Taking a Disciple
Fuxi's sudden appearance and subsequent departure were not because the Lingming Stone Monkey had already been Zhunti by Zhunti.
Fuxi's sudden departure stemmed from Fuxi perception that he was about to break through to a higher level.
The moment the Lingming Stone Monkey was born, the ascension progress of the Primordial World surged forward.
After observing the various Dao Rhymes on Flower-Fruit Mountain, Fuxi found it difficult to suppress Fuxi cultivation.
He needs to quickly go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao Rhymes within his mind.
Therefore, Fuxi left Flower-Fruit Mountain on the spot and returned to Fuxi Temple to begin his secluded cultivation.
Fuxi's seclusion for cultivation was not long, because he had not yet reached the point of completely breaking through to the Void Transformation stage.
Although his current realm has not yet reached the Void Transformation Realm, Fuxi can sense that he has already progressed further on the Great Dao than anyone else in the Primordial World Great Dao.
Compared to his former self, he was confident he could take on ten opponents at once. The man he was before was no longer the same as the man he is now.
As for Hongjun, he looks down on him completely at the moment.
After leaving the pass, Fuxi calculated the secrets of Heavenly Secrets and discovered that the Lingming Stone Monkey had just been lured out of the East Sea and had not yet been Zhunti as a disciple by Zhunti. After thinking for a moment, his figure disappeared into the Fuxi Temple.
Above the East Sea.
The Lingming Stone Monkey, looking completely bewildered, rode the raft on its journey.
He had been adrift on the sea for two months. The East Sea was surrounded by endless water, and he really didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, he was exceptionally gifted and could live well without food or water; otherwise, he would have starved to death long ago.
The Lingming Stone Monkey was unaware that beneath the Bamboo Raft he was on, two small dragons were pushing the Bamboo Raft forward.
These two small dragons were sent by Zhunti, with the purpose of getting the Lingming Stone Monkey to leave the Human Race territory in the eastern part of the Primordial World as soon as possible, and to travel from the East Sea to the West Sea through the Four Seas Connection, and then to Zhunti's Daoist Abode Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. After a few more days, the Lingming Stone Monkey finally saw a blurry image of a mountain in the distance.
Upon seeing the Immortal Mountain approaching in the distance, the Lingming Stone Monkey could no longer contain himself and flew directly towards Immortal Mountain, treading on water.
Upon arriving at the Immortal Mountain, the Lingming Stone Monkey spotted a Qiaofu.
Without a second thought, the Lingming Stone Monkey bowed deeply and asked, "Old sir, is this Immortal Mountain Blessed Land?"
"Immortal Mountain Blessed Land?" The Qiaofu looked at the Lingming Stone Monkey, then at the Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain, and laughed, "This Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain could barely be considered an Immortal Mountain Blessed Land. You, monkey, have you come here to seek a master and cultivate immortality?"
On Lingtai Three-Inch Mountain, ever since the Lingming Stone Monkey arrived, the eyes of Yuanshi, Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti have been fixed on the Lingming Stone Monkey.
In their original plan, there was indeed a Qiaofu, but the Qiaofu only spoke two sentences.
One line reads, "The Immortal Mountain Blessed Lands are still far away."
Another line is. "If you cross this mountain, you'll see it?"
The words uttered by the Qiaofu were clearly completely different from what they had originally planned.
Immediately, they sensed that something was wrong, and Jieyin and Zhunti immediately tried to show themselves.
But the Qiaofu merely glanced slightly upwards at the sky.
When Zhunti and Jieyin met the Qiaofu's gaze, they were momentarily stunned and stood frozen in place.
When the Qiaofu asked if he wanted to become an apprentice and seek immortality, the Lingming Stone Monkey quickly nodded and replied, "I am originally a stone monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain on the shore of the East Sea. Some time ago, I suddenly heard that there is Immortal Mountain Blessed Land in the West Sea, and the immortals there do not discriminate against their disciples' origins. So I traveled thousands of miles, crossing mountains and rivers, to come to this place."
"I hope you'll see my sincerity and say a few good words for the immortal on my behalf, old man, would you?"
"No need for nice words, if you want to become my disciple, then you'll have to bow and kowtow three times and nine times right here."
The Qiaofu —no, it should be said that Fuxi smiled gently and spoke directly.
The Lingming Stone Monkey was quite straightforward. Upon hearing Fuxi's words, it immediately performed the Disciple-Acceptance Ceremony, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times.
This scene infuriated both Yuanshi and Laozi.
They had no idea that Fuxi would intercept them, and where were Jieyin and Zhunti at this moment?
Fuxi is about to snatch this Lingming Stone Monkey away, so why hasn't he shown up yet?
After some thought, Yuanshi and Laozi finally couldn't resist and revealed themselves.
"Fuxi, what are you planning now? You should know..."
"Noisy."
With Fuxi's words, Laozi and Yuanshi immediately understood the treatment that Zhunti and Jieyin previously.
A strange and domineering Dao Rhymes suddenly surged into their bodies, suppressing all the Great Dao Rhymes they cultivated, leaving them completely unable to move for a moment.
This is the means that Fuxi currently possesses.
Fuxi ignored Laozi and Yuanshi, and instead looked directly at the Lingming Stone Monkey and spoke.
"There are many causes and effects between you and your teacher."
"Your master is the Fuxi of Phoenix Perch Mountain. In the Primordial World, he was known as the Venerable Sage, and among Human Race, he was known as the Sage Emperor. But these are merely empty titles. In the future, when you cultivate to the Sage Realm, you too will be addressed in such terms."
"And the origin of you, this stone monkey, is also quite wondrous."
"You were originally the last remaining piece of the Five-Colored Stone used by your grand- Empress Nuwa Mending the Heavens, to mend the Mending the Heavens. Because you were imbued with the Merit mending the sky, you were fortunate enough to gain sentience and transform into Lingming Stone Monkey."
"And now, with the ascension of the Primordial World, your potential is constantly increasing, and you now have the potential to grow into Chaos Demon Ape."
"That's why I accepted you as my disciple."
As for them.
As Fuxi spoke, he pointed to the Primordial Being and Laozi, whom he had frozen in the sky, and said in a calm tone, "They are Sages within the Primordial World, and can be considered your elders. It's a pity that their cultivation is not refined, so they usually rely on scheming and plotting to do things, which is laughable."
"In this Primordial World, the strong are ultimately respected, and strength reigns supreme. You must remember this."
Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Although he didn't understand it, he still memorized everything he heard.
"Alright, let's return to our Cave Abode."
Fuxi took the Lingming Stone Monkey and left. After Fuxi left, the suppression that Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti had been under instantly disappeared.
The four appeared in the sky at the same time, all with ashen faces.
"Fuxi's cultivation is becoming increasingly terrifying."
Jieyin couldn't help but sigh.
With Fuxi's current cultivation level, even if the Lingming Stone Monkey were intercepted by Qi, they could not say anything, nor would they dare to say anything.
"Should the Journey to the West Calamity continue?" Laozi Tzu asked the most important question with a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, both looking distressed. "Let's continue," they said. "After all, we still have Jin Chanzi."
The Journey to the West Calamity could not be abandoned, since its fundamental purpose was to restore the Journey to the West Calamity Western Ley Lines.
