Sun Kong's five hundred years of secluded cultivation were not in vain.
Although his cultivation had not broken through, his abilities in all aspects had improved considerably.
Even without employing the "Seven Star Formation of Marquis Wu."
He could still sense certain dangers through the instincts of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Indeed, just as Wu Zhiqi was preparing to activate Jin Chanzi's past life memories, and Sun Kong was planning to cooperate with Tathagata to conjure the Five Elements Mountain to "suppress" him.
His heart suddenly trembled.
As if sensing something incredibly ominous was about to happen!
"Kong Kong, why are you so tense? Didn't you send your second and third brothers out on separate missions? There shouldn't be any major problems."
"Why don't we quickly find a place, let me conjure the Five Elements Mountain for you, and slowly wait for Jin Chanzi to find you later."
On the other side, Tathagata had no such premonition, taking Sun Kong's unease as oversensitivity. He smiled faintly, his five fingers already gathering spiritual power to assist him.
After all, in his opinion, Sun Kong could handle even his adopted father, let alone a mere second tribulation.
However.
Sun Kong was a cautious person. In previous years, he was the one who provoked and shocked others. Today, it was others' turn to potentially provoke and shock him.
He dared not be careless.
"Little Lai Lai, don't rush me. Jin Chanzi hasn't even grown up, it makes no difference whether there's the Five Elements Mountain or not. You watch for me, I'm going back."
"I won't be at ease until I figure out where this danger might come from."
Having said that.
Sun Kong politely declined Tathagata's cooperation and accelerated back to the summit of New Huaguo Mountain. He quickly deployed the "Seven Star Formation of Marquis Wu." After a powerful calculation,
He indeed deduced some significant threats.
Moreover, this time the threats were far more numerous, greater, and fiercer than what he had previously instructed Wu Zhiqi about!
The "Seven Star Formation of Marquis Wu" displayed multiple lights, each pointing to a specific target involved in the second tribulation.
Among them.
The golden and brightest one was Jin Chanzi. He was currently intact. Once stimulated by the Holy Water Soup and his initial consciousness recovered, the Journey to the West would be much easier.
Also golden, but slightly less bright, was his second brother, Wu Zhiqi, who was currently infusing a drop of the Holy Water Soup into Jin Chanzi's nape.
There was also a red point of light, representing none other than Guang Chengzi, the leader of the Eight Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, whom Sun Kong himself had promised five hundred years ago.
At this moment, Guang Chengzi was not directly participating in the second tribulation. Instead, according to Sun Kong's deduction, he was lurking in Chang'an, the capital city of the Great Tang Empire, quietly waiting for his opportunity.
Therefore, Sun Kong's previous unease had nothing to do with him.
It was related to other points of light!
"The third golden light point, I assume, is the Southern Star Lord sent by Guanyin. Although the Heavenly Court is at odds with me, they wouldn't disdain meager merits at this juncture."
"This blood-red light point actually appeared on this household servant? Could it be that this boy has also been replaced and is a subordinate of the demon race?"
"Also, Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao both have purple light points. It seems they are reincarnations of Feng'er and Huang'er, disciples of my maternal grandmother, Empress Nuwa!"
"Eh? Strange, this Madam Zhang is black and white. Could she be from Laozi's lineage?"
"What about Liu Hong?"
"Oh, there he is. As expected, it's green. He must be Zhenyuanzi's person, hence the color."
"What about that Dragon King? Hmm, still below the Rose River. He has a yellow light point, likely a confidant of that second brother of the Jade Emperor."
"This time it's much better than before. Besides my second brother, there are also Jin Chanzi from Spirit Mountain, the Chan Sect, my mother, the Demon Race, Laozi, Zhenyuanzi, and the Heavenly Court – a total of seven forces."
"It's truly quite lively."
"However, I can't let my second brother fight an unprepared battle. Although I can't directly interfere with the second tribulation, I can give him some hints."
With this thought, Sun Kong didn't hesitate. He plucked a monkey hair, blew on it, and created a Golden Immortal clone.
To let Wu Zhiqi know about the situation quickly, he even gave him the Chaos Somersault Cloud.
The monkey hair clone, riding the Chaos Somersault Cloud, moved at astonishing speed. In less than fifteen minutes, it arrived at Luoyang City in the Great Tang Empire, in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
It immediately found Wu Zhiqi, who was in the process of activating Jin Chanzi's past life memories!
...
Inside this inn.
Various factions were plotting with their own agendas. Only Wu Zhiqi, unaware, thought he had arrived covertly. Little did he know that as the monkey hair clone conveyed Sun Kong's words.
Wu Zhiqi was stunned on the spot!
"You are Brother Sun's monkey hair clone?"
"You mean, this Luoyang City and its surroundings are already being monitored? Good heavens, Brother Sun is indeed powerful, he figured this out."
"Alright, tell Brother Sun that I will proceed with caution and dare not be careless."
With Wu Zhiqi's assurance, the monkey hair clone did not linger and returned to Sun Kong.
After it left.
Wu Zhiqi, who remained, became much more cautious than before.
He allocated seventy percent of his attention to monitoring the demon household servant outside the door, who, despite clearly knowing he was here, deliberately refused to enter, and others.
He then used the remaining thirty percent of his attention to use his spiritual power to activate that drop of Holy Water Soup, which gradually entered Jin Chanzi's nape.
At first, Jin Chanzi felt a bit uncomfortable.
His infant face showed a hint of pain.
After a few breaths.
As Jin Chanzi's body digested the spiritual power of the Holy Water Soup, and the memories of his past life and initial consciousness in his mind were activated.
He was no longer in pain.
Nor did he resist.
He reopened his eyes. Although he lowered his voice, it was clear he recognized Wu Zhiqi and was communicating with him!
"Many thanks for the help of the Second Great King of New Huaguo Mountain."
"This humble monk, Jin Chanzi, has finally recovered his past life memories and initial consciousness. From now on, I will certainly cooperate fully with Great Sage Sun's Journey to the West plan and dare not slack."
"Please convey to Great Sage Sun that the agreement from that year still stands, and I will be extra careful."
"You should return quickly."
"It would be unfavorable if other factions knew that you and I had conversed."
This Jin Chanzi is indeed formidable!
No wonder he became their master. Just after recovering his memories, he is much more powerful than Wu Zhiqi and can sense the surveillance of multiple factions in advance.
Hearing this, Wu Zhiqi dared not delay and temporarily retreated, acting as an invisible bodyguard, always protecting Jin Chanzi.
Witnessing this scene, the various factions first became tense, then relaxed, and finally, became tense once more!
...
"Eldest Brother is absolutely right. This Jin Chanzi is indeed formidable, but I am here to earn merits. Ensuring his safety in the end will bring me benefits even if my physical body perishes."
The demon child outside the door thought this and did not stop Jin Chanzi and Wu Zhiqi.
However, their thoughts differed from his simple one.
The people from other factions had different views on this!
