Aolai Country of the Eastern Sea, Flower-Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave, Handsome Monkey King
Just as Taiyi Zun was sitting in the Land of Return to Emptiness, comprehending the Great Dao of Ruin, endless Heart Demon Incarnation transformed into a net and burrowed into the Space-Time Rift of the Land of Return to Emptiness, exploring the mysteries of the fall of those Myriad Realms.
Suddenly, a familiar notification sound rang in Taiyi's mind once again.
"Ding-dong!"
"The birth of the Lingming Stone Monkey of Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Aolai Country of the Eastern Sea has been detected. At this critical moment, please make the correct choice in accordance with the Homebody Choice System."
"Choose option one: leave the pass immediately, go to the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain in the East Sea, subdue the Lingming Stone Monkey, take him as your disciple, participate in the Journey to the West Calamity, and stop the rise of Buddhism. You will receive a reward: one copy of the Chaotic Great Dao Source."
"Option 2: Ignore this matter and let the Lingming Stone Monkey grow according to its predetermined path from its previous life, seek immortals in the East Sea, become a disciple of Bodhi, cause havoc in the Havoc in Heaven, be suppressed by the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha under the Five Finger Mountain, travel west to obtain the Victorious Fighting Buddha after experiencing tribulations, and you will receive the reward: Supreme Bodhi Heart."
Looking at the system's prompt, Taiyi moment without saying a word.
The so-called "Lingming Stone Monkey" is one of the Four Primordial Monkeys.
They were the Four Primordial Monkeys that transformed after the fall of the Chaos Demon Ape.
One of them is Wuzhiqi, Wuzhiqi, who understands yin and yang, knows human affairs, is good at coming and going, and can avoid death and prolong life.
This monkey is skilled at controlling water; even the water god Gonggong cannot match him in terms of water control abilities.
The second is the Six-Eared Macaque, who is good at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and the future, and understanding all things.
It is the same Six-Eared Macaque that Hongjun Daozu said, "The Dharma is not to be passed on to Six-Eared Macaque."
This monkey perished during this Journey to the West Calamity.
During the Journey to the West Calamity, this monkey attempted to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, substituting one thing for another, and transforming himself into Sun Xingzhe.
Unfortunately, he was seen through by the Tathagata Buddha Shakyamuni of the West and was slapped to death.
However, the current Tathagata Buddha of the West is the Red Cloud Buddha, and it is unknown how he will evolve in the future.
The third is the Long-Armed Ape Monkey, who can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, discern good and bad fortune, Qiankun the universe.
This monkey possesses immense strength, and its magical weapon is the Sky Pillar, weighing a thousand jin (approximately 500 kg).
The fourth one, of course, is this very Lingming Stone Monkey.
The Lingming Stone Monkey is capable of transformations, understands the seasons, knows the earth, and can move stars and change constellations.
That is, the character in the later Journey to the West Calamity: The Great Tribulation, Sun Dasheng Sun Xingzhe, Sun Wukong.
It was formed from a piece of Five-Colored Divine Stone left over from Nuwa 'Nüwa Mending the Heavens, combined with a portion of the primordial energy from the Chaos Demon Ape.
Born unruly, defying the rule of heaven, the constraints of earth, and the respect of gods and Buddhas, he ultimately caused the Havoc in Heaven.
Isn't this a farce?
The mighty Jade Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Realm and a powerful Quasi-Sage at the Great Perfection stage, was actually driven off the Lingxiao Palace by a monkey with the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal Realm.
They had to shout "Quickly invite the Tathagata Buddha from the Western Heaven!" to subdue this Lingming Stone Monkey with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal Realm.
It was a complete farce from beginning to end.
It is Western Buddhism sitcom.
This naturally sowed the seeds for the later Journey to the Journey to the West.
This is also the root cause of the rise of Western Buddhism and the Gradual Eastern Expansion of Western Buddhism.
At this moment, Taiyi did some calculations with his fingers.
