"This little bird... who knew whether he was sincerely submitting or only pretending? Who knew what nasty schemes he might be cooking up behind my back."
Before leaving his Inner World, Cangyuan glanced at the world where Little Six of the Golden Crows was staying.
He found the brat cultivating.
But Cangyuan remembered that Daoist Lu Ya during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had been exceptionally devious, and every method he used had been more sinister than the last.
Take the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book, for example.
Zhao Gongming had beaten the Chan Teach Twelve Golden Immortals with his fists and kicked around the people of The West, displaying his brilliance and might throughout the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. But what had been his final outcome?
Lu Ya, a dignified Quasi-Saint, had actually resorted to such a treacherous scheme as a curse.
In the end, he had cursed Zhao Gongming to death, sending his true spirit into the Investiture of the Gods.
This was also the true reason the Three Xiao had left the mountain.
Cangyuan did not know whether Lu Ya had become cunning and sinister because of what he experienced later on.
Or whether that was simply his nature.
After thinking it over, Cangyuan felt it was necessary to test the brat out, lest he plant a ticking time bomb at his side.
Having made up his mind, Cangyuan left his Inner World and appeared within Canglan Palace.
Six-Eared Macaque had already returned from making friends and discussing the Dao. Over the course of fourteen or fifteen Yuanhui, he had advanced from the early Golden Immortal stage when he left the island to the early Grand Unity stage!
(Six-Eared Macaque's role comes later. Gather the four monkeys and merge them into the Chaos Demon Ape.)
