Great Demon Sun Wukong

Ji Meng and Ying Zhao, who had been cultivating in two wooden huts, opened their eyes at the same time and also spread out their Divine Sense. When they discovered that the Divine Sense probing them was indeed Sun Wukong’s, they trembled excitedly all over. However, Sun Wukong transmitted through Divine Consciousness Transmission, "It’s good that you two are unharmed.

My current situation is a bit special, so you two just focus on your cultivation. After some time, I will explain in detail to you both with my Divine Sense!"

After he had spoken, Sun Wukong’s Divine Sense receded like the ebb of tide, and at the same time, the Primordial of Divine Consciousness that had taken on the appearance of Sun Wukong’s own body also swiftly withdrew. Just as the Divine Sense had barely faded, Sun Wukong felt a daunting Heaven and Earth Pressure and the immense power of Cosmic Rules surging towards him.

However, the pressure and the power of the rules merely swept over Sun Wukong before slowly dissipating, but even so, Sun Wukong broke out in a cold sweat, and even Xi Zhao beside him was unsettled, hastily inquiring as to what had happened. Sun Wukong then narrated the events he had just experienced to Xi Zhao, who repeatedly exclaimed how close they had been to disaster.

As it turned out, the original speculation between Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao was indeed correct. The Netherworld World was a higher existence than the High Level worlds, and such an existence maintained extremely stringent rules. Especially in the Netherworld World, apart from those granted permission by Yue Huangquan, no living thing or person was allowed to appear here.

Should any sign of living breath emerge, it would immediately invoke the annihilative might of the Heaven and Earth Pressure of the Netherworld World and the obliteration of the Cosmic Rules.

It was also fortunate that the World Within the Artifact where Sun Wukong was located had only revealed a slight crack and because Ji Meng and Ying Zhao were within the Jingu Bang’s World Within the Artifact and not directly in the Netherworld World. Additionally, the rich nature’s spiritual energy within the World Within the Artifact had obstructed the scrutiny of the Netherworld World.

But it was merely an obstruction, not a complete blockade. Had Sun Wukong been even a breath slower, it was likely that not only Ji Meng and Ying Zhao within the World Within the Artifact would have been eradicated, but Sun Wukong himself might have been directly obliterated as well.

Feeling the supreme Heaven and Earth Pressure, both Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao were drenched in cold sweat with lingering fear.

However, what the two had failed to notice due to their shock was that the little girl, Caomei, who was wrapped in the nine tails of the White Fox, had retracted one of her delicate little fingers then reached up to wipe the sweat from her forehead before peacefully falling back asleep as if nothing had happened.

All the while, the White Fox remained unaware, continuing to sleep soundly.

Nevertheless, even though they had almost been eradicated by the Cosmic Rules just now, Sun Wukong couldn’t help feeling overjoyed deep down. Not only were the two of them alive, but their strengths had also significantly improved, which really was great news.

So, for the entire day, Sun Wukong was in high spirits, feeling as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. Moreover, they had smoothly crossed the river via the wooden bridge under the White Fox’s guidance and were, at most, three days away from reaching Supreme City.

Then they could properly rest, participate in the selection of three thousand people, and afterward, it would be the turn to enter the Supreme Pool and advance to become a Nine Patterns Supreme!

With this in mind, the group quickened their pace. However, this mainly referred to Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao, as the White Fox, even without speeding up, could still fling Sun Wukong and the other a far distance with just a wiggle of its butt and a flick of its leg.

What was supposed to take about three days to reach, had them arriving at Supreme City by noon the following day!

Standing in front of this grand city ranked second among the ten Inner Cities, Sun Wukong was truly astonished. But he was the only one shocked!

The other three all had the look of "I don’t know this person" on their faces, and they entered the city quietly, leaving only Sun Wukong behind, stunned by the imposing aura of Supreme City. By the time Sun Wukong came to his senses, Xi Zhao and the others had gone quite far. Had he not been able to see the White Fox’s nine snowy tails, Sun Wukong might not have been able to find them.

He quickly scratched his head, slightly concealing his embarrassment, then hurriedly caught up with them.

Xi Zhao wasn’t particularly concerned about Supreme City; in his life, he had seen numerous impressive structures, and although Supreme City was imposing, it didn’t cause Xi Zhao too much interest. The White Fox didn’t care about such things at all; to her, all cities looked the same. And the little girl seemed not at all unfamiliar with Supreme City; she seemed as if she was returning home!

