Journey to the West: Rebirth of Pig Demon

Receiving souls

After the blurry figure appeared, it immediately flew along the already connected river of memories towards the core soul of Old Zhu. Old Zhu's soul would seem to have realized something was wrong, and he fully mobilized his soul energy to intercept the suddenly emerging figure. However, as soon as those intercepted soul energies touched the blurry figure with an immortal aura, they melted away like snow under the sun, unable to cause any obstruction to the blurry figure.

This blurry figure is none other than the lingering will of Marshal Tianpeng, whom Old Zhu thought had been completely destroyed. Marshal Tianpeng's primordial spirit was destroyed and shattered by the sudden emergence of evil energy from the Evil Valley, but his memory still retains the imprint of his will. Originally, these imprints would also disintegrate into countless copies with the collapse of memories, and have not become a climate at all.

But after Lao Zhu reassembled those scattered memories and incorporated them into his own memory river, the will imprints scattered in various memory fragments also gathered together, able to condense into a trace of Marshal Tianpeng's lingering will. After discovering that his reincarnation body had been occupied by Old Zhu's soul, Marshal Si Tianpeng's will and lingering thoughts immediately became furious, and he wanted to invade Old Zhu's soul core, completely erase his soul and will, occupy Old Zhu's soul, and thus regain his new life.

Although Marshal Tianpeng was somewhat surprised that his reincarnated pig body would be taken away by a human soul, he did not take Old Zhu seriously because of this. An ordinary human without any cultivation is like an ant to him. Even if he only has a trace of willpower left, his power is not something that an ordinary human soul can resist.

But just as Marshal Tianpeng's will and lingering thoughts were unstoppable, breaking into the core area of Old Zhu's soul, he was shocked to discover that within Old Zhu's soul source, there was an illusory floating plant, like a phantom black lotus flower. And on this phantom black lotus, there are exactly twelve petals.

Twelve grade black lotus

Marshal Tianpeng's will and lingering thoughts turned pale in shock, and he didn't care about erasing Old Zhu's soul and will anymore. He turned around and wanted to run away. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. Just as Marshal Tianpeng's residual memory incarnation had just turned around, the phantom black lotus rooted in the soul source of Old Zhu suddenly lit up, emitting a black radiance that directly shone on Marshal Tianpeng's residual memory incarnation. Marshal Tianpeng's lingering thoughts were completely extinguished by the pouring black light without even a scream.

At this moment, Lao Zhu was sleeping soundly with a pig's head resting on the tree trunk, completely unaware of the thrilling scene that happened deep within his own soul. Drool flowed out of the pig's mouth with the rhythm of snoring, and a crystal clear silk thread hung around its mouth. As a philosopher once lamented, sometimes ignorance is also a form of happiness.

Lao Zhu stretched lazily and stood up from the ground, swaying his body. After looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, I realized that I had slept for another half day. Lao Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, I just fell into a coma for a day or two, but I can still sleep. Lao Zhu is truly a pig.

Old Zhu didn't notice that his title had changed unconsciously. Originally, he, who was proficient in Mandarin, wouldn't call himself 'me'. This is actually influenced by Marshal Tianpeng's memory. Marshal Tianpeng is a celestial being who has been practicing for many years, and his memories far exceed those of Old Zhu himself. This unconsciously influenced Old Zhu after fully receiving Marshal Tianpeng's memories.

Of course, this does not mean that Old Zhu's consciousness was influenced by Marshal Tianpeng's ideas. Old Zhu's ideological consciousness has not been eroded in the slightest, but after a long memory emerged out of thin air, it is inevitable that his thoughts will be influenced to some extent. It's like a person who has been struggling in society for decades, and their thinking patterns can no longer be the same as their inexperienced teenage years.

Gululu... A loud abdominal sound came from Old Zhu's belly. Accompanying it was an unbearable hunger. Lao Zhu finally realized that he hadn't eaten for two days, so it's no wonder he wasn't hungry.

We needed to find something to eat. Old Zhu rubbed his empty stomach and stood up from the ground, ready to find something to eat.

At first, Lao Zhu didn't think it was too difficult to find something to eat. Although he is just a two-month-old piglet with little experience in the wild, doesn't he still have a treasure with him? With the Nine Toothed Nail Rake, this immortal weapon, is it not easy to cook in these mountains and forests?

Baby, come out! Old Zhu thought for a moment and lifted the nine-toothed rake in his hand.

Baby, fly up and take me Lao Zhu hunting, Lao Zhu said to the nine-toothed rake in his heart. At the same time, he raised his two pig hooves and threw the nine-toothed rake out.

Bang! The nine-toothed rake thrown by Lao Zhu created a beautiful parabolic trajectory and hit the ground heavily.

No, why didn't it fly? "Old Zhu's pig eyes immediately widened." Isn't Marshal Tianpeng the one who uses it like this? Why did it malfunction when he knocked me down? Does this rake not recognize me, Old Zhu, as its owner? That's also not right. If I don't recognize my owner, how can Old Zhu control it freely?

Old Zhu didn't know that the reason why the nine-toothed rake could automatically obey Marshal Tianpeng's drive and escape from the pursuit of farmers and villagers with Marshal Tianpeng was because the nine-toothed rake, a divine weapon with high quality, was a spiritual treasure. Lingbao, the treasure of spirituality. All spiritual treasures possess spirituality, can understand their master's intentions, and can automatically protect their master in times of danger.

But that night, the Evil Valley suddenly emitted a towering evil aura. The Nine Toothed Nail Rake felt that Marshal Tianpeng's life was threatened and spontaneously protected the master. However, it was defeated by the power of the evil aura, and its own spirituality was severely damaged, almost completely annihilated. There is no longer the spirit of automatically protecting the master by responding to fate.

Although Lao Zhu was reincarnated into the body of Zhu Bajie, the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng, he is not the true Marshal Tianpeng after all. He is just an ordinary person in later generations, and his soul is just an ordinary human soul. Even though Marshal Tianpeng's spirit is shattered, his body has been taken over by Old Zhu who has traveled through time. It is not something that can be achieved in just three or five days for this outsider, Ke Lao Zhu, to completely integrate with his body and absorb and digest the scattered fragments of the Heavenly Marshal's spirit.

Before absorbing and digesting Marshal Tianpeng's spirit, Old Zhu was no different from an ordinary pig except for possessing a human soul, without any magical powers or abilities. With the identity of the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng, one can only offer and retract this nine-toothed rake. If one wants to unleash the power of this immortal weapon, the nine-toothed rake, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. For today's Lao Zhu, the nine-toothed rake is actually just a portable rake.
