The North Peak of Spirited Mountain was desolate and empty. The endless sea of blue clouds was steaming. Wisps of five-colored flowing light surrounded the center of the sea of clouds, giving off a magnificent feeling.
At the top of the North Peak.
The little girl fell into a deep sleep in Ye Xuan's arms. Her small body was blooming with golden light. Wisps of Extreme Yin and Extreme Evil Qi dissipated in the void, and her originally thin body gradually became plump.
"The twelfth-grade Virtuous Golden Lotus is a heaven-opening spiritual treasure. It breeds creation and vitality. This child has already recovered after consuming a Virtuous Golden Lotus Seed. You don't have to worry." Sun Wukong sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain and spoke calmly to Ye Xuan.
"Everyone says that Sun Wukong is a lawless and unruly person. But today, I see that you are kind and not arrogant. It seems that the rumors are not true." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Sun Wukong smiled. He pointed one finger at the sky and shook his head at Ye Xuan. "This world is like a chess game. All living things are chess pieces. You and I both exist in this world. Isn't the so-called lawlessness a joke?"
"You're not Sun Wukong!" Ye Xuan said softly.
As Ye Xuan's words fell, Sun Wukong's calm face was slightly stunned. A complicated look flashed across his eyes. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "If you say that I'm not Sun Wukong, then who am I?"
"Have you heard of a saying?" Ye Xuan did not answer his question.
"Please enlighten me." Sun Wukong said softly.
"It's easy to change mountains and rivers, but hard to change one's nature!"
"Although I've never seen Sun Wukong, I still have some understanding of him. Back then, when he destroyed the Lingxiao Palace, he would rather become a Demon King in the Lower Realm than become an Immortal or Buddha. Even in the face of the Immortals and Buddhas, he never bowed. Although a person's character can be changed, the deep-rooted thing in his bones can never be changed."
"Tell me, are you really Sun Wukong?"
Ye Xuan's voice grew calmer and calmer. However, his voice was extremely certain because he believed in his own judgment.
No matter how much a person changed, the things that were deeply rooted in their bones would never change. Take Ye Xuan for example. He could treat the little girl in his arms very well, but he also felt very sorry for Uncle Zhuo's passing.
However, his heart remained cold and emotionless. To put it cruelly, if these two dared to obstruct his path forward, he would definitely use his butcher's knife to kill them on the spot.
Ye Xuan was able to see through himself very clearly. He naturally wouldn't believe that the dignified Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, a peerless figure who didn't put the Immortals and Buddhas in his eyes, would be as kind and amiable as an old monk.
Silence! Silence, extreme silence.
Sun Wukong silently looked at Ye Xuan. His body trembled slightly, and his breathing became somewhat disordered. However, the helplessness and self-deprecation in his eyes became more and more intense.
"You're not me. You don't understand what I've been through, and you don't know why I've become what I am today," Sun Wukong said in a low voice. His eyes were staring straight at Ye Xuan. A fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Ye Xuan did not avoid Sun Wukong's gaze. He only smiled and said, "Although I don't know what you've been through, if you can't even be yourself, what's the difference between this and death?"
Rumble!
Like the morning bell and evening drum, like the thunder from the Ninth Heaven, Ye Xuan's voice kept exploding in Sun Wukong's mind. He was completely stunned and speechless. The Buddhist light around him was extremely chaotic.
"Kekeke!"
Suddenly, an unbridled and wild laughter came from Sun Wukong's body. A wisp of demonic aura spread out from Sun Wukong's body.
"Deity, you're simply a joke. Even this kid understands this, but you still want to suppress me. You're simply stupid."
"Shut up!"
Sun Wukong's expression changed drastically. He chanted the Buddhist name loudly. An extremely terrifying Buddhist light rippled out, and a painful groan came from his body.
"Who is he?"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Eyes rumbled as if he wanted to see who was inside Sun Wukong's body.
Suddenly!
A dazzling brilliance shone so brightly that Ye Xuan could not open his eyes. However, he still saw a trace of the outline inside Sun Wukong's body.
A monkey with golden hair and a ferocious appearance. Its body was emitting demonic and demonic light. It was roaring inside Sun Wukong's body. A pair of dazzling fangs flashed with a cold light. A pair of fierce eyes were emitting a bloodthirsty light. It had an unruly and lawless aura. It was looking at Ye Xuan inside Sun Wukong's body.
A golden chain wrapped around the Devil Monkey. No matter how much the Devil Monkey roared, it was unable to break free from the chain. However, an extremely demonic and devilish aura bloomed violently around its body, and its ferocious eyes were filled with a desire to battle the heavens and destroy the earth.
"Amitabha!"
Sun Wukong put his palms together and chanted sutras in the void. This also made Ye Xuan instantly look away. However, there was an extremely surprised look in his eyes.
"Did you see it?"
Sun Wukong's face was gloomy. He stared at Ye Xuan. A ring of Buddhist light quietly covered the North Peak of Spirit Mountain. A thick and oppressive aura was hanging down on Ye Xuan.
"You want to fight me?"
Rumble!
The light of the Origin Immortal exploded, causing spacetime to distort. A wisp of chaotic mist swirled around Ye Xuan's body, and the mark of a blood moon flashed on Ye Xuan's forehead. A destructive energy erupted from his body.
Whoosh!
Sun Wukong withdrew his energy and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. The Buddhist light around him dissipated, and he became calm once more. However, he looked at Ye Xuan with a complicated expression.
Ye Xuan withdrew his energy and became calm once more. The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground, but their gazes intertwined, causing the world to slightly distort.
After ten-some seconds, Sun Wukong spoke in a low voice, "Do you know that if I wanted to kill you just now, your soul would have been obliterated?"
"Although you're a Quasi-Saint, you can't kill me," Ye Xuan calmly said.
Sun Wukong slowly nodded and said, "Correct. You walk the path of strength, and your Origin Immortal Body is almost complete. It truly is rather difficult for me to kill you."
"Mm?"
Ye Xuan was alarmed by Sun Wukong's words. He had never imagined that Sun Wukong would be able to tell that he cultivated the path of strength.
It must be known that besides the Tongtian and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, no one else had been able to tell that he cultivated the path of strength, but Sun Wukong had seen through it with a single glance. How could Ye Xuan not be astonished?
"Are you very puzzled as to why I could tell that you cultivated the path of strength?"
Sun Wukong smiled faintly. His eyes flickered as he said, "Before I became a Quasi-Saint, I cultivated the Dao Affirmation Method through strength."
"What?"
Ye Xuan grimaced, his calm demeanor gone.