Seated on the White Fox’s back, she was all smiles without a trace of strangeness. This was something Xi Zhao took some notice of. Soon, Sun Wukong also caught up, and after expressing their strong contempt for Sun Wukong, the group found an inn to rest, led by the White Fox. Sun Wukong was also surprised by the little girl’s familiarity with the place but didn’t say much.

As long as there was no malice, who cared who she was?

Upon entering Supreme City, Sun Wukong felt a very intense and desolate atmosphere. The streets were deserted except for a few passersby hurrying along their way. Moreover, both sides of the street were lined with shops and homes that were all tightly shut.

Were it not for the sight of two rows of twenty-four Eight Patterns Supreme guards at the gate upon entering the city, one might have thought it was a ghost town!

Thankfully, with the little girl leading the way, the group found an inn that was still closed up tight in the center of the city. Otherwise, Sun Wukong and the others might not have known what to do. Of course, that was Sun Wukong’s thought, while Xi Zhao had a completely different feeling.

Xi Zhao had heard of this Supreme City during his lifetime—a city exclusively populated by powerful beings of Seven Patterns Supreme and above. Such grandeur was rare, even among the Six Great Divine Nations. But at this moment, Xi Zhao was also perplexed by the strange atmosphere of Supreme City.

Then, under the little girl’s guidance, the group entered the inn and arrived at the counter where Xi Zhao pulled out several Eight Patterns Soul Beads. These were the last of their loot and had been specially obtained by hunting down some relatively docile Soul Beasts on the great plains. After all, they had nothing on them; if they hadn’t obtained these, life in the city would have been difficult. Read new chapters at empire

Unexpectedly, when they placed the Soul Beads on the counter, the innkeeper, who had been lounging lazily behind it, glanced at them once and shook his head indifferently. Before Xi Zhao could ask anything, the girl riding on the back of the little fox Caomei suddenly pulled Xi Zhao aside with an ’ow, ow’ and took out a token from her embrace.

The token was strange, appearing to be a palm-sized mask, and the face on it bore a striking resemblance to Caomei. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The previously indolent innkeeper was startled when he saw the token, quickly got to his feet, took the token with both hands to inspect it carefully, and then, with trembling hands, presented it respectfully back to the little girl Caomei. He stepped around the counter ready to kneel and kowtow.

At that moment, however, the nine large tails of the little fox suddenly extended and propped the innkeeper up, while the little girl Caomei said, "Give us three of your best rooms, and remember, you’ve never seen me or this token, understood?" The sight of an eight or nine-year-old girl sitting high atop a large White Fox and speaking down to a man in his fifties or sixties in such an authoritative tone was indeed incredible.

The old man was as grateful as if he had been granted amnesty, continuously thanking them while personally leading the way. He brought the three of them and the fox to three doors in the middle of the third floor.

"Sir, these are the finest guest rooms in our establishment. May I know if you have any other instructions?"

Caomei entered on the back of the little fox, while the sharp-eyed innkeeper had already pushed the room doors open. "Hmm, not bad. From today on, we want the best for all three meals, delivered to our rooms. And then, start preparing the four sets of items needed to enter the Supreme Pool. Remember, one set is for the little White Fox."

After speaking, she didn’t even glance at the innkeeper, hopped down, and began walking around. The innkeeper repeatedly agreed, slowly closed the room doors, and left. Once outside the room, the innkeeper finally took a deep breath, having been extremely tense the entire time.

As he relaxed, the innkeeper then saw Sun Wukong and Xi Zhao standing outside the room, one sitting, one standing, arms crossed. This scared him almost out of his wits. He suddenly remembered the other formidable person who came with the little ’Sir’ and realized there were two more masters present.

The innkeeper quickly bowed again to apologize, and Xi Zhao waved his hands, saying, "No need for such formalities, innkeeper. I want to ask you, what does that token signify? Don’t tell me that little girl is some big shot?"

On hearing this, the innkeeper, who realized that these two ’masters’ were actually referring to the ’Sir’ as a little girl, was terrified to the core. He quickly turned to see if she had heard but realizing she hadn’t, he patted his chest and made a gesture for silence, then quickly went downstairs.

The innkeeper did not know if he might die of fright if he stayed any longer. Was today his lucky or unlucky day? Why on earth had that important person come to his little inn?

(There are still 10 spots left—hurry, people!)
