500 years ago, Sun Wukong and the Nine Luminaries once fought, and not just once. When the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King besieged Flower-Fruit Mountain, they had a fight. When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in Heaven, they fought again. The result of both battles was that Sun Wukong easily defeated the Nine Luminaries.

Over these 500 years, the Nine Luminaries have devoted themselves to intense cultivation, creating new formations and investing countless efforts, all to seek revenge this time. The new formation indeed lived up to expectations, making Sun Wukong dizzy and temporarily unable to break through it.

Tang Sen sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes gathering divine power, fully focused on the battle. He saw the Nine Luminaries constantly circling around Wukong. Occasionally, their moves would hit her, but fortunately, the Nine Luminaries' strength was still a bit inferior to Erlang Shen. Although the formation was exquisite, its offensive power was insufficient. Despite hitting Sun Wukong multiple times, they did not wound her body, only tearing many holes in her leopard-print dress.

Sun Wukong, enraged, swung her staff with a whistling sound, but the Nine Luminaries kept circling around her, making it impossible to hit them.

Tang Sen knew that this way of fighting was not a solution. Even if Sun Wukong could take a lot of hits, she would inevitably get injured if hit too many times. As her injuries accumulated, she would eventually fall. The White Dragon's combat power was low, and the Black Bear Spirit was completely restrained by the Fire Deity, unable to contribute much. If he didn't step up and help Sun Wukong break through the formation, they would be in big trouble, and the only option left would be to call Guanyin.

Tang Sen didn't like calling Guanyin; it felt like a losing student going to the teacher to complain, which was not cool. Fighting should be won by oneself, and those who complain to the teacher are just losers. Last time, when Guanyin left, she said she had many things to do and couldn't be called at any time, so they should try to rely on themselves as much as possible.

Focusing on the Nine Luminaries' steps, he saw nine figures weaving and flying, but he couldn't figure out how their formation was set up.

Just as Tang Sen was racking his brain for a solution, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was his mother. Tang Sen couldn't help but sweat: "Hey, Mom, what's up?"

Mom said, "Xiao Sen Sen, the stove at home won't light up. It seems the battery is dead. Where can I buy this kind of battery?"

Tang Sen was at a loss: "The stove uses AA batteries. After you go downstairs, turn left, walk fifty meters, and there's a small supermarket where you can buy AA batteries... Oh, by the way, this supermarket has a quirk; it doesn't open on Mondays. Today happens to be Monday, so you'll have to go tomorrow."

"Monday? Oh, it's Monday." Mom hung up the phone.

Tang Sen's mother, due to her severe homebody tendencies, often couldn't tell what day it was. Additionally, after playing too many games, her way of calculating the days of the week was different from ordinary people. Her Monday was "Moon Day," Tuesday was "Fire Day," Wednesday was "Water Day," and so on.

Reminded by his mother's "Moon Day," Tang Sen's mind suddenly cleared. Hmm? His mother's way of calculating the days of the week was the Seven Luminaries. Before the new calendar was introduced, people in the old society used the Seven Luminaries to calculate the days of the week. The other two luminaries, Ketu and Rahu, were outside the Seven Luminaries system and were considered malevolent stars.

Tang Sen's thoughts expanded. As his thoughts unfolded, the Nine Luminaries' formation became clear to him. It turned out that the Five Luminaries (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) were the core of the formation, guided by the Sun and Moon, forming a seven-person formation. This seven-person formation attacked in a sequence similar to Monday to Sunday, but their attacks were all feints, used to restrain Sun Wukong.

The real killing moves came from the malevolent stars Ketu and Rahu!

To verify his idea, Tang Sen carefully observed the formation again. This time, he saw clearly that the Ketu and Rahu Luminaries did not participate in the formation but moved around, looking for opportunities to attack. The Sun and Moon Luminaries were the leaders of the formation, constantly rotating and repeating the process from Monday to Sunday, creating trouble for Sun Wukong, while Ketu and Rahu took the lead in the attacks.

