After discussing matters at length with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave, Wang Hao finally returned to the Wilderness with satisfaction.
Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West to fall into the trap!
"Monkey, some things aren't to be taken lightly; you might end up losing your life!"
Squatting at the entrance of a cave, Wang Hao watched with great interest the white ape inside.
Inside the cave, there was not only the ape, but also a young boy pretending to be asleep and a little Loli who was actually asleep. Beside them was a jade slip, which was the white ape's target.
This white ape has an extraordinary origin; it is one of the Four Monkeys of Havoc that emerged after the fall of the Chaos Devil Gods, the Chaos World-Chaos Demon Ape — the Long-Armed Ape.
And that little boy pretending to be asleep was none other than the famous Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
Previously, he sensed Zhunti's clone infiltrating the Eastern Continent through the Primordial Wilderness Grand Formation, so he followed out of curiosity. Then he saw that the Saint Zhunti had taken away Yang Jian's brother, Yang Jiao, and left behind the jade slip containing the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
The Eight-Nine Arcane Art is Body Refinement technique that Zhunti and Jieyin derived from the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art of the Witch Clan. Although it cannot compare to the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art inherited from the Great God Pangu by the Witch Clan, it is still quite exquisite.
The Son Goku would later become known as Sun Wukong in the Journey to the West era, practiced this very Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
Wang Hao's voice startled the already guilty-looking Long-Armed Ape. It turned around to look at Wang Hao Wang Hao, but was stunned when it saw his face. Then, it happily ran out, knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly.
Do you know me?
Wang Hao was taken aback by the Long-Armed Ape's reaction, realizing that the little guy probably recognized him, though it seemed he was quite famous in the Central Plains Nine Provinces.
Since the initial disaster relief efforts, under the guidance of Emperor Dayu, the local Human Clan have created his statue in the ancestral temple, and many families even hang his portrait.
The Long-Armed Ape may have seen his portrait and thus recognized itself.
"Squeak..."
The Long-Armed Ape, kneeling on the ground, squeaked and gestured repeatedly with its paws, trying to express some kind of desire.
You want to become my disciple?
With Wang Hao's cultivation level, he immediately understood what the Long-Armed Ape meant. After thinking about it, he figured taking on a disciple wouldn't be a bad thing.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Long-Armed Ape has excellent aptitude, not much worse than the Three Pure Ones and others. After all, the source of this Little Monkey, the World-Chaos Demon Ape, is one of the top existences even among the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
Although the Long-Armed Ape is far from comparable to the World-Chaos Demon Ape, it has inherited some of the World-Chaos Demon Ape's essence.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Seeing Long-Armed Ape Wang Hao understood his meaning, the gibbon danced with joy, its bright eyes filled with longing.
He knew that Wang Hao was Great God among the Human Clan, and that if he became his disciple, he would definitely be able to obtain cultivation methods.
"From this day forward, your name is Yuan Hong. You may serve by my side. As for whether you can become my disciple, that depends on your efforts!"
Wang Hao would not immediately accept Yuan Hong as his disciple, since opportunities that are too easily obtained are generally not cherished, and he also needed to test this Little Monkey.
Having received Wang Hao's consent and a name, the Long-Armed Ape Yuan Hong was overjoyed and obediently followed behind Wang Hao, becoming his little follower.
"Little one, stop pretending to be asleep, we need to talk about some things!"
His gaze shifted to Yang Jian, who was still pretending to be asleep, and he greatly admired the little guy's intelligence.
In fact, Yang Jian woke up not long after Zhunti 'Zhunti left, but upon discovering the arrival of the Long-Armed Ape, he decisively pretended to be unconscious and pushed the jade slip, which exuded an extraordinary aura, outside his body.
Although the Long-Armed Ape has not yet cultivated any techniques, it is still one of the Four Monkeys of Havoc. Even though it has undergone countless reincarnations, resulting in a significant reduction in its original essence, its physical strength is still considerable and is far beyond what Yang Jian can currently contend with.
If a conflict were to actually occur with the Long-Armed Ape, it would only be Yang Jian and his sister who would suffer.
Once Wang Hao exposed him, Yang Jian knew he could no longer pretend. He got up and stared warily at Wang Hao, while protecting his still unconscious sister Yang Chan behind him.
However, upon seeing Wang Hao's face, Yang Jian, like Yuan Hong before him, was also stunned for a moment. After realizing what was happening, he quickly knelt down to pay his respects.
" Yang Jian of the Human Clan greets the King of King of Nine Li!"
Wang Hao was quite famous in the Central Plains Nine Provinces, and almost every household had his portrait enshrined. Even Yang Jian's family had one, so Yang Jian was quite familiar with Wang Hao's face.
"The little guy is quite clever!"
Wang Hao admired Yang Jian even more. He didn't mind sitting down on the ground, which was dirty, and said meaningfully, "You're mature beyond your years, young man. I'll be frank with you. When faced with great calamity, have you ever thought about the source of it?"
"Isn't he the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court?"
Yang Jian was precocious and vaguely discerned another layer of meaning in Wang Hao's words.
Their family had been destroyed by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals acting on the Jade Emperor's orders. Even their father, Yang Tianyou, died on the spot, their elder brother, Yang Jiao, was seriously injured, and their mother was captured and imprisoned by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
From these events, it's clear to anyone with discerning eyes that the mastermind behind it all is the Jade Emperor of Heavenly Court.
But since the Human Clan, the King of Nine Li, asked this question, it must be something more, and there must be more to it than meets the eye.
