Three Hundred Years!

"Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes to look.

Really.

The place is surrounded by beautiful mountains, clear waters, and stunning scenery; it is truly a place blessed by heaven and earth. Lu Qingfeng had never been here before, but hearing Wukong's chaotic shouts, he knew what this place was.

"They've actually come to Flower-Fruit Mountain?!"

Lu Qingfeng thought about the strange wind and looked around.

The wind made my head buzz, and I couldn't calm down for a while. Not being able to think of anything made my head ache.

Let's slow down.

Standing with Six Ears, they looked up.

Then the Stone Monkey stood on the high place, splashed some water to wash his face, and brushed away all the dirt, stones and sand from his body. Only then did he reveal a joyful expression on his face and howl in all directions. "My children, I have come!"

The voice carried through the woods.

Suddenly, the cries of cranes and the howls of monkeys were heard. The cranes' cries Sky-Piercing, and the monkeys' howls were mournful and heartbreaking.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

From the rocky banks below the cliff, among the flowers and trees, countless monkeys of all sizes leaped out and surrounded the Handsome Monkey King. They roared and kowtowed, crying, "Great King, how comforting! Why have you been gone so long? We've all been waiting for you here, as if we were starving! Recently, a demon has been harassing us, trying to seize our Water-Curtain Cave Abode. We fought him with our lives on the line. In the meantime, that scoundrel stole our food and captured many of our children, forcing us to guard our home day and night. Thankfully, Great King has come! If you hadn't returned for another year, our entire cave would have belonged to someone else!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng knew what kind of demon it was, and also knew its fate.

A thought crossed my mind.

A flash of Radiance struck him. "Yellow Wind Ridge is quite a distance from Gold-Silver Mountain. Brother wouldn't have sent a gust of wind here for no reason. Could it be that it was instructed by the Lingji Bodhisattva?"

Thinking about it that way...

I vaguely guessed what it meant.

Thoughts were racing.

This side.

"What kind of demon dares to act so disrespectfully! Tell me in detail, and I will seek revenge!" Wukong asked angrily. Before long, he had found out the details about the demon.

He really is that Chaos Demon King.

Upon hearing this, Wukong was furious and about to go to war when suddenly his eyes darted around and he looked at Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears. He stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Thank you both for saving me earlier. Now that you've come to my Flower-Fruit Mountain, I'll certainly treat you well. There's a demon lurking here, and I'm about to go and kill it. Please come to the Water-Curtain Cave Abode and have a seat."

Upon Six Ears Er looked at Lu Qingfeng and whispered, "Bamboo, the demons are powerful. Let's go and take a look together."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng secretly shook his head.

They are all Four Monkeys of Chaos.

This Six Ears Monkey is much simpler than the Stone Monkey.

The Stone Monkey's words clearly implied that he wanted the two of them to go together, but he didn't say it directly. It was only because of Six Ears that he foolishly went in.

That makes sense.

The Stone Monkey studied in the Slanting-Moon Three-Stars Cave, where he had a group of fellow disciples. Although they were not exactly scheming against each other, the fact that he could see through the mystery in the ancestral master's plate and knew how to avoid his fellow disciples showed that he was not without his own thoughts.

With Six Ears from all directions, one has seen much.

However, he was all talk and no action, and had been cultivating in the mountains with Lu Qingfeng, his mind pure and simple.

"Not good."

"Not good."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself.

Such a temperament would hardly end well in the Primordial World.

Without revealing his Six Ears or refusing to listen, Lu Qingfeng said to the Stone Monkey, "I was just about to go and see what the demons are up to."

The Stone Monkey was overjoyed.

Six Ears was also pleased.

The three of them didn't linger and headed north, following the direction indicated.

Originally, the Stone Monkey alone could have killed the Chaos Demon King.

The three of them then went together.

The Chaos Demon King was even worse. In just a few exchanges, he was killed by the Stone Monkey and Six Ears Macaque, which made the two fledgling monkeys excited for a long time, and the setbacks they had suffered in the Gold-Silver Mountain were also greatly relieved.

