Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 823 - 824 Choosing Spiritual Treasure (3rd Update!)

In the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

On the first floor, there were columns half the height of a person, each with a light sphere floating above. Inside each light sphere was a spiritual treasure of varying grade and attribute.

Wu Yong was standing in front of a Heavenly Grade spiritual treasure, trying every possible way to subdue it.

This was a treasured hammer capable of summoning Ice Magic. When swung, it emitted a cold light and was a rare offensive spiritual treasure named the Mysterious Ice Hammer, a Heavenly Medium Grade treasure.

Although only a Heavenly Medium Grade treasure, its power was far stronger than ordinary Heavenly Superior Grade treasures!

From the first moment Wu Yong saw this Mysterious Ice Hammer, he was attracted to it. This spiritual treasure was a perfect match for him, highly compatible with their Sky-shaking Cliff’s Water God Ice Technique. If he could obtain it, his strength would surely increase dramatically, and his cultivation speed would also be greatly accelerated.

"You’re wasting your time!"

Sun Wukong merely glanced at Wu Yong indifferently, and in his heart, he was already certain that this guy could not subdue the Mysterious Ice Hammer!

Although Wu Yong had a water attribute physique, the Mysterious Ice Hammer was an advanced Ice System spiritual treasure of the Water System. Ordinary spells couldn’t even break the Ice System protective shield around the Mysterious Ice Hammer, let alone make the treasure recognize a new master.

Not just anyone could subdue a Heavenly Grade spiritual treasure!

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Wu Yong exploded in anger, glaring at him. "Sun Wukong, explain yourself. What makes you say I’m wasting my time?"

"Did I say anything about you? Overthink much!"

With a disdainful snort, Sun Wukong sneered, "Since you’re so eager to admit it, I’ll be blunt. This spiritual treasure is beyond your reach!"

"Bastard! You’re underestimating me too much!"

Wu Yong was furious.

"Oh? Then we shall see!"

Leaving behind those words, Sun Wukong walked straight toward the second floor. Hesitating for a long time in front of an Earth Grade spiritual treasure, Sikong Yu, upon seeing Sun Wukong’s retreating figure, had a flash of determination in his eyes, clenched his fists, and also headed to the second floor.

"You say I can’t obtain the Mysterious Ice Hammer? What good thing can you get?"

Wu Yong stared venomously at Sun Wukong’s back. Only when that figure completely disappeared at the stairway to the second floor did he gnash his teeth and mutter, continuing to mobilize his Primordial Force to deal with the protective shield.

He refused to believe it, convinced he could break that protective shield and obtain the Mysterious Ice Hammer!

’No wonder Brother Mu said that what kind of spiritual treasures one could get on the second floor all depended on fate. So this is the reason!’

On the second floor of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Sun Wukong looked at the light spheres flying back and forth between the beams overhead. This epiphany hit him.

All the spiritual treasures on the second floor were shrouded in light orbs, continuously flying beneath the ceiling beams three zhang from the ground. There was no information displayed, and it was impossible to tell what kind of spiritual treasure was inside each light orb.

Just as the Great Hall Master Mu Yin said, what kind of spiritual treasure one could get entirely depended on fate.

"Is this like a lottery draw, relying on luck?"

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows. He disliked this kind of luck-based situation; too much uncertainty!

"Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!"

With a flash of golden light in his eyes, he pushed the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes to their limit. Recently Sun Wukong had a vague feeling that his Void-Breaking Divine Eye was about to reach the peak of the Third Phase and didn’t know what the Fourth Phase would be.

He was truly looking forward to it!

Under the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, Sun Wukong could see the shape and glowing property of the treasures inside the orbs, but unlike before, he couldn’t gather any other information.

It seemed the limits of the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes had been reached. To see more clearly, he would have to wait until the Void-Breaking Divine Eye advanced to the Fourth Phase.

He didn’t know how long it would take to reach that stage; he could only depend on the current situation and gamble on his luck.

There were quite a few spiritual treasures flying swiftly in the air, emitting various lights. Sun Wukong first ruled out all the multicolored treasures. He had a Chaos Battle Body, so spiritual treasures with a Chaos Attribute were most suitable for him. Other treasures, no matter how good, wouldn’t be 100% compatible and involved the problem of attribute conversion.

The Chaos Battle Body could indeed simulate various attribute energies, but it took time. Normally, this time might not be noticeable, but it made a difference at critical moments.

Among Sun Wukong’s current magical treasures, apart from the initial Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, the Chaos Pearl, Ruyi Divine Armor, and Chaos Clock were all Chaos attributes. Hence, when he was in danger, the Ruyi Divine Armor could spontaneously appear and protect him.

Even the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, which initially had a metal attribute, gradually acquired more Chaos attributes under Sun Wukong’s continuous nurturing. Now it possesses more Chaos attributes; the metal attribute is diminishing, while the Chaos attribute is increasing.

Sun Wukong knew very well that when the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod fully evolves into a Chaos attribute divine weapon, it will be time for it to upgrade into a Heavenly Artifact.

The Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod was the divine weapon Sun Wukong was most comfortable with in both his past and present lives. He was willing to spend time nurturing it and helping it upgrade, but only the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod; he didn’t have the time to nurture other spiritual treasures.

Therefore, if he had to choose, it had to be the most suitable one for him. It must be a Chaos attribute spiritual treasure; otherwise, no matter how good it was, it wouldn’t be suitable!

With the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes fully activated, Sun Wukong picked out all the Chaos attribute spiritual treasures from those in the air, a total of more than twenty. His Divine Sense split in two and wrapped around these Chaos treasures to sense them one by one, trying to select the one that resonated with him the most.

Buzz~!

Suddenly, one of the spiritual treasures resonated strongly with Sun Wukong. His eyes lit up; this was a good treasure!

However, he hesitated. This was only the sixth spiritual treasure he had examined; there were still more than ten he hadn’t checked. What if there was a better one?

Great Hall Master Mu Yin previously told him that when selecting spiritual treasures on the second floor, each treasure could only be touched once, whether physically or with Divine Sense. If given up, there would be no second chance to select it.

In other words, if Sun Wukong gave up this spiritual treasure and later found that none of the remaining treasures was more suitable, he could not go back to obtain this treasure.

"What am I hesitating for? Suitable treasures are rare encounters. Since I’ve found one, why still be greedy?"
