Chapter 630: Chapter 631 Bone-Eroding Worm (First Update!) Chapter 630: Chapter 631 Bone-Eroding Worm (First Update!) Originally, I thought that the lamp wick was within the Sukhavati Realm, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be inside Ran Deng Buddha’s Sarcophagus Lamp. Staying any longer in the Sukhavati Realm wouldn’t be of much use, and might only increase the risk. For safety, it’s best to leave first.
“Zi Xia, you should also take shelter inside the Qiankun Bag for a while, it’s safer that way.”
Although the Qiankun Bag at Sun Wukong’s waist was a replica, the materials used to make it were not inferior, but the strength of the one who refined it was limited, which was why it did not compare with the authentic Qiankun Bag in Maitreya’s possession. However, having been nurtured by Sun Wukong for many years, the grade of this Qiankun Bag had already improved. Although it was merely used for storage, its true power was probably no less than that of Maitreya’s Ruyi Qiankun Bag.
Inside it, external forces could scarcely affect those within. The Dragon Cat had been following Sun Wukong inside the Qiankun Bag for quite some time without any issues, so hiding Zi Xia Fairy inside it seemed like the safest option to Sun Wukong, because what might lie ahead could be a fierce battle!
“Wukong, be careful yourself!”
Zi Xia Fairy did not oppose Sun Wukong’s suggestion and, after entrusting Wukong with a word of caution, let him tuck her into the Qiankun Bag. Of course, Sun Wukong still instructed the Dragon Cat and the Dragon Scorpion to take good care of Zi Xia Fairy, meaning there was no room for oversight this time.
Within the spatial confines of the Qiankun Bag, seeing Zi Xia Fairy being brought inside, Qing Xia Fairy finally found an outlet for her pent-up grievances and started to complain to Zi Xia Fairy, repeating the same old accusations about how Zi Xia Fairy had been blinded by Sun Wukong and was taking his side in everything, even to the point of ignoring her own sister. To this, Zi Xia Fairy only responded with a smile and did not retort, which really annoyed the Dragon Cat and Dragon Scorpion who were watching.
If not for respecting Zi Xia Fairy, they would have taught Qing Xia Fairy a harsh lesson right then and there!
Sun Wukong did not concern himself with Qing Xia Fairy’s complaints in front of Zi Xia Fairy, and after securing Zi Xia inside the Qiankun Bag, he soared up and flew toward the entrance of the Sukhavati Realm.
Ran Deng Buddha had already left the Sukhavati Realm, and he had not destroyed the Barrier Formation he left behind, so it seems likely that he had not noticed anything yet. Taking advantage of this before Ran Deng Buddha could discover the situation, Wukong decided to see if he could acquire the lantern wick from the Sarcophagus Lamp in Ran Deng Buddha’s possession.
Once he had the lantern wick, there would be no more concerns, even if it meant having to engage in another battle with Ran Deng Buddha or Tathagata Buddha!
As soon as Sun Wukong reached the exit node of the Sukhavati Realm, he was just about to activate his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes to open the node when it started to expand of its own accord.
Someone was coming!
Sun Wukong quickly dodged to the side and concealed his form using a spell. Sёarᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Through the spatial passage, a bald figure walked in, none other than Ran Deng Buddha himself.
“Could it be that he actually noticed?”
With a start, Sun Wukong’s gaze followed behind Ran Deng Buddha and saw that Tathagata Buddha did not follow through, which he found odd. If his act of rescuing Qing Xia Fairy and Zi Xia Fairy within the Sukhavati Realm had been detected, Tathagata Buddha would not just stand by.
Wait and see, what exactly is this bald donkey here for?
Shrinking down to a tiny insect, Sun Wukong stealthily followed behind Ran Deng Buddha and saw him ascending toward the direction of the Heart-Locking Pond, but his face did not show any signs of urgency, not as one would expect if he had discovered someone being rescued.
“This wretched Zi Xia, her mouth is quite tight, this time I want to see if she can withstand the gnawing of the Bone-Eroding Worm!”
A mutter arose from Ran Deng Buddha’s mouth, Sun Wukong heard it clearly from behind and couldn’t help but become furiously enraged, an icy murderous intent involuntarily seeped out; the Bone-Eroding Worm, that was an extremely venomous insect that currently existed in the Three Realms, specializing in sucking marrow from bones. Once it entered a body, it was very difficult to remove. To think that Ran Deng Buddha would use the Bone-Eroding Worm to torment Zi Xia Fairy was simply unforgivable!
“Eh?”
Ran Deng Buddha sensed the murderous intent rising behind him and abruptly turned his head, but Sun Wukong had already retracted the murderous intent and had silently landed on Ran Deng Buddha’s back.
“Strange, I was sure I felt murderous intent just now, could it have been an illusion?”
Ran Deng Buddha looked around with some confusion, finding nothing, he was full of perplexity. He trusted that he hadn’t been mistaken just now; there definitely had been a fleeting icy murderous intent, but now he could sense nothing.
“Demon Monkey, I know it’s you, come out, no need to hide anymore!”
Pretending as if he had discerned the situation, Ran Deng Buddha spoke with a stern face, and when there was still no response, he raised his voice and shouted, “If you don’t come out now, don’t blame me for being ruthless towards that girl Zi Xia!”
“So this bald donkey is just pretending to be grand!”
On Ran Deng Buddha’s cloak, the small insect that Sun Wukong had transformed into silently stuck to the hem, hearing Ran Deng Buddha’s words clearly and sneering internally. It seemed that Ran Deng Buddha truly didn’t know that he had already rescued Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy.
This bald donkey returning this time was to bring the Bone-Eroding Worm to continue tormenting Zi Xia Fairy!
“Let him be arrogant for a little while longer; once I get the lamp wick, I’ll see how I’ll deal with him!”
Seeing that there was still no movement around, Ran Deng Buddha shook his head, “Could it have really been an illusion?”
To be safe, Ran Deng Buddha took out the Sarcophagus Lamp, its light shimmering, spreading a protective shield that enveloped him within. This way, even if someone were to attack suddenly, they would be blocked by the light of the Sarcophagus Lamp’s shield.
What Ran Deng Buddha thought was an impeccable move, in Sun Wukong’s eyes, fit perfectly with his plan. He was worried about how he was going to snatch the lamp wick from Ran Deng Buddha’s hands, but Ran Deng Buddha had actively taken out the Sarcophagus Lamp, which was precisely what he needed!
A golden gleam flashed in Sun Wukong’s eyes as he quietly activated his Void-Breaking Starry Eyes to peer into the Sarcophagus Lamp.
The Sarcophagus Lamp had its original wick, but now there were two more, and these two were conjoined, positioned next to the Sarcophagus Lamp’s original wick without touching the netherworldly ghost fire.
Sun Wukong quietly breathed a sigh of relief; the Sarcophagus Lamp was a spiritual lamp that nurtured netherworldly ghost fire, and its wick could withstand the scorching flames. The conjoined wicks of Zi Xia Fairy and Qing Xia Fairy’s true forms might not withstand it, so it’s fortunate that Ran Deng Buddha had only stored the conjoined wick inside. Otherwise, the two ladies would have already suffered.
“I need to find an opportunity to take out the wick, and it must be quick. If I miss with the first strike, it will be difficult to retrieve it later!”
