Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong
Chapter 839 - 840 Those Who Do Not Want to Wait, Just Leave First (First Update!)

When Blue Spirit exploded in anger, everyone flinched and bowed their heads, retreating to the side.

"Wukong, take this Primordial Crystal Core."

Blue Spirit looked at Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong shook his head and tossed the Primordial Crystal Core back to Blue Spirit. The crowd watched in shock as the core landed in Blue Spirit’s hand, feeling as if they had lost their parents.

That was a Primordial Crystal Core, and Sun Wukong just casually tossed it!

"Wukong. What are you…"

Blue Spirit looked at the Primordial Crystal Core in his hand, not understanding Sun Wukong’s intention.

"You all helped in dealing with this serpent beast. It belongs to the whole mercenary group. How it’s distributed is up to you, captain."

"But you risked your life to retrieve it from inside the serpent beast!"

"No problem! It’s nothing to your old Sun."

Sun Wukong waved casually with an indifferent look. Crawling into others’ stomachs might seem extremely dangerous to others, but it was routine for him. He had long gotten used to it!

Entering others’ stomachs and causing havoc was Sun Wukong’s specialty. Once he got inside, the enemy essentially lost any ability to resist.

But there was no need for Sun Wukong to explain this to Blue Spirit. The Primordial Crystal Core of the serpent beast was indeed precious, but it wasn’t enough for Sun Wukong to act like a protective hen. If it weren’t for the help of Zhao Jun and the others, he wouldn’t have easily entered the serpent beast’s body and destroyed its meridians.

There were still many treasures in the Ancient God Ruins. Sun Wukong didn’t want Blue Spirit and the others, especially Zhao Jun, to look down on him for a single Primordial Crystal Core.

"As for this serpent, I don’t know what to do with it. I leave it to you, captain."

Sun Wukong said, sitting cross-legged off to the side to begin his meditation. Earlier, while inside the serpent beast, he not only grabbed the Primordial Crystal Core but also absorbed a lot of its vital energy. Right now, these energies were rampaging inside his body. If he didn’t quickly refine and absorb them, even his Chaos Battle Body might explode.

"Good lad! Quite a character!"

Zhao Jun’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Sun Wukong. Being able to keep his cool and not be greedy or arrogant in the face of a Domain Marshal-level beast’s Primordial Crystal Core showed excellent character, much stronger than most people!

With such character, exceptional talent, and courage, his future accomplishments were bound to be limitless!

Silently, Zhao Jun stood beside Sun Wukong, watching over him as a protector. Seeing Zhao Jun’s open gesture of support, those who had thoughts about Sun Wukong sighed internally and abandoned their ideas.

"You can split the rest among yourselves."

After taking the most valuable items from the serpent beast, Blue Spirit glanced at the surrounding crowd’s eager expressions with a cold smile, then turned towards Sun Wukong and Zhao Jun. The others could no longer hold back, and they immediately swarmed to the serpent beast’s body to divide the spoils.

Sun Wukong’s cultivation took two full days, and he still hadn’t stopped. The serpent beast’s cultivation level was far higher than his. He had only absorbed less than a tenth of its vital energy, yet it was already his limit.

These vital energies were not easy to absorb and required Sun Wukong considerable time to refine.

While Sun Wukong slowly cultivated, the others grew impatient.

"Captain Blue Spirit, shouldn’t we move on? We’ve already delayed two days for this kid!"

"Exactly! It’s been two days already. We’re supposed to head to the Ancient God Ruins. We can’t waste time here!"

"Yeah, Captain Blue Spirit, let’s get moving!"

The serpent beast’s body had been stripped clean. The impatient bunch couldn’t wait for Sun Wukong’s slow cultivation and started urging Blue Spirit.

"Anyone who can’t wait can leave first. I, Blue Spirit, won’t stop you!"

Blue Spirit’s eyes swept over the crowd coldly with a snort.

The crowd fell silent. Someone forced a smile: "Captain Blue Spirit is joking. We bear no ill will; we just don’t want to waste too much time. It’s not worth it…"

"Whether it’s worth it, I have my standards. I don’t need others to judge!"

Blue Spirit’s eyes narrowed slightly, responding firmly without giving face, "My Blue Spirit Mercenary Group never leaves a comrade behind! If you’re dissatisfied, you can leave first!"

"Wait! Of course, we can wait! Just a few days, we can wait! We can wait!

Seeing Blue Spirit’s frosty expression and the uncomfortable looks on Zhao Jun and Zuo Xiaomiao’s faces, the crowd dared not say more and retreated awkwardly.

Despite being in meditation, Sun Wukong heard everything clearly, and a smile tugged at his lips. The members of Blue Spirit Mercenary Group were reliable companions he could trust with his back. On this journey to the Ancient God Ruins, he didn’t need to worry about his comrades stabbing him in the back.

However, this trust only extended to the members of Blue Spirit Mercenary Group. They had to be on high alert around others who might attack at any time!

Another two days passed, and Sun Wukong finally absorbed about half of the serpent beast’s vital energy. The remaining half was temporarily stored in his dantian for further refinement later. He didn’t want to keep Blue Spirit Mercenary Group waiting.

"You’ve reached the Yuan Emperor Realm! Sun Wukong, your cultivation is improving so quickly!"

Zhao Jun observed Sun Wukong with a flash of surprise in his eyes. In just four days, Sun Wukong had broken through from the Yuan King Realm to the Yuan Emperor Realm. This rapid improvement was astonishing!

"Merely lucky to absorb some of the beast’s vital energy. It’s nothing."

Sun Wukong smiled lightly without any pride. The serpent beast had enormous vital energy, and he had absorbed less than a tenth of it, only refining half so far. Otherwise, his improvement wouldn’t have been just one level.

While Sun Wukong’s Chaos Battle Body had limited capacity, a tenth of the vital energy was his limit. The serpent beast’s Yuan Marshal-level cultivation meant that even a tenth of its vital energy equaled several times that of an ordinary Yuan Emperor Realm expert. Sun Wukong’s breakthrough was unsurprising!
