Chapter Thirty-Four: The Ice Demon Tower

  When he saw these ten words, Sun Wukong was struck by lightning. Although there were only a few dozen words, the shock that these ten words gave to Sun Wukong was unparalleled. "Flower and Fruit Mountain blessed land, Water Curtain Cave heavenly world." In this world, no one could be more familiar with these ten words than Sun Wukong. Even Sun Wukong's familiarity with these ten words exceeded his own self-awareness.

  It was Sun Wukong who jumped into the waterfall and discovered the Water Curtain Cave. From then on, the monkey tribe was no longer blown by the wind or drenched by the rain. So the appearance of these ten words here means that this mountain in front is actually the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits? And that waterfall is actually the Water Curtain Cave?

  But how is this possible? Wasn't the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits destroyed by the Tathagata? At that time, the Tathagata thought he had already won, so it was impossible for him to deceive himself. He said he had already destroyed the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, then it must have been destroyed. And afterwards, when I went to the Heavenly Court to get a branch of Osmanthus tree for Pigsy, on my way back, I specifically went to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits to take a look, although I knew that the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits was very likely to no longer exist, but without seeing it with my own eyes, there was still a glimmer of luck in my heart. However, when Sun Wukong returned to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, he found that the original mountain now only had a huge deep pit left. The charred ground surface clearly showed that it had been blasted out by a powerful magical power.

  All of this proves that the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits no longer exists. Sun Wukong, who had already given up hope, suddenly felt a surge of great hope at this moment. If this was really his own Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, then there was a good chance that his monkey son had not died. As long as the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits still existed, he would have an even greater grasp on making a comeback.

  It took a good half an hour before Sun Wukong finally pointed to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits with one hand, but he couldn't ask anything. Sun Wukong didn't dare to ask, fearing that if the answer wasn't what he wanted, whether he could withstand this second blow. This was also why Sun Wukong was unwilling to use his Fiery Eyes and Golden Eyebrows to investigate, in case what they saw was just an illusion, then what should be done?

  But without asking, Sun Wukong couldn't help but ask the doubts that were churning in his heart. So when one hand was raised, he couldn't utter a single word from his mouth.

  The aquatic tribe saw it and just smiled: "Great Sage, this is indeed your Flower Fruit Mountain. It's the real deal, no fake!"

  In an instant, Sun Wukong flashed in front of the water tribe person with a speed that almost broke through time, grasped the water tribe person's arm with force, and said with a trembling yet excited voice: "What did you say? Is this really my Mount Huaguo? Where are my Monkey King descendants? What about all the demons on the mountain? If you dare to deceive me, I'll kill you even if it means giving up the Water System Divine Stone."

  At this moment, Sun Wukong's eyes were red with excitement, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Anyone else would have been even more unbearable than Sun Wukong if they had taken his place. The tribe that was thought to be extinct, the Mount Huaguo that was thought to be flat, and the heart that was thought to be completely dead were all transformed into excitement and hope at this moment, making Sun Wukong almost unable to control his emotions.

  "Great Sage, do not worry, everything is true. Your monkey sons and grandsons are all safe, they just aren't here. But they're all doing well. For the detailed situation, please follow me to come. The elder of our tribe will explain it to you in person. Now, please calm down for a moment, follow me to arrange for my group leader first. Everything will be explained to you clearly."

  Although Sun Wukong was anxious, he also knew that the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits was here and wouldn't run away for nothing. Since the water tribe said their monkey sons were fine, it should be fine. At this stage, they couldn't deceive themselves either. The urgent matter now is to quickly settle the Eight Spirit Flames, otherwise, if delayed, the injury might affect future cultivation.

  Thinking of this, Sun Wukong took a deep breath and calmed down his excited mood. "It's okay, I was too excited. Let's send the Eight Trigrams Flame back first. Things have come to this point, and no matter how anxious I am, it's useless."

  The aquatic tribe nodded slightly and directly backed the Eight Gods Flame, flashing a few times, and circled around half of the Huaguo Mountain. Originally, two people were driving the Eight Gods Flame together, but they had just been too excited and abandoned the Eight Gods Flame, which was somewhat excessive. Shaking his head, Sun Wukong hurried to catch up. This ice castle has been guarded by the aquatic tribe for millions of years, and it is full of powerful and terrifying seals everywhere. Therefore, although Sun Wukong is fearless, he does not want to add unnecessary trouble. So he closely followed the footsteps of the aquatic tribe and headed towards the back of the mountain.

