Rescuing Sun Wukong

Upon hearing what the constellations said, Sun Wukong was overjoyed and quickly said:

"Great, you've finally arrived! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? I'm dying of heat in here! Please let me out of here right now!"

After pondering this for a long time, the constellations comforted Sun Wukong, saying:

"Great Sage Sun, don't be anxious. We need to find a way in so we can rescue you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately calmed down. After a short while, he heard a creaking sound outside. Sun Wukong asked with a puzzled look:

"What are you doing right now? Making such a racket, aren't you afraid of attracting all those monsters?!"

One of the constellations, upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, immediately burst into laughter. After a short while, it said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage Sun, don't be anxious! Besides, those monsters are celebrating their success in capturing Tang Xuanzang, so they can't pay any attention to you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately calmed down.

Meanwhile, after a short while, the demon suddenly remembered that there was also Sun Wukong, who was currently imprisoned in the golden bowl, and said to his lesser demons:

"Go and see how Sun Wukong is doing. If he's turned into pus and blood, bring back the golden bowl. I'll tell you the secret to using it now."

After the monster finished speaking, it whispered a few words into the ears of the lesser demons.

Then the lesser demons prepared to rush towards Sun Wukong's direction, but after hearing what the Great King said to the group of lesser demons, the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions hurriedly fled, not forgetting to say to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage Sun, that demon has sent his men here to check on you. We should hide now, or we'll be discovered soon."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong said to them:

"Alright then, that works. You all hide first, and whatever you do, don't make a sound. Otherwise, if that monster finds you, there won't be any way to explain it."

"It's possible, and could even be serious, that it will involve you. If that happens, you've come all this way to save me for nothing."

As soon as the gods heard Sun Wukong say this, they immediately hid. A short while later, a group of monsters arrived.

However, the demons were unaware of the gravity of the situation; they simply roared loudly beside Sun Wukong's golden bowl:

"Sun Wukong, are you still alive? If not, then we're taking the golden bowl."

Those monsters were shouting loudly at the door like idiots.

However, upon hearing this, Sun Wukong loudly proclaimed, "Your Grandpa Sun is still here, don't die yet! Come back later."

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, the demons realized that Sun Wukong was still alive and were immediately terrified, fleeing in panic.

Just then, the demons had already run to the Demon King's side and reported to him:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! That Sun Wukong is still alive! What should we do now?"

The Demon King scoffed at his subordinates, saying, "So what? In a little while, he'll turn into a pool of pus and blood. If we release him then, he'll be beyond saving."

At the same time, the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions continued to come to Sun Wukong's side and said to Sun Wukong:

"Great Sage Sun, those monsters are all gone now. Don't worry. I think this treasure is a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical scepter) that can transform. Feel around the stitched area inside."

"Use my Law Treasure to crawl in later, then you can escape."

Sun Wukong nodded upon hearing this, and after a short while Sun Wukong said:

"Then you should try to hurry, otherwise I'm afraid those monsters will come back, and that would be troublesome."

Just as Sun Wukong finished speaking, the constellation took out its Law Treasure and muttered softly, "Grow!"

Then the star's Law Treasure transformed into something resembling a drill.

The tip of the horn, like a needle, pierced through the phoenix, but it required all one's strength to penetrate it. However, one's own strength was related to the strength of the Law Treasure.

Meanwhile, in the heavens, the Ancestor Hongjun looked at the Law Treasure with a puzzled expression and said to Ao Changsheng:

"Fellow Daoist, do you know what that Law Treasure below is?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng smiled and said to Ancestor Hongjun, "I know, isn't that the Heaven and Earth Immeasurable Golden Bowl?"

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongjun looked at Ao Changsheng surprise and asked, "How do you know the name of this thing? Does it have some kind of origin?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng smiled sheepishly and said to Ancestor Hongjun:

"Because this thing is just a bowl that I dropped while I was eating."

Ancestor Hongjun felt helpless after hearing what Ao Changsheng said, and then said to Ao Changsheng:

"Why did you insist on throwing this thing down? Look at how difficult it was for him to get out now. If something else happens, who can bear the responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Changsheng ignored Ancestor Hongjun and continued reading after a short while.

Just then, the star drilled for a long time, but couldn't find a single crack; it seemed to grow from flesh and skin.

After a long time, the constellation finally became exhausted, Sun Wukong continued to persuade it, saying:

"Please don't stop, we're almost there!"

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, that constellation gritted its teeth and continued to drill inside, while the remaining twenty-seven constellations pushed it from behind.

After a short while, they finally managed to drill through the golden bowl.

Sun Wukong touched the Law Artifact associated with the constellation and said softly:

"Great immortal, please bear with me for a moment. I'll drill a hole in your Law Artifact with my Jingu Bang, and then I'll go out along with Law Artifact."

Sun Wukong said such things because the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions and their Law Artifact were inextricably linked; if the Law Artifact were damaged, the constellations would also die.

A short while later, Sun Wukong used his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) to drill a hole in the star's magical Law Artifact. Sun Wukong shrunk to the size of a mung bean, squeezed the hole in, and shouted:

"My lord, please take me out now. I'm all ready."
