Lie’s own fault.

For they all saw Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, the Chan Teaching Golden Immortal, heavily injured and not yet having managed to flee.

There was also the White Cloud Child, tightly bound by the Binding Immortal Rope, lying in the desolate Peach Garden, barely clinging to life. He almost perished from the impact when the Peach Garden was ravaged.

But the Chan Teaching side didn’t care about these, starting an argument with the Sect of Interception’s immortals.

The Jade Emperor, with an expressionless face, watched for a while before commanding authoritatively, "Let’s ascertain the facts first before any dispute."

He then glanced at Taibai Jinxing.

The old star lord immediately understood and shouted toward the battling pair in the distance, "Great Saint Sun, Immortal Guang Chengzi, His Majesty commands that the two of you cease your Divine Skills!"

In the distant void.

Sun Wukong and Guang Chengzi, of course, noticed the arrival of strong figures from all sides. But one wanted to unleash himself in the fight, and the other wanted to leave but could not.

Thus, the battle intensified, with its fearsome might erupting continuously.

"Ferocious monkey!" Guang Chengzi huffed coldly.

After the Divine Enthronement, he had cut off his good corpse to become a Quasi-Saint. Since then, as a top existence in the three realms, he had roamed freely for a thousand years and never been in such an embarrassing situation.

When the voice of Taibai Jinxing came, this feeling of complete loss of face made Guang Chengzi even more furious.

Sun Wukong, however, chuckled coldly, seizing the opportunity, "Hehe, go down, old Sun says!"

Raising the Ruyi Jingu Bang, the Daluo mana and the Power of Laws of the rod technique fused and exploded, transforming into dragon-like shadows of the staff compressing the void, smashing Guang Chengzi downwards.

Within the vast void, only the Golden-Armored Great Sage Equalling Heaven stood proudly, with an unruly grandeur.

Seeing this scene, the immortals suddenly realized that the North Pole Great Sage had already become a pinnacle existence in the three realms.
