Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 810 - 811: Tian Lin’s Plea (2nd Update!)

"Be my contracted spiritual beast?"

Sun Wukong was taken aback, "You want to follow me to the higher dimensional world?"

"Yes!"

Tian Lin nodded, "With my cultivation, going to a higher dimensional world on my own is impossible. Only by becoming the Great Saint’s contracted divine beast can I rely on the Great Saint to go there."

"You’re doing well in the Three Realms, why are you so eager to leave?"

Sun Wukong was quite puzzled. Tian Lin’s cultivation wasn’t low; he had already reached the Saint Realm of Slaying Three Corpses. As long as he cultivated diligently, he could break through in another thousand years or so and go to the higher dimensional world by himself.

Sun Wukong didn’t understand why he was willing to become his contracted divine beast. Didn’t he feel aggrieved?

"Some of my inherited memories have awakened. I originally came from the Yuan Realm, so my starting point is higher than that of the average Qilin clansmen."

Tian Lin explained, "So now I want to return to the Yuan Realm to figure out why I came to this Three Realms space from the Yuan Realm. I can’t wait any longer!"

"The Yuan Realm? That higher dimensional world?"

Sun Wukong touched his chin, "Well, I have to think about it..."

Each person can have only two lifebound magical treasures, and likewise at most two contracted spiritual beasts. Because of his external incarnation, Sun Wukong had twice the usual limit of lifebound magical treasures and contracted spiritual beasts, but he already had three contracted spiritual beasts. There was only one slot left. If he signed a contract with Tian Lin, he wouldn’t be able to find other contracted spiritual beasts in the future.

Even if Tian Lin would cancel the contract with Sun Wukong in the future, the slot would still be occupied. No matter how he calculated, Sun Wukong felt it was not worth it.

"Boss, don’t agree to him! Who is this guy, suddenly coming out wanting to be a contracted divine beast, without any sincerity!"

Dragon Cat gave Tian Lin a glare. Among the three contracted divine beasts, he was the boss. Thinking about how much they had suffered when they became Sun Wukong’s contracted divine beasts, now Tian Lin suddenly wanted to sign a contract. Even if Sun Wukong agreed, he wouldn’t!

Sun Wukong laughed, "Tian Lin, signing a contract is no small matter. Strictly speaking, we’re not familiar, and I have no obligation to help you! If you just want to borrow my hand to take you to the Yuan Realm, you’ll be disappointed!"

"Exactly, my boss isn’t that easy to take advantage of!"

Dragon Cat snorted, standing fiercely in front of Sun Wukong. Over this period, the three of them had gained many benefits from Sun Wukong and had all broken through to Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal, with cultivation strength surpassing Tian Lin. If he didn’t know his place, Dragon Cat wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson!

"Great Saint, I’m serious. Our Qilin Clan always honors our promises. If I become your contracted divine beast, you will be my master for life, and I will never betray you!"

In desperation, Tian Lin knelt on one knee and said, gritting his teeth.

"You’re serious?"

Sun Wukong’s brows furrowed slightly. Tian Lin seemed very anxious and sincere, not like he was pretending. If he was willing to be his contracted divine beast and stay by his side to help, giving him the last slot would be fine.

"Great Saint, I am willing to sign a master-servant contract!"

Tian Lin gritted his teeth.

A master-servant contract is different from a mutual contract, equivalent to putting his life directly in Sun Wukong’s hands. With just one thought, Sun Wukong could take Tian Lin’s life anytime!

"Master-servant contract?"

A gleam flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes as he laughed, "Alright, I agree!"

"Thank you, Great Saint!"

Tian Lin’s eyes lit up as he forced his essence blood from his brow, forming the master-servant contract runes that flew towards Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong did not directly absorb these runes but instead made some changes with a wave of his finger before collecting them.

"A mutual contract? Great Saint, this..."

Tian Lin looked in astonishment. Sun Wukong had actually turned the master-servant contract into a mutual contract!

"My contracted partners follow me willingly. We are friends, brothers, and sisters; there’s no distinction of status!"

Sun Wukong laughed, "I’ve seen your sincerity; from now on, call me ’Boss’ like Dragon Cat and the others."

"Yes, thank you, Boss!"

Moved, Tian Lin bowed to Sun Wukong once more, then also bowed to Dragon Cat, Dragon Scorpion, and Vermilion Bird.

"From now on, listen to the Boss well. As your elder brother, I’ll slowly teach you what to do and what not to do."

Dragon Cat smugly waved his hand, acting very ceremonious.

"Alas, it seems I can’t take any of my treasures!"

Among the others, The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord congratulated Sun Wukong a few times before sighing. The Leader of Tongtian and the Puti Patriarch didn’t have much. The Leader of Tongtian had only the Green Leaf Sword, with the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation refined into it as a lifebound divine weapon. The other treasures were given to his disciples. The Puti Patriarch had only the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, with no other valuable objects.

The situation was different for The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, who enjoyed artifact refining. He had crafted many magical treasures and weapons, but now he could only take the Tai Chi Diagram and the Diamond Bracelet, leaving behind numerous other treasures.

The problem was, who would they go to?

"Elder Lord, you don’t have many worthy disciples. If you leave these treasures to the wrong people, it will tarnish your reputation! How about this, give them to me, and I’ll place them in the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court’s vault. Those destined for them will find them, and the unworthy will not have a chance."

Sun Wukong’s eyes shifted as he smiled at The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

"You rascal, you’ve been eyeing my treasures all along, haven’t you?"

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord glared at Sun Wukong, but ultimately agreed, handing over a dozen treasures. Previously, the Ruyi Qiankun Bag was given away, so Sun Wukong plucked a hair to create a clone to take the treasures to the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court.

"Alright, everything that had to be left is left. Lou Hu, it’s time for us to open the dimensional portal. What should we do?"

With everything ready, Sun Wukong looked at Demon Ancestor Lou Hu.

"It’s simple! Enter this Zixiao Palace and infuse power into the formation Hong Jun left when he departed! The old guy wouldn’t fool himself; the destination is surely a safe place in the Yuan Realm!"

Demon Ancestor Lou Hu showed a sly smile, pointing at the nearby Zixiao Palace.
