Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 22 [The Peach Banquet: The Four Monkeys Gather]

Click!

The path of cultivation is inherently a path of breaking free from shackles. Now, as Xuan Yin comprehends the mysteries of this world, this world can no longer restrict his path to enlightenment.

"Reality, illusion..."

He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Isn't the True Immortal realm simply about seeing through illusions, refining falsehoods into truth, and being able to define rules within a certain range?"

"Once you break through the illusion of this world and become a true immortal, it will almost be a natural outcome!"

At this moment, Xuan Yin, although still a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos in this realm, is already able to mobilize a portion of the power of the Dao Fruit and, with the help of the Dao Fruit, see through the illusion of this realm!
"But it's not enough!"

"While the profound principles of cultivation contained in this world can be considered unparalleled creation, the existence of the Chaos Demon Ape is indispensable!"

Xuan Yin knew that in this world, the will of his grandmaster was the will of Heaven, and if he wanted to influence the will of a Heavenly Saint and dispel illusions, he had to master a Saint-level technique!

What he can currently access is the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Ape, which not only makes him unparalleled in combat but also grants him the Golden Eyes of Truth-Seeing that can glimpse the true nature of the Great Dao.

Wuzhiqi had the Fiery Eyes of Truth, and Sun Wukong could also acquire them by going through the Eight Trigrams Furnace. However, while the so-called Fiery Eyes of Truth are somewhat mysterious, they can only be considered an incomplete version of the Golden Eyes of Truth!

This is far from enough to break through the illusion of this world!

Only when the four chaotic monkeys return to their original origin or work together can they evolve into the true form of the Chaotic Demon Ape and thus cultivate the true Golden Eyes of Truth!

Before, Xuan Yin would have thought of killing the other three monkeys and seizing their origin, but after his cultivation at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, he changed his mind and prepared to unite the other three monkeys!
Otherwise, one's conscience would be guilty!
The path of the Jie Sect is to seize a glimmer of life for all living beings. Even if he knows that everything in this world is an illusion created by sages, if he cuts off the glimmer of life for Sun Wukong and others for his own selfish reasons, it would be a violation of the Jie Sect and his own path!
He will not do it!

At the moment of his enlightenment, Sun Wukong wielded his Ruyi Jingu Bang, displaying great power and defeating the Four Heavenly Kings and others, who fled in terror.

His body is in harmony with the will of Heaven, and as long as his Daoist heart remains steadfast, he is invincible within the same realm.

The Jade Emperor naturally noticed this as well, and immediately gave Venus a wink.

Taibai Jinxing understood immediately and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Wukong is incredibly powerful. It is indeed inappropriate for him to continue serving as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses! Why not grant his wish and bestow upon him the title of 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'? He will only be granted no official rank or salary!"

The Heavenly Court's bottom line is still quite flexible. Suppressing demons is one thing, but the cost is too high. They can also choose to grant amnesty to those demons.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately nodded: "Then let it be as you say, my dear Minister Taibai! However, I will have to trouble you to make another trip for this matter!"

Therefore, Venus, carrying the Jade Emperor's decree, left the South Heavenly Gate and came to Flower Fruit Mountain to bestow an imperial edict and invest Sun Wukong.

A major battle ended in a dismal fashion!

Meanwhile, Xuan Yin, hiding in the shadows, followed Sun Wukong to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Palace.

After ascending to heaven, Sun Wukong idled away his days, making friends with immortals and gods everywhere, but he did not forget the things that Xuan Yin had told him in advance.

On this day, he invited Yuan Hong, the Four Wasted Star Lord, to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Mansion.

"What business does the Great Sage have with me?"

As one of the Four Mischievous Monkeys, Yuan Hong naturally felt a special affinity for Sun Wukong.

"Third Brother, you're being too polite!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong seized the opportunity and put his arm around Yuan Hong's shoulder, saying, "You are the Long-Armed Ape, while I am the Spiritual Stone Monkey! We are both among the Four Chaotic Monkeys, so we are brothers from the same root!"

