"What should we do?" Zhou Qingfeng frowned instinctively. Although he knew that Sun Wukong was not dead and had become the last piece of the Reincarnation Crystal, the clues had been lost.
"Why don't you go to the Demon Realm again and use the same method you used to find the Well of Heaven to find Sun Wukong?"
Before Fang Xiu could speak, the Jade Emperor rejected the idea.
The Jade Emperor shook his head and said, "This method is not feasible. The Well of Heavenly Dao is different from the Crystallization of Reincarnation. The Well of Heavenly Dao cannot be concealed or hidden because it is formed from the Heavenly Dao of this world and can never leave this world. Therefore, it cannot enter the Divine Kingdom or the Inner World."
Reincarnation Crystals are fragments of the laws of reincarnation. Some powerful Heavenly Demon Gods can collect them into their own divine kingdoms or even hide them within their bodies. If someone deliberately hides them, even if you search the entire hell, it will be to no avail.
Furthermore, given your previous trips to the Demon Realm to collect Reincarnation Crystals, those demon gods already know your purpose. If you were to go rashly, you might not even find Sun Wukong before someone with ulterior motives discovers that Sun Wukong is the secret of the last Reincarnation Crystal.
Therefore, it is best to conduct this matter in secret, finding Sun Wukong without alerting the demons.
Upon hearing this, the Lingxiao Palace fell silent.
Zhou Qingfeng frowned, and Fang Xiu seemed to be deep in thought.
After a long silence, Zhou Qingfeng made a suggestion.
He turned to Fang Xiu and said, "Perhaps you could go undercover."
Fang Xiu frowned slightly. He had always disliked being called a demon god, let alone going to the Demon Realm to act as an undercover agent.
"If we want to find out Sun Wukong's whereabouts without alerting him, the best way is for you, Fang Xiu, to go undercover in the Demon Realm!"
Of all the gods and immortals, only you possess overwhelming demonic energy comparable to that of a celestial demon god. To be honest, if you were to discard this human skin, even Zeus himself would probably have a hard time recognizing you as a human.
Furthermore, given your mastery of transformation and devouring techniques, you could easily infiltrate the Demon Realm, devour a Heavenly Demon God, and take its place.
The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement: "This method... is feasible. However..."
A look of worry appeared between his brows: "I am not worried that young friend Fang will be discovered because of his demonic energy, but I am worried that young friend Fang will give himself away in his lifestyle, even in his tone of voice and way of getting along with others."
After all, there is a difference between immortals and demons. Most demon gods are corrupted by demonic energy, causing their personalities to change drastically, becoming extremely tyrannical and cruel, and their actions cannot be judged by common sense.
"Young friend Fang, do you know how to portray a demon god well? I have fought demon gods for ten thousand years, and I believe I have some understanding of them, which I can pass on to you."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you still haven't met Fang Xiu enough. No one in this world knows better than him how to play the role of a demon god. He just needs to tone it down a bit."
Fang Xiu stared at Zhou Qingfeng expressionlessly. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had some expertise in the Dao of Destiny, this matter certainly wouldn't have ended well today.
The Jade Emperor chuckled, feeling a slight sense of relief for the first time in ten years after being exhausted.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you with this matter, young friend Fang. Also, there's another matter I'd like to ask you to handle before I go undercover."
"Zeus and the other two?" Fang Xiu asked. He asked this because when he returned to the Supreme Heaven, he found that although there were still demons attacking the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of the Supreme Heaven, Zeus, God, and Odin were missing.
The Jade Emperor nodded, his expression grave: "Indeed, Zeus and his two companions only appeared during the initial attack and have been missing ever since, not showing their faces for a full ten years. I suspect they may be plotting some kind of conspiracy."
The Supreme Heaven is currently on full defensive and in a very passive position. If possible, it would be best to find out what those three are plotting, just in case.
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. For the Demon God, the most important task at present was to break the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, attack the Supreme Heaven, reclaim the Well of Heavenly Dao, and release the source of pollution.
But at this crucial moment, Zeus and his two companions, the highest leaders of the demons, mysteriously disappeared, which was indeed unsettling.
"While searching for Sun Wukong, I will also investigate the situation of Zeus and the other two," Fang Xiu agreed.
"Alright, then the next step is to discuss what identity young friend Fang should enter Hell in."
Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "It would be best to find an Eastern god who has fallen into demonic possession. The differences between East and West are quite obvious. If Fang Xiu is disguised as a Western demon god, it would be easy for him to slip up in some details. Moreover, these Western demon gods are all connected to each other, while Eastern gods who have fallen into demonic possession have less contact with them."
"I also have this idea. There are quite a few Eastern Gods who have defected to the Demon Realm, but not many are scattered in Hell, and even fewer have the same cultivation level. After thinking it over, I can only think of one candidate, but he is not an Eastern God, but a demon."
"May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of demon is it?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Speaking of which, this demon and Sun Wukong have quite a history. They were sworn brothers when Sun Wukong was in the mortal world. There were seven of them in total, collectively known as the Seven Great Sages."
Sun Wukong is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and this demon is none other than Sun Wukong's third brother, the Great Sage of Chaos, Peng Demon King. Although he is Sun Wukong's third brother, he is not very capable, only a fourth-rank Heavenly Demon God, whose only skill is his unparalleled ability to fly.
Zhou Qingfeng was slightly curious: "Fourth rank? Then how can he be the third brother of the Monkey King?"
The Jade Emperor explained, "Because they formed their sworn brotherhood according to age, Sun Wukong was the youngest, so he ranked seventh. Moreover, when Sun Wukong was in the human world, he did not have the strength he has now. It's just that his progress was too fast, and he left his other brothers behind early on."
However, ever since news of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace spread, the seven great sages have never gathered together again, each scattering at the first sign of trouble.
“They’re all just superficial friends,” Zhou Qingfeng chuckled and shook his head.
"Where is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?" Fang Xiu asked directly, as he had no time to waste on idle chatter.
The Jade Emperor pointed to the endless void, and Fang Xiu's gaze swept across the highest heavens, through the Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, and finally landed on a man with huge golden wings on his back, wearing dark gold armor, a blood-red cloak, and holding a golden spear.
The man was tall and imposing, with sharply defined features and deep-set eyes, giving off a strong sense of pressure, as if he were being targeted by an apex predator in a primeval jungle.
"He is none other than the Great Sage of Chaos, the Roc Demon King." The Jade Emperor's calm voice rang in Fang Xiu's ears.
"In order to continuously deplete the Myriad Immortals Array, the Demon Realm forces the Demon Gods to engage in a war of attrition, sending a new batch of Demon Gods to attack every so often. The remaining Demon Gods recover their strength in the Demon Realm, and some of the Demon Gods who are killed also need time to be resurrected."
Looks like we're in luck; it's the time when the Roc Demon King is on duty.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly: "It's just a pity that this Peng Demon King's luck isn't very good."
