Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Lin Yao secluded himself in Zhongnan Mountain to study the power of chaos and the corresponding Chaos Heaven-Opening Slash Great Divine Power. The more he studied, the more amazed he became by its profoundness.

Chaos was divided into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang gave rise to the Five Elements, and the Five Elements gave birth to all things.

This power is the foundation of the Great Dao, from which all things originate.

Whether it's the golden-bodied Arhats of Buddhism, the Golden Elixir of Taoism, or the physical sainthood of the demon race, they all ultimately originate from this chaos.

The power of chaos is that "one," containing infinite possibilities.

He had only just begun to explore the basics when he realized that the road ahead was endless.

The chaotic power was like a vast starry sky, and he was merely standing at its edge, seeing only the light of one star. Endless mysteries awaited his exploration, and countless realms awaited his ascent. A sense of awe arose within him, along with gratitude for this opportunity. His ability to control such a high-level power was largely due to the combined power of his other brothers in the Star Palace—if those powers from different worlds hadn't fused and collided within him, he wouldn't have been able to fortuitously condense this wisp of chaotic origin.

On this day, Lin Yao was meditating in his cave, the Chaos Sword within his body slowly rotating, emitting a soft light. Suddenly, he sensed something, opened his eyes, and gazed through the cave's rock walls towards the sky.

In the direction of the Heavenly Court, the sea of ​​clouds surged, golden light shimmered, and the faint sounds of battle cries could be heard. Countless celestial soldiers and generals were gathering, their banners obscuring the sky, their killing intent soaring to the heavens. Their target seemed to be a famous mountain in the mortal realm—Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Oh?" Lin Yao raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "They're fighting again?"

He stepped out of his cave and stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance. Above Flower Fruit Mountain, a dense net of heaven and earth stretched out, golden light and purple mist billowing into the sky. A hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, exuding murderous intent, completely surrounded the mountain. The monkey demons within were terrified, fleeing in all directions. Some were captured by the heavenly soldiers, others were shot dead by arrows, their screams echoing throughout the land.

Lin Yao recognized the banners of the heavenly soldiers—they were under the command of Erlang Shen, Yang Jian. It seemed that because Sun Wukong, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, was supporting Chenxiang in splitting the mountain to rescue his mother, Erlang Shen, the judicial god whose motives were unknown, was leading the heavenly soldiers in a siege.

It seems that Chenxiang's first trip to Heaven and his fall to the mortal realm from the South Heavenly Gate was just a minor incident. Now the situation appears to have escalated, with even the Monkey King getting involved in the real battle.

Lin Yao stroked his chin, pondering. He also felt that it was precisely because of this bustling activity that he, a lowly celestial soldier, was left unattended, allowing him to accumulate a considerable base of influence in the Zhongnan Mountains. If the Heavenly Court were calm and peaceful, those important figures, with nothing better to do, might notice this "missing" celestial soldier and send people to investigate his background. Right now, they were busy dealing with the Monkey King and Chenxiang; how could they have time to care about him?

"How could I miss such a lively event?" Lin Yao chuckled, and with a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

He moved with incredible speed, arriving at the Flower Fruit Mountain territory in a matter of moments. He didn't immediately reveal himself, but instead concealed his presence, observing the battlefield from above the clouds. Above Flower Fruit Mountain, celestial soldiers and generals were layered upon each other, completely surrounding the mountain. The Nine Luminaries Star Lord led the charge, engaging in fierce combat with the seventy-two demon kings within the mountain. Although those demon kings were valiant, they were no match for the Nine Luminaries Star Lord, suffering a crushing defeat and retreating in disarray.

A large crowd had gathered. Spies, wandering immortals, and demon kings from all sides of the Three Realms were watching the spectacle from a distance. All the good spots were taken, and Lin Yao searched for a long time before finally finding an empty spot in a patch of grass some distance away. He landed, parted the grass, and discovered that several people had already taken those spots.

A beautiful woman, with a captivating yet innocent charm, possessed slightly upturned fox-like eyes that gleamed with a hint of cunning. Behind her, several fluffy tails were faintly visible—clearly, she was a fox spirit.

She was an ordinary-looking woman, only pretty, the kind of face that wouldn't stand out in a crowd. But Lin Yao sensed a subtle threat emanating from her—a strange feeling, as if this woman possessed an extremely terrifying power hidden within her, only concealed by some means.

One was a dashing and elegant woman, dressed in a long blue dress, with a heroic air about her. Lin Yao could see her true form—a true dragon, and one with extremely pure blood. These people were more important; Lin Yao didn't pay much attention to the others, considering them just there to make up the numbers.

Lin Yao had a rough idea of ​​the identities of the people in front of him. If he wasn't mistaken, the fox spirit should be Xiaoyu, Chenxiang's confidante; the ordinary-looking woman should be Dingxiang in disguise; and the real dragon queen was Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East Sea and a close friend of Chenxiang's mother, the Third Holy Mother.

The group exchanged glances, remaining silent in the face of Lin Yao's sudden arrival. No one made a move. After all, the fight outside was already intense; there was no need to create unnecessary trouble and attract attention. The atmosphere was subtly awkward yet peaceful.

