Chapter 107: Brothers Reunite

  After several days, Lei Hao, Niu Mo Wang and Jiao Mo Wang, the three brothers, were discussing the details of attacking Heaven to rescue Sun Wukong in the grand hall of Moyun Cave. Suddenly, a loud and powerful roar came from outside the cave, which made all the little demons in the mountains tremble with fear, their legs weakening as they knelt down on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.

  The Bull Demon King knew at once who had come, and looking out of the cave with a smile all over his face, he said: "It's Old Lion who has come. This fellow comes to my Mount of Accumulated Thunder every time and roars loudly, frightening the Holy Infant to tears. Let us see how he will explain himself to his sister-in-law!"

  Lei Hao also laughed and said: "Fourth brother is usually drowsy, but this one shout is the most spirited."

  The three brothers stood up with a smile and walked out of Moyun Cave shoulder to shoulder, heading towards the Lion Camel King.

  From a distance, Lei Hao saw a figure wearing a thick black cloak with strange and flickering light, disheveled blood-red hair fluttering in the wind, walking towards Mo Yun Cave with a majestic stride.

  The tyrannical lion demon, was actually the Lion Camel King. And beside him stood another handsome young man with a smile on his face, yet made people's hair stand on end. If not Pengmo Wang, then who else could he be?

  "Niú Mó Wáng said from a distance: 'Old Three, Old Four, you two are indeed inseparable. Coming to my Accumulated Thunder Mountain, you still travel together in pairs. Are you afraid that those bandits from the Western Cow Herder State won't be able to rob you?'"

  All the brothers burst out laughing, while Pengmo Wang smiled wryly and said: "This guy insisted on pulling me along with him on the same road, hastily, so I didn't even have time to bring one of my concubines from the cave. The whole way was spent facing this coarse and unrefined lion, it's really boring."

  The Lion Camel King burst out laughing and said: "I'm afraid you'll die under the belly of those beautiful concubines, that's why I dragged you here, you should thank me!"

  The five brothers walked into the Moyun Cave with a big laugh, and after sitting down, Lei Hao briefly explained the purpose of inviting Lion Camel King and Pengmo King to come this time. After finishing speaking, Lei Hao stood up, saluted Lion Camel King and Pengmo King with a fist, and said: "This matter was caused by my younger brother and Eighth Brother, but it has troubled Elder Brother and Second Brother to take the trouble, and also made Third Brother and Fourth Brother travel thousands of miles to come and help. I really feel guilty in my heart, if there is anything that needs me in the future, please don't be polite with me, brothers."

  The Lion Camel King took a step forward, and with a loud slap on Lei Hao's shoulder, he made Lei Hao's tiger body tremble. Then, opening his mouth with a deep rumbling sound, he said: "Old Seven, if you say so, it means you look down on me and your third brother. We are brothers, and when we first took the oath, we said that we would share good fortune and bad together. Now that Old Eight is in trouble, even if you don't ask for our help, we will still find a way to rescue him. You can just let go of your worries, as an older brother, I will definitely support you to the end."

  Jiaomo Wang said on the side, "Old Seventh, since all your brothers have arrived, you can put your heart at ease. With our strength, we can make a big fuss even in Ling Mountain, let alone that golden-edged Heavenly Court."

  Peng Mo Wang turned his head and looked around, saying: "Why haven't Old Five and Old Six arrived yet?"

  "Need you ask? Those two monkeys must have met halfway and couldn't resist the urge to fight."

  The voice had barely fallen when a slightly dissatisfied voice arose in Moyun Cave.

  "What are you saying behind our backs, you old cow?" Just as the words were spoken, two flashes of black and red magical light appeared in the great hall, leaving a halo that dissipated to reveal the figures of the Monkey King and the White Bone Demon.

  The Bull Demon King pointed at the two monkeys with their clothes in disarray and said angrily, "You two dare to say you didn't fight on the way?"

  The monkey king said with a nonchalant expression: "I was just fighting with the demon on the road, what's the big deal? Did I ever delay Old Seventh's important matter?"

  After finishing, the Huli King stretched out his claws and patted Leihao's shoulder: "Old Seventh, it has been a long time since we last met. Just a few days ago, I heard that those three shameless bald donkeys from Ling Shan injured someone at Huaguo Mountain. I was just about to set off for Huaguo Mountain when the little demon from Moyun Cave arrived. How is it? Those three bald donkeys didn't hurt you, did they? If not for Fifth Brother going to kill a few thousand bald donkeys to help you vent your anger first?"

  Lei Hao hastily said: "Thank you, Fifth Brother, for your concern. I'm not seriously injured, but Lao Ba was captured by Guanyin. Now that all the brothers are here, Big Brother, it's up to you to arrange what to do next." Lei Hao then turned to Niu Mo Wang and said another sentence.

  The Ox King looked around and then stood up steadily, saying: "In that case, I'll be the host for once..."

  At this time, Sun Wukong had already been tempered by Taishang Laojun in the Eight Trigrams Furnace for several days.

