Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

"Daoist Ancestor, what did you say?"

The Six-Eared Macaque was standing next to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor examining the treasures. Upon hearing Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor's words, he immediately came over with keen interest, "What is this Great Path Concretization, Rune Transmission? Is it really powerful?"

"Isn't it just so?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor motioned towards Sun Wukong, the last wisp of the Great Dao Runes from the book was integrating into Sun Wukong's forehead, "Great Path Concretization and Rune Transmission is an extremely special way of imparting knowledge. It can condense the Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts to be transmitted, along with the comprehensions and experiences, into the form of a book using Great Dao Runes, preserving them for a long time. When it encounters someone worthy of the inheritance, it will decompose back into the Great Dao Runes, transmitting everything without missing a single bit to that person."

"That strong?"

The Six-Eared Macaque widened his eyes. It wasn't hard to condense a book form for long-term preservation, but the difficult part was fusing experiences and comprehensions with Cultivation Techniques and Secret Arts; the difficulty wasn't just a small issue.

At least the Six-Eared Macaque had never seen it before, not even in the Yuan Realm!

"It seems the secret technique that Wukong has selected is very high-grade; otherwise, there would be no need to preserve it in such a manner!"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor laughed. Sun Wukong's strength could be enhanced once more, which would not only benefit Sun Wukong personally but would also be greatly advantageous to their friends and family, the entire Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, and all the comrades who ascended from the Three Realms!

Others on the Eighth Layer also noticed the commotion around Sun Wukong. Although, apart from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, no one else recognized it as the arts of Great Path Concretization and Rune Transmission, most people could guess that the treasure Sun Wukong chose was definitely extraordinary!

Among the crowd, the only one who felt dissatisfied was the Heavenly Prince. However, no matter how discontent the Heavenly Prince was, there was nothing he could do. He was still busy collecting his Spiritual Beast Bag and had no time to concern himself with anything else, so he had to temporarily suppress his dissatisfaction and concentrate fully on collecting his treasure.

"Hey, this Soul Shocking Stab is indeed powerful, worthy of being called a Divine Art!"

So far, the only Divine Arts Sun Wukong knew were the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations and the Soul Shocking Stab. There's no need to mention the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations; each style is extremely ingenious in its transformations, making people marvel, especially the defensive Body Techniques like White Cloud Smoke and Rosy Clouds Drifting, which have saved Sun Wukong's life more than once. Without these Divine Arts, who knows how many times Sun Wukong could have died!

Up to now, Sun Wukong has only comprehended the first five styles of the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, namely White Cloud Smoke, Rosy Clouds Drifting, Three Mysterious Explosion, Doppelganger Slash, and Life and Death Instant. There are still four styles he hasn't comprehended yet, and it's unknown when he will, but it can be imagined they are certainly formidable.

This Soul Shocking Stab is also an extremely potent Divine Art, and once performed, it can take even those whose cultivation strength surpasses Sun Wukong by surprise at a disadvantage unless he's up against a pinnacle Domain Emperor or even a Domain Saint level expert, otherwise Sun Wukong would still have a strong fighting chance.

He directly walked to a corner of the Eighth Layer, laid down a defensive Barrier, and sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending the Soul Shocking Stab, constantly practicing it within his Spiritual Space.

"Amazing! Truly amazing! Such a wondrous Divine Art! If only I had obtained this marvelous art Soul Shocking Stab earlier, pairing it with the Mysterious Heaven Nine Transformations, I wouldn't have been so passive against the Eight-Headed Dragon Turtle and the Eight-Clawed Octopus Monster, almost without any power to fight back and just run for my life!"

Sun Wukong was silently astonished while comprehending, because the Soul Shocking Stab was transmitted to him using the method of Great Path Concretization and Rune Transmission, he almost received all the experiences and comprehensions of the creator of this marvelous art, leading to a swift mastery, almost within a small moment of sitting cross-legged he had thoroughly mastered this marvelous art, and was already able to perform it quite skillfully!

If that Heavenly Prince bore ill intentions and came to provoke, Sun Wukong wouldn't mind delivering him a free demonstration of the Soul Shocking Stab, allowing him to feel this Divine Art's might!

After acquiring the Divine Art Soul Shocking Stab, Sun Wukong's three slots for selecting treasures were used up, and he couldn't collect any more even if he found other treasures. Yet, he didn't stop, but instead got up and continued to explore the remaining treasures.

In fact, Sun Wukong himself had selected all his Magical Treasures, but there were still Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others; he wanted to use his Void-Breaking Moon Eyes to pick out the good stuff among these treasures for Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others to choose.

"Damn it! What kind of Pupil Skill does this Demon Monkey have, why does he assert the quality of treasures so confidently?"

Heavenly Prince watched as Sun Wukong helped Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others select the remaining treasures one by one, each showing satisfied smiles on their faces, implying the treasures they selected were indeed not bad, causing him to be greatly indignant.

He knew Sun Wukong's eyes were extraordinary, endowed with a miraculous inherent Pupil Skill, yet didn't know exactly what it was. Watching Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others almost finish selecting their respective treasures, Heavenly Prince couldn't help but start feeling anxious, for he still had his last treasure unselected!

Meanwhile, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others were already discussing entering the Ninth Layer!

"Isn't this Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault only eight layers, where does this Ninth Layer suddenly come from?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others looked at Sun Wukong strangely, Sun Wukong mentioned wanting to go up to the Ninth Layer, but where is the passage to the Ninth Layer? With no passage, how to ascend to the Ninth Layer?

"Isn't that the passage?"

Sun Wukong pointed his hand toward the stairway passage, which had just revealed itself right after he collected the last treasure, previously it never appeared, "Daoist Ancestor, you all can't see it?"

Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor and others shook their heads, only Leng Xuan and later arriving Luo Bai nodded.

Luo Bai, the Leader of Tongtian, and Nezha had all finished selecting their three treasures before entering the Eighth Layer, they entered just out of curiosity, yet didn't regret it, because the three Magical Treasures they selected were extremely compatible with themselves, even within this Eighth Layer, it wasn't guaranteed they could find something better.

Sun Wukong quite agreed on this point, regardless of what kind of treasure it is, only the one most suitable for oneself is the best and can exert the greatest effect!

Other than Luo Bai, the Leader of Tongtian, and Nezha, no one else entered the Eighth Layer, some because they couldn't break the Formation and Prohibitions on the stairway from the Seventh Layer to the Eighth, but more because they had already selected all the treasures they could, going up would have been futile, so they simply left.

"Leng Xuan, Luo Bai, you can see that passage? Daoist Ancestor, you all can't see it?"