Lin Yao nodded as a greeting, then turned to look at the battlefield, focusing on watching the show.

On the battlefield, the Nine Luminaries Star Lord led the charge, and the seventy-two demon kings were utterly routed. Those demon kings who usually ruled over the Flower Fruit Mountain area were like paper before the Nine Luminaries Star Lord, crumbling at the slightest touch. Some were killed, some were captured, and some simply surrendered, kneeling and begging for mercy.

Just then, a golden light shot into the sky from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

"Hey! Who dares to run wild on my territory!"

With a roar, Sun Wukong appeared in mid-air. He wore golden chainmail, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and held the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), looking majestic and awe-inspiring. His fiery eyes swept across the battlefield, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes when he saw the slaughtered monkey demons.

"Nine Luminaries, how dare you! You weren't even born when I, Old Sun, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace! Now you dare to run wild on my Flower Fruit Mountain? Take this!"

He darted into the battlefield in a flash. His golden cudgel swung in a wide arc, sending a star lord flying backward, crashing into a large group of heavenly soldiers behind him. Another blow sent another star lord flying. Three blows, four blows, five blows—the Nine Luminaries Star Lords were like children before him, utterly powerless, fleeing in disarray.

"Good!" Lin Yao couldn't help but cheer softly. This monkey truly lived up to its reputation.

Upon seeing this, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, frowned and ordered the Four Heavenly Kings and the Twenty-Eight Constellations to attack Sun Wukong. The Four Heavenly Kings, each wielding their magical weapons, attacked from four directions; while the Twenty-Eight Constellations laid down a net, attempting to trap Sun Wukong.

However, Sun Wukong was not at a disadvantage. He wielded his golden cudgel with tremendous force, and with each sweep, a horde of heavenly soldiers fell. His movements were agile and ever-changing, sometimes growing larger, sometimes smaller, sometimes transforming into a golden streak that darted through the enemy ranks, making it impossible for the heavenly soldiers and generals to even catch a glimpse of him. He fought with increasing ferocity, displaying a power no less than that of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven during his rampage in the Heavenly Palace.

Seeing the monkeys fighting so fiercely, Chenxiang couldn't help but intervene. Wielding the Xuanhua Divine Axe, he charged out from the crowd, cleaving a star lord with his axe. Although young, he possessed exceptional talent, and with years of experience, he had already acquired considerable combat prowess.

Seeing Chen Xiang make her move, Lin Yao's companions were eager to rush out and help. But Ao Tingxin stopped them.

"Don't rush," Ao Tingxin said in a low voice. "Sun Wukong is fighting so fiercely because he's truly powerful. Chenxiang dared to fight and was able to fight safely because he has connections with the Jade Emperor and Erlang Shen. As for us, if we were to make a move, we would definitely be suppressed by the heavenly soldiers and generals."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu and Dingxiang were anxious, but they knew that Ao Tingxin was right, so they had to suppress their impulse and continue to watch the battle from the bushes.

Lin Yao glanced at Ao Tingxin and nodded inwardly. This Fourth Princess of the East Sea was indeed a sensible person.

He continued to watch the game and gradually began to see the signs.

Firstly, the monkey is indeed very strong. His combat power is among the top in the Three Realms. Those heavenly soldiers and generals are like clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of him.

Secondly, Erlang Shen Yang Jian had not yet made a move. He stood atop the clouds, holding his three-pointed double-edged sword, coldly observing the battlefield, seemingly waiting for something.

Thirdly, it seems like everyone is putting on an act again—just like the havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the Journey to the West. Although the heavenly soldiers and generals shouted battle cries, very few were actually fighting desperately. Although Sun Wukong fought fiercely, he didn't kill them; he only injured and drove them back without taking their lives.

All of this seemed like a meticulously orchestrated play.

At this moment, Ao Tingxin took the initiative to speak, introducing herself: "I am Ao Tingxin, the Fourth Princess of the East Sea. May I ask who you are?"

As Lin Yao had expected, it was indeed the Fourth Princess of the East Sea, along with people from Chen Xiang's side.

Lin Yao also introduced himself: "I am Lin Yao, a wandering immortal from Zhongnan Mountain." He did not reveal his identity as a heavenly soldier who had been defeated at the South Heavenly Gate—after all, that identity was somewhat embarrassing to mention and could potentially cause unnecessary trouble.

Afterwards, everyone learned a little about the situation and then continued watching the play.

At this moment, Ao Tingxin sighed, "As expected of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, even the arrogant Erlang Shen is now cowering and dares not step forward."

As she said this, Ao Tingxin looked delighted. No wonder, given that her best friend, the Third Holy Mother, had been suppressed under Mount Hua by her own brother, she naturally harbored a great deal of resentment towards Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

Lin Yao deeply shared the same sentiment. He was also quite annoyed with Erlang Shen, the number one actor in the Three Realms—his entire family was fighting and killing, and then he, an innocent little celestial soldier, was driven off the Southern Heavenly Gate, caught in the crossfire. He had heard that Erlang Shen, on the surface, appeared to be upholding justice and even betraying his own family, but in reality, he was secretly supporting Chenxiang, giving him cultivation techniques and magical treasures, putting on a very good show. It was pitiful that he and his lowly celestial soldiers had become props in Erlang Shen's play.