It's almost time for the Journey to the West Calamity to begin.
As one of the main characters in the Journey to the Journey to the West sitcom, when else would the Lingming Stone Monkey be born if not now?
Otherwise, Buddha-Mother Zhunti and Amitabha Buddha would have dug him out no matter what!
Then, Taiyi's gaze fell on the reward he had chosen this time.
Looking at the choice of the two Supreme Bodhi Heart, Taiyi shook his head.
Isn't this the Bodhi Dao Fruit of Zhunti?
It can also be understood as the attainment of Buddhahood.
Taiyi is now a quasi -Limitless Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal. What's the point of having a Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal who is not even as good as a Buddha?
But I can't eat it.
As for choosing the reward of the Great Dao Source, it made Taiyi's eyes light up slightly.
The so-called Primordial Great Dao is naturally the Dao of the Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal.
It also encompasses the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.
Even the realm of the Limitless Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal!
After all, Wuji is also one of the Hunji.
Of course, this is just Taiyi's guess.
We'll have to wait until he refines it to find out the truth.
It can be said that any Daluo Golden Immortal in the Primordial Wilderness who obtains this Great Dao Source can immediately Prove Dao and become a Sage, achieving the status of Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal.
This Great Dao Source Chaos was just like a pillow delivered to a sleepy person for Taiyi.
He was still worrying about how to perfect his own path to Primordial Great Dao.
The Limitless Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal, Taiyi is currently just a thought.
"System, I choose option one."
As Taiyi made his choice, this chaotic Great Dao Source appeared in Taiyi's hands.
Without saying Taiyi word, Taiyi was immediately devoured.
The result was as expected.
This chaotic Great Dao Source does indeed contain a trace of the Limitless Great Dao.
However, the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal has taken over the majority.
The path of the Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal accounts for 30%.
The remaining 20% is the Limitless Great Dao Hunwu.
Taiyi was not greedy.
Something is better than nothing.
Moreover, this Great Dao Source contains the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal and the Dao of the Grand Primordial Luo Golden Immortal, which can allow Taiyi to fill in the gaps and improve his Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit.
After accepting the choice of reward, Taiyi took another careful look at the task details of option one.
"Subdue the Lingming Stone Monkey, take him as a disciple, participate in the Journey to the West Calamity, and prevent the rise of Buddhism?"
Taiyi looked at the system and selected a task, then stroked his chin and revealed a malicious smile.
"Zhunti, Zhunti, Jieyin, Jieyin, it's not that I, the God of War, want to oppose you."
"It's the system that's forcing me to do this!"
"Since that's the case, we'll just have to make things difficult for the Western Buddhism!"
"You've already suffered for so many years, what's a little more suffering?"
Taiyi chuckled.
As for whether Taiyi's actions will affect the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao and the progress of the world?
What does this have to do with Taiyi?
In any case, Taiyi has already broken ties with the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, Taiyi already had the idea of leaving the Primordial Wilderness World.
They plan to travel to other worlds.
Moreover, Taiyi is now in the Land of Return to Emptiness.
He had all his belongings on him.
Even if the Heavenly Dao overturned the Sun Star, it wouldn't affect him.
Moreover, since this Journey to the West Calamity is a great calamity, Taiyi's intervention can actually be considered a response to the calamity.
In the face of this great calamity, no one can escape it.
Even if Heavenly Dao intended to stop it, it could reduce the intensity, strength, and impact of the great calamity.
Measuring calamity means measuring calamity.
As long as heaven and earth are created, they will naturally and gradually form a great eon.
This is something even Heavenly Dao cannot stop.
It can be said that the Great Tribulation is, in essence, the driving force of the Great Dao.
In other words, the Great Tribulation is the evolution of the Way of Ruin within the world.
Thinking of this, Taiyi's heart stirred.
It seemed as if she vaguely sensed something.
It's as if nothing was captured at all.
This fleeting thought Taiyi moment.
"The Great Tribulation and the Land of Return to Emptiness —are these two related?"
