Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 828 - 829: Ancient Divine Artifact, Artifact Spirit Soul Chaser (2nd Update!)

Sun Wukong originally made a joking remark, not expecting the little artifact spirit to seriously nod, "That’s right!"

"Huh?"

Sun Wukong was startled, "You really want to recognize me as your master? Why? This is our first meeting, right?"

Sun Wukong was very surprised. Wasn’t it said that sentient spiritual treasures are quite proud, and wouldn’t easily bow down? How come this little artifact spirit wants to recognize a master so easily?

"My name is Soul Chaser, the artifact spirit of an ancient divine artifact. I observe that you have outstanding potential and are qualified to be my host, so I revealed myself to meet you..."

The little artifact spirit coughed lightly, composed his face to a solemn and dignified expression, and started to speak, but was interrupted mid-sentence by Sun Wukong’s club, "Speak plainly!"

"Ahem, ahem! Why are you so rude?"

The artifact spirit Soul Chaser was hit to the floor once again by the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, his little face no longer showed any pretentious air, only a look of grievance.

"I said, speak plainly! Or else..."

Sun Wukong flashed a wicked grin, and shook the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand again. Soul Chaser froze for a moment, then quickly put on a flattering smile, "Brother, don’t be angry, please. I just want you to take me away from this wretched place."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, "Why did you choose me?"

"Because you have a chaos body! And you are very strong. Despite being only a marshal, you blocked my attack! Also, your battle armor and rod are both impressive. I’ve checked, they are upgradable spiritual treasures and have great potential for growth. If I become their artifact spirit..."

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Sun Wukong interrupted Soul Chaser, "You want to become the artifact spirit of my Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and Primordial Armor?"

"Yes, that’s what I said."

Soul Chaser nodded.

"If I remember correctly, you should be the spirit of this hammer, right? How do you plan to become the artifact spirit of my Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and Primordial Armor?"

Being an artifact spirit, it must be born from a sentient spiritual treasure and rely on its original body to exist. Sun Wukong thought Soul Chaser must be crazy; how could he speak such nonsense otherwise?

"Who said I’m the spirit of this lousy hammer?"

Soul Chaser snorted disdainfully, "I already told you, I’m the artifact spirit of the ancient divine artifact Soul Chaser Spear. If the spear wasn’t destroyed, I wouldn’t have had to attach to this broken hammer and be trapped in this miserable place!"

"The artifact spirit of the Soul Chaser Spear? The spear is destroyed?"

Sun Wukong’s eyes widened in surprise, "So your original spiritual treasure body is already destroyed?"

Artifact spirits always rely on their spiritual treasures to exist. Sun Wukong had never seen an artifact spirit that continued to survive after its body’s destruction, let alone transfer to another spiritual treasure. Was Soul Chaser really not just bragging?

"Why would I lie about such a shameful thing as my body being destroyed?"

Soul Chaser was rather displeased, "Okay, I’ve already told you the situation. Now you can allow me to recognize you as my master and enter your spiritual treasures, right?"

"When did I agree to let you recognize me as your master and enter my treasures?"

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow.

"You... do you know how many people beg me to recognize them as my master, and I ignore them all, and you dare to reject me?"

Soul Chaser hadn’t expected Sun Wukong to refuse. His face was full of disbelief and a faint trace of indignation.

"Refusal means refusal, what’s not to dare? If others beg you to recognize them, go find them, I’m not interested!"

With a cold snort, Sun Wukong stepped forward. He could not stand those who would wear "I’m awesome, I’m badass" on their faces every day. Even if Soul Chaser was as powerful as he claimed, Sun Wukong would not associate with such an arrogant character!

"You’ll regret this!"

Soul Chaser yelled furiously, but Sun Wukong acted like he didn’t hear.

An artifact spirit from an ancient divine artifact, so what?

Acting so high and mighty, as if letting you enter my treasures is some great honor. Who do you think you are!

Sun Wukong grumbled internally, and continued walking towards the depths of the third layer.

An hour later.

Bang!

Sun Wukong swung the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and knocked a spirit sword away.

The Great Hall Master Mu Yin wasn’t wrong. The sentient spiritual treasures in this third layer were all arrogant and highly aggressive. As soon as they encountered Sun Wukong, they attacked without saying a word, not just the ancient artifact spirit Soul Chaser.

"Damn you, how dare you fight back! I’ll tear you to pieces!"

The artifact spirit in the spirit sword screamed, and the spirit sword, knocked away, shone with a dazzling light, stabbing fiercely back towards Sun Wukong.

Bang!

Another thud, and the spirit sword was again smashed to the ground, but this time it wasn’t Sun Wukong who struck, but Soul Chaser, the artifact spirit of the ancient divine artifact.

"Get lost! Or I’ll shatter your sword body and obliterate you!"

Soul Chaser emerged from the small hammer, his gaze icy, staring coldly at the fallen spirit sword, and shouted.

The spirit sword, still flickering with a few arcs of lightning, dared not even emit a sound under Soul Chaser’s threat. It wobbled as it rose, then fled in disgrace.

"Impressive, right?"

With the spirit sword gone, the fierce look on Soul Chaser’s face vanished in an instant. He flew in front of Sun Wukong with a flattering and triumphant expression.

"Hmm, not bad."

Sun Wukong nodded, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn’t you say I would regret it? Why are you following me?"

"Huh? Did I say that? You must have misheard! Brother, see how powerful I am, just let me stay with you. I promise you won’t regret it! If I enter your spiritual treasures, their level would significantly rise, which would only benefit you!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Sun Wukong gestured at his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, "If you become the spirit of my rod, what level can it reach?"

"This rod... huh?"

Soul Chaser examined the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod carefully and suddenly looked surprised, "Wow, brother, there’s another same-source treasure inside this rod!"

"Same-source treasure? Yes, that’s the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, born from the same source as the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. What of it, is there a problem?"
