Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 624 - 581 Flower Fruit Mountain_3

But in that battle, the Demon Clan was defeated, and almost the entire race was annihilated. Now only the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain from the entire Pangu Realm remain, merely several thousand, and among them, only these five are of Demon King level.

After that defeat, Sun Wukong sought the Five-Colored Divine Stone and engaged in a final battle with an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, a Taoist Sect expert. Sun Wukong was slain by Chang'er. His soul went to the Netherworld World. In the Netherworld World, Sun Wukong stayed for a total of three years. This included cultivating in the Supreme Pool and undergoing trials in the Patrolling Celestial World for altogether six months. In other words, after originally dying, Sun Wukong returned to the Pangu Realm after three years and six months. However, when Sun Wukong spoke of this to the Flood Dragon Demon King and others, the Flood Dragon Demon King told him that he had actually been gone for a full three hundred and fifty years.

Is time in the Divine Kingdom and high-level worlds not equivalent? Is one year in the Divine Kingdom a hundred years in the lower worlds?

Therefore, Sun Wukong felt he was not worthy to be the Demon King of Flower Fruit Mountain, and it was precisely for this reason that the little monkey did not come back with Sun Wukong.

When Sun Wukong finished speaking, all the monkeys knelt down on the ground, yet not a single one of them spoke.

At this moment, a white-haired old monkey shakily raised its head and said something to Sun Wukong that instantly brought tears streaming down his face.

"Flower Fruit Mountain takes pride in Sun Wukong. The monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain are proud that their king is the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, a pride that can be passed down for ten thousand years, a million years, unto eternity," said the white-haired old monkey. Immediately after, a little monkey could not help but leap to Sun Wukong's feet and pleaded in a babyish voice, "Great, Great King, I was born after you left. I haven't seen you before, but I know all about you, oh. My daddy told me that because of the Great King, we are no longer wild monkeys. Great King, please don't stop being our king, okay?"

Holding the little monkey in his arms, Sun Wukong was already sobbing uncontrollably. It was better to say that he was a willful child among this tribe of monkeys rather than their king, always causing trouble and bringing his family into it, often leaving for a long time without return. Yet these family members never blamed him; no matter how long he was gone, not one monkey held any resentment toward him. What they felt was pure joy.

Sun Wukong still remembered when he went to the Western Paradise to fetch the scriptures. When he encountered the White Bone Spirit and was misunderstood by his master and driven away, upon his return to Flower Fruit Mountain, all the monkeys celebrated as though it was the New Year in the mortal world. To these simple monkeys, perhaps their only hope each day was for their king to come home. These family members would never misunderstand him, nor would they ever abandon or resent him.

Looking into the longing eyes of the little monkey in his arms and seeing the expectant faces of the prostrate monkeys below, Sun Wukong's heart was touched deeply once again. What is family? This is true family; no matter how big a trouble you've caused or how long you have not been home, what family offers you is always a strong and supportive embrace.

"Alright, I will still be your king. Come, let the king see if you've eaten all the peaches in Flower Fruit Mountain in these three hundred plus years. Right, go and choose whatever you want from those items, they are all for you," said Sun Wukong, who then proceeded with the Peng Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, Yang Jian, and several elder monkeys from the tribe along the mountain path toward the Water Curtain Cave.

Fan Xin followed closely behind Sun Wukong, her face brimming with a smile. When Sun Wukong reached midway up the hill, he saw that a rather broad open space had been cleared in front of the original entrance to the Water Curtain Cave. At the center of this open space stood a ten-meter tall statue made of greenstone. Beside the statue was a flagpole over twenty meters tall, and at the top of the pole, a scarlet banner fluttered in the wind.

"Monkey, how about it? The Flag of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven is impressive, isn't it? Even the old Jade Emperor's flags were not this big," said the Flood Dragon Demon King. As Sun Wukong came down a mountain path beside the Water Curtain Cave, he was behind the statue and the flag. The flag fluttered in the wind, and Sun Wukong could clearly see it bore the words "Great Sage Equalling Heaven." As for the statue, its features were obscured. "Who is that statue of? Why is it so big?"

At this, Yang Jian smiled and said, "Why not take a closer look?" Sun Wukong nodded, flicked a speck of Spatial Sand, and it shot out like lightning. In the next moment, Sun Wukong appeared right in front of the greenstone statue. "It's, it's actually me? Not bad, not bad at all. Quite imposing, exceedingly so, much like when I caused an uproar in the Heavenly Palace," the colossal greenstone statue was none other than Sun Wukong himself, precisely depicting him from the time he flipped over the Jade Emperor's throne with a single strike.

Wearing Chain Golden Armor, Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown on his head, and Lotus Thread Cloud-Walking Boots on his feet; indeed, he looked magnificent and stern.

"Wait here for a bit, I have something to do. I'll be back soon!"

The sight of this statue stirred something in Sun Wukong's mind.

Such an impressive statue, just standing here is such a waste. He was about to leave once again and definitely had to leave something to protect Flower Fruit Mountain.

Before leaving the Patrolling Celestial World, Sun Wukong had obtained the World Suppressing Steles of the Netherworld World, the Canglan River Realm, and the Ancient Primordial World, plus one from the Mystic Space of the Fangcun Spirit Realm, making a total of four steles. So Sun Wukong was originally planning to set up a Four Symbols Soul Locking Great Array centered on Flower Fruit Mountain. With these four steles as the Formation Eyes, Flower Fruit Mountain would likely become the spiritual core of this cosmic region. If all went well, within three to five hundred years at most, the Pangu Realm would evolve into an Intermediate World.
