Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

A major upheaval had occurred in the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing!

The leader of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult, Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong, and Great Witch Jiu Feng fell out with each other. In Jiu Feng's cave dwelling at Mount Jiu Feng, they fought fiercely, leaving Jiu Feng severely wounded.

Demon God Bai Ze broke with Sun Wukong and left the Demon Cult, uprooting the vast marshland where his cave dwelling was located, along with Mount Jiu Feng and the underground spirit vein, and relocated them to the wastelands of the Southern Continent.

Subsequently, the entire spirit vein of Flower-Fruit Mountain was pulled out by its roots. An entire mountain range was directly transferred to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, connecting the vast marsh and Mount Jiu Feng. The Flower-Fruit Mountain range was placed there, replacing the original vast marsh and Mount Jiu Feng.

Where Flower-Fruit Mountain originally stood in East Victorious Divine Continent, a massive pit was created. The waters of the Eastern Sea poured into it, forcibly expanding the sea's area by half.

This series of actions caused shock throughout the Three Realms. Both the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court were paying close attention. They felt that Sun Wukong, after going through all this trouble to relocate Flower-Fruit Mountain, would certainly make a big move next—perhaps directly challenge Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect?

Contrary to the expectations of various powers, after relocating the spirit vein mountain, Flower-Fruit Mountain showed no significant movements. It seemed to have quieted down altogether, the situation being the same as before.

In the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, inside Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Boss, was relocating Flower-Fruit Mountain so urgently a bit too rushed?"

Regarding Sun Wukong's decision to relocate Flower-Fruit Mountain immediately, the vast majority within the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult did not understand, especially Through-Arm Ape Monkey Sun Wushuang and others. They had gotten used to Flower-Fruit Mountain facing the Eastern Ocean, where they could enter the waters of the Eastern Sea anytime through the water channel below Water Curtain Cave for a swim. Suddenly relocating to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing had caused Water Curtain Cave to lose its water source.

"Not at all, Old Sun has thoroughly thought this through!"

Sun Wukong smiled mysteriously, leading everyone into Water Curtain Cave Heaven. To everyone's surprise, the water in the supposed-to-dry Water Curtain Cave was not depleted. Moreover, the water now carried a trace of chill. Deep inside Water Curtain Cave Heaven, an intense heat emanated, creating a hall where the conference would be centered, dividing the cave into two halves, each with a distinctive temperature.

"Old Sun chose this time to relocate Flower-Fruit Mountain for two reasons. One is to consolidate our footing in the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, preventing the Demon Cult's influence here from being affected by Jiu Feng and Bai Ze's departure. The second reason is that Old Sun discovered the secrets of the vast marshland and Mount Jiu Feng!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand, and the ground seemed to become transparent, revealing the conditions deep below. It turned out that beneath the vast marshland lay a millennium cold lake teeming with rich water spiritual Qi. Below Mount Jiu Feng, there was a world of underground magma. This cold and hot duo of diverse spiritual energies was potent enough to provide Flower-Fruit Mountain with an extremely powerful energy to maintain the operation of the Mountain Protection Array.

This was indeed an exceptional advantage!

While these favorable conditions might not be apparent in the short term, in the long run, the benefits to the followers of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult were beyond imagination!

"Alright, although Flower-Fruit Mountain has moved to the Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, the influence in East Victorious Divine Continent must not be relaxed. We must not provide an opportunity for the Buddhist Sect and Heavenly Court! Everyone, please go arrange these matters!"

The high-ranking members of the Demon Clan dispersed, leaving only Mosquito Daoist and Demon Master Kunpeng behind.

"Wukong, you are still too compassionate! You should not have let them leave at the time!"

Demon Master Kunpeng shook his head, his eyes flashing with a glint of coldness, "Since they are destined to be enemies, they should have been completely detained to prevent future troubles!"

When Demon Master Kunpeng spoke these words, a clear intent to kill rose from him.

Mosquito Daoist could hardly believe his eyes as he looked at Demon Master Kunpeng, seemingly shocked that Kunpeng would utter such cold, ruthless words, especially since he had known Demon God Bai Ze and Great Witch Jiu Feng for so many years and considered them to be close friends.

"In an age of great conflict, one is either a friend or an enemy! They have made it clear that should we meet again, we will be enemies, and there should be no holding back! Wukong, by sparing them this time, they will surely bring trouble or even disaster to the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult in the future!"

"But..."

Mosquito Daoist tried to say something more but was interrupted by Sun Wukong, "Brother Kunpeng is right. It was indeed a womanly kindness on my part! Perhaps, they really will bring us major trouble in the future! The next time we confront them, I definitely won't show any mercy! Brother Luo, you should do the same!"

"I... I understand!"

Mosquito Daoist opened his mouth, but eventually he sighed and nodded in agreement.

In an age of great conflict, where one is either a friend or an enemy, it is indeed necessary to be unyielding, for the only ones who will end up hurt by soft-heartedness are oneself and others remaining.

In the Southern Continent, Great Witch Jiu Feng and Demon God Bai Ze's new Cave Dwelling.

"Smash!"

The stone table was smashed into pieces, and Great Witch Jiu Feng's beautiful face was full of ferociousness, "Damn that monkey, he actually took over our cave dwelling, such insolence too extreme!"

Sun Wukong had relocated Flower-Fruit Mountain from East Victorious Divine Continent to Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, taking over the exact place where Great Witch Jiu Feng and Demon God Bai Ze's cave dwelling had been. This news had spread throughout the Three Realms and also reached the ears of Great Witch Jiu Feng.

With the help of Demon God Bai Ze, Great Witch Jiu Feng's injuries gradually healed, but even though her physical wounds had healed, the emotional scars were not so easily mended; far from being mended, they were, in fact, becoming even deeper.

"Jiu Feng, it's not really the fault of Sun Wukong, we each moved our own mountains and cave dwellings. If Sun Wukong occupies that place, someone else would too..."

Demon God Bai Ze interjected, only to be glared at fiercely by Great Witch Jiu Feng. He immediately shut up, quietened down, though he did not feel he had spoken wrongly.

After Great Witch Jiu Feng awoke, Demon God Bai Ze got confirmation from her that indeed it was Jiu Feng who had betrayed the Demon Cult, capturing Jiang Liu'er along with the Demon Race to send him through the Two Realms passage to the Demonic Realm to be delivered to Demon Ancestor Luo Hu. After being discovered by Sun Wukong, in a fit of rage and frustration at being outmatched, she tried to kill Wukong but was instead severely injured by him.

The course of events and Sun Wukong's recount were identical. Demon God Bai Ze felt that he had indeed previously misjudged Wukong; had he been in Wukong's place, he likely would not have chosen differently. However, words once spoken and deeds already done cannot be changed; the draw of the bow had no turning back, and this enmity was destined from then on!

Unless he could forsake Great Witch Jiu Feng, but was that even possible?

"Bai Ze, I want to rebuild the altar and open the passage to the Demonic Realm! I want that wretched monkey to pay for his actions!"
