Great Demon Sun Wukong

Chapter 88: Chapter 81 I Am the Heavenly Dao



Zhu Bajie, who was sent flying, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly got up. "Who exactly are you? Why have you transformed into Chang'er's appearance again?"

The woman in white looked at the disheveled Zhu Bajie and let out another cold snort. "Telling you is no harm, so you won't harbor any dissatisfaction!"

"I am Chang'er, and Chang'er is me. I am the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. I have existed since Pangu created Heaven and Earth. My existence is to ensure the balance of the Heavenly Dao and to eliminate all those who attempt to defy it."

"During the Primordial Era, your Demon Clan was so powerful that it almost wiped out all races in the Pangu Realm, except for the Demon Clan. So, I appeared to warn the leaders of the Demon Clan at the time. Unexpectedly, they did not heed my warnings and even conspired to take me on together.

Hmph, in the end, all but Nuwa were injured by me, which is why your leaders of the Demon Clan finally started to stay put in the Heavenly Palace."

"In Ancient Times, the Taoist Sect among humans suddenly rose, producing several extremely powerful Taoist masters. They also teamed up with Buddhism, waging a war that lasted a thousand years against the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan was defeated in the end, and the Taoist Sect and Buddhism each took over the Heavenly Palace and the Western Paradise Sacred Mountain.

After the defeat of the Demon Clan, the Taoist Sect and Buddhism had no intention of sparing the remaining Demon Clan and were ready to carry out a massacre. Thus, I appeared once more, defeating both the Tathagata from Buddhism and the Jade Emperor from the Taoist Sect. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any Demon Clan left afterwards."

"Now, although the Demon Clan and the Taoist Sect have been outwitted by Buddhism, I did not expect Buddhism to end up in such a state. Your Demon Clan can consider this a great vengeance avenged. So, let this war come to an end."

"The balance of the Heavenly Dao must be maintained, the remaining beings can be killed but not to the root. Therefore, none of these monks can be killed."

Having heard what the woman in white said, Zhu Bajie vaguely grasped something. Moreover, given the current situation, he was definitely unable to kill these monks himself. Not to mention the fearsome power of this woman in white, even if he could really do it himself, after the nine Golden Cores fell silent, he had become a pseudo-saint who had the status of a saint but not the power of one.

As he pondered, Zhu Bajie spoke up again, "Then what is really going on with you? I used to know Chang'er as well, but although you bear her looks, you are definitely not her. Yet, you just said you indeed are Chang'er, what exactly is going on?"

To Zhu Bajie's question, the woman in white actually gave a serious answer, which even made her feel somewhat strange within. It was as if she shared some extraordinary connection with Zhu Bajie, a feeling that did not make her fall for Zhu Bajie but did remove much of the enmity between them.

"The Chang'er you know should be another Chang'er. Let's put it this way, actually I am a person with two souls. During times of peace in the Three Realms, it is the other Chang'er who controls the body, but as soon as a crisis of annihilation arises within the Three Realms, I would awaken and then go to stop it.

As for this awakening, firstly, it was to ensure that neither the Taoist Sect nor Buddhism would be eradicated, and secondly, I have to eliminate someone. Otherwise, as long as he exists, Buddhism and the Taoist Sect are bound to perish sooner or later,"

At this point, the woman in white's tone turned cold again, filled with murderous intent.

"You, the one you seek to eliminate, could it be?"

"That's right, it's Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven from the Demon Clan. Hmph, a mere macaque dares to claim equality with Heaven? Now, off you go. Remember, the Heavenly Dao is inviolable, those who defy it must be slain!"

Having finished speaking, the woman in white swung her hand, and a white silk ribbon floated out, then wrapped around and took away the remaining Buddhist disciples, turning into a streak of light as they departed.

The once bustling Heavenly Palace was now desolate, with only Zhu Bajie sitting there alone on the ground. At this moment, Zhu Bajie's thoughts were in utter chaos. The person he had been searching for had been found at last, but she was no longer the one he knew. With a twist, she had become the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.

And she possessed terrifying and formidable cultivation. All of this came too suddenly, leaving the unprepared Zhu Bajie still in disbelief. Just like that, Zhu Bajie sat for half a day.

Not until after half a day did Zhu Bajie slowly rise to his feet. After half a day's contemplation, Zhu Bajie had come to terms with many things, including understanding many past events.

