Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 866 - 867: Pangu Awakens (First Update!)

"Quickly remove the barrier and help out! I can’t hold on much longer!"

Zhao Jun’s voice echoed from outside the Sealing Spirit Barrier.

Sun Wukong turned his head to look; Zhao Jun had been struck by Pangu’s axe and was sent crashing into the Sealing Spirit Barrier, covered in blood from head to toe. He appeared to be at his limit and likely wouldn’t hold out for even another quarter of an hour.

Pangu, brandishing his long-handled great axe, was charging towards him with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Not good!"

Sun Wukong’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly removed the Sealing Spirit Barrier. Zhao Jun narrowly slipped into the range of the nine Sealing Spirit Columns, dodging Pangu’s fierce axe by a hair’s breadth.

"Qiankun Wuji, Primordial Spirit Fusion!"

Pangu wasn’t one of those restricted fierce beasts and could also enter the range of the Sealing Spirit Columns. Sun Wukong watched as Pangu, with terrifying murderous intent, charged forward, ready to launch a deadly attack on them. He dared not slacken and quickly released the sealed compassionate primordial spirit acquired from the Sealing Spirit Rune, shooting it towards Pangu’s body.

Buzz~!

As soon as the compassionate primordial spirit made contact with Pangu’s body, Pangu was momentarily stunned. The axe he had already raised suddenly halted, and he stood there in a daze. However, the ferocity and killing intent in his eyes rapidly dissipated, and his divine consciousness returned to him.

"Brother Wukong? Is that you?"

After regaining his divine consciousness, the first thing Pangu saw was Sun Wukong. Shock flashed in his eyes, along with a deep confusion. "What am I doing? Wasn’t I studying the Sealing Spirit Rune? What happened afterward? I can’t remember anything."

"Brother Pangu, studying the Sealing Spirit Rune consumed too much of your divine sense, causing your compassionate primordial spirit to separate from the fierce primordial spirit and get absorbed and sealed by the Sealing Spirit Columns, leading to loss of consciousness. That’s why you don’t know anything."

Sun Wukong chuckled, "But don’t worry, I’ve helped you recover your compassionate primordial spirit. Can you feel it’s normal now?"

"Was my compassionate primordial spirit absorbed?"

Pangu clearly didn’t know what had happened to him. The experiences with only half a fierce primordial spirit wouldn’t be retained as memories. But Pangu knew Sun Wukong wouldn’t joke about such matters.

Previously, to quickly understand the Sealing Spirit Rune, he had indeed consumed his primordial spirit without rest. Perhaps, as Sun Wukong said, too much divine sense was consumed, leading to half of the compassionate primordial spirit being extracted by the Sealing Spirit Columns, causing him to lose his rationality and engage in instinctive killing.

"Wukong, I imagined countless times about our reunion, but never like this!"

Pangu flew to Sun Wukong, half sentimental, half embarrassed. He had already realized that Sun Wukong now had the cultivation of a Domain Soldier, far inferior to him. Yet, to walk here safely and recover the sealed half of the compassionate primordial spirit, Sun Wukong’s combat power must be far stronger than his cultivation!

But this was normal. When he encountered Sun Wukong during the Ancient Chaos Era, Sun Wukong already displayed strength far beyond his cultivation. Pangu still remembered that violent combat power vividly.

Sun Wukong wasn’t from the Ancient Chaos Era; he belonged to the Three Realms millions of years later. When he left to return to his world, Pangu finally broke through his limits, advancing to become a Chaos Saint, or Yuan General Realm, escaping his original fate, successfully destroying the Heavenly Dao’s eye and opening heaven without backlash.

After ascending to Heaven Realm from Ancient Primeval, Pangu’s cultivation progressed quickly, now reaching the Domain King Realm. However, due to killing the East Polar Young Master of Sky-shaking Cliff, he was wanted by Sky-shaking Cliff with rich rewards. Forced into the Beast Spirit Mountain Range by those greedy fellows, he happened to encounter the emergence of Ancient God Ruins and hid inside.

The Ancient God Ruins were established by the powerful Beast Spirit Sect of ancient times. One could enter but not exit. To leave, one had to pass all the trials and reach the core area. Pangu passed many trials, entering these nine overlapping spaces.

Without Sun Wukong’s Void-Breaking Moon Eyes, Pangu’s understanding of the Sealing Spirit Rune was slow and exhausting, which led to his primordial spirit being separated.

Looking at Sun Wukong in front of him, Pangu felt mixed emotions. The fate during the Ancient Chaos Era changed his destiny, and now, meeting Sun Wukong again, he saved him. He owed a great favor!

"Brother Pangu, no need for such formality. Meeting again is fate. Now I helped you, next, you might be helping me, right?"

Sun Wukong giggled. Pangu, now at the Domain King Realm, was much stronger than him. In these Ancient God Ruins, with many trials and dangers, having a powerful partner like Pangu was very reassuring!

"Hey, this friend is severely injured, what’s going on?"

Pangu laughed heartily, glancing at Zhao Jun beside him. He was surprised to see the wounds, which looked exactly like his handiwork. Could it be...

Indeed, Zhao Jun smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "These are all your handiwork, Brother!"

"Uh, really my doing?"

Pangu paused, revealing an embarrassed expression.

Sun Wukong laughed and shook his head, "Isn’t it you, Brother Pangu! Before, you had only half the primordial spirit, the fierce part. Seeing us, you attacked relentlessly. To understand the Sealing Spirit Rune and rescue your compassionate primordial spirit, Brother Zhao had to hold you off. You beat him up quite badly; how to compensate, decide yourself, I won’t interfere."

Turning away, Sun Wukong leisurely flew aside, a mischievous smile tugging at his lips. Zhao Jun was indeed beaten badly by Pangu, covered in wounds. If Pangu didn’t compensate him, Zhao Jun might bear grudges.

Pangu, facing Zhao Jun, apologized profusely. The wounds on Zhao Jun were evident, and as someone at the Domain Marshal Realm, his cultivation was lower by one level. Pangu’s previous actions were indeed bullying. frёeωebɳovel.com

Though it was unconscious behavior under loss of divine consciousness, Pangu never shirked responsibility. He took out the best healing spiritual medicine to treat Zhao Jun while guiding his cultivation, greatly benefiting Zhao Jun. Their relationship quickly blossomed, which was exactly what Sun Wukong wanted.

"Alright, Brother Pangu, Brother Zhao, you’ve consumed a lot. Rest well, let’s prepare to leave!"
