Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 746 - 674: Encounter with the Little Monkey Again

After Sun Wukong had left, all that remained was a pile of shattered bones. He felt regretful inside—what had seemed like a good opportunity to inquire about the situation of the Fallen Tomb with this skeleton turned out to be futile, as the imposing skeleton turned out to be exceedingly fragile. However, not long after walking away, Wukong suddenly felt something was amiss. Just after leaving the pile of skeleton's bones, he always had a feeble yet persistent sensation of being watched. This feeling was initially faint, but it quickly became so strong that Wukong could no longer ignore it.

But Wukong did not rashly turn around, for his Divine Sense had been constantly searching, yet it detected no one, which suggested that whatever was watching him might not be human. Slowly readying his steps, Wukong discreetly summoned the World Suppressing Stele, ensuring he could bring it forth instantly to shield himself if needed. Once prepared, Wukong spun around abruptly. To his surprise, he saw no anomaly—just a fleeting glimmer that might have been a trick of the eye. Although he didn't find anything behind him, that unnerving feeling of being watched persisted.

Turning back slowly, Wukong's face was full of confusion. Yet, when Wukong turned back around, he saw a ball of Chaos glow where there had been none before, and after he blinked, it vanished, replaced by a little monkey squatting on the ground. Wukong was stunned; he had never expected to encounter a little monkey here, especially one with eye-catching silver fur. The monkey squatted there obediently, its watery, large eyes fixed on Wukong, shining with curiosity.

Wukong turned again to inspect his surroundings: nothing else seemed out of the ordinary. He then turned his gaze back to the monkey on the ground and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" Upon hearing Wukong's question, the little monkey blinked its large eyes and astonishingly spoke in human language, "I am Spirit. Who are you? Why are you here now? It's not the agreed time. Moreover, you don't bear their mark. Who exactly are you?" Wukong had already heard the phrase about an 'agreed time' once before from the mouth of the enormous skeleton not long ago.

Now intrigued, Wukong squatted down and questioned the silver-furred monkey, "My name is Sun Wukong, I entered accidentally. Little monkey, can I ask you why you said I'm not here at the agreed time? When is this agreed time?" Wukong asked in a tone one might use to humor a child, but after he finished speaking, the silver-haired monkey crossed its arms and arrogantly said, "Why should I tell you? I don't know whether what you're saying is true or false. Everyone who comes here is not a good person; they are all big bad guys."

Wukong was taken aback, not expecting such arrogance from a monkey that, to all appearances, had no cultivation. But Wukong wasn't upset. Having finally found someone to talk to, he wanted to coax out some useful information. Thinking it over, Wukong suddenly produced several Jade Vases and some fruit from his chest. In fact, Wukong did not truly take them out from within his clothing, but rather from within the World Within the Artifact of his Jingu Bang. The Jade Vases contained Supreme Rank Elixirs to enhance Spiritual Power, and one contained an Elixir to strengthen and nurture the soul. He pushed them all towards the monkey and said, "If you tell me, all of these are yours."

As expected, the monkey's proud expression changed instantly—it grabbed the Jade Vases from Wukong's hand, picked and chose among them, and kept one, opening the lid to take a sniff and looking utterly intoxicated. "Do you have more of this? If you bring out three of these, I'll tell you." Wukong smiled inwardly, having realized that this white-haired monkey wasn't a true monkey but an Illusion Transformation of a soul-like energy, which meant this monkey could be treated as a Soul and Essence. The Elixir that nourished souls would surely benefit the Soul Body of the monkey. He took out two more vials of the Elixir and tossed them over, saying, "Now, can you talk?"

True to its word, the monkey unscrewed the lid of one vase and swallowed an Elixir, the look of bliss unmistakable. "There are still about eighty years until the agreed time. Only when the agreed time comes will the gates here open, and people will enter. Otherwise, no one can come in at any other time. It's been a million years, and you are the first." Wukong inquired further, "Who is the person you've made this agreement with? And what are these people seeking when they come in?" Wukong noticed the monkey seemed quite knowledgeable.

The monkey was forthright, not playing any games of one question per Elixir—probably because it didn't know it could do so—and answered candidly, "The one who made the agreement with us is called the Heavenly Patroller. Those who come during the agreed time are all looking for me, no, not right, for the treasures here, but I don't know exactly what they are. Every time they come, they create a huge mess here." By then, the monkey had completely absorbed the Elixir and eagerly swallowed two more. Wukong was somewhat puzzled—the monkey seemed to have slipped up, but he didn't make much of it, as the goals of those people were not too important to him. Taking advantage of the monkey being distracted by the Elixirs, Wukong quickly asked, "What exactly is this place?" Wukong had asked this question after some thought.