Tang Sen laughed and drew the unnamed treasure sword he had taken from the heavenly soldiers, walking toward the battle.

"Hey, Brother Tang Sen, what are you going to do?" the White Dragon called out anxiously. "It's dangerous over there, don't go."

The Black Bear Spirit also called out, "You can't beat them."

Tang Sen smiled, "Ladies, shut up. This is a man's moment to shine."

"I'm not a woman, I'm a female bear!"

"I'm not a woman, I'm a female dragon!"

Tang Sen covered his face, "Hey, focus. I was just showing off, at least pretend to cooperate."

"Oh, I see." The Black Bear Spirit and the White Dragon put on a very admiring tone, "Brother Tang Sen, we can only rely on you. Go for it, and make sure to protect us."

Too fake!

These women.

Tang Sen, with a mix of laughter and frustration, walked to the edge of the battle...

The White Dragon and the Black Bear Spirit didn't believe he could do anything, but they saw Tang Sen muttering, "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... Sunday, good, one cycle..."

At this point, Tang Sen suddenly took a big step forward.

Strangely, the Nine Luminaries' formation, which seemed impenetrable, allowed Tang Sen to easily step into the battle, as if the formation had opened a door for him. The formation then closed, looking as perfect as before.

The White Dragon and the Black Bear Spirit were stunned.

Tang Sen effortlessly entered the battle, and the Nine Luminaries did not attack him. He easily walked to Sun Wukong's back and stood back-to-back with her.

Sun Wukong was surprised, "How did you get in?"

Tang Sen smiled, "I'm here to help!"

"You don't have much divine power. How can you help me?" Sun Wukong said angrily. "Be careful not to get hurt."

Tang Sen smiled, "Not necessarily. We'll see after a couple of rounds."

"Here they come!"

The Fire Deity shot a ball of fire at them. Tang Sen waved his hand, channeling divine power into his arm. With his limited divine power, it was impossible to directly confront the Fire Deity, but he knew the Fire Deity wasn't using full strength. All his moves were just feints to restrain Sun Wukong, containing very little divine power.

Sure enough, when Tang Sen waved his arm, the ball of fire was extinguished.

Sun Wukong was slightly stunned. The Water Deity then shot a water ball at her. She was about to block it with her staff when Tang Sen called out, "I'll take care of this..." He thrust his sword forward, piercing the water ball and stirring it lightly, causing it to explode into a shower of water droplets that fell to the ground.

The Nine Luminaries were all shocked, and the formation momentarily slowed. Tang Sen leaped up and swung his sword at the Sun Deity, who was responsible for the formation's operation.

The Sun Deity had no time to deal with Tang Sen, as his attention was entirely on maintaining the formation. As the most important array eye of the Seven Luminaries, he had no spare energy for anything else. Seeing Tang Sen charge at him, he casually waved his treasure mirror, releasing a blinding golden light to dazzle Tang Sen and make him lose his composure.

However, Tang Sen had already prepared and put on a pair of sunglasses...

"Damn, you're cheating!" The Sun Deity was furious, hurriedly trying to use a second move, but Tang Sen was already in front of him. The Sun Deity was caught off guard and couldn't shift his focus from Sun Wukong to deal with Tang Sen in time. With a "puh" sound, Tang Sen's sword pierced the Sun Deity's chest.

The divine powers collided. Tang Sen's divine power was ultimately inferior to that of the ancient deity. The sword tip stopped a few inches into the flesh, unable to penetrate the Sun Deity's protective divine power.

The Sun Deity roared, "Hey, ignorant child, with your meager power, you dare to act recklessly before me?"

Tang Sen rolled on the ground, got up, and patted his buttocks, smiling, "Hey, you're angry? Good... You're not focusing on the formation anymore, right? Are you sure you can fully concentrate on me? Don't forget about Sun Wukong."