“I have an elder brother named Gu Yue Fang Yuan. He was born from a six-eared macaque and is currently managing the Huai River Water Palace for our eldest brother, Wu Zhi Qi!”

“Since we are brothers, we should naturally keep in touch more often!” Yuan Hong was startled. Although he had a good cultivation level and had become a Grand Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos, he had never heard of the so-called Four Monkeys of Chaos, nor did he know that he had three brothers.

However, the aura emanating from Sun Wukong, which shared the same origin, was genuine.

"Third Brother!"

"Fourth brother!"

The two monkeys were both very affectionate and sincere. After a brief exchange, they quickly became acquainted and often competed in martial arts and supernatural powers in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's mansion.

Xuan Yin also found an opportunity to meet with Yuan Hong.

During this time, he did not stay in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Palace, but instead searched for opportunities everywhere. The greatest opportunities in the Heavenly Court were undoubtedly the Peach Garden and the Tushita Palace above the Thirty-Three Heavens!

A peach of immortality and a golden elixir are both treasures that can rapidly increase one's cultivation level!

However, with the Peach Banquet approaching, he didn't take any initiative to do anything!
As the Water Official Emperor, Wuzhiqi will definitely attend the Peach Banquet. Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong are also in the Heavenly Court now. When the four monkeys gather together, they will naturally give the Heavenly Court a surprise.

During this time, he mainly focused on understanding the methods and magical artifacts of those top masters, so as to avoid suffering a great loss when fighting them in the future!
Fate is fickle and the will of Heaven is unpredictable. After discovering that Sun Wukong was too leisurely every day and making friends with immortals and gods, the Jade Emperor assigned him the task of guarding the Peach Garden. It is unknown whether this was a trap or not.

Anyway...

If Xuan Yin were the Heavenly Emperor, it would be absolutely impossible for him to let a monkey guard the Peach Garden!

Time flies, and the day of the Peach Banquet arrived in the blink of an eye. Sun Wukong learned from the Seven Fairy Maidens that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother had not invited him to the Peach Banquet.

However, although he was very angry, he did not act rashly. Instead, he contacted Xuan Yin to see how Xuan Yin would make him decide.
Just do what you feel comfortable doing!

Xuan Yin did not stop Sun Wukong. Instead, he took Yuan Hong and, together with Sun Wukong, began to consume the peaches in the Peach Garden.

Without further ado, Wuzhiqi emerged from seclusion, received an invitation to the Peach Banquet, and, having received the message left by Xuan Yin, promptly and secretly arrived at the Peach Garden.

The four mischievous monkeys have now gathered together!
Xuan Yin immediately asked, "How is the refining of the water veins progressing, brother?"

Wuzhiqi replied, "It went fairly smoothly. The water veins of the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the Eastern Continent are all under my control! The Western Continent is the territory of Buddhism, and the Four Seas are occupied by the Dragon Clan, so it's a bit difficult for me to make a move there!"

Xuan Yin immediately nodded: "The land of the three continents is already enough. If we were to open up the Heavenly River, the Water Element Great Dao of the lower realm would become even stronger!"

Xuan Yin said these words in front of Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong. During his time in Heaven, he had completely convinced the two of them.

He even revealed to Sun Wukong the general details of how Sun Wukong was tricked.

Sun Wukong was naturally furious.

Upon hearing that Sun Wukong had been tricked, Yuan Hong was also filled with righteous indignation and decisively stated that he could join Xuan Yin's plan.

With the four monkeys working together in harmony, a wondrous Daoist aura suddenly manifested within their primordial spirits.

That was a phantom image of a demonic ape!
"This……"

Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong trembled at the sight, and even Wuzhiqi couldn't help but bow down and worship the phantom of the demonic ape.

This is suppression from the very source of one's bloodline!

Xuan Yin relied on the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit to suppress his mind, so he wasn't in such a bad state, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal his awe of the Chaos Demon Ape.

He looked at the other three monkeys and said excitedly, "This is an opportunity that belongs only to us!"
