Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 511 - : The Decree of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor (First Update!)
Chapter 511 -511: The Decree of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor (First Update!)
The voice that came from the Starry River was none other than that of the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, the foremost being of the Three Realms.
If there were a second person present, they would surely feel astounded and puzzled; hadn’t the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor gone to the thirty-six layers of the Da Luo Heaven?
For The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord to make contact with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, wouldn’t it be direct to just ascend the Heavenly Ladder to Da Lou Heaven’s Miro Palace and report in person? Why exert such great effort to communicate in this manner?
“Yes, Teacher!”
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord respectfully responded and stood up. He meticulously reported to Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor how the upstart Sun Wukong emerged out of nowhere, how he gradually altered the course of cosmic destiny, and ultimately caused the fate of the entire Three Realms to veer completely off its original trajectory, sparing no detail in narrating what he knew.
“The Five-Colored Stone left behind from Nuwa Mends the Heavens actually nurtured such a Demon Monkey! Interesting! Truly interesting!”
The amused voice of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor came from the Starry River, “The Grand Supreme, I’m clear about the matters you’ve reported. Since Sun Wukong possesses the ability to usurp the heavens’ mandate, he wouldn’t be easily eradicated nor does he need to be! The Three Realms have been too tranquil for far too long. Following the original course of Heavenly Dao would only lead to further decline. Now that such a change has occurred, it may be a blessing in disguise! Regarding your next moves, just follow your heart without any regard for me!”
“Yes, Teacher, your disciple understands!”

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord nodded his head, having understood the intent of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. He was not to suppress Sun Wukong but let him develop, and Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor was pleased with the current changes in the Three Realms. As for which side he should stand on, it was entirely his decision. Naturally, the consequences would also be wholly borne by him, with Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor not intervening.
“Sun Wukong, huh? Heh, quite the interesting lad! This Ancestor truly looks forward to the scene when we meet in the Void Realm…”
An amused sigh escaped from the Starry River, and promptly the Starry River vanished from sight, with the firmament returning to its original state. The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord withdrew his three clones, fell silent for a moment, then a sharp gleam of resolution flashed in his eyes. He turned and left the Eight Scenic Palaces, heading back to the Doushui Palace.
Before the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure Vault.
The Jade Emperor, wielding the Hao Tian Sword embedded with the Chaos Divine Pearl, displayed a hint of hesitation in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by ruthlessness. He clenched the sword hilt tightly and walked towards the grand entrance of the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure Vault. As if sensing the Jade Emperor’s presence, the doors to the Treasure Vault silently swung open. The Jade Emperor stepped inside, striding unswervingly past the numerous treasure halls and countless treasures, heading straight to the deepest part of a treasure hall.
Unlike the other treasure halls, this hall contained no treasures, only a large Divine Platform.
The Jade Emperor stepped onto the Divine Platform, standing at the edge and gazing at a pool of clear water within. He took a deep breath and went to insert the Hao Tian Sword into a sword slot beside the clear water. Just as it was about to be fully plunged in, a majestic voice echoed throughout the Three Realms, and at the same time, a colossal figure materialized in the sky. Even through the Treasure Vault’s dome, the Jade Emperor could still see the figure above the firmament.
It was the figure of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor!
The Hao Tian Sword in the Jade Emperor’s hand paused its motion, no longer continuing downwards. Releasing his grip, the Jade Emperor knelt on one knee to the ground, paying his respects to the visage of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor above the vault of heaven.
The Jade Emperor was the sovereign of the Three Realms, a position determined by Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. Without Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s consent, how could the Jade Emperor secure his position as the master of the Three Realms with his own strength?
No matter when, in front of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, the Jade Emperor had not the slightest trace of arrogance; he would always be the little Taoist Boy before Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor.
“The third Infinite Calamity has arrived. Within the Three Realms, no one may use power above the Saint Level for five hundred years. Anyone who violates this decree shall be punished by heaven and earth together!”
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s majestic voice echoed across the firmament, like a celestial chant resounding unceasingly. The Jade Emperor’s pupils suddenly shrank. What did Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor mean by this? Not being able to use power above the Saint Level for five hundred years essentially meant that during the six hundred years of the third Infinite Calamity, only the last hundred years could be used to wage a holy war?
This was essentially giving Flower-Fruit Mountain a full five hundred years to develop!
Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor, was he favoring that Demon Monkey, Sun Wukong?
The Jade Emperor wanted to ask, but Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor’s figure had already disappeared, yet his authoritative voice still resonated continuously between heaven and earth.
“Within the Three Realms, for five hundred years, no one may use power above the Saint Level. Anyone who violates this decree shall be punished by heaven and earth together!”
“Violators shall be punished by heaven and earth together!”
“Punished together!”
Damn it, what is the reason for this?
The Jade Emperor clenched his fists and slammed them down hard onto the Divine Platform’s ground. The entire Divine Platform, along with the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure Vault, shook. He could not understand why Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor would suddenly issue such a prohibition.
The third Infinite Calamity had already arrived, and the Heavenly Dao Saint’s power was no longer suppressed and could be freely displayed in its true form. This was supposed to be the best opportunity to kill Sun Wukong and eradicate the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Clan. The Jade Emperor had even planned to activate the Apocalyptic Divine Light at the cost of the Heavenly Court’s accumulated foundation since ancient times to annihilate Sun Wukong and Flower-Fruit Mountain, but then Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor had issued this prohibition at such a time!
Wasn’t this blatantly aiding that Demon Monkey?
The Apocalyptic Divine Light was not merely power above the Saint Level but was infinitely close to the power of the Primordial Taiji Da Luo Gold Immortal Realm of Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor. Except for the Heavenly Dao Saint, who could protect themselves by connecting with the Heavenly Dao, no one else could withstand it. The Jade Emperor had been determined to eradicate Sun Wukong and destroy Flower-Fruit Mountain at the cost of depleting the Heavenly Court’s foundation, yet the decree from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor made him hesitate.
Now that the decree from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor had been given, if he stubbornly decided to use the Apocalyptic Divine Light, he feared that the Heavenly Punishment from Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor might arrive upon him before the Apocalyptic Divine Light could annihilate Sun Wukong and those Demon Clan members from Flower-Fruit Mountain.
By then, even if he succeeded in killing Sun Wukong and the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Clan, his own life would also be at stake!
For the sake of a lowly Demon Monkey and a group of lowly demons, to gamble both the future of the Heavenly Court and his life was simply too unwarranted!
“Damn it, why would the Daoist Ancestor show such favoritism towards that Demon Monkey? I am the one whom the Daoist Ancestor personally designated as the sovereign of the Three Realms! Why, why is this happening?”
Angry and resentful roars echoed in the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure Vault for a long time. In the end, the Jade Emperor did not dare to drive the Hao Tian Sword further. After a long while, his face filled with frustration, he reluctantly pulled the Hao Tian Sword out and removed the Chaos Divine Pearl from its hilt.
“If we cannot use the Saint Level’s power, then we have no choice but to agree to the conditions of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and join forces with the Buddhist Sect to curb the development of Flower-Fruit Mountain!”
