"Where's the core?" Yi Tianxing asked.
"I'm not sure. However, it's said that the core will evolve into a mystic realm. If I can come out of the mystic realm alive, I'll be able to gather the ancestral true spirit and obtain merit as a reward. However, I don't know the specifics. This is my first time taking the Journey to the West. Old Tang died before I could find the mystic realm. "
Speaking of this, the monkey was also depressed. He had thought that this would be a great fortuitous opportunity. He would be able to set off after gathering a group of like-minded people. Who knew that things would turn out like this? Even Old Tang had died. The monkey was here to obtain merit, so he was naturally unwilling to give up just like that. Now that he had discovered Yi Tianxing's identity, he naturally wanted to rope him in and take the Journey to the West together.
"That's interesting. However, monkey, I'm afraid you're not so obsessed with taking the Journey to the West just for merit, right?"
Yi Tianxing could tell that the monkey had an extraordinary obsession with the Journey to the West.
"That's right. Merit is just one of the reasons. What I want more is an answer. Who am I? "
The monkey took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly revealed a complicated and even violent gaze.
Who am I?
This question was not a problem for many people. I am who I am, but to some people, who I am is very important. Who I am, who I am not who I am. The things involved in this were definitely not things that outsiders could understand.
"Who am I? Why would the monkey have such a thought? Could it be that he discovered that he's not himself, or that he's under some kind of control and influence? Or perhaps he has awakened the memories of his previous life, or perhaps he discovered that he's the incarnation of a certain mighty figure, the Nirmanakaya. "
Various thoughts appeared in Yi Tianxing's mind immediately.
However, it was not convenient for him to ask this question. After all, this was a question that involved one's origin.
"Hehe, there's nothing that I can't say. When I ascended to the Nascent Divinity Realm and wanted to break through to the True Spirit Realm, I discovered that I couldn't find a soul fish that belonged to me in the river of destiny. If I couldn't catch a soul fish, I would never be able to reach the True Spirit Realm. I would always be a pseudo-true spirit. "
"Furthermore, at that time, I had a feeling that if I wanted to break through to the True Spirit Realm, I would have to take the Journey to the West. If I could overcome this tribulation, I would be able to break through to the True Spirit Realm and break the shackles in my body."
There was a hint of complicated emotions in the monkey's eyes, as well as a hint of arrogance. He slammed the iron rod into the ground and shouted, "Breaking through to the True Spirit Realm is not the most important thing. I just want to know who I am."
His voice contained a complaint that came from the bottom of his heart.
No matter who it was, if they discovered that they might not be themselves at all, the fear, anger, and even bewilderment they would feel would be unimaginable. Tracing back to the source was an instinctive impulse. If one's mind was weak, they might even deny their own existence, or even have their thoughts crumble. Anything could happen. As for the monkey, it was clear that he was filled with fury and indignance. He wanted to know just who he was. Who was in control of his own fate.
Therefore, he had to take the Journey to the West.
If he failed this time, he would have to take the same path the next time. He would definitely not give up until he achieved his goal.
"You are you. You are Yuan Gang. As long as you are alive, it doesn't matter who you were before. As long as you know that your will belongs to you, you are yourself. It might not be a good thing to look into it. "Yi Tianxing looked at the monkey thoughtfully when he heard that.
If he were to continue, he would probably enter the perception barrier.
Doubting himself and denying himself would lead to self-destruction.
"That's right. I am me. As long as I am alive, I exist. However, it's precisely because of this that I have to figure out what my true identity is. I've heard of a saying among you Qi Refinement Warriors called 'Cultivation'. Cultivation is to turn the false into the true and search for the true self. The true self is the true spirit. If I don't even know who I am, how can I cultivate? "
The monkey's eyes regained clarity. However, the determination in his eyes did not waver at all.
"If that's the case, I can only wish you good luck. We can work together on the Journey to the West this time. It's a journey anyway, so we can go anywhere. Besides, it's so interesting. I also want to see what a mystic realm derived from the Tribulation Qi and the true spirit of the ancestral vein would be like. "
Yi Tianxing smiled faintly.
He then said a few more words to the monkey. The main point was to make sure that the monkey kept his identity a secret. At least on the surface. That way, he would be able to keep a lower profile on his journey.
"According to Old Tang's speculation, the location of the mystic realm should be at the Fallen Embryo Spring near the Womanland. However, we can't be completely sure without going there in person. "Monkey also naturally told them the location they had guessed previously.
