My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Judging from the level of combat and the matters involved, the Six-Eared Macaque is not even in the same league as the other three.

Wuzhiqi wreaked havoc on the Huai River, causing a great flood. His enemy was Yu the Great, one of the Five Emperors.

The gibbon Yuan Hong even participated in the Investiture of the Gods war, hindering King Wu's conquest of King Zhou. He was only captured when Yang Jian borrowed the Mountain and River Map from the sage Nuwa, and was later killed with the help of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

Although Sun Wukong, the Stone Monkey, was tricked by gods and Buddhas, he still had some notable deeds, such as storming the underworld and tearing up the Book of Life and Death, causing havoc at the Peach Banquet, and making a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace.

And what about the six-eared macaque?

He doesn't even deserve a name, yet he still acts like the ethereal stone monkey Sun Wukong.

They have truly disgraced the Four Mischievous Apes.

However, this shows that it was not that the Four Mischievous Apes were weak, but rather that the Six-Eared Macaque had lost his spirit.

Zhao Xuan didn't know how to persuade someone who had lost his spirit for tens of millions of years, but when he found the Six-Eared Macaque through the same source aura as the Spirit Stone Monkey.

Zhao Xuan knew he no longer needed to try to awaken the Six-Eared Macaque's spirit, because the Six-Eared Macaque was already dead, having died tens of thousands of years ago.

In the mountains of Xiniu Hezhou, a thousand-foot-tall corpse lay silently, covered with marks of knife and axe blows, its face filled with resentment.

The mountains were filled with countless spiritual energy formations, and a man dressed as a Buddha was directing hundreds of Arhats, who were busy at work.

Zhao Xuan passed through the formation and possessed the thousand-foot-tall corpse, searching for any remaining information on it.

Ultimately, information revealed that the Six-Eared Macaque died after the Investiture of the Gods, and was not killed by Buddhism, or even by anyone else.

He killed himself because of betrayal and cowardice.

The Six-Eared Macaque was skilled at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and the future, and understanding all things. He died because of his own supernatural powers.

Because of its innate supernatural abilities, the Six-Eared Macaque knew from birth that it was one of the Four Chaotic Apes and had inherited the legacy of the Chaotic Demon Ape.

He thought he was too clever for his own good, believing that the legacy of the Chaos Demon God was not suitable for the primordial world, so he did not cultivate the legacy of the Chaos Demon Ape.

Therefore, from birth, he secretly listened to the teachings of great beings and pieced together various methods to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

When the Dao Ancestor preached at Zixiao Palace, which was located in the chaotic land and could not be traversed by anyone other than a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he realized his regret.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he attempted to use his innate supernatural powers to eavesdrop on the Dao Ancestor's teachings. However, with his cultivation at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, let alone whether he could understand the Dao Ancestor's teachings or be assimilated by the Great Dao, the erosion of his chaotic consciousness alone would be enough to backfire and cause his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

Therefore, the Taoist patriarch said: The Dharma is not to be passed on to six ears.

In reality, it saved the life of the Six-Eared Macaque.

However, the Six-Eared Macaque himself was already confused and could not discern the Dao Ancestor's intentions at all.

He then thought he had offended the Dao Ancestor, and became so dissolute that he hid in his cave and dared not go out.

This resulted in the waste of countless opportunities, causing him to remain stuck at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

When Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong, as the Four Primordial Apes, left a vivid mark on the world, the Six-Eared Macaque realized that the Four Primordial Apes were no weaker than humans, and that the vast primordial world could accommodate everyone.

That's why I started cultivating the Chaotic Demon Ape's legacy, but the Chaotic Demon Ape is a demon god who cultivates the laws of battle.

This lineage is like that of a general in an army, who is guilty of two evils: betraying his comrades and being cowardly and unwilling to advance.

The Six-Eared Macaque possessed a lineage but did not cultivate other paths, which was considered a betrayal.

