Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 759 - 681: Entering the Canyon Again_2

Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised. He never knew there was such a story, "Actually, I've already died once, and my soul went to a place called the Netherworld World. Later, the Domain Lord there, Yue Huangquan, let me resurrect, and gave me this body. The cost of the resurrection was the complete fusion of my soul and body. I didn't know there was such a limitation. No wonder later, any enhancement of my body's strength only occurred after my soul was also enhanced. I had tried refining my body separately, but it had no significant effect. Are you saying that Yue Huangquan deliberately trapped me? He doesn't want me to become stronger?"

The little monkey shook his head and said, "That's probably not the case. I know a bit about Yue Huangquan. He indeed has extraordinary accomplishments with souls, but when it comes to the physical body, he's a novice. He probably didn't know about this drawback. He shouldn't have meant to harm you; on the contrary, he was probably trying to do you good. A complete fusion of soul and body can greatly enhance a person's combat power, and make it easier to comprehend some profound spells. It's like trading the future for temporary strength. But don't worry, your soul has already separated from your body. We have Grandfather Turtle to thank for that!"

Sun Wukong couldn't believe it. He never felt anyone had tampered with his body. How could it suddenly be separated? He tried unbelievingly and indeed, Sun Wukong successfully performed Primordial Spirit Out-of-Body, separating his soul from the body. "When did this happen? How come I didn't feel anything?" Sun Wukong was truly shocked. Someone had tampered with his body without his slightest awareness, which proved that someone could kill him completely undetected.

Seeing Sun Wukong's shocked expression, the little monkey gestured with its mouth towards his back. Sun Wukong instantly realized something, quickly removed the cloak behind him, and tried again. This time, the soul did not leave the body, but it was much looser than before. "So it was the cloak that did it. But when I checked before, the cloak seemed nothing special, aside from its astonishing defensive power!" The little monkey huffed and said, "How can your mortal eyes recognize the treasure of the Immortals? This cloak can slowly affect your soul; by the time we reach the final stage, your body and soul will completely separate. For now, it only works while wearing the cloak."

Unwilling to give up, Sun Wukong tried Divine Consciousness Scouting again but still found nothing. It seems the cloak was certainly not as simple as he had thought. The little monkey glanced into the distance and said, "All five petals have turned blood red; we can continue onward. Let's go to the next place to find the second Spirit Flower. By the way, can you conceal that tattoo? It looks very odd!" Sun Wukong quickly controlled the tattoo to retreat under his skin. He had indeed forgotten about the red flower on his forehead; it was weird. Sun Wukong now roughly knew that the power of the Three Spirits Flower must all be sealed within the petals and had not entered his body, so his physical body had not been strengthened.

And so, the two of them hit the road once again. With the little monkey leading, Sun Wukong was relieved of much trouble. Although the road was not easy to travel, they didn't encounter any danger. Also, the little monkey's introductions along the way gave Sun Wukong a pretty good understanding of the Fallen Tomb. "Spirit Monkey, let me ask you, besides me, is there anyone else inside the Fallen Tomb right now?" Sun Wukong asked purely out of boredom, but the little monkey's answer made him feel like he had unintentionally planted a willow that grew into shade. "If it was before, I would have said no, minding my own business is better than meddling. But now that we're clear with each other, I might as well tell you. Besides you, there indeed is a group of people here. However, the place they are in is very special, even I can't get in, I only knew a long time ago that a group had entered there."

Sun Wukong immediately got interested and asked for details, but the little monkey didn't know much either. Just that a very long time ago, someone led a group into that place, and they never came out again. Not being able to enter, the little monkey also had no idea who those people were or what their situation was now. "If you're interested, after you're done here, you might want to take a look; you have a physical body, you should be able to get in!" Sun Wukong wasn't expecting the little monkey to be so cooperative, but then he thought, this must also be to show his stance.

Sun Wukong nodded, "We just need to find the remaining two Three Spirits Flowers, then strengthen my soul and coordinate it with my body to unleash a full explosion, right? Then, wouldn't I become a super powerful person? Could I go to that place then?" The little monkey suddenly avoided Sun Wukong's gaze and looked into the distance, taking half a second before replying, "Yes, that's correct! Now, let's hurry up on our way; we don't have much time left!" Having said that, the little monkey sped up, and Sun Wukong, not noticing anything amiss, quickened his pace to follow.

Two days later, Sun Wukong and the little monkey once again arrived in front of a canyon, and Sun Wukong's face turned green. He had developed a snake-like dread for canyons. If a person is bitten by a snake once, even a non-venomous one, they would still have a profound fear of snakes, making sure to avoid them next time. Now, Sun Wukong felt like he had been bitten by a poisonous but not lethal snake, and instead of running away, he was offering his other hand to the snake for another bite. The feeling was indeed unpleasant.