No wonder, after his affair with Chang'er was discovered by the Jade Emperor years ago, he suffered such severe punishment. Normally, though the rules of Heaven forbid the deities from engaging in private romances, if it really happened, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother usually turned a blind eye, only pretending not to see as long as it didn't go too far.

But when the Jade Emperor discovered his own love affair with Chang'er, he flew into an unusual and extreme rage. He directly ordered the removal of his own official post, stripped himself of his immortal status, and then cast himself into reincarnation.

Moreover, in the final moments, the Jade Emperor even personally took action, using the supreme power of the nine dragons to forcibly thrust himself into the path of animals, condemning himself to forever bear a body that was half pig, half human.

If it wasn't for the Jade Emperor's final intervention, even though he would have fallen to the Mortal World, relying on his former immortal status, at worst he would have been reincarnated into a royal family and enjoyed a noble status in the Mortal World. After all, as an Immortal, it would be impossible to directly fall from the Immortal Realm into the path of animals.

From this, one could see how angry the Jade Emperor really was.

Yet, after this incident, Chang'er did not receive any punishment or discipline, which, according to the heavenly laws, should have been imposed on both parties involved in a secret romance. But Chang'er, as if nothing had happened, still lived alone peacefully in the Moon Palace.

Now thinking about it, it must have been that the Jade Emperor had long been aware of Chang'er's identity as an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. A love affair with Chang'er, wasn't it an involvement with the Heavenly Dao? That was tantamount to riding on the neck of the Jade Emperor.

Moreover, with only the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, Chang'er could still monopolize the Moon, a privilege absolutely unique in the Three Realms. Even the Buddhism of the Western Paradise didn't express much.

All of this, was thanks to Chang'er's special identity.

Also, back when Brother Monkey wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor's cultivation was not much different from Brother Monkey's. Adding to that the million heavenly soldiers and many Immortals, how could Brother Monkey be left powerless by a single individual?

I used to think that the Jade Emperor was a coward. Now it seems it is not so simple. What can be certain is that the Jade Emperor would rather endure the chaos in Heaven without taking action, preferring to have someone invite Buddha Mahavairocana Tathagata from the Western Paradise to intervene in the end.

Surely he was hoping that Tathagata, by extinguishing Sun Wukong, would shatter the hope and foundation of the Demon Clan, thus awakening the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. If the incarnation truly awakened and saw the foundation of the Demon Clan destroyed, it would certainly attack Tathagata.

In such a case, Tathagata would likely be injured, to some extent, and then with some minor plots or even direct mobilization of troops, it would not be impossible for Heaven to take action.

However, it's a pity that Tathagata is not a fool either, having seen through the Jade Emperor's schemes. Therefore, in the end, he only suppressed Sun Wukong for five hundred years. Five hundred years, to a pinnacle Emperor Level power, is but a fleeting moment. These five hundred years, aside from intensifying Sun Wukong's hatred towards Heaven, have served no other purpose.

Oh, that's right, taking the opportunity to absorb the Spiritual Charm from Sun Wukong's mind was also one of the goals. It's just that Tathagata did not expect Sun Wukong to end up hating Buddhism as well.

Having realized all this, Zhu Bajie suddenly felt a shock in his heart. When the woman in white left, she had mentioned she was going to kill the wayward Sun Wukong. Although Bajie didn't know why Brother Monkey had become someone who defied the Heavenly Dao, it seemed the woman in white was not joking.

Looking at this, isn't Brother Monkey in danger? The woman in white's strength definitely exceeds the realm of a Saint, and even if Brother Monkey is strong, he is more likely to be doomed if he encounters her. No, I must quickly find Brother Monkey, at least to warn him. If it really comes down to it, he should flee, to wherever he can.

With this thought, Zhu Bajie rose up and mounted the clouds, ready to leave. At that moment, a voice transmitted into Zhu Bajie's mind.

"Second Elder Brother, Wukong is currently in the farthest east. But just yesterday, I suddenly lost the sense of his presence. You must hurry. If you find Wukong, tell him to flee as far as he can. The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao is not something you can contend with."

"You, you are Fan Xin? How are you? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, very well. Here, eat this peach; it will help you recover from your injuries. Give the other one to Wukong. Go quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Tell Wukong for me that Fan Xin will always be waiting for him."

As soon as she finished speaking, the space before Zhu Bajie fluctuated, and then two peaches, ripe and resplendent, appeared before him. He picked up one, placing it into the Sumeru Sack, and quickly ate the other.

"Fan Xin, I'm off; take good care of yourself. Farewell."

After speaking, Zhu Bajie transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the far eastern land.