Lin Yao recounted numerous anecdotes and smear campaigns about Erlang Shen that he had gathered from his fellow workers among the heavenly soldiers and generals—such as his unleashed dog, which he allowed to bite his colleagues; his slacking off at work, often sleeping soundly in the True Lord's Temple; and his abuse of power, using heavenly resources to benefit his subordinates. Lin Yao spoke vividly, making Ao Tingxin burst into laughter.

The two hit it off immediately and found themselves getting along very well. Ao Tingxin found Lin Yao, this free spirit, very interesting; he spoke eloquently and could tell jokes. Lin Yao also thought Ao Tingxin was straightforward and a friend he could make.

Just as they were getting into the conversation, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

Erlang Shen seems to have given up on acting; he's preparing to capture the monkey and Chenxiang.

Yang Jian entered the arena wielding his three-pointed, double-edged sword, engaging the monkey in a fierce battle that lasted three hundred rounds without a clear victor. Both displayed their extraordinary abilities, transforming into giants tens of thousands of feet tall, their fight igniting the heavens and earth. Their figures clashed above the clouds, each collision unleashing a deafening roar, the shockwaves sending the surrounding celestial soldiers and generals staggering.

Erlang Shen opened his Heavenly Eye, and a beam of golden light shot out, shattering Sun Wukong's transformation technique. Sun Wukong's movements faltered, revealing an opening. Li Tianwang seized the opportunity, leading his generals to attack and surround Sun Wukong. Surrounded, Sun Wukong showed no fear, unleashing his three heads and six arms, each arm wielding a golden cudgel, fighting to the death.

Just then, a large, fat figure rushed out from the crowd.

"Don't panic, brother! I, Old Pig, am here!"

Seeing his elder brother being beaten so badly, Pigsy, the Cleansing Altar Messenger, couldn't just stand by and watch, so he came out to join the fun. Although he was usually lazy and gluttonous, he was reliable in a pinch. Wielding his nine-toothed rake, he charged into the encirclement and fought back-to-back with Monkey King.

After all, he was one of Chenxiang's masters, so he needed to be more involved in these matters. If he kept slacking off, it wouldn't be good if his own Monkey King brother held him accountable later.

Seeing that Pigsy had also joined the fray, Ao Tingxin became restless. She turned to Lin Yao, a sly glint in her eyes: "Brother Lin, why don't we fight our way out and make a name for ourselves?"

Lin Yao glanced at her and chuckled, "Alright, Princess, please go first."

"Hey, Brother Lin, please go first. You're a man, you should take the lead."

"No, no, no, the princess is a true dragon with great magical power. She should make the first move, and I will follow behind to support her."

"Brother Lin, you're too kind. I can tell you have an extraordinary demeanor and must possess exceptional skills. Please, Brother Lin, go first."

They verbally agreed, but their actions betrayed their words, each trying to pass the buck and refusing to go first. Finally, they stared at each other, both utterly shocked by the other's shamelessness.

"Brother Lin, that's not very kind of you," Ao Tingxin said, pouting.

"Princess, we're in the same boat." Lin Yao cupped his hands in greeting, his expression unchanged.

Xiaoyu and Dingxiang, who were standing nearby, had clearly seen Lin Yao and Ao Tingxin chatting happily, but now they were dragging their feet, giving the impression that they were trying to trick them. They felt that the adult world was too complicated, so they moved to the side to keep their distance from these two "shameless" adults.

On the battlefield, the fighting has entered a fierce stage.

Sun Wukong and Yang Jian fought for hundreds of rounds, neither gaining the upper hand. Both were extremely exhausted, but neither was willing to back down. Just then, a golden bracelet slid down from the heavens, heading straight for the back of Sun Wukong's head.

Although Sun Wukong was in the midst of a fierce battle, his eyes and ears were sharp, and he instantly spotted the golden bracelet. He couldn't help but shout, "Laojun, again? This is going too far..."

He was instantly transported back to the days when he called himself the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and he was ambushed in the same way. Back then, he didn't know any better, so it was normal for him to get beaten up. Now, he was just following the procedure, and yet he was still being ambushed. Was Laozi still resentful about those elixirs he'd taken back then, and wanted to take this opportunity to give him, Old Sun, a hard time? What a wretched old man!

However, even though he was mentally prepared and had caught sight of the bracelet, Sun Wukong still couldn't dodge it. The golden bracelet seemed to ignore the distance and his attempts to evade, striking him precisely on the back of the head.

"Thump—!"

With a muffled thud, Sun Wukong felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his vision filled with stars, and he swayed before collapsing to the ground. His golden cudgel flew from his hand and embedded itself in the ground not far away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Celestial Hound pounced and bit Sun Wukong's neck, rendering him unable to move.

Seeing this, Chenxiang and Zhu Bajie looked anxious and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Master Sun!" "Brother Monkey!"

They tried to rush to the rescue, but were surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals and could not escape at all.