Those who dared not leave their caves for millions of years were considered cowardly.

So when the Six-Eared Macaque had cultivated his inheritance and was preparing to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he underwent the three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man. In the illusion of the Earth Tribulation, the Six-Eared Macaque transformed into Wuzhiqi, rode the Huai River, and fought against Yu the Great.

Severely injured by Yu the Great's axe that split mountains, he even considered retreating.

Then, in the illusion of human tribulation, it turned into a battle between Yuan Hong and Yang Jian, and in the end, his mind was destroyed.

The Battle Laws, which should have been supporting its fight during this period, failed to respond to its call and assist it in combat.

When Zhao Xuan found the Battle Law inheritance within the Six-Eared Macaque's corpse, he discovered that it was also the fruition of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, compared to the Spiritual Stone Monkey, if the Spiritual Stone Monkey's status is that of an emperor, then the Six-Eared Macaque's status is like that of a beggar.

Zhao Xuan never imagined that the laws could have such a fierce character.

Although Zhao Xuan has always believed in animism, he cannot deny that some beings simply have their own instinctive likes and dislikes, without realizing that they truly experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness like humans.

Although the Six-Eared Macaque betrayed the Law of Battle, the fact that the Law of Battle did not respond to him during his tribulation was also a form of betrayal.

Therefore, this battle law damages its own spirituality and punishes itself.

If Zhao Xuan hadn't arrived, this Great Luo Golden Immortal level position would likely have shattered into three Taiyi Golden Immortal level positions, or even Golden Immortal level positions, after a while.

Zhao Xuan respected its fierceness and connected it with the laws of battle using the laws of the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Mythology, thus completing its spirituality.

They also inherited this battle law.

If the fighting principles passed down by the Spiritual Stone Monkey are about how to seize the advantage of timing and location in battle, then the fighting principles of the Six-Eared Macaque are about how to gather information and control the rhythm of the battle.

After absorbing the inheritance, Zhao Xuan did not forget to share it with the clone inside the Spirit Stone Monkey, merging the two laws.

Of course, he also kept an eye on Dipankara Buddha's every move.

Analysis revealed that the Buddhist sect discovered the corpse of the Six-Eared Macaque first, and then devised a strategy to weaken and then complete the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Although the Six-Eared Macaque died, the spirit within his body did not completely dissipate. Dipankara Buddha, who possessed the law of Nirvana, could gather the dissipated spirit of the Six-Eared Macaque and revive him.

Then they erase their own selves and become puppets of Buddhism.

The Buddhist community spared no expense in order to allow the Spiritual Stone Monkey to be reborn after its destruction.

Not only is the ancient Buddha Dipankara personally presiding over the gathering of spiritual energy.

They also obtained the essence and blood of the Long-Armed Ape and the Red-Bottomed Macaque, which were then incorporated into the corpse of the Six-Eared Macaque to help it recover.

If things proceed in this way, once Sun Wukong repairs his broken spiritual body and is rebuilt, it's not impossible that he will not only restore the legacy of the Spiritual Stone Monkey, but also, after being tempered by tribulation energy and baptized by merit, revert to the ancestral chaotic demonic ape body.

What an ingenious design! What an ambitious Buddhist sect!

He then happily began to analyze the essence and blood of the gibbon and the red-bottomed macaque.

Then, quite naturally, he received the other two inheritances of the Chaos Demon Ape.

The Red-Bottomed Macaque understands Yin and Yang, knows human affairs, is good at entering and exiting, avoids death and prolongs life. Its combat principles emphasize analyzing the situation, seizing opportunities, and preserving itself at the lowest cost.

The Long-Armed Ape can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, discern good and bad fortune, and manipulate the universe. Its combat principles emphasize seizing opportunities, launching fierce attacks, and expanding the spoils of war.

In addition, the Six-Eared Macaque is good at listening, can understand reason, know the past and the future, and understands all things. Its combat rules are inherited with an emphasis on collecting information and controlling the rhythm of battle.

