This clone of Sun Wukong was not created through Cloning Divine Powers, but was merely one transformed from a strand of monkey hair. After entering the Jade Pond, it scurried about chaotically, causing commotion among the inhabitants of the Jade Pond. Immortals and Gods sent by the Jade Emperor from all directions came flooding in, intending to encircle Sun Wukong’s clone. However, they all ingeniously dodged them.
Although the cultivation of this monkey hair clone reached only the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and its combat power was not particularly strong, besides divine skills, the monkey hair clone could use spells just like Sun Wukong. As long as it did not engage in battle with these immortals and gods, but merely dodged them, these immortals and gods really couldn’t catch the monkey hair clone. It moved throughout the Jade Pond as if it owned the place, darting to the east at one moment and to the west the next, exploring every nook and cranny of the Jade Pond, finally arriving at the Lotus Pond.
“Zi Lan!”
...
Upon seeing Zi Lan Fairy in the pavilion by the Lotus Pond, the monkey hair clone’s eyes immediately lit up, and it excitedly shouted.
“Wukong!”
Zi Lan Fairy also saw Sun Wukong’s monkey hair clone, her face showing an excited and joyful expression, but it soon turned anxious, “Wukong, you must leave quickly! This is a trap! Hurry and get out!”
“A trap?”
The eyes of Sun Wukong’s monkey hair clone flashed with sharp light, deeply gazing at the pavilion where Zi Lan Fairy was, knowing well that there must be some Prohibitions and Restraints traps inside the pavilion, just waiting for him to deliver himself into their hands!
“Zi Lan, your Old Sun will definitely save you, just wait for me!”
Shouting to Zi Lan Fairy, Sun Wukong’s monkey hair clone turned and ran towards the distance as celestial soldiers and generals from the Heavenly Court were already encircling the Lotus Pond.
“Your Majesty, after that Sun Wukong entered the Jade Pond, he rampaged everywhere, later he went to the Lotus Pond near Zi Lan Fairy, but he did not attempt to take Zi Lan Fairy away, and under the pursuit of many Immortals and Gods, he slipped away again!”
The Jade Emperor had just arrived at the Jade Pond when he received the report from the Heavenly General.
“That Demon Monkey is not foolish, it seems he has already sensed the trap in the Lotus Pond.”
The Jade Emperor touched his chin and coldly sneered, “But his whereabouts have been exposed, now there’s no escape to heaven or entry into the earth! Pass down my order, continue the encirclement and pursuit, we must force him into Fallen Immortal Valley!”
The Heavenly General was dispatched with the command while the Jade Emperor, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, Tathagata Buddha, and others also entered the Jade Pond, all of which was clearly observed by Sun Wukong, who was hidden at a distance.
“I knew it wasn’t so simple — Tathagata has also cooperated with that old Jade Emperor! But why would Primordial Heavenly Venerable be mixed up with them as well? Hadn’t Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor strictly ordered that the Heavenly Dao Saints must not interfere with the conflicts in the Three Realms? That old man really has guts, daring even to disobey his master’s command!”
Watching as the figures of the Jade Emperor and others disappeared within the barriers of the Jade Pond, Sun Wukong inwardly sneered coldly. He had known that the Jade Emperor might have made an alliance with Tathagata Buddha — otherwise, they would not have dared to lure him into the Heavenly Court so openly. They must have been confident that they could capture him!
What Sun Wukong had not expected was that even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had intervened, which complicated matters greatly!
Compared to Tathagata Buddha, Sun Wukong knew very little about the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. He knew only that he was one of the Three Purities with profound strength, yet what specific formidable moves the Primordial Heavenly Venerable possessed remained unknown to Sun Wukong!
“No matter, whether the Primordial Heavenly Venerable makes a move or not, I, Old Sun, will rescue Zi Lan!”
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth; he had already made up his mind. This time, he was determined to rescue Fairy Zi Lan, even if it meant causing another uproar in the Heavenly Palace!
Seeing that the Jade Emperor and others had already entered the Jade Pool, he guessed that the timing was about right. Sun Wukong quietly slid down from the tree and dashed towards the Jade Pool.
The Jade Pond Water Pavilion was Queen Mother’s territory, enveloped by a strong barrier with only two entrances accessible through a Dharma Decree. Almost no one dared to intrude on normal days, but today, Sun Wukong had no choice but to do so.
“Void-Breaking Starry Eyes!”
Having activated the Void-Breaking Divine Eye to the fourth phase – the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes level – Sun Wukong emitted two golden beams from his eyes, shining upon the barrier in front of the Jade Pool. Silently, he opened a small hole in the barrier, turned into a wisp of blue smoke, and slipped through it. The hole quickly closed, disappearing without a trace, and no one would have imagined that Sun Wukong had entered the Jade Pool not through the two designated entrances, but in such a manner.
Monkey hair clones were leading a group of immortals and gods in a wild chase, akin to walking a dog. Sun Wukong went straight towards the Lotus Pond and soon arrived at its edge.
Under the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, what looked like an ordinary Lotus Pond was filled with mechanisms and Prohibitions and Restrains shining with different colors of light. Stepping on it would definitely trigger a chain reaction. Sun Wukong alone might be able to barely make it out, but with Fairy Zi Lan, it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens!
“Those immortals and gods are attacking fiercely! No time left, I, Old Sun, need to hurry!”
Sun Wukong sensed that his monkey hair clone was being increasingly cornered by a group of immortals and gods, and the space he had to maneuver was shrinking. It seemed he was heading towards the direction designed by those immortals and gods, likely towards the so-called Fallen Immortal Valley.
Once inside the Fallen Immortal Valley, the Jade Emperor would surely launch a final attack. By then, the monkey hair clone’s identity would be exposed, and Sun Wukong would not have much time left!
With gritted teeth, Sun Wukong fully activated the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes and dashed into the Lotus Pond.
“Wukong! You, how did you…”
Seeing Sun Wukong reappear, Fairy Zi Lan’s eyes widened in surprise. She had clearly seen Sun Wukong being pursued by a group of immortals and gods. How had he returned so quickly? And what was that booming sound in the distance?
“Zi Lan, I, Old Sun, am here to save you!”
Under the Void-Breaking Starry Eyes, all the Prohibitions and Restraints in the Lotus Pond were clearly visible to Sun Wukong. He constantly changed his form and moved forward in a zigzag pattern, without triggering a single restraint. After navigating back and forth, up and down in the Lotus Pond for a long time, he finally entered the pavilion.
“Zi Lan!”
Upon entering the pavilion, Sun Wukong could no longer contain the excitement in his heart, and he embraced the equally excited Fairy Zi Lan. Just as they were about to say something, a circle of white light suddenly burst from Fairy Zi Lan’s body and spread out rapidly in all directions. In an instant, all the Prohibitions and Restraints in the Lotus Pond were triggered, swarming towards the pavilion. In just two breaths, the space outside the pavilion and within the Lotus Pond was completely sealed, leaving no gaps at all!
