Knowing Past and Future, Understanding All Things
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhiqi was first taken aback, then a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
He stared at Hong Yuan before him, speechless. "Dao Venerable, do you mean that the Chaos Demon Ape is one of the Three Thousand Demon Gods Chaos Demon Gods?!"
"Exactly!" Hong Yuan replied with a smile, "Moreover, among the Three Thousand Demon Gods, he is among the strongest, no less powerful than Luohu!"
Indeed, the Chaos Demon Ape, as someone who controls the Law of War, has reached a state of perfection in mastering the Law of War.
Within the same realm, he is practically invincible!
That boundless fighting spirit not only grew stronger with each battle, but it could also shake everything, causing all laws to retreat.
To fight Him, unless one can crush Him with great supernatural powers and methods like Brother Pangu, even Yang Mei Shi Chen would have a headache facing the Chaos Demon Ape.
When Wu Zhiqi heard what Hong Yuan said, his heart was filled with turmoil.
He kept muttering to himself.
It was as if it wanted to deeply engrave the name of the Chaos Demon Ape in its heart.
Indeed, Wu Zhiqi hadn't expected that he would have such a background.
Although he learned from the Dao Venerable that he had only obtained a portion of the Chaos Demon Ape's essence.
But that's already pretty awesome!
Clearly, it was precisely because of his Root Foundation that he was accepted as a disciple by Master Xuan Turtle.
Only then could one have the opportunity to pay homage to the Dao Venerable.
But this also gave rise to a thought in Wu Zhiqi's mind.
This thought even made his Dao Heart somewhat confused.
The question then becomes: am I Wu Zhiqi, or the Chaos Demon Ape?
If my cultivation improves in the future, will I still be myself?!
It's no wonder Wu Zhiqi thought that way.
After all, most people in the Primordial Wilderness knew about the Reincarnation of the sage Fuxi.
Am I not now just like the sage Fuxi of the past?
After all, when the sage Fuxi Reincarnation, wasn't he left with only a wisp of his original essence?!
This thought made Wu Zhiqi feel rather uncomfortable.
If I were the Chaos Demon Ape, wouldn't that mean that Wu Zhiqi didn't exist at all?
Is he... still himself?!
Does he still have his ego?!
This is the kind of 'self' that one suddenly discovers after living for countless years is actually just what one perceives as 'self'.
He is not himself!
He was actually just someone else's alter ego.
This idea clung to Wu Zhiqi's mind like a leech.
This made him feel somewhat conflicted.
Hong Yuan also saw what Wu Zhiqi was thinking.
He couldn't help but chuckle, "What, don't you want to become Chaos Demon Ape? You should know that's one of the Three Thousand Demon Gods Chaos Demon Gods, a figure on par with me, and even with my elder brother!"
Upon hearing Wu Zhiqi's eyes.
Does the Dao Venerable Master mean that his idea is correct?
I'm actually Chaos Demon Ape?!
Instead of Wu Zhiqi?!
Wu Zhiqi remained silent for a long time before shaking his head, his voice filled with unprecedented stubbornness. "Dao Venerable, although the Chaos Demon Ape is of noble status, Wu Zhiqi wishes to be Wu Zhiqi, rather than merely a continuation of someone else..."
"Hahahaha!!" Hong Yuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even the Xuan Turtle burst into laughter. "My good disciple, don't worry. Although you have occupied a portion of the Chaos Demon Ape's origin, that origin has never affected you. You have always been yourself, Wu Zhiqi, and my disciple, not some Chaos Demon God, one of the Chaos Demon Ape!"
"Your master is right!" Hong Yuan nodded, a slight smile on his face, "Although Brother Pangu held back back then, splitting the Chaos Demon Ape's origin into four, which became the Lingming Stone Monkey, the Six-Eared Macaque, the Long-Armed Ape, and your Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, the Chaos Demon Ape's will was completely obliterated by Brother Pangu back then. No matter how much Kalpa Mana he gains, he will never return. You will always be yourself, and not anyone else!"
At this point, Hong Yuan paused, then teased, "Just like my disciple, he, like you, was formed from the origin of the Chaos Demon God. Moreover, he is even more extraordinary than you. You only possessed a quarter of the origin after the fall of the Chaos Demon Ape, while my disciple possessed the entire Shi Chen!"
"While he may resemble Shi Chen in some ways, given time, it's not impossible for him to return to Shi Chen's level. But he has never been Shi Chen; he has always been himself! He is Fu Xiao, and also the disciple of the original!"
"So... you little monkey, you can rest assured!"
At this point, Hong Yuan smiled and glanced sideways at a creature in a certain place.
There, too, was a little monkey.
However, his image is somewhat different from that of Wu Zhiqi.
Wu Zhiqi had a blue face and red eyes, and his whole body was snow-white.
But this little monkey had dark golden fur that shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
Each ear has three ears, for a total of Six-Eared Macaque. The auricles tremble slightly, as if they can capture all the sounds of the Primordial Wilderness world.
It was the Six-Eared Macaque, one of the Four Chaotic Apes along with Wu Zhiqi.
Unlike Wu Zhiqi, a Daluo Golden Immortal, the Six-Eared Macaque is only at the Golden Immortal realm.
It's clear that he was only recently born. (One theory is that Six-Eared Macaque was born when Hongjun was preaching, which is why Hongjun said that the Dharma should not be passed on to Six-Eared Macaque. But that would be too early. Given Six-Eared Macaque ' Root Foundation and supernatural powers, it's unreasonable that he only managed to fight the Great Sage to a standstill after receiving a boost Tathagata Buddha in Journey to the West. So I'm more inclined to believe that what Hongjun said meant that the Great Dao should not be lightly passed on. Later, when people discovered that Six-Eared Macaque, he was called Six-Eared Macaque, which is why he was not well-liked.)
At this moment, Six-Eared Macaque Er's crimson-gold eyes were filled with horror and shock.
It was as if I had heard something utterly unbelievable.
He never imagined that he had only been eavesdropping on something.
To think I'd hear such news!
Moreover, he even heard his own name spoken by the Dao Venerable!!
You must know, I am none other than the Six-Eared Macaque, the Chaos Demon Ape that the Dao Venerable spoke of, split into four parts!!!
"I'm actually the embodiment of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods?" Six-Eared Macaque murmured involuntarily, his expression filled with bewilderment and shock. "I actually have such Root Foundation?!"
He always thought that he was just like the Demon Saint Bai Ze back then.
They are all good at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and the future, and understanding all things.
Little did I know that my Root Foundation connected to such Causality.
As for whether Hong Yuan was just making things up or bluffing...
Six-Eared Macaque had never considered this idea.
After all, that's a Dao Venerable!
Moreover, this might also be something that the Dao Venerable deliberately told him.
After all, although Six-Eared Macaque was confident that his supernatural powers could eavesdrop on everything, this certainly did not include supreme beings like Dao Venerable.
Let alone Dao Venerable Zun, even Primordial Origin Golden Immortal like Xuan Turtle is not someone I can covet.
Therefore, the Dao Venerable's words were not only meant for Wu Zhiqi.
This was also meant for him Six-Eared Macaque, who was also one of the four monkeys!
"Heh, you little monkey are quite clever!" Hong Yuan's light laughter entered the Six-Eared Macaque's mind.
The sound made Six-Eared Macaque's body tremble.
But he hadn't had a chance to say anything.
Suddenly, a flash went off before my eyes.
When she came to her senses, she found Hong Yuan standing in front of her, looking down at her with a faint smile.