  When Sun Wukong passed by the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, he suddenly felt a bright light in front of him. He took a look and immediately gasped in shock. Because what appeared before his eyes was an enormous ice tower that was almost as tall as the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. The entire ice tower was cone-shaped, with a dark blue color, obviously caused by extreme compression of ice.

  It's worth noting that ordinary ice in the mortal world is either transparent or white, and even the coldest ice is at most a milky white with a hint of blue. This is already considered thousand-year-old ice in the mortal world.

  The ice in the immortal realm is divided into cyan, deep cyan, pale blue, dark blue, and then purple and black. The black ice is the ultimate form of ice, already infinitely close to the limit of cold that this world can tolerate. If the chill is any heavier, it would no longer be something that belongs to this world, and it would automatically ascend to another realm.

  So when Sun Wukong saw that the entire ice tower was actually deep purple, with signs of turning black, he would be shocked. The cold air was so heavy that it was used to build a huge mountain-like Buddhist tower, how terrifying is this water tribe? Or, how terrifying are the ancient demon tribes?

  Take another look at the current state of the demon tribe, any demon king with a bit of cultivation is either dead or injured. Those who are still alive have mostly become mounts for the Buddhist sect. The entire demon world has been reduced to just two or three little cats. In fact, at this point, the demon tribe can be considered completely annihilated. Sun Wukong is almost the only demon king who remains free. So, it's easy to imagine how heavy the burden on his shoulders is.

  To restore the ancient glory of the demon tribe is a difficult task. However, no matter how difficult it is, Sun Wukong will not retreat. This is his mission and also a kind of responsibility.

  With me Sun Wukong here, the demon tribe will not be exterminated!

  In an instant, a weak yet firm aura inadvertently flowed out, and the water tribe people on the side were stunned, looking at Sun Wukong's eyes with a hint of something more.

  Then, the aquatic tribe made a please gesture and walked towards the main gate of the Ice Tower. Before long, the three of them arrived at the main gate of the giant tower. On the huge gate, a couplet was written:

  The upper couplet is: The dark blue water is profound between heaven and earth. The lower couplet is: The flames of the lantern are burning fiercely, a fantasy of three thousand. When Sun Wukong looked up at the horizontal inscription, he found that where the horizontal inscription should be was empty, with only a few large characters written above: Ice Demon Tower Cold Warm Palace.

  That aquatic tribe saw Sun Wukong's confusion, turned his head to Sun Wukong and said: "This couplet was written by a saint of our aquatic tribe after we hid here, but he didn't write the horizontal inscription. He said: When the demon tribe rises, that day will appear horizontal inscription. After that, this saint sat down and became a Buddha."

  "Then how did the saint suddenly pass away?" Sun Wukong asked. "A saint should have already lived as long as heaven and earth, shouldn't he?"

  Because the saint was fatally wounded in the previous war, knowing that his life was not long, he used the remaining years of his life to occupy a hanging, and the result showed the divination was this couplet.

  Before the saint could even explain, there was no chance. After saying that, the aquatic person's expression darkened. It seems that this water clan has paid too much to protect the Water System Divine Stone.

  Sun Wukong nodded silently, at this time, he couldn't say anything else.

  For a moment, the aquatic people lifted their heads again. The sorrow in their eyes had disappeared, and only a faint smile remained. "Alright, let's go inside. After settling the Eight Gods Flame, we'll go see the Aquatic Clan's Guardian Elder."

  Sun Wukong nodded slightly. Then, he saw the water tribe people raise one hand and press it against the void in front of them, causing the entire gate to open with a loud creak. The water tribe people didn't hesitate and walked straight in. Sun Wukong turned his head at this time and looked back at the Flower Fruit Mountain behind him, secretly deciding that after avenging his great hatred, he would refine the Flower Fruit Mountain into a magical treasure, a huge magical treasure. In peacetime, it could serve as a dwelling place, and in wartime, it could fly up and harm people. This way, things like this wouldn't happen again.

  Having thought it over, Sun Wukong no longer hesitated and resolutely walked in.

  Ice Witch Tower, I'm here. Hope you can tell me everything and don't let me down!
