Chapter 767: Chapter 767

"Really have to ask Emperor Gouchen again?" Sun Wukong muttered softly, just returning from Gouchen Palace and going back again to ask about things, it makes me, Old Sun, seem quite incompetent, and it will also lower my image in the eyes of Emperor Gouchen, not suitable, not suitable at all.

"No need, just ask the Great General directly, he must also be aware."

Nezha stretched out his hand and a spherical object appeared in his palm, clicking and expanding outward, forming a tablet—it was Nezha’s Three Realms Mall.

Nezha scrolled through his friends list to find an imposing monkey avatar, muttering, "Your avatars really are too similar, I almost picked the wrong one several times." He tapped on the avatar.

Beep beep beep~ A video request was sent.

The other side quickly connected, and there was Wuzhiqi in armor, with flowing clouds speeding by, still on the move.

Sun Wukong also curiously stretched out his monkey’s head, looking at Wuzhiqi. This monkey could be said to be the most powerful one he had ever seen, actually holding military power in the Heavenly Court. This truly brings honor to our Monkey Clan! In the future, when I, Old Sun, get to Heavenly Court, I can go around more often, build a good relationship, and help each other out.

Nezha gave a bow with his hands clasped and said, "Greetings to the Divine General!"

In the video, Wuzhiqi laughed heartily and said, "Nezha, how did you end up in the Lower Realm? And you even mixed in with Tang Sanzang and the others. Are you also going to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures?"

Tang Sanzang and the others also clasped their fists in greeting and said, "Greetings to the Great General!"

Wuzhiqi also clasped his fists in return.

Nezha smiled and said, "General, we would like to consult you on a matter."

"Tang Sanzang and the others have traveled westward and arrived at the Daughter Country..."

Daughter Country, Wuzhiqi’s expression changed, glanced at Tang Sanzang’s large belly, and chuckled twice.

Nezha explained what he knew, and everyone looked at Wuzhiqi expectantly.

After pondering for a moment, Wuzhiqi shook his head and said, "The Divine Temple of the Holy Mother that you’re looking for, I also don’t know where it is.

However, the Spring of Abortion is indeed under my watch. As for slaughtering half the population of Daughter Country to snatch the Spring of Abortion, that’s just utter nonsense."

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "I knew it was fake."

Tang Sanzang quickly asked for clarification, "Please enlighten us, Divine Monarch."

"A very, very long time ago, due to the devout faith of the people of Daughter Country, Nuwa split the clay from the Supreme Treasure used for creation into two parts, forming the Creation Spring and the Creation Yin Spring.

The Creation Spring turned into a well, ordinary women would drink a mouthful of water from the Yang Spring to give birth to boys.

The Creation Yin Spring turned into a river, drinking from the Yin Spring would lead to the birth of girls.

But the waters of Yin Yang conflict with each other, not something ordinary forces can resolve, drinking both at the same time will dissolve the energy.

Because the people of Daughter Country revered women and disdained men, over time, they came to call the Creation Yin Spring the Mother and Child River, and the Creation Spring was called the Spring of Abortion by them.

Back then, they treated the Mother and Child River as the Holy River, and during major festivals, they must drink a cup of water from the Holy River. Drink the Holy River water when sick, drink it when injured, drink it when happy, drink it when sad; to them, the Holy River was the cure-all."

Tang Sanzang looked at his own large belly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then won’t they often get pregnant?"

"What’s there to fear about pregnancy? Just drink from the Spring of Abortion and it’s done, nothing simpler than that."

"This... this..." Tang Sanzang was utterly astonished.

One can imagine such a scene, where tens of thousands of infants are aborted every day, and yet the citizens of this country are content with it, indifferent to the act, and repeat this life day after day. It is simply like a purgatory on earth.

Tang Sanzang thought of that tragedy, his face twitched twice, and he couldn’t help but put his hands together, chanting: "Namo Amitabha Buddha~"

Zhu Bajie shook his head and said, "Hell is empty, and the evil spirits are among the living!"

Wuzhiqi continued, "Later, Emperor Gouchen learned of the Daughter Country’s plight and was immediately outraged. He descended to the Lower Realm in person and what he saw were cities filled with baby spirits, poor baby spirits all over the country.

In his fury, the Emperor granted the infant souls power with his Supreme Power to unite them with their mothers, allowing a portion of the baby spirits to find relief.

Another portion of the baby spirits became Fierce Ghosts, taking their mothers’ souls to the Underworld. As for which path the baby spirits chose, the Emperor did not interfere, for this was the rightful retribution due to the citizens of the Daughter Country."

Prince Nezha reflected thoughtfully, "So did the Emperor then seal off the Spring of Abortion?"

In the video, Wuzhiqi nodded and said, "Exactly, the Emperor later demarcated the land for his palace and protected the Spring of Abortion within, ordering me to dispatch the Heavenly Soldiers to guard it.

This is the truth behind the legend in the Daughter Country of the evil demon descending and releasing countless evil spirits to slaughter the people, when in fact, these evil spirits are their own children."

Sun Wukong sneered, "What a Daughter Country, who would’ve thought they possessed such malicious hearts? In my view, the Emperor has been too lenient on them.

Little monk, do you still want to seize the Spring of Abortion now?"

Tang Sanzang put his hands together, expressing his feelings, "Unrestrained desire is the very hell of destruction, the Spring of Abortion must never fall into the hands of the Daughter Country again."

Zhu Bajie exclaimed, "Master, in my opinion, the Ruler of Women’s Country asking us to help her retrieve the Spring of Abortion definitely has no good intentions; you must be careful of her."

Tang Sanzang became serious and said, "Bajie, your words are not right~

Your Majesty likely doesn’t know about the past events, she must have been misled by the legends passed down in her country and thus sought my help..."

In the video, Wuzhiqi said, "Alright, I’ve told you all that I need to. You all can handle the rest! I still need to deliver in the Chaos.

Oh, and a warning for you! Don’t even think about touching the Spring of Abortion, or you’ll be in trouble."

Prince Nezha bowed and said, "Thank you for the warning, General."

The video suddenly shrank and then disappeared.

Prince Nezha stored away the Three Realms Mall, saying, "Seizing the Spring of Abortion is unacceptable; do you have any better ideas?"

"According to my wishes, we should directly confront the King and see if she’ll talk under my iron rod," declared Sun Wukong.

Tang Sanzang immediately scolded, "Wukong, how can a monk be so violent?"

"Hey~ I’ve heard that even in the Buddha Sect, there are Angry-eyed Vajras, how is that not violent?"

"In our Buddha Sect, there is also compassion; why don’t you learn that?"

Zhu Bajie complained, "Master, no matter whether we should have children or not, our time is already running out; stop speaking for that Female Country Leader of yours."

"Exactly, exactly, throughout this journey Westward, when you were gathering Merit from other countries, why didn’t you think of having compassion?"

"Cough cough~ That was mutual benefit, helping each other out."