"Of course not, Haotian was just a pathetic wretch who was tricked by someone."
Wang Hao shook his head slightly with disdain, then continued, "Your father, Yang Tianyou, is no ordinary man. He is an avatar of a powerful figure in the Western Teachings, and there are quite a few people watching your family."
Your elder brother has already been taken away by the Sage of the Western Teachings, and you yourself have been targeted by the Chan Sect, who intends to use you as a scapegoat in the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation.
Your sister is better off; she has a master-disciple relationship with my wife Nuwa, and you can become her disciple to avoid Cause and Effect entanglements.
I'm giving you two choices: either you stay by my side and become my disciple, or you join the Chan Sect.
Wang Hao also developed a fondness for Yang Jian, a great figure in mythology. Moreover, Yang Jian's performance in The Legend of the Precious Lotus Lantern was quite dazzling, almost overshadowing Chenxiang, the protagonist.
Yang Jian did not make a choice immediately, but silently digested Wang Hao's words. His little head was in the middle of a brainstorming session, analyzing every word of Wang Hao's and comparing it with the information he knew.
He didn't doubt that the King of Nine Li would deceive him, because there was no need for it. Even if his mother was the Jade Emperor's sister, she was not qualified to be plotted against by this ancestor of the Human Clan.
" King of Nine Li, I choose to become a disciple of the Chan Sect!"
After much deliberation, Yang Jian solemnly announced his choice.
The reason he chose to join the Chan Sect was not because he distrusted the King of Nine Li. In fact, according to the legends about this ancestor of the Human Clan Human Clan he knew, if he truly joined his sect, he would surely gain benefits far exceeding those of the Chan Sect.
However, since this ancestor of the Human Clan offered two choices, there must have been a deeper meaning behind it. Therefore, he chose the second path, which seemed more arduous and even dangerous.
"You'd better think this through. Joining the Chan Sect is extremely dangerous. If even the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning discovers it, I won't be able to save you."
Wang Hao solemnly explained in a deep voice that he indeed intended to use Yang Jian as a spies planted within the Chan Sect, waiting for the crucial moment to deliver Critical Strike to the Chan Sect.
However, since ancient times, espionage has been one of the most dangerous professions, and the slightest mistake can lead to death.
" Yang Jian has no regrets even in death. He only begs that the King of Nine Li will protect his younger sister Yang Chan, his elder brother Yang Jiao, and his mother!"
Yang Jian's chubby face was filled with determination and resolve, clearly showing that he was truly prepared to die.
Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make those powerful figures who dared to scheme against his family pay a heavy price!
Be careful in the future!
After giving Yang Jian a deep look, Wang Hao picked up the sleeping Yang Chan and, with Yuan Hong following behind, disappeared into the distance.
"I'll make you all regret this!"
After Wang Hao left, Yang Jian looked up at the gloomy sky, his bright eyes filled with a sinister killing intent, hating those powerful figures who had plotted against his family.
Let's start our revenge by taking down the Chan Sect!
"Wife, open the door, it's me!"
Holding the sleeping little Loli Yang Chan in his arms, Wang Hao quietly arrived at the entrance of Wa Huang Heaven, intending to take the opportunity of having Yang Chan Loli as a chance to further cultivate his relationship with his wife.
This demonstrates the advantage of having great strength. If he had acted like this when his strength was insufficient, he would definitely have been slapped to death by Nuwa. But now his strength is not weak. He is a true Heavenly Dao Realm expert, much stronger than Nuwa, Primordial World Sage who can only use the Power of the Heavenly Dao.
Most importantly, Nuwa did not possess any powerful weapons for killing. Even the Qiankun Cauldron, her Innate Supreme Treasure, was only auxiliary, at most providing defensive capabilities and the ability to smash people.
This emboldened Wang Hao, who then employed the three essential elements of womanizing: persistence, shamelessness, and persistent shamelessness, taking the four-word mantra of relentless pursuit to its extreme.
Upon hearing Wang Hao's voice transmitted to Wa Huang Heaven, Nuwa, almost suffered a qi deviation.
Phoenix Jin Ning and Lingzhuzi trembled and quickly hid in a corner of Wa Huang Heaven, shaking with fear, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Every time that guy came, it would enrage the Empress Nuwa, causing her to fight fiercely in Wa Huang Heaven, destroying countless flowers and plants.
They were both affected many times, and even nearly died several times. Only the Empress Nuwa, with her profound Dao of Creation, saved them from the Guanzhong on multiple occasions.
But that only makes things worse!
"I'll accept this disciple; you can get lost now!"
Nuwa suppressed her anger and did not break the array restrictions outside Wa Huang Heaven. After taking Yang Chan in, she signaled to Wang Hao that he could get lost.
Over the years, she had come to know this bitch's nature. No matter what she said or did, it was best not to react, otherwise that bitch would definitely take advantage of her.
Most importantly, that bitch must never be allowed to enter Wa Huang Heaven. Although she can restore Wa Huang Heaven to Great Dao of Creation original state after each violent battle, it is still very tiring to do so.
Therefore, she absolutely could not let that bitch in. To this end, she used the Creation Cauldron and the Qiankun Cauldron, two supreme treasures, as the array's cores to set up a great formation. Even if that bitch was a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, she would find it difficult to sneak in...
How did you get in?
Looking at Wang Hao standing before her, Nuwa blinked her beautiful eyes in a daze. She glanced at the still perfectly functioning array and couldn't understand how this scoundrel had managed to sneak in by bypassing the array.
