Initially, Sun Wukong had promised Ye Zi that he would help revive his brother Ye Wu; it's just that he had never found the time to do so. Now having recently met with his teacher Master Zun and the final negotiations with various powers having ended, as well as the emergence of the undercover agent in the Netherworld World, it could be said that aside from the final battle with the Myriad Demons Country, Sun Wukong had no more worries. Especially after he had asked Master Zun if his mystic space could accommodate Old Sha and received an affirmative reply, Sun Wukong's heart was finally put at ease.
However, just to be safe, Sun Wukong still took Old Sha to Master Zun's place, and only after he personally saw Old Sha smoothly enter that mystic space, and with Sun Wukong unable to catch even the slightest trace of Old Sha's presence even in his prime state with the Heaven and Earth Dao Eye, did a long-lost smile finally appear on Sun Wukong's face. Although Sun Wukong didn't interact much with Sha Wujing, Sha Wujing's place in his heart was absolutely irreplaceable. If Sun Wukong had to choose between himself and Old Sha to live, he would definitely choose Old Sha. This is the kind of affection a senior brother has for his younger brother, far exceeding that of blood brothers.
Moreover, when the powers had discussed their plans that day, Sun Wukong had taken the opportunity to introduce Old Sha's identity to everyone present, stating something that left a lasting impression: "If someone punches me, maybe I will just smile and ignore it. But if someone punches my junior brother, then I will certainly break his arm. If someone breaks my junior brother's arm, then I will definitely destroy him, his soul scattering to the winds!"
Sun Wukong had been worried about Old Sha before, but now he finally let out a sigh of relief. No matter the outcome of the coming battle, as long as he was alive, Old Sha would absolutely not die. Once the trial was over, he would go to the Fangcun Spirit Realm, bid farewell to Master Zun, and then take Old Sha back to the Pangu Realm. After such a long time, he wondered how the Pangu Realm was faring, whether Bajie, Fan Xin, and Old Bull were still alive. But even if they were dead, it wouldn't matter. With Sun Wukong's current strength, it wouldn't matter whether it was Chang'er or the Heavenly Dao, he could annihilate them with a flick of his finger.
And with his current Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, as long as he returned to the Pangu Realm, unless Bajie and the others were completely annihilated, even the faintest trace of their souls would be enough for Sun Wukong to find and revive them. Moreover, he wasn't particularly worried about Bajie. Although Chang'er was influenced by the Heavenly Dao, she still retained some memory of Bajie; otherwise, she wouldn't have let him go in the first place. As long as Bajie didn't commit suicide, he would be unharmed.
Thinking of the Pangu Realm, Sun Wukong's emotions suddenly surged. However, now was not the time for sentimentality, because he still had to find his teacher and ask him to help Ye Zi revive his brother. When Sun Wukong brought Ye Zi to Master Zun's tent and explained their purpose, Master Zun began to carefully observe Ye Zi. His profound gaze made Ye Zi feel uneasy.
"Old, Old Immortal, can my brother be revived?"
Due to extreme nervousness, Ye Zi temporarily didn't know how to address Master Zun. Calling him "Senior" felt too distant, and following Sun Wukong in calling him "Master" seemed inappropriate. In his anxiety, he ended up addressing him as "Old Immortal." As soon as Ye Zi spoke, Master Zun suddenly burst into hearty laughter, looking at Ye Zi with a kind gaze and said, "You are Ye Zi, right? The ancient divine tree, twin-born seven-colored Feng Huang paulownia. If I'm not mistaken, you must be the last of your kind in this world now. Your brother was born to accompany you; as long as one of you is not dead, the other won't completely perish. And your brother's soul—you've preserved it, haven't you?"
Ye Zi nodded vigorously, his attitude extremely reverent. He hurriedly fished something out from his chest, bent over, and presented it to Master Zun with even greater reverence. Master Zun chuckled softly, took the pearl, and said, "Hmm, using the Life-bound Primordial Pearl to preserve your brother's soul, this will make things much easier. Ah, it seems I'm destined to lose wealth today. After this, not even a bit of the life spirit soil will be saved. Well, for the sake of my disciple, Lao can only bear the pain and part with it!"