The intelligent stone monkey is capable of transformation, understands the timing of the day and the advantages of the terrain, and can shift stars and change constellations. Its combat principles emphasize leveraging the timing of the day and the advantages of the terrain, borrowing strength to exert force, and gathering power.

The four elements correspond to the four elements of wind, forest, mountain, and fire in military strategy: the six-eared macaque represents wind, the red-bottomed macaque represents forest, the spiritual stone monkey represents mountain, and the long-armed ape represents fire.

It also subtly corresponds to the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. The spiritual stone monkey represents earth, the six-eared macaque represents wind, the red-bottomed macaque represents water, and the long-armed ape represents fire.

It perfectly embodies the principles of combat in the Battle Law.

Zhao Xuan discovered that the combat laws formed by the fusion of the four inheritances of the Chaos Demon Ape were countless times stronger than the war laws mastered by the Four Symbols of the Human Immortal Realm.

It can be said that the laws of war are merely subordinate laws to the laws of combat.

The Chaos Demon Ape's fighting laws are laws at the level of the Great Dao Laws. Once one has mastered all its mysteries, one becomes a Primordial Golden Immortal, equivalent to a Heavenly Dao Saint.

The complete laws were shared with the clone, allowing them to gradually merge into the spirituality of the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Zhao Xuan then began to absorb the Battle Law using the Mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal Law.

Myths are never short of battles: Kuafu chasing the sun, Houyi creating the sun, Jingwei filling the sea, Yu the Great controlling the floods, Yu Gong moving mountains... all demonstrate a spirit of fearlessness in the face of heaven and earth, and a willingness to fight against the elements.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan's Mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal Laws contain many laws related to combat, but the strength of the laws related to this in the Human Immortal Realm is somewhat low.

After Zhao Xuan was awakened by a fluctuation, the Mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal Law had successfully devoured the Battle Law, and he himself had reached 70% of the purple level.

Amidst a resounding "Wake up!" that sounded like a morning bell, Zhao Xuan opened his eyes.

Then I saw Dipankara Buddha sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, with a halo of merit above his head.

Then, Dipankara Buddha pointed his finger, and a cluster of memories appeared in Zhao Xuan's consciousness. After that, Dipankara Buddha turned into golden light and disappeared.

Zhao Xuan scoffed at the memory, which was a false memory created by the Buddha Dipankara. It was the story of a six-eared macaque named Sun Wukong who struggled to attain enlightenment but could not, died in a calamity, and was then saved and resurrected by the Buddha.

After that, there are three more inheritances: "The Great Celestial Immortal Technique", "The Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends", and "The Somersault Cloud".

Another message is that five hundred years from now, a person destined to become a Buddha will travel west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and upon success, will attain enlightenment.

There were also methods to teach him how to monitor Sun Wukong and how to substitute one thing for another.

Zhao Xuan looked at it and realized that this was just a way to lure the Six-Eared Macaque into finding a way to replace Sun Wukong.

Even the name is directly taken from Sun Wukong's name.

Following the script, Zhao Xuan first cultivated the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique", "Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends" and "Somersault Cloud", spending ten years in the process, and incidentally raising the aura of the Six-Eared Macaque to the peak level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Then he flew to Flower Fruit Mountain on his somersault cloud.

When Zhao Xuan flew to Flower Fruit Mountain, it was just the time when the Heavenly Court launched its first attack on Flower Fruit Mountain.

Zhao Xuan merged with the Six-Eared Macaque and sensed the fluctuation that awakened him. In fact, it was the fluctuation of Sun Wukong's four meetings with the Book of Life and Death, which erased the names of monkeys.

To make the performance complete, the spirit gathered from the corpse of the Six-Eared Macaque is not the same as the Six-Eared Macaque. Therefore, in order to completely take over its body, it can only be resurrected when Sun Wukong erases the name of the monkey.

Without records, others would not be able to discover the Six-Eared Macaque's disguise.

