Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

They are all Grand Immortals of the Primordial Chaos, and they are the strongest beings in this world. These two things have been indispensable to them since the moment they appeared.

If you were to ask anyone in this world who could live without seeking fame or fortune, the answer would probably be no one at all who could so readily say, "I can!"

Seeing the dragon's overjoyed expression, Sun Wukong knew that his answer had satisfied the dragon, so he asked in return, "Brother, since you've asked me two questions, shouldn't you answer me one as well?"

The evil dragon was probably too happy that he had found Jin Chanzi today, and even more so, that he had found Sun Wukong to be his brother.

"Oh? Well then, brother, tell me, what do you want me to do?" The evil dragon looked at Sun Wukong with interest. If he were in human form, you could tell that this guy was grinning from ear to ear.

Since Sun Wukong emerged from Li Xiuyuan's fiery world, his mind has become much sharper, and he has controlled his temperament very well, almost like a great general.

Sun Wukong said, "Brother, the third thing I want you to do is the third thing you were just about to ask me."

Although the evil dragon had asked Sun Wukong about these three things, it had only managed to recall the first two of the three questions its father had posed to it thousands of years ago. The third question, however, was something it truly couldn't recall.

The evil dragon asked, "Do you know what this third thing is?"

At this moment, the evil dragon was very surprised, extremely surprised, unprecedentedly surprised, because he was now genuinely starting to believe that Sun Wukong could give him a satisfactory answer.

Actually, Sun Wukong knew absolutely nothing about these three things before he came to Hell. But after experiencing so much, and especially after spending time in Li Xiuyuan's virtual world, he came to understand many of life's philosophies.

For some reason, Sun Wukong didn't forget Li Xiuyuan's last words when he released them from the virtual world.

It's not that he doesn't want to forget, it's that he can't forget. If Tang Sanzang were to talk to him about profound principles or ask him to recite scriptures normally, he would definitely only remember it for six and a half seconds. Why do I say six and a half seconds?

This was actually because one time when the four of them were reading the scriptures, the Buddha asked them to do so, so the four of them calmed down and looked at the great scriptures.

Of course, when it comes to this scripture, Tang Sanzang is naturally the best, Sha Wujing is second, and even Sun Wukong wouldn't want to be the last one, Zhu Bajie. Whoever is last will be ridiculed to no end.

But when it was Sun Wukong's turn, he really couldn't utter a single word. To encourage this disobedient monkey, Tang Sanzang said, "I'll give you one more chance to watch it."

Sun Wukong had no choice but to take out the scripture again and read it through with all his might. After closing the book with great confidence, he began to recite it. However, he did not expect that he could only say six words in six and a half seconds. No matter what he did, he just couldn't say the last word. Thus, he got the title, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, Wukong Liu Six and a Half Seconds".

However, Sun Wukong spoke as if he were a different person: "Brother, in my opinion, there are three things in life. The first two are all things that people are trapped in. The third thing is something that anyone who can do is something else!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong gave a thumbs-up to express his admiration.

"First, for fame; second, for profit; and third, because I'm happy. These three represent the highest realm of life."

Chapter 954 Is this old man really that powerful?

Listening to Sun Wukong's words, the evil dragon began to mutter to himself once more. He could say that he had seen through this first thing from birth until he was several hundred years old. At that time, it was no longer about fame!

As for the second matter, I saw through it when I was a thousand years old. Fame and fortune in this world are like shackles, and these invisible shackles have imprisoned many people together.

As for the third matter, the old man had been pondering it deeply. He wondered what his father meant by saying those words to him but not finishing them.

Today, I happened to meet Sun Wukong, and since our personalities align, it was as if someone had seen through my dreams. The answer I had been waiting for all this time had finally come to me.

"I say, Monkey, you say I've achieved fame and fortune today, but this third thing, because I'm willing, is probably not so simple, is it?" The evil dragon looked at Sun Wukong and voiced his doubts.

When Sun Wukong heard his older brother ask this question, he replied, "My willingness is not just about these three words on the surface. If that's really the case, then I, Old Sun, can say that I have accomplished these three things in life, and I will have no regrets even if I die."

Jin Chanzi felt that Sun Wukong's tone of voice sounded a lot like his own, but there were some differences. Even he himself hadn't thought of these three things in life just now, so the monkey probably wasn't influenced by him.

He continued to listen silently. Sun Wukong continued, "What I mean by being open-minded, having the world in my heart, being content and at peace with the world."

Evil Dragon: "Well done, so content! Monkey, you've accomplished all three things. If so, I admire your magnanimity."

Sun Wukong chuckled sheepishly: "Haha, brother, you're giving me too much credit. Who am I? How could I have reached such a level? Even my master, Jin Chanzi, probably didn't achieve this level of perfection."