With that said, Master Zun pointed his left hand toward the ground, and immediately a half-meter-deep circular pit appeared on the spot. He then threw the pearl into it and flicked his finger, sending a beam of black light from his fingertips. Soon, the pit was filled with a black soil. After all this was done, Master Zun looked pained as he said to Sun Wukong, "Use your balanced Five Elements Spiritual Power to irrigate this soil with one Attribute's Spiritual Power every Chinese hour. After five hours, use the combined power of the Five Elements to irrigate for another hour, and then it will be done. I'm going out for a walk; I'll be back after dawn!"
Having finished, Master Zun strode out of the tent without a backward glance. Ye Zi, looking somewhat stunned, watched Master Zun leave the tent, then turned to Sun Wukong and said, "Great Saint, what's happening with the Old Immortal? Did I say something wrong?" Sun Wukong, however, just smiled and said, "No problem, Master is just pained by giving up his treasure. It seems that this black soil is no ordinary thing; otherwise, Master wouldn't have left—he said he was afraid that if he looked any longer, he wouldn't be able to resist taking back the black soil."
"That's a relief, that's a relief. But, that's it? It's that simple? Why does reviving my brother feel like planting a tree?" "Heh heh, your brother is originally a tree. What's wrong with planting a tree? I'm just planting a seed to finally harvest the fruit, and his name will be Ye Wu, haha!"
"As long as I can bring my brother back to life, from now on, Dao Zhun will be my own grandfather!"
However, having left the tent, Dao Zhun suddenly stumbled, looking around in confusion, and muttered under his breath: "Getting old, can't even walk steadily, sigh!"
Although Wukong was joking around with Ye Zi, his hands were busy. After checking the time, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, with his hands pointing toward the black soil, he started infusing it with the spiritual power of the water element. Although Dao Zhun hadn't specified the order of the Five Elements power, Wukong knew he definitely had to start with the water system spiritual power. Ye Zi watched Wukong nervously, but an hour later, when Wukong switched to the wood attribute spiritual power, Ye Zi finally couldn't help himself. Enjoy exclusive content from Freewebnovel
Originally, he thought resurrecting Ye Wu would be an incredibly complicated and difficult task, but it turned out to be so simple. When Wukong switched to the wood attribute spiritual power, a green sprout popped out from within the black soil and started growing slowly. This was indeed planting a tree! By now, Ye Zi had already relaxed, realizing that if it wasn't anything dangerous or difficult, there was no need for him to keep his heart tense all the time.
Just as Ye Zi was getting a bit bored, Wukong suddenly spoke up: "Ye Zi, when Tongbei and I went to find you, during your fight with Tongbei, you summoned a Fire Phoenix that was a kilometer long, right?" Ye Zi, already bored, perked up immediately at Wukong's question and said, "Yes, that's my unique innate ability, to summon a phoenix. However, for some reason, what I summoned wasn't a real phoenix but the soul of a Fire Phoenix. Although it was just a soul and also incomplete, the power it could exert was still very strong!"
"The soul of that phoenix was indeed very powerful, but I actually know where that Phoenix Soul came from." "Huh? How did you know that?" "Because I have a brother named Flame God, and he is of the same clan as the Phoenix Soul you summoned, from the Burst Phoenix Clan. So I was thinking, after your brother is resurrected, could you summon that Phoenix Soul again and let Flame God feel it for a while? Maybe he could gain something from that soul!"

"Sure, no problem. The old Immortal is my brother's benefactor, which makes him my benefactor, and you are the disciple of my benefactor, so you are also my benefactor. I will certainly follow the requests of a benefactor!"
"Enough with the formalities, I'm not ignorant of your true colors. By the way, Ye Zi, after the trial ends, I'll take you away from here. Have you thought about what you'll do afterward?"
Ye Zi was startled; he really hadn't thought about what to do in the future. Previously, he was singularly focused on increasing his strength, later, due to his rapid increase in strength, he was punished by the Nine Heavens Pure Thunder, and his brother died because of it, so afterward, his single goal was to resurrect his brother.
But what about after Ye Wu is resurrected and they leave the Patrolling Celestial World?
"If you don't have any better place to go, why not come back to the Pangu Realm with me? In the Pangu Realm, I have a Flower Fruit Mountain, which is a lot of fun!" (To be continued.
