Chased by two strange creatures, the sun was so scared it pissed itself, sprinting forwards like it was flying.
Before it even reached midday, the sun had set.
Seeing the sky darken, Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Junior Brother, did you see how the sun fled in such a panic!"
Sun Wukong shook his head: "It's a pity we didn't catch up to it."
"What's there to worry about? It already gave it everything it's got!"
Immortal Zhenyuan set Kua Fu down on the ground and said: "We weren't well-prepared today; we'll definitely catch it tomorrow."
That's what he said, but come the next day, there was still no sign of the sun.
It was hiding.
Immortal Zhenyuan was furious: "That little punk is really tarnishing the sun's reputation, not daring to show up."
"I'll go provoke it to come out!"
He climbed a tall mountain and started hurling abuse toward the direction where the sun disappeared.
Sun Wukong didn't believe this tactic would coax the sun out.
Days passed without a sign of the sun, and Immortal Zhenyuan's throat went hoarse from the cursing, so he found some loud-voiced demons nearby to take turns swearing.
Two days later, a voice suddenly rang from the horizon.
"You are the cowards, doesn't the sun need rest?"
Following that, bright sunlight shone from the east.
"Junior Brother, I told you it would work!"
With great delight, Immortal Zhenyuan again lifted Kua Fu with Sun Wukong and chased after the sun.
The sun, seething with fury, thought as it fled: If I can't outrun you, can't I just roast you to death?
It immediately released True Fire, directing it at the two pursuers.
As soon as the True Fire touched them, it blazed fiercely, burning away the hard-grown hair on Immortal Zhenyuan's head.
Sun Wukong also caught some of the True Fire and struggled immensely to put it out.
"This fire is truly extraordinary."
He thought to himself.
The sun is still the sun after all, its flames are even more fearsome than Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad's Alchemy Fire.
Immortal Zhenyuan, who hadn't fully recovered his immortal power, couldn't withstand the True Sun Fire. He slowed down his pursuit of the sun and said: "Junior Brother, we can use Kua Fu to block the True Fire!"
Sun Wukong immediately remembered.
Before they left the mountains, the old Giant had told them that after years of cultivation, Kua Fu could withstand the True Sun Fire.
Sun Wukong immediately worked together with Immortal Zhenyuan, using Kua Fu to shield themselves from the True Fire.
The True Fire assaulted them from the sky, quickly burning away Kua Fu's clothing, but his flesh resisted it.
"It really works."
Sun Wukong thought, as he continued the pursuit with Immortal Zhenyuan.
Before long, a bizarre scene unfolded on the ground.
Two strange creatures, carrying a Giant with not a stitch of clothing, frantically chased the sun. Unfortunately, the sun was too fast and they couldn't catch up for several days.
Other creatures all kept their distance from them.
But after a few days, some realized that where Sun Wukong and his companions had passed, the ground was left with Immortal Energy, allowing flowers and grass to flourish.
Some creatures immediately had a thought: "Following behind them could benefit our cultivation."
These creatures began to run behind Sun Wukong and his companions.
As the news spread, more and more creatures followed.
When the sun saw this, it immediately panicked.
"It's over, it's over, why are more and more pursuing me!"
It couldn't help but exert all its power, flaring up its flames, radiating towards the earth.
The creatures following behind were burnt to charcoal and then one by one gave up the chase.
They could only watch as ahead—Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan continued to chase the sun.
"Who exactly are these two Immortals, to be so mighty?"
"Carrying the Giant and still chasing the sun, it's terrifying!"
The creatures looked at the shadows chasing the sun with a mixture of awe and fear.
Unknowingly, Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan had become very well-known.
Yet after several continuous days of chasing, they still hadn't caught the sun.
"That sun must have pulled a trick!"
Drenched in sweat, Immortal Zhenyuan cursed furiously: "It can't be running that fast."
"This dragging on is useless."
Sun Wukong said: "Let's put Kua Fu down first."
"He can still hold on, why put him down now?"
Immortal Zhenyuan asked.
"He's sweating too much."
Sun Wukong answered.
After the sun went full force, the sweat that Kua Fu shed pooled on the ground, forming a river.
At this rate, even if they could persist, Kua Fu would die of thirst.
"Don't worry, he can keep going!"
Immortal Zhenyuan said, waving his long sleeves and swirling up the surrounding river water, pouring it into Kua Fu's mouth.
The pair continued to run, with Immortal Zhenyuan frantically hydrating Kua Fu. Amid the glugging noises, Kua Fu's body was constantly losing water, but it was also being replenished.
Two days later.
"It won't do!"
Sun Wukong said: "He can't hold on, he's about to completely dry up."
Although Immortal Zhenyuan kept rehydrating Kua Fu, his skin couldn't absorb it in time and it still dried out, emitting a charred smell.
"He may be dried out a bit, but in my opinion, he can still hold on."
Immortal Zhenyuan, rich with experience, said: "Until his body hair is burnt off, it's not truly the limit."
No sooner had he spoken, than a tuft of singed hair flew past.
"It seems it's no use after all!"
Kua Fu's body hair was completely burned away.
The two had no choice but to carry him back to their tribe.