  They say that one day in heaven is equal to one year on earth, but in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Supreme Elder Lord, it's just the opposite. Because cultivating a furnace of Golden Elixir takes too long, even immortals who are oblivious to the passage of time don't want to spend endless time refining elixirs. Therefore, in all three realms, any capable cultivator will carve a time-dilating formation on their elixir furnace.

  The Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Supreme Lord Lao, however, is not engraved with an array that slows down time, but rather fills this strange world's energy, making the flow rate of time in the Eight Trigrams Furnace equal to that on earth. In this way, one day in heaven equals one year inside the furnace.

  When Sun Wukong came to, he found himself inside this hard ancient furnace that not even his golden-hooped rod could leave a mark on.

  Even with his usual fearless nature, he felt a little intimidated at this moment.

  "Let me out, I am the Great Sage of Flower Fruit Mountain Sun Wukong. If you don't let me out quickly and bring my brother Wan Jing Dashi here, I will definitely knock over this broken Dan furnace and kill your whole family." Sun Wukong shouted loudly with his throat torn apart.

  "The Monkey King has not yet refined, use a bit more force to fan the fire." In the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Sun Wukong vaguely heard a voice that was slightly childish but also somewhat old and arrogant, this voice seemed familiar.

  After a few breaths, Sun Wukong felt the temperature in the stove getting higher and higher. Even though he was still holding onto the fire-avoiding technique, it seemed like he couldn't hold on for much longer. In just an instant, his lotus silk cloud shoes had signs of melting.

  Sun Wukong was shocked in his heart, took out the golden hoop rod and jumped up, heavily swung a rod to smash the top cover of the stove on his head.

  Sun Wukong only felt a surge of tremendous force transmitted from the Golden Cudgel in his hand, and the massive backlash sent him tumbling back into the sea of flames. Afterwards, all that could be heard was a 'thud' as the alchemical furnace shook violently under his empty blows, yet without leaving even the slightest crack.

  Helpless Sun Wukong could only use his magical power to transform into a previous form and pinched the Huo Fire Seal to hold on.

  After a few breaths, the lotus silk cloud shoes under his feet melted away, then the phoenix wing purple gold crown on his head vaporized, and finally even the golden lock armor on his body disappeared.

  Sun Wukong felt a scorching energy pouring into his body from all sides, as if his five organs and six entrails had been taken out and were being sautéed on an iron plate with fragrant oil, and he seemed to see droplets of oil oozing out of his body nonstop.

  At this time, Sun Wukong's body was indeed like a burning fire, and the three flavors of true fire essence raised the temperature inside his body to an extremely terrifying yet clever degree that would not cause his flesh to collapse. It was as if he had created an oven inside his body, and the bread in this oven was the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir that Sun Wukong had eaten but not fully digested and absorbed at the beginning, as well as the energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years when he was still a spiritual stone.

  The terrifying high temperature mobilized the two energies, slowly combining them together, gradually merging into one, and continuously enhancing his physical strength and internal Qi. Even the stagnant 80% Golden Origin was slowly increasing.

  If there was a mirror in front of Sun Wukong at this time, he would definitely be frightened by his own reflection. His previous self looked no different from an ordinary monkey, but the one in the mirror now had skin that shone brightly, with all his fur radiating golden light. His eyes gleamed with golden light, and some ancient, mysterious symbols flowed within them. A terrifying aura was slowly gathering around him, forming a giant golden ape tens of meters high behind him, its fists clenched and roaring towards the sky.

  Sun Wukong was like a pure gold cast statue at this time.

  Only Sun Wukong didn't know that at this time, he only knew how to use the method of avoiding fire by mobilizing all his strength throughout his body. Only in this way could he feel that the burning sensation inside his body would be a little lighter, but every time after a few breaths, the burning sensation would become strong again. He had no choice but to exert himself even more to mobilize every bit of his inner strength to avoid the fire.

  Time seemed incredibly long at this moment, he felt every breath was as long as a year.

  "Niu Tou, where are you now? Have you fallen into Guanyin's trap?" Sun Wukong thought of Lei Hao in his heart-wrenching pain. When he was captured by the Sheep Fat Jade Bottle, Lei Hao was still fighting against Puxian, and he didn't know if Lei Hao had escaped or not.

  After thinking of Lei Hao, Sun Wukong's heart began to rise with regret. He regretted not listening to Lei Hao in the first place. If he had listened to him and didn't go to Heaven Palace, he wouldn't have been plotted against, wouldn't have gone to Laojun's Jade Pond, wouldn't have eaten Laojun's Golden Elixir, and wouldn't have been beaten by tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits.

  If he hadn't gone to the Heavenly Palace, perhaps at this moment he would still be in the cave of Kan Yuan Mountain, leisurely drinking with Lei Hao, and playing with the little fox and big cow, rather than suffering from this bone-piercing torture in this ghostly place.

  "Heavenly Court! Jade Emperor! Spirit Mountain! Guanyin! Samantabhadra! Manjusri!" Suddenly, Sun Wukong's eyes snapped open, shooting out two golden beams of light as he gnashed his teeth and let out a furious roar, the resentment in his voice enough to wash away all the waters of the Three Rivers and Four Seas.