The Fallen Embryo Spring and the Zimu River could be said to be mutually exclusive. Drinking the water from the Zimu River could lead to pregnancy, while drinking the water from the Fallen Embryo Spring could lead to abortion. They had already traveled through the Zimu River and did not find any mystic realm. The only possibility now was the Fallen Embryo Spring. If the Fallen Embryo Spring was also not the mystic realm, then they would have to think about it carefully.
"Bring the pig and the river monster over. Let's get to know each other. It'll be easier for us to work together."
Yi Tianxing nodded and said.
It was better to do it sooner rather than later. Besides, the Womanland's son-in-law selection would definitely not continue. There were only a small number of young men left in the city. Most of them had been sacrificed. This time, it was a waste of effort.
Soon, he saw the pig demon and the river demon walking over together. There was no one else around.
"My name is Toothless Pig. I used to know Brother Monkey. I'll be following Mister Yi on this trip to the West. I hope that I can obtain some karma so that I can wash away my mortal body and transform completely."
The pig monster walked over and after seeing Yi Tianxing, he did not stand on ceremony and told him about his situation. Before coming here, he already knew about the monkey's plan. Naturally, he agreed. After all, Old Tang was already dead and sacrificed to the Heavens. They could only find other ways. There was no reason for him to turn down such a good opportunity.
It was completely out of the question.
"I'm the Turtle Monk. My true form is a Black Water Mystic Turtle. On the way to the West, Mister Yi is my master. If there's anything you need, just tell me and I'll do it properly." The ferocious-looking river monster said honestly. It was clear that he had a good temper. Among the monsters, he was considered to have a good temper.
At this moment, he also made his stance clear.
"Very well. Since we're working together, then we're all on the same side. Although I'm a human, I don't have much animosity towards the monster race. There are good and bad humans, and there are also good and evil demons. As for those that don't eat humans, I don't have much animosity towards them. After all, no matter what race you are, we're all part of the Eternal World. We'll fight side by side against our enemies. "
Yi Tianxing nodded and expressed his stance. After all, the monster race was not a small race without a backer. That imposing figure flashed across his mind.
"Come, let's go to the Fallen Embryo Spring now."
Monkey said excitedly.
Although he was sad about Old Tang's death, compared to the arcane realm, it could be put aside. After all, they were just working together, not master and disciple.
Now, he couldn't wait to find the arcane realm, lest something unexpected happen.
The Fallen Embryo Spring was near the Womanland.
Almost everyone in Womanland knew the location of the Birth Birth Spring. If they drank the Zimu River's water and suddenly didn't want to give birth, they could go and get the Birth Birth Spring's water themselves. The Zimu River's water was very domineering.
After drinking it, one wouldn't need ten months to get pregnant, but ten days to give birth. A day was like a month. This was the magic of the Zimu River. If the Womanland was willing, they could multiply the population of the entire dynasty in a short month.
This was a great weapon to increase the population.
"I've already asked around. The Fallen Embryo Spring is at Mount Jieyang. I've already asked around, we can go now. "
Old Pig said loudly.
"Alright, let's go."
Yi Tianxing nodded in agreement.
Then, the group didn't hesitate and headed towards Mount Jieyang.
Speaking of Mount Jieyang, it was indeed very peculiar. It looked like a kidney and its outer appearance was very similar. Moreover, the entire mountain was emitting a very strong Yang Qi. If one had the Art of Qi, one would be able to see that the mountain was like a furnace with Yang Qi rising from it. It was very intense.
"Juxian Nunnery!!"
Just as they arrived at Mount Jieyang, they saw a huge manor in front of them. It looked like a temple or a dojo. Judging from the decorations, it was obvious that it was extraordinary.
"There's a seal."
Old Pig went forward and his expression changed. He could already feel that the temple wasn't easy to enter. The presence of a seal meant that there were powerful cultivators here, and they were definitely not weak. From the restriction, he could feel a trace of an extremely strong threat.
"Knock on the door."
Yi Tian Xing said after pondering for a while.
Bang bang bang!!
Fang Zhu knocked on the door without hesitation and shouted at the same time.
"Who is it? How dare you disturb me."
The door opened and a figure appeared.
Take a closer look. He wore a colorful crown on his head, and he wore a red robe made of golden threads. His shoes were embroidered, and he had a belt around his waist. He wore a pair of silk stockings, and his skirt was half exposed. He held a golden hook in his hand, and the pole was as long as a python. His eyes were bright, and his eyebrows were straight. His teeth were sharp, and his mouth was red. His beard was like fire, and his hair was short and fluffy. He looked like Marshal Wen, but his clothes were not the same. He did look good.
He looked like a real immortal.
"Eh, it's you, you stupid monkey. No, it's not all him."
True Immortal Ru Yi sized him up, and when her eyes fell on the monkey, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
