Long-Armed Ape, I Have Brought You a Treasure
"Are there really other such wondrous divine monkeys in this Primordial World?"
Ye Xuan smiled calmly.
"Of course there are, and of these four monkeys, two have already become my people, and one is right before my eyes."
"As for where the last one is, we don't know yet, but we believe we'll find him sooner or later."
"Great Sage of Mount Mei, I have long admired you."
"Now, two of these Four Divine Monkeys have become my people. I hope you are the third, which is why I have traveled a great distance to come here in person."
"Great Sage of Mount Mei, please don't take offense."
Ye Xuan's words were quite sincere.
He was naturally aware of Yuan Hong's methods, which is why he was so eager to recruit talent.
Yuan Hong, the Long-Armed Ape, was not only extremely powerful, but also possessed the talent of a great general.
His methods of leading troops into battle were also quite formidable.
Perhaps in the future, the Four Divine Monkeys will be led by the Long-Armed Ape, Yuan Hong.
Although the extent of his strength is unknown, judging from his talent and wisdom, he is very likely to be the number one among the Long-Armed Ape Yuan Hong.
The Intelligent Stone Monkey has only just been born, and its foundation is still somewhat shallow.
Although the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey has existed for a long time, it is more like a tyrannical creature.
Sending him to lead troops into battle seems rather unreliable.
The Six-Eared Macaque has never been seen before, and its condition remains unknown.
Therefore, Ye Xuan was determined to obtain the Long-Armed Ape.
Yuan Hong took a deep breath.
"I wonder how strong the other two monkeys are?"
Ye Xuan's words naturally piqued Yuan Hong's curiosity.
Upon hearing Yuan Hong's words...
Ye Xuan chuckled.
He thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Although the Intelligent Stone Monkey was born relatively late, it possessed astonishing talent, innate intelligence, and an excellent foundation. Even in the entire Primordial World, it was one of the top beings."
"Born with the strength of True Immortal, he has now been sent to Nuwa by me. I believe it won't be long before he shocks the entire Primordial World."
"Perhaps by then, his strength will be no weaker than that of the Great Sage of Mount Mei."
Ye Xuan chuckled as he spoke.
"The other divine monkey Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, is currently in the North Sea. In ancient times, it was already quite ferocious and became a well-known ferocious beast in the Primordial World."
"They were a menace to the Huai River region at the time, but were later suppressed by Emperor Yu, the leader of the Human Clan."
"I rescued him some time ago and discovered that he is incredibly powerful, with Wushuang combat strength. Even in a weakened state, his fighting ability is at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal."
"His methods of controlling water are even more terrifying; perhaps his true strength may even surpass that of the Great Sage of Mount Mei."
Ye Xuan's words were more or less intended to provoke him.
Or perhaps he did it intentionally.
The main purpose is to arouse the competitive spirit of the Long-Armed Ape.
To be honest, Ye Xuan did think so too.
Although Ye Xuan did not know the true extent of the Long-Armed Ape's strength.
But it probably won't be stronger than the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey.
It might end in a draw.
Of course, all of this is just Ye Xuan's personal speculation.
After saying this, Ye Xuan turned his gaze to Long-Armed Ape Yuan Hong.
Sure enough, Yuan Hong's expression changed, becoming quite unpleasant.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
He succeeded.
However Long-Armed Ape, the Yuan Hong, was somewhat uncomfortable.
According to the Human Emperor, his strength wasn't even considered outstanding among the Four Spiritual Monkeys?
It's even quite possible that they might be the weaker party?
This naturally made him extremely dissatisfied.
He never believed that any other monkey could compare to him.
At this moment, he turned his head to look at the Human Emperor, his eyes revealing a burning fighting spirit.
It seemed eager to immediately head to the North Sea to challenge the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey to a duel.
Looking into the other person's eyes, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Among the Four Divine Monkeys, the Intelligent Stone Monkey should be the most recently born, and judging from the current situation, his strength should be the weakest.
The Six-Eared Macaque, the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, and the Long-Armed Ape have all been born long ago.
As for which of the three monkeys was stronger, he didn't know.
However, Ye Xuan was quite familiar with Yuan Hong Long-Armed Ape.
This guy obtained the legendary Eight-Nine Arcane Art by chance.
This is a cultivation technique that is famous throughout the entire Primordial World.
It is said to have been created by the Chaos gods and demons in ancient times.
It can temper the physical body with supreme magical power until it is impervious to water and fire, and difficult to be harmed by magical treasures.
After cultivating to a high level, one can comprehend the infinite principles of change from the inside out.
Among them are the Heavenly Generals, the Thirty-Six Earthly Fiends, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.
But these two combined encompass almost everything in the world, and nothing is unchanging.
The difficulty of mastering the Eight-Nine Arcane Art is indeed beyond imagination.
It is said that perseverance, comprehension, and talent are all indispensable.
Those without great perseverance will never be able to cultivate themselves.
Even with perseverance, without unique talent, one still cannot succeed in cultivation.
In the entire Primordial World, those who have mastered this divine power are extremely few and far between.
The legendary Eight-Nine Arcane Art are said to possess miraculous powers.
The very beginning of cultivation involves immense pain and torment.
Legend has it that the Eight-Nine Arcane Art requires one to forcibly crush all of their flesh and bones, and then painstakingly reassemble them using a secret technique recorded within the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
Its purpose is to completely transform one's body and thoroughly overcome its shortcomings.
This will strengthen one's physical body and transform it to a perfect state suitable for cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
Legend has it that the Eight-Nine Arcane Art has nine heavens, and each heaven has eight stages, hence the name Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
The cycle continues; the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one becomes.
If nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Hong should now be at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm.
As for which stage of the eighth heaven realm it refers to, that remains unknown.
Some people in later generations confused the Long-Armed Ape Yuan Hong with the Intelligent Stone Monkey Sun Wukong.
Some people even believe that the two are the same person.
But that's not actually the case.
Yuan Hong, the Long-Armed Ape, cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
When he was listed on the Investiture of the Gods, the Intelligent Stone Monkey had not yet been born.
After the birth of the Intelligent Stone Monkey, he cultivated the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art, which was said to allow one to become a Buddha or an immortal upon completion.
Clearly, the two are not the same thing.
Ye Xuan noticed that Yuan Hong Long-Armed Ape, seemed to be still hesitating.
After a moment, Ye Xuan finally spoke.
"Great Sage of Mount Mei, I've actually brought you a wonderful treasure this time."
"Take a look and see if this wonderful treasure suits your taste!"