Jin Chanzi nodded. As a monk, he did not lie, and he readily admitted this.

The evil dragon was puzzled: "If the people here really haven't done what you say, then tell me, who else in this world can you admire so much?"

Sun Wukong had already guessed that this guy would ask him this question, so he pretended to be profound and inscrutable, whetting his appetite.

The guys in the Demonic Sect couldn't stand it anymore. "Damn it, are they treating us like we're invisible when we're still here?" they thought. "What nonsense are these two spouting?"

The Six-Eared Macaque couldn't sit still any longer: "Hey, can't you guys just watch the show properly? Stop chattering on the sidelines and don't you know how to respect these two?"

At this moment, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor had already used his four defensive systems—wind wall, rain array, lightning protection, and electric screen—to prepare this final move and secure his place in the world.

However, the seemingly resigned monk was actually thinking about how to break through these four troublesome barriers every single minute. Time seemed to drag on endlessly, or rather, every second felt like a month!

The Antarctic Immortal Emperor was very fortunate that his defenses had not been broken by this guy, and he was also able to complete the chanting of "Nine Heavenly Thunders" as he wished.

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor, who suddenly burst into laughter, looked at the warrior monk's disheveled appearance.

"I say, your Buddhist sect's days are numbered, aren't they? This first arrogant brat, I'll take care of him for you."

After speaking, he glanced at the Demonic Sect, as if to say, "Although I, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, am quite old, my power is still sufficient. If you dare to underestimate me again, you will have to pay a price!"

The Six-Eared Macaque didn't think so. Although the old man was very powerful, so far he had only shown his defensive abilities, not his offensive ones. Therefore, the Six-Eared Macaque, who had no sense of judgment, was dismissive and thought that as long as he went up, he could definitely beat the old man to a pulp.

The Red-bottomed Macaque can be considered the most powerful being here, and its eyesight is extraordinary, which the Six-Eared Macaque cannot see through. The Antarctic Longevity Emperor has never focused his energy on defense from the beginning. Defense is only a part of him. He had already laid the groundwork for this at the beginning.

Because these nine bolts of heavenly lightning were in hell, they made no sound. However, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as no one noticed this, which gave the Antarctic Longevity Emperor so much time to prepare. Because the power was so great, it took even longer to prepare.

If someone were to encounter someone who could break through the four protective barriers of wind, rain, lightning, and electricity, then the Antarctic Longevity Emperor's move would be of little use.

An old man would not be able to withstand such close-quarters combat if he were attacked. Fortunately, the Buddhist monks sent out this martial monk, who was not a pushover. However, his only fatal flaw was that his greatest strength was his defense, not his offense. Therefore, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was the first to step forward because he knew that his plan could be realized and that he could defeat this man.

After a long period of thought and preparation, the monks finally discovered the weaknesses of the four defenses: the wind wall, the rain formation, the lightning shield, and the electric screen. The key lies in the fact that these four defenses are intertwined and mutually supportive, forming a perfect barrier by showcasing their respective strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, the most important thing to break through this barrier is to defeat all four defenses in one fell swoop.

It's easier said than done. Although the monks at this point have figured out the tricks of the trade, one can imagine how much strength it would take to actually do it.

Fighting!!!

Chapter 955 This monkey wants to be a strategist!

Firstly, the wind wall of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor is the first barrier. It combines the properties of the wind element, appearing and disappearing, making it difficult to pinpoint its weakness.

If it were a metal or steel object, the monks could still use their strength to break it, but the wind wall has no foothold, which is the first major difficulty.

Secondly, the ensuing rain shower served to confuse the enemy, as the trap of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor was hidden within the rain.

If this monk is lucky enough to break through the first line of defense, he might accidentally fall into the trap. The trap in the rain may seem insignificant, but it is deadly.

Thirdly, the third gift is Lei Bao, but this Lei Bao is naturally not as domineering as the final grand gift prepared by the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

Although the lightning at this moment is weaker than the heavenly lightning, its power is still considerable. It would only take a second to char this guy. Unless you have invincible defense, it would be very difficult to cross this domain.

Fourth, as the final electric screen, it can be considered the last line of defense, but it can also be considered the first line of defense, because the role of the electric screen here is to make up for the shortcomings of the previous three lines.

If the Antarctic Immortal Emperor wants to trap his opponent, he needs to combine the three defenses mentioned earlier. However, there must be a turning point to act as an intermediary.

If any of the defenses malfunctions, this electric screen can take its place first, buying enough time to repair the vulnerabilities. Then, the four defenses can be combined into a final defense. This is the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning that the Antarctic Longevity Emperor has comprehended over the past thousand years.

