Chapter 629: Chapter 630: Breaking Formation with Formation (4th Update!) Chapter 629: Chapter 630: Breaking Formation with Formation (4th Update!) Ran Deng Buddha taunted Zi Xia Fairy for a while and, perhaps growing bored, turned and left the Sukhavati Realm.
Once he sensed the surroundings grow calm again, Sun Wukong leapt from the big tree where he had been perching and landed beside the Heart-Locking Pond.
“Zi Xia!”
“Wukong? You, how did you get here?”
Startled, Zi Xia Fairy looked up to see Sun Wukong standing by the Heart-Locking Pond. Joy flashed across her face, which suddenly turned to panic, “You must leave! Get out of here quickly! It’s a trap!”
No sooner had Zi Xia Fairy’s words fallen than the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around them started to transform. A beam of light materialized out of nowhere and hurtled towards Sun Wukong.
“A Formation attack, huh? I’ve already seen through it!”
Far from being alarmed, Sun Wukong’s lips curled into a sly grin. Holding the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod at an angle, he deflected the light’s assault. The beam rebounded off the Rod back into the air, colliding with another oncoming beam of light, effectively canceling each other out.
“Uh…”
Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy were both stunned as they watched Sun Wukong, wielding his Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, deflect and parry as if he had long predicted the directions of the attacks. He neutralized all the beams of light, some of which rebounded towards Zi Xia and Qing Xia, hitting the water chains locking them down right before their astonished eyes.
Continuous beams shot by Wukong’s Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod struck repeatedly at the same spot on the water chain. The water chain and the beams, being of the same origin and generated by the same Formation, were intended by Ran Deng Buddha to ensure that Sun Wukong would be powerless to break the seal on Zi Xia and Qing Xia Fairy. If he tried to forcefully break the Formation, the same destructive force would be transmitted through the water chain to the fairies themselves.
In other words, in Ran Deng Buddha’s original plan, Sun Wukong would only be able to withstand the Formation’s beam attacks, unable to break the Formation or rescue anyone. But he didn’t expect that Sun Wukong had already observed in secret and thought up a solution.
Can’t forcefully break the Formation, huh? Well, then don’t break it!
Use the Formation to defeat the Formation, leverage force against force; using the beams emitted by the Formation to break the seal on the water chains binding Zi Xia and Qing Xia Fairy—that was Sun Wukong’s plan, and that’s exactly what he did, something not even Ran Deng Buddha, the one who designed the Formation, had anticipated!
The forces, being of the same origin, would cancel each other out upon collision, and swiftly, in the span of just two or three breaths, the chains locking Zi Xia Fairy shattered.
“Zi Xia, follow me!”
Sun Wukong grabbed Zi Xia Fairy’s wrist, pulling her out of the Heart-Locking Pond and into his arms.
“Wukong, my sister! Save my sister; I can’t leave her here alone!” Searᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Zi Xia Fairy cried out, looking towards Qing Xia Fairy, “Wukong, we sisters are twins; taking only me is useless!”
“Damn it!”
Grinding his teeth, Sun Wukong knew what Zi Xia Fairy meant—she just wanted him to save her sister Qing Xia as well, mentioning they were twins was just to make it harder for him to refuse.
“Don’t worry, I, Old Sun, have already promised you that I will definitely bring both you and your sister back to the Flower-Fruit Mountain!”
Taking a deep breath, Sun Wukong’s hand moved the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod, deflecting the formation’s beam attacks off course where they canceled each other out, while continuing to aim the beams at the water chains that were binding Qing Xia Fairy.
In no time at all, the water chains sealing Qing Xia Fairy were broken, and Sun Wukong sucked her in front of him, immediately shrinking her and holding her in the palm of his hand.
“Wukong, what are you…”
Zi Xia Fairy was startled, not understanding what Sun Wukong was intending to do. Sun Wukong spoke indifferently, “Old Sun doesn’t have extra hands to hold her, so she’ll have to be inconvenienced for a while, and stay inside the Qiankun Bag!”
As he spoke, his heart moved, and from the imitation Qiankun Bag at his waist, a suction force emerged, pulling in the cursing Qing Xia Fairy, while Sun Wukong transmitted a Divine Sense into the imitation Qiankun Bag, “Dragon Cat, Dragon Scorpion, this is Zi Xia’s sister. Help Old Sun take good care of her and keep an eye on her. Don’t let her cause trouble!”
“Boss, rest assured, we’ve got this!”
The response from Dragon Cat came out of the imitation Qiankun Bag. As soon as Dragon Cat heard Sun Wukong’s words, he understood what was asked of him: simply to guard Qing Xia Fairy, an easy task!
Sun Wukong nodded secretly to himself, knowing that Qing Xia Fairy had never really taken a liking to him; he couldn’t let her interfere with his plans, so this arrangement was undoubtedly the best!
While continuing to fend off the beam attacks, Sun Wukong retreated outside, holding Zi Xia Fairy in his arms. From beginning to end, he never intended to break the formation, because if it were broken, it would surely alert Ran Deng Buddha.
Sun Wukong wasn’t afraid of Ran Deng Buddha. For the sole reason that he had lashed Zi Xia Fairy with those whips, Ran Deng had already made it onto Sun Wukong’s hit list, not to mention the old grudges. Sun Wukong would never let Ran Deng Buddha off the hook, but now was not the time.
“Zi Xia, where is the lamp wick of you and your sister’s original body?”
Sun Wukong, with Zi Xia Fairy in tow, retreated to the middle of the hill slope. There was no formation here, so they could stop temporarily.
Sun Wukong remembered very clearly that Zi Xia Fairy could not stay away from her original lamp wick for too long; otherwise, her Soul’s True Spirit would be damaged. The reason she couldn’t wait for him to return to Flower-Fruit Mountain and had to rush back to Spiritual Mountain by herself was precisely this. Therefore, simply taking away Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy was useless; he had to find the lamp wick as well!
This was the Sukhavati Realm, separated from the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain by barriers of two realms. If the lamp wick had been outside, Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy would have already suffered damage due to being too far from their originals, but Sun Wukong saw no major injuries on Zi Xia Fairy’s body, other than previous whip marks. This meant the conjoined lamp wicks must be inside the Sukhavati Realm!
“The lamp wick is in the hands of Ran Deng Buddha, and he’s put it inside the Sarcophagus Lamp. It’s too difficult to take the Sarcophagus Lamp from Ran Deng Buddha, Wukong, you should just go. Don’t worry about me anymore. I’m already very happy that I could see you one more time!”
As soon as Sun Wukong mentioned the original body lamp wick, Zi Xia Fairy’s face changed, and her thoughts of escape disappeared. Even if she escaped now, she would have to come back sooner or later, so what was the use?
This was the Sukhavati Realm. If Sun Wukong took them, the sisters, he could not possibly escape the investigation of Tathagata Buddha and Ran Deng Buddha. The risk was too great!
“What nonsense are you talking about! I, Old Sun, have said that I will get your original lamp wick, and I will not go back on my word!”
Sun Wukong frowned, “Let’s leave Spiritual Mountain first. I, Old Sun, will think of another way for the lamp wick!”