They rescued dozens of monkeys and their offspring from the Filthy-Water Cave and then returned to the Water-Curtain Cave Abode.

We prepared wine and fruit to welcome and congratulate them.

When Six Ears saw the Stone Monkey, he called himself "Old Sun." All the monkeys and their offspring came to flatter him, offering him large and small bowls of coconut wine, grape wine, fairy flowers, and fairy fruits. It was truly a joyous occasion for the whole family!

I'm a little envious.

Sitting next to Lu Qingfeng, eating fruit with his head down, he also felt that it had lost its flavor.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng said, "After the banquet, we will return to Cool Mountain. You have thousands of monkeys and their offspring in your mountain; they must miss you terribly."

Cool Mountain is the birthplace of Six Ears.

It is located at the border between Continent of Southern Jambudvipa and Divine Continent of East Victory, some distance from here.

"I--"

"I'm not going back."

Six Ears pursed his lips and lowered his head.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qingfeng asked curiously.

Six Ears kept his head down and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng stopped asking and said, "Then let's find another place to cultivate properly."

In short, we definitely can't stay in Flower-Fruit Mountain for long.

"Um."

Six Ears nodded sullenly.

This side.

The Stone Monkey, carrying a large sword which he had snatched from the Chaos Demon King, approached Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears. He said to Six Ears, "Brother Six Ears, I see you have no weapon. This large sword belongs to that Demon King of Chaos Demon King. Brother, please take a look and see if it's usable?"

Six Ears took the broadsword, twirled it a few times, but found it too light and uninteresting. He returned it, saying, "It's too light. You keep it."

The Stone Monkey swung the broadsword a few times, but it was indeed not very handy.

He frowned and said, "This knife is really too light."

Following behind the Stone Monkey were four old monkeys: two Red-Rumped Macaque and two Back-Passing Apes. Even though they had never sought immortality, they possessed considerable abilities.

The Chaos Demon King attacked three times, but it was these four old monkeys who led their followers to repel him.

Seeing that his king's weapon was not satisfactory, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is a sage, and ordinary weapons are unusable; but I wonder if Your Majesty can go into the water?"

Wukong said, "Since I heard the Dao, I have mastered the seventy-two transformations of the Earthly Fiend; the Cloud-Somersault possesses immense Divine Ability; I am adept at concealing myself and escaping, and I can use magic to subdue others; there is a path to heaven and a door to the earth; I can walk on the sun and moon Shadowless, and enter metal and stone without hindrance; I cannot drown in water or burn in fire. Where can I not go?"

Upon hearing this, the four old monkeys felt that it was incredibly powerful and hurriedly said, "Since Your Majesty has such Divine Ability, the water under our Iron-Plank Bridge connects to the East Sea Dragon Palace. If Your Majesty would be willing to go down and find the Old Dragon King, wouldn't it be satisfying to ask him for some weapons?"

"They're here!"

Lu Qingfeng was startled and glanced at the four old monkeys, but saw that they had no magical powers and did not seem strange.

Willing to get involved, he dared not linger. Before the Stone Monkey could even utter a word of joy, he said, "Thank you for your hospitality, brother. Six Ears and I have other matters to attend to, so we will not disturb you any longer. We will take our leave now."

"Walk?"

Six Ears was taken aback. He was still very curious about the Dragon Palace and was thinking of going to see it together when he was dragged away. He was a little disappointed.

He looked towards Lu Qingfeng.

But seeing that his Bamboo remained unchanged, it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.

"All right."

He could only hang his head and follow behind Lu Qingfeng.

"My two elder brothers, please stay a few more days!"

Despite the Stone Monkey's repeated attempts to persuade them to stay, Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears left Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Water-Curtain Cave Abode.

The Stone Monkey's face scrunched up as he looked at the four old monkeys. "Do you know who the powerful figures are in the Dragon Palace? How do they compare to the Chaos Demon King?"

