Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 491 - 264 Walk

For many years, countless brilliant individuals were thwarted at this gate, unable to enter, yet not a trace of excitement could be seen on Nezha's face.

Lu Yu naturally knew why Nezha would feel this way. Not to mention Yang Jian, a protector of the Xuan Gate, who after battling the Monkey, was the first to step into the Five Qi Toward the Yuan. Soon after, the Monkey, as the Child of Destiny, also entered through this gate, filling Nezha with envy, while Lu Yu's breakthrough had completely overturned Nezha's perceptions.

After all, Yang Jian had been stuck at the threshold of Five Qi Toward the Yuan for many years, with profound accumulation, and found his opportunity through a great battle, which was no easy feat. And the Monkey, as the Child of Destiny, supported by Heaven and Earth, advanced through the gate after causing Havoc in Heaven, which was also understandable.

But Lu Yu seemed somewhat inconceivable. Although he and the Monkey came from the same sect, compared to the Child of Destiny, he appeared just like an ordinary person, without any discernible advantage.

The progress of his past cultivation had proven this point, but with the passage of time and the deepening of his realm, Lu Yu's speed in cultivation became faster and faster, unknowingly achieving Five Qi Toward the Yuan. Not to mention that he even achieved the status of a Human Path Sage, benefiting all living beings.

Compared to them, Nezha felt his own cultivation progress was not fast enough, but after all, he still managed to keep up.

In fact, in the Three Realms today, after the generation of Nezha and Yang Jian, there are only a few who have truly entered the Five Qi Toward the Yuan, and one could say that they are the great powers of this era, with infinite potential.

"Fortunately, I have made it through the gate and now have a chance to catch up with you all," said Nezha, looking up at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu replied with a smile, "Then let's see which of us reaches the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top first."

Seeing the competitive spirit in Nezha's heart, how could Lu Yu not respond? He was no longer the Scholar who had just crossed over, wandering alone in the mountains. After experiencing so much, his spirit had grown strong enough to face these characters from myth and legend.

Moreover, others might not know him, but he was very aware of himself. Having witnessed the rivers of time and destiny, he was even more advantaged in achieving Three Flowers Gathering at the Top than Nezha and the others.

"By the way, since you're here, are you handling the little rat?" Lu Yu asked Nezha about his plan.

Nezha replied lightly, "Just secretly release her restrictions, and I won't show myself to avoid her noticing anything amiss. Actually, I mainly wanted to come and see you. Now that Yang Jian has secluded himself for cultivation, and my two elder brothers are in attendance on our teacher, I find myself without anyone to confide in. When I heard you were here, I took the initiative to come and see you."

Lu Yu nodded with a smile, knowing that this was Nezha feeling somewhat aimless and tense after his recent breakthrough, and thus was somewhat lost and confused when the tension was released. Therefore, Lu Yu seizing the opportunity to accept Nezha's challenge was to ignite Nezha's competitive spirit and rekindle his fighting spirit.

Indeed, after Lu Yu accepted his challenge, Nezha emerged from his low spirits, becoming spirited and full of fighting will once again. For them, who pursued the path of the Battle Immortals, a strong desire for battle was the source of their breakthroughs. In this aspect, the Monkey was especially outstanding; he was like a perpetually eager machine. Although he experienced loss and fear, deep in his heart there always lay a battle spirit, which might explain why the Monkey's breakthroughs came so easily.

After catching up with Lu Yu, Nezha rode his Wind Fire Wheels back to the Heavenly Court, while Lu Yu secretly glanced at the little mouse hiding in Cui Cui's house and gently tapped his finger. The sleeping Brocade Fur Rat didn't notice as the seal within her body that restrained her slowly began to loosen, although the process was a bit slow.

The next day, the Brocade Fur Rat got up early and found herself feeling incredibly refreshed and in better spirits than ever before, so she excitedly jumped around in her wooden box.

Her lively and adorable appearance immediately attracted Cui Cui's attention, who took out some nuts she couldn't bear to eat and broke them into pieces to feed her beloved pet. These nuts were hard-won, picked from outside of Lion Camel City, and Cui Cui usually couldn't bear to eat many herself.

But the Brocade Fur Rat didn't feel the same way at all, instead feeling fully entitled to enjoy Cui Cui's service. After eating her fill, she lazily lay in her box with Cui Cui's small fingers gently brushing over her belly, making the little mouse show an extremely comfortable expression on her face.

Just then, the little mouse seemed to notice something, her eyes suddenly wide open, as she finally realized that the damn restrictions in her body had somehow loosened without her knowing.

Frightened, she quickly looked around to see if there was a tinge of blue figure hidden in the vicinity. However, all she saw were some worn-out walls and the window that let in a slight breeze, no sign of Lu Yu's figure. Only then did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief. The once Demon King had become so timorous, the Brocade Fur Rat could imagine how she would be ridiculed by all the demons if this news got out.

"Xiao Bai, we're going to have a new home soon, and then I will have my own room and won't have to squeeze in one bed with mom and dad anymore. I will get you a new house then. Brother Lu Yu said that every girl should have her own room, I think it's supposed to be called a boudoir," Cui Cui gently stroked the Brocade Fur Rat's belly as she shared her thoughts with her.

Children don't carry many worries in their hearts, often remembering only the happy times, so it didn't sound annoying at all, but rather filled with childlike fun.

Meanwhile, the Brocade Fur Rat, looking at the innocent-faced little girl in front of her, had a complex look in her eyes, but no longer had any intent to kill.

When Cui Cui first took her in, the Brocade Fur Rat had been determined to kill her, but as time passed, living with Cui Cui and perhaps because her powers were sealed, her restless heart, after escaping Mount Ling, had settled down.

Any creature that could dwell for a long time on Mount Ling naturally harbored Buddhist intent. After being meticulously cared for by Cui Cui for this period, a gesture of kindness moved her heart, and she no longer had any intention of harming Cui Cui.

Feeling the gradual return of her power within, the Brocade Fur Rat felt like weeping. She had lived so humiliatingly during this time that she wished she could leave this accursed place right now.

So, she hopped onto Cui Cui's palm, gently touching the girl's palm with her ear, eliciting a bell-like laughter from the girl. Then she abruptly jumped off Cui Cui's palm, taking one last look at the little girl entwined with her karma, and turned away to disappear.

Having regained her strength, she employed a Deceptive Technique and mustered all her strength to leave Lion Camel City.
