Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 829 - 830 Artifact Spirit Fusion (3rd update!)

"Awesome! Divine weapons of the same origin that can merge into one, just like twin rods! Big brother, your divine weapon is amazing!"

The artifact spirit Soul Chaser’s face showed extreme excitement. "I’ve decided, I want to become the artifact spirit of this Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod!"

"Hey, hey, wait a minute, what do you mean you’ve decided? Did my old Sun agree? Answer a question first: to what level can you upgrade my Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod?"

Sun Wukong interrupted Soul Chaser’s fantasy. This guy always jumped to conclusions. As the owner, he hadn’t even spoken yet. What was an artifact spirit making decisions for?

"Oh, oh, I got too excited and forgot, sorry, sorry."

Soul Chaser stuck out his tongue and put on a silly smile. He understood Sun Wukong’s temperament now, as long as you spoke nicely, everything was negotiable. But if you put on airs, Sun Wukong wouldn’t give you any face.

"About the level, big brother, your Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod is a superior Earthly Instrument, and it’s an upgradable spiritual treasure. If I become its artifact spirit, I can immediately upgrade it to a superior Heavenly Artifact!"

"Just a superior Heavenly Artifact?"

Sun Wukong’s eyes showed a touch of disappointment. "I thought you were amazing enough to directly upgrade the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod to an Immortal Artifact!"

"Big brother, the way you put it, isn’t that a bit too greedy? Your Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod has a Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod inside it. To upgrade, both have to be upgraded together. My ability to upgrade two same-origin divine weapons to superior Heavenly Artifacts is already quite impressive, you know?"

Soul Chaser was quite speechless. Upgrading from superior Earthly Instruments to superior Heavenly Artifacts for two items at once — he was the only one who could do that. Sun Wukong was still not satisfied!

"Really? Hmm, alright then!"

Sun Wukong blinked and accepted Soul Chaser’s explanation. "I can take you in, but let me make one thing clear: I don’t care how powerful and awesome you were before. If you become the artifact spirit of my Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, you have to listen to me. If you disobey again, I have my ways to deal with you!"

"Don’t worry, big brother, don’t worry at all! I may be an artifact spirit, but I have professional ethics. Once I follow you, I will definitely follow your lead, listen to everything you say! If you tell me to hit the cat, I won’t hit the dog. If you tell me to chase the pig, I won’t chase the chicken!"

What’s all this nonsense?

Sun Wukong was amused by Soul Chaser. This guy was a typical jokester!

"Alright, alright, stop the nonsense. How do you become the artifact spirit of the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod? Get on with it, I can’t stay here too long."

Previously, the Great Hall Master Mu Yin had said it was best not to enter the third level of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. But Sun Wukong had come up anyway and practically circled it. Aside from Soul Chaser, there was no impressively spiritual treasure. He’d better take it and leave to avoid giving others an excuse to criticize.

"This is too easy! Big brother, relax your control over the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, and let me merge with it. I’m ready, let’s start!"

Soul Chaser said, charging headfirst into the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, instantly merging into it. Immediately, the whole rod began to shake violently, emitting a dazzling golden light. At the same time, wisps of chaotic mist appeared, the silhouette of the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod emerging from within. The two rods floated side by side, flashing with light.

Soul Chaser’s form appeared after the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod, though only as a shadow, much larger than his original small form!

"In my name, divine weapon, become sentient!"

A clear shout echoed from Soul Chaser’s mouth. The light on the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod became even more dazzling, merging into one. The brilliant light made Sun Wukong close his eyes involuntarily.

Outside the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, a bright light suddenly burst through the third level, making the Great Hall Master Mu Yin at the entrance turn his head sharply, staring intently at the light with shock in his eyes.

"A sentient spiritual treasure acknowledging its master? Not just any sentient spiritual treasure! Who could it be? Could it be, that kid Wukong?"

Of the three who entered the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Sikong Yu had already chosen his Light-Dark Wings, Wu Yong was still stuck on the first level fighting for the Mysterious Ice Hammer, only Sun Wukong had entered the third level. Considering this, it must be him causing this disturbance!

"That kid, a true prodigy! He can make even those arrogant sentient treasures acknowledge a master!"

After a brief moment of shock, the Great Hall Master Mu Yin’s eyes showed a hint of pride. Sun Wukong was a talent he had discovered and brought into the Primordial Spirit Alliance. He could almost foresee Sun Wukong’s future domination of the Yuan Realm. At that time, as the one who discovered this talent, he would certainly share in the glory!

"Wukong, don’t let this old man down!"

On the first level of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Wu Yong had been struggling with the Protective Barrier of the Mysterious Ice Hammer for a long time. Relying on persistence and the support of spiritual medicine provided by the Wu Family, he finally managed to open a small gap in the barrier. Just as he was about to take the Mysterious Ice Hammer, a blinding light shot from the third level, covering the first and second levels as well.

It seemed the Mysterious Ice Hammer was stimulated by the light; it suddenly reacted violently, bursting with Mysterious Ice energy, instantly blasting Wu Yong away. His chest turned cold and felt a heavy pain, almost causing him to spit blood!

"Just a little more! Just a little more! Sun Wukong, I will never forgive you!"

Wu Yong almost fainted from his fury, yelling madly.

In the third level of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, Sun Wukong was watching as Soul Chaser merged into the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod and the Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod. Suddenly, it seemed he heard someone shouting his name. He listened carefully but heard nothing. He shrugged: "Didn’t expect someone in the Yuan Realm to miss me, how weird!"

The dazzling light began to gradually fade, revealing the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. The Ruyi Silver-Hooped Rod had already retracted into the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, which now had many more Dao Patterns on it and emitted a domineering aura.