Zhao Xuan altered Sun Wukong's aptitude. Although Guanyin resealed him with willow leaves, he had already achieved the body of a human immortal and attained immortality.

Therefore, fearing matters of life and death made it difficult for them to cross the sea to cultivate, so they could only open Flower Fruit Mountain, which attracted the invasion of demons.

Although Sun Wukong had become an immortal, his spiritual senses were sealed by Guanyin. Apart from being stronger and faster, he was naturally no match for demons.

Thus began the journey to sea to learn martial arts, only the goal changed from seeking the way to immortality to seeking the art of combat.

Of course, under the guidance of the gods, Sun Wukong still arrived at Fangcun Mountain and became a disciple of the Bodhi Patriarch.

Zhao Xuan was also curious: Xuanmen was responsible for education, so if an ordinary patriarch was the three corpse incarnations of the Buddhist saint Zhunti, wouldn't the Buddhist sect receive the merit of education?

Unexpectedly, the Bodhi Patriarch was actually one of the three corpses of Taiqing.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. The Bodhi Patriarch was proficient in the true meaning of all schools of thought. Apart from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, only Taiqing Laozi dared to claim that he was proficient in the true meaning of all schools of thought.

The convergence of all schools of thought with Taoism, Lao Tzu's transformation into Buddhism, and Confucius's pursuit of Taoism all demonstrate the erudition of Lao Tzu of the Taiqing school.

Although the techniques learned are still "Great Celestial Immortal Technique", "Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends", and "Somersault Cloud", the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends can be used for combat.

After mastering his skills, Sun Wukong returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, subdued seventy-two demon kings, obtained weapons and armor from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, fought and became sworn brothers with the Bull Demon King and others, and then, while drunk, was possessed by a demon, stormed into the underworld, tore up the Book of Life and Death, and erased his name from the list of monkeys.

However, he was much stronger than Sun Wukong of the same period in the original work. When he was cultivating at Fangcun Mountain, Zhao Xuan gradually released the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Ape so that he could obtain it. Although on the surface it was still the Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends, in reality it was a thousand transformations.

The clever stone monkey's ability to adapt to change, understand the timing of the day, and know the advantages of the terrain, including his ability to shift stars and change constellations, is not just talk; it needs to be considered in conjunction with what follows.

In essence, it means that the Spiritual Stone Monkey can transform into the most suitable fighting form through analysis.

It can transform into a roc riding the wind, a phoenix upon seeing fire, a dragon upon entering the sea, and a tiger in the mountains and forests. Even when it ascends to the sun, it can transform into a three-legged golden crow, making the most of its home advantage.

It is a supernatural ability to transform into whatever one desires, rather than something acquired through later transformations, comparable to the ability to transform into sparrows, fish, or water snakes during the battle with Erlang Shen.

In addition, Zhao Xuan's clone secretly fused the Qilin God-Suppressing Crown, the Xuanwu God-Controlling Armor, the Phoenix Nirvana Cloak, the Azure Dragon Escape Boots, the White Tiger God-Slaying Staff, and the other items he was wearing, along with the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

His extraordinary abilities terrified the Bull Demon King and the other six great demons, who tried every means to harm him but could not. Instead, they were struck by the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a treasure he acquired later, which broke his bones and tendons.

Especially the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff), given its grade, it would have been virtually impossible for Sun Wukong to wield it skillfully.

But Zhao Xuan gave him special treatment and even incorporated the White Tiger God-Slaying Staff, a divine power that originally belonged to Sun Wukong.

Many spirits who shouldn't have died under the golden cudgel were beaten to a pulp.

Two of the ten Kings of Hell have died.

This was no longer something Venus could get involved in, so he simply kept quiet when the eight Hades were lodging a complaint with the emperor.

In the end, the Jade Emperor had no way to back down, so he could only send Li Jing with heavenly soldiers and generals down to the mortal realm to capture the demon.
