Fang Xiu pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. Just as Zhou Qingfeng said, he wasn't good at finding things, but only at stealing them.
Even if Zeus had the last piece of the Reincarnation Crystal, he could still try to snatch it, but if he didn't know where it was, even he wouldn't have a good solution.
"Let's go back to the highest heaven and find the Jade Emperor."
In the end, Fang Xiu decided to return to the highest heavens and ask this strongest person in the world.
The Jade Emperor is said to be proficient in all the laws of the world, so he naturally understands the way of fate. Moreover, Zhou Qingfeng also admitted that the Jade Emperor could block his deductions.
So, Fang Xiu put Zhou Qingfeng back into the divine kingdom and teleported back to the Supreme Heaven.
When they arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, they saw the Jade Emperor, who looked somewhat haggard, sitting on the dragon throne.
“Your Majesty, you…” A look of worry appeared in Zhou Qingfeng’s eyes. He couldn’t help but worry, because the Jade Emperor was clearly exhausted. The entire Immortal Realm was being held up by the Jade Emperor alone. If he were to fall, the Immortal Realm would be destroyed in an instant.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand, indicating that he was alright: "Minister Zhou, young friend Fang, this is merely a projection of me. My true self is still in seclusion repairing the Well of Heaven. What brings you here? Could it be that the Six Paths of Reincarnation have been rebuilt?"
"No, we're still missing the last piece of the Reincarnation Crystal." Zhou Qingfeng stepped forward and explained the current predicament.
After listening, the Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment while my true form performs a divination."
After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, clearly going to communicate with his true form.
About an hour later, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes and shook his head: "I have tried several times, but the deductions have also failed. It seems that the last piece of the Reincarnation Crystal does not exist in this world."
"What exactly happened when the Reincarnation Platform shattered?" Fang Xiu suddenly asked.
"At that time, we charged into the land of reincarnation at all costs, occupied the Reincarnation Platform, and then held on to wait for reincarnation. The demons and gods kept dying and resurrecting, constantly consuming our strength. At that time, I realized that this was not a solution. The land of reincarnation was a dead end. If we were trapped there for a long time and could not receive offerings of incense and vows, all the immortals and gods would be wiped out."
However, because we have been trapped for too long, we are no longer able to break out, and I have finally decided to destroy the Reincarnation Platform.
"Then why was it Sun Wukong who ultimately made the move?" Fang Xiu vaguely realized the crux of the problem.
The Jade Emperor explained, "Because the Reincarnation Platform is formed from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation is one of the supreme laws, no law in this world can destroy it. The only way is to rely on brute force without using the power of laws."
In terms of brute strength, Sun Wukong is already one of the top people in the world. Moreover, he was born as a stone monkey, and his soul is also extremely special. Others would eventually lose their strength after losing their physical body, but he did not lose much strength. Naturally, he is the most suitable candidate.
Sun Wukong knew this too, and thus volunteered to shatter the Reincarnation Platform.
Mentioning Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor sighed: "Although Sun Wukong was mischievous, he possessed a pure heart and rendered meritorious service to the Three Realms in ancient times. When the Underworld was imprisoned, he volunteered to help. Unfortunately... the immense karmic consequences of destroying the Six Paths of Reincarnation weighed heavily on him, and coupled with the impact of the shattering of the cycle, he was closest to..."
"Sun Wukong...is dead?" Zhou Qingfeng asked solemnly.
"Under such circumstances, even I would probably find it difficult to escape unscathed."
The Jade Emperor did not give a direct answer, but his words already foreshadowed Sun Wukong's fate.
At this moment, Fang Xiu suddenly said, "Deduce the whereabouts of Sun Wukong."
Zhou Qingfeng was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled. Even the Jade Emperor had said that he himself could not escape the curse, so even if Sun Wukong was strong, he couldn't possibly be stronger than the Jade Emperor.
However, Zhou Qingfeng knew Fang Xiu well and knew that this man never joked, so there must be a reason for him to say such things.
So he began to deduce the existence of Sun Wukong.
An endless tapestry of destiny surfaced in his eyes, his gaze becoming indifferent and empty, as if he had witnessed the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time...
After a long while...
Zhou Qingfeng's body jolted violently, his expression contorted as if he were in immense pain, and he knelt on one knee.
"Minister Zhou, are you alright?" the Jade Emperor asked solemnly. He wasn't present in his true form, otherwise he would definitely have helped.
Although Zhou Qingfeng's face was pale, he still managed a smile: "It's alright. The fact that he was able to suffer the backlash of fate means that Sun Wukong is not dead. Otherwise, the fate of a dead person would not cause such a strong backlash. This just proves that he is still alive."
The Jade Emperor frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding why Sun Wukong was able to escape this seemingly inescapable situation.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he pondered, "In this world, apart from the ancient gods, no one can bear the karma of breaking the cycle of reincarnation. If you want to escape this calamity, there are only two paths: one is to become an ancient god, and the other is to become reincarnation itself!"
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes, and he couldn't help but praise, "What a great Sage Equal to Heaven! What a clever monkey!"
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help but smile: "It seems that we have finally found the last piece of the Reincarnation Crystal."
"What we need to do now is to deduce Sun Wukong's location." As he spoke, Fang Xiu calmly looked at Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng chuckled: "They really don't let people rest at all. Alright, alright, I'll continue the deduction, but the deduction is very difficult. I guess I'll be devoured by fate and die."
Fang Xiu's expression remained unchanged: "It's alright, just tell me your location before you die."
