Chapter 680 -681: Let Them Come and Never Return (2nd update!)

The Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect had also noticed the monumental change in Flower-Fruit Mountain. Tathagata Buddha and Ran Deng Buddha wore rather unpleasant expressions—the development of Flower-Fruit Mountain was simply too rapid. Even the Buddhists’ own Spiritual Mountain had not yet freed itself from the earthly shackles, while Flower-Fruit Mountain had already floated into the sky.

Originally, when it was still on the ground, the full extent could not be seen, but now it became crystal clear—Flower-Fruit Mountain also had the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation composed of nine dragon veins!

In other words, Flower-Fruit Mountain had possessed Stellar Spiritual Qi all along. No wonder its development had been so rapid these past years!

“Ancestral Buddha, Flower-Fruit Mountain is already ahead of us; what do we do now?”

Within the Great Thunder Sound Temple, Ran Deng Buddha glanced at Tathagata Buddha, his complexion extremely somber.

The prerequisite for establishing Heavenly Court was for their foundational mountain range to levitate, but Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain had not reached this level. The floating strength required by the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation was too immense, not something easily achieved. Yet, Flower-Fruit Mountain had accomplished it!

How many years has the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult been established? Even if you include the day Sun Wukong was born, it hasn’t been two thousand years, right? In less than two thousand years, to achieve such a degree, elevating an entire mountain range with the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation into the high clouds was simply a provocation to Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain!

The feeling was like a heavy slap slapped resoundingly on the face of the Western Heavenly Buddhist Sect. Ran Deng Buddha felt a burning sensation on his cheeks, a mix of shock, shame, and anger, uncertain of what Tathagata Buddha might be thinking.

“What can we do?”

Tathagata Buddha’s eyes narrowed slightly, his complexion also darkened but calmer than Ran Deng Buddha, making it difficult to discern his thoughts. “In this step, the Demon Cult has indeed advanced beyond us, but they have also made themselves a target for all! Heavenly Court might tolerate Flower-Fruit Mountain’s dominance over Northern Continent of Cattle-grazing, ignoring our summons and refusing obedience, but they will never allow a second Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court to rise and challenge them! If I’m not mistaken, it should not take long before the Jade Emperor makes a significant move. We on Spiritual Mountain just need to watch as events unfold!”

“Just watch as events unfold! You always say we should just watch as events unfold. We might as well be ridden over the head if this keeps up!”

Ran Deng Buddha’s eyes widened, “You might tolerate it, but I can’t stand it any longer. We must take action!”

Saying this, Ran Deng Buddha rose to his full height and walked out of the great hall in great strides. Tathagata Buddha’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed through them, then a strange smile appeared on his face, and his figure vanished from the hall, returning to his meditation chamber.

He had anticipated Ran Deng Buddha’s reaction. Letting him test the depth of Flower-Fruit Mountain was good. He was currently in a critical period of cultivation and must not be distracted by these matters!

…

On the highest Floating Immortal Island in Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong let out a breath. After three days and nights of setup, Flower-Fruit Mountain had finally stabilized. The Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation’s geological veins and the Immortal Island’s power had merged and become one body. Now, the Stellar Spiritual Qi formed by the nine dragon veins would be able to provide the floating force for Flower-Fruit Mountain, no longer requiring the power of the Floating Immortal Island.

He pulled out a gourd of Dou Zhan Sheng Wine and drank nearly half of it in one go. With his current strength, although he could single-handedly accomplish the feat of levitating Flower-Fruit Mountain, the energy consumed was still astonishing. If not for the Chaos Divine Pearl, which stored energy sufficient to replenish his state three times, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to persist.

Now that it was finally completed, Sun Wukong could truly relax.

Sun Wukong sat cross-legged, floating three feet above the ground of the Immortal Island, urging the Eight-Nine Profound Skill to activate the Chaos Primordial Force within his body to absorb the strength from the battle wine. The wine transformed into pure energy, which was absorbed into his meridians, circulating in his body in accordance with the routes of the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, continuously transforming into Chaos Primordial Force. Sun Wukong’s originally nearly depleted Chaos Primordial Force was replenished and continuously surged into the Chaos Divine Pearl.

The power stored within the Chaos Divine Pearl had been depleted by half before and now needed to be fully replenished.

On other Immortal Islands, Leng Xuan and others watched the scene of Sun Wukong meditating with closed eyes, all profoundly shocked.

“Boss’s strength is truly becoming more inscrutable!”

“Such immense energy fluctuations; if it were me, I would have exhausted my strength long ago!”

“Yes, Boss is truly incredible! I never imagined I would witness such a miraculous sight one day!”

The praises for Sun Wukong were endless, all born from genuine admiration, especially from Erlang God Yang Jian, who once considered Sun Wukong his greatest rival. From some point onwards, Sun Wukong’s strength had far surpassed his, unreachable no matter how hard he chased, and this realization continued to grow with each day.

Today, the gap between Sun Wukong and him had become like a vast chasm, and Erlang God Yang Jian had abandoned the idea of catching up to Sun Wukong, leaving nothing but envy and admiration.

“Wukong, that lad, is really going big! What a capability!”

Puti Patriarch, Demon Master Kunpeng, Mosquito Daoist, and Guiding Daoist floated in the sky above the island, watching this spectacular scene with much emotion. Demon Master Kunpeng knew that even if he were in charge, achieving this level would be quite challenging, let alone that Sun Wukong was still only at the Half-Step Saint level of cultivation, managing to do this was nothing short of a miracle!

No, it was a divine act!

“Brother Wukong has always been so unexpectedly brilliant!”

Mosquito Daoist looked on with a face full of proud astonishment. He always had a nearly blind trust in Sun Wukong, always feeling that no matter what the issue was, it would be resolved easily in Sun Wukong’s hands, and there was nothing Sun Wukong couldn’t accomplish. The same held true now.

“Floating Flower-Fruit Mountain above the sky was indeed a grand gesture, a great boldness! Yet, this might attract the covetous eyes of various powers!”

Guiding Daoist thought about problems more realistically, perhaps due to having experienced the painful past of having his foundation usurped and being imprisoned in the shattered realm, Guiding Daoist thought more about how to deal with threats from various powers.

“Speaking of coveting, the Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect have always been eyeing Flower-Fruit Mountain covetously, even trying numerous times to annihilate it, but never succeeded! Now with us stationed at Flower-Fruit Mountain, even if the Jade Emperor and Buddha want to cause trouble for Flower-Fruit Mountain, they must weigh their options carefully!”

Puti Patriarch sneered, “The Flower-Fruit Mountain of today is no longer the Flower-Fruit Mountain of the past! If they do not come, all is well, but if they dare, we will ensure they have a one-way trip!”