"This--"

The four old monkeys exchanged glances and shook their heads, saying, "We've lived long enough to hear many rumors about the Dragon Palace in our younger days, and we know that the old Dragon King was very wealthy. As for what powerful figures were in the Dragon Palace, we really don't know."

The Stone Monkey remained silent.

Looking in the direction Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears left, he thought for a long time before saying, "This matter is not urgent. Let's find out the situation in the Dragon Palace first, and then it will not be too late to ask for the weapons."

In the end, they witnessed the power of the Demon King of Gold-Silver Mountain.

The Stone Monkey became somewhat cautious.

Upon hearing the four old monkeys mention the Dragon Palace, Lu Qingfeng immediately turned and left, clearly showing his apprehension about the Dragon Palace and his reluctance to act rashly.

Having just graduated, his high spirits and enthusiasm have been tempered considerably.

Outside Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears flew south.

Along the way, Six Ears was a little sullen and muttered, "I think Flower-Fruit Mountain is a great place to have fun. Bamboo, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Fun?"

Lu Qingfeng glanced at Six Ears and asked, "If you stay, that Stone Monkey will invite you to go to the Dragon Palace to forcibly seize weapons. Will you go or not?"

"What robbery?"

"Borrow."

"It's a loan."

Six Ears spoke, but he knew in his heart what Lu Qingfeng was worried about. He forced a rebuttal, but seeing Lu Qingfeng smile and remain silent, he couldn't help but ask, "Is the Dragon Palace really that strong?"

Suppressing the Four Seas.

The four Dragon Palace are closely connected, and their strength goes far beyond mere power.

Lu Qingfeng pointed at the Six Ears man's head and said, "Listen to it, and you'll know how powerful the Dragon Palace is."

Upon Six Ears Er trembled slightly.

In an instant.

Countless rumors about the Dragon Palace came flooding in, some true and some false, but Six Ears also gained some understanding of the Dragon Palace.

"If the Stone Monkey goes, won't he be in big trouble?"

Six Ears looked at Lu Qingfeng with some worry in his eyes.

Why worry about things that don't concern you?

Whether one's own life can be saved is another matter, so why worry about the protagonist?

Lu Qingfeng looked at Six Ears and shook his head, saying, "The Stone Monkey has boundless luck; you don't need to worry. Don't forget his teacher—"

Six Ears thought about it and agreed.

Stopping thinking about Flower-Fruit Mountain and the Dragon Palace, he looked ahead and asked curiously, "Bamboo, where are we going?"

Lu Qingfeng rode the clouds at breakneck speed, replying:

"Boundless Mountain".

The Boundless Mountain stretches for over 360,000 li.

In later generations, Shu Mountain was revered.

However, before the journey to the Journey to the West had begun and before Changmei had ascended to heaven, the Boundless Mountain were still in chaos, with demons running rampant. To the west of the Boundless Mountain lay the Great Wilderness Mountain, and to the east lay the Thunder-Piled Mountain, places difficult for the Heavenly Court to govern.

One or two Celestial Immortal slipped inside, completely unnoticed.

Inside, demon kings and evil spirits dwell, making it a perfect place for cultivation and tempering. It is also a place far removed from the troubles of the Journey to the West, making it an ideal destination.

The two brothers left the East Sea and arrived at the Continent of Southern Jambudvipa, where they plunged into the Boundless Mountain for 360,000 miles.

Time flies like water.

Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears were transferring Law Power to cultivate profound skills.

Suddenly, a commotion was heard outside.

The two opened their eyes.

"Who was arguing outside?"

Six Ears shouted.

A general rushed in and shouted, "Your Majesty, there is a man outside who claims to be an old friend of yours. He comes from Flower-Fruit Mountain in Divine Continent of East Victory and is the master of the Water-Curtain Cave, named Sun Wukong."

"Silly Stone Monkey?"

"How could it be him?!"

Lu Qingfeng and Six Ears were both taken aback and quickly stood up to go outside to see him.
