I am a fox in the prehistoric times

The only thing that puzzled Bai Zhen was that although this monkey was exuding the aura of the Great God Pangu, its origin came from the Chaos Demon Ape, and its bloodline did not contain a trace of the Great God Pangu's bloodline!

Besides, although this monkey only has the physical strength of an Earth Immortal, it contains a terrifying accumulation within its body that is enough to burst a Golden Immortal!

Bai Zhen estimated that as long as he could obtain a cultivation technique, even if it was not very compatible with him, he would be able to raise his strength to the level of a Golden Immortal within a few years!

Without hesitation, Bai Zhen used his formidable strength to conduct a thorough examination of the monkey, addressing the questions directly!

After some testing, Bai Zhen also observed the deeply hidden power of the Heavenly Dao and realized that the monkey had been under the Heavenly Dao's scheme all along!

After careful study, Bai Zhen understood that this monkey differed from the original in many ways! Because in this lifetime, the Zhou Mountain did not collapse, and naturally, Nuwa would not have mended the sky with stones!

Naturally, the monkey couldn't benefit from the merit of mending the heavens, and his fortune was naturally less than in the original trajectory. In this life, the monkey's fortune came from two aspects: firstly, the basic fortune bestowed upon all living beings in the primordial world, and secondly, the fortune granted to the child of calamity by the Heavenly Dao!

The first part of his luck can only be taken away if the monkey does something reckless, while the second part of his luck is mainly used to help the monkey turn bad luck into good and ensure that he does not die before the journey to the West is completed!

As for when his mission is completed, the second part of his fortune will return to the Heavenly Dao. With only the first part of his fortune, he can only be guaranteed to live like a normal innate being, honestly enduring the years and increasing his cultivation.

If he wanted to continue living as freely as he did during the time when he was blessed with destiny, he shouldn't even think about it, since the prehistoric world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.

The monkey will be protected by the Heavenly Dao until it completes its mission. As long as the monkey doesn't go too far, the powerful beings will turn a blind eye and let the matter pass!

But once his mission is complete, Heaven will no longer protect him. If he dares to act recklessly again, he'll be lucky to escape being chopped into mincemeat!

Bai Zhen has already collected three of the Four Mischievous Monkeys. As for the Spiritual Stone Monkey, Bai Zhen thought about it and decided to give up. After all, the Spiritual Stone Monkey is one of the core figures of the Western Great Prosperity. Taking him under his wing would only cause trouble for himself!

After making this decision, Bai Zhen stopped paying attention to the spirit stone monkey. However, before leaving, Bai Zhen left a backup plan on him.

This is to ensure that if the monkeys provoke an unassailable opponent in the future and are beaten to death, this backup plan will promptly notify Bai Zhen, allowing him to collect the essence of the Spirit Stone Monkey and distribute it to the three monkeys led by Liu Er, thus improving their cultivation aptitude!

……

Since the end of the Investiture of the Gods, the calamity and evil energy in the world have dissipated, and the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect have also ushered in a period of explosive growth in their cultivation, and one by one they have begun to improve their own cultivation!

Guang Chengzi, in particular, reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint with remarkable ease after the Investiture of the Gods ended. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough merit to borrow the Qiankun Cauldron to refine a second innate spiritual treasure, he might have been able to raise his cultivation to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

After all, he was stuck at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for so long, so it was only natural that he would eventually unleash his full potential. If he were still stuck at the early Quasi-Saint stage, that would truly be an injustice of the Heavenly Dao!

As time passed, even Huanglong Zhenren, who had the weakest cultivation among the Twelve Golden Immortals and was burdened by karma, making it difficult for him to improve his cultivation after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, made some progress.

However, after Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Julusun broke through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they dared not continue to improve their cultivation!

The reason why these four people dared not break through their cultivation level was actually quite simple: they had never heard the two Western Saints preach, and they were practicing the orthodox Chan Sect cultivation method that Yuanshi Tianzun had specially tailored for them!
