Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong

Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart (Fourth Update!)

“Not good, something seems off!”

As he ripped a Daluo Golden Immortal into several pieces with one claw, Ying Long’s face showed not the slightest bit of joy. His dragon’s tail swept two half-step Quasi-Saints flying away, and he looked toward the sky with a horrified gaze. The sky above looked no different than before, but for some reason, Ying Long felt as if there was some sort of trap waiting for them to step further into it.

“This doesn’t feel right!”

Ao Tian also furrowed his brows. Currently inside Flower-Fruit Mountain, the two of them possessed the strongest cultivation strength. They were already Quasi-Saints and had spent years in seclusion at Flower-Fruit Mountain. With the help of the stellar spiritual Qi gathered by the Nine Dragons Gathering Stars Formation, and further improvements in the Heaven-Piercing Tower, they had reached the Half-Step Saint Realm, their strength being the most top-notch among everyone.

As two of the three great divine dragons from ancient times, Ying Long and Ao Tian had spiritual senses that were much more sensitive than the average half-step Saint. They quickly noticed something was amiss.

...

“Big brother, do you feel it too?”

Ying Long had thought it was just his own misperception, but since Ao Tian felt the same way, there must be something fishy going on!

After fending off their respective opponents with their moves, their gazes simultaneously turned toward the sky, the source of their unease.

“Silent and all-encompassing… this sensation… not good, it’s the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart!”

An epiphany struck Ao Tian, and he finally remembered, this was the top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure of Goddess Nuwa, the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart!

The Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart, one of the top-ten top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, contains heavens and earth within it that can nourish immortals, produce myriad beings, and unlike other magical treasures which are either offensive or defensive, the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart records the lay of primeval land and water, serving as a map of primeval times. Inside it exists a microcosm of the Great Thousand Universe—mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, and all creatures, flying or walking, with everything available and able to emerge or extinguish in a cycle.

This Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart cannot directly suck people into it; it can only set traps to lure them in. Once the chart is spread out and consecrated in the air, it becomes completely invisible, silencing and setting up prohibitions and restraints without a trace, and by the time one realizes it, they would already be captured within the chart, unable to escape!

Goddess Nuwa once lent the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart to Erlang God Yang Jian during the Divine Enthronement War, to capture the White Ape Yuan Hong, the leader of the Seven Monsters of Meishan. In ancient primeval times, Ying Long and Candle Dragon Ao Tian had both seen Goddess Nuwa use this Spiritual Treasure, leaving them with a profound impression; now that they had recognized it, their faces turned pale in an instant!

“If the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart is above the sky, retreat quickly, don’t get trapped inside!”

Ao Tian bellowed with his head tilted towards the sky, and his figure shifted towards the ground. Ying Long also discarded his opponents and withdrew rapidly.

“Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart? That’s not good!”

Erlang God Yang Jian’s heart skipped a beat. Like Ying Long and Candle Dragon Ao Tian, he was far more familiar with the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart than others. It was only because of the long time that had passed that he didn’t recall it immediately. He too noticed the peculiarities and had been fighting while descending towards the ground. Hearing Candle Dragon Ao Tian’s shout, Erlang God Yang Jian, his face drastically changed, had no time to think further, hastily calling out to Nezha the Third Prince and turning to plummet rapidly towards the ground.

The Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart was precisely the scroll summoned by the Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi, who had obtained it from the Jade Emperor’s hands. After the reopening of the Three Realms and the re-establishing of earth, water, fire, and wind, Goddess Nuwa, invited by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, secluded herself within the thirty-six layers of Da Luo Heaven to comprehend the Supreme Great Dao. Before her departure, she entrusted the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart to Hao Tian the Jade Emperor and advised him to treat the Myriad Races kindly, especially to be lenient with the Demon Clan and not to be overly harsh.

Hao Tian the Jade Emperor had agreed wholeheartedly at the time, but after obtaining the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart, he cast Nuwa’s advice to the winds, held the Human Race above all others, and harshly oppressed the Demon Clan and other races. This time, he actually handed over the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart to Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi to be used against the Demon Race of Flower-Fruit Mountain. If Goddess Nuwa knew that the chart she had given to the Jade Emperor Hao Tian in exchange for the safety of the Demon Race was now being used against them, what would she feel in her heart?

“So it has been discovered! Then let’s not wait any longer! Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart, retract!”

Seeing that Ying Long Ying Tian, Candle Dragon Ao Tian, and Erlang God Yang Jian had all seen through the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart, the heart of Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi couldn’t help but be greatly displeased. He had originally planned to wait until all of the Demon Race from Flower-Fruit Mountain had entered the chart before launching his attack, but now he was forced to close the net early!

With a low shout, the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart materialized, and all the Heavenly Army of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Army of Flower-Fruit Mountain, along with all the Immortals and Demons engaged in battle, were taken into the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart. The only ones who escaped were Ying Long Ying Tian, Candle Dragon Ao Tian, and Erlang God Yang Jian.

“Damn it!”

Erlang God Yang Jian felt extremely anxious. There were still several beings on the side of the Heavenly Court who were in the Quasi-Saint Realm and had not been drawn into the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart because they stood by Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi and did not join the battle. Meanwhile, on their side of Flower-Fruit Mountain, only the three of them remained, outnumbered by far!

And the terror of the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart—Yang Jian had experienced it personally. It would be harder than ascending to heaven for Leng Xuan and the others to emerge safely after being captured within it!

“Yang Jian, don’t panic, don’t be rash! The strength of the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart lies in trapping the enemy. Our people have been trapped, but the Heavenly Court also hasn’t lost many. As long as we take down Guang Chengzi, we can naturally rescue Leng Xuan and the others!”

Candle Dragon Ao Tian shouted in a deep voice, awakening Erlang God Yang Jian like a dose of enlightenment, whose head, heated by urgency, gradually cooled down.

That’s right, the greatest effect of the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart was to confine enemies. Even a Heavenly Dao Saint would be trapped half to death without a supreme treasure in hand, though their lives would be unharmed. Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi had summoned this Mountains and Rivers Sheji Chart to ensnare them, the powerhouses, to create an opportunity for others to breach Flower-Fruit Mountain, nothing more!

“It’s fortunate we didn’t get trapped. Now it’s up to us to rescue everyone!”

A cold glint flashed in Erlang God Yang Jian’s eyes as he fixed his gaze on Supreme Saintly Heavenly Venerable Guang Chengzi, who was guarded by several Quasi-Saint Immortals, tightening his grip on the Purple Lightning Thunder Halberd in his hand. Charging towards his target, he shouted, “Ao Tian, Ying Tian, hold off the others, Guang Chengzi is mine!”

“Good, let’s make our move with all our might and take them down!”

With the situation being disadvantageous, Ying Long Ying Tian and Candle Dragon Ao Tian no longer held back, echoing in agreement while simultaneously radiating ripples that revealed their Domain Power.

The iron rule that those in the Quasi-Saint Realm could not control Domain Power had been completely broken in Sun Wukong’s hands. With a Medium Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure or higher, one could master the Embryo of the Domain in advance, a fact that had long become common knowledge throughout Flower-Fruit Mountain.