At this moment, although the monk had thought of a way to break the spell, he was at a loss because he knew his strength was still insufficient. The Antarctic Longevity Emperor, seeing that this guy was of little use to him, laughed and said, "You rascal, since you're the one who sticks out, you need to be suppressed. Now I'll give you a chance."

When the monk heard the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, who had been silent all along, suddenly speak to him, he raised his head and looked at him, saying, "What exactly do you mean? Although I cannot break through your defenses for the time being, I will never allow you to look down on me or insult me ​​like this."

The Antarctic Immortal Emperor: "Hehe, is that so? Well then, I've prepared a grand gift for you. I wonder if you can accept it?"

The Antarctic Longevity Emperor, with a wicked grin, spoke to the dejected martial monk as if he had already won the first round.

The evil dragon could no longer bear to see its brother being humiliated like this, and once again a tremendous dragon roar resounded throughout every inch of this Stone-Pressing Hell.

As he spoke, the evil dragon was about to step forward and stand up for his brother. He had never suffered such injustice in thousands of years, and he could not bear to see his brother being bullied like this.

Just as Xie Long was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by someone. Originally, this should have been Jin Chanzi's job. Every time his teammates' morale was unstable, it was Jin Chanzi who would step in. This kind-hearted but also annoying person.

If you run into a disobedient teammate, there's really nothing you can do. You can't exactly fight your own people, but sometimes when you're faced with someone who won't listen to reason, that domineering speechlessness is just so frustrating.

Fortunately, the guy who stood in front of the evil dragon this time was not Jin Chanzi!

Seeing this familiar figure, Xie Long said with dissatisfaction, "My good brother, what are you doing? Are you trying to stop your old brother?"

That's right, this person is indeed Sun Wukong, who was just discussing life with the evil dragon. I don't know what's wrong with this guy today. His brain is really not like his usual blockhead. If it were in the past, it would be this guy's impulsiveness causing trouble. Then Jin Chanzi earnestly advised Sun Wukong.

If you can persuade them, then it's fine, but if they don't listen, their temperament is really stubborn!

Sun Wukong looked at this guy who was dozens of times bigger than himself and still said, "Old brother, listen to me."

"What do you want to say? If you're really here to stop me, then there's no need to say anything. I absolutely cannot watch my brother be suppressed like this today." The Evil Dragon looked at the Antarctic Longevity Emperor with disdain and said, "What kind of guy is this to dare to bully my martial monk like this?"

Sun Wukong slowly opened his mouth and said, "I know."

"What do you know?!" The evil dragon interrupted Sun Wukong before he could utter another word.

Sun Wukong was completely bewildered and speechless. How could this guy be so... But then he remembered that he must have been like this before. Thinking back, he realized that he had been dissuaded by his master, Jin Chanzi, time and time again.

Those who haven't been mothers truly don't know how hard it is to be one. At this moment, Sun Wukong finally understood the hardships his master, Jin Chanzi, had endured over the past few hundred years.

Sun Wukong glanced at Jin Chanzi and seemed to say, "Master, I can now understand what it feels like to play the lute to a cow. This feeling is really not flattering."

Jin Chanzi seemed to sense what Sun Wukong wanted to say, and looked hesitant, as if to say, "It's alright. This is a step that everyone has to take and experience. Just do what you want to do, and everything else will be fine."

Sun Wukong understood Jin Chanzi's advice and felt extremely excited. He realized that he would no longer be a reckless and impulsive person. Such a person was destined to be nothing more than a military general. Under Li Xiuyuan's guidance, Sun Wukong was to become a person who was both brave and resourceful, a dragon among men!

Chapter 956 Crossing the Tribulation of Lightning!

Sun Wukong said, "My dear brother, don't get excited, listen to me. This monk is not only your brother, but also our brother, you know that?"

The evil dragon originally wanted to refute something, but after hearing Sun Wukong's words, he was too embarrassed to say anything else. He suppressed his impatience and continued to look at Sun Wukong.

Seeing the old dragon's expression, Sun Wukong knew that the dragon had taken his words to heart, and he felt somewhat relieved. The most difficult thing is getting the other person to listen to you; the next step is simply to convey your thoughts to them.

Sun Wukong said, "Brother, today's battle is no longer a personal grudge between us and them. It has long represented a struggle between Buddhism, the Demonic Sect, and the Heavenly Palace."

At this point, the evil dragon's expression calmed down considerably once again.

Sun Wukong continued, "Although this monk, as he appears now, is no match for this old man, we cannot intervene. The agreement for this battle was already made: one-on-one. Have you forgotten?"

Perhaps this promise doesn't seem like a big deal to others, but among these Primordial Chaos Immortals, it's a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold.

It seemed that the evil dragon had remembered the source of this matter, and by this time, most of his impulse had been eliminated.
